Catelin felt someone playing with her hair making her groan a little in annoyance as she turned her body and started to travel to her dreamland again but again a hand started caressing her head making her slowly detach her eyes.

She looked at the wall in front of her blinking before turning her head and as soon as she did her eyes met with the familiar light hazel ones making her return the smile he was shooting her.

"Good morning Catey." Her eyebrows went up in surprise. Kid Lucifer. After so many days he finally appeared. It's been a week normal or this Lucifer has appeared.

Aggressive Lucifer had been with her for this whole week. It was almost like he didn't want to leave her. Last night when he held her closer there was something in his eyes she witnessed.

Fear. He was fearing her trying to leave him or get rid of him. Because for him it's not Lucifer instead it's someone else and that personality of his has his own mind.

She held him closer and assured him once again that she wouldn't leave him. The night went away with him hugging the life out of her and her trying to assure him with her warmth that she is near him and wouldn't go away.

She smiled at the kid Lucifer and ruffled his hair making him scrunch up his nose like a kid not liking her playing with his hair.

"How many times I have to tell you to not mess my hair like that. " He said pouting like a kid making her chuckle.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Lucifer looked surprised yet let his head be buried in her crook closing his eyes. Catelin held him closer closing her eyes as well.

He tightened his grip on her body as he flushed her tiny frame against his muscular one holding her tightly in his rugged embrace. This little act of assuring him without saying anything flared his insides.

It shows she understands his eyes. The way he begged for her warmth through his eyes he was doubtful if she would understand his desperation but she did. And held him extremely closer to her.

She let him snuggle in her crook as he started taking deep breaths drinking in her scent. While Catelin just let him hug the life out of her as she needed him closer to her as much as he wanted.

"Lucifer." She mumbled but got no response from him making her frown. She looked down at him to see if he's awake and he was wide awake.

"Lucifer." She said loudly this time and even tried to pull away from him but he didn't let her go instead hugged her more tightly. She frowned at him not responding to her but then realization hit her.

She closed her eyes and bit her lower lip in nervousness. She didn't want to say it but she knew this stubborn beast wouldn't listen to her.

"Babe." She mumbled lowly.

"Yes." He replied making her smile in amusement and shyness. So he was waiting for her to say this. This cunning beast. She cleared her throat before saying.

"I was actually thinking how about we go out somewhere." She said making him pull his head away from her crook and look into her eyes.

"Where?" He asked her as his innocent eyes stared into hers. Who can say he's the same Lucifer she met last night? That scary guy who knows nothing but to shoot darkness at her.

"How about an amusement park?" She said smiling at him while Lucifer frowned like he didn't like her suggestion.

"How many times I have to tell you I am not a kid? I don't want to go to that kid playing area." He said pouting angrily but his cute face only made her smile at him.

"Come on not only kid goes to that place many adults do too. It's just an enjoyable place. I really wanted to go there but if you don't want to then it's fin--"

" No no. We will go don't worry." He said cutting her words as he saw how her eyes sadden at his denial. She smiled at him kissing his cheek before jumping off the bed.

"Ok then go get ready I am going too. After breakfast, we will go ok." With that, she ran to her room to get changed leaving the frozen man there.

He touched his cheek as a small childish smile appeared on his lips. Suddenly his smile turned ridiculous one when he heard a voice in his head.

Why the fuck she likes this bitch kid? Look at him ruining my reputation. He's smiling like bitch he is because of a small kiss on a fucking cheek.

If you don't like these small actions of hers doesn't mean we don't too now shut up

Another voice echoed and again the smile returned on his lips as he started ignoring the quarreling his other own made personalities were having.

From the past few days, Catelin had indeed been really soft and careful with his every personality especially the aggressive one. Even the normal Lucifer has started feeling more secure in her presence and doesn't feel any fear appearing in front of her.

They both reached the amusement park and Lucifer's eyes sparkled seeing so many games and rides. Catelin excitedly asked him to ride the most dangerous looking species he had ever seen but for her happiness, he took a seat on the ride.

It was a rollercoaster ride. He was smiling and was in relief when the ride started as it wasn't that scary but then.

"Ahhhhh." When the ride went on extreme speed he went all scared mode and started panicking while Catelin enjoyed everything making him more disbelief.

Finally, after a torturous ride, he run out of the place and took deep breaths. Catelin patted his back to comfort.

"Fucking hell who the fuck likes that shit!" She drew back from him when she heard the familiar tone.

"Aggressive Lucifer why did you come out? It was my and kid Lucifer's time." She said sounding upset. Lucifer shot her a blank look before straightening his posture.

"First of all, it's babe for you. Second of all that bitch kid was about to ruin my reputation by puking out. And lastly, I will come out whenever the fuck I want." He said with a poker face even though his eyes were shooting flames.
