“Yeah,” Chase hummed in pleasure, the blush still caught on his face but he tried to ignore it. He probably does this with all his clients, he’s just trying to giving me a warm welcoming party… that’s it… Chase closed his eyes anyways, a small smile still on his peaceful face as he murmured, “Nudge me when we get there…”
Lucifer wasn’t sure why he cared so much. He enjoyed the human’s company, and was incredulous as to why others didn’t.
“I will nudge you like the God I am.” He laughed softly.
Chase laughed into Lucifer’s side, feeling bold -or maybe it was just plain stupid- and nuzzling a little closer. Curse him and his stupid heart. But Chase was just so peaceful… it wasn’t even a surprise when he didn’t notice when the car came to slow.
Lucifer’s door got opened and the king looked down at Chase. He slowly lifted up his new contract, ducking out of the car and carrying him. He got a few questioning looks but otherwise he wasn’t stopped as he made his way to his room.
Chase vaguely registered being picked up, but he only curled slightly happily. He felt so warm, Chase didn’t want to move despite how he knew that this was absurd. This is all just crazy… what am I doing?
Lucifer laid down in his bed, curling up around Chase with a faint, happy sigh. This was quite nice, for being left alone for so long. It was nice to havr company.
Chase made a little sound of pleasure, happy with the warmth and softness. He felt safe, he felt loved for once. A part of him still hated himself because of it, but Chase let himself enjoy this moment- if only once.
Lucifer shut his eyes and smiled a bit. This was bliss, curled up with someone so warm. He hoped idly that Chase was enjoying it too. The little noise told him he was, though.
Chase wasn’t tired, but he found himself closing his eyes and enjoying Lucifer's arms around him. He never felt this comforted before and he never wanted this warmth in his chest to end.
Lucifer hummed softly. He didn’t feel too tired as he laid there with Chase, but it was still very wonderful to have someone to hug close.
(Oof, I realized I mistyped and said ‘was tired’ in my last post, my bad, just fixed it)
Chase rolled over a bit and softly pressed his head into Lucifer’s strong shoulder. He felt guilty, for wanting this. For loving this. “I’m sorry I’m bugging you, Lucifer,” He mumbled quietly, but couldn’t force himself to pull away.
(Lol. I wouldn’t have minded either way)
Lucifer looked down at him delicately and patted his cheek. “That’s okay, Chase. I do not mind.” He smiled a bit.
“Just because you don’t mind doesn’t mean that you like it,” Chase pointedly out despite himself- despite that flutter in his heart. Why do I have to grow so attached to people so easily? He hated that he liked Lucifer, he hated that the feeling was only his stupid hopeful desperate heart’s want.
Lucifer titled his head into Chase again. “Was that what I was suggesting? I didn’t mean it like that. I am very much enjoying this.” He hummed softly.
Chase didn’t know what to say. Those words meant so much to him, more than he could even explain. Chase wasn’t supposed to be liked. But here he was, snuggling with Lucifer.
Lucifer smiled a bit to himself, thinking over Chase’s silence.
“What is wrong, dearest human? You seem troubled.”
“Why?” Chase whispered softly, pulling back slightly so he could look Lucifer in the eyes, “I’m- I’m not- I’m not special. I am a freak, why would you enjoy- enjoy this with me? You could have anything -you’re Lucifer- so why would you enjoy being with me?”
Lucifer gazed back steadily, a smile playing his handsome lips. “But you are special. Every mortal I’ve met has their own little quirk and you have the best one I’ve seen. You are not a freak because of it. You are wonderful.”
Chase blushed heavily, his heart fluttering. “Sometimes I just wish I could be aromantic, so I can’t get crushes so easily like this. It’s stupid,” Chase confessed, trying to be indirect so he could take it back in case Lucifer didn’t like him in the slightest like that. I only met him for a day and I already and falling for him… gosh I’m stupid…
Lucifer rose his eyebrows a little. “Aromatic? Well, are you suggesting that you do not wish to like me?” He didn’t seem offended— not in the slightest— merely curious.
“I am not offended,” He clarified quickly for Chase’s sake, “but I…”
“But it’s just you don’t feel the same,” Chase assumed and finished Lucifer’s sentence, “And my stupid heart is desperate and I just don’t even know anymore.” Chase scooted away a little, “I shouldn’t like you, heck, I only knew you for a day and it’s all just stupid and- and I’m sorry.” Chase laid all his cards out on the table truthfully, the only person he was ever really honest with. Maybe it’s becuase he didn’t care anymore, whether anyone liked him or not- he was in Hell now anyways so it didn’t matter.
Lucifer cut himself off. He was going to say “I don’t understand what it is I feel towards you” but he couldn’t quite agree with Chase’s statement.
“W-well… it’s normal for a human to feel love, right?” Lucifer tried to soothe him, but he was finding it hard to piece a sentence together.
“I guess,” Chase mumbled, biting his lip, “I just wish I didn’t, then I would’ve never liked guys, then I wouldn’t be the way I am, and I would be at least somewhat normal.” Chase stared at the wall, sighing. “I guess I’m glad I told you. At least I can be honest.”
Lucifer looked up at the wall, clearing his throat softly. “You are normal. How you feel about a certain gender is not up to you.” He shrugged faintly. “You shouldn’t worry yourself so much. You have a friend, now, someone who will listen and not judge.
Chase felt a small relief at Lucifer’s words. “Thank you, Lucifer.” He told him, smiling a tiny bit. It was going to take a while for him to get used to being accepted for who he was.
