Part 6:
When Chloe spots Lucifer at the couch she lets go of a breath she didn't know she was holding. Walking over to where Lucifer is seated she sits down beside him and immediately wraps her arms around him. She buries her head in his shoulder as Lucifer returns the hug and presses her small frame against his own. Without saying a word Chloe slowly lifts her head from Lucifer's shoulder and preses a kiss against his lips. The kiss grows heated real quick and Chloe starts to push Lucifer down on the couch, her on top. But Lucifer stops her, by putting a hand against her shoulder softly pushing her off.

"Not that I am not enjoying this little makeout season, because I do very much so. But I just want to know what had you so worked up, that you came running in here lookin like you were about to have a panic attack?" Lucifer says with concern in his voice, giving Chloe a warm look as he puts a hand on her chin, making her look at him.

When their eyes meet Chloe's is full of unchaird tears, that she desperately tries to keep at bay. She is quiet for a while thinking of what to tell Lucifer. "I... It was just something that Amenediel said that got to me that's all. it's not a big deal."

"Amenadiel? I swear if he Said something to hurt you I am gonna rip him apart!" Lucifer breathed out in a furious voice. He makes his hands into fists.

Chloe immediately reached out and put a hand on his, making him look up at her. "No Lucifer, he didn't hurt me. He just told me some things I already knew But wasn't able to accept on my own. He helped me deal with that, and well when it finally hit it got the better of me and that freaks me out." She tries to explain and make him calm down. He seems to relax a bit.

Lucifer looks down on their hands and then looks back up on Chloe. "What did he tell you? What was it you weren't able to accept on your own?"

She didn't want to tell Lucifer what she and Amenadiel had been talking about, because she didn't know how Lucifer would react to them having figured it out. "It doesn't matter anymore." Is all she says and she knows that it's not enough to get Lucifer to back down. But she doesn't know what more to say.

He gives her a sceptical look and lets out a deep breath. "Talk to me, please?" He says in a low and soft voice, something that almost sounds like pleading. He places his hand on the side of her neck just beneath her cheekbone.

Chloe closes her eyes trying not to get affected by his words. But when he has that tone in his voice and looks at her with those big pleading puppy eyes, it's impossible to not tell him the truth. "I told him how helpless I feel, that no matter what I do we will still lose. And well... he told me that you probably feel the exact same way. You feel just as helpless and lost as I do and it's eating you away. But he also told me that you are probably hurting a lot more than you let on, both physical and psychological. He told me that you are probably about to give up and stop fighting, because you feel that no matter what you do, we will still lose, just as I do." For every Word the tears get closer and closer to slip out and when she says the last few sentensenses They start running down her cheeks.

Not knowing what to say Lucifer does the only thing that comes to mind and pulls her in for a hug letting her rest her head on his shoulder. He had no idea how Amenadiel had been able to figure that out, because it was true. He did feel helpless and the hope was starting to slip away. "Detective. He was right, well on some parts." When Lucifer opens his mouth to speak again, Chloe sits back up and looks at him. Some tears still left her eyes. He reached out to wipe them away and let his hand rest on Chloe's cheek as he continued. "I do feel helpless and I do feel like there is nothing we can do to change this outcome. My hope is about to run out... but what my brother was wrong about is me giving up. Well... the thought has crossed my mind many times this last few days. But everytime they do all I can think about a second later is you... and that makes me always change my mind. Because you are worth fighting for, it doesn't matter how much pain I have to go through and what I need to face... as long as I can be here with you." He didn't realize how true that was before the words left his mouth and for the first time in a long time he was chure about one thing, his feelings for Chloe.
