Alastor's POV 
Lucifer and I both glare at Vox. I don't want to see his face here. This vacation is going to be the death of me. I know Charlie is trying to help and I support her dream, but this is just going to end badly. I see Vox's eyes land on Andro then go back to mine. He better not even try to hurt my son. 
"Alastor." 
"Vox."  
"Look, Al. I'm sorry." 
"No you're not," Velvette says, walking into the room on her phone. "You just want to get back the stupid deer, fucking twink." Vox now looks annoyed. 
"What is she doing here?" Angel asks, pointing at her. 
"I live for the drama these two are about to cause, babes. Also being at the tower alone is lame as shit since Val isn't there anymore." She takes a selfie of herself, posing with the peace sign. 
"Is it okay if she's here?" Charlie asks her fathers with hope. Lucifer looks at me. 
"It's fine, dear. We get along quite fine. Who do you think makes the outfits I get for your father or Andro?" Velvette looks up from her phone and at me. 
"I've always wanted to meet the little guy Al was getting clothes for." 
Vox stares at me. Velvette boops Andro's nose and he giggles. She threatens Vox that if he touches him, she'll kick him out too. Good to know she's on mine and Luci's side. I feel someone nibble on my ear. I look up at the King, who is in fact nibbling on my ear. 
"Dad, what are you doing?" Charlie asks. Lucifer looks at his daughter, my ear still in his mouth, and blinks a couple times. Everyone looks at him. He takes my ear out of his mouth and sits down. Not making eye contact with anyone. He sways his little feet a bit. 
I look at the embarrassed King then back at Vox. Vox raises an eyebrow at us. Velvette already has a photo. Charlie is confused. Angel smirks at Luci and Husker rolls his eyes. Vaggie is unsure what to do here. The awkward silence fills the room. 
"Right. I'll just uh...show our newest members where they'll be staying," Charlie says with a nervous smile. She takes Vox and Velvette away. I look right at Luci. 
"So, what makes you think you can just bite my ear, my dear? I've allowed you to touch them when you please but I don't remember allowing you to use them as a snack." 
"I had an urge. I'm sorry."
"An urge? To eat my ear?" 
"I don't know. It looked tasty." 
"Yum yum," Andro says. 
Angel starts laughing. Lucifer plays with his fingers and stares at them. Continuing to not look at anyone. He curls his toes then straightens them again. He repeats this over and over. He falls awkwardly against my side. I wrap an arm around him. 
"Are you hungry, dear?" I ask the King. Luci nods. "Do you want me to make you something?" He nods again. I chuckle. "Okay, darling." I pick up Luci and take him to the kitchen. I set him on the counter and handed him Andro. "What do you want?" 
"I'll eat anything you make." 
"Alright then, my Lord." I pull out a pan and some ingredients. Luci plays with Andro as I whip up some pancakes for my two favorite little demons. 
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable or mad." 
"You didn't make me mad, dear. Or uncomfortable. Just a little weird that you tried to eat my ear." 
"I didn't really wanna eat it. Just nibble on it. Put it in my mouth. What are you making?" I hand him a plate of pancakes and a fork. The fallen angel gasps. "You know me so well." He smiles at me. I clean up my mess and sit with Luci. He eats his pancakes with joy and I watch my little husband with a gentle smile. Luci occasionally feeds Andro a small bite, who eats it with joy. Lucifer yawns and ends up falling asleep against me. 
 "Let's get to bed," I say. I pick Luci and Andro up and walk to our room. I change Luci's and Andro's clothes to matching duck pajamas. I place them under the covers and join them once I have my nightwear on. I couldn't fall asleep though. Something feels off. Like as if something is about to happen. I can't shake the feeling away. I lay here quietly with my fawn sleeping on my chest. I summon a book in my hand and read. 
Once morning came, I set down my book. I'm almost done with it. I gently slid Andro off me and out of bed, careful to not wake Lucifer and Andronicus. I kiss Luci's forehead and slip out of the room, not bothering to change my nightwear, and go into the kitchen for a cup of coffee. My ears lay flat on my head, but my smile still remains. And it always will. 
"You look like shit," Vox comments as he leans on the counter, drinking his own cup of coffee. 
"Never been better," I say with a rigid smile. I grab a mug and start a pot of coffee. I can feel him staring at me. "Stop staring before I make you." Now I feel guilty. I told Lucifer I would sleep, but I didn't. He's going to kill me if he finds out. IF. Just got to keep quiet about it. 
"Al, are you getting enough sleep?" 
"I just need coffee." 
"You need to sleep. When's the last time you had a good night's rest?" I stay silent. "Al. You're going to faint from exhaustion if you keep this up. That's why I made a sleep schedule for you when we were dating. You can't deny that it helped." 
"Don't act like you care. You only worry about yourself. I'm not going to fall for your games." 
"Al wait-" 
I leave the room through my shadows and go back into mine. Andro is currently waking up Lucifer by shaking him and crying. 
"Andro, what's wrong?" I ask, shutting the door and rushing to him. Luci sits up and looks at the fawn, sleepy and concerned. 
"Papa, where'd you go?" He sniffles and wipes his eyes. I pick him up and sit on the bed. He wipes his remaining tears on my clothed chest. 
"I went to get some coffee, dear. I'm sorry if my disappearance scared you. But I'm here now. My apologies." I hug him and he tries to wrap his little arms around me. I can feel Lucifer's jealous eyes looking at us. 
"I love you, Papa." 
"I love you, too." I look at Luci, who crosses his arms and mouths 'favorite'. I flip him off and stick out my tongue. He silently, but dramatically, gasps and mouths 'you bitch'.
