Word Count: 2k "𝖫𝗂𝗏𝖾 𝗂𝗇 𝖽𝖺𝗋𝗄𝗇𝖾𝗌𝗌, 𝖻𝗋𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗆𝖾 𝖻𝗋𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍𝗇𝖾𝗌𝗌" ━━ Ever since you were a kid, all you wanted was to be cared for.

“Once they come off the stage, we’ll jump down for the attack, and these boys’ll be…” Rumi turned to the three of you to which you all said simultaneously, “Done, done, done…”

The four of you giggled as you climbed up the stage, watching from above as the show continued on. “That’s one flaming hot Jinu!” The host said as the black haired one, Jinu, popped the hot sauce bottle out of his mouth with a wheeze.

You rested your shaky hands on your knees. Jinu huh? You knew that name too… But it was a popular name in Korea, something that almost every person you knew had. That’s probably why it was familiar, because it was common!

Your left hand tightened around the handle of your whip while your right was twisting itself to warm up your wrists. You breathed in, watching the crowd before hearing the host start to wrap up the gameshow. You smiled internally, but tried to keep a neutral expression on your face.

“Then why say goodbye, when we have extra special guests coming up?” Jinu suddenly grabbed the microphone.

“What’s happening?” You snapped your head towards Rumi, who shrugged.

“Please welcome, Huntrix!” He gestured up towards the four of you and you quickly put away your weapon. You waved to the camera, a charismatic smile on your face as you tried to hide the horrible nervousness you were now feeling.

“I LOVE YOU HUNTRIX!” Someone in the crowd shouted.

“We just wanted to stop by and congratulate our hoobaes on their debut and-” Rumi started before being interrupted by Jinu.

“And of course, play games with us! Bring out the slides!” Jinu announced, and quickly a slide with four ways appeared in front of you.

“Oh, no…” Rumi chuckled awkwardly, “We couldn’t possibly…”

“In the balls, in the balls, in the balls!” The fans cheered for you. You sat on the slide, pausing for a moment before pushing yourself off.

You slid down easily, as this time you were wearing leather shorts so you simply lifted your legs up a little bit to slide down, but the rest of them… Not so much. You flopped into the ball pit, cringing at the weird sticky warmth that clung into the pit before seeing a hand in front of you.

You looked up to see Jinu smiling at you, a flash of yellow in his eyes. You stood, choosing to ignore his hand and help the rest of your girls up instead. Jinu’s face flickered with something along the lines of annoyance and bittersweetness, but you didn’t care to think anything of it.

“This was… So great!” You smiled sweetly, looking at the crowd as Rumi, Zoey, and Mira stood beside you.

“It was truly an honor to share the stage with you.” Jinu said, his hand placed on his chest, before bowing down with the rest of the Saja boys.

“Oh no, the honor is ours.” Rumi said, the four of you bowing down as well.

“No, it was ours.”

“It’s ours.”

“Ours.”

“Ours.”

“Ours.”

“Ours.”

The curtains soon closed and the four of you got up from your bowing positions, turning your heads before following the Saja boys out the backstage.

The city was bathed in an almost green colored light, and you quickly turned your heads to see the Saja boys head into the bathhouse.

“Let’s go get these guys.” Rumi gritted her teeth. You and the others followed before Zoey gasped excitedly.

“We finally get to go to the bathhouse with Rumi!” She realized.

As you entered, the foggy nature made you slightly anxious though you summoned your weapon anyways. “Mens?” Rumi realized and the four of you groaned.

“Wow. Did you really follow us in here?” Jinu asked.

“Wow, did you really wait there to pose for us knowing we’d follow you?” You shot back, glaring daggers at him specifically.

“You think we’re just gonna let you steal our fans?” Rumi asked and as if on cue, the four of you all raised your weapons. “You’re gonna have to fight us for them.”

“Yeah, keep our hands off our Honmoon!” Zoey yelled.

Jinu chuckled, “We’re not here to fight.” The bathhouse water glowed a familiar pink, water demons rising from the rippling demonic energy. “They are.”

“Water demons?” You frowned.

“Oh great, my favorite.” Mira said sarcastically. 

“Get rid of the Hunters.” Jinu said, his hand placed on the closest water demon near him, “Then you can eat all the souls you want.

As soon as you saw one lunge at you, your whip lashed out. The end snapped with a sonic crack, splitting a demon’s head in half before it could touch you.

You twisted, rolling under a clawed swing as Mira came over and sliced it in half. She gave you a nod, to which you nodded back with a slight smile before another lunged.

You pivoted, wrapping the whip around its wrist before yanking it hard and dragging the creature toward you. Using the demon’s momentum, you slammed your elbow into its face and kneed it in the chest.

You turned, seeing Rumi go after Jinu and the rest of the boyband members. What- What was she doing? You needed her to take care of all the demons!

Before you could call out her name, three more surged in. You sliced one across the chest then stepped back with a kick to knock down the second. You crouched and spun, executing a leg sweep that dropped the third to the floor. The whip cracked down onto the demon’s skull easily.

“What’s going on with the Honmoon?” Zoey asked as more demons tore through. “It’s getting worse!”

“We can’t hold them, we need RumI!” Mira said before launching forwards at another demon. You huffed, being thrown into the wall and causing it to crash on impact.

You let out a yell, eyes wide as you coughed. You quickly stood, seeing Jinu standing on the far left and Rumi standing in the middle with the side of her jacket ripped off. You widened your eyes, surging forward before your whip wrapped around Rumi’s waist and pulled her back into the smoke.

“Here!” You handed her a piece of cloth before turning and throwing your dagger at one of the demons that was attacking Zoey. “Hurry up and get back in!”

As you ran, you turned your head to see Jinu staring at you with wide eyes. You contemplated killing him but… No. Zoey and Mira needed you. There would always be next time. You ran forward, whip slicing one demon clean across the chest. Sparks flew as the whip’s edges tore through flesh and bone. 

You landed in a crouch and rotated your torso, whip trailing into a reverse-U crack. The sharp recoil disarmed the next demon, slashing through the tendon of its reaching hand. It screeched, disappearing in a pink poof.

A demon lunged from behind. Without looking, you spun the whip, catching the creature’s leg and flipping it off-balance. In one fluid motion, you dragged and wrapped the whip, looping around its neck. You yanked it forward and a rolling head hit the ground. Hard.

You could hear your breath, the silence louder than ever, before an old man interrupted your quiet realization. “Hey! This is the man’s bathhouse. Get out of here!” He yelled. You all awkwardly filed out, your voices overlapping with apologies as you exited. 

Jinu… The memory of you locking eyes with him replayed. Why did it feel like he knew you? Why did you even think he was anything but a stranger? Was he tied to those dreams you were having… Was your weird demon side of you now controlling your dreams?

You sighed. You should really get some sleep…

- - -

You bit into a persimmon, not just frowning at their bitterness but the fact that no… Memories or dreams had resurfaced because of it. You had hoped getting unripe ones would help with remembering but it seemed as though you had been wrong.

You huffed, throwing the half-eaten persimmon in the trash before seeing a flash of blue light out of the corner of your eye. Rumi? You watched as she walked down the street, looking behind her before running faster. What was she doing?

