Reboot (a soulmate au) [Moved]

11. Code Words and Butterflies

Everyone downstairs where trying to continue on with what they were doing before Gabriel had arrived in tears. Castiel kept glancing over at the stairs to see when or if Charlie will return with news about his brother. Micheal sat across from him staring into space while keeping his gaze on the floor. Lucifer was too busy trying to lighten the mood to notice Micheal's odd behavior. Dean was trying to distract Cas from the issue upstairs while Sam, Claire, and Jo sat there confused and worried.

Lucifer nudged Micheal while saying, "hey, back me up." Micheal jumped and looked at Lucifer for a bit before asking him to repeat. Lucifer, now noticing that something was up, worriedly asked Michael a simple question, "what were you thinking about, Mikey?" He turned his gaze from Lucifer and mumble "nothing" but, of course, Lucifer knew that it was a lie. "Mikey, we have our code for a reason. No one will know except me." He said softly. "It's nothing extreme, Luci, just moya arefy. I'll get over it and it wasn't bad just a small little thought." Micheal responded. Everyone just looked at them confused and Claire asked, "you guys have a secret code? If Charlie was here, she would be all over it."

"That's why we're talking about it while she isn't here." Lucifer said and pulled Micheal to his side so that he was leaning against it. "You guys look like a real couple. When are you guys going to get married?" Dean joked. "Jokes on you we're already married!" Lucifer said proudly and kissed Micheal on the cheek and started laughing.

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your code used for?" Jo asked. "I mind you asking." Micheal mumbled and Lucifer laughed again. "We use it so that I know what's up with my dear Mikey without him having to actually say it. It's also so that no one else will know." Lucifer explained. "Know what?"

"What he's talking about of course!"

"Yeah, Jo, you should've been able to guess that." Sam joked. "But what would he be talking about?" Claire asked. "I mind these questions." Micheal mumbled again but was ignored. "Personal stuff that he probably doesn't want everyone to know, probably." Dean said glancing at Claire before going back to trying to distract Castiel.

"I'm ready for bed." Micheal said freeing himself from Lucifer's grasp and standing up. He had his hand be grabbed and he was pushed back to the floor. "It's too early for sleep!" Lucifer said. "We need to find something to do." He got up and ran up the stairs. Everyone can hear him yell, "if you don't get downstairs in two seconds than you're going to miss Dean and Cas making out!" Charlie and Gabriel where downstairs in record time, disappointment was clear on their faces when they realized that Dean and Cas were not making out. "I was promised ships." Charlie pouted. "Maybe if you tell us a game to play than they'll do it again." Lucifer said sitting back down next to Micheal. "I would say truth or dare again just so that I could dare them to kiss, but we already did that and people would see that coming so maybe we should play," she paused, "uh, I forgot what it was called, but it's like hide and seek."

"Aren't we too old to play hide and seek." Dean said. Gabriel randomly gasped and everyone looked at him concerned.

"There's a butterfly in the house." Gabriel explained. "Very funny, Gabe." Lucifer said rolling his eyes. Micheal looked up and said, "oh, I see it." Lucifer rolled his eyes again. "We should let it outside because it'll die if we leave it inside." Castiel said getting up. "Wait, there's actually a butterfly?!" Lucifer said standing up and looking around. "Of course, why else would we talk about it?" Castiel asked him. "I thought Gabe was messing around!" Lucifer said looking around quickly before running over to Gabe and picked him up. "If the butterfly gets near me, I'm sacrificing you." Lucifer explained. "Luci, it's a butterfly." Gabe said jokingly annoyed. "You know that I'm afraid of butterflies!"

"You're afraid of butterflies?!" Sam laughed and was soon joined by Dean, Charlie, Claire, and Jo. "Just you wait! I will sacrifice you all to it!" He said pointing at them with Gabe still being held up by one hand and was dangling over his shoulder. "That's what we should do!" Charlie said. "Sacrifice each other to the butterflies?" Cas asked. "No! Talk about our fears and stuff."

"Not until you get the butterfly out!" Lucifer said and Charlie sighed.

~after getting rid of the harmless butterfly~

"Okay, now that there is no butterfly, we should just sit and talk. Everyone must share at least one thing. Let's start with Lucifer. Why are you afraid of butterflies?" Charlie said. "They just freak me out." Lucifer said. "What about you Charles?"

"I really don't like highest, if I'm being honest. Not that I would not go up some where, but it really makes me uncomfortable." She explained. "Bro! I'm also afraid of highest!" Dean said. "I hate flying, and going up places. Ten million things can go wrong."

"I hate it when people drive around with their windows down." Claire confessed. "It makes me feel like they're trying to kidnap someone or something."

"I used to be afraid of water." Jo said.

"I'm afraid of the future." Said Gabriel.

Castiel said, "I'm afraid of not being able to prevent things. You know? Like not being able to do anything in a situation."

"I'm afraid of my sister's future." Micheal confessed. "I thought you were going to say windows." Lucifer mumbled from next to him. "No, I actually really like windows. They're really calming to be near."

"I'm afraid of clowns." Sam started, "they're just really freaky and weird and should not exist."

"You know what, I agree with Sam clowns are so much scarier than the future." Gabe said. "Actually, I take that back. The future is scarier but clowns are a close second."

Wow. What's this. An update.

I've honestly just been sucking at updating. I didn't update during the summer and it's the second to last day of my fall break and I wrote all of this fairly quickly. I haven't looked it over yet but I honestly don't care.
