Dinner With Lucifer

[thequitecontrary]

It takes a while for the two of them to get back to normal, or to what passes for normal between a mortal and the Devil. It's a long road in his healing from the battle with Cain, and there have been fits and starts. It has taken Mary this long to realize that despite the fact that Lucifer has lived among humans for a while, he still does not know a lot about how to show or respond to emotions. Mary is perhaps not the best person to teach him, because she has often been described as cold, but her love for Lucifer makes it easy to be warm in his presence. She wants him to realize that it's alright to love someone and to accept love in return.

After a lovely dinner out, they return to his flat, which has thankfully been restored to its former glory. It's still too garish for Mary's taste, but at least the furniture is in one piece again. As she goes to pour them each a glass of whiskey, he sits down at the piano and picks at a few of the keys. Mary places the glasses on top of the piano and sits next to him on the bench.

"If you play something I know, perhaps you can twist my arm and I'll sing along," she says, a devious look on her face.