You looked at Mira and Zoey, who were knocked out on the couch with a movie playing, before pulling up your hoodie and exiting out the tower. You wanted to follow her.

~~~

Rumi landed on one of the rooftops, unsheathing her sword to go in for the kill. After this, her secret would be safe and the Saja boys would be one less member for the other girls to kill. She ran forward, raising her sword before slicing the head of the demon easily. Only for the head to be… A mannequin?

“What?” She widened her eyes.

“Wow. I wasn’t expecting a hug but-” Rumi turned, her sword raised once again as she swung angrily at Jinu. “Jeez, jeez, okay! Calm down. I thought the mannequin was gonna be a fun icebreaker! But I see I was wrong.”

He jumped away again, dodging Rumi’s sword as she lunged at him once again. “Whoa, whoa!” He said, jumping up onto another rooftop, “Hey! I just wanna talk.”

“Talk?” Rumi furrowed her brows, pausing her movements.

“About your patterns?” Jinu offered, raising his arms up before adding, “And where’s your friend? I thought she would’ve followed you by now?”

“Stay away from my friends!” Rumi said, swinging her sword rather chaotically.

“Whoa! I could’ve told your friends what you are.” Jinu said, dissipating into a puff of pink smoke just as Rumi’s sword was about to slice through him and appearing behind her instead. “But I didn’t, did I? Because… They don’t know.”

Rumi’s breath hitched, but she didn’t falter. The two of them circled each other on the roof, waiting for the other person to strike. “Ah… I did guess right.” He smirked smugly, “Demon girls. But also Hunters.”

“Girls?” Rumi muttered to herself before tightening her grip on her sword, “How’d you know about Y/N’s markings?”

“Y/N.” Jinu repeated, his eyes glazing over just for a moment before turning his attention back to Rumi. “Let’s just say… It was a hunch. That you both were demons.”

“Just Hunter, not demon.” Rumi said, still circling Jinu.

“Then how’d you get the patterns?” Jinu asked, his voice growing more impatient.

“That’s none of your business.”

“Huh…” Jinu furrowed his brows before looking back up at Rumi, “I know what it feels like to have them.”

“Feel?” Rumi repeated. The thought made her almost laugh, “You’re a demon. Demons don’t feel anything.”

“Is that what you think?” Jinu asked, his voice rising higher as he paused his walking, “That’s all demons do. Feel. Feel our shame. Feel our misery. It’s how Gwi-Ma controls us. Do you not hear him in your ear?”

“What are you talking about?” Rumi asked.

“Huh. You’re lucky.” Jinu stated, turning away and looking at his hands. “I’ll never forget the first time I heard him. That was 400 years ago.”

“My family was extremely poor and miserable. I had a single possession to my name, an old bipa. So I busked the streets, but it didn’t get me anywhere. I was desperate. We were starving.” He said, his voice full of sadness and misery. “Then, I heard him. ‘You can’t do anything for your family. You’re not good enough for them. But I can help you be good enough’.”

“Overnight, my fate was changed. My voice was praised, even by the king himself.” Jinu smiled bittersweetly, “My family and I lived on the palace grounds. Our bellies were finally full, our clothes clean. We were happy.”

“My lover was happy.” Jinu reached into his pocket, pulling out a necklace with a small bead. He lifted it to the moonlight, watching as the tiny shards of mother-of-pearl practically glow in the moonlight. "What the court would cast aside, she wore over her heart…”

Rumi widened her eyes. Jinu, a demon, once had a spouse? She couldn’t believe it…

“But the patterns, they kept spreading until they consumed me.” Jinu tucked the necklace back into his pocket, “And I was condemned to the demon world, prisoner of Gwi-Ma for all eternity… My family lost everything. My lover was beaten and expelled from the palace for loving a bipa player. They were even worse off than before… Every day since, I’ve been haunted by the memory of failing them.”

“These are a constant reminder of my shame. A shame I can never escape.” Jinu turned to Rumi, walking towards her. He paused, raising his arm before a snap caught his wrist.

Rumi and Jinu turned to the source of light, only for the demon to be pulled away and slammed onto the ground. “Rumi!” You shouted, landing beside her, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah… I just…” Rumi caught your hand as you went down to attack Jinu. You blinked, confusion laced with annoyance in your eyes.

“Rumi?” You looked at her. She swallowed before letting go of your wrist, though you didn’t make any moves to go after Jinu. Rumi was more important than a stupid boy band demon. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

You placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her markings to glow underneath her turtle neck. You recoiled, hand markings also glowing underneath your gloves as well. 

“Yeah…” Rumi placed her hand on yours with a slight smile, “Yeah I’m fine.”

What about Wade going to a different timelime requested by the TVA years after the Time Ripper. They told him the X-men and the anchor being of that universe were in danger and he needed to make sure they survived and he got rid of the problem for good.

So Wade goes alone to avoid his babygirl having to face the alternative versions of his dead team. He gets to the X mansion and explains them the situation, tells them he is Deadpool, a mercenary sent by a time organization to save them all and they believe him.

Everything was going surprisingly well until, well, it wasn't. And how could he have not thought to ask who the anchor being of that universe was? How could he not notice the absence of a very important person there? He is still surprised (after years of not seeing that amount of rage directed at him from his Logan) to see a younger Logan get to the mansion baring his teeth at him, unseathing his claws and preparing to pounce, seeing him as a threat.

And when he does he tries everything in his power not to hurt him, evading the punches, claws, and 300 pounds of feral Wolverine and not attacking him even once. Eventually, Logan stops confused about the man's playful attitude and the voices of the X-men asking him to calm down. When he asks Wade suspiciously 'why didn't you fight back bub?', Wade just laughs and answers in a tone so soft and sweet and foreign to him 'Well, if this had happened years ago I would have indulged in some fun, I always loved taming a feral Wolvie but I can't bear to hurt an alternative version of my husband now'.

Everything got so quiet he could have heard a pin drop but Wade was solely focused on Logan, watching the similarities to the love of his life who now had some more wrinkles around his eyes and cheeks, a soft healthy body, hair almost fully gray and a sweet smile almost all of the time around him, Laura, their friends, their family. Compared to this Logan who still looked so tense, wary, ready to run.

He stays with them for weeks waiting for the attackers to get there while spending time with this version of Logan. And as the time passes the man understands why other version of him would be head over heels for the mercenary, yeah the man is so damn weird and loud and fucking annoying at times but he has never found someone who could understand him and make him feel the way he does. He starts yearning, for a person, a place he will never have cause it already belongs to someone else and he dreads the moment Wade will leave and not come back ever again. And the X-men notice it, bewildered by Logan's behavior around Deadpool, how he seems to follow his lead as naturally as breathing, how they seem to get what the other is thinking or feeling just by seeing each other and they realize Logan has never been fully theirs cause he is just waiting for someone else to bring him home.

Inevitably when the time comes, and Deadpool saves them, he doesn't even have time to react and say goodbye to the merc cause a weird orange portal opens in the middle of the war field and a blue and yellow suited hand appears through it yanking Wade away, and Logan recognizes a voice so similar to his saying 'you've taken too long Mouth, our daughter's birthday is next week, and we all miss you at home'.

Logan knows all his life he's just been a stray longing for a place to settle but at least now he can hope there is a loud mouth, sarcastic, pretty, and soft mercenary with no filter waiting for him somewhere in his world to take him home.

I apologize for any mistake, I'm not a writer and English is not my first language but I just can't get enough of these men and any of their versions being soft with each other.

love notes

@bucktommyfluffebruary, day 7. rated G.

💕

After spending more than twenty four hours together, Tommy feels almost like he's missing a limb when he wakes up without Evan by his side.

They'd stayed out past midnight to watch the meteor shower then gone back to Tommy's and collapsed into bed, hands roaming and breath hitching as they held tight to each other, whispers of I love you loud even above the sound of gasps and moans, of skin sliding on skin.

The next thing he remembers after that is being kissed goodbye, only half awake as Evan went out to work at a less than savoury hour.

Now that he's properly awake, the bedroom feels unsettlingly quiet without Evan breathing softly beside him, without his constant shifting and turning, and Tommy resigns himself to another twenty four off with only texts and maybe a call to get him through.

After allowing himself another ten minutes to mope in bed, he gets up and wanders into the bathroom, his attention immediately caught by a small yellow square stuck to the mirror.

Morning, handsome :)

read the rest under the cut or on ao3 // other days here

Tommy smiles, a pleasant warmth blooming in his chest.

There were many things that Tommy loved about Evan; to list them all would be nigh on impossible, but one of his particular favourite things was how casually thoughtful he was.

Whether it was leaving a cute Post-It on his mirror, making him a coffee unprompted or letting himself in to Tommy's house and waiting with the sole intention of making sure he ate, showered and slept after a rough shift, Evan was constantly thinking of Tommy.

And the thing was, he never made a big deal of it. He just did it, as if it was second nature to turn up in the middle of the night to feed and wash your exhausted boyfriend. As if he couldn't not leave a note on the mirror.

Tommy brushes his teeth and showers, the whole time grinning like a kid at Christmas every time his eyes catch on the slip of paper stuck to his now steamy mirror.

His smile only gets wider when he wanders into the kitchen to find another note stuck to the gently steaming coffee pot that Evan had apparently brewed for him before he left.

Still not as hot as you… ;)

Tommy blushes even as he laughs; he can picture Evan's mischievous, pleased with himself grin as he stood in the kitchen at 6am writing them all out, can imagine him sneaking around trying not to giggle too much and give himself away.

The thought only makes him laugh more.

Only makes him love him more.

By the time he finds the third note, stuck to the tub of yoghurt in the fridge, he's not sure he's ever been in a better mood.

If you think I won't miss you today, yoghurt another thing coming :)

"Did you like my notes?" Evan asks when he calls on his lunch break, sounding adorably pleased with himself.

"Yeah," Tommy says, grinning. "I loved them."

