Sunday

Coming off the good day he'd had on Saturday and the fun of learning to play board games as part of a family, he was looking forward to whatever it was Dan had planned.

He had spent Christmas with Dan, so he wasn't too far away from what he liked to do in the privacy of his own home. He liked watching action movies, eating junk food and spending time settling down somewhere with an alcoholic beverage.

So, when Dan showed up at 6 that night and all he wanted to do was go down to the club and just relax with him at Lux, he was both surprised and yet not.

He had no idea what to think of it. But it was just like Dan to want to take his private day and use it in a club to relax. He noted that Amenadiel wasn't around too. His brother generally tended to hang around Lux a lot lately.

Which means Dan had told him not to come tonight because he wanted a night of fun with Lucifer on his own.

It made Lucifer feel all tingly and warm inside that Amenadiel would willingly go somewhere else to drown his sorrows. And that Dan would choose to decide to hang around with him at his club.

It did mean less time to mingle with the crowd, as this was Dan's time and not his, but he didn't mind.

"Sorry, man. I honestly had no idea what else to do except sit in front of the TV and watch movies," Dan stated, as they entered the club and went straight over to two free seats at the bar. The place was now beginning to let people in and wasn't that crowded yet.

He grinned widely at Dan and shook his head. "No, this is fine! If I didn't like spending time at Lux, I wouldn't have bothered starting it in the first place. This club is like my safe haven. I don't mind spending time sharing it with you."

They were sat down and situated and Patrick had a tumbler of whiskey in front of him in less than a minute. He lifted it to his lips and took a sip, closing his eyes in contentment. "So, Dan, tell the nice bartender what your poison is."

Dan looked at what was on display and on tap, before choosing the cheapest beer he sold. He would have frowned at that, if it wasn't a beer he had seen Dan drink quite a few times before. It was just a brand he liked. A few seconds later, they were both enjoying their drink and the music. The silence between them was comfortable and familiar and came from a place of knowing each other.

"You sure you're not upset about this? I seriously just like to relax on my weekends and I usually do that by enjoying a drink or two and a couple of action flicks that I enjoy."

Lucifer laughed. "Daniel! I don't mind. Lux is a place to come to relax and drink and be merry. So stop worrying over whether you're pleasing me or not and enjoy yourself! We can always go upstairs and watch some movies later if it makes you feel better."

Dan blinked and thought about that, before watching two ladies walk over to them. Lucifer's grin widened at the two ladies. "Well, hello ladies! Now what is it you desire tonight?" he asked. He wasn't going to abandon Dan at the bar, but Dan didn't seem bothered by it, eyeing up one of the ladies himself.

It hit Lucifer that Dan was now a single man and as far as he knew hadn't had sex since the divorce with Chloe...hmm, maybe he could set his flock mate up with a lovely lady for the night. They could use his spare bedroom, as he knew taking someone home with him was out of bounds with Dusty being there.

"Are you playing tonight" one asked, a lovely Asian American woman who kept grinning at him. He wondered if Dan would be terribly upset if he took her upstairs, before shaking the thought out of his head.

"Ah! No, not tonight, sorry love."

Her friend, a blonde woman with very little on that Dan had been staring at, pouted prettily at him. "Oh, boo. We couldn't make it last night."

He grinned. "Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays I do sets. Wednesdays also involve food so the kitchens get used and I play on request. Mainly soft Jazz and Blues, but I do make exceptions depending on what people want to hear."

"Sounds fun!" Blonde woman stated, before the two wandered off to go find dance partners for the night to the music of the sound system.

Dan blinked at him. "Wait, you sell food too?"

Lucifer shrugged. "This is a piano bar, Dan. Also, it used to be a boxing ring. There is a large kitchen set up out back. I didn't want it to go to waste, but the idea of setting up a restaurant didn't really settle as much as a club. So, I compromised. Wednesdays are slow for nightclubs, so I turned that night into a fine bar diner. Great food and at low prices. Why do you think the tables are all set up more for meals than just drinks? Why do you think I wave waiters? They don't just give people drinks. I put a lot of work and love into the setup of this place."

Dan grinned at him and nodded, looking around as if seeing the club for the first time. It was starting to get quite a crowd now. Almost time for the bouncers to start blocking people from entering.

"It really shows, man. This place is alive in so many ways other than crowded. It isn't the same when you're not here. Like you keep it alive."

Lucifer laughed at that, shaking his head and taking another sip of his drink, savouring the taste of whiskey. "Nah, this place would survive without me. Yes it would lose something that makes it special, because naturally I wouldn't be here, but it would go on."

"It wouldn't be as popular without you."

He nodded at that one. "Well, I will agree to that. So! Apart from drinking at the bar and chatting about me making this club what it is, what do you wish to do?"

Dan glanced at him out of the side of his eye, glanced around until he found the two women that had walked up to them earlier and grinned. "I wouldn't mind dancing with those ladies from earlier."

Lucifer grinned widely and patted Dan on the back. "That is a lovely idea. Don't think I didn't notice you eyeing our blonde friend. If you wish, you can have use of my spare room."

Dan shifted on his feet, blushed a slight red colour, before looking over at the woman he'd been ogling. "I don't know. Let's just see where the night takes us."

He nodded at that. "Oooh, that is a deal. In return, you ignore whatever you may hear come from my room."

Dan grinned at him and shook his head. "I should have known this would end in sex for you."

He raised his eyebrows at Dan and grinned wickedly. "Of course. The only thing here is, will it for you?"

Dan looked back to what he desired and shrugged, before his grin widened. "Depends on if she likes me or not."

Smacking Dan gently on the back again, he steered his human friend and flock mate towards the two women who had start dancing together. "Only one way to find out, Daniel. Let's live a little and enjoy where the night may take us."

It did turn into a night of sex for him. He only found Dan had taken him up on the deal when he and his partner exited out of the spare room the next morning when they both smelled him cooking some breakfast.

He had never seen Dan so relaxed and happy. He hoped this was a reoccurring event.

Sure, he'd take movie nights too, but for a first boy's night out for them, Lucifer thought it couldn't have gone better.
