Why is he not making this about him, like he does everything else? What worries her most is that this is the Lucifer she remembers. The one who started to understand how to put other people first. Every time she comes up with an excuse as to why he's nothing like the Lucifer she fell for, he proves her wrong all over again. ]
I am happy.
[ She chooses the words carefully. She could have said he makes her happy, but Seth is just part of it. Part of the family she has started to build for herself there, part of the people who have rallied around her regardless of her mistakes. Lucifer is an integral part of that family and the only way she can truly be happy is knowing he isn't going anywhere. ]
You guys were friends before I got here. I hope that us being together doesn't change that.
[If he throws a giant wrench in the works, she may not be happy anymore.
He can't have that.]
We were acquaintances if anything. [He takes the status of 'friend' very seriously.] Do let him know that if he does anything to hurt you, I will kill him.
[ She certainly wouldn't be happy with him, at least.
There are better ways to win her back, though. Things like this. ]
You should rethink that. Having friends suits you, Lucifer. [ She's been surprised and impressed by the friendships he has forged here. It's just more proof of how far he has come. ] I would like for you to be friends. I could live without a replay of Detective Douche. And I appreciate the sentiment but I'll be okay. I don't always need you to rescue me.
[ Little does he know, Seth had been pushing her towards Lucifer just as much as anyone else before they got together. ]
[ She sees RIGHT through that, Lucifer, but he's trying and sometimes it really is the thought that counts. ]
Good enough for me. [ Lucifer's best behavior is usually bottom tier for what Chloe expects but he's been better lately, and she'll take it. ]
All of that aside. Are you okay? Until we talked I guess I didn't realize how hard being here is for you. [ At least, when it came to her dying, anyway. His response had still surprised her; he has seen so much death, he was the Devil. She still doesn't really understand why her death affected him the way that it did. Even though it should be obvious. ]
[ She smiles subconsciously. For as much as she enjoys Seth's company, she's been halfway miserable since their argument. Lucifer is so much more than her only connection to home; he's her friend, really and truly, in ways that she didn't even realize until she landed in this God-awful place. ]

[For her. Notice he didn't make any actual promises, however.
After all, he doesn't like to lie. :)]

It doesn't have to be over text. Maybe we could meet up and try that lunch date again?
[ That's her way of saying she misses him. She wants to see him. Her life isn't the same without seeing him every day. It just doesn't feel right. ]
text;
He always wants to see her.]
I'd like that, actually.

Tomorrow?