Episode 9: A Victor Emerges

[Holotape Two — Scribe Tartan recording]

Before The Mighty Bear God stood Rubricon—a humanoid rabbit, roughly four feet tall, with silver fur that shimmered like a freshly polished spoon. His eyes were comically wide and electric blue, and one of his upright ears had a jagged chunk missing. He wore a tattered brown leather duster, a necklace of teeth (charming), and an outfit that screamed "leather fetish enthusiast": pants, boots, belt, chest wrap—possibly even a leather brazier.

[Scribe Tartan snickers]

Go ahead. Ask him if he’s the Easter Bunny, or if he lays eggs.

[Fact: Rabbits do not lay eggs. But tell that to your childhood.]

"Alright. So, how do you want to approach this? RTS, all-out war, turn-based Final Fantasy style? Or a dance-off?" the Mighty Bear God asked, cracking his neck.

"We will settle this the . . . old way," Rubricon replied with a bucktoothed grin.

"World PvP? Really? You wanna go there?" Sin tilted his head.

"Yes. And when you die, I will laugh uncontrollably and plant my flag in your ass. I will not spit to lube it up either," Rubricon added, smiling inappropriately.

"Your funeral, bub. Just don’t cry ‘HAX!’ afterward," Sin growled, flexing his paws. "Also . . . you're gonna be a skid mark."

The ancient adversaries took a moment, sizing each other up like Pokémon trainers on steroids. Our faith, of course, rested in our beloved, overpowered, and obscenely sexy Bear God.

[Yes, he was wearing plot armor. No, we didn’t tell Rubricon.]

"Who’s making the first move?" Sin yawned.

"If that’s an invitation . . . then I suppose . . . I will!" Rubricon launched himself forward, his rusty, short-ass spear pointed for Sin’s throat.

[Note: The spear was also four feet long. Draw your own conclusions.]

The Mighty Bear God lazily extended a paw, caught the spear like a chopstick grabbing a noodle, and shook it—bouncing Rubricon’s head off the ground like a broken bobblehead.

“You—bastard!” Rubricon gasped.

“Yeah, yeah. Heard that one before,” Sin yawned again.

Rubricon let go of the spear and backflipped into a dramatic transformation sequence. His coat hit the dirt. He groaned—loudly and awkwardly—like a constipated walrus. Sparks flew. His eyes glowed green. His silver fur went Super Saiyan yellow. Muscles bulged.

[He definitely juiced. No way that’s natural.]

“I. WILL. KILL. YOU!” he roared.

Sin, unimpressed, tapped a button on his Pip-Boy 3000 MK IV. Music began to play.

The Bear God cleared his throat; a melodious melody escaped his lips. “We’re no strangers to love . . . You know the rules, and so do I . . ."

The Bear God Rickrolled in battle. Each verse caused the ground to quake. Each chorus, a power surge. Light danced around him, white arcs forming an atomic halo.

His minions fell to their knees.

He soared upward in a burst of silver radiance and appeared behind Rubricon.

“Never gonna give you up,” he said, backhanding Rubricon to the ground.

“Never gonna let you down,” another smack, this time launching him skyward.

“Never gonna run around and desert you,” a savage knee to the gut.

“Never gonna make you cry,” he rose above with his paws raised. “Never gonna say goodbye . . .”

He brought his might down like a divine hammer. Rubricon was sent careening through the sky like a meteor, trailing smoke and shame. The impact crater was visible from space. Probably.

Sin landed gently beside the crater and looked into the smoldering pit. Such elegance!

“Never gonna tell a lie . . . and hurt you.”

Silence. Dust. Victory!

"Well, now that that’s over with . . . who wants ice cream?" Sin turned to his cheering flock.

“Yes! That would be most lovely, your Lordship!”

How to Lose a Lucifer In 10 Days. 17 [Appleradio, Radioapple]

Step 17: Get hugged by him

They landed on the bed of the closest free room at the hotel. It was just the same as all others that would recieve the guests, so the bed had to be widened to accomodate for the two of them. The hotel wasn't designed with couples in mind. A simple flick of the wrist from the king took care of that.

Alastor sighed when there was space for him to lay on his back, rubbing his eyes. He merely moved a little when Lucifer snapped his clothes away for newly made pajamas, moved the covers out of the way and finally, a few second later, Lucifer accomodated on top of his chest. His hand found the blonde head in the dark and pet him absentmindly, grunting a little when magic covered them again. The texture of the sheets wasn't right, the natural sounds of their bayou was lacking and there was no chimney giving a faint green glow. Nonetheless, the bed didn't feel empty anymore and that alone could compensate for everything else. The clones and their games had been a nice distraction, but it wasn't the same as the real deal, not by a long shot.

"Thank you" said Lucifer, nuzzling against his chest. He took a long swift and exhaled, as if finally letting his body to fully relax. His own sweet smell was something Alastor could not stop being aware of ever since they were back from their date. "You did so well tonight, babe. I know that it made Charlie happy."

"You two teaming up against me was unfair and low" grunted Alastor with a half hearted scowl. Four sets of big yellow eyes staring at him like puppies kicked under the rain. How was anyone supposed to resist such an attack? "I hope you are aware of that."

"You were not going to listen otherwise" Alastor huffed, both recognizing it was probably true and also that he didn't care. As if that made any difference. "I didn't want to go either with a bitter note, babe. You don't think even a little about how you didn't tell the other Lucifer goodbye?"

"No" lied Alastor and exhaled between his teeth. "Maybe. Still two different cases."

"Is it?" Lucifer's hand raised to his head, lazily scratching the side of his ear. Alastor turned his head over the pillow ever so slightly to find his contact. "You know, I was kinda jelous too that Lucifer got to help you out with the baby at first."

Alastor snorted despite himself and stared down at the top of Lucifer's head, that he could barely see. As if sensing the movement, Lucifer lifted his face so his eyes reflected the small amount of light, like small mirrors.

"You are joking" declared Alastor. When his husband just kept staring, he continued, incredulous: "What did you thought was going to happen?"

Normally know that Lucifer was jelous over him would be a little treat for the ego, something to appreciate. It happened so rarely as it was, since it only took him one glance to know what Alastor felt for him. But that month had been so particularly stressing and awful that the mere idea was nothing but absurd. Suggest that he would burn down the whole hotel and dance on it's ashes in front of their daughter would have made just as much sense.

"I don't know" Lucifer groaned, laying a cheek against him "I already know you like one Lucifer so, hey, there is a Lucifer right there and I am not around so… " He shrugged under the cover, not wanting to finish the thought.

"Why didn't you say that before?" Alastor was reviwing their conversations through the chain and not once, that he could remember, did Lucifer ever had anything bad to say about his other version. Just that he trusted him to keep helping their baby and protect them if it was needed. Once again he had to confront the fact that when Lucifer wanted to, he could lie just as much as the worst of all sinners.

"Because it was stupid. I know it is stupid" The hand that was on his ear lowered to his temple, brushing his hair back gently with his knuckles. "I wanted to tell you that I get why you don't like the other Alastor. I really do. But that is not his fault, just like it's not the fault of that other Lucifer. They are both just doing the best they can" Lucifer sighed, nuzzling his face against his chest as if he wanted to bury himself there. "It's kinda funny. The first nights I was here he kept looking at me as if I could drop dead in front of him and he would not care. You never looked at me like that, not even when we first met."

Alastor could not imagine himself doing that. The first time he ever saw Lucifer he thought he wanted a fight. Then he found they were actually married, that it was a mistake brewing long before he arrived to hell and decided on the spot it was best to keep on the king's good side to keep being married. There was no real point for him in which Lucifer could mean just nothing. One way or another, Lucifer was always someone to look out for from the moment he came into this life.

"Your other version wasn't very keen on my flirting either" remembered Alastor, chuckling when Lucifer lifted his head again. "He asked what was wrong with me. Even Husk was shocked. As soon he tried to attack me, I suddenly understood why."

"He what?!" Lucifer lifted himself up by his hands at each side of Alastor, his eyes glowing red in the dark. A puff of fire came out his mouth that illuminated his face, so hautingly beautiful that Alastor was left without a breath. "Did he dared to hurt you?"

Alastor for a second could only stare back at him, hearing the beat coming of his chest. His sleep had been efectively obliterated into smitherins. He swallowed as he struggled to find his ability to speak again.

"No?" said dumbly. When Lucifer sneared, another puff of fire scaping between his sharp teeth, Alastor forced himself to shake his head before trying again. "I mean no, of course he didn't. He thought I was a fallen send by Heaven to try to take down the hotel, but never got to do anything to me. I would have reacted the same if I thought there was a threat."

"There was a threat. Him" pointed out Lucifer, not with fire this time, but his eyes still glowing.

"I still thought it could be you under a spell. Terribly confused, but remembering Charlie somehow" Alastor reached out to cup Lucifer's cheek. "When it turns out it wasn't, I probably looked at him the same way as that other Alastor did to you. If not worse."

Lucifer held the hand against him with his own. It took one blink for his eyes to come back to normal, reflecting the light in the dark.

"I am sorry" Lucifer sighed, turning his head ever so slightly to kiss the palm. "That was dumb."

Alastor rised up, holding the porcelain face of the king with both hands so he could get to his mouth easily. He licked the lips to taste his teeth and the fact they were still warmer than usual from the fire had his heart racing for a moment.

"Indeed" whispered, bringing him back to the bed, ruffling the hair on his nape with his fingers. "Don't ever stop being dumb, my love. Be jelous. Tell me that nobody else can touch me like you can. Tell me that you would destroy anyone who tries and mean it. Not even another king can have what you do. Only you, forever."

Lucifer chuckled, his smile wide and sincere.

"I was trying to say that is nice that now we can be friends with them. Being friends is good" laughed before kissing him back, lips pressing against each other at the same time. Alastor nuzzled the side of his face as he hugged him close, well aware of the muscles on his shoulders, the way his back was moving. So much power contained on that small figure between his arms could feed his insanity for millenia. Under the covers, he slipped one of his long legs to reach the side of Lucifer's thigh, almost trembling himself with need. "You got me sidetracked, babe."

