Chapter Text
"mammon?"
luke was waking up, to mammon putting on his jacket. he was a bit disoriented for a minute before remembering where he was.
"i need to tell-"
"simeon? no biggie, i messaged him before i went to bed."
"you did? thank you!"
mammon cringed, was the kid always this loud in the mornings?
"i should probably be getting home now." luke got up and stretched, immediately wincing at the soreness in his arm.
in truthfulness, luke didnt actually mind the mild pain. in fact, he almost wanted to do it again. he quicky turned his attention away from that thought and to mammons worried expression.
"let it rest for a bit. and let me reapply those."
so after sitting for a few minutes, luke had fresh bandaids on. he rolled down his sleeves and smoothed his hair out in the mirror.
"thanks for the help, mammon." luke smiled to him, gently wrapping his arms around mammon.
mammon stiffened as he carefully tried to hug luke back.
they stayed like that for awhile, mammons arms loosening into a calmer embrace.
"i should still get home soon. i dont want simeon worrying, even if he knows where i am."
he was silent for a hit, mammon opening his mouth to speak before luke continued.
"wait, how much di-" "i only told him you stayed over. i said that youbwere having difficult sleeping and he didnt wanna bother you."
"im gonna get in trouble for leaving so late."
"get goin then."
luke gets up and goes to climb through the window, taking a glance at the pack if cigarettes on the desk.
"dont even think about smoking, kid."
"i wasnt gonna!" lukes cheeks grew the colour of a light pink, "i was just curious."
luke crawled through the window and began his way back to puragatory hall.
