Whelp, another Parents Weekend had gone by, and for once, Duke hadn't had any guests arrive, surprise- or no. And for all that talking to Octavia about the disappointment of that had been meant to help him push past that feeling -- that was how this was supposed to work, right? -- he still found himself staring moodily out at the water by Sunday evening, watching the light of the sunset scatter across the swells and waves.

It was beautiful. Even after all his talk today with Linda about emotions and how little control people actually had over them, he was kind of annoyed at himself that he wasn't more in the mood to appreciate that fact, right now.

[expecting one!]

"Would you like a glass of wine with your brood?" Lucifer asked.

He meant well. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have come up from below with the bottle and two glasses already in hand.

Huh. No protest. Well, good.

Lucifer stepped up beside him smoothly to go along with the tug. "Anything particular we're brooding about tonight?" he asked, and held out a glass for Duke to take. Multitasking, and all that.

Lucifer filled his glass with a respectable measure of wine. "Ah," he said. "Your mind's back in Haven."

Well, at the moment, it was just a statement of a fact.

It was evening, there was wine, they were out on the water. Lucifer was in a rather mellow frame of mind.

"Why?" he asked, with genuine curiosity, and poured himself a glass too.

Lucifer hummed softly. "It has been, hasn't it?" he said. "Quiet. And good. And foreboding because of it."

Lucifer was trying to repress everything that had happened at home and what it would mean in the long run so hard he'd already burst out crying on Octavia about it after sex once in the past week.

"It would be nice to have that kind of certainty, wouldn't it?" Lucifer said, and heaved a big sigh. "But there's always someone 'mysterious ways'ing us somewhere."

... Oh. Well. The shaking was... something. Lucifer frowned, sliding his own arm around Duke's waist, and hugged him a bit closer.

"I don't," Lucifer said, because... well, honesty and all that. "They seem like disagreeable people who cause you very little but pain."

He gave Duke a squeeze. "But I'm not sure what that has to do with whether or not you miss them."

Date: 2021-09-26 05:55 pm (UTC)
my_own_advocate: (lucifer - kiss)
From: [personal profile] my_own_advocate
"I think you've mentioned her," Lucifer said.

He turned his head and pressed a kiss to Duke's temple. "I'm sorry your Haven-bound friends are still missing," he said, "Even if I want to slap some of them silly."

And unlike Octavia, Lucifer had never been given cause to think of Audrey as threatening to anything besides Duke's mental and physical wellbeing.

"Would that have been worse or better?" he asked.

"You did wander away from Haven's clutches for long stretches at a time since... whenever Dwight is from," Lucifer said. "Rather like me and LA, really."

"It'd be a bit weird," Lucifer allowed. "Though Miss Lopez didn't join us for another year or so after I met the Detective."

"I'm just saying she might not be the best example here," Lucifer said, taking a sip of his wine. "But point understood."