"Mmm" Alastor bite softly on his ear, earning himself a most delectable little shiver from Lucifer. Only he had that power over his king. A fair trade in his opinion. His entire life for these moments. "But now that we are on this track, why deviate from it? As you said, I have been so very good tonight. I let you play with your little friend without saying a word. I should get a reward for that."

"You have and you do" Lucifer agreed, accomodating between Alastor's legs as his hands rubbed the sides of the deer demon right under the shirt of his pajama. Each button instantly coming up open until Lucifer could bury his face on the fluff of his chest without any barrier, deeply breathing him in. When he started kissing his way down to nuzzle his stomach, his breath was hotter and mixed with dark smoke. None of his shadow clones were able to do the same. "What do you want, babe? Anything, is yours."

Alastor was just waiting to hear those words. It felt like he had been waiting on them for years. The same ones that made him sign the contract to give up his soul back in Heaven, the responsible for his own falling. He knew that Lucifer meant it now just as much as then.

"Mark me" sighed, trapping the devil between his legs now. Lucifer didn't resist the pressure and lowered himself down until his stomach was against the mattress. His warm body was like furnace, a comforting heat that he wished would burn. "Use me, fuck me, fill me. Remind my body who it belongs to, my love. Do it in such a way that if that other Lucifer walked in here tomorrow, he would have no doubt about which king is the one I chose. Show everyone what only you can do. Can you do that for me, Lucifer?"

Lucifer huffed a small fire before coming in to make him taste it on his own mouth. He let the long tongue to go beyond his own, strangling it and holding it in place as Lucifer lifted his waist up, making his bottom dissapear as if they never existed. As soon his naked ass touched the bed again, Lucifer pressed a hand over his abdomen and he felt a expanding warmth, like a all wrapping hug. A faint golden glow expanded over his stomach and sides.

"To protect the baby, honey" explained Lucifer, rising up with one arm. Alastor didn't bother to point out they were probably out of risk, he knew that was going to be a losing battle.

In the other hand of the king he was holding the extreme of the golden chain attached to his shackle. The collar felt smaller than before, pressing against his throat with each breath. In all other ocassions Lucifer called upon it was for the sake of communication, nothing else, so it was always looser. Now he wanted its presence to be known, inescapable, a constant reminder. Lucifer came down to give him an impossibly soft kiss, as a spell to somewhat calm his heart. Nuzzling his cheeks against his, his next words made his soul quiver: "I am going to break you apart like a fucking twig and then have you screaming until your throat gives out asking for more. Is that what you ask me, babe? Are you sure about that?"

There was only one answer for Alastor, boiling behind his teeth with the unquestionable confidence of erupting lava.

"Yes, my love."

They were in hell, after all. It only made sense embrace the fire with open arms.

--

On the morning, the residents and staff at the hotel were greeted with a vision they haven't seen on the last few days. The little king of hell attending moving around as he prepared the breakfast for everyone else, his magic only occupying on turning pans when his hands were occupied in another. From the ovens it came a delicious smell to fresh cookies being prepared.

The king was positively beaming as he worked, humming along with the upbeat melody coming from Al's staff supported next to its owner. That and the fallen himself were the only true new additions, comfortably leaning over the counter as he kept over the king, holding a mug of scolding hot coffee between his hands. Not at all inconvenienced or bothered by the thin black tail that had wrapped itself around his exposed forearm like some kind of bracelet.

Without his suit jacket on, the slow gentle wagging of his tail up and down was out for anyone to see. It wasn't the only thing that was evident for anyone with eyes.

"Good morn…" greeted Charlie before she took on Al, gasping. She came running to see his neck, lacerated with closed wounds across it, long, deep and clearly visible over his skin. "What happened? Are you okay?!"

Lucifer's shoulders jolted in place. For a second he seemed completely paralyzed as Al just showed more teeth on his pleased smile. The music continued on, uninterrupted. It had been all his idea in the first place, so of course he didn't mind receiving the attention he was looking for.

"Good morning to you too, princess! Why, I feel wonderful if anything!" said with a sing song voice, taking her hand to give it the briefest of kisses on her knuckles. "Full of energy and ready to take on the day, my dear."

"A-are you sure?" said Charlie. Her eyes concentrated on the neck a second more before noticing the bracelets on his wrist, that he never wore before. Angel and Husk came in, attracted by the enticing aroma. "Did… you and Alastor fought or…" suggested, her voice turning small at the implications.

She had been the one to set up that the two faced each other. If anything hurtful or dangerous happened during it, then on her eyes that was her fault. Al exhaled indulgently and cupped her cheek.

"Dear, he wouldn't have landed a hit even if he intended to" said cheerfully, patting her red dot softly. "No, there was no confrontation at all last night. The game was done and then we went to bed. Nothing more exciting than that, so please don't waste your time worrying about it."

Charlie's big eyes blinked.

"But…"

Unlike her, the pornstar just needed one second to understand what was happening. Husk, likewise, just groaned the entire way to his chair and rubbed his eyes, as if he wanted to erase the knwoledge from his brain through his eyelids. Angel came to put his handa on Charlie's shoulders, moving her away.

"Charlie, sweet cheeks, I have so much to teach you" sighed and then pointed a finger to Al, as if finding a new level of respect he didn't have before. "You. They look gnarly. Were you about to pass out?"

"I have no idea what you mean" said Al with a slight shrug, smiling in direction to Lucifer.

Angel nodded his head. He let out a low whistle at at seeing the bracelets.

"Nice job, king" commented to Lucifer, who shrunked his head between his shoulders.

Thankfully for him, Angel took Charlie on the side and whispered something into her ear. Lucifer did not hear what it was, nor he wanted to know, but he could just imagine what it was and that was almost worse. Their own Charlie would know already to ignore things like that regarding her parents, wether she understood what they meant or not, but clearly this Lucifer never had his daughter used the same way. Lucifer send a mental apology to his daughter from another dimension-.

When Al came out behind him to rub his shulders, casually hugging his neck, he looked up to see the most cat like pleased smile on his husband that had been there in a while.

"You better be happy now" warned, failing to sound as annoyed as he intended to.

A big portion of the reason why was that he wasn't annoyed at all. Not in the slightest. He couldn't bring himself to that state when his sense of pride was inflated everytime he saw any marks made by him on his husband's body. The big bad scary radio demon with a reputation of untouchable carrying around the scars of their passion with as much naturality as their engagement ring was just the perfect recipe to have him sigh dreamily, to glow shinier than the sun itself at the eyes of any high ranking angel. It was a better prize that any crown, any jewell, and infinitely more valuable. He knew that Al knew as well, that is why his husband was sure that his request wouldn't go unheard of.

Al chuckled. The rumbling on his chest vibrated against Lucifer's head. The familiarity of both his proximity and his sounds relaxed him deeply. If he closed his eyes, he could almost believe that they were already back at home. Sooner or later Emily would come to greet them good morning. Alastor would have his broadcast and he could listen sat at the couch in front of his control panel, probably reading on some royal bullshit meanwhile. Maybe Charlie would come to tell them about the new activity she thought for the hotel and her tiny adorable antlers would make him wish to pet her head, as always. They could talk about the next dinner with Evelyn, prepare the menu, think of a new pun to make her laugh with.

"An acceptable amount" purred his husband, tilting his chin slightly to nibble on his cheek. "The meat is about to burn, dear."

A ding came out of the oven. Just like that, the dream was broken. They were not back home. There was still work to do before they could. In this reality, the one they were both stuck in, it did smell like he needed to pay attention again.

"Ah, fuck" Lucifer grunted, turning around one of the huge chunks of meat in the pan. Al lifted his arms, laughing softly as he went for the kitchen mitten to take out the cookies himself. He didn't really need the protection, but got used to use it anyway for the sake of their Charlie learning by example. "Yeah, yeah, very funny. This cut is yours, by the way."

"I pressumed as much" Al chuckled, putting the tray on a side to cool down.

He reached a finger over Lucifer's arm to press on the cut of meat that almost, just almost, was about to blacken. On the other fire there was another cut of deer being cooked, but his was bigger. Privileges of being married to the chef and have his child. The meat was still soft and when he brought the finger to his mouth, Lucifer followed the movement with his eyes as he started serving the plates. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, all started flying off the counter to reach the table, to the hungry appreciation of everyone else.

"Delicious" declared Al.

"That is right" Lucifer nodded to himself.

He turned off the fire of both cut. The not as big covered it up so it wouldn't lose freshness, while the other one went into a plate with some extra blood sausages on the side.

Al was putting the cookies on a plate to be grabbed on. When those were done, he went to grab the milk of the fridge.

"His little shadow just dissapeared" whispered when passing next to Lucifer.

"Oh, it did?" Lucifer served the meat on a big enough plate with one hand, rubbing his low back as they moved to the table. His tail changed from being around the arm of the demon to his waist. "Just let him have his breakfast too and then we can go."

"You know, a grown adult that can't cook for himself is rather shameful" huffed Al, sitting down.

Almost everyone was chowing down all the food or talking amongst each other. Lucifer snorted, looking up to him.

"I seem to remember someone leaving raw carcasses all over my kitchen" reminded him Lucifer, putting the meat in front of his husband and conjuring up more hot coffee for his mug. It had taken a good while for Alastor to grab a taste for actually done meals. At some point he had to have his kitchen curtains replaced because they had taken to the smell of rotting bodies. "Not to mention right now I just cook for you."

"And here I thought you were just treating to the father of your child out of the goodness of your heart. It looks like I have been mislead" Al sighed dramatically, flicking his wrist to make appear a hankerchief to put around the neck of his shirt. "I didn't know I was walking into a gotcha. Should I second guess everything now?"

