            "⠀⠀you really wanted me to go out with you huh.⠀⠀"

a low sigh.  exasperated,  even.  but that’s about as frustrated as lucifer will allow herself.  “fine.  i’ll see you later then.”

            [    they deadpan,  rolling their eyes.   their arms are crossed over their chest as they sit,  scratching at their arm quietly before clearing their throat.   ]
            
            "⠀⠀'s it.   to your taste.⠀⠀"

slowly does she reach into the contents,  brandishing the jacket with something unknown on her face.  she clears her throat before she betrays too much of herself.  “is this some elaborate ploy so you can keep taking the other one?”

            "⠀⠀no...⠀⠀"
            [    a weak protest at the warning,  latching tighter to her briefly before sighing and loosening their grip and pushing themselves up slightly to squint down at them.    ]
            
            "⠀⠀did we have anythin' planned...⠀⠀"

“i will melt,”  it’s worded as a warning but she sounds far too tired to sound bitter about it,  only succumbing further into the sheets.  her eyelids feel far too heavy.  “hm,”  a brief grunt of agreement.

“shameless,”  lucifer whispers in the quiet,  still proximity between them.  or perhaps lack of proximity.  she still contently keeps an eye open to groggily appreciate his expression,  before that closes too.

lucifer peeks open an eye as their lips press against the taut skin of her wrist.  briefly do her fingers tense before relaxing.  she’s content enough to watch for the moment.
