As tempting as it was to just stay in their little vacation bubble at sea, Duke and Octavia did have things to do back in Fandom now that the school break was over, so the Cape Rouge chugged back into port in the late afternoon to dock at her usual slip.

It was immediately beset by porgs.

"Alright, alright," Duke said, a laugh underlining the exaggerated annoyed tone of his voice. "I know, I know, how dare I exile you from your homes. I'm a cruel, cruel man."

"Octavia, please," Lucifer said, recoiling dramatically. "I was only offering to sleep with the man, not throw a knife at him."

okteiviakom: ([neu] head on straight on)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Still," Octavia replied, heavy on the raspy drawl.

"I have never," Lucifer said primly, "Left anyone unsatisfied."

"I'm sure," Octavia replied, sounding awfully sarcastic for something that actually wasn't. "Just seems like one of those things where just you offering could make him lose his shit again."

"What, is he some mad Duke-worshipping stalker?" Lucifer asked. "Is that it?"

okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah that'll suck)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Probably not," Octavia relented with a little eye roll as she leaned back against her hands. "I think he just thinks I'm a psycho --" Getting called Crazy Knife Girl had kind of stung. "-- and Duke sucks because a mistletoe kiss didn't mean anything."

Lucifer sighed. "Really?"

Octavia shrugged.

"Probably."

"Why do humans always make these things so bloody difficult on themselves?" Lucifer said.

Date: 2020-03-10 06:09 pm (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([pos] oof)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Because it's the only way we know how?" Octavia offered.

With some irony, yes.

"Your lives would be so much easier if you didn't keep getting so caught up in who was dating who," said Lucifer, completely ignoring the fact where some of their recent arguments could've been construed as such.

Octavia didn't miss it. You could sort of tell by her dry little, "M-hm." Though he probably couldn't, considering he didn't catch it even as he was saying it.

"Yeah, it's weird how that's so important to some."

"One kiss doesn't make a relationship," Lucifer said, "Or I'd have hundreds of girlfriends. It'd be a massive pain."

"What, there's something great Lucifer can't handle?"

"I enjoy being a perpetual bachelor, thank you," said Lucifer, which was a lie, but he was trying to convince himself very badly that it wasn't one.

okteiviakom: ([neu] no srsly queen)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
Octavia wasn't going to poke at it - this time, anyway.

"Sure," she said. "Though I think having hundreds of girlfriends sounds about the same as being a bachelor."

"You'd think, but they'd all want gifts and wooing and, well, there's a limit on how big even an orgy can get."

"Gifts and wooing?" Octavia asked, one eyebrow raised. "Really?"

Date: 2020-03-10 07:19 pm (UTC)
my_own_advocate: (lucifer - back up a bit)
From: [personal profile] my_own_advocate
"Well, at the very least they'd all want attention," Lucifer pointed out, "And there's only so many hours in the day."

Date: 2020-03-10 07:21 pm (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([neu] I am always right)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Well, that'd teach you not to kiss so many people, at least."

Please note that wasn't actually a lesson Octavia needed anyone to learn. She truly did not care how many people others did or didn't kiss.

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Or humans could be more mature about that sort of thing. One application of the mouth to any part of someone's body is not a lasting commitment."

Date: 2020-03-10 07:34 pm (UTC)
okteiviakom: ([neu] get out of my way)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Obviously it's not," Octavia agreed. "Unless you're a barista who wants to throw a fit when the person kisses someone else."

Though in Purple-Pants Barista's defense, what they'd been doing had been more 'enthusiastically making out' rather than just 'kissing'.

"Like I said, it's bloody ridiculous," Lucifer sighed. "I mean, the whole monogamy thing you two have going on now is regrettable, but that's just the reality of life."

Octavia shrugged, glancing past the gunwale, towards the open water.

"That's the agreement for now."

"Oh, I know, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise," Lucifer said. "That was a compliment. You are both irritatingly attractive people."
