He Chose You Fluff:
———
“Mama?”
You glance up from the little table, pausing mid-wipe of the sticky apple juice staining its surface after Charlie had abandoned her carton.
You find your daughter peering through the arched French doors, little palms and dotted nose pressed against the window pane. “C’n we go outside?”
At first you smile, knowing that your daughter’s nursery is just above the palace garden. It may be the safest place in all of Hell, and also one of Charlie’s “favoritest” playgrounds, per her own exclamation not a week ago.
“Of course, muppet.” You say as you resume cleaning what’s left of your little brunch date. “Do you wanna pick more daffodils for Daddy?”
“No, not the gard’n. Outside.” The toddler turns on her hooves to look at you with wide, ruby-red eyes.
You stop again, but your smile fades. “Outside? Like… outside the gates?”
“Mm-hm!” Charlie nods enthusiastically, overlong hair bouncing on her shoulders. “Let’s go!”
She’s already toddling over to you, hand outstretched to take yours. And it takes you a moment to stop stacking cups and plates and putting away the toys that your daughter had insisted join you while you had “mommy and baby” time.
Your mind is practically sluggish trying to come up with something to say. Idly, you know that beyond the garden under Charlie’s tiny balcony, glints and gleams of the magically-enforced gate are visible behind carefully plotted ancient trees. It shines perpetually with the crimson sun as well as the swirling quasar of Heaven’s taunting light. It’s always there, even when Charlotte isn’t in her room but playing in your estate or being carried around as her you and Lucifer go about your day.
A twinge of anguish brings a crease to your forehead as you imagine how many times your child must’ve looked directly at the gate with interest. All at once you’re picturing Charlie being older and resenting that barrier, not understanding why the Morningstar family relies on it so damn much. Wishing she didn’t have to be kept in. Likening it to a cage.
(It’ll be even worse than when your daughter asked why she didn’t have any wings when you and Lucifer both did.)
Your hands uncurl from the stuffed animal you’d been holding as you sigh, slow and deliberate. You look back at Charlie, already hanging off of you, waiting with a smile on her face.
She tugs at you and it feels like nothing. You exhale again, mentally chastising for getting too far ahead of yourself.
“Hmm,” You make a show of thinking long and hard about the request as you rise from the floor. “Why don’t we ask Dad first? See if he wants to go with us?”
“Ok!” Your daughter grins, leaping onto the tips of her hooves and holding her chubby arms out. You pick her up and sweep out of the room, what’s left of the mess forgotten as you go.
“Daddy!” Charlie calls out. It’s too loud and too close to your ear but you snicker as she continues to chant. Lucifer is probably on the other side of the castle, but the daughter of the Devil is nothing if not overly excitable.
You have high hopes that Lucifer will turn that excitement into distraction from the idea of leaving the safety of the palace for now.

qcharlie and qfoolish's conversation on the way to the club fucking got me dude. like foolish flat out shutting down charlie's attempts at flirting, and having a genuine heart-to-heart with him as a result. foolish, the person who is notoriously bad at dealing with grieving people, actually getting to charlie and comforting him, and right off the heels of roier saying charlie was meant to be alone. saying that I think you and mariana CAN make it work, actually. charlie talking about how he just feels numb, and how he wishes it felt like there was a hole in his heart, so he knew he could at least try to fix it with SOMETHING. foolish encouraging him to start taking little steps to "get his groove back." I think charlie needed that.
