Chapter Seventeen.
Dean was nervous… he sat as close to Lu as he could without being in his lap, clinging to his lovers hand as Michael ushered the detectives in.
"Dean… Lu this is Detective's Singer and Turner. Gentlemen my brother Lu and Dean".
Dean swallows hard and half whispers hello.
Detective Singer smiles softly at him "Hello Dean… Mr Novak, we'll keep this as short as possible. Do you mind us recording the interview Dean ?".
The boy shakes his "I don't mind".
"Good… thank you. Could you set up the camera Rufus while get the basic's sorted out" says Singer.
Detective Turner nods "Sure no worries" and goes about setting up the video camera.
Detective Singer sits and Michael excuses himself.
"Now just a few basic questions for the record… what's your full name ?" says Bobby.
"Dean Winchester" replies Dean.
"No middle name ?" asks the detective.
"No Sir" replies Dean.
Bobby writes it down then asks "And your date of birth ?".
Dean tells him and he writes it down.
"Where were you born Dean ?" asks Bobby.
"Lawrence in Kansas…" replies Dean.
The detective adds that to his notes as he asks "Your parents names ?".
"John and Mary Winchester" says Dean.
"Ok… are we set Rufus ?" asks Bobby.
"Any time you want to start Bob" replies his partner.
"Ok roll it" says Bobby before he started the interview.
Two hours later he and his partner left the Novak estate sick to their stomach's.
"That prick doesn't deserve jail for what he did…" snarls Rufus as they drive away.
"None of them do… I'd personally like to string every damn one of them up but we have to keep our heads on this one… have to make it stick" replies Bobby.
Rufus nods "Oh we will… Cross, the weasel who owns Greenwood and all it's staff are going down for this… that poor boy… how dare they".
"It was only a matter of time partner… we both know Dean isn't the first, just the first we have a chance of proving" says Bobby.
Detective Turner makes a disgusted noise.
"Let's hope it's just a start" adds Bobby.
Lucifer held Dean's hand the entire time, giving it little reassuring squeezes from time to time when his boy would tremble slightly as he told the detectives his story. He would whisper softly "It's ok… take a moment" and "I'm here Love".
And when the detectives left he wasn't at all surprised that Dean scrambled onto his lap the moment they were out of the room. Lucifer holds his beloved boy tightly, whispering "Never again… I will keep you safe".
Dean clings to his lovers neck and buries his face so he can breathe in Lu's scent… the scent that calms him and makes him feel safe.
Lu strokes the hair on the back of his head "I've got you Dean" he half whispers.
The boy nods "Yes you do" he whispers.
Lucifer smiles knowing Dean means literally and that Lu has his heart.
"Let's hope you only have to talk about what happened a few more times… they may need you to go to court yet. Then we can move on… make our life together" smiles Lucifer.
Dean nods "I know… I just hate thinking about it all… and it scares me a little too".
Lu nods "Why does it scare you ? I won't ever let anyone hurt you again".
Dean nods "I know you won't Lu… I…" he takes a very deep breath "I'm scared I'm dreaming you… dreaming all this. Scared that I'm still in a coma after what he did… I…" half gasps Dean as tears flow.
"Oh Dean… I don't know how to prove to you that your awake… I have no idea what a coma is like… all I can do is love you, care for you and protect you til you can be sure for yourself" says Lu.
Dean nods and whispers "Most of the time it feels real… I feel awake but some times I wonder".
"When do you wonder the most ?" asks Lu.
"Like now… when a loving, wonderful man holds me and loves me like this" whispers Dean.
"Well then I must be dreaming too… having you in my arms feels so unreal some times Dean… a dream come true" replies Lucifer.
Dean smiles softly and snuggles closer to the man he loves.
Lucifer kisses the top of his head "I love you Dean".
"I love you too Lu" replies Dean.
They sit like that for awhile before Lucifer suggests lunch and they make their way to the kitchen to find that Rachel was making Dean's favourite thing… bacon cheese burgers.
She had heard that he was about to be interviewed and wanted to spoil him a bit.
Dean was so touched he hugged her without thought making both her and Lucifer smile happily at his progress as she hugged him back.
Lucifer and Dean sit at the counter and wait for their lunch as they sip Coke's and hold hands.
Rachel smiles at the sight as she thinks 'They deserve to be happy… and Lucifer loves him so much… his parents would be proud'.
She had worked for them before they died and stayed on after to look after the boys for them as she had been very fond of both their parents.
~* The ball is rolling… the bastards will pay but will the law let Dean stay with his lover ? *~
