Sunflowers
Lucifer stands in the middle of the shop feeling like a complete idiot. He likes to think he's a fairly good judge of human behaviour after five years on earth, but now he's surrounded by bunches of balloons and Get-Well-Soon-cards, candy and bouquets of flowers that are far too colourful, he isn't quite sure any more. He wonders why humans believe that buying ridiculous items for someone who's ill would make them feel any better.
It's stunning, the uselessness of all these items when it really is Dad's cruel plan that makes some humans recover and others not. A bunch of flowers doesn't help someone who's dying.
Lucifer's gaze is drawn toward a bouquet of bright sunflowers mixed with red flowers he hasn't bothered to learn the name of.
The Detective certainly isn't dying and she looks like she's the sunflower type, even though it might be that she wouldn't admit that.
He's been at her room twice by now because he feels a certain need to make sure she is okay since he's made her a promise, but she was still out cold and he has wandered around ever since and ended up here. Might as well do what all the humans did and maybe then he'd figure out the use of ridiculous items.
When he sets the flowers down on her night stand a little while later, he's pleased to see that his bouquet is far better looking and taller than the one that is undoubtedly that of – that douche he's forgotten the name of.
Lucifer sits down in the chair beside the bed and soon is deep in thought – why is this woman capable of evading all his charms? How can she resist what every other woman on the planet must irresistibly be drawn towards?
He sees the Detective move and is surprised at how much relief he's feeling to see he has kept his promise.
Without meaning to, he begins to smile.
"Well", Lucifer says softly, "look who's back."
