Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 101

A/N This is totally unrelated, but TAYLOR SWIFT'S NEW SONG IS FUCKING GOLD OH MY FUCKING CHUCK I LOVE IT SO FUCKING MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

Anyway, back to the story:

"I can't believe you're leaving us!" Lucifer whines, hugging Misha as if he's expecting the dog to vanish if he doesn't. They're all back at the Novak house so Castiel can pack, not that much of that is going on, and Misha loves that house, so there's really no way the dog is a flight risk there, not that Lucifer cares.

"You know I've already moved out, right?" Castiel reminds him. "And I've already seen you more these last few months than I did in the first two years after I left, so really, you're getting more than you bargained for already."

"Well, yeah, but Cassie!" he whines.

"We'll come back and visit you a lot," Castiel assures him.

"You say that, but I know you won't."

"'Course I will!"

"No, like, you really won't want to," Lucifer insists. "I think we're all just as fed up with everyone in this house as you are. I kinda want to ditch, too, honestly."

"Hey, maybe one of our neighbors will move out and you can live next door," Dean jokes.

"I would totally be up for that," Lucifer replies. "But only if there's some underground tunnel connecting our houses so Misha can come visit me."

"Honestly, you should just take my dog," Castiel tells him. "I think you'd both be happier."

"Castiel!" Lucifer says as if it's the most outrageously offensive thing he's ever heard. "Never! He's your little pupper wupper! Even if you can't show him off online anymore."

"Hey, speaking of, I should probably check the responses on that ," Castiel says. "See how badly people are freaking out, y'know? I haven't been online in, like, over twenty-four hours. I'm having internet withdrawals."

"I don't think that's necessary," Lucifer says quickly.

Too quickly.

"Lucifer, what did you do?" Castiel asks slowly.

"What? Nothing! Nothing!"

Castiel just gives him a really? look.

"I didn't do anything!" Lucifer insists.

"I'm gonna check Twitter," Dean announces, pulling out his cell phone. "See if I can figure out what's going on."

"Don't," Lucifer says quickly, swiping his phone away.

Castiel rolls his eyes. "Samandriel!"

"What?" he yells back.

"Why won't Lucifer let me go onl—" he's interrupted by Lucifer slapping a hand over his mouth.

"Shushles," he whispers, then calls out to Samandriel, "Ignore him!"

"If you're wondering why he won't let you online," Samandriel replies, ignoring Lucifer entirely, "it's cuz he said you're dead and he doesn't want you to ruin the joke."

Castiel gapes at his older brother. "You — you what? Lucifer! Why?"

"Because I thought it would be funny?" Lucifer replies, more a question than an answer. "Besides, Gabriel said Dean did it to him and that sounded pretty funny to me."
