Toys.
Chapter Two.
When Dean stops crying Lucifer lets him go gently and smiles softly at him as he asks "Are you hungry ?".
Dean nods "Yes…Lu".
"Alright then lets go raid the kitchen and see what we can find huh ?" replies Lucifer before walking to his door and unlocking it.
Dean follows him and they head downstairs to the kitchen.
"I don't want to overwhelm you so we'll leave the tour of the house until tomorrow ok. Right now we'll get you fed and maybe a nice hot bath before you get some rest" says Lucifer as they enter the kitchen. He glances back at Dean and see's the fear is back… he sighs and stops "What did I say to scare you ?" he asks.
The boy opens his mouth… closes it and looks down.
"Dean please… talk to me… what did I say that scared you ?" says Lucifer.
"Bath…" mumbles Dean.
Lucifer frowns not seeing why that would scare the boy… then it hits him and his stomach rolls again.
"Oh god… they didn't… oh those bastards" Lucifer says "When I say a nice hot bath Dean… I don't mean hot enough to hurt you… I mean a nice warm relaxing bath but you can shower if you prefer so you can control the water temperature yourself ok".
Dean looks up at Lucifer shock on his face "Showers are cold" he says.
Lucifer flinches "Not in this house… you can have a nice warm shower here Dean… for as long as you like, no time limit and no one watching you… I'll show you where everything is then leave you to it ok".
Dean nods slowly "Yes… Lu".
Lucifer smiles and moves to the fridge, opens it and takes a look at what they have to offer.
"House food is little more than slop Lu… give him some of the roast beef from last night" says Gabriel from the doorway.
Dean jumps at the voice and drops his head… he'd been watching Lucifer.
Lu turns to Gabe and smiles "Thanks Gabe… I was wondering what would be best. Gabe meet Dean".
"Hello Deano… welcome to the family" grins Gabriel as he walks over to the boy.
Dean backs up instinctively and runs into the kitchen counter. Gabriel stops and sighs "Sorry… I forget how scary new people are when you've just been sold… I'm Gabriel but you can call me Gabe".
Dean's head snaps up, his eyes wide "You're a toy ?" he asks.
Gabriel scoffs "No and neither are you any more… Lu's a nice guy, he won't force you to have sex with him or anything else for that matter… you can relax Deano… living here is awesome" he grins.
Dean just stares at Gabriel trying to work out if the older boy is being honest or simply telling him what he's been told to say. Gabriel shrugs and grins, knowing exactly what is going through the boys head… he's been there after all and remembers how untrusting he was at first so he hops up on the kitchen counter and says "While your in there… grab me a beer Lu" with a wink at Dean.
The boys jaw drops at Gabriel's nonchalance and seeming disrespect.
Lucifer grabs a beer and hands it to Gabe "Here you are" he says.
"Thanks Lu" smiles the cheeky boy as he opens it, grinning at Dean.
"So… uh would you like a sandwich or just some meat slices with some cheese to nibble on, Dean" asks Lucifer.
The boy stares at him.
"He's probably never even seen bread Lu… just throw some meat, cheese… oh and those little baby tomatoes on a plate for him" suggests Gabe as he sips his beer.
Lucifer nods "Yeah true… I forget how bad you told us the food is in those places".
"You won't ever eat slop again Dean" says Gabriel.
"Unless Gabe tries cooking again…" jokes Lucifer.
"Hey… uh how rude" fake huffs Gabriel.
Lucifer chuckles and smiles at Dean.
The boy looks from Lucifer to Gabriel, wondering why he's letting the older boy get away with so much then he remembers what Lucifer had said… Michael's boy Gabriel.
'That's why he's not being punished Lu doesn't own him' thinks Dean.
"Please no… the last disaster was quite enough for one year" adds Michael from the door way making Dean jump again.
Lucifer laughs as Gabriel pouts.
'He's in trouble now' thinks Dean as Michael walks over to his boy.
The dark haired man takes the beer bottle from Gabriel's hand, takes a swig and gives it back with a smile. Dean just stares as Gabriel opens his legs so Michael can stand between them, his hands coming up to rest on the older boys hips.
"Promise me… no more cooking" he says.
Gabriel pouts more.
"Rachel threatened to quit when she saw the state you left this kitchen in Love… and she would be very hard to replace" adds Michael.
Gabriel sighs dramatically "Oh… ok, fine no more cooking attempts".
When Michael leans in and kisses Gabriel softly before saying "Thank you, My Love", Dean gasps and stares at them.
Gabriel decides to show Dean just how free they are living here so he drapes his arms around Michael's neck and kisses him. To Dean's utter shock the older boys owner not only allows it but kisses back. When the kiss breaks Gabriel husks low "Take me to bed lover".
Michael grins and picks him up off the counter as Gabe wraps his legs around him.
"With pleasure Love" Michael husks back as he carries the boy out of the kitchen.
"Oh Gabe… any clothes you have that are too small now… can Dean have them ?" asks Lucifer before they are out the door.
"Sure thing Lu… I'll get them for him in the morning" replies Gabe as he waves and grins at Dean "Night Deano… sleep well".
Dean just nods at him still stunned by the little display.
"So that's my brother and his boyfriend… you'll get used to Gabe's sense of humour… eventually" smiles Lucifer as he puts a plate of food on the counter near Dean.
