Jaq and Lucifer.

[stuck_mynock]

Jaq's trying to learn how to read.

He's arranged a sofafort for this purpose, and is sitting in its depths, staring at a book. He hopes that if he stares long enough eventually it'll make sense.

There may be some frustration.

"No." Lucifer kisses Jaq's neck. "For that."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Oh, okay." Jaq's not going to argue if it gets him kisses.

[necessary_child]

Lucifer's not exactly complaining, either. He leans against Jaq, cuddling up.

"So what was with the book, anyway?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Trying to learn how to read." Absently, as Jaq focuses his attention on sliding his hands down Lucifer's arms.

[necessary_child]

"You can't -" As Sam bites down on a very stupid question, leaning back against Jaq.

"How come you never learned before?"

It's an unconscious thing, but the hair-tug Lucifer gets is probably harder than it really needs to be.

"Various reasons."

[necessary_child]

Lucifer meeps at the hair-tug.

Jaq looks momentarily apologetic, playing with Lucifer's hair rather more gently.

[necessary_child]

"What was that for?" he asks plaintively. His tone isn't so much a demand as honestly curious with a side of woe.

That hurt.

"Nothing. Super strength causes problems, sometimes."

[necessary_child]

"...Okay." Lucifer frowns at him, a little, but leans back against him trustingly enough.

Eventually, "Can I help?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"With what?" As Jaq snakes one arm around Lucifer.

[necessary_child]

"The reading."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You wouldn't be able to read it either." Jaq replies. "Different language, y'see."

[necessary_child]

"Could try?" he offers. "Might be like one I know."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq considers this.
"When I can be bothered t'move and get the book."

[necessary_child]

Lucifer laughs, leaning his head on Atton's shoulder.

"Okay. Dork."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq pokes him in the side.
Gravely: "I'll never be as dorky as you."

[necessary_child]

Lucifer pokes back.

"You're such a liar, Jaq. You're like the Dorkmaster General or something."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Them's fighting words, I think." Jaq replies, gravely. "You're the King of Dorks."

[necessary_child]

"Pfft. I could only ever hope to be but the crown prince," he says solemnly. "Besides the imperial majesty of your eternal dorkiness."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq pouts, a little.
"Mean."

[necessary_child]

"Not either! Just honest."

Lucifer sticks his tongue out.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Pffft."

[necessary_child]

He laughs.

"See, you can't argue."
