Pleasure to love you - radioapple

Alastor sighed contently, his fingers tapping rhymatically against the pale skin of the shorter mans chest.

"This is what we needed just a day off from everything" lucifer said, burying his face in the mess of brown curls.

"I agree" alastor hummed, enjoying the moment.

Lucifers hand ran up and down alastors arm before grabbing his wrists and bringing it up to his mouth to place a gentle kiss on the golden words.

"I still cant believe you thought i was a bellhop" Alastor scoffed.

"You were in a red waistcoat what was i meant to think?" Lucifer laughed slightly and kissed the side of alastors head.

"You proved me wrong Mr Morningstar.."

"Oh yeah?" He raised an eyebrow intrigued

"Yes, i always believed soulmates were such a curse, but you my dear" he propped himself up on his elbow to look at the other "are a blessing"

Lucifer blushed softly. "I love you"

"I love you too" he connected their lips, that same electricity as when they first kissed ran through them.

"How are the invites coming along?" Alastor asked as they both settled back into a comfortable position.

The blonde sighed as he traced his finger along alastors wrist, goin he over the golden words "i have no idea who to invite... between us we have less than 10 friends and family.."

"And your family is definitely out of the question?" Alastor looked up at him.

"Well...i havent seen any of them since i was banished when i was 18. I got a call around 6 years ago saying my father was dead and he hadnt left anything in his will to me" lucifer tensed a little "and i have no clue where my brothers are..."

Alastor just nodded, not sure what to say.

"Definitely cant invite your folks?.."

"Lucifer my parents are both dead" he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh shit." Blue orbs went wide. "Im so sorry i forgot about that"

A silence rained over them for a few minutes before lucifer spoke in a low voice "how did you mother die?.."

Alastor went stiff, suddenly clutching lucifers hand and the grey bed sheets in the other. The smaller man was no longer expecting an answer and he understood but it was a topic Alastor avoided a lot.

"She was sick... cancer..." he said softly.

"Oh shit al... im sorry..."

"She suffered immensely her whole life. She moved to new orleans hoping for a better life yet her husband was an asshole... but his death caused her heart ache due to the stupid rules of soulmates and then cancer took her, made her suffer for three years..."

"When did she pass?..."

"12 years ago now... when i was 27.. she moved here with me after she became ill. She stayed with me and i helped care for her, as did Rosie..." he explained.

"Wait 12 years?... y-you were dating him when you were 26 right... you dated him for three years..."

Alastor sighed knowing where this was going. "Lucifer please... dont make this about him"

"No no!" He sat up panicked "i wasnt trying to-..." he laid back down sighing "i just... it sucks he got to meet her and i didnt... i know how important she was too you..."

Alastor nodded before slowly sitting up.

"You okay?..."

Alastor nodded but the tears in his eyes said something very different. Lucifer just pulled him to his chest, gently running his hands through the dark curls.

"I love you bambi"

"I love you too"
