True to his word Lucifer did allow me to stay in his arms, but he forced some of the icky medicine into my mouth, that made me feel all drowsy, I was half asleep in his arms for the rest of his meeting. When a familiar voice came in and started talking, even in my not so sober situation, I could hear them clearly talking to each other about me."You've hurt her" Lucifer says in an ice cold voice, a voice as cold as hell. "She's not a pet! She's not a puppy! She's a girl! My girl" the other voice says, Andy says.
"She belongs to me! The only reason you're not teared up to shreds right now is because you mean something to her. Old you do, and until that something dies in her eyes, I'm keeping you" Lucifer say back, I wanted to get up and tell them to stop fighting but I couldn't not with the medicine that he gave me. "You gave her ears and tail! You make her sit on a fucking dogs bed! She's a baby now all the time cause of you!" Andy yells, I wanted to yell back, my chair isn't a dog bed, it's mine, it's just as fancy as daddy's or Keiran chairs, it just made to fit me better. And I love my little space, it makes the days better."I don't own you any explanation to what I do or don't do. Now you better watch your next word demon before I make you regret them" daddy Lucifer threatens! Go daddy go!
"What's worse? You're making watch out over the girl I love while she follows you around like a lost puppy?" Andy spit the words out, those hurt, they hurt badly. "I could make your life a living hell! But since it's such a torture for you to see me with my pet, then be it. You're still her bodyguard and sitter, bring her hurt to me again and I'll skin you alive, throw you in one of the volcanoes and then repeat over and over again" if I thought Lucifer was scary before, he's terrifying now.
Andy doesn't dare to say anything or maybe he got out, all I know and feel is daddy's touch over my sore ears, making me calm down, I feel sorry for my friend, spending time with me shouldn't be a punishment. Even with how hurt I am, I couldn't wake up, the emotions got me to fall to sleep even more now, everything went dark.
"Come on pet time to wake up" I heard a voice say to me. "You're having dinner before you can get back to sleep" Lucifer says. "Daddy I'm sleepy" I say in a tired voice, but the word that slipped out of my moutb got me fully awake! I said daddy out loud, I've been calling him that in my head, and not out loud but I did it. "Daddy knows you're sleepy but need food my little pet" he shakes me awake again, this time achieving his goal.
I yawned and sat up, we were in the bedroom, dinner was set on a tray in front of me. "I thought it's better if you take it easy tonight" Lucifer says, he cares? I did sit up, allowing him to feed me my food, this time I took my time chewing my steak, thinking everything over in my head, beforr opening for another bite, by the end of dinner I've made my mind and was going to ask him about it, but I had no idea how to open the topic.
"Go ahead Nova, I know you've been thinking about it, let me help you" he says, reading my mind easily! Maybe he could just answer without me asking. "I can't do that, you're head is a real jungle right now, I wouldn't know which question to answer to. Plus I'd prefer if you say them out loud" he says, I nod ky head yes and decided to talk. "Why do you call me pet?" I ask him my first and most important question.
"Because you are my pet of course" he answers casually. "Oh... I'm just a pet" I say feeling disappointed in myself in overthinking everything else. "Being my pet isn't a bad thing, now is it Nova?" He says, I shake my head no, it's not, but it's also not the thing I really want to be.
"And what would that be Nova? Don't look at me like that, you know I can pick on your thoughts" he says with a smile. "I want to be yours, like really yours, not just a pet or a puppy, someone to love and care for. I thought, it's my fault nevermind" I stop myself from digging a deeper hole for myself, I wanted someone to love me for who I am.
"And I do, I do care, I do love you, and I do know from the second you were born your place would be next to me" he says sounding sincere. "As your pet?" I ask him. "As my pet, as my little, as my lover" he says the last word closing his argument with a kiss to my lips, making my heart skip few beats.
