I.O.U.

Even Without A Favor

You let out a heavy sigh as you exited the building. So consumed in your own thoughts, by all the questions Linda had provoked, you never heard your phone going off. At least not until around the third time it started ringing. You cursed under your breath, fumbling with the small device as you pulled it out your pocket.

"Yeah?"

"How did it go?" 

Lucifer's voice sounded hopeful and you furrowed your eyebrows.

"Lucifer? How did you even know I was done?"

You heard a car horn and looked around for a moment, until your eyes landed on the all to familiar black Corvette parked on the other side of the street. Lucifer waved to you and you smiled hanging up the phone. You hurried across the street, you slid into the passenger seat, closing the door after you. He sped away and you almost told him to slow down, but settled for rolling your eyes instead.

"Well are you going to leave me in suspense or are you going to tell me how it went?"

You turned your head to look at him and you crossed your arms.

"It was a waste of time, just like I said it would be."

Lucifer sent you a quick look before focusing back on the road.

"Then I suppose you won't be going back?"

You didn't answer that, well not in the way he was hoping, rather you answered it with a question of your own.

"I thought you weren't going to ask again since I went this time." You reminded him.

"I did say that didn't I?"

You raised an eyebrow and Lucifer slowed to a stop at a red light. He turned in his seat to face you.

"Alright, I won't ask again, I'm a devil of my word, but will you at least keep her card? Just in case."

You could never understand why Lucifer cared so much about your well-being, or why he cared at all. You looked straight ahead and pointed to the light.

"It's green."

Lucifer stared at you a moment longer before letting out a frustrated sigh, and turning back around in his seat.

"You're always so difficult darling, I'm beginning to think you enjoy making me worry about you."

You gave him a small shrug.

"Gotta keep you on your feet old man."

You smiled a little, and Lucifer chuckled, shaking his head. The rest of the car ride was spent in a comfortable silence between the two you.

You thanked Lucifer for the ride and started walking towards your front door. However you paused, having made it only halfway to the door. Lucifer watched you stand there a moment before finally turning around. You walked back over to the car and leaned forward on the driver side door.

"I said it was a waste of time, but I never said I wouldn't go again, I have a deal to uphold anyway."

Lucifer smiled at you and then reached over his seat. He opened the glove box, and pulled out a small package. He tossed it to you and you caught it.

"What's this?"

The package made a rattling noise when you shook it.

"Your pills."

You held the package away from your body slightly and gave him a grossed out expression.

"Don't look at me like that, do you really think I'd give you the same one's you threw in the rubbish? I got your prescription refilled, honestly love, give me a little more credit."
