Alastor pressed his face into Lucifer's hold, ear flicking in annoyance. Angel Dust was beneath the King, running his hands through Lucifer's unruly curls and Alastor's fluffy curls. All three of them were snuggled up on the couch with the King of Hell sandwiched between them, and he was reading his favorite book, The Great Quackstby.
Alastor was going to lose his fucking mind-
“Why da long face, snugglebuck?”
Alastor's ears fluttered and then lowered completely, tail wagging as he nuzzled his face into them both. He just wanted their
Lucifer set his book aside. “Need our attention?” the King smirked, spade tail twitching much like a cat's would when it was playing with a mouse.
Alastor swallowed thickly and nodded. Angel hooked a finger under his chin, prompting Alastor's eyes to widen and he moved forward. Was Angel about to give him a kiss- oh goodness how does one even-
Lucifer's face popped up between them- and he got cheek kisses instead. Alastor sighed deeply as the King huffed. “Hey, you promised that I'd get your first kisses, Bambi.”
That's true- but he-
Uhm-
Alastor's cheeks flushed and he tugged his collar, looking away. Lucifer pouted as Angel laughed, the sound deep in his chest with a playful purr that rumbled with it.
“Flustabuck.”
Lucifer nestled back into Angel's chest as he scooted over, allowing Alastor to be pulled into the chest fluff too. The deer demon's hand clenched and unclenched the fur, almost like he was playing with it and stemming with the fluff between his claws.
Angel scratched both of his boys’ heads, watching them melt further into him. This, he could get used to.
Unfortunately, he had a job and as he got a message, he heard the sound of both boys being upset. “I kno', but ya kno’ I gotta go.” He said as they pressed into him further.
Angel Dust hated leaving, but he had to. He looked down to tell them both he didn't have a choice, but as he did he got a kiss from Alastor. Lucifer quickly followed, both nuzzling into the side of Angel's face as he sat there, eyes wide.
….what's the worst that could happen if he stayed with this cuddly pair? Valentino could wait.
And wait he would.
Alastor purred softly as he nestled into Angel, and Angel adjusted him so that he was laying more comfortably. Lucifer helped tuck the sleepy buck in, and Angel smiled gently.
“He sleeps really well when we're both here.” Lucifer spoke softly, watching Alastor press into Angel more.
“Yea, I noticed dat pretty early on, Luce.” Angel Dust said. Alastor's constant want for Angel's affection was doing so much for the spider. More than he ever thought it would.
His heart and soul still hurt from being used to spy on the hotel, how he betrayed them all- he still struggled to come to terms with it and handle it… but Lucifer was there. So was Alastor.
The King smiled and sat up, pressing a kiss to Angel's temple. “You are so motherfucking brave, Angel.” He watched the spider's cheeks darken slightly. “Here, let me free so I can go make you something sweet.”
Lucifer paused, grinning. “Though there aren't many things that are as sweet as you both.” He disappeared in a flurry of sparkles, leaving Angel Dust flustered with a sleeping Radio Demon.
Angel watched Alastor curl up, and he sighed softly as the deer got comfy. He'd be here for a while. Unless…
“Smiles?”
“....mmnnnoo…”
“Snugglebuck~?”
“.....mmmnnfff..nooo…”
Alastor shifted to bury his face into the fur more, ears pinned back as Angel lightly scratched his back.
“Al, let's go snuggle in ya room.”
Alastor's eyes popped open and he shook his head. “....non!”
“Whatcha mean no? Where else we gonna snuggle, fuzzbutt?” Angel huffed, head tilted.
Alastor had been doing this for the last several weeks- not letting Angel or Lucifer anywhere near his room. Vaggie was the only one who'd ever been inside and even then, she wasn't allowed around. Niffty would come and go from it like always, seeing as he couldn't and frankly wouldn't bar her from the room- but as for Lucifer and Angel Dust?
They weren't allowed.
Why?
Angel looked up as Lucifer entered with some apple tarts, and he watched Alastor's ears perked up. The demon liked honeycrisp apples, and that's what Lucifer used to make the tarts. Alastor happily reached for one, but Lucifer held it away.
“....Luci?” Alastor tilted his head, confused.
“You can be a good boy and be patient, yes?” Lucifer purred softly.
Angel had to bite his tongue. He knew Lucifer had been listening in on them. The Devil was up to something- and using praise like that usually got them pretty far with Alastor.
Alastor narrowed his eyes, ear flicking as he slowly nodded. “...oui…je peux.” He huffed to himself, muttering under his breath. “menmsi mwen pa vle.”
“Swapping languages only trips up Angel, not me, Bambi.” Lucifer smirked, booping the deer's nose. “Now then, can you take us to your room please? Vaggie told me you have a swamp in there, I'd like to see the fireflies.”
Angel watched Alastor fidget, before shaking his head. Still stubborn as can be, but they weren't giving up this time.
Angel gently rubbed Alastor's hip as the deer settled back into the snuggles. “Smiles… I really would like ta see you room- Luce and I could snuggle wit ya and can have ya room smellin like us. Don't ya want that?”
Alastor's ears twitched. He was listening- this was good!
“And we could have sleepovers there, I bet it's got nice sounds at night. You can show us your bayou and we're very excited to learn.” Lucifer smiled.
Alastor whined, turning to snuggle into Angel. It was working. Just a little bit more….
“An Nuggs can come stay in ya room sometimes too, if we get ‘im used ta it.” Angel ran his fingers through the curls, earning a soft squeak as Alastor nestled into him.
“Can you take us to your room?”
“....oui.”
Alastor's tail wiggled as he offered a hand to Lucifer. The King rose a brow but held his hand, and Alastor offered the other hand to Angel.
Angel blinked. “Uh, okay, yea hand-holdin’ is nice n all b-”
His words were cut off as they melted into the shadows, causing both the Devil and the spider demon to let out various noises of surprise. They reformed in Alastor's room, both startled by that as well.
Alastor's gaze shifted to them as his clothing changed too, the way it always did when he entered his room as of late. He was left on a pair of pajama shorts and Angel's sweater that had gone missing a few weeks ago.
Angel's mouth fell open. “Babybuck ya stole my sweata? I been lookin fa that!” he chuckled as he watched Alastor squirming a bit. “Ah, I can't be mad at ya, ya too damn cute to be angry at.”
Lucifer's tail twitched in agitation, mild jealousy flaring up until he noticed the item clutched in Alastor's arms. He was holding it much like one would a plush toy.
It was Lucifer's coat.
The one that he thought he misplaced.
Lucifer's tail began to wag and thump against the floorboards as he gazed at Alastor with love and affection.
The poor Radio Demon was out of his element though, shrinking under their gaze. He didn't like having *all* this loving attention on him, it felt like he was being studied!
But he was.
Angel crooked a finger his direction, gesturing Alastor closer. “Come here pretty boy.”
Alastor whined softly, fidgeting with the coat.
Lucifer's tail twitched and he smiled at him, wings fluttering as he hovered by Angel's side. “Come here, cuddlebuck.”
Alastor whined once more, slowly shuffling over to them. When he was within reach, they pulled him into a hug, watching him melt into their embrace like he'd been doing.
On the outside, he was the Radio Demon- fearsome Overlord of Hell that took no shit.
But on the inside?
He was their cuddle buck, someone who only wanted love and affection from them- never asked or expected them to be anyone different, and loved them for them.
Perhaps love was too strong- Alastor was still getting used to the word.
He like liked them a very great deal.
