Hey guys! Welcome to the fourteenth installment of my 'Under the Mistletoe Series Part Two'
What is this series? Well, around this time six years I got the song 'Holly Jolly Christmas' stuck in my head and wrote eleven drabbles based on kissing underneath mistletoe, and each one was for a different ship. This year I decided to do a Part Two and really challenge myself by writing something for each day from 1st-25th December. So twenty five ships, all kissing under mistletoe, like my own personal advent calendar as it were. Each one can be read alone. I know that not everyone is going to want to read every fic in the series, but I hope that you find them all enjoyable regardless, I know I certainly had fun writing them.
I came across this pairing in an AU many years ago and fell in love with their dynamic. It's obviously not a major ship, but it certainly has a place in my heart. I hope you like them too ^_^
Enjoy, much love xox

The night was young, the beat was pumping, and there was plenty of eye candy walking through the doors of the nightclub. Yep; Lu loved his job.
Lu was short for Lucifer. Yes his parents are loony, no he doesn't want to change his name, yes some people are put off by it, and no he does not care what those people think.
Lu worked the bar at a nightclub called 'The Cage.' It was usually the place to go for people who were into stuff that was a little more than vanilla. Once a month they had 'Vanilla Night' to draw in more customers, new regulars, and to demonstrate that it wasn't a scary, taboo club to go to.
Being that it was December, of course the theme for the month was Christmas. Every second person wore a skimpy santa, elf, or angel outfit, although Lu did see one guy dressed as a Christmas tree with tinsel and all. He'd refrained from making a joke about climbing the man, barely.
Lu had been serving two ladies dressed as angels at one end of the bar when he noticed an actual angel sit down a few stools away. The man was a little older than Lu with short blonde hair, and sported just a plain grey v-neck shirt pulled tight over the man's firm chest. He had an air of confidence that attracted the bartender immediately.
Another man had been waiting longer, so Lu had to serve him first, and then remake his drink as he'd been too busy glancing at the blonde waiting patiently on his stool. Finally Lu was able to slide over and take the man's drink order.
He ordered his cocktail with a grin, and a British accent. If Lu hadn't been infatuated already then he was now; he loved accents.
Unfortunately, Lu didn't have much time to speak with the man more as business picked up and the Brit drank his cocktail, soon he was pushing away from the bar and heading for the dance floor. Lu watched him, especially his ass in those tight skinny jeans, until he disappeared into the throng of people and someone was clicking in front of his face to gain his attention.
Every so often Lu would look out into the sea of moving bodies and try to pick out his British angel, but to no avail. Until suddenly, Lu turned around from serving customers at the other end of the bar and he was back at the counter sitting on the same stool as before. There was a weight to his gaze as his eyes followed Lu while the bartender went back and forth making cocktails and pouring beers.
Lu wasn't fazed by the eyes on him; he was used to people staring whether it was at his tattoos, piercings, clothes, all three or something else entirely. The attention certainly wasn't unwelcomed either.
Benny had started his shift not long before and Lu was glad to have the extra set of hands as the club was fairly busy that night, but it also allowed him to get in some small talk with the British man.
Balthazar, who looked directly into Lu's eyes as he spoke, was actually French despite his accent, and fairly new in town. Apparently, the club had been recommended by a co-worker.
"What do you think so far? Reckon you might come back?" Lu asked as he shook a drink mixer expertly.
Balthazar smirked and dragged his eyes over Lu as he spoke, "I dunno love, will you be here if I come back?"
Lu caught his breath at the way the other man was looking at him, "I'm here Wednesday to Sunday, every week," he winked and poured the drink, handing it over to the customer it was for.
"Then I'll be back, it's not often you meet someone who can make a bloody good cocktail and is even better on the eyes," Balthazar informed him; the man knew how to use his accent to make his voice even sexier.
It was obvious that Balthazar was flirting with him, so Lu flirted back, "Drinks aren't the only thing I'm good at either," he insinuated, and wondered if Balthazar would come home with him if he played his cards right.
"Oh? I'd very much like to find out what these things are…when do you get a break?"
Balthazar was straightforward, he knew what he wanted, and it was obvious that he wanted Lu, which was good, because Lu wanted him too, "As soon as it dies down a bit," he promised.
The anticipation, just thinking about those slim fingers grasping him, and those luscious lips pressed to his own, was enough to get things stirring below the bench. Once Lu deemed it quiet enough, he told Benny that he was going for his ten minute break.
"Come with me," Lu commanded as he walked out from behind the bar and past Balthazar.
The Brit followed him immediately, weaving through the crowd. Lu led him to the storage room at the back of the building. He entered in the code for the door and pulled Balthazar through.
There was no talking, immediately strong hands gripped Lu's hips, and warm lips crushed against his own. Balthazar's mouth tasted of vodka, gin and pineapple juice; a good combination in Lu's opinion.
The storage room was large but overcrowded, and they ended up knocking into a set of shelves, which Balthazar held Lu against and pressed his body flush to the bartender's. Lu moaned, and then louder as Balthazar began to rock against him, and he realised that he wasn't the only one with a hard on in his pants.
Their actions were frantic with desperation to finish before Lu's break was over, it made the shelving rattle, causing excess Christmas decorations to spill down from the top shelf. Tinsel, fairy lights, holly and mistletoe hung overhead, but neither of them noticed or cared at that moment in time.
Embarrassingly, Lu realised he was already getting close, though judging by the breathy grunts Balthazar was making between feverish kisses, he'd have said that the other man wasn't far off either. That was when the door opened and Eve, another staff member, interrupted them.
Lu pushed Balthazar off him enough so that they weren't touching, "What the hell Eve? I'm on break!"
"I know, sorry Lu, Benny's getting slammed again, we need you back out here," she only looked a little apologetic as she glanced both men up and down and then left.
"Fuck," Lu cursed, his erection throbbed as he looked to Balthazar, who's hair was askew and lips swollen, "sorry, I gotta get back…uh…"
"I understand," his eyes dragged over Lu's body, causing the bartender to shudder, "I would love to continue this later, when do you finish?"
"One thirty," Lu informed him while he fixed his clothes and went to the door.
"I'll see you then."
"I can't wait," Lu chucked over his shoulder with a grin and then got back to work, counting down the minutes until the end of his shift.
