Chapter 8:

Jason had refused medical attention when the medics arrived minutes later, Lucifer placed his hand on Jason's shoulder, he was all about free will. "Come on let these people do there work," Lucifer said as gently as the devil could.

Jason looked up to him while he wiped his tears away, "Do you think that he will make it?" not really thinking about who he was talking too.

"Tommy is a fighter. You are Jason right?" The devil asked curiously while leading him outside, "We first need your statement and after that, I will drive you to the hospital myself." Lucifer said.

Jason nodded, he knew that the LAPD needed to do their work, "Yes, my name is Jason. I know first hand that Tommy is stubborn and a fighter. You… you know him?"

"I am sorry where are my manners, I am Lucifer Morningstar. Tommy would be starting to work for me this evening as a bouncer for my club Lux." The devil smiled charmingly.

"He told me a strange story about praying before he went out." Jason tried to hide that he was used to strange things.

"He was telling the truth, how do you think I found you guys?" Lucifer smirked while his boyfriend tapped him on the shoulder that the officers of missing persons were waiting for his statement. The devil smiled sweetly at him and nodded, "It seems that the missing person department needs to talk to you, I will wait for you with my boyfriend to drive you to the hospital."

"Thank you, Mr. Morningstar," Jason said still in disbelief that it was over. They were free. He hoped that they wouldn't be too late for Tommy.

Lucifer walked towards the police car where Dan was waiting for him, leaning against the hood of the car. They never talked about keeping their relationship a secret but Daniel wasn't planning on doing it because the male detective opened his arms to let Lucifer walk into his embrace. He knew that his devil had grown fond of his new bouncer.

Lucifer placed his forehead against his boyfriends' before he sank and placed his head on detective Espinosa's shoulder. Daniel smiled sadly caressing his boyfriend's hair. This wasn't his devil's usual behavior, "He will make it, babe." Dan whispered against Lucifer's neck before he placed a small kiss on his neck.

"I hope that I didn't fail him," Lucifer whispered sadly.

"Don't say that, star. You are the one who gave him a chance of survival. If he makes it it's thanks to you." Dan whispered back in an attempt to comfort him.

Lucifer sighed deeply before showing his brave face again, the face that was typical for Lucifer, he took his place beside Dan, taking the male detectives hand in his while intertwining his finger's with Dan's who looked up at his tall boyfriend and smiled, "I guess the secret is out now about us."

"I wasn't planning to hide my happiness with you." Lucifer smiled, "Everybody can know that the devil found his love."

They both had given their statements as truthful as possible, Dan was lucky that Lucifer's reputation for speaking into 'metaphors' was widespread in the different departments or he could visit Lucifer in the mental hospital for being honest of who or what he was.

"There he is," Lucifer said looking in the direction of the broad-shouldered, black-haired man who was walking towards them.

"I think you should go to the hospital for yourself too. I know you are worried about Tommy but I still don't think that it was a good idea for not going with the medics. You have lots of bruises." Dan said towards the young man.

"I will be fine, Mr…?" Jason said.

"Oh, this is Detective Daniel Espinosa, one of the best detectives of homicide, and my boyfriend will be going with us to the hospital." Lucifer jumped in eager to introduce the man as his love.

"You can call me Dan, everyone does except Lucifer." Dan smiled reaching out his hand, Jason took his hand weakly.

"I think you are right, Dan. You know medics are usually the hardest patients of all." Jason laughed, "I am Jason by the way."

"Those and devils." Dan quipped knowing how stubborn his boyfriend could be when he used to be hurt when saving Chloe yet again. It was strange but since Lucifer started his relationship with Daniel, he was back his immortal self. It seemed that he made himself vulnerable in Chloe's present when he was in love with her.

"Hello, there is only one me," Lucifer said faking to be offended.

"Thank God," Daniel quipped.

"Well I guess you can indeed thank Him, He is the one who threw me into Hell," Lucifer said seriously before stepping into the car. Daniel laughed taking his place behind the wheels. Jason took place in the back of the car.

"So Tommy didn't lie, you really are the actual devil?" Jason asked curiously.

Lucifer smirked, "Yes, I am."

"Shouldn't you be immortal? I sorry I heard what your boyfriend said." Jason asked confused.

"For earthly weapons, yes and I am again but there was a time when I wasn't in certain circumstances, but that's a long story," Lucifer said not smiling anymore. He had forgiven his working partner for her betrayal, for using his feelings against him but that didn't mean that he had forgotten. The feeling still hurt and made him insecure about Dan's feelings for him.

