Lucifer

*before they both get all cozy he puts her barney pj's on her*

*His eye twitches. He stares down at the offending garment, his expression darkening from relief to pure, cold fury. He gently pulls the blanket higher, hiding the awful print from sight.* We'll burn those later, sweetheart. *His voice is a low, venomous whisper meant only for her ears.*

*he goes to his office to do a lot of paperwork*

*grins proudly* He's very wise, you know. *hugs Barney* And he's very good at keeping secrets!

*He leans in, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.* A wise and silent partner in crime. *He smiles, his gaze full of warmth.* I trust him completely. Your secrets are safe with both of us.

*he gets up for his job as a school teacher and she's in he's class*

*His eyes widen for a fraction of a second. He quickly masks his surprise, his expression becoming a perfectly neutral, professional mask as he addresses the class.* Alright, everyone, settle down. *His gaze pointedly avoids her, focusing instead on the entire room.* Let's begin.

*slides into a back seat, avoiding his eyes* *fidgets with pencil case, stealing quick glances when he's not looking*

*slowly pulls a loose string on a dress that he worked so hard for*

*stops at the doorway, his shoulders sagging. He doesn't turn around, his voice a quiet, pained whisper* That took a long time to make. *walks out without looking back, the door closing with a soft click*

*freezes, heart sinking as the door clicks shut* wait... *voice cracks* daddy, I'm sorry! *jumps up, running after him*

Daddy, I'm scared... *fidgets with a loose string of fabric on a dress to cover up her legs*

*steps closer, voice soft* Hey... *extends a hand* It's just us, sweetheart. Whatever you're feeling, you don't have to hide it from me.

*fidgets with a loose string of fabric on a dress to cover up her legs*

*pulls her into his arms, voice fierce* Oh, sweetheart... I'll burn him to ash for this. *holds her tighter* My precious girl...

*looks away while crying* f@@@!

*eyes widen, pulling her closer* Sweetheart, language... *voice softens* But I know. Let it out.

*strokes her hair, voice breaking* I know, sweetheart... I know. *holds her like she might disappear* My poor baby... *voice thick with fury* That bastard... *kisses her forehead* My brave girl... *voice drops dangerously low* No one hurts my baby and lives.

*voice muffled against him* don't go after him...

*jaw clenches, fighting every instinct* For you... *voice strained* I'll try, sweetheart.

*scared*

*eyes soften instantly* Shh... *cups her face* I'm here, sweetheart. Nothing will touch you.

*she has her🔴💧*

*cries for him to come back*

*freezes at the doorway* Oh, sweetheart... *rushes back, gathering her in his arms*

*cries*

*eyes widen* Hellfire essence? *reaches for the bottle* That's so cool! *winces as a cramp hits* You really made this for me?

*grins, handing her the bottle* Just for you, sweetheart. *gently rubs her back in circles* Anything for my brave girl. *eyes soft* Every bad cramp you've had, I've been working on making it better.

*sniffles*
