Toys.
Chapter Eight.
After their run in with Crowley, Lucifer decided to hold off on more shopping for a week or so. He did not want to rush Dean and hated that he had been having such a good time only to have it tainted. He had found out everything Dean could still remember about where he was from and his last name and given the information to Michael who had a PI look into it. So until they heard back from him all Lucifer could do was help Dean settle in. He spent time with him, let him spend time with Gabriel or alone if he wanted and just generally did everything he could think of to make Dean happy. He also wanted Dean to feel safe here at home and was working on getting him to feel more comfortable sleeping in his own room… three of the five nights Dean had been here he had ended up in Lu's bed. Not that Lucifer minded… but it was getting more difficult to hide his arousal at waking up with the boy snuggled up to him… Dean smelled so good. So on the sixth night Lu lay in bed with Dean in his room until he fell asleep then very gently and quietly slipped out of Dean's bed and went to his own.
Just like the first night he woken by a scream and bolts out of bed and into Dean's room to find the boy sitting up in his bed, shaking and crying. He rushes to his side and crawls on the bed "Dean… it's ok I'm here" he pulls the boy into his arms and holds him "I've got you… it's ok" he assures him.
Dean sobs "He was coming for me… and you weren't there".
Lucifer cringes and feels like such an idiot… no wonder Dean ended up in his bed so often if was still having nightmares.
"Oh Dean I'm so sorry… your safe here I promise and he won't ever touch you again, I'd kill him before he got anywhere near you" swears Lu.
Dean clings to him, sniffling and nodding "Ok" he whispers.
Lucifer strokes the boy's back slowly as he holds him "I'll stay with you… I'm sorry I left".
"Don't like sleeping alone" mumbles Dean.
'Neither do I' thinks Lucifer "Ok… I uh…".
Dean pulls back a little and looks up at Lu "I'm sorry for being so much trouble Lu".
"No… Dean your not… it's me…" he exhales deeply "I don't mind having you in my bed I just didn't want to scare you" replies Lucifer.
"Scare me how" asks Dean looking confused.
Lucifer frowns as he realizes there really is no delicate way to put it without sounding patronizing.
"I usually wake up hard… I didn't want you thinking I was going to force you… ok" he admits as he blushes deeply.
"Oh…OH…" Dean blushes too and looks away.
"Sorry I have no control over it…" says Lu.
"Do all guys wake up like that ?" asks Dean softly.
Lucifer nods "Most of us".
Dean bites his bottom lip.
"Same problem huh ?" Lu tries to lighten the mood.
Dean nods solemnly "But only when I have certain dreams…".
"What can I say… the penis has a mind of it's own" Lu chuckles.
Dean giggles a little.
"Lets get back into bed huh ?" suggest Lucifer.
Dean nods and lifts the blanket for Lu to slide in then snuggles close when the older man is comfortable.
"I won't be scared Lu… I know you won't hurt me" mumbles Dean as he drifts off to sleep, his face buried in Lu's shoulder.
Lucifer smiles and kisses the top of his head lightly.
Michael stares at Gabriel "Are you sure ?".
Gabe nods "Yep… Dean pretty much said so himself… I mean he is fifteen so the hormone thingies are there… and he gives Lu these looks like he's trying to decide if he's allowed to like him that way or if he'd get in trouble".
Michael sighs and runs a hand down his face.
Gabriel frowns a little "Or it could be he thinks Lu would be offended… I mean he makes it very clear Dean is not a toy and he won't treat him that way… maybe Dean thinks he doesn't want him at all".
"Do you know if it's common ?" asks Mike.
"Uh what ?" asks Gabe.
"Toys… or ex toys falling for an owner who has no interest in them that way ?" says Michael.
Gabriel gives his 'now how am I supposed to know that' look and Michael smiles softly.
"Sorry stupid question… I don't associate with those who own Toys… and treat them like property as you know… perhaps I should let Dean know that Lu does see him that way" says Michael.
"I can tell him" says Gabe.
"He may not believe it from you… but from Lu's brother… I think he would be hard pressed not too" replies Mike as he pulls Gabe onto his lap.
Gabriel grins "Yeah maybe and if that doesn't work I can tell Lu that Deano thinks he's hot".
Michael chuckles "Let's save that as a last resort huh… we don't want to rush them".
Gabriel bites his bottom lip hoping he won't hurt Mike's feelings "Your wrong on that Lover… five years of no love… no one who cared about him… a little push is just what he needs and so is Lu".
Michael smiles and squeezes Gabe a little "How did you get so wise Love ?".
"I learnt it from you" smiles Gabriel happily as he snuggles back into his boyfriends arms.
When Dean sleeps alone he dreams of Azazel… dreams of torment and pain… constant fear of being sent to the monster for punishment, of the last beating he took from him and he always wakes up screaming.
When Dean sleeps with Lu he dreams of soft touches, kisses and loving words… he dreams that the man who is so good to him, so kind, so hot makes love to him slowly, tenderly and he always wakes up hard.
~* Thank you all for the reviews and uh to answer a few question a) Welcome to my dark side… we have cupcakes ! b) AU's allow for so many things you can't do in reality based fiction that's why I favour them c) Dean will not be taking part in the punishment of those who hurt him… he doesn't need to see them ever again… I think that's it. Oh and for those of you wondering how graphic I will be getting with descriptions of the Toy trade or who others treat their's… I won't be, I am trying to focus on Lucifer/ Dean not why they met… so the squeamish can keep reading unless smut offends thee… *~
