Chapter Text
Lucifer pulled the apple themed shades on his window, revealing the crisp orange and red leaves of Autumn. He placed his head on his hand, sighing as he imagined the day to come on the Orchard. As he picked himself up and walked to his closet, he was rudely interrupted by his co-owner.
The door cracked open, and Alastor eyed Lucifer with his usual creepy smile.
“Don't you know how to knock?” Lucifer spat, darting his eyes at Alastor from his shirt.
“I'm sorry, but I made breakfast. I'm honestly surprised you aren't asleep still.”
“I'm getting changed. Can you leave now?” Lucifer said, rolling his eyes.
Alastor gave another glance before finally leaving, Lucifer sighing loudly the second he did.
‘Why did I make this guy my co-owner in the first place?’ Lucifer asked himself. Although as much as he didn't like to admit it, he knew why. Lucifer had always found Alastor intriguing, and no matter how much they fought, they were something one could definitely call.. friends.
Lucifer smiled, sure, Alastor was annoying as hell sometimes, but Lucifer found himself valuing their friendship, for some reason.
Lucifer finished dressing and left his room, excited to see the breakfast Alastor made. He walked to the table and froze when he saw the huge meal in front of him.
“Like it? I had enough time to make it since you sleep so late instead of using the morning for something productive.” Alastor smirked, pulling out a chair for Lucifer to sit on. “Ladies first.” He added.
Lucifer did not focus on Alastor's usual silly insults, too focused on the beautiful breakfast in front of him.
“Woah, this smells amazing! You even made pancakes, you know I love pancakes!” Lucifer's smile grew softly, his eyes shining, and Alastor fought the blush clawing on his face.
“Tsk, I'll take that as a yes, boss.” Alastor said mockingly, pressing a finger on Lucifer's nose.
Lucifer smirked, rolling his eyes playfully. “Seriously though, why'd you do all this?” For me. Lucifer added in his head.
“I wanted to make a nice start of fall breakfast for us. And I thought it would make you feel better since you’ve been so mopey about Lilith.” Alastor sighed, and added more quietly, “I can't stand to see you so sad over a girl who only wasted your time.”
Lucifer frowned when Lilith was mentioned. Their break up a month ago wasn't very easy on him, he loved her, helplessly so, but I guess she just never felt the same. He sighed and finally accepted the seat Alastor had offered him, grabbing some pancakes to eat.
“Thanks Alastor. Y’know, I never knew you could be such a gentleman.” Lucifer said, his confidence starting to reappear.
Alastor crossed his arms and looked away, not wanting Lucifer to see his helpless blush. “Just shut up and eat the flawless breakfast I made you.”
Lucifer chuckled, making more heat appear in Alastor's body. ‘God, why does this man have to be so fucking adorable?’ Alastor thought, losing hope in himself.
“Gladly.” Lucifer said, as if he took that as a challenge.
