                                  (Adams pov)

I walk into the kitchen where lute and Alastor are talking about some new procautions for the hotel.
"Hey- what's up?"
"Liliths on some extra bullshit, angels are going against heaven to kill sinners AND hellborn, and Lucifer cries everytime you talk to him."
"Oh. Yeah I get the lilith thing. She sucks."
"Well Al and sera are in agreement on me staying, just until we get rid of her."
"Oh? That's sick."

She sits at the table, drinking what looks to be whiskey.
"It's like 1pm. Lute." Alastor says.
"Okay. And?"
"You shouldn't be drinking in the middle of the day." I add.
"Alright both of you shut the fuck up, yeah?"
Al sighs, look at his paperwork.

Lucifer steps into the kitchen, everyone getting silent as he walks toward his fiance.
"How are you, honey?"
Lucifer sniffles, resting his head on Als chest.
No one says anything.

Lute gets up, walking out of the room.
I should probably follow her..right?
Yeah.

I walk behind her down the hall.
"Stop following me. Adam."
"Not a chance."
She stops, her fists clenching.
"What's wrong?"
"This is my fault." She mutters.
"What-?"
"Lilith..everything revolving it right now. It's all..my fault."
"Don't think like that.."
"But it's true!"
"No it's not! She would've found out Lucifer moved on and would have been down her regardless!"
"No! She didn't give a single fuck until i forced her to come down here!"
I walk closer to her, "lute.."
"Don't."
"Listen to me." I pull her closer. "You are the strongest, smartest most caring person I know.. and I know you know blaming yourself makes it worse..remember.."

..
She smiles lightly.
"You've been there for me..every single day..since day one..and lute..I love you..so much.."
Her face softens, looking up at me.
"No-"
"I love you." I repeat, this time more firm. "I mean it.."
She doesn't speak for a moment..
"I love you..adam.."
