Chapter Text
There was something off about Lucifer's sleeping expression. Whatever it was, just made Daniel feel uneasy..... He reached forward to push the raven black strands of hair entangled in Lucifer's beautiful lashes, but as he did, the demon opened his eyes, and immediately, even without having to use magic, Daniel could sense something was very wrong.
"D-daniel?" his voice was still heavy from sleep, "You mustn't look at me!"
What....?
Did he just?
"Don't look at me! Please! I'm so pitiful..." he covered himself in the silk black bedsheets and stood up.
Daniel was entirely lost for words.... he knew something was weird when Lucifer suddenly excused himself to bed early, but he didn't think anything of it. Daniel stood up and sighed. This was going to be a problem.
"What makes you think you're so pitiful?" he asked, slowly making his way towards Lucifer.
"I- I don't know.....", he stuttered and Daniel shook his head.
"You're not pitiful. A pain yes, but your anything but pitiful. Now, could you stop stepping back, your going to walk into the lamp and hurt yourself."
"But!"
"No buts! Get over here right now!"
Lucifer hesitated, before walking forward slowly with his head down. Daniel seriously should have been taking this seriously, but he just couldn't get...how cute...he was...
But dealing with how clumsy he was, was not fun in the slightest.
He slipped in the bathroom twice, somehow managed to cut himself with a pen, and got his finger stuck inside the buttonhole of his shirt.
"Seriously. You're useless today. Come here.", Lucifer obediently walked to Daniel's side and stood stiff as he did his buttons up. "Now if you would get rid of that stubborn attitude of yours once and for all. That would be nice. But I'd be asking for too much wouldn't I?"
Daniel was startled when Lucifer grabbed his arms with teary eyes. "I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me for being stubborn! I don't mean to upset you! It's just...", he looked away and let go slowly dropping his hands to the side. "I don't want you...to leave me again...that's why I didn't say anything to you....I was too proud to admit it...."
"You don't want me to leave again? Do you mean? Wait! No!" he reached forward to grab his hand but tripped on the sheets still laying on the floor, instead, toppling over and falling on top of Lucifer. He hadn't expected him to just fall with him either. But there they were. "I didn't leave because of you Lucifer. I swear, what I said had nothing to do with that. I was already planning on leaving. I had things I wanted to do in the human realm. And I couldn't burden you with them. I knew you would try to help me, so I didn't say anything. But, I just got so mad at what you said, that I made it look like it was your fault I left. It wasn't. I love you too much to do something like that."
Lucifer looked away again, his ruby eyes filled with tears.
"So...it wasn't my fault?"
Daniel covered his blush with his sleeve and nodded as he wiped away Luci's stray tears. He was just too beautiful. Seriously.... And Daniel couldn't help himself when he leaned forward.
"Hey! Shortie! Get the fuck up! And you too..... Am I interrupting something?"
"Read the room dumbass!"
"Fine!! Well, we have a problem. The boys kind of went berserk. And none of the girls are helping me...It would be great if you could give me a hand oh great and mighty sorcerer."
"Okay! I get it! I'm coming!"
Kasumi nodded and closed the door. Daniel had completely forgotten the awkward position he was still in. But was quickly reminded when a stray hand was running through his long hair.
"It's so pretty.... I wish you would always keep it this long...."
"You're too cute.... this is illegal."
"C-cute!?"
"Stop being cute!"
