Chapter 10

The next morning, Lucifer didn't want to wake up. He hadn't gotten much sleep. He had been tossing and turning all night. He lazily got out of bed and went to his closet to get dressed. He put on his usual clothes and brushed his messy hair before going downstairs.

Alastor went downstairs to see Lucifer pouring a mug of coffee. He stared at him for a moment before realizing he was spilling coffee everywhere. He walked over to him and took the coffee pot out of his hand before he spilt anymore. "Wha-" Lucifer looked up to see Alastor standing over him with the coffee pot in his hand. "Oh, thanks..." Lucifer mumbled. Alastor tilted his head. "You seem tired." He said, setting down the coffee pot. Lucifer just nodded, not really listening, and Alastor went to grab paper towels to clean up the mess Lucifer made. It was clear given his current state, that he wasn't going to do it himself. He started cleaning up, and Lucifer was confused on why Alastor kept helping him. Once he was done cleaning, he went to eat his breakfast.

Lucifer was so tired he could barely focus the whole day. "Dad? Dad!" Charlie said as she waved a hand in front of his face. Lucifer snapped out of his tired daze. "What?" Charlie looked concerned. "Oh, sorry about that." He said. "Dad, are you ok? You seem really...out of it today." He didn't want to seem vulnerable in front of Alastor, who was next to Charlie, so he lied. "Nah, I'm alright." He said as natural as he could. Charlie gave him a concerned look before she went back to talking. "Anyways, I was saying that nobody's taken down the banners from our engagement party, and the hotel needssome cleaing up...so I thought this would be a good partner activity!" Angel rolled his eyes and got a death stare from Vaggie. Lucifer already knew he was getting partnered with Alastor. "Husk, Angel and Niffty, me and Vaggie, and Alastor and Lucifer!" Lucifer sighed and walked over to Alastor. They got sent off to different parts of the hotel to take down banners and whatever else might be lying around. Lucifer was trying to reach a banner by standing on a chair, but he lost his balance ant tipped over. He was about to hit the floor, but someone caught him by his waist. He looked up to see Alastor looming over him. Lucifer turned gold and readjusted himself to stand up straight. "Thanks..." He mumbled. Alastor tilted his head as he looked at him. "Are you alright?" Lucifer looked at him confused. "Why do you care?" He said raising an eyebrow. Alastor gave him a look. "Well, you shouldn't be doing things that require balance if you don't have the ability to do so." He said as his ear twitched. ""Wha- of course I can balance myself! I just slipped." He said defensively. "Really?" Alastor said. He suddenly lightly pushed Lucifer and he fell on his ass. "You were saying?" He said teasingly. "Ow! Asshole..." He said as a pain shot through his head. Alastor held out a hand to Lucifer. Embarrassed, Lucifer took his hand as Alastor helped him up. "You seem tired, why don't you go lie down." Alastor suggested. He didn't want to take his offer, but he was so tired he couldn't refuse. Lucifer just nodded his head and headed to his room. Charlie walked over to Alastor. "Where's my dad going?" She asked. "He was clearly tired, so he went to his room." Alastor replied. Charlie smiled softly. "I'm glad you two are finally getting along." She said. Alastor looked away as a light pink crossed his face. "I suppose so..." He mumbled.

Lucifer was walking to his room. Why did Alastor care enough to let him go to his room? Suddenly he started hearing the ringing in his ears again. Dammit, not again! He couldn't shake the feeling that danger was nearby, every time he heard it. Suddenly he felt someone grab him from behind. He tried to get out of their grasp, but they had put some sort of cloth over his mouth. "ŁËŢ ĤÏM ĜØ" Lucifer heard a voice say, though he couldn't make out who. Alastor maybe? He saw a red blurry figure coming towards them before his consciousness gave out.
