Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 90

"Alright, let's do this ish!" Lucifer says excitedly. He sets up his tripod, then begins to fix lighting.

Castiel watches him work from the bottom bunk bed in his bedroom, somewhat entertained by how into this he is. They're about to film their Q and A video, which Lucifer said he should have edited and uploaded by the end of the day. Dean, being as bored as he was, decided to watch, sitting on the top bunk out of frame just for a sneak preview of the video because why not?

"'Kay, that works," Lucifer says, sitting down next to Castiel with his phone in his hand to scroll through tweets. Castiel is doing the same, but they're scrolling to different parts of the recently section of the tag, so Castiel is much closer to the beginning of the tag than Lucifer, who is looking at the more recent tweets. "Ready?"

"Ready," Castiel replies.

"Then showtime!" Lucifer turns his attention to the camera. "Hey guys! It's Satan here." He looks to Castiel, giving him the silent cue to introduce himself.

"And —"

"That random hobo Lucifer found on the street," Dean finishes.

Castiel laughs. "Thank you, disembodied voice."

"We're totally keeping that in," Lucifer tells them.

"I feel so special," Dean jokes.

"You should," Castiel replies. "No, but for real, I'm Lucifer's brother, Castiel."

"And I kidnapped him from New York and forced him to make a Q and A video with me," Lucifer adds.

"Didn't you kidnap him from LA?" Dean asks.

"What?"

"We came here from Jody's, so wouldn't that mean you kidnapped him from LA, not New York?"

"I — but — shut up, disembodied voice!"

Dean and Castiel both laugh.

"Anyway, back to what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," Lucifer continues, "Welcome to episode one of Ask the Angels Anything! You guys tweeted us questions using '#ATAA' and we're just gonna scroll through and answer random ones and I'm gonna cut out the long awkward pauses that are probably gonna happen between questions. Get it? Got it? Good. Let the questions begin."

The two start scrolling through the tweets, and, after about fifteen seconds, Castiel says, "Alright, someone — and I'm not gonna do names because I'm sure a bunch of people asked the same questions and you can just pretend it's you — asked me what my favorite song is because no one asked me at Jody's this time."

"Gasp, a tradition is broken," Lucifer deadpans, then adds, "no, kidding. Pick a favorite song, any favorite song."

"See, now I gotta think about this, which I should've done before I read the question. You know what? Lucifer, you go. What's your favorite song?"

"You're expecting me to choose?" he asks, as if it's the most absurd thing he's ever heard. "Um... this is hard, wow. Oh, you know that show Victorious on Nickelodeon that ended way too soon?"

"I know of it?" Castiel replies. "I think I've seen, like, an episode and a half. Why?"

"I like that song that Tori and Jade sang together on their date. Y'know, 'Take a Hint'?"

"What now?" Castiel asks.

"You don't know 'Take a Hint?" Lucifer repeats as if it's personally offensive. "That song I used to belt out for no reason? Not ringing any bells at all? 'No you can't buy me a drink. Let me tell you what I think. I think you could use a drink. Take a hint, take a —' you really don't remember that?"
