You're not alone

Mending Relationships

Sorry for the wait...again.
I already have 900 words on the next chapter. So hopefully can get it done this weekend!
Also I know that Michael is spelled ae and not ea.
But stupid autocorrect keeps changing it on me, and I got tired of fighting it.

Hope you enjoy!

The next morning Lucifer woke up a little earlier then normal as he sat up and stretched out some. He took a quick shower and everything to get ready before dressing in his usual outfit, looking over at Alastor who was still sleeping on the bed, he smiled as he moved and and gave him a kiss on the back of the head earning a little mumble from the sleeping demon, he followed this up by moving to the next room and giving the kids a kiss goodbye as well. He had gotten everything set up for his day away, Charlie was going to handle the throne if anything popped up, Alastor was taking care of the hotel and the kids so that was covered as well. He pulled out his phone and sent Michael a text as he walked downstairs and into the lobby, and just like clockwork the moment he put his phone away and stopped walking the portal opened up in front of him.
Walking through the portal he looked up at the gate and smiled as he saw Michael standing there waiting for him.
"Good to see you again Lucifer" He greeted as the gate opened up, Lucifer walked through and gave his brother a hug.
"You as well Michael"
The 2 brothers started to walk through heaven and head towards Micheals house.
"So how are things back in hell?" He asked to get a conversation started.
"Things are going rather well, the kids are growing up quick, already started to walk around and talk, im sure it won't be long before they hit there little rebellion stage, not quite looking forward to that all over again" he said with a little chuckle as he talked about it.
"What about you, Michael, ever plan on starting your own family one day?" Lucifer asked a little curious now, Michael was older then Lucifer and yet still didnt have a family of his own yet.
"I dont think those are in my cards Lucifer...never was big on the idea of settling down and starting a family" Michael said with a smile as he held his arms behind his back.
"But doesn't it get lonely up there by yourself?"
"That's why im always working, it keeps me busy and let's others have more time for their own families...and besides..I have enough regrets in the past to make up for" he said as he looked over at lucifer, his smile not quite as big and held a little bit of sadness behind it, a pain Lucifer knew all to well himself. It was a moment of silence as the brothers continued their journey but more quiet this time as Lucifer had thoughts on his mind now, wondering what all Michael was referring to when he said he had regrets.
"So anything special you'd like to do today?" Michael asked now breaking the slightly awkward silence that had fell upon them.
"Im not really sure...didnt think this far ahead" Lucifer admitted with a little chuckle.
"Kinda thought youd have it all planned out for the day if im being honest"
"Well.  What about a nice flight, we use to love going on a long flight together" Michael suggested now, Lucifer thought about the idea, it would be nice to stretch his wings and go on a long flight once again, last time he was actually flying was when he took Charlie on the flight to the meeting.
"Yeah...that sounds nice actually" he said with a smile and unfolded his wings from his back, but still had them tucked up against himself, watching as Michael did the same.
"Lets move to the clearing over there then we can take off" Michael said as Lucifer nodded and followed him.
The sound of wings flapping was heard as the 2 brothers took off towards the sky now, gaining altitude before leveling off and almost gliding.
Michael looked over and smiled some as he saw Lucifers relaxed face, the wind blowing through his hair as he held his eyes shut, just enjoying the moment.
"Ive missed taking these flights" Michael said as lucifer opened his eyes and looked over at him.
"You mean you dont fly anymore?" Lucifer asked curiously now, and surprised when Michael shook his head.
"I spend all my time walking around, or if I have to fly over the front gate or get somewhere quickly, but as for just taking relaxing flights....no, I haven't done that since..well you know" he said softer at the end, it went quiet between them for a moment, just the occasional flapping of wings.
"Its really grown up here since last time" Lucifer said as he tried to change the subject now sensing that it bothered Michael a little.
"Yes, we've grown quite rapidly here, and I dont think it's going to ever stop growing, getting more and more people everyday. Much like you do down there in hell I assume, Though thanks to Charlie some are redeeming themselves and making their way up to heaven" he said which did make Lucifer smile some.
"Shes something else that's for sure" he said with a little chuckle. Michael looked over at him and thought some.
"You wouldn't happen to remember what I taught you?" He asked as Lucifer looked back with a little smirk.
"I thought youd never ask" he said before flapping his wings and gaining altitude with Michael now following. The brothers flew high into the sky before folding their wings away, their upward movement slowed before changing directions as they now started to fall back towards the ground, picking up speed rapidly and yet the brothers faces held the look of pure relaxation, the wind rippling around them as they just let their senses do all the work. Nearing the ground they finally opened their wings and took back off towards the sky.
"I haven't done that in ages!" Michael said rather enthused, clearly he's been some time without giving himself a break from work.
"It was nice. I did it with Charlie a little bit ago"
They flew for a little bit longer before landing down near Michael's. It was a well deserved flight for Michael but for Lucifer, he had something else on his mind. Walking down the sidewalk and up to the door, Michael reached up to grab the door handle before Lucifer finally had to ask.
"Why...I just...I want to know why you did it?" He asked as he looked at Michael who stopped outside the door of his house before letting out a soft sigh.