"Dig in… eat as much as you like and if you want more there is plenty ok" he adds.
Dean hesitates.
"Dean… the food is for you, I've eaten so dig in" Lucifer reassures him.
The boy bites his bottom lip not sure where he should eat… at the training house you sat on the floor with your bowl.
Lucifer sighs and comes around the counter, pulls a stool out and pats it "Sit up here and eat ok".
Dean gives the slightest hint of a smile… so grateful that his owner seemed to understand his hesitation and not get angry at him for not knowing the rules here. He gets up on the stool and looks at the plate, he picks up a little red ball and looks at Lucifer.
"Cherry tomatoes… try one if you don't like it you don't have to eat the others" says Lu.
Dean cautiously puts it in his mouth and bites down… it pops and tomato juice fills his mouth, his eyes go wide. Lucifer chuckles softly at the look on his face "Juicy little suckers aren't they" he says.
Dean nods as he chews then swallows.
"So do you like them" asks Lucifer.
Dean frowns.
"You can be honest Dean… if you don't like them say so and I won't give them to you again ok" adds Lu.
"I don't like them…" he half whispers.
Lucifer smiles and plucks one off Dean's plate and pops it in his own mouth "That's ok… I'll eat these one's then… try the meat".
Dean picks up a slice of roast beef and takes a bite… chews and moans at the taste.
"Good huh ?" grins Lu.
Dean nods rapidly as he chews.
Dean eats all the roast beef and cheese on his plate while Lucifer eats the last few tomato's before going back to fridge and getting the milk out to pore them both a big glass each.
"We have a cook, her name is Rachel and she will make you anything you want during the day or if you just want a drink or a snack you can come in here and get it yourself. Eat what you like, drink what you like… the only rule I'm going to set you is don't leave the estate grounds alone… for your own safety Dean… a good looking boy like you isn't safe out there on your own ok" says Lucifer as he puts the glass of milk before Dean.
Dean takes the glass and drinks it all in one go "Forgot how good that tastes" he says before thinking then glances up at Lu in fear.
Lucifer frowns sure he remembered Gabriel telling them that the houses only give them milk til they are three or four… and wondering how Dean even remembers the taste after eleven years.
Dean looks down quickly.
"Would you like more milk Dean ? We have plenty… I could even put some chocolate in it for you…" Lucifer offers.
Dean shakes his head as he remembers what they were taught… greedy boys are bad boys, take what's given you and never ask for more even if it is offered "No… thank you S… Lu" he says.
Lucifer sighs… 'This is going to take some patience' he thinks.
Once the boy has eaten Lucifer takes him back upstairs to his room to show him the bathroom. He shows Dean how to work the shower and the shampoo and body wash "The white one is for your hair… try not to get it in your eyes cause it stings a little when you do and the blue one is to wash your body. I'll leave a green towel on the basket there for you to dry off with just hang it over that rail there when your done… I'll be in my room waiting for you ok".
Dean nods "Yes Luc… thank you" he says softly.
"No worries… I'll have your bed made by the time your done so take as long as you want ok… enjoy the warm water" smiles Lucifer before turning and leaving Dean in the bathroom.
He goes to the spare room next to his own and flips the mattress before getting clean sheets, pillows and blankets for it. Lucifer makes the bed and leaves a second blanket half folded on the end in case Dean gets cold then goes back to his own room to wait for Dean.
When Lucifer closes the door behind him Dean exhales slowly and takes the shirt off, hangs it on the towel rail then steps into the shower, he closes the door behind him and turns the water on. He half remembers how to make the shower hot but his owner showing him before walking out had helped him relax a little more. Not much though he was still very wary of the blonde man… he couldn't help it. Anyone he had ever trusted had betrayed him or hurt him so he had become suspicious of everyone. He was waiting for the man's patience to run out and then he would be punished… he knew it and was trying hard to be good. He didn't take his time as the man had said too, he did what he had too and turned the water off. Dean got out the shower cubicle and dried himself with the towel his owner had left. When he was sure he was dry he slipped the shirt back on and hung up the towel then went to the door, stopped and swallowed hard before opening it slowly and walking back into his owners bedroom.
Lucifer smiles at him "Feel better ?" he asks softly.
The boy nods "Yes… Lu".
"Good" Lucifer gets up from where he'd been sitting on his bed "Follow me and I'll show you your room".
Dean follows him as he leaves the bedroom and walks down the hall a little to the next door, they walk in and Lucifer says "You can sleep in here tonight… if you don't like this room you can pick another one… we have a few spare" he crosses the room and flicks the bathroom light on "This is the bathroom in case you need it during the night… I left a spare blanket at the end there if one isn't enough and you get cold… um is there anything you want to ask me before I say goodnight ?".
Dean blinks at him then shakes his head a little .
"Alright then… remember I'm in the next room if you need anything. Goodnight Dean… I'll see you in the morning" adds Lucifer with a light pat to the boy's shoulder as he passed him on the way to the door.
Dean bites his bottom lip not sure if he should say anything… if he was supposed to then just before his owner shut the door he half whispers "Goodnight Lu".
Lucifer looks up at him and smiles, nods then closes the door before going to his own room.