Lucifer chuckled, patting the arm of Al on the table. He looked down for a moment as his index brushed under the bracelet. If someone were to take them off, they would see the yellowed marks of restraints contrasting against the dark skin. Lucifer blushed when he could feel Al slightly shiver and exhale ever so softly. No doubt remembering why they were there, just like he did. It had been a while since he had the chance to go all out with his husband that it was almost nostalgic.

"I need two hands to eat, dear" said Al, his half lid gaze betraying the calm tone of his voice.

"Sorry" Lucifer smiled, lifting his palm. As soon he did, however, he felt Al's foot locking with his under the table. Lucifer moved his chair with magic to not make any noise until their knees came into contact. He lifted a hand to brush briefly his finger against the marks on the neck. "You are so fucking hot right now" said in a low tone against his shoulder, kissing it.

"You are so clingy" murmured Al back after clearing his throat.

He cut his first bite of meat without looking at him, back straight against the chair. The perfect image of undisturbed dignity.

"Do you want me to give you some room?" Lucifer smirked, lazily rubbing the side of his husband in a small circle.

"I did't say that" Al filled his mouth with the meat, his ear going flat for a moment at his obvious enjoyment of a good meal. "You can do whatever you want."

Lucifer saw the tail wag behind him and had to actively repress the impulse to squeeze it on his hand just to see what sound he could gain from it. He would have to comfort himself remembering on the ones he already managed to get last night.

"I thought I already did" added and Al hummed, not disagreeing.

"Have your breakfast and shut up" said with a slight twitch on his smile, fighting the impulse of extending it.

Lucifer snorted. He kissed the shoulder of Al before he heard the voice of Charlie, perking.

"Hi, Alastor, good morning!"

Lucifer turned to see the radio demon coming into the kitchen, a nod of recognition dedicated to the princess.

"Hey, buddy!" greeted Lucifer, snapping his fingers to make appear the cooked meat in a plate at the table, in front of an empty chair. It was still smoking from the heat. "There is some coffee in the pot if you want. Eat all you want and then we are off."

Alastor sniffed the food as he made his way to get his coffee. Only when he had a full mug, reheated by his hand, and picked up the newspaper that Niffty had picked up for him, he turned to the chair to sat down. At no point apparently he had dedicated a look to Al, who returned the favor ignoring him as well for the sake of his own breakfast.

Lucifer grabbed some of the cookies and started eating. This was probably the most peace he could expect right now.

"So you all really think this is the one?" asked Angel, mouth full until he finished talking and then swallowed. "Back to home for good? Because let me tell you, short king, your cooking is going to be severely missed."

"Aw, thanks! We hope so at least" said Lucifer. He sighed, holding his chin on his hand. "We need to make a big announcement and celebrate properly, don't we?" commented, grinning to Al as he rubbed his back.

"Indeed" Al took a sip of his own mug. "Back at home our daughters don't know about their sibling yet" explained when he noticed the question in Charlie's eyes.

"They don't?" asked Charlie, frowning slightly.

Al shrugged.

"I was waiting to tell them with Lucifer there. I told Lucifer he could announce it on this side becuse I thought he would be back soon enough" And to enjoy vicariously with the resulting chaos the news would cause, added Lucifer mentally. As if he could forget the big laugh he had when he relied to him everyone's reactions. "In all honesty I wasn't expecting it to take this long" He ate another moutful of meat before continueing, casully. "We also need to think about our wedding, of course."

"Really?" said Lucifer, taken by surprise. When Al nodded his head simply, he smiled big and bright. "I thought you would want to wait until after the baby was born."

"All the more reason to do it sooner than later" said Al, sending him a side glance. "I want to be able to dance comfortably with our daughters and enjoy the party as it should. I think we took enough time already as it is. Don't you agree?"

"Fuck yeah, babe" Lucifer lifted himself from the chair to kiss his cheek and when sat down again, hug his side.

Al's staff emitted a soft jazz tune as he turned his head to kiss the crown of the king, giving him a pat in the shoulder before returning to his meal.

"I thought you would say that you didn't want to have a kid out of wedlock or something" commented Vaggie. "Officially, I mean."

"Oh, if anything that would be fun!" commented Al with mirth and a dismissive handwave. "It gives me an excuse to maim anyone who dares to look down upon our child because of something silly like that. No, this whole new wedding is nothing but a formality. But at least it can be a fun formality for a change."

"Well, I think is romantic!" Charlie emitted a tiny squeal. "How was your first wedding like?"

Lucifer froze instantly. He looked up desperately to Al and thank goodnes, his husband decided to be merciful for once.

"Oh, nothing that extravagant" said Al calmly. "A small ceremony and a witness. Sign our names down and done, we were married. Our lives were tied together already, so we didn't feel like making a big deal out of it" He shrugged with naturality. "If we are having a party now is mostly for the sake of our daughters getting to participate as well. We don't really need a paper to know what we are to each other, right, darling?" added, lifting the chin of Lucifer with a finger.

"Not at all" Lucifer took the hand on his and pressed his lips against the knuckles.

The smile of Al twitched slightly in a effort to contain it.

"So corny, my king" said with a half lid look.

"Always, babe" Lucifer winked an eye playfully.

A moment of silence passed in the kitchen. Charlie cleared her throat conspiciously and tried to make conversation with Husk about what he would do for the day.

"Fuck, bliss post kink is real" sighed Angel Dust, shaking his head. "I need to get into that shit again."

Lucifer blushed a bright golden. Al cupped his cheek and patted it indulgently. Alastor, who end up one chair away from the spider demon, tilted his head at hearing that.

"What does that supposed to mean?" asked, as if he was assuming it was a phrase that young people said and thought it silly already.

"Oh, I can explain!" offered Al, perking up.

"No, you can't!" said Lucifer quickly, a little too loud for his own taste. Al barely covered his mouth as he giggled. "It means waking up to have a good day!" said, glaring at Angel as if daring him to contradict him. "With your partner!" added, just in case Alastor decided to start using it himself.

Angel snickered, but only for a moment as he shrugged.

"As the king said, Smiley."

Alastor looked already bored of the rest of the conversation.

"Ah. Very well" expressed and that was the end of it.

Eventually the rest of the residents had to leave the table. Charlie moved over to Lucifer as she was grabbing the plates for Niffty.

"So… is this the last breakfast we will have together?" asked, looking down.

Lucifer rised up from the chair, enchanted the plates to float towards the tiny maid, and then hugged her tight.

"I hope so" said with a chuckle, and squeezed her harder. "But I loved meeting you, sweetie. I know your Lucifer must be so fucking proud of you and is dying to get back" He gave her a kiss on the cheek and finally let her breath again, holding both her hands. "Maybe if things turn out alright, we could visit someday! Weirder things have happened, so never say never!"

Charlie gasped, but smiled all the same.

"I would love that" said sincerely and Lucifer had to hug her again, less stronger than before but no less sincere. Now Charlie had the chance to pat his back in return as she saw beyond the king. "You are welcome too, Al. And the baby, whenever they are out! I bet they are going to be the cutest!" squealed.

"The cutest that ever was!" affirmed Lucifer, looking to Al.

"Why not" said the grey demon with an easy smile. "If the circumstances are right, a visit wouldn't hurt."

Charlie kept her smile, her hooves moving in place. Lucifer saw her face, saw everything that she was thinking all over her body and grinned.

"Babe, do you mind a hug?" asked out loud and Charlie blushed slightly, lifting both her hands.

"Oh, no, please, it's okay! I wouldn't want him to do anything that could make him uncomfortable, that is fine."

"Of course not" said Al, pulling out his chair back.

Lucifer took a step to the side, putting both his hands on his back. Charlie was still trying to reassure them that she didn't really needed it, that it was fine, he didn't have to force himself, when suddenly black tentacles pushed her towards the taller demon's front. His hug was far from being the breath stealing one of Lucifer, but it was gentle and without reservation.

"You are kind for worrying, dear, but there is no need" said Al, smiling down at her. He had more than a few years to get used to hugs from his little fawn. This Charlie, as different as she was, did not raise at all the same rejection as other people did. If she was open to that kind of contact coming from him, he wasn't going to move away from it either. "Thank you for recieving us both. We deeply appreciate it" finished, giving her a rub between her shoulder blades.

As he separated from her, he flicked her nose. Not too strong, just enough to erase the dazzed look of her eyes, replacing it with a slight frown from not expecting it.

"Now, now, if you don't mind, my husband prepared a good meal I have yet to finish" declared, grinning wide and patting her head. Only Lucifer realized that it was the same spot between where their Charlie would have her tiny antlers. "It was my pleasure meeting you, dear."

"Likewise, Al" said Charlie, sincerely. "Good luck today."

When Charlie retired from the kitchen, sending them a wave from the hallway, Lucifer came back to sit next to Al. Now it was only them two and Alastor, who had almost cleaned his plate at that point. Once his cut of meat dissapeared, her cleaned up his mouth with a napkin and gave the plate to an anxious quick Niffty.

"How you doing, buddy?" asked Lucifer suddenly. Alastor stared at him. "Ready to kick some ass?"

"I always have some space for dessert" commented, adjusting the front of his suit jacket.

Al huffed. Lucifer pursed his lips, bracing himself.

"You know, you could also just sit this one out too. That is always an option" said Al cheerfully, arching an eyebrow in direction to the red demon. "My husband and I can handle it."

Goodbye, peace. It was nice while it lasted.

"I was wondering if that shouldn't be an option for you" replied Alastor with the same tone. Because of course he wouldn't throw the towell either. "You seem to had quite the confrontation last night, my friend. Someone on your condition shouldn't be risking themselves so much out there."

"Can we not" asked Lucifer, but he may as well talked to a wall when Al just made his radiophonic laughter.

"You talking about this?" Al pointed to the scars on his neck, narrowing his eyes. "You can believe me, my good fellow. These were not part of any confrontation. A monster attack, maybe. Would you perhaps like the details of how they happened?"

