adam milligan, lucifer

WHO: Adam Milligan & Lucifer (as "Lucy")
WHAT: Lucifer wants to try and be nice to Adam, but Emma threatened him with pain of death if he bothered him. So instead, he's going to do it as someone else. That doesn't count, right?
WHEN: December 7th; Afternoon
WHERE: The Local Chinese Restaurant
RATING: PG
STATUS: In Progress

It had been a matter of a few days worth of tracking, staying cloaked and just out of sight as he watched the young man get on with his business. To be fair, it wasn't really much. Apartment and food was all he seemed to do. He didn't even look to be going to visit family or really talking to anyone. That wouldn't do. It wouldn't do at all. And as Lucifer continued to watch, he had slowly devised a plan to try and at least get Adam Milligan to start breaking out of the rut he had dug for himself.

It started simple enough. Lucifer had just had to figure out which restaurant Adam was going to go to on a certain day. Following him long enough had yielded a pattern, and Fridays were almost always Chinese nights. Step two was waiting at the restaurant until his order came in, paying special attention to exactly what was on it. Step three had taken some preparation, devising an appearance that wouldn't reflect on any of the people already here that he knew of, but it had been well worth it when Lucifer... Lucy had placed an order identical to Adam's and sat down to wait for the young man to come in.

Odd little coincidences like this sparked conversations all the time, right? And no healthy young man could resist talking to a pretty young girl. Lucifer was sure that that was going to work. And maybe, once Adam had an outlet, he'd stop being so closed off from everyone else. It was a perfect plan as far as he was concerned, and he was sure it would go off without a hitch.

Adam was smiling. It was the sort of thing that didn't happen often and certainly not without a really good reason, and Lucifer liked the idea that he was a good enough reason to smile for. Well, Lucy, not him, but it sort of amounted to the same thing in the end. At least, in Lucifer's mind. It was all going to work out, cure Adam of his phobia of him and teach him that there were things out there in the world that he had to be prepared to accept should they come to him. Be in a pretty girl or just the opportunity to have a bit of fun, there was no reason that he should be afraid of any of that here.

Sure, it was occasionally crazy here, sometimes even to a dangerous degree, but altogether, there was way more to embrace than there was to avoid.

"He who hesitates loses," Lucifer said with a playful grin before sticking his tongue out at Adam before plopping himself down at the closest picnic table with a laugh, making a good show of having to catch his breath as he flopped his head down on the wood. "Then again, she who throws her all into things ends up exhausted as the end of them, so I think it balances out. What do you think?" Lucifer asked, lifting his head back up and glancing back at Adam before patting the area of the bench next to him. "Come on. I'm not going to bite."