"Aren't you supposed to be afraid if you believe me?" Lucifer asked confused.

Jason shook his head, "Let's say that I have seen real monsters, enough to fill me a lifetime so you don't scare me. I trust Tommy's instinct and he told me not to be afraid." Jason explained without giving away their past. Lucifer didn't ask further Jason wasn't a criminal who was hiding some dark past. Tommy, on the other hand, was another story, his heart and soul were pure but he still couldn't help feeling certain darkness in him, a pang of certain guilt. He wanted the young man but he didn't use his mojo on random people, not anymore.

Jason was waiting in the waiting area of emergencies with Dan by his side, he saw that the detective was happy with his immortal boyfriend.

"How is it to know that everyone thinks your boyfriend is crazy or if they believe, him evil?" Jason suddenly asked.

Dan sighed, "We are used to people thinking he is crazy or as most people think is that he hides his past behind the devil persona. I wasn't afraid not even after seeing his other face which is hideous to look at but his appearance doesn't say what he is like. He may have made mistakes in the past but he never felt loved. He usually uses the face the break criminals, with a few exceptions down the road but they have accepted him after they had time to think about it. For most people, Lucifer is just an eccentric club owner who helps the LAPD."

"But he can be trusted? It's not that I don't believe Tommy but I don't know how they met or what made him trust Lucifer." Jason sighed.

"I don't know if it's my task to tell that story, I think you should ask Tommy when he wakes up. It's not much to worry about. Nothing illegal." Dan said as vaguely as possible, "All I can say is that there was an incident outside Lux, Lucifer's nightclub which brought them together and they became good friends in this short time."

"I understand thank you." Jason smiled before someone called his name it was time to get a check-up. Being a former ranger made them wary about testing blood, they didn't know how much was still visible in the blood.

Dan waited in the waiting area, he wasn't going to leave Jason on his own now. He was busy chatting with his boyfriend, who like could be expected had talked himself into Tommy's room. He didn't want to leave the room until Jason had the chance of visiting him.

A half an hour back Lucifer arrived at intensive care. He wasn't family of Tommy but that wasn't going to stop him.

He leaned against the desk, "Darling, could you bring me to Tommy Oliver's room?" Lucifer asked with his most charming smile.

"Are you family of the patient?" The nurse asked a bit shyly.

"Not by blood, but I am a friend who doesn't want him to wake up alone. I want to be with him until his boyfriend can sit with him. Please, darling, I know you want to let me in." Lucifer said flirting with the younger woman.

The nurse was lost by the magnetic powers of Lucifer, she smiled shyly and nodded, thank you, darling. Please there will be two other men on there way soon. Jason Lee Scott and detective Daniel Espinosa, be a sweetheart and let them with Tommy." Lucifer didn't stop with flirting.

"I… I can't do that." The woman couldn't keep his eyes off him. She was lost in those beautiful brown eyes and his handsome smile.

"Please, as a thank you, I will give you this, darling. That way you don't need to wait in line to enter my club Lux. For you and four friends." Lucifer smiled he knew, he would get his way.

"Alright, I will make an exception for you and the two gentlemen." The nurse smiled melting by the looks of him. He took the woman's hand and gave it a quick kiss, "Thank you beautiful." He said smiled.

"Patrick, lead this nice man to Tommy Oliver's room." The nurse said towards a slim man with red curly hair.

The man nodded, Lucifer winked before he followed the man. He felt his phone buzzing it was a text of his boyfriend.

'Hi star, they just came and took Jason away to examine him. How is Tommy?'

Lucifer waited until he was in Tommy's room and alone to answer him.

'I just arrived in Tommy's room, he still out. I had to flirt my way inside but I managed to give you free pass too. I didn't do anything wrong if you are worried about it, baby.' Lucifer answered.

'I know you, my sweet star. I don't want to change you completely, as long as your body, heart, and soul is mine and mine alone.' Dan replied.

'My detective being possessive. Lucifer likes." He had just sent the answer to his boyfriend when he heard a little groan.

Tommy's eyes opened slowly looking around him in confusion, "What happened? Where am I?"

"You are safe now, Tommy," Lucifer said now standing next to his bed.

Tommy smiled with hearing that familiar voice of his new friend. It was only then that he noticed that it was only Lucifer who was in the room with him. His face became pale, "Jason?"
