The next morning Lucifer was making breakfast when he heard footsteps behind him. As he turned to look, Reya was walking towards him while rubbing her eye with her left hand.
"Good morning." She smiled at him. "Sorry that I cried on you yesterday and fell asleep."
"Good morning to you to, darling." Lucifer smirked, Reya had the most epic bed head and if he didn't know better, he would say she had had a wonderful evening.
"What?" Reya asked as she sat down.
"Your hair is a right mess." Lucifer placed a plate full of pancakes in front of her.
"That does not surprise me." She laughed but then she looked up slightly panicked. "Oh crap, I forgot that I was supposed to text Dan yesterday when I got home, he's going to be pissed that I worried him."
"Calm down. I called Detective Douche yesterday after I carried you to bed. And on the subject of Detective Douche, when we met you said that you were "adopted, sort of", what did you mean by that?" Lucifer asked as he sat down facing her.
"First of: Thanks for calling Dan. Second: Dans parents took me in after I got out of the hospital when I was sixteen and unofficially adopted me into the family. Dan was protective of me since the beginning but after he found out why I was staying with them he became even more protective and it sometimes borders on overprotective. And finally, third: "Detective Douche"?
"Daniel was a right douche the first time I met him and the name stuck." Lucifer said as he took a bite of his pancake.
They ate in silence for a while and then Reya said, "I don't know how I can thank you for yesterday and now for breakfast."
"It's no problem darling." Lucifer smiled. "A beautiful woman in my bed? What more can I ask for?"
"Two beautiful people in your bed?" Reya asked with a blush and a smile.
"True." Lucifer nodded.
"But seriously, thank you. I feel lighter than I have felt in years and I haven't slept so peacefully since my parents passed away." Reya placed her hand on Lucifers' and gave a slight pat.
"So what made you decide to move to LA?" Lucifer changed the subject. "Running from a ex-boyfriend?"
"Ex-girlfriend actually." Reya shrugged.
"You're a lesbian?" Lucifer asked and tried not to examine the feelings of disappointment.
"Nope." Reya said as she took a drink of water.
"Bi-sexual?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow.
"Nope. I don't do labels. What is it with people and the insistent need to label everything! To me it doesn't matter what someone looks like or what gender their physical body has, if I fall in love or something it will be the person I'm attracted to." Reya ranted. "As long as everyone in a relationship are consenting adults that's all that matters."
"Most humans don't see it that way." Lucifer said as he started to clean the table.
"Most humans are stupid." Reya declared and Lucifer gave a consenting nod.
"So…can I keep asking questions while we eat?" Reya asked after a while.
"Ask away and I'll answer to the best of my ability." Lucifer smiled then asked, "Am I allowed to ask you questions to?"
"Of course you can ask me questions too. How about we make it into to a game, like twenty questions, except we don't have a limit on how many we can ask and we trade off on who asks." Reya started to get excited.
"You mean if I ask one question then you ask one question sort of thing?" Lucifer clarified.
"Yeah, if that is okay for you?" Reya nodded.
"Sounds like a deal." Lucifer laughed. "You can start if you want."
"Okay. Hmm…did you choose LA based on the irony of the Devil living in the City of Angels?" Reya smiled with a sparkle in her mismatched eyes.
"That's one of the reasons. But also, the weather, the porn stars and Mexican food." Lucifer smirked. "What is your favorite color?"
"My favorite color? That's actually a good question." Reya thought for a bit, then after a while she said. "I have a lot of colors that I like but my favorite color is probably blue or purple."
"Probably?" Lucifer chuckled.
Reya shrugged lightly while chewing her food.
"What is the top thing on your bucket list?" Reya asked after she swallowed.
"What's a 'bucket list'" Lucifer looked a little confused.
"Oh…a bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die or over a set amount of time, for example ten years." Reya explained. "My top thing on my bucket list is, which I'm working on at the moment, moving to LA."
"I don't have a bucket list." Lucifer said uncertainty.
"That's okay, you don't need one." Reya reassured him. "But if you ever want help with making one you just let me know."
"Because I couldn't answer your last question you can ask another one." Lucifer poured coffee and alcohol in his empty cup.
"Are you sure?" At Lucifers nod she continued. "What is your favorite time period?"
"That's a complicated question." Lucifer hummed. He hadn't been on earth a lot over the years, mostly just quick jaunts and then quickly been forced back to hell.
"I guess I like the twenty-first century the most but I also liked ancient Greece and I had fun in ancient Egypt when I got to be a burning bush." Lucifer laughed.