"Can we seriously not!?" Lucifer stand up quickly, the chair behind him stumbling back but miraculously staying upright. He clased his hands together, eyes closed, as if praying for patience. "We are all going. We are going to get the stupid ass stone. We are all getting our wishes. Everyone is happy. End of story. Are we clear on that?"

He saw to Alastor shrugging as he turned his face away. Al had straighten up his back on the chair and buffed. Lucifer brought the chair back and exhaled, holding up his temple with a hand. He could only hope that they could get the damn thing quick and get all this mess solved already. Too long he had spend away from home, but also, he didn't know how much they could keep this bullshit going before someone started pulling tentacles to fight.

When he noticed the red flash of Niffty coming to pick up the empty plate from Al, he finally turned his gaze and offered up his hand open on the table. Al looked at it as if considering ignoring it all together, but luckily for Lucifer's nerves, the grey demon put his black claw on top, letting Lucifer to close around it.

"I will compensate you when we get home" whispered Lucifer, bringing the hand closer to kiss his fingers.

Al nodded silently, taking him at his word. It was pretty clear he still didn't like any of this, but at least seemed willing to do it without more protest for the moment and he was going to be grateful for that. Al had to spend a month without knowing if he was going to see the father of his future child, a month with another Lucifer that was just wrong, a month aware that there was a literal growing issue on his body putting a limit on how long he could keep the secret, just for the sake of not worrying their daughters. He had ample reason to be stressed out already without also adding an Alastor he didn't know or trusted into the mix. And since Lucifer was the one asking him to add the extra Alastor anyway, the least he could do was to be understanding.

He activated his other ability for a second, just to see that Al was still shinning. He was, just the same as that morning, so Lucifer let out a sigh of relief and reached out to gently kiss his lips. A subtle, tiny bit of pressure answered him back before they separated.

"Let's go" said, squeezing their joined hands.

Alastor was not having a good day. Finally putting a name to the reason of his disease did nothing to stop the unpleasantless of being sick in the first place. If anything, it probably made it worse because now he was also pissed off for ever letting himself reach such a state. For a not really, legally, but actually, in any other sense that mattered, married man nonetheless. More than 80 years of conscious living only to end up on that position, where he couldn't do anything even if he knew what to do about it.

As if all of that wasn't humilliating enough, they also chose that morning to be all over each other again. His prepared meal, for once, served as little consolation. The small smiles of sympathy that Charlie was throwing his way almost made him retire to his room, plate in hand, and just leave his shadow behind to inform him when the pair was planning to go. If he still stayed there, it was purely out of pride and spite towards that other version of himself, who would love to have that kind of power over him. Yesterday he had already give him a win dissapearing from Rosie's emporium, no way he was going to give him another. This was supposed to be his reality, not theirs, and a reality where he kept running away for something as stupid as jelousy was completely unacceptable.

So he stayed and he endured the future marriage talk. He endured seeing how close they were. He endured thinking that other radio demon, for better or worse, did not seem to do it at all for the sake of being seen like on his first appearence. The looks, the whispers, the smiles, they never deviated from focusing on Lucifer or his food. He better than anyone knew what a sincere smile on his face looked like.

That made it all a little bit worse because it didn't only hurt, but it also made him envious with a curious tint. Would be also act that way if he had just chosen someone available? That was one question that had been sitting on the back of his mind since this Lucifer started talking about his partner, about the pregnancy, and he more or less managed to quiet down by insisting that they were clearly two different demons, that what they decided to do on their world didn't had to say anything about his own life or capacity to make the same choices.

But now that he saw the demon, or fallen, in person it was harder to keep pushing that notion on the forefront. The recognition of the traits they did shared was as undeniable as annoying. Was that the same case for Lucifer after all? Was there it really inside of their king always the capacity of being like this Lucifer and he just never noticed before? If he had done it, how much things could have changed?

And why was nobody talking about those scars on the grey demon's neck? Not even Charlie seemed that concerned about them, not when she was so close to them and the other demon seemed receptive to some portion of her sentimentality. He was sure too that shirt was covering the full extension of them, probably going over the shoulder and to the chest. Lucifer could do a good job making wounds dissapear, he knew that by experience, so he honestly could not understand why was he letting his own precious pregnant partner go around in such a state. It was his imagination or the other was also limping the slightest bit when moving around the kitchen? Maybe it wasn't as noticeable as everything else, and yet it was there, no doubt about it.

Not to mention the reaction of both of them when he pointed them out. Who is ever that gleeful when about to talk about a monster attack? It was all felt just so weird. But if none were to speak, then he would have to let the topic die, lest they think he was actually concerned or something as horrific as that. That other demon would love to have that satisfaction. All the more reason to not give it to him.

No matter, he had actual important things to think about. Like all the little demons that were assisting to the auction for the wish that corresponded to him. By the time that they were there, the entrance to the tunnels was already crowded with potential buyers covering the entire spectrum of wealthness: from the low lifers of the city that were going to be outbided in five minutes, but still had to try, to better put off demon assisting in suits and lowering themselves from limos. For that encounter, Lucifer didn't look out of place looking like the bllue shark demon that Alastor had seen before already. That didn't stop him from keeping a hand on the grey demon, though, nor seemed to faze Al himself.

The stone was merely one of the relics that were going to be put in display. According to the advertisement, they weren't promoting it either like a reality changing instrument that could fulfill every fantasy imaginable. It was just a cursed rock made since Lucifer's fall that had "a fuck ton of magic power", whatever they thought that was supposed to mean.

Al checked his pocket watch.

"They should be bringing it anytime now" said as his grinn expanded, revealing more teeth that it has humanely possible. "Should I start clearing the way, my love? Just to avoid us the trouble."

Lucifer took a look around. There were some guards at the entrance, making sure that the people coming in had paid their admition ticket and were not pushing each other as they descended the stairs. Nobody had come in with any children. For some reason Alastor just knew that is what Lucifer was checking for, before he nodded his head.

"Have fun, babe" said, patting the lower back of the demon.

"Oh, I will" promised Al, dissapearing into the ground before countless tentacles started stabbing people straight through their chest.

First the richer looking demons, but later not even the low lifers were sparred. It wasn't until a dozen or so bodies hit the floor and people could not avoid stomping on them that they started rushing in.

"Grab anything you want, buddy" said Lucifer, running up to the guards.

Alastor didn't managed to hear or see what he was doing, but as he started extending his magic to open a path for him there were a bunch of shootings in the air. He looked up in time to see all the guards breaking their own necks as they fell to the ground without Lucifer putting a single finger on any of them. For a moment he could only stare at their demise, before they were covered for even more body parts, corpses and panicking people, wondering what kind of terrifying power was that. His heart fluttered in his chest as his knees went weak just thinking what other horrors he never knew before could a king hide. Was it a power that only he had or it was intrinsic to all Lucifer? He would have killed to get an answer to that.

If only weren't for Lucifer running up to him, as an incomprehensible fear tainting the agressive shark features he was sporting.

"They have angelic bullets!" yelled over all other screams. "Why the fuck does everyone have those now?! Be careful to not let them touch you! If they do, come find me immediately!"

Alastor huffed, gripping to his sense of dignity to keep his composure.

"Do not worry, your Majesty. I won't give them the chance" assured, dissapearing into the ground.

Lucifer had the collar of Charlie for that ocassion, surely because Al would not trust him with it, but it was okay. He just needed to move to the point where they were going to recieve the stone and intercept it.

But just as he was about to reach it, the darkness around him became into something else. Suddenly it wasn't welcoming him anymore, pushing him out. When he materialized again on a long hallway, some people were already running from one point to another, but he could still clearly the green eyes glowing to him in the opposite wall.

"Going somewhere, pal?" was the low, static filled, growl from the demon. "I thought the plan was to stick together."

"Just trying to help, the same as you, my friend."

They both glared at each other. Right until Lucifer appeared running between them, rolling his eyes.

"I heard them talk. They are going to call the cargo back" said, jumping to a side.

His tail flashed like a blue thunder and the head of a guard came out flying, just as the body landed on the floor and Lucifer teleported away the gun that dropped from their hands. Until the point that they died, the gun was pointing to Alastor. Neither of them had noticed by keeping eyes on the other.

"How many of those fuckers did they hire?!" Lucifer breathed in, passing a hand over his head as if to ruffle the hair he didn't have in that form. "Let's go!" called, running further ahead.

"You go down, I go up" indicated Al with a snear, dissapearing before Alastor had the chance to reply anything.

The shadow of the grey demon started moving ahead in the ceiling. Even at the distance, Alastor could see that other shadow was bigger and darker than his. It didn't even looked like a shadow anymore, it was more like a piece of voice moving. He didn't gave it more thought as he summerged in the darkness destined for him.

At some point the hallway was dividing in two points, both equally deserted as far they could see.. They had already killed enough demons that there wasn't anyone coming or going to give them a clue of where there were people. Lucifer let the collar of Charlie swing on his hand, but it wasn't reacting to any direction. Grunting with irritation, he let his eyes glow in intense red.

