[OOM] Jaq.

[stuck_mynock]

After about half an hour in the bar, Jaq limps upstairs to continue tending to his wounds there.

He settles down in the armchair in the corner, cleaning up the gash on his side and vaguely preparing himself to go "I'm fine!" if Lucifer turns up.

By the time he gets back, Jaq is - still in the shower. He's in the shower for a not unremarkable amount of time after that, too, when you take into account that he's usually in and out within ten minutes.

Eventually he emerges with a fluffy towel wrapped around his waist. He still looks a mess (a couple of burns, a lot of mottled bruises, and the marks where the gash is half-healed), but much less so.

If Lucifer could read narration he'd remark sadly that 'in and out within ten minutes' is the story of his life. Perhaps it is for the best.

He's back before Jaq reappears, setting a tray of food and hot chocolate (containing a generous dollop of whisky and topped with an even more generous share of whipped cream and chocolate) down before flopping onto the sofa and stretching out.

Jaq would be shocked and appalled with this deep cruelty.

He ignores the food briefly to wander over to Lucifer, lean down, and kiss him. Tentatively, though - he's not sure how angry Lucifer still is.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

He's still very angry, but not with Jaq, so he leans back and up to return the kiss, one hand gently cupping Jaq's jaw.

Eventually: "Sorry for getting hurt. Is there room for me on there?" Nudging the sofa.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

Lucifer considers his for a moment.

"No. Don't like you enough."

He has no love at all!

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq looks very, very sad.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

Lucifer pokes his tongue out!

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq snorts, and sits down anyway.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

"I don't love you, you know," Lucifer says firmly, sitting up to curl around Jaq.

"I mean, at all. Ever."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I don't love you either," Jaq replies, reaching up to stroke Lucifer's cheek. "In fact, I outright despise you. You pretty much disgust me." The slightly dopey grin is evidence of this disgust.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

He leans his head against Jaq's.

"Good," he says. "I wouldn't want you to think that you don't horrify and appal me, after all."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I don't. I know how much you hate me."

Beat. Jaq's hand slides up to Lucifer's hair.

Softly: "You're so hideous."

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

Lucifer's smile is slow but bright, and he curls an arm around Jaq's shoulders.

"Mmm. You're uglier, though."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nah, you're way uglier."

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

"Definitely not." He nuzzles Jaq's cheek.

"You are nauseatingly hideous. You are beyond ugly."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You're just saying that," Jaq murmurs, angling his head to kiss Lucifer again.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

"Would I lie to you?" he asks, and kisses him slowly.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Jaq murmurs against Lucifer's lips.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

"Mmm."

He cups Jaq's jaw with one hand, steadying the kiss.

Softly, "Liar."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq makes a protesting noise into the kiss, slumping an arm around Lucifer's waist.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

Lucifer makes a sound that is indistinct but definitely disagreeing, leaning closer to Jaq.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq makes a similarly indistinct rebuttal.

[fled-heaven.livejournal.com]

Lucifer makes a noise that sounds rather like 'nuh-uh!', but strokes his fingers across Jaq's bare chest.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Jaq snorts derisively. He also slips a hand beneath Lucifer's shirt, but that's just part of his eloquent argument.
