Thanks for Your Time (Flapjacks and Gumbo):
A large canopy bed frame made from finest pine wood with interlocking grooves. Hand woven and sewn silk sheets and bed linens in Lucifer's colors. Came with a curtain that one could tie back one either side of the bed. Came in the size of a queen size mattress with feather stuffed pillows. Currently occupied by soundly sleeping Lucifer away at night. Curled up around a stuffed duck plushie and the smell of spices for apple pie. Large grin spread across his face when another smell entered the room. Once he came to learn by heart after their MANY interactions.
Untouched clay found from wilds of the Earth
Cloudy day before first drop of rain
Charred area left after a lightning strike
Fresh air from mountains' top
Meadow full of budding flowers
Crisp snow from on first day of winter
When mixed together it brought images of silvery eyes and orbs of light in the form of ring. Voice that was purest he ever heard since still an Angel in heaven. Carried a smile that gave off a shy girl that hid a temptress. Made him happily snuggle further forward the center of his large bed. Where a second body currently lay in a knee length, Victorian style, nightdress. Her loosely braided hair worn sideways to leave her neck bare for him.
"Hello," She welcomed his head onto her lap, "Sleepy head."
"Elanye?l" Lucifer stirred upon hearing her voice.
"Miss me?" She ran on her ungloved hands through his messed up hair.
Chills that ran through his spine when he allowed her memories of being away. To flow through their established connection and see where she was. Images of the living world visiting family filled his mind one after another.
"My nephew says hi and will be the third male into my family," She whispered, "He looks just like my brother at 16."
"Looks like you had fun," He hummed, "I should meet the lad."
"He's a tad sarcastic." She warned Lucifer.
"Runs in the family." Lucifer looked up at her.
Up he pushed his still sleepy body up to her own for a simple kiss from her without a care. Had her then being dragged by him into a laying down position. She had relocated his duck plushie to make room for herself beside him.
"No more leaving?" He asked out of slight worry.
"Until my niece comes into her abilities." She warned him.
"Hmmm … " He curled up against her chest.
He fell back asleep as she crawled under the covers to join in sharing the warmth. Which he welcomed with his head on her shoulder, as she lay on her back with her arm around him. How the two found each other the rest of the night since falling into this routine. One Lucifer wholeheartedly accepted since he always got to wake up to a sight staring back at him. Soon as his rubber ducky alarm clock's quacking woke them up. Sunken area of his bed on the opposite side of him was a welcoming sight. Rested right next to his own and showing signs of waking up. She lay on feather stuffed pillows with a head of braided hair. Slowly inhaled and out through her nostrils as she barely moved a muscle. Laying perfectly still with her arms still around him. Soft and squishy surface his head was resting on had him smirking.
Chill sensation he once felt when he laid in this alone giant bed many nights. Wide awake with only a dusky plushie to comfort to cuddle in the long hours. Replaced by an odd warmth, one he welcomed in full and had him feeling content. Since he noticed the time passing when he just watched her. Soon half opened Silver eyes started to open and take notice of light yellow sclera and red pupils.
"Like what you see?" One asked the other.
She took advantage of their closeness, to run her fingers through his bed head, to comb her fingers through the tangled mess. Her fingers taking on a messaging motion had him mewing. Left him to move even closer to her until he came to nestle back her soft mounds. He kneaded with the side of his head as inhaled her scent. Moans that escaped her lips when the sleeves of her nightdress fell. Exposing her heaving chest to him and his eager fingers to explore when he started to use a hand.
"Great way," Lucifer rolled over for a better angle, "To say good morning."
Elanye ended up unable to fight back as his hand worked her bare chest. Her hand still caught up in her other slowly. Over down under the covers. Until they found a bulge forming in the bottom of his pajamas. She coddled him through the fabric when she lightly gripped him.
"Quickie?" She breathed out her question.
"You read my mind," He hissed when she squeezed him, "Only if you help me out."
Which she did by sliding his pants down his thighs until the cool air of his room tingled his heat skin. Made him hiss when he was kissing his way up from her chest to her lips. She kissed the side of his lips as the hand in his hair moved to the back of his neck. He willingly accepted while pulling her nightdress up and completely sheathing himself. Allowing the two to be lost in pleasure with a rhythm building up rather quickly. His head came to rest beside her own as she wrapped an arm around his neck. He took a form hold of her hip with one hand as the other he used to flip them.
"Ride me." He got the words out.
"Don't.." He didn't allow her to finish when she was forced to reposition her self.
She wasn't bragging just about being able to ride a broom when his eyes widened, head falling backwards onto the pillows. Biting into his lower lip at sight before him. She properly placed her body and stuck to their quickening pace. Way those strong, shapely thighs stood on either side of his waist. The muscles of her lower torso flexed each time to match his movements. Way she kept her back straight and the way she positioned her hands to brace her self. Happy groan she earned from him when her walls tightened around him.

Wywave surprised everyone one morning when he made breakfast as a celebration to the hotel garden being done. Everyone was woken from their half asleep stares at the food set out. First a gumbo made with apples and catfish monster meat beside flurry flapjacks made with golden raisins. Goopy cinnamon rolls the size of Adam's fist were an added bonus for anyone with a sweet tooth.
"He builds and cooks," Angel Dust was in love, "Can I call you Daddy?"
"Not a bad boy." Niffty huffed.
"Depends." Wywave was washing a knife.
"When you get off?" Angel Dust asked with wiggle eyebrows
"I am open this afternoon," He answered, "You like getting dirty?"
Husk and Adam didn't really take to the flirting between the two upon watching them. Charlie was the one that defused the situation while Alastor and her dad just watched. Vaggie backed up what Charlie was trying to keep from exploding. Elanye was a tad late joining them all with Keekee and Hoo- hoo on her person.
