I'm glad you enjoyed it Samuel.
Lucifer smiled up at his brother. Bested again by him. "What are you smiling at?" Michael asked grinning. He offered his hand to help his brother up. Lucifer grabbed it and hauled himself up. They laughed as they dropped their bloody angel blades and turned to their father. Chuck was frowning at them so their laughter died.
"Lucifer what did I tell you about cheating?" Chuck asked.
"Not to." Lucifer responded with a sigh.
"Dad? Can we go play in your work room?" Michael asked.
"Not now Mike!" Chuck snapped at him. "You cheated again Lucifer!" Chuck yelled.
"Leave me alone! I lost anyway!" Lucifer snapped back before running off. Michael sighed and shook his head. The two never got along.
"Can I play in your work room now dad?" He pressed.
"Lucy?" Gabriel asked.
"Go away Gabe." Lucifer snapped.
"I want to help. I want to make you feel better." Gabriel insisted.
"Why?" Lucifer snapped at him. "I treat you like shit and you're still here? Still being nice?" Lucifer turned to him. He rubbed his eyes with his palms, trying to wipe away the tears. He only got half tears; the rest was blood from his sparring session with Michael. He wasn't crying, at least not that he would ever admit.
"Because you're my big brother. And family takes care of each other." Gabriel offered in a small voice.
"Since when have we ever taken care of each other?" Lucifer asked.
"I care about you. And Michael does too." Gabriel said.
"I'm fine Gabe." Lucifer said.
"No you're not but I know what'll make you feel better. Gabe said as he pulled something out from behind his back. "I snuck into dad's work room when he was watching you and Michael spar. I know I'm not supposed to but he never pays any attention to me so I figured he'd probably never notice." Gabriel said holding up the odd looking creature.
"What is it?" Lucifer asked studying the creature. It had two pairs of fins, a long neck, and tail and a small head.
"It's a Loch Ness. I call her Nessy. I put her in Scotland." Gabriel said proudly as he pushed the slimy thing into Lucifer's hands.
"That's great Gabe. Whatsit do?" Lucifer asked holding it up. He turned it this way and that looking for something redeemable.
"It doesn't do much. Just likes to float around in the water." Gabriel said as he took 'Nessy' back.
"Oh...ok." Lucifer said as he stood up. Gabriel grinned.
"You're not crying anymore." Gabriel cheered.
"Let him keep it dad." Lucifer said. Gabriel's face fell as he simply stared wide eyed at Lucifer. Lucifer was looking at Chuck who was standing in the doorway.
"Michael's waiting for you in my workshop Lucifer." Chuck said.
"Just let him keep it dad. He loves the stupid thing. Just let him keep it!" Lucifer shouted as he put his arms protectively around his brother.
"Go Lucifer." Chuck sighed. The small angel stomped out of the room and slammed the door hard enough to cause an earthquake. Little did Chuck know, he was standing right outside listening.
"What'd you call it?" Chuck asked gently.
"Nessy. She's a Loch Ness." Gabriel said timidly.
"And where'd you put her?" Chuck asked.
"Scotland." Gabriel responded.
"And how did you get into my workshop?" Chuck pressed. Lucifer heard Gabriel fidget. "How Gabe?"
"I know you said not to but I was bored." Gabriel whined.
"You can keep it but next time you get bored spar with one of your brothers or something." Chuck said gently.
"Yay! Thank you dad." Gabriel cheered. Lucifer smiled and sauntered off to find Michael in the workshop.
