((Sorta forgot it was Thursday sorry this is late))

{Lucifer's pov}

I wake up at six and get ready. I go downstairs to the lobby and wait for Michael at 6:30 like yesterday, only today he isn't early. I wait, and wait, and wait. Once it gets to seven I decide to go and see if he's ok. I go to my apartment and go up the fire escape and I see that the window is open. I step inside, no Michael. I notice that the door to the bathroom is ajar. I open it and there he is, on the floor in a pool of blood.

"Michael?" I say bending down. I check for a pulse but there isn't one.

"Michael!" I scream. Now I'm sobbing. Why couldn't I save him? Why did this have to happen? Why?

I wake up gasping for air and in a cold sweat. I look at my phone, it's six. I jump out of bed still in only my boxers and hurry out the window up the fire escape. Michael's window is open and I hop inside. The bathroom door is ajar. No, no, no! I open it and see him standing in front of the sink. He looks up into the mirror and screams.

"Lucifer! What in the hell are you doing here?" He asks spinning around.

"I..I..nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were ok" I say.

"I'm good thanks" he says with a sarcastic smile. I see his cheeks go red and then I remember I'm not wearing a shirt. But then I notice him not so subtly checking me out.

"Are you checking me out?" I ask, cocking my head to the side. His cheeks go even redder.

"No! No, why would I be doing that?" He says looking up and putting his hand on the back of his neck. He's so adorable when he's flustered. I decide to play on this a little.

"I mean I'm not blaming you, if you were shirtless I'd be checking you out too" I say with a smirk as I look him up and down.

"I...um..what?" He stutters. I laugh.

"I'm just messing with you, although I'm not lying. Get ready for school I'll see you in a bit" I say and leave out the window. Today is gonna be a good day.

{Michael's pov}

What just happened?! Ok, maybe I shouldn't have been so obvious when I was checking out his abs but I couldn't help myself! But he said he would check me out too. So...what does this mean?

Let's add this shit up. The first day he met me he said he didn't want to be friends with anybody else. Then he gives me a nickname. Then everything that happened last night and now this? Does he....like me? No he couldn't possibly. No one likes me as a person let alone romantically. But normal, platonic, no homo friends don't behave like that? I'm gay, obviously if you didn't know that by now. And I like him obviously, so is it possible that my emotions are clouding my judgement? Maybe I should just make a move? No, I can't. I just can't.

I finish getting ready and head downstairs to see Lucifer waiting for me still with his bed head.

"Ready?" He asks. I nod and we start the walk to school.

The walk was entirely silent, when we arrive we meet up with Charlie and Kevin. We start walking through school and he still hasn't said a word to me.

"I need to get something from one of my teachers, will one of you come with me?" Kevin says finally breaking the silence.

"Sure I'll come" Lucifer says and they walk off together. He's probably just trying to avoid me.

"Well that was weird, he seem different to you?" Charlie asks.

"Yeah, I think he's avoiding me" I say. She raises an eyebrow.

"And why would that be?" She asks.

"Well, I think I kinda freaked him out yesterday by telling him about my..um...problems. He also sorta flirted with me this morning and I'm really confused" I reply. She smiles widely.

"I ship it!" She squeals. Ship? Oh right, the Johnlock thing, that's what it's called.

"Do you think he actually likes me?" I ask.

"I'm not entirely sure yet but I can work on it. I'll do a little light observing and stalking, just to be sure" she informs me.

"Thank you, really" I say.

"No biggie, ships are my life. And if I can help them become canon then I will do it!" She says triumphantly and I laugh. We continue to walk through school. Who knows, maybe Lucifer does like me, maybe he's right, maybe he will save me after all. Or maybe I'm just beyond saving....

By the end of the day Lucifer finally talks to me again. We walk home with light conversation. When I get in the door of my apartment I see my father sitting on the couch.

"Welcome home" He says with a sickly sweet voice.

"What's going on?" I ask walking past the couch but he grabs me by the back of my shirt.

"I'm going to visit your mother's family. I'll be gone for a week. Don't burn the house down. I would say don't have any parties but you have any friends" he says with a laugh and shoves me to the ground. He gets up, grabs a bag, and walks out locking the door. I've got one week. One week of total freedom and no abuse.
