The Rest Is Easy, Baby.

Part One

Lucifer blinked awake, wrists, ankles, and hip tied against a VoxTech branded chair. He looked around the familiar setting of V Tower, eventually looking up to see Vox standing over him, a sickening smirk plastered onto his face.

"Well, hello, king~" Vox purred, holding Lucifer's jaw. "Miss me?" Vox slipped his free hand up Lucifer's shirt, wanting to claim his body. 

Lucifer shuddered, trying to back away. "V-Vox? What are you doing?" 

Vox's smirk faltered, his grip on Lucifer's chin tightening. "Ah-ah-ah~!" Vox cooed, pulling Lucifer closer. "You're in my house now, Lu."

Lucifer's eyes widened in fear as Vox slowly undressed him, realising what he was about to do.

"You play by MY rules."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucifer sagged against the chair, eyes tired, face stained with tears. He didn't DARE look up.

Not when he heard the doors crash open.

Not when footsteps neared him.

"Lu?" 

A soft, static-infused voice quietly mumbled Lucifer's nickname, infused with hurt. 

Only then did Lucifer look up, seeing Alastor. Alastor's heart ached seeing who had mistreated what was his. But Alastor stayed calm.

For Lucifer.

"What -- Who did this? My apple, are you alright?" Alastor whispered, hands moving slowly, letting Lucifer see what Alastor was doing. He reached for the zip-ties binding Lucifer to the chair. "May I?" When Lucifer nodded,  Alastor's shadow-tentacles formed around the bindings. Not unbinding them, simply REMOVING THEM FROM EXISTENCE, like they were never meant to be there at all. As soon as the shadows recoiled, Lucifer lunged into Alastor, wrapping his arms around Al's neck, nuzzling into the crook. A soft, shaky, breathless cry left Lucifer.

"Al.... " Lucifer whispered into Alastor, tears drenching his neck. "You're here..."

"Of course I am, my apple... Did you think I wouldn't be?" Alastor responded, holding Lucifer close. "Shall we leave this awful establishment, my dear? Get back to the hotel?"

Lucifer nodded, wrapping his legs around Alastor's waist. 

Alastor summoned a shadow-portal, teleporting him and Lucifer back to the hotel. 

"Dad?! There you are where were you?!" Charlie panicked.

"Lucifer? Sir, what happened?" Vaggi questioned.

"Uh oh! Somebody's messy!" Nifty giggled.

"Alastor? What the fuck happened to him? What did you do?!" Husk interrogated. 

Angel Dust's mouth opened, a smug remark ready - until he saw the state of Lucifer. His usual smirk faded, taking it in. He opened his mouth again, an accusation falling out.

"That ain't new, is it?" He asked.

Everyone looked up, what resembled shock written on their faces.

"I've seen this before. And this?" Angel Dust gestured to Lucifer - the way he clung to Alastor, the way he wouldn't look up. "This ain't new." 

"This has been goin' on for months."

(Hi! My name's Luci! Thanks for reading! Just wanna say sorry, but I HATE AppleStatic, so that's why Vox is the villain. Including this, you've read 458 words! Good job!)