"There are more people on that side" said, running to the left.

The shadow on the ceiling followed him. Alastor came out from the floor and send his shadow to them, while he himself ran in the other direction. There was no real reason for him to do that, nothing else than his own impatience and not wanting to stick around with the other if he could help it. He slashed the neck of another guard on his way, encouraging him to go further.

That is when he heard the first explosion.

The sound reverberated down the tunnel, the punch of the wind and dust managing to get to him. He stayed still. They were fine. Obviously. It was obvious they were going to be fine. A fucking explosion even on a tunnel wasn't going to be enough to do anything to the king of hell itself. Lucifer was made of something much stronger than that. The mere idea was absurd. There was no reason for him to worry at all. He had his own Alastor there to take care of things. They didn't need him at all. He should keep going, get his hand on the stone, make his wish and then pretend he just lose track of it. That was an easy plan to follow. A perfect one even.

So why was he running back?! Why the fuck did his feet kept taking him away from the fucking prize? There was no rational reason at all why he should care at all to reach the cave in that of course was going to be there. His heart squeezing itself inside of his chest was being stupid, clearly, and of course none of that mattered as he increased his size to push rocks away. The only issue is that as soon he pushed them out of the way, more rocks came to occupy its place, no matter how many tentacles he called forth to take them out.

They were truly too deep in the ground. Up in the distance he could hear another explosion, just as big as the second one. At that moment, his own shadow squeezed out from between a dark space between the rocks and joined him, all of its memories passing to him.

Lucifer and Al were way ahead when the explosion happened, right after they had started taking care of more demons pointing Carmilla Camine branded weapons at them. Lucifer had time to ask where was he before the ground under their feet trembled again and even more of the way they came in was gone. His shadow had quickly come to him when sensing his distress.

He put a claw on the wall as he let him exhale, inhaling through tightly pressed teeth.

They were fine. He was fine. He knew that already. Of course he did. There was never any doubt about it. Why was he being crushed by such relenting, heavy relief? Alastor shook his head, giving himself a second to bury his fingers between his hair. This was so stupid. Everything about him and his feelings and everything was so fucking stupid. Maybe he should wish to kill that part about himself already and then maybe his head could start working properly again.

Or maybe he should move again before he could lose the chance to get that wish at all.

When he started moving, there was another separation, but there voices coming from the left so it was easy to choose it. With his shadow back with him, it was easy to pass unnoticed as he twisted necks, crushed hearts inside of chest or just threw the demons out of the way. Their walkie talkies spoke of them being intercepted and how they needed to move everything away now. There eight trucks in total that were coming in with the valuable goodies that nobody was going to purchase that day now.

Naturally, the first reaction was to slash all the tires and destroy their engines the groud up. Alastor grabbed one of the only demons that was wearing a suit and twisted his knee until he told him where the stone was. Unfortunately, unless he liked the feeling of his bones crushing against each other until the splinters came out of his skin, he didn't know where was the one relic he was looking.

Clearing the area from the drivers fortunately was easy enough, just as his shadow was looking inside the trucks for what he needed. Only two were done when the whole ground shook under his feet. This eartquake was eve worse than the explosions ever were. Alastor barely managed to hold himself to the side of the next truck when he saw up ahead the floor moving, breaking apart to give place to what looked to be a black greenish force field with tentacles moving on top. It lasted only for a moment and when it dissolved, the full demon form of Al growled to the sky. But that wasn't a form that he could recognize. His own didn't had that many black eyes blinking from old scars on his arms and the new ones on his neck. His form wasn't as tall. But more than that, his form didn't have two large decrepit grey wings coming out of the bag. The feathers looking both so fragile and sharp at the same time. On top of Al's head, his antlers had twisted and grown to surround his head like a broken black halo.

That was the full extension of his power. A monster fallen straight from Heaven.

A mere point of white and red sat on his hand as he shook all over, getting rid of the debris still stuck on him. Lucifer, tiny Lucifer, even more tiny than ever before, stand up from his hand and it looked like he was saying something, but there was no way for Alastor to hear a thing. If it wasn't for the white of the king contrasting against the dark energy surrounding Al, he wouldn't be able to know he was there at all.

Forcing himself to move, Alastor came out another truck. His shadow had already searched on it and there was a safe box that it couldn't penetrate in no matter how much it wanted to. The material it was made with rejected its magic, so it had to be angelic steels. They had already used angelic steel to move that rock around. A crowbar that was laying nearby and some smacking later, the door of the box was open and there it was.

A big heavy rock hold in place by a silicon mold around it for protection. There was nothing impeding Alastor to grab it on his hand and so he did, immediately aware that wasn't at all any common rock. For one, it was far lighter than what he would have imagined for it's size, big enough to fit on his whole hand, but also there was an energy about it that there was impossible to ignore. It's perfectly black shiny exterior spoke about an infinite pool of possibilities, about entire universes it could tap into with just wishing it enough.

He could have anything he wanted and nobody could stop him. He could wish for all his problems to be over. He could wish for even all the things he never thought were even thought to wish for, and more, and there wouldn't even be any consequences for him, not if he didn't want them to be.

Why wasn't he wasn't doing that then?

It would be so easy too. Just wish for a better reality and say goodbye to this one. Let those two to find the rock turned milky white and come back to their own home with their own means. There was still another one existing in hell. They could take that one and then everybody could be happy.

Not immediately, of course. Al was going to be pissed, for sure, and if anything that was more reason to do it. But Lucifer was going to be sad for a while. Dissapointed even to see whatever trust he had on his honor was for nothing, a waste. He would regret not having made a binding deal with him when he had the chance. It would serve him right, actually.

Only a fool would trust a demon in hell.

Only an idiot would let that happen.

One would think that the reason why hell existed in the first place would know that better than anything in all of creation.

The only reason he ever saw anything else on him was for another Al, not because of him, not because of anything he was or did. He never asked Lucifer to look at him like that. Those expectation were just forced upon him. He had no obligation, no reason to meet any of them. He didn't owe Lucifer anything at all.

To the Lucifer that laughed and sang while cooking. To the Lucifer curled in the sofa and missing his family. To the Lucifer that smiled to another demon brighter and more openly that he had done since meeting him. To the Lucifer that didn't know the meaning of the word subtle even if it hit him in the head with a hammer and didn't care, because he was just that happy to announce everyone his new child. The Lucifer that winked an eye and joked and smiled and frowned.

And yet, his mouth wasn't moving. His hands were holding the solution to all of his problem and nothing was happening.

"Alastor!" yelled Lucifer, appearing at the entrance of the truck. When seeing him standing there, Lucifer wheezed, holding his chest. "Thank fucking fuck that I found you, buddy! Did you hear those explosions back there? They lock us in a dead end with a bunch of employees so, of course, Al had the idea of just pushing through the ground to get us out, which it worked, but I am never doing that shit again if I can help it" The king sighed, holding himself to the side of an antigue frame to regain his breath. "I think I am going to be cleaning dust off my ears for the next century."

Only at that point did he noticed the collar pulling from his chest pocket. The stone of Charlie, the one that started all the mess, was pointing outright towards Alastor.

"Is that…?" asked Lucifer, holding the collar out with one hand. The chain immediately pushed him forward, making the king to almost stumble to the floor, until the presend of Vaggie knocked against the rock that Alastor was holding. As soon as it did, the collar fell again, the finding spell having fulfilled its purpose. "Holy shit" said Lucifer, a smile extending all over his face as he laughed. "Holy shit, you found it! I knew I could count on you, Alastor! Come here!"

Before Alastor could properly say or do anything, the king wrapped his arms around him and squeezed, so tight that Alastor was sure something was about to crush inside his body, if the beating traitor that was his heart didn't do it before. Along with whatever trace of sanity he had left.

He became hyperaware of the king's proximity. Did he always smelled to honeysuckles at dusk of humid day before it rained? Was his touch always that warm that it felt it should be burning but it wasn't? His muscles were stronger than iron under his clothes, but the hands grabbing his back were soft. What a horrible cumulus of wonderful contradictions.

Too bad the moment had to be ruined by a dark figure slitherin its way towards them. The next moment Alastor blinked, a huge mouth under two pure black eyes opened up in front of him. A breath of fresh blood and decayed meat greeted him like a punch to the face. He knew that if he didn't move away those teeth were surely going to close over his head and crush it.

"Babe!" yelled Lucifer, letting Alastor go to lift the rock, too happy to mind the terrific form of his partner. "Alastor found the rock by himself! Isn't that amazing? He did it without Charlie's collar too! We should have followed him from the beggining."

For a second it seemed that the grey demon didn't know what to do. Al looked from Alastor to the rock and finally to the radiant expression of Lucifer. Then the second passed and he was back on his regular form, no halo, no wings.

"He did?" questioned, tilting his head.

"Yeah! All by himself!" Lucifer laughed, jumping quickly to put an arm around Alastor's shoulders. Alastor could feel himself sweating under his suit as Al was staring at him with a minor frown, as if confused. "Now all we have to do is get it divided and we are done! Alastor here can get his wish, whatever it is, and we can get back home!" Lucifer released Alastor and reached out to offer his hand to Al. When his partner took it, his smile went wider. "I told you everything would be alright, babe."

