I set tea down in front of Luci, who didn't want to lay back down but didn't wanna tell me what happened.Obviously a nightmare, but I can only make guesses on what.

"Thank you." He mumbles.

"Of course, my love." I lean against the counter.

There's silence for awhile.

"Al.."

"Yes, baby?"

His eyes remain down, unfocused."I love you."

Truly he is the only man I will ever be able to say I love."I love you too."

"Promise?"

"Lucifer, I promise you and can assure you entirely that I am not going anywhere, I am yours to break and rebuild as you please."

"..I like you the way you are." He rest his head on the counter.

That not enough?Fine.

"I am yours for eternity, and you are mine. You own my heart and soul forever and it is irreversible. Seriously undeniably enamored. I am devoted to being absolutely everything you want and need out of me. Desperately in love with everything that makes you, you."

He looks into my eyes finally. "I-"

The doors to the kitchen creak, a certain former queen stepping in.

"Oh-. I apologize, I uhm- came down for tea."

"I have made some." I say, giving her the invitation solely because he clearly isn't ready to talk yet.

"She doesn't drink tea like this."

"What- what's wrong with my tea-?"

"Nothing. She just..drinks it like they do in england. This is southern sweet tea.." he explains.

"Oh. Yeah I don't drink that stuff.."

She walks toward the kettle to make her own tea.

"Love, if you don't prefer drinking it like that, tell me and I'll make you some you like."

"I do like this." He looks at me. "I don't drink tea often it really doesn't matter."

I suppose he's correct. Prefers his apple juice.

"So, what are you both doing up so late?"Lilith asks.

I look at Luci because I have no excuse whatsoever.

"Just couldn't sleep."

"Yes...he was tossing and turning so much I couldn't either."

She hums. "Luci dear, I lived with you for hundreds of years.. I can tell you're lying."

See I call everyone dear, but when the word comes out of her mouth toward my husband I just wanna ring her neck.

"I just couldn't sleep, that's it. Drop it." He mumbles.

She sighs, looking at me.

I shrug.

"I'll leave you to it then." She pours some sugar into her tea. "I hope you feel better."

She takes her leaves.

"I don't know whether I hate her or not."

"Me neither." He lays his head on the counter.

"Do you wanna try to go back to bed..?"

"No.."

"Talk about it..?"

He stays quiet.

"Okay." He mumbles, sitting up. "Not here."

Kitchens to public of a spot in the hotel.Of course.

"Lead the way, love."

He gets up, slowly walking to my office.I take his hand, which I don't usually like to do but right now is an exception.

He links his fingers with mine as we walk.

He stops.

"What about adam and lute.."

Shit.

Forgot about them.

"Come on." I pull him with me to a empty room Charlottes been talking about turning into a gym.

I close the door behind him, watching him pick a wall to stand against.

"I uhm- had a nightmare."

"Mhm."

"I used to have them all the time..not since I moved here though. And uhm-..it's stupid.."

"Tell me about it." I walk closer, cupping his face.

"You just-..vanished..and then so did everyone else..and then adam and lute were gone too..and I just-..." he stops.

"It remind you of heaven?"

He swallows, nodding. "Yeah."

"Well, no need to be so worked up, yeah? I mean, you kind of rock. Everyone here minus a select few love you."

"That doesn't matter. So did my brothers. But father will do whatever the hell he wants. They can't do a thing about it." He looks down.

"They could've." I argue. "That's the thing. If they loved you, they'd stand by your side. Not at your back."

"Al you don't get it.."

"If he showed up right now trying to do anything to you he'd have to erase my existence first."

His gaze meets mine again."You don't mean that."

"I do. Lucifer I would go up against him myself before I let him lay so much as a finger on you."

"You're such an idiot.."

"Anything for you."
