I.O.U.

The Good Day With The Wasted Favor

You searched through the cabinets, trying to find any plate that you could. You weren't very familiar with Lucifer's kitchen yet, and so, it took you a little longer than it should have. Once you finally found the plates, you sighed a little and grabbed a few, walking back to the living room.

"What's all this? I wasn't gone that long was I?"

Lucifer was standing by the coffee table where you had spread out various types of foods.

"Long enough for me to cook, no, but it was long enough for me to order some food for us." You laughed.

Lucifer watched as you set the plates down, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Did you get into trouble while I was gone my dear?" Lucifer asked.

"No? Why?"

Lucifer pointed to the food on the table.

"You've gotten all my favorite foods, are you trying to butter me up for something?"

"No, I promised you I'd tell you everything remember? So, I figured if we're going to talk, might as well be over dinner." You said.

Lucifer said nothing and you lightly pushed him towards the table.

"So let's eat!" You smiled.

You watched Lucifer sit down, and you only grew more nervous.

'And hope tonight doesn't end to horribly...'

"For how long?" Lucifer asked as if he hadn't heard you the first time you said it.

You took a small sip of your drink as you watched various emotions run through his eyes. A little liquid courage would have been nice right about now, but you figured it might be too late to grab a bottle from the shelf.

"A few weeks." You repeated a little quieter than the first time.

"Weeks! That worm has been tormenting you for weeks and you've only just told me last night?"

You sat your fork down, suddenly uninterested in eating. You couldn't tell if he was angry with you or the situation.

"Old habits die hard I guess." You muttered.

Lucifer fell silent, and he realized how unfair he was acting towards you. You'd spent most of your life hiding what that man did to you. Lucifer knew he couldn't blame you for doing the same thing now, given the amount of stress you were under.

"Well, I suppose there is no point in worrying about this right now." Lucifer said.

That was the exact opposite reaction you had been expecting. In fact, it shocked you so much that you just stared at him. Lucifer stood, gathering up the plates.

"Really?"

You looked almost relieved at the subject change.

"Of course, everything will be ok Y/N, so it's senseless to worry about it right now, how about a movie instead?"

You cast him a quick glance, as you helped him clean up.

"Are you trying to distract me?"

Lucifer flashed you a charming smile.

"Of course! Is it working?"

You laughed, shaking your head at his antics.

"A little."

"Marvelous, you pick the movie, I'll put the extra food away." Lucifer said.

You watched him go before settling onto the couch and grabbing the remote. When Lucifer came back in you had already made yourself comfortable and was patiently waiting for him with the movie paused.
