Toys.
Chapter Six.
Dean told Gabriel everything… and by the time he was done they sat hugging each other crying. Dean because he was finally allowed to talk about them… to morn them. Gabriel because he liked Dean and felt bad for the younger boy.
"Lu will find that bastard… you watch, he'll go to jail for what he's done to you Deano…" sniffs Gabe as he wipes his face.
Dean nods and wipes at his own tears.
There is a knock on Gabriel's door.
"Come in" calls Gabe.
Lucifer opens the door and walks in with a smile on his face… it dies quickly when he see's Dean's tear streaked face.
"Dean… what happened ? Are you ok ?" he asks as he moves to him.
"Dean was telling me about his parents Lu… he's ok" says Gabe.
Lucifer kneels beside Dean and gently rubs his arm "So you two are getting along well then huh… that's good".
Dean nods "Gabe is really nice".
Gabriel smiles happily at his new friend.
"Yeah he is and it's good that you have some one to talk too… some one who gets what you've been through. Gabe can help you a lot" says Lu.
Dean nods.
To try and lighten the mood Gabriel says "You should show Lu how well your new jeans fit Deano".
The look he gets from Dean makes him snicker.
"I'd like to see them" says Lu innocently.
Dean bites his bottom lip and gets up… turns around slowly to show Lu the jeans.
"The blue ones are a little baggy on him… but these fit perfect don't you think Lu ?" says Gabe.
Lucifer licks his lips as he stares.
Gabriel see's the look and grins.
"I told you they were to tight" mumbles Dean.
"No ! I uh… I mean no they fit perfectly… Gabe's right. Very nice… do you like them though Dean ?" says Lu.
A small smile appears on Dean's lips, he turns and nods "Yeah I do… the blue ones are too loose, I feel like their about to fall off".
Lucifer looks at Gabe "What size are they ?".
Gabriel tells him and he nods "What about shirts… did you have any Gabe ?".
"Yep… I gave Dean four that fit him really well but you'll have to take him underwear shopping" replies Gabriel.
Lucifer nods "Socks and shoes too, some jackets for when it starts getting colder, pyjama's too".
"I can sleep in the shirts you gave me Lu" says Dean softly, hoping he'll be allowed to keep them, he likes the way they smell.
"If you want too… they are yours now, I'll never fit them again" says Lu.
Dean smiles.
Gabriel rolls his eyes but grins.
He had been so scared when he was first bought… the lies the trainers told him had him convinced that his owner would use him the moment they got him to their home. That he would be punished if he resisted them in any way, if he spoke without being asked something.
Yet he had been here a whole day almost and no one had used him, hurt him or yelled at him… they were nice to him, fed him, gave him clothes and spoke to him like they did each other… like he was a person and not a toy. Dean was starting to relax… to feel safer. Starting to think Gabriel was right… he wasn't a stupid boy and knew enough to understand that his liking the way Lu's shirt smelled… liking Lu's smell meant something. He was loathe to admit it but he had never felt this safe with anyone… he liked Gabe, yes but was just a little wary of him and Michael made him nervous even though he had been nothing but kind. Lu however made him feel safe… cared for and he hadn't had that in so very long and hoped it would last. That and the tall blonde man was very good looking and he is fifteen after all.
To help Dean feel better and hopefully more at home Lucifer takes him shopping and not just for clothes, he intended to buy all sorts of things for the boy. They are in one of the larger department stores… in the game section. Dean stands staring at the TV's with the different games showing.
"So what kind of games did you play before" asks Lu.
"Nothing like these… they almost look real… but uh I liked the quest one's. You know you're a knight or wizard and you have to do all these trials and stuff to get the prize and save the kingdom…" says Dean.
Lucifer nods and grins "Oh you'll like Fable then… it's a good one".
Dean looks up at his owner "You play ?" he asks softly.
Lucifer nods "Yeah some times, I like the adventure games too… Blood omen; soul reaver has some good puzzles if you don't mind being a vampire hybrid thing".
Dean smiles happily "Could we get one we can play together ?" he asks.
"Yeah… of course we can… lets see multi player adventures…hmmm" says Lu as he looks at the shelves of games. Dean smiles and shifts ever so slightly closer to Lu. He watches as he picks up some games and turns back around.
"I've got you all three Fable games and a few we can play together… that ok for a start ?" says Lucifer.
Dean nods quickly "Yes Lu… thank you".
"Ok then… lets have a look around and see what else you need yeah ?" asks Lucifer.
Dean smiles "Ok… I think you said shoes and jackets".
Lu nods "I did but you need other stuff too… I don't work much but when I do I'm gone most of the day so you will need things to amuse you. Games, books… music, you can learn an instrument if you like… anything Dean I want you happy".
"I like music… never tried playing it though… that might be fun" replies Dean.
Lu grins more and holds out his hand… Dean only hesitates a few moments before taking it and letting Lu lead him off to look at more things. Lucifer had never enjoyed shopping more… the looks on Dean's face made him smile. Looks of wonder and amazement at how much things had changed. He forcefully pushed thoughts that Dean had seen nothing but the inside of Greenwood for five years away and had fun with the boy.
Three hours later, his feet hurting a little from walking around and for the last hour actually being dragged as Dean got more and more excited Lucifer stops and sits "I need a break… or my feet will fall off Dean" he grins.
Dean sits next to him "Ok… sorry, there's just so much to see".
Lucifer chuckles "Pace yourself dear boy… we can shop any time… I'm thinking we decide on eating out or seeing what Rachel made".
Dean bites his bottom lip and says softly "What ever she made is fine if you want to go home".
"Now now Novak… why haven't you got a collar on that toy ?" sneers Crowley as he walks up to them.
Lucifer is on his feet before the man gets close and stepping in front of Dean as he says "Stay behind me ok".
Dean nods "Yes Lu" he whispers.
