"Sure there was." He shrugged. "There's a point in everyone's life that they existed for eighteen years, humans just happen to celebrate it."
"Huh… I guess that's exclusively a human thing, then. The last time I remember celebrating my birthday was… uh…" Scipio thought for several seconds before something clicked in his eyes. "I-I don't think I've actually ever celebrated it. My parents never bothered when I was little, and I left before I was old enough to realize that wasn't normal."
"Aw. Well, guess what, from now on we'll celebrate it with you," Lucifer assured, stroking him gently. "Every year I'll ask you if you want anything from you… if you want me to do something… It'll be nice, I'm sure." He pressed a gentle kiss to Scipio's cheek, smiling.
Scipio face went red again and he hid it in his hands. "I… I don't even know what I want anymore… I'm hopeless…" He sighed quietly.
Lucifer frowned a little and glanced after him, pulling his hands away. "How about I take you out for a day? You and I can go into town and you can get whatever you want. I'll take you out to eat and everything."
"Okay… s-sure." Scipio had to fight the strong urge to hide his face again. "It's not even my birthday yet though, is it?"
"I think it's in a couple days. I'd have to check." Lucifer released his hands and cuddled him closer. "But if you don't know what to do by then, we can do that."
Scipio nodded and pressed himself up against Lucifer. He stayed awake this time, however, just enjoying the closeness in a way he never knew he even could before he came to hell.
(Pretty ironic lol)
(it is lmao)
Lucifer hummed softly and relaxed against the other, stroking his hair slowly and running his fingers through it slowly. He liked this a lot. He never knew he could have this type of relationship with a human like Scipio.
"You're… uh… you're pretty cool…" Scipio said quietly, burying his red face in Lucifer's chest.
"Thank you, Scipio," He said calmly, smiling at his embarrassment. "I think you're pretty cool too. But mostly cute."
"Hhhh…" Scipio groaned and hid his face again. "Yeah. Still entirely hopeless."
Lucifer chuckled and relaxed back into his pillows, propping himself up on them. "You're not hopeless."
"In this situation? Absolutely, I am." Scipio leaned back with Lucifer, sighing. "I have zero experience."
"Look, it's okay. You know I'm just teasing you. You don't have to be nervous about anything," He soothed gently.
"Mm…" Scipio hugged Lucifer again. "Wasn't someone bringing food or something?"
"They're probably making it," He soothed gently, stroking his hair some more. "They'll be in soon."
"Okay. You seem to be in a better mood now that your painting's finished." Scipio murmured, adjusting his sleeve again.
"Yep. It's kind of been stressing me out." He laughed softly, glancing down. "Are you sure you don't want me to get clothes for you?"
"Maybe after we eat… I wouldn't want you to be gone when they come in. It'd be pretty suspicious." Scipio eventually gave up on fixing the sleeve and just let it slide down his shoulder.
"Alright. I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure they'll have expected us to sleep together at least once, but if you don't want nice-fitting clothes, that's fine." He grinned down at the other.
"I said you could go after we eat! Not never. I can't just walk through the halls without pants, though. I do have some decency." Scipio smiled softly to let Lucifer know he was joking, leaning into the demon's warmth once more.
"Well, never it is," Lucifer decided with a laugh. "You've made me decide that I won't go at all. Because I don't want you to leave." He grinned back, throwing his arm around the other once more.
Scipio sighed, shaking his head. He didn't really care though, since Lucifer was warm and he fully intended to abuse that fact. He hugged Lucifer tightly.
Lucifer hugged the fluffi boi back, humming happily. A soft knock announced the arrival of the servant and he stood up to grab the food.
Scipio reluctantly sat up, deciding to hold up the sleeves of the shirt for at least as long as the servant was in there.
Lucifer answered the door and just took the food, thanking them and shutting it. They weren't even able to see past him.
Scipio watched Lucifer as he approached the bed again. "What do we have this time? Do they just bring random food?"
"They just brought some snacks for us." He sat down and gave him two bowls. One was a bowl of nachos that were still warm, and the other some salsa.
Scipio put some salsa in a bowl and started eating his chips quietly. Or, as quietly as someone can actually eat chips because d a m n.
