I forgive you, I forgive me

[servingfather]

Who: Michael and Lucifer
When: Backdated to Thursday
Where: A random apartment and then the bowling alley
Summary: Reunited after a huge fight two siblings bond over a human game
Warnings: Genderswitching, and well, it's Lucifer. :|


[Today was an experiment. Not like the last one Lucifer decided to pull but something a lot safer for the general public. Michael had been bowling before but it hadn't lasted long and he'd been kicked out after four throws, thirty shattered pins, one destroyed lane and a lifetime ban. It wasn't even about bowling either.

No, today was about being with his brother after weeks apart after their fight. Reconnecting and just having fun.

Even though Michael had been banned from the alley it wasn't like he didn't have ways around it. So here he was, looking small, feminine and rather helpless to every stranger he met. "Mikaela" is standing in their temporary living room.]

What do you think?

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer had been drawing stick figures in the dust on the wall, but he turned when he heard his brother--sister?--and smiled. He walked over, and ran his finger down her nose, leaving a white chalky line of dust.]

Ooh... I like it. They'll never know it's you.

[farfromheavn]

[Either one works, it's not as if Michael cares. She lifts a hand to rub her nose clean on her long sleeved shirt. Well, it's a bit odd having to look up this much now that she's much shorter than Lucifer.]

As long as we don't break anything they won't suspect a thing.

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer, childish as ever, swipes his finger against her throat and changes his form, too.]

If we do break something they can't track us down. Did you learn how to dance while I was gone?

[farfromheavn]

[Giving him a stern look that doesn't really have the oomph behind it.]

If they do we can always erase their memories. Dancing was not on my list of things to do.

[thelightbringer]

It should've been. I learned how for-- [you] from Mary.

[She takes Mikaela's hand and holds it out, then twirls under her arm, demonstrating something Mary had done.]

[farfromheavn]

This is why I should just leave the list-making to you. [Because obviously everything on her list is things that could be taken off a brochure. Mikaela doesn't call Lucifer on the slight slip-up.

She lets her sister move her arm and watches the twirl.]

[thelightbringer]

[She finishes the maneuver, and turns to guide Michael through it as well.]

This is the only thing about animal bodies that makes them worth having.

[farfromheavn]

[Mimics her sister's movements and allows her to guide her through it.]

I'd much rather not have to be stuck in one, to be honest. [Mikaela can say she loves the humans but being one? That's a whole different story.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer keeps her moving through all the steps Mary had taught her. She even dips Mikaela, and smiles at her wickedly, holding her like that for a moment.]

Someday, we won't have to be.

[farfromheavn]

[It's not hard to go through the motions, humans have been dancing a long time and while she's never done it before she's at least seen it before. Mikaela doesn't struggle when the dip comes or even when Lucifer smiles at her that way.]

Good. An average human's life tends to get monotonous even after a few weeks. [Meaning: his days were boring without Lucifer.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer just looks at her for a moment, relaxing a little in temperament if not physically. There's a whisper of Grace against Michael's as she sets her right again.]

I can't have you getting bored.

[farfromheavn]

[She smiles, a small one but yet so very real. In response her Grace trembles at the touch. It seems as if it's been so long since Michael's been anywhere near another angel to have this kind of contact and he hadn't quite gotten used to Lucifer yet after all the changes before their falling out. Yet she doesn't say anything and allows the contact.]

I'm holding you to that in the future.

[thelightbringer]

Hold me to any wild idea I have.

[She wants more--more assurance, more sign that this isn't going to explode into another fight. More contact, to remind her that this is real. But she doesn't dare, not after that repeating week, and she looks away.]

Let's get bowling.

[farfromheavn]

Don't worry, I will.

[There are just...some lines Lucifer can't cross at the moment. Asking him to turn his back on God is one of them - not while he's still so confused about it. For now though she links her arm through her sister's like she's seen other girls do.]

I'm also curious as to how many free drinks we can get looking like this.

[With that Mikaela's moving them through the ethereal plane until they're standing outside of the bowling alley. Don't want people inside staring just yet.]

[thelightbringer]

How bold are you feeling, sister?

[She has a horrible idea.]

Because if it's drinks you're after...I can get them to buy us half the bar.

[farfromheavn]

I wasn't really interested in getting buzzed but now I'm curious what you have in mind.

[Michael did say he'd try new experiences and anything his brother came up was definitely new.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer taps a finger to her chin, and then starts rearranging their clothing, showing cleavage.]

First, we find some gullible men. Then I get possessive. Then they buy us drinks to 'loosen us up'. Simple enough, right?

[farfromheavn]

[There's a moment of debate over this suggestion and she doesn't do anything when Lucifer fusses with her clothes.]

That's all it takes? [She should not be surprised.]

[thelightbringer]

Easy. You'll have to follow my lead a bit, but nothing difficult.

[She holds out her hand for Michael's]

Shall we?

[farfromheavn]

[She takes Lucifer's hand giving her sister a nod of her head.]

I'm ready.

[thelightbringer]

[Once they're inside, Lucifer keeps hold of Michael, but casts a decidedly welcoming smirk at a pair of men near the pizza bar. She finds them a spot at the back.]

Just keep glancing over at them.

[farfromheavn]

[Michael will do one better. After glancing at them she leans into her sister and giggles. Occasionally he'll watch humans when he gets bored. :\]

Human mating rituals get stranger as the years go by.

[thelightbringer]

Humans deliberately poison themselves; is it any surprise they're becoming slower?

[But Lucifer is forced to smile in a way that doesn't suggest she's mocking anyone, because the men stroll up to them, nervous but confident they have an in.]

[farfromheavn]

[If one didn't know better they would say Michael's shy, innocent smile was real but it doesn't quite reach her eyes all the way. From the way the men situate themselves in front of them it's obvious they were here to check out girls in hopes of getting lucky. She greets them by claiming her name is "Mikaela" - just as shyly but seemingly interested in what falls out of their mouths.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer changes her name to 'Luciana', and to her credit doesn't react when one of the men jokes about 'I love Lucy'. The men buy them a basket of french fries, and drinks to wash them down.

Lucifer begins running her fingers up and down Mikaela's back, silently staking her claim, which only entices these men further.]

[farfromheavn]

[Michael's heard of the show but its existence is all she knows about it, but she still manages to smile.

While Michael doesn't mimic the act she does lean slightly into the touch, as if it's an unconscious reaction. The men eagerly buy them more alcohol when their cups go empty.]

[thelightbringer]

[Lucifer shows off with Michael when it comes time to bowl. She holds her sister's hand and they roll the ball together, and still get most of the pins down. The men throw deliberate gutter balls.

Lucifer takes to sitting on Michael's lap as they wait their turns, and when the men are watching she can be found absently tracing Michael's lips with a slim fingertip.]
