I'm about to rip my hair out.

Sorry it's so short.

812 words.

I hope to make the next chapter longer but I was a bit mentally blocked while trying to write this.

Hope you guys like it all the same.

I own nothing except the computer that I typed this up on and the bag of oreos I ate while writing.

The two of them had 'resumed activity' after they had finished their mating cycle. Apparently it was very painful if you didn't mate and Ada thought that was cruel. Then he remembered his mother having a heating pad on her abdomen and thought nothing else of it.

"You know, his ego isn't any bigger than yours. You two, your-dad-forbid-it, do have things in common. You're siblings, it happens." Adam said

Lucifer snapped his fingers and now Adam couldn't talk, "Isn't he more endearing this way?"

"Give him his voice back, brother." Michael sighed

"It's so much…fine. Don't look at me like that." He sighed, annoyed as he snapped his fingers again.

"You son of a-" "No, nope…I can't do it. My patience is running thin with him, Michael." He said as he snapped his fingers again.

"He hasn't done anything wrong." The older brother said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"He's trying to get us to kiss and make up and I refuse to bend over and kiss your ass."

"I'm not asking you to and neither is he but…but maybe it's time we…" Michael swallowed and looked away.

"We what? We go back to being brothers? Yeah, sorry. It doesn't work that way. You kind of threw being my big brother away when you locked me here the first time."

"I didn't want to!" Michael nearly shouted.

This actually startled Lucifer and made Adam quiver. Michael hadn't really raised his voice like that since they had been trapped in the cage together.

"Then why? Because you're a good son? How about being my brother instead of his son, did you ever think about doing that? No, because you needed daddy's approval. Well guess what? I'm here and God isn't!" Lucifer replied, more wounded than loudly.

Michael just stared at him for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I never wanted to be forced into picking side. You couldn't leave it alone! You were jealous and angry because all the attention wasn't on you anymore, because you had to sacrifice some of your humility and pride for the humans. I know they are flawed, I know they make mistakes; I know they have messed up the earth, and that they are vile creatures! But do you think that if I had an honest choice, I would not have chosen you? You're my brother and I raised you. I took care of you in ways nobody could understand. I think we can call it even." Michael said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"So raising me was like hell, hm? Is that what you think?"

"Lucifer."

"Don't 'Lucifer' me. I'm done with you and I wish I would've killed you when I had the chance but I couldn't."

"Why? That's what we're supposed to do. We are supposed to fight."

"But you're my brother!" Lucifer shouted.

Adam sat there in silence, his inability to talk leaving him no choice. He couldn't even think of anything he would want to say at this point, anyways. Although he was a little pissed off that he was forgotten. Again. What was it about older brothers and their quarreling that made them forget Adam? Or was Adam the ditchable prom date? He didn't want to think about that.

"It is so much more than the humans. You made your choice; you cast me down without batting one of your many eyes. I swore loyalty to you and you betrayed me, degraded me. I wanted to be just like you…so perfect, so important…is that such a crime that I had to be punished this way?" Lucifer asked as he punched the side of the cage.

The crack was large but it went away quickly.

"You were the most beautiful of us all. You were flawless, just as I had wanted you to be. I wanted to give you everything but I couldn't because I never had a choice."

"Oh boo-hoo. Take it out on your lover…I'm finished listening to you." Lucifer said as he snapped his fingers, Adam getting his voice back.

He still stayed silent as the brothers took to opposite sides of the cage because what could you say after that?

Nothing.
