Summary
“You are staring.” It was a statement, not a question. Alastor wasn’t looking at him; his eyes seemed to be focused on his book. But he had apparently noticed Lucifer’s eyes on him.
Lucifer swallowed. He might as well jump into it. “Can I touch your ears?”
Alastor turned to actually look at him. His neck made an unsettling crack as he tilted his head. “Why?”
“Because, well, they’re cute.”
When your partner has fluffy ears, it’s tempting to find out just how soft they are.

Summary
Lucifer had managed to dig himself at least somewhat out of the pit of depression he’d been trapped in for years; he’d started to feel other feelings than dull hopelessness.
He’d even managed to catch feelings for someone.
Feelings he’d eventually managed to express, leading to a rollercoaster of trying to navigate a new relationship for the first time in thousands of years. There were surprises, smiles, miscommunication, misunderstandings, arguments, laughter, accidental cannibalism, and even if it sometime felt like it was often one step forward, two steps back ... Lucifer liked it.
That was how he now found himself with the Radio Demon in his bed.
There is an attempt to have sex. Things doesn’t quite work out.

Summary
“I – I want- want to-” The static in Alastor’s voice was loud enough to buzz in Lucifer’s ears, and that was never a good sign. Alastor kissed him again, this time finding his lips, and Lucifer could taste the alcohol.
“Wait, wait, stop. How much did you drink?”
“Oh - only a little?”
Lucifer frowned. “Alastor. Don’t lie to me.”
“I – I don’ remember.” Alastor didn’t meet Lucifer’s eyes. “I jush needed a little liquid courage.”
Alastor thought that maybe a few drinks would make all of this easier. It didn’t.

Summary
“Your wings look awful, darling.”
Lucifer stopped stretching and turned towards Alastor. “Why thank you, dear. How sweet of you to notice.”
“Just making an observation,” Alastor smiled. “You should take better care of them.”
“What? Are you offering to help?” Lucifer stared at him. “Do you know anything about wing care? At all?”
Alastor shrugged. “How hard can it be?”
Taking care of your wings is easier when you have some help.

Summary
Lucifer opened one eye. He couldn’t see much of the room; his face was buried in Alastor’s red hair. Music was playing; an improvised melody occasionally broken up by radio static. Even if Alastor snored, for lack of a better word, it was a pleasant sound.
The Radio Demon was warm and soft in Lucifer’s arms, and there was still time to sleep some more. Lucifer closed his eyes again, preparing to sink back into sleep when he realised not all of him was relaxed.
He was hard.
That realisation snapped him wide awake.
When Lucifer wakes up with a bit of a problem, Alastor offers a helping hand.

Summary
“You got excited, didn’t you?” Lucifer smiled. “Do you want help?”
Alastor shrugged. “I think I know my own body better than you do, dear. So, it’s better that I do it myself.”
“Oh?” Lucifer flicked his tongue out. “Are you sure?”
Alastor stared at him. It seemed to take a moment before he understood the implication, but when he did, he blushed. “You want to-” His eyes followed the forked tongue as Lucifer licked his lips.
Lucifer smiled. “So, do you want me to help you out?”
Alastor’s face got even redder. “No. Absolutely not.” Then he melted into shadows and was gone.
A suggestion leads to a discussion. Eventually.

Summary
Lucifer’s phone was filled with photos, but he did not have a single picture of Alastor.
When he’d tried to snap a photo of the whole gang, Alastor stepped out of frame. If he pulled up his phone to take a picture of him, the Radio Demon would disappear into shadows. When Lucifer asked if he could take a picture of him, he got a ‘no’. Again and again, because Lucifer kept asking. He didn’t get any explanation for the continuous refusals either. He knew Alastor wasn’t particularly keen on any technology from the last 90 years or so, but cameras were around before the 1930s, damn it.
Lucifer just wanted a picture, some tangible memory to pull out and look at every now and again. Was that really so much to ask for?
What could seem like a small thing, might actually be quite important.

Summary
“Short king, do ya know yer trending?”
Lucifer looked up at Angel Dust. “What?”
“I’ll take that as a ‘no’.” Angel swiped at his phone. “Yer trending, you and Smiles. It’s all over the news.”
“All over-” Lucifer’s confusion was quickly morphing into dread. “Angel, what are you talking about?”
Angel handed him the phone, and Lucifer was greeted by a stream of words and images. There were comments that seemed be either outrage or disbelief. There were links to articles with titles like Radio Demon Crawls Into The Royal Bed, and pictures of himself and Alastor, talking to each other, holding hands, curled up in bed together- “What the fuck!?”
“Yeah,” Angel said. “So, yer out of the closet now?”
When pictures revealing Lucifer and Alastor’s relationship are released to the public, it causes a media storm.

Summary
Lucifer’s phone kept making noises.
Alastor lifted his head from the pillow, turning slightly to look at his partner. Lucifer slept soundly, apparently unaware of his stupid newfangled phone misbehaving. His ears were not as sensitive as Alastor’s were.
The Radio Demon squinted at the clock on the wall; it wasn’t even six o’clock yet. He picked up the phone from the night table. Words kept popping up on the screen and then disappearing again.
QueenB: luci how could you go to ozzie’s ring and not mine!? 😫😭
Ozz: I hinted to the journalists here that they better be nice to you. No need to thank me!! <3
Mammon: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I COULD HAVE EARNED IF YOU PICKED A PLACE IN MY RING!?
The morning after their first ‘official’ date.

Summary
When they reached their room, Alastor dragged Lucifer inside and pushed him onto the bed before turning to lock the door behind them. Then he hurried over to the windows and pulled all the curtains shut. Alastor tossed his coat on the floor, kicked off his shoes and joined Lucifer on the bed, pushing him till his back was up against the headboard. Lucifer could feel his heart beating faster. Was this – did Alastor actually want to-
Then the Radio Demon flopped over, laying his head down in Lucifer’s lap. “Touch me.”
“Uh-”
Alastor grabbed one of Lucifer’s hands and pressed them against his ears. “Tở̶̢ú̵ch me, I- I ne̵e̶̊d you to- to-”
“Oh! Yes, of course.”
After a trying meeting with the other Overlords, Alastor needs to calm down.

Summary
Alastor sat up and stretched, bones creaking as they were twisted in disturbing ways. Then he swung his legs out, placing his hooves on the floor.
“No good morning kiss for me today?” Lucifer tried.
Alastor just huffed, but he didn’t get out of the bed. Lucifer reached over, and grabbed one of his antlers. “Come here, dearest.”
He pulled the Radio Demon in for a kiss, but their lips had barely met when there was a sound like a twig snapping. Alastor jerked back, eyes wide. Lucifer was about to ask what was wrong-
And then he noticed the antler he was still holding in his hand. It had broken clean off.
Lucifer learns something new about deer in general and the Radio Demon in particular.
