Lucifer's Coat

Lucifer didn't like the look of any of the store bought coats that Dan could find that were brands he would wear and so, instead of getting an expensive coat he'd not like Lucifer gave him the number of his personal tailor.

It shouldn't have surprised Dan that Lucifer had a personal tailor, but he was regardless. Also, Lucifer trusted the man enough to just give him the number and say anything would go.

Apparently the tailor knew Lucifer's tastes in clothing so well, he'd be able to make a great coat Lucifer would like.

So, the Saturday after their talk with the whole flock, Dan found himself out the front of a tailor shop waiting for a Mr. Wense. He had no first name, no idea what the man looked like. All he knew was that Lucifer sang praises about him.

Mr. Wense, when he was done with whatever it was he was doing, stood and came over to him. And he instantly knew one reason why Lucifer liked him so much. While the man wasn't muscle bound, in fact he was rather skinny, he was sure in his body and the way it moved. He also wore glasses and was open with his smiles.

Dan had hung out with Lucifer to know his tastes well enough now and Wense had geek written all over him and Lucifer's taste in guys tended towards the geeky. Another reason son came into light. "Mr. Espinoza? Lucifer called to say you would meet with me. He said you wanted to buy him a coat. Do you have any idea what colour he was looking for, or is it for everyday wear and not o fit just one suit?"

The man was very to the point. "Uh, it's for everyday wear, yes. For some unknown reason we don't think he has a coat. Has he ever bought one from you before?"

"No, no he hasn't. I wondered myself, but I don't tell the customer what to buy. I can say what colours would go best with what, but that's about as much as I can to point them in the right direction. It is up to the customer and what they want."

Dan relaxed and nodded. "That's good. Lucifer said you knew his tastes and would choose something for him that would go with his style and clothing."

Wense nodded his head.. "Yes, I know his tastes well. He's been doing business with me for the past 6 years."

Wense didn't want to put a price on said coat until it was done, which left Dan a little nervous. The tailor must have picked up on that, because he laughed. "Lucifer said it was a late Christmas gift because you have to save money. For you, I will make a one-time offer. You can pay what you can each week, until the coat is fully paid for. I won't down the price, but that is the best I can do."

Dan sighed with relief. "No man, that sounds good. And yeah, it's a joint present between Lucifer's friends for him. None of us have that much money, but together we'd pay it off quicker than if it was just me, so it won't take forever for you to get your money."

Wense smiled brightly at him. "I am glad to see he has made some friends. I think he was very lonely. It is also good to see you willing to get something you know he'd like as opposed to buying something you know he won't but think he'd wear anyway. I'll start on the coat design tonight. I will let you know when you can come and pick it up."

Dan nodded and, without saying another word, walked out. He had no idea what to do with that, but at least Lucifer will be getting his coat soon.

It took two weeks and Dan picked up the coat and paid what money he and the others had saved up for it. All up the price was $3000. A little over some of the coats he could have bought online, a little under a few. It was still damn expensive for a piece of clothing, but he knew Lucifer would love it. It was a dark grey, would go down to his knees and the fabric used was so soft and warm, Dan had a hard time keeping his hands off of it.

The others were already over at Lucifer's for their weekly Netflix night. They were halfway through Lost now and planning to watch Supernatural next. Only Ella had seen it and she enjoyed it. Though she did say that they would have to put up with Lucifer ranting. Personally, he couldn't wait to hear the things Lucifer had to say about a show filled with angels, including a version of himself.

They could probably get some really good info on how angels really were when not on Earth and in their home domain of Heaven.

With the coat hooked up to the backseat window to save it getting wrinkled, even with it being in its garment bag, he made his own way to the penthouse apartment at Lux.

When he finally got there and arrived, bag held in one hand, he knew Lucifer was excited by the way his wings were all perked up on themselves. His feathers were going to be out of place if he kept it up. His eyes had zeroed in on the bag.

Ella got a face full of feathers as his wings puffed up with excited happiness. "You got it! Well, let's see what Wense did then, shall we?"

And with that, Dan handed over the bag and Lucifer unzipped it so carefully, Dan wondered if he'd ever get in there to see it, so much as put it on.

"Oooh, pretty," was the only thing any of them said. It was Ella. Lucifer had pulled the bag away revealing the coat inside. His eyes basically glowing with pleasure at it. "Grey. Goes with quite a few of my suits! That's good, especially with the cold snap that is supposed to be here tomorrow. And nice material. Did he say what he made it with?"

Dan shook his head. "No, he didn't. He just made something he thought you'd like and wear."

Lucifer grinned widely. "He'd be right too! Lovely. Thank you. All of you. Here, let me put it on."

With that said, he pulled it out of the bag, discarded the coat hangar and shrugged it on over the black suit he was wearing.

Dan watched as he closed his eyes, hummed a little, before buttoning it up. "So warm. Thank you. This really means a lot."

And with that said, Lucifer shed the coat gain, though he looked reluctant in doing so. He then hung it back up and put it back in its bag. "I'll save that for the cold weather tomorrow. I have my wings out all night tonight, so don't really need it."

Lucifer had found out that his wings, especially with the fluffy down, kept him nice and warm when they were out and not wet. So far, Trixie's idea was the one he took to the most. Though the nice heating and warm water for wing showers were also good. A pile of blankets for them to huddle under was always present in the living room now too, on Thursday nights.

He grabbed his, a big light blue one, and wrapped it around himself, dropping onto the couch on Lucifer's left.

Dusty squawked at him from the perch he was sitting on, before flying over to his shoulder. He pet the bird gently on his head. "You been a good boy, Dusty?" he asked.

The now familiar whistle and head bob followed by a loud "yep" was done. He gave the bird another pat on the head. "That's good. You can have an almond when you get home. Would you like that?"

Dusty nibbled gently at his ear and made his pleased bird sounds he understood to mean he would like that. Lucifer grinned at the bird.

"So! Let's get this show started then, shall we?" the devil stated, before picking up the remote to start the episode they were up to now.

As soon as the show started, Dusty left his seat on Dan's shoulder and went to where he usually went to watch the shows with the flock. On top of Lucifer's head. A wing draped over him, soft and warm and solid. It glowed slightly from Lucifer's contentment.

Well, few ideas as they were, they were more than enough it seemed to keep Lucifer warm and happy and that made Dan feel good.

All of them, together, were giving Lucifer his first true good winter on Earth.

It felt like he had done something very right.
