[closed] heart old and testified

[walkingheroin]

Who: Lucifer Morningstar and Klaus Mikaelson
Where: Deux Lux
When: Sometime in August???
Rating: Pretty tame, for them.
Summary: Lucifer is really, really bad at feelings. Klaus ain't so great at it either. Girls are hard.
The Story:

[He hasn't seen his friend too often lately, and he's been keen to collect the thoughts and advice of those he considers in that category.

So on a particularly slow night at his club, he shoots Klaus a text, hoping for a quick reply.]

Come have a drink with me. Or several.

I'll break out the good stuff that I've been saving.

[Lucifer has wanted a great many things in his life, but never quite like this.

Or perhaps this is the only thing he's ever truly wanted and the rest was a lie to himself so he could believe he had everything.

Either way, it's frightening.]

You make it sound simple, even if it isn't easy.

[He seems to hesitate a moment more before his pulls in a breath and straightens out his posture, exhaling with his chin lifted.]

Very well, I will fight for her. [A beat.] I assume you don't mean I should actual duel her boyfriend to the death or anything.

[poppycock]

( very few things worth doing are easy. klaus has spent so many centuries of his life doing what's easy, what's been cowardly, what's given him nothing but pain.

he pulls in a breath and lets it out, relieved at the very least that lucifer will try. he knows that way might lead to heartache. his own makes it impossible for him to spare much happiness, but he hopes — he does hope.

klaus takes a drink and lets it dull his senses. a smile, mustered and wry, follows. ) Only if you think it will help. ( he looks lucifer's way and shares that smile.

he suspects lucifer's considered it. he would've. )
