Lucifer Bonavitz

Isak heard a knock on the door and just pulled the blanket over his head as if hiding would make whoever was outside disappear. He had been hiding from everyone ever since the party. Isak was ashamed of how it had ended and that he had gotten a little drunk. It wasnt the plan, Isak had never had alcohol before and had planed on never tasting it either. Now that plan was out of the window and he was struggling to get back on track with his life goals.  However, hearing it was Lucifer outside got the boy up on his feet. Lucifer, the one from the party whom had pretty much saved him. He had to at least open and thank them for the help, but how on earth did they know what room he was in? well it probably wasnt hard to figure out, ask around a bit. Isak walked over to the door in his shorts and t-shirt dressed as if he was going to practice, not because he was going to practice but because this was what he was most comfortable wearing. He opened the door with a small smile “ hi lucifer” he said letting them in. 

Lucifer was glad that Isak opened the door. They were starting to get worried the more and more time passed. “Hey,” They gave a small head nod, walking into his flat. Lucifer eyed the outfit as they shrugged their back pack off their shoulder and tossing it into the ground. “Was this a bad time? Are you heading out?” Lucy was ready to head back towards the door. They didn’t want to interrupt anything. “I just wanted to check in on you. I didn’t know your classes or anything like that so I only really had this to go on.” They explained their shoulders hunched forward. They felt weird that they had to hunt Isak down like that but it was the only way to get in touch with them. 

Jack: how'd you think ;)

Jack: i know right?? shocker tbh

Lucifer: You two hooked up??

It had been a few days since the party. Lucifer hadn’t seen Isak around school. They wanted to ask around, but it would just lead to more questions than answers. Finally, somehow, Lucifer figured out Isak’s dorm room. They knocked on the door hoping they would open up. Lucifer had just came from the mailroom. They had a bunch of things they had ordered online in their bookbag. “Hey, Isak? It’s me Lucifer from the other night. If you’re in there?” They spoke up in case the kid was hiding from everyone. 

“I wore a sweater and a jacket and I was still freezing,” she stated, rubbing her cheeks to get some blood circulating in there again. “History is usually really cool but he sometimes makes it sound like the worst thing ever. He could do the entire Hamilton show and make us fall asleep,” she said with a sigh. “I did great. I feel like if we just had the textbook and not him, we would all pass.”

“Yeah,” They sighed, “Maybe just redirect us to an interesting history youtube channel and base it all on there. I don’t think I can sit and read a textbook. My eyes would just roll on the floor.” They rubbed their eyes. “Awesome. The person next to me bombed it but I don’t think they even know what chapter we’ve been on.” 

“Sure is,” Sav said, lifting her drink in a sort of cheers before taking a sip of it, more than ready to let the conversation move on when they paused, turning back towards her. Her head angled towards one shoulder, Sav shrugged, looking around. “Yeah? Why? Or why not, I guess. It’s definitely something that deserves celebration in my mind.” 

Most people would have had a night in, but Lucifer didn’t see why not party. The whole point was that they were free from the burden of taking care of a child. It deserved a night out, but one that didn’t end with them being knocked up. “Actually sounds like a good idea. How about a round of shots on me?” 

zai: how do you think all the dead got down there?

zai: lmfao im kidding

zai: but really, people go down there all the time

zai: so you wanna go?

Lucy: Someone yeeted them down there?!

zai: well skeletons, but same difference

zai: if we die, we can haunt people

zai: and if we get in trouble, we have to leave

zai: and or arrested abroad 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lucy: If everything down there is dead, how are we going to haunt people? You need living people for that!

Lucy: Shit is that a thing?! Why would you want to do that?!

Lucy: What the fuck?! That's Augie?!

Jack: i know right???

Lucy: How'd you get the photo?

It was hard not to notice how they seemed to hesitate, but he decided not to comment anything about it, knowing that if he did, the answer would probably be a lie. They seemed to be kind of a private person, so he would respect that. In their place, he wouldn’t want to talk about his problems either, “I don’t agree with that, there’s a difference between self-preservation, and being selfish, both are not the same thing,” no one would get hurt if they helped them, not like anyone had a gun pointed at their head, telling them not to help them, “I can stay if you want me to, I don’t have anywhere else to go right now,” he wasn’t really going anywhere important, so it should be fine.

Lucifer nodded their head slowly, “Yeah I want you to stay,” They gathered some clothes and hobbled into the bathroom. Once the bathroom door separated the two of them Lucifer had a lot more confidence. “Make yourself comfortable,” They shouted through the door, “I think I have some soda in the fridge or like snacks. I have Zebra cakes, if you’re into that.” Lucifer turned on the shower, and stepped inside. They took the time to not really get clean but to use the hot water to release the tension off their shoulders. It felt a hell of a lot better, and it gave them time to think. It was barely 10 minutes when they got out of the shower. Their hair matted down against their damp skin. Most of the rough looking edge they had from the fight went away, and they looked more like a lost puppy. Lucifer settled on the edge of their bed going through their phone real quick, “Did you want to do something? I don’t know I’m terrible at being a host.” 

When he helped someone, he didn’t do it, because he wanted people to think that he was a good person. He didn’t do it, because he wanted a good reputation, he did it, because it was just who he was, “I don’t really care if I do or not, it’s not why I’m helping you out,” he said, his arm wrapped around their body, making sure that they wouldn’t fall, “Yeah, of course, only a heartless person would see you need help, and just ignore you.”

They made it to Lucifer’s dorm room. They didn’t move at first just staring at the door in fear. They didn’t want to face their twin, not yet. However, they didn’t have any other place to go. They peeked over at Rich trying to see if he caught on to their hesitation.  If they waited any longer they were going to be stuck with more questions. Lucifer opened their dorm room, but didn’t step inside. They waited a moment to see if Sutton was going to make an appearance around the corner. When they didn’t appear, Lucifer stepped inside. “Heartless? I figured it’s called self-preservation or whatever crap people say. I don’t think I would stop for me.” They said. Lucifer wobbled towards their bedroom opening it up. “If you want to make yourself comfortable, you can. I mean you don’t have to stay if you don’t want to.” 

Jack: [sent a picture]

Jack: damnn looks like augie rlly be image shifting 😳

zai: alright so i’m thinking catacombs this weekend?

zai: i’m trying to see some dead bodies

zai: go into some unexplored tombs

zai: as far so below status

zai: you down?

Lucy: Dead bodies? There are dead bodies down there you can just look at?!?!

It was hard to tell if someone was lying or not, when you barely know them, so he wasn’t sure if their words were true. He would just have to believe them, because honestly, he doubted they would tell him the truth, they barely knew each other, so why would they do it? He would just drop the subject and help them instead, “That’s noble of you, not wanting others to be in trouble,” he said, as he stepped closer, “At least you can admit that you made a mistake,” he wrapped his arms around them, and slowly got them up, “Yeah, don’t worry, I won’t let you fall, you’re safe with me.”

Lucifer halfheartedly shrug their shoulders. It was far from a mistake, it was an eye opener for Lucy. However, they weren’t the type to pick apart a comment that meant well. If they were to correct Rich it would just lead to more questions that Lucifer didn’t want to answer. The leaned against Rich, hobbling next to him. “You’re going to get brownie points for every person that sees you helping me.” They said, “Pretty noble of you,” They lightly teased, “But thank you. I mean it.”
