Chapter Text
Mc was just getting ready for bed when there was a knock on their door.
"Come in!" They were expecting Mammon or even Asmodeus as they were the most likely to visit at such a late hour but instead they were surprised by Lucifer.
"Hello Mc. I'm sorry to bother you so late but I had a question. May I come in?"
"Of course!" MC hesitated in their movements as they realized he was planning on sitting on their bed but smiled and sat next to him. "What can I help you with?"
Lucifer pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Mc. "This is a list of foods that are to be available at the next social event. We've done our best to make sure everything is safe for human consumption but I would appreciate it if you would take another look before I submit it." He waited patiently as Mc read over the list and asked a few questions about ingredients in dishes they didn't recognize. As he waited though he looked around MC's room. He smiled softly at the decor around the room Mc had slowly added that had finally started to make it feel truly like them. He also noticed the multitude of signs his brothers had been there. Eventually his eyes moved back to Mc but something just behind them caught his eye. Underneath their pillows a small piece of fabric poked out. It was black with a subtle rose pattern on it.
"What's in this…." They looked up and noticed Lucifer wasn't paying attention to them. Instead he reached behind them and pulled the shirt from under MC's pillow. They froze and blushed as they realized he found it.
"Mc. Why do you have one of my shirts?"
Mc was still frozen and was doing their best to not look him in the eye as their embarrassment continued to grow.
"MC. When, and how, did you steal this?"
His voice was firm and Mc felt their heart stutter. They spoke quickly. "I didn't think you'd notice. It was my first week here. Mammon and I were doing laundry and he got angry that someone had left their clothes in the dryer so he started throwing them out before he realized they were yours so he started putting them back and I helped but….. a lot of your clothes still smelled like you even after being washed… and…. I stole one of your shirts when Mammon was distracted." Their face was bright red and they took a deep breath trying to calm themselves. They had never thought Lucifer would find out. They hadn't done anything bad enough to get in trouble, at least not serious trouble, but they feared stealing from the eldest was probably not a wise choice.
"Wait here." MC's head jerked up as Lucifer walked out of the room with the stolen shirt in hand. They waited obediently for him to return, certain he was coming back with some sort of punishment. He wasn't gone long though before he was back and in front of them holding a plain shirt. "This is a shirt I sleep in occasionally. I usually wear one for a few nights before throwing it in the wash. You take this one and I'll return in a few days to trade you for the one I've been sleeping in. Do you understand?"
Mc nodded with wide eyes and mouth agape. They gently took the shirt and laid it in their lap before Lucifer hooked a finger under their chin to look him in the eye. "No. More. Stealing. Do i make myself clear?" They nodded again vigorously. "Good. Now go to bed." He stood and headed for the door. "Don't be mistaken, we will be discussing this further tomorrow."
As soon as he left Mc brought the shirt to their nose and fell back onto the bed with a giggle.
