Lucifer awoke from his slumber with a soft yawn and stretching out on the bed some before nuzzling back into the warmth Alastor was providing. His eyes slowly fluttered open and was met with the sight of Alastor still sleeping peacefully. Lucifer smiled to himself as he admired the details of his face. Feeling the steady heartbeat against his head as he was using Alastors chest for his personal pillow, it was truly perfect and he couldn't wish for anything more in life right now, he was back in Charlie's life, married the most amazing man in the world, was finally getting through his depression and patching up relationships with his family. He let out a soft content sigh as he lay there, pondering over how much his life has changed in the past year. He looked back up at Alastor to see a pair of red eyes looking back at him.
"Mmmm...I can get used to waking up like this," he said, earning a smile from lucifer.
"Good..because your stuck with me,"
"Wouldn't want it any other way, my dear," he said as lucifer scooted up farther to lean in and kiss him, which Alastor was happy to return.
"Big plans today?" Al asked after the kiss broke. Lucifer thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"Was going to head downstairs and see what everyone else was up to and go from there,"
"Sure, you can make it that far...I was rather effective last night," he said with a smile as lucifer winced a little as he moved himself out of the bed.
"It's...sore, but I can manage," he said as he stood up. His legs were still a little shaky at first, but after taking a few steps, he was already getting better at it.
"Why don't you just use your powers and heal yourself?" Alastor asked while tilting his head to the side before lucifer stopped and proceeded to do the frog blink with his eyes.
"...oh yeah!" He said before snapping a finger and standing up straighter, and walking around now without a bit of pain.
"So.. apparently being the king of hell doesn't require one to use their brain," Alastor said with a light laugh as he got up out of bed. Lucifer jabbed a finger in his chest as he looked up at him.
"I will strangle you," he said as Alastor tilted his head, looking down at him.
"I'll get a ladder first... then strangle you," he said, adding a playful smile before they both started to laugh some. They left the room and made their way down to the lobby, holding the others hand. Upon seeing her father, Charlie got up and walked over.
"Morning, dads," she said as Alastor looked at her some before smiling more. He already knew she had seen him like a dad, but to actually hear it was hitting a different string altogether.
"So.. I had a question for you," she said as she looked at lucifer.
"Of course, dear, what is it?"
"Would...you be up for cooking breakfast together...like how we use to?" She asked a little nervously. Lucifer just stood there for a minute before a smile stretched across his face that could rival Alastors.
"I would love that!" He said happily before Charlie smiled as well, and they both took off towards the kitchen, Alastor looked over at Vaggie now, who smiled at the adorable sight before looking at Al.
"Still not ask her yet?" He asked before sitting beside her.
"I haven't found a good place to do it... nothing seems to fit what I'm looking for," she said with a frustrated groan.
"Well, what are you looking for?"
"Just..something special..quiet" Alastor listened to her before smiling.
"I know of a perfect little place off in cannibal town. It's a new restaurant they built next to a hotel..take Charlie there for a nice dinner and then check into the hotel for the weekend, use the excuse to look at other hotels for ideas" he said before she thought it over and smiled some at this.
"That does sound nice... but what does it cost?"
"Worry not, my dear...all will be covered. You just let me know if you want it,"
"Wh...Al I can't let you do that,"
"Nonsense, consider it a gift from me for the both of you," sensing that she wasn't going to win this one she nodded and smiled before hugging Al. Smiling when he returned it.
"You know Al..when I first met you I never thought of you more then a mere trickster..a cruel heartless monster, and yet here we are now, you have surprised me" she said with a smile before letting go of him.
"I had my eyes opened...and let in everyone, and it's been the best decision I could've made," he said, patting her head.
"Now, I have a hotel to book for you two and a husband to find," he said before twirling his cane and walking towards the kitchen, not expecting to see what he did.
(Few minutes prior)
Lucifer and Charlie were in the kitchen preparing supplies for what they needed.
"Ok..mix..milk..butter..do we have syrup?" He asked as Charlie looked in the pantry before reaching the top shelf and grabbing a bottle.
"We do." Lucifer smiled as he looked at the lady his little girl had turned into, though in his eyes, she would always be his little appleseed. They got everything and started to set up on the counter, and lucifer kept catching Charlie looking up at him.
"What it is char?"
"Just happy to see that smile back on your face," she said as lucifer looked at her.
"Well, with such a wonderful family, how could I not. A man who loves me, a daughter who forgave me, everything is perfect right now"
"I'm glad to hear that, dad," she said as she looked down at the bowl of powder mix... and then at her dad and smirked.
"Am I doing this right?" She asked, and as predicted, lucifer turned right into her trap. He turned his head only to be smacked in the face by a handful of powder making his white face turn even whiter before his eyes opened up and he seen Charlie giggling, covering her mouth with a hand and the other holding herself up on the counter. A smile spread across his face as he looked back at her.
"So... gonna be like that then.. there will be consequences!" He said, putting a finger up as Charlie smirked again.
"I'll take my chances" she said as she threw another handful hitting his chest this time as lucifer grabbed the closest thing which was a couple of eggs and tossed them back before scurrying around the counter seeking protection as Charlie yelped out from the eggs shattering against her. Grabbing the bowl of mix, she took off after her dad as he grabbed a pan to use as a shield.
"Oh, the battle is on!" Food and mix was flying across the kitchen before both parties ran out of food and looked at each other, covered head from toe in eggs and pancake powder mix before they busted out laughing.
"So...who was the winner?" Alastor chimed in now seeing the absolute mess they had made of the kitchen and what was gonna be pancakes.
They both shared a look.
"Tie."
"Me," lucifer said before looking at Charlie.
"I'm clearly more covered!" He said proudly as Alastor and charlie looked at him.
"Wait....what did I say?"
"That Charlie wins, voted by me," he said as he tapped his head with cane. Lucifer smiled and held his hands up.
"Fine, by vote Charlie has won the food fight" he said before snapping his fingers and instantly they both were clean and the mess was picked up, and this time they actually managed to bake the pancakes, the plates were soon filled with delicious pancakes as lucifer called out for breakfast, watching the others file in and grab a plate before he was hugged by his daughter.
"I had fun dad... we need to do this more often,"
"I would love that char char," he said with a smile as he returned it.
"I did have one more question to ask."
"Whats that?"
"You think you could teach me some stuff on running hell?" She asked while he tilted his head.
"I...can, but why the sudden interest?"
"Well..I'm going to be queen of hell one day, and even though you are immortal...I don't think you want to run it forever or take some time off" she said as he listened to her reasons before nodding.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to learn how to do it for emergency uses, I have a meeting with sins next week if you want to talk along. Between then, I can show you the paperwork and stuff. The basics," he said as she nodded.
"Sounds good to me, dad,"
