Re: Dean + open (before the Incident with Gabe)
That he knew his husband and what behaviors were positive or otherwise was good enough for Lucifer, who honestly had much less of an understanding for that sort of anxiety. Best to make sure, though. Much like Lucifer liked being sure of Samandriel's well being. His particular angel was in amazing form tonight though, and hardly needed Lucifer to check in on him (although he probably wouldn't have minded, either).
It was the way that Dean straightened that only made Lucifer more prepared to give a little more touch, running the curve of his thumb against Dean's spine, all the more intimate once they were turned to face each other. "I might have been told as much once or twice," he agreed mildly. "But I rarely take stock of other's opinions." Clearly, he was teasing.