"You can cut the tension with the executioner's blade." She looked around.
Quietness that built up when she looked around the kitchen for an answer had her backing off. Her lips pressed tightly closer when she fought the urge to say a single thing. In fear she would ruin the paused peace that came in the form of awkward standoff.
"Jealousy is in the air." Alastor sang out with his cane twirling.
"Not helping." Vaggie and Lucifer warned Alastor.
"Oh," Elayne was shocked over the news, "Wish I could stick around, but I have morning deliveries."
Lucifer put down his mug to chase after her with a mild request for later on that day. Leaving his daughter to get Adam and Husk to back down from Wywave and Angel Dust.
"Whiskers?" Angel Dust asked rather touched.
"Don't look at me like that." Husk lifted a wing to block Angel Dust's view of him.
How wanting to deal with realization he was envious of someone flirting with a man he was coming to like. Adam grabbed the piece of food he could find and started eating to forget.
"No," Wywave kept Adam from stuffing a cinnamon roll in his mouth, "Eating your problems isn't healthy."
"Not cool." Adam fought an urge to give him a certain hand gesture.
He ended up being reminded of how far he came by having a bowl of sliced fruit placed in his hands. Instead of noticing the extra detail put into how the fruit was arranged. How vanilla yogurt was placed carefully in the center with fork add for extra measure. He felt an odd chill when Wywave didn't stay those extra seconds to stay close. Ask about his day and see what he could do to help him.
"You go chatting up that pink furry thing while I am still sorting out my feelings for you," Adam blurted out, "Harsh man."
"Hey…" Angel Dust was offended and ended up being quieted.
"I was going to ask him," Wywave was touched by Adam's comment, "If he wanted to help in my garden, I need to prune the orchard and pull weeds among other small things."
"You weren't … " Adam felt like a loon.
"Nope," Wywave thought about how adorable Adam was right now, "More the merrier."
Charlie ended up squealing happily over the two making up as she would put up much later. Since her dad walked back in with half his face covered in red Kiss marks belonging to Elanye. Lightly muttering that he got a yes out of her going to LuLu land with him. Spread across the room like a wildfire through everyone that was a couple.
"How about?" Angel Dust looks at Husk.
"I'll get back to you." Husk just walked away.
Charlie and Vaggie were game as Cherri bomb finally showed up not caring about the morning drama. More interested in the food than the actual topics that everyone was buzzing about.
"Nice spread." Cherri Bomb was awake now.
Questions about recipes came up while everyone was at their own pace when plates were full. Odd thing was that Wywave didn't eat right away like everyone else did. Did seem to worry Adam as Lucifer was too goofed out from Elanye's kisses to care. Charlie ended up confronting him on this and discovered a unique piece of him. A white orb of lights strung together and formed an odd ring surrounding him. He stood away from everyone with his eyes closed and back resting on the counter. Posture straight and arms resting at his side with rapid eye movement.
"Wywave?" Charlie called to him, "Umm…"
She saw the ring of orbs disappear when he opened his eyes to look upon who called him by name. Saw Charlie had left a portion of food she had dished out for him. Put a smile on his face about her thinking about him with a shake of his head she didn't understand.
"What was that?" She was rather intrigued by the ring of orbs.
"One of many abilities that come with Fallen Angel blood in our veins," He lifted his hand, "One of them is a ring of light and a weak empathic connection."
He ended up forming a single orb of light with images of Elanye was currently seeing Charlie. That ended as soon as it began that left Charlie amazed at what was shown.
"My way of checking in with Elanye when she delivers," He assured Charlie, "Usually lasts for a second or two and doesn't go beyond that."
Questions she had for him about this ability didn't seem to bother him when he answered them. Lack of flight or why wings caught Lucifer's ear when he was washing his face.

Elanye went wide-eyed when Lucifer slowly dragged a finger down the center of her back and shoulder blades. Making grasping apple blossom shaped zipper tad hard to pull. So back of her Apple Blossom dress, with a 2- layered skirt and off the shoulder, tulip sleeves. Second layer of skirt and sleeves modeled after pedals of apple blossoms. Skirt was an Embroidered with one of flora details and apple wood buttons. Was left open to his curious eyes when he couldn't find a single wing insignia.
"I know you want a repeat of this morning," She tried to not gasp, "Warn a girl."
"Will do," He proudly smirked, "That's not why I was checking that pristine back."
He then kissed the area his finger tranced while pulling up the zipper to fasten it as her ring of orbs appeared. This time around a smaller one above her head appeared followed by an outline of wings. Colors of sapphire and white diamonds twinkled like starry filled without cloud in the sky. natural light it gave off Soon faded away just like it appeared and left Elanye with rush of sudden Dopamines. Showed in her eyes when she went quiet in those seconds.
"Are you.." He asked mindly concerned.
When she leaned forward to surely place a kiss on his lips that she was quite fine after the light display. Had him make her promise to show him the full extent of what she could do. She came to agree as to not further worry him when another light display happened.
"Don't we have somewhere to be?" She reminded him.
"Yes, we do." He recalled their theme park date.
She slipped on her matching flats and apple blossom shaped purse on a silver chain with her hair up curled ponytail. Lucifer added the ribbon choker with apple blossom pendent in the center. Studded earrings that matched within the lobes of her ears and matching hair ribbon. Before he altered his signature outfit to button down shirt of a white coloring with cuffed sleeve worn under a waist coast. Simple slacks that were tailored with these monogramed socks and matching shoes. Lapels of waist coat took on the appearance of apple blossoms with same flora embroidery. Monogram design was branch of apple blossoms about to bloom. Buttons were made of apple wood found throughout his matching outfit.
"Ready?" She went to ask him.
"Any time." He offered her his arm.
