The Cape Rouge, Port of Fandom, Monday Afternoon

[okteiviakom]

Maybe Octavia was still trying to cling to some kind of a vacation vibe. Or maybe it just genuinely felt like the kind of day for her to sit out on the deck of the Rouge with a book in hand.

Either way, there she was, after the weird water-based class. Reading, while a few of the ship's porgs waddled around. So far, they seemed to have taken the hint that the book was not something edible, and therefore shouldn't be that interesting to them.

[ooc: Open, though may be occasionally slow due to recuperating from work. ET: Goes NSFW wayyyy down in the comments.]

Comments

"I've learned from two of the best," Octavia murmured against his neck.

[my_own_advocate]

"I hope you're not insinuating Duke is good at keeping anyone on their toes," Lucifer chuckled.

However tense he'd felt before this, he felt utterly relaxed now.

[okteiviakom]

Soft snort. "I'm insinuating he knows things that could be used for that."

[my_own_advocate]

"Better," Lucifer decided. "He's much too ridiculous otherwise."

[okteiviakom]

"Says Lucifer Morningstar."

[my_own_advocate]

"What? It's true!"

[okteiviakom]

"Still pretty rich coming from you," Octavia retorted, and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

[my_own_advocate]

"I really don't know what you're hinting at," Lucifer huffed.

While hugging her a bit tighter again.

[okteiviakom]

"Not hinting anything," Octavia rasped. "I'm outright calling you ridiculous." So there. She pressed another kiss against his cheek, though. "But luckily, you're also attractive."

A beat, and her voice went a little lower.

"And delicious."

[my_own_advocate]

At least that mollified any sense of protest quickly.

Lucifer grinned. "Why thank you," he said. "I try my best."

He made sure asparagus was a 'sometimes' food.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a soft huff, and let her head drop against his shoulder again.

"That was nice," she murmured. "Well. I don't know if 'nice' is the right word, but..."

He knew what she meant.

[my_own_advocate]

"You certainly enjoyed yourself," Lucifer said, his smile pleased and smug.

[okteiviakom]

"And you didn't?"

That was definitely not what he was saying.

[my_own_advocate]

"Oh, I did," Lucifer said, looping some of her hair behind her ear. "But watching you was half the fun."

[okteiviakom]

"Why?" Octavia asked. There was a sighy quality to it, because look, she was just really into people touching her hair, okay?

[my_own_advocate]

"You never fail to throw yourself at whatever you do wholeheartedly," Lucifer murmured. "Including when what you're doing is me."

He kept his fingers moving idly, drawing more loops just past her ear.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia's eyes slipped closed.

"Well," she murmured. "If it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing well. And making you feel good... It's worth it."

[my_own_advocate]

"You have no idea how beautiful that dedication is," Lucifer murmured. "I could watch you do anything with that kind of commitment."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia breathed in slowly.

Then exhaled. "I... believe you."

[my_own_advocate]

"Good," Lucifer said softly.

He kissed her hair.

[okteiviakom]

That felt much nicer than it had any right to.

"And I really am sorry about being a dick, earlier."

[my_own_advocate]

"We were both dicks," Lucifer said, "And I, for one, have already forgotten about it."

[okteiviakom]

"Just wanted to say it, anyway," Octavia murmured, and opened her eyes just enough that she could press a kiss to his cheek. "Part of trying to be better."

[my_own_advocate]

"See," Lucifer said, half-teasing. "Oh so committed to anything you do."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia snorted softly again, and pressed her forehead to his.

"Guess I can do that with more than just sucking all the energy out of you."