"Wait, wait, wait…" Reya spluttered. "You where the burning bush that talked to Moses?! Did you send the plagues and stuff to?"
Lucifer didn't answer but the smirk on his face told the truth of it.
"That's freaking awesome!" Reya cheered.
"My turn to ask then." Lucifer kept smirking. "If you could choose anywhere in the world to travel to, where would you go?"
"Hawaii." Reya answered without hesitation.
"You didn't even have to think about that one." Lucifer mock groaned.
Reya laughed but before she could say anything else her phone started to ring. She smiled with a shrug at lucifer as she went to pick up.
"Hello…. Ella? How did you get my number?... Of course Dan gave it to you… No I'm not mad… I'm at Lucifer's… I needed to thank him for saving me… I gave him whiskey… No I didn't sleep with him… Because I fell asleep on his couch after we talked… You sound disappointed… Thanks, I think?... Eh, sure, shopping sounds fun, when?... Okay I'll see you there in around an hour… Bye Ella."
"Going shopping with Miss Lopez?" Lucifer chuckled.
"Yeah, apparently I need to spend time with her because we are friends." Reya looked a little confused.
"That's what you do with friends or at least that's what Dr. Linda, my therapist, tells me." Lucifer said with a head tilt.
"I've never really had friends before." Reya admitted.
"What about Daniel?" Lucifer asked confused.
"Dan is my brother, that's different." Reya shrugged.
"Well you have Miss. Lopez and if you want you…have…me?" Lucifer stuttered out hesitantly.
"You want to be my friend?" Reya asked hopefully.
"Yes, if you'll have me." Lucifer looked down so he didn't notice Reya getting up and walking over to him.
"I would love to be your friend as long as your mine." Reya hugged him. The height difference made it so her head fit perfectly under his chin as she buried her head in his shoulder.
"From now until the end of time." Lucifer promised quietly as he hesitantly hugged her back and did his best not to acknowledge the part of him that thought that friends sounded to little.
Reya went to take a shower while Lucifer cleaned up and did the dishes.
Talking to Reya was easy and that surprised Lucifer. Most of the time it took effort not to insult people or say the wrong thing that made others uncomfortable but with Reya it didn't feel like that.
Thoughts and emotions were swirling around in Lucifers head and he couldn't really make sense of it all and decided that he needed to talk to Linda, she could help him understand what was going on.
"Hey Lucifer, could I, maybe, borrow a shirt?" Reya asked from behind him. "I can go 'commando' and use the pants from yesterday and the bra is good until tonight but the shirt had tomato sauce on it and I didn't want to use it."
Lucifer turned around while drying his hands on a towel. Reya was standing there in her dark wash jeans and white bra looking embarrassed and awkward.
"Of course you can, darling." Lucifer went to get a dress shirt from his wardrobe.
"Here, try this one." He said as he got back, handing a soft looking shirt to Reya.
"This is Armani!" Reya sounded shocked.
"Yeah." Lucifer said slowly.
"I can't use this!" Reya tried to give the shirt back.
"Why not." Lucifer looked slightly offended.
"This probably costs more than my whole wardrobe put together." Reya explained.
"So…?"
"What if I get dirt on it?!" Reya fretted.
"That's what you're worried about?" Lucifer exclaimed, surprised.
"Yes!" Reya squeaked.
"Calm down, darling. If that does happen, I'll just buy a new one or something." Lucifer calmed her down. "And before you start going on about money, I have more money than I know what to do with."
"You are one of a kind, you know that." Reya smiled at him as she, finally, put the shirt on and buttoned it up.
"I had really fun today and I can't thank you enough for both the breakfast and the fun question game." Reya said as she put on her shoes.
"I also had a good time and if you want, we could…uhm…maybe…do it again, sometime?" Lucifer asked hesitantly.
"I would love too!" Reya beamed as she straightened up.
"Great!" Lucifer breathed out in relief at not being rejected.
"I left a note with my number on it on the bedside table." Reya smiled.
"Thank you for the wonderful company, darling." Lucifer smiled back.
"It is I who should thank you, Starlight." Reya kissed him on the cheek and the she left.
Lucifer stood in silent shock for a while, then he slowly brought his hand up to his cheek and a brilliant smile lit his face. Then he turned towards the kitchen to finish doing the dishes, the smile never leaving his face.
A/N: The first instalment of this series is now done.
I will keep writing about Lucifer and Reya but that will be in different parts.
I don't know when part two of the series will be up but I've already started writing it.
Until next time,
Love Nyxi.
