Chapter Text
Monday stood before Father, back straight, hands by his sides, head up, wings out, eyes anywhere but his father’s own.
“And how, exactly, do you plan on using this knowledge, Monday?”
Monday couldn’t help but flinch when Father said his name, even if he wasn’t being scolded.
“Father, I assure you, no harm will come to Lucifer,” Monday told Father. “Even though he is vulnerable, mortality wise, when around the human detective girl, we have a plan for his protection.”
“He’s arrogant, overconfident and reckless,” Father told his son. “Be careful, be observant, be strong.”
“When am I not?” Monday answered, a smirk tugging at his plump lips.
Father let out a chuckle.
“Good luck, Monday,” he dismissed.
Monday gave a 90º bow, then left his Father’s haven without the usual hesitation.
He went straight back to Earth, the mortal world, where he had left 6 of his brothers.
“We have to protect Lucifer?” Tuesday asked incredulously. “Father wants us to protect Lucifer?!”
“Yes,” Monday confirmed bluntly.
“Oh my, God,” Friday breathed, practically vibrating in excitement. “We haven’t seen brother in years! Thank you, Father! I will do my best!”
Sunday rolled his eyes at his brothers, before closing them again and flopping back down onto the couch.
“This whole situation is fucking exhausting,” he groaned.
The other angels ignored his complaints.
“Where does he live?” Wednesday asked, finally looking up from his phone. “He has a nightclub, right? And he lives there? Where is it?”
“LA,” Monday supplies. “He owns Lux nightclub in LA, and lives in the penthouse upstairs.”
“We get to go to LA!” Thursday screeches in excitement.
Sunday growls at the volume of his younger brother’s voice, reaching out and latching his arms around Thursday’s waist, before dragging the smaller angel’s form onto the couch with him.
Another high-pitched squeal – this one of protest – escaped Thursday’s throat, but he was soon quiet, as Sunday willed him to sleep.
“Sunday’s right, everyone,” Monday announces in a leaderly tone. “We leave tomorrow morning, get some sleep.”
