The Cape Rouge, Monday Evening

Sunday had been Date Night for Lucifer and Octavia, as always. On Monday, Lucifer had gotten it into his head he wanted to do something for Duke. 'Something' had turned out to be a nice home-cooked meal and some time out on the water.

And while Lucifer had contemplated taking the show to his house, as he did with Octavia-- something within him had craved... well, this.

The gentle sway of the water beneath the boat - permanent background radiation now of his life - lulling him into an easy calm as he flopped over onto his back on the bed, still catching his breath. "I can't believe how much I like this bed," he mumbled, inanely.

He'd make sense of it in a moment.

[[ for him ]]

“Yeah?” Duke smiled broadly, and ducked his head to kiss Lucifer’s chest. “It definitely seemed like a — perfect future.”
betterthanaplan: (it was a good day)

"Of course I was." Duke's smile went a little doofy. "I was living the dream. Two fabulously beautiful partners, living in a fabulously beautiful place, free to roam the world at a whim. . . . Honestly, it's more than I ever really dared to hope for."
betterthanaplan: (thoughtful)

“Well . . . sure.” Duke rested his chin on Lucifer’s shoulder. “I mean, we pretty much have proof, right? I’m not dumb enough to think it’s a guarantee, but. . . .”

He trailed off, frowning faintly.

“Why? Don’t you think it is?”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

Duke relaxed — and the realization that the future had been perfect for him and maybe not his partners was postponed once again.

“She was amazing, wasn’t she. So . . . settled into her own skin.”
betterthanaplan: (shiny hair and concern)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . That sounded fairly unperfect actually.

“God,” Duke said softly. “I really want to give that to her.”
betterthanaplan: (Boy smooches)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
“Nah,” Duke said, and pushed himself up to kiss Lucifer properly. “Not by myself.”
betterthanaplan: (just bros)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
“Yes,” Duke said firmly. “I’m taking it takes both of us to make her the best Tavi she can be.”
betterthanaplan: (shiny hair and concern)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
“Yeah?”

Duke knew it was true, but he still liked to hear it.
betterthanaplan: (mmhm)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke chuckled and buried his face in Lucifer’s shoulder again. “Good. I, uh. Might still be worried you’ll get tired of me.”
betterthanaplan: (shiny hair and concern)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
“I know,” Duke assured him. “I’m — I usually know. Linda would probably say something about learning how to trust.”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke pressed his face harder into Lucifer's skin, then kissed it to cover.

"I don't know how," he said. "But -- I'm really glad."
betterthanaplan: (light from above)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2022-08-16 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke squeezed his eyes shut as they started to burn. He did. He did.

He tried to, anyway.

"I love you so much."
