Fuck you (not) (an applemedia fanfic)

I walk with Al, as Lucifer and Mrs. Hartfelt are walking in front of us down the sidewalk.
They get along well.
I don't know her well.
Als still being quiet.
Do I need to put in that kind of effort?
I know he loves his mom, maybe I should try to have a good bond with her the way Lucifer does.

We walk into the emporium, Lucifer excited to see Rosie, and introduce the two.
He's adorable really.

"Luci!" Rosie walks over, hugging him.
"Rosie!" He hugs her back. "This is Mrs. Hartfelt!"
"Hello,"
Rosie gives her a head bow. "Welcome, Luci here has told me so much about you!"
"It's a pleasure, quite a pleasure, Als told me quite a bit about you too," mrs. Hartfelt says, offering to shake hands with rosie.
Rosie smiles and shakes her hand.
Lucifer looking back at us, he's practically vibrating with joy.
"Who woulda knew there'd be sinners with manner, really it's quite the surprise, heavens really painted an off picture!"
"Well, there's still monsters in all of us, but yes especially cannibal town, we're very respectful here. Everyone except.."
"Susan. Eugh." Al and rosie say.
"Oh! Lucifer told me about her too," she chuckles.

They all talk, everyone but me.
I'm not big on socializing outside of work, it's exhausting.
I'm sure I can get a chance to bond with her a bit before she leaves, but I don't think I feel too comfortable doing that right now.

"Oh yeah and the she started singing! Got all of their attention! It was brilliant!"
"Oh? Shes such a delight!"
"Yes! Yes!"
They laugh and talk, Lucifer slipping away from them and jumping into Als arms.
"They're getting along well!"
"Mhm, I figured they would," Al answers.
"Can we go to the ice cream place with the lil duckie in the counter, with the lil top hat?" Lucifer asks, his happiness is contagious.
"Mmm, why don't you and vox go, yeah? I'll make sure my mother makes it to the hotel safely."
"Mmm, oki! C'mon vox!"
He grabs my arm, pulling me with him.
"You're in a good mood,"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No, it's just cute."
We walk together down the sidewalk, his hand still holding my arm.
"Oh! Guess what!"
"Hm?"
He looks up at me, "Al told me what day his birthday was!"
"Oh? Dang I don't even know that one, enlighten me?"
"January first!"
"Oh? That's like, 3 weeks from now, how'd you get him to tell you that?"
"He was half asleep!"
I chuckle, "does he even remember telling you?"
"I don't know, but I wanted to tell you so we could plan something, cuz duh."
"Okay, well, let's get you that ice cream and we'll converse on it, yeah?"
"Yeah!"

We walk into the ice cream parlor, lucifer walking to the duck on the counter, patting its top hat.
Adorable.
