Pleasure to love you - radioapple

"Come on come on..." lucifer sighed as the call went to voicemail again.

"Ya look great! I like this one!" Angel smiled, glass of champagne in his hand.

"I actually kinda agree... it suits you" Husk agreed.

"Luci look at you!!" Ozzie opened his arms. "The white is just" he made a kiss sound. "Perfection."

Lucifer looked in the mirror at the white suit he was wearing, the tailcoat jacket had a dark red lining on the inside which contrasted nicely with the white suit pants. He gently ran his hands down it before his eyes wandered to the empty space next to him. He could see Rosie sat there awkwardly tapping away at her phone. So much for a joint fitting.

Finally after 40 minutes of trying on different suits, not that any compared to the white one, Rosies phone rang.

"Alastor! Where the hell are you youre supposed to be-" rosie started but lucifer practically lunged himself towards her grabbing the phone out her hands.

"Al what the fuck!? Where are you!!" He moved away from the crowd.

"Mon amour im sorry, im... caught up..." alastor apologised.

"What the fuck do you mean by that..." he growled.

"Well... um.... Some guy hit his girlfriend in the bar so i acted... but of course ive had to drive to my studio to finish the job and-"

"Al... where are you..." Lucifer held his breathe.

"... new Orleans..."

"Fuck." Lucifer sighed running his hand through his hair. "Are you fucking serious!?"

"Im sorry!! I will be there as soon as i can... give me a few hours..."

"No al. Im going home. I found the one i want anyway.... You'll have to go suit shopping on your own sometime..."

"Lucif-" he hung up before alastor could protest.

Lucifer changed back into his white sweater and blue jeans, taking the suit to the front. He walked past the others who were all sat drinking their champagne waiting for him, laughing with each other.

"Wait shows over? What about smiles?" Angel frowned.

"Hes not coming today." Lucifer said as he paid for his suit. "He'll get one another time..."

Rosie sighed and went over to him as he gave her her phone.

"What did he say?.." she asked.

"Hes in new orleans.." he mumbled as he took the bag "lets just go..."

They left the store and all started arguing about where to go for lunch but all lucifer could think about was how all their plans were falling through. He felt so alone recently... despite being surrounded by people.

"Hey Luci what do you think? Pizza or chinese?" The much taller male asked.

"Sorry guys i think im just gonna go home..."

"Oh..." ozzie frowned, as did the others.

"Ill drive you home.." husk went to step forwards but lucifer stopped him.

"Its okay im going to walk... i could use the fresh air"

No one protested, able to see the man needed to just take a walk for peace of mind but Rosie grabbed his hand and squeezed it softly.

"Be patient" she smiled apologetically before letting him go.

Lucifer walked back towards the house, just focusing on his breathing as he went. A technique he was taught after his divorce. Alastor was his soulmate... he kept repeating it over and over. He closed his eyes and the image of the first time he walked in on the darker man killing someone flashed before his eyes. He sighed and kept walking, counting to 10 with each breathe. He missed him. He hated that every now and then alastor would disappear for a few days to kill. Maybe if he wasnt so far the killing wouldnt bother him so much as he would barely notice it... but him being gone for days is something he noticed a lot.

"Lu!" Alastor said practically running through the front door.

He pushed through to the kitchen expecting to see lucifer cooking since it was 8:30pm but he wasnt to be seen.

"Lucifer?.." he asked peaking his head into the living room and there he was.

Curled up on the white couch in a red blanket in his pajamas. Hair a mess and a small bit of eyeliner under his eyes indicating he had been crying at some point throughout the day.

"Mon amour..." alastor said softly slowly walking towards him and placing the red roses on the coffee table.

"Youre home..."

"Im so sorry dear.." alastor knelt down and kissed his head, "did you manage to at least get your suit?.."

Lucifer nodded. "Yeah..." he looked over at the roses "flowers?... really?.."

"I know... cheap shot" alastor sighed and sat back against the coffee table "i just-... i dont know how else to show you how sorry i am... i really wanted fo be there. Believe me i did. To the point where i almost let him go... but her face lucifer... she flinched everytime he moved... she was scared" he sighed "i couldnt let him go home and hurt her again..."

"Al... do you remember the first time you told me you loved me?" Blue eyes met dark brown.

He nodded.

"I had just walked in on you slicing up a dead body... just found out you were the famous radio killer..."

"I-i remember..."

Lucifer sat up and leant on his knees so he was level with the taller male.

"I think about it a lot... and i remember what i felt at that moment but i also remember how much i love you and that i agreed to stick by you through it all... because i love you and accept you..." he held the others hands offering him a soft smile which he gladly returned. "How much you care is one of the many reasons i love you... i get it okay"

Alastor nodded.

"But it doesnt mean i dont get upset from time to time..."

"And you are so entiled to feel that way mon amour..." alastor gently kissed him.

"Oh!" Lucifer stood up. "I have a surpruse for you come on.."

Intrigued, alastor also stood and followed as Lucifer lead him up the stairs. Lucifer pushed open the door to his office, the room almost looking complete now, minus the last box in rhe corner. The walls were a beautiful butter yellow with some photos of the pair and a few of charlie and other friends too. The desk was large and a light wood that complimented the room and his computer set up in the middle with the desktop photo being a photo of them very drunkly laughing. On top the desk was a rolled up poster. The blonde picked it up and passed it to Alastor.

"Whats this?..."

"Open it" he smiled proudly.

Alastor did as he was told and unrolled the paper, revealing a detailed drawing and blueprint of a radio station. But it wasn't an ordinary radio station.

"I-is this?..."

"Yeah... i was thinking of building it locally so you can work closer to home"

"Mon amour... w-where were you thinking? I mean a radio tower randomly popping up is goijg to be obvious-"

"Hey i got that covered... its a route i didnt want to go but i know its gonna work" he smiled brightly "trust me.."

"And youre reallt okay with designing a murder house?.."

"If its for you... yeah"

Alastor dropped the paper running anf hugging him tightly. "Thank you mon amour".
