Disclaimer: Nah. I won't say it this time. You know anyway.
Characters: Lucifer, Chloe
Inspired by: The actual series itself! That's a first one, I think xD (Season 1, Episode 7 'Wingman')
A/N:Because this is how I spent most of my free time the last week... And because the one I planned for today just isn't working. I'm not in the mood for Angst right now, sorry ^^
Stitches
Though Chloe had a hard time admitting it, she did spent most of her free time thinking about work. Even when she was with Trixie, part of her was often reflecting on the latest case.
It was tiring, and it was unhealthy, and yes, it was morose. She definitely needed some off-time.
And since she had no clue where else to start, and the idea had somehow stuck in her head anyway, she followed Lucifer's advice.
That was why Lucifer, appearing unexpected and unbidden one night at Chloe's, found his Detective fallen asleep on her sofa with a mess of needles and wool at her feet. The Devil stared at her, blinked, and then took up her piece of knitting carefully. After a careful survey of the work, he was pretty sure she had been trying to knit a beanie or something similar (judging by the colour, it was meant for the spawn). She had managed to loose quite a lot of stitches, too.
His first impulse was to tease her about it, but when a look into her sleeping face made him smile involuntarily, he decided against it.
Lucifer grabbed a blanket and spread it over his Detective before sitting down on the chair opposite her and carefully beginning to clean up her mess. Plain stitch, purl stitch, plain stitch, purl stitch...
He worked mesmerizing fast.
When Chloe woke up in the morning, she found the knitting work in her hands and somehow it looked a lot better than it had in the evening: Must've been the light, or something.