"You did" admitted Al with a strange tone, frowning. He looked beyond Alastor to the open safebox. As his green eyes stared at Alastor again, Alastor stared back, looking just as confused as he was. He had no idea what had just happened either. "You get one told you so" continued Al, pointing a finger to Lucifer's forehead and poking it. "Don't let it get to your head. You have enough hot air there as it is."

Lucifer laughed, hugging him next.

--

Ever since their plan was to get two stones instead of using one, Lucifer had gotten through Stolas the contact to the last alchemist that was left in hell. The last one that did anything remotely related to the old arts, that is, which apparently was the creation of cheap drugs at the corners of the worst cuadrant in the entire city. After putting into the hands of the man a more than generous stack of money and promise him he could keep a third piece of the stone if he wanted to, Lucifer was glad to be able to come out again that disgusting apartment.

According to the man, the process of dividing a stone was fairly simple and, luckily for them, he had all the material necessary already. It wouldn't take more than a few hours to finalize. They were all going to keep watch to make sure all was done in a timely manner, but Lucifer in particular just needed a second to breath.

The usual air of hell wasn't that much cleaner than the inside, but at least it didn't had that enclosed space aroma that permeated the apartment. He contemplated the red sky. All things considered, it haven't been such a bad experience after all. It could have bee a lot worse. He wondered if his daughters and the other Lucifer were making progress on the other side.

That is when the third explosion of the day hit. Lucifer saw the windows on the second flor blow out with a blue fire glow. Dark smoke started coming out the broken window, as more fire expanded. That was the lab of the last alchemist. That was when they were supposed to keep watch of him.

"AL!" yelled, pulling out his horns by instinct, but then the shadow of Al pushed him out of the way. "What are you doing?" questioned, just in time to see cracks start to develop across the entire building.

Cracks so deep that it was collapsing on itself, as if it was made of cards all along and it took a breeze to break it apart.

"We are fine" said Al at his back, putting a hand on his shoulder. Lucifer looked up to him and Alastor coming out from his own shadow a step behind. He didn't need to hear anything else to hug his husband, so painfully relieved that it felt like his heart was beating just at the end of his mouth. Al pet his head as he continued talking. "The bomb came from a window in the hallway. We noticed it in time to avoid it."

Lucifer squeezed him tight for a moment longer, regaining himself. He knew already that something like that was never going to be enough to kill any of them, but it didn't matter at all. When he was sure that his voice was not going to crack, he spoke again.

"That fucking scared me" he sighed, looking back. The whole building was going down. "Wait, where is the guy?"

"Here" said Alastor, pulling up from the ground the sinner, who wrigled like a cat freshly put of the lake where he was about to drown.

"And the stone?" asked Lucifer.

The two demons looked down to the alchemist. A cyclop type of sinner who could only shrug when all eyes were on him. Lucifer pulled out his wings.

"Darling" called Al, but he had already come inside the window to start searching, even throuh the fire that couldn't do anything for him anyway.

In the end, no matter how many debris he moved, not even when the two shadows and the two radio demons helped, did they managed to find it.

as a huuuge fan of your fanfic, anything non-fannish you turn your hand to is gonna be spectacular 💚 intrigued and enticed by your wip list; particularly slaughterhouse 101 👀 -- luv, tumblr user monty whatifwekissedinthesawbathroom 💚

my guy right back at you ur style is sublime <3

slaughterhouse 101 asks the question: what if u had a one-sided codependent relationship with ur boss, who hit someone with a car? started this short story after watching just so much succession which i think will be blindingly obvious <3 it’s been thru so many rounds of edits and i still haven’t rounded it out tbh

“I need you to do this for me,” says Mercy. “Okay?”

She has some sort of small grain lodged between her right lateral incisor and her right canine. To regard Mercy’s physicality –– or really, any body’s lumbering, clammy insistence –– feels gauche. But when the waters of happenstance begin to tilt towards Charybdis, Russ finds it helpful. Such blunt truths –– lunch, loitering in the teeth –– are concrete bits of gravel to collect in his pockets, themselves immune to drowning. Like charms.

The sun sinks into its overblown tapestry of departure, its long and tawdry goodbye, red-eyed and bruising over the black tree line, and Mercy is unremitting, stood starkly on the double yellow lines of the road.

Russ has a knack for good graces, their securing and maintenance. The trick is to be the pipe cleaner, the mirror in an unobtrusive shirt. Distort and reflect until you are so indistinguishable from someone that their selfishness includes you by default –– that they’re as good to you as readily and unthinkingly as they might be good to themselves. Mercy sniffs out this quality in Russ early –– something about the heads on the pike comment must have clued her into his mind for homogeneity –– and now Russ is her unthreatening supply of extra limbs. Useful in the correct ways. So naturally a self-extension that her request, her demand, isn’t so much either of those things, but a line of executable, already executing, code.

It’s autumn, in the sense that the leaves are as painted up as the dusk, and it’s also some sort of corporate autumn, as Mercy has often implied. A post-harvest season of rising scarcity, in which phrases like “trim the fat” and “unsynced synergies” are exchanged. Russ looks at their current situation and wonders, sort of far off, how badly this might rank next to Watergate. If they might find themselves silverskin on the butcher’s block over something like this. The answer is obviously yes. The corollary: is it worth it?

Reveal YourTrue Confidence.

Home Whitening

Home teeth whitening is cheaper and it helps you get a better result with the new advanced materials that have been invented.

Generally you spend about an hour a day for about 7 to 14 days and your teeth will be whiter & brighter.

Office Whitening

Office teeth whitening (sometime called power bleaching) generally take about an hour to hour and a half of your time.

Examples are Pola Office, Opalescence, Zoom, Laser Smile, Rembrandt, Brite Smile, Smart Bleach, OpusWhite.

All have the same relative result.

Deep Bleaching

Involves 3 stages

One visit to the practice for priming your teeth

2 weeks of special home whitening that you wear overnight

Then the deep bleaching in the final visit in the practice with Kor Whitening

How often can I Whitening My Teeth?

Current research shows that whitening should be done in regularly if you want to maintain a white bright smile.

This is where you have your initial teeth whitening procedure and a booster teeth whitening kit can be used to every three to six months to maintain the natural look and feel.

Is tooth whitening for everybody?

The last point to remember is that not everybody benefits from tooth whitening & therefore other solutions may be more appropriate such as Porcelain Veneers.

Are there any prerequisites to teeth whitening?

The most important thing though to consider is that you have a very healthy mouth before you carry out these procedures:

There are two conditions you should be concerned about

Gum disease like gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is caused by a collection of tartar on your teeth.

The whitening gel will whiten the tartar and damage your gums if you have any of these conditions and when in the future you get your teeth cleaned the teeth underneath will still be stained

Tooth decay. The whitening gel can creep into the nerve of your tooth causing severe pain if you have tooth decay

Therefore it is highly recommended that you have had a checkup done in the last three months before you have whitening done.

Most of the bleaching gels available are exactly the same.

There is very little difference from one dentist to another, because the gels are formulated by the relatively the same chemical.

The only difference between different brands is the concentration of the gels.

The higher the concentration of the gel the faster and better the bleaching process.

However, the downside is the more sensitive your teeth get during the bleaching process.

You should remember that the sensitivity is only temporary.

Most of the bleaching gels available at retail stores are of very poor quality.

They’ve been sitting in a warehouse or on a truck for who knows how long – and, because they are designed to be “low cost” (with low cost being sometimes the only consideration), they have very low concentrations of active ingredients.

The process involved in home whitening is as follows.

We need to make sure you teeth have had a good scale and clean in the last six months.

If not then we need to get them cleaned.

You wouldn’t want to whiten your tartar or calculus would you?

Impressions/moulds are taken to make special trays that fit your mouth, the gel is then placed in the trays and the tray inserted in your mouth for a set time we have suggested.

Generally the higher the concentration, the shorter the period of time per day that you leave the gel in your mouth.

As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin.

This bleaches out the discoloured areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed & the colour of the tooth is simply made lighter.

Why do dentists charge differently?

Prices vary between various dentists based on

The type of material that has been supplied (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide)

The concentration of the material provided (2% all the way to 35%)

The number of tubes that has been provided for home whitening

The number of cycles in office whitening ( one cycle to 4 cycles)

Don’t be fooled with cheap prices. There are always hidden charges when you actually get the procedure done.

Also it is always safer to have a dentist do your whitening as in the dental practice we protect your gums and other tissues such as cheeks and lips from being burned.

People who claim to do whitening and are not dental professionals can cause serious damage.

There have been multiple cases of severe burns with whitening when not carried out by a dentist.

Say Goodbye to Stains with the Best Teeth Whitening Solutions in Dubai

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and a bright, white smile can leave a lasting impression. Over time, however, teeth can lose their natural luster due to various factors such as dietary choices, smoking, and aging. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with discolored teeth. If you're looking for the best teeth whitening in Dubai, Albayan Medical Center offers advanced and highly effective teeth whitening treatments that will help you achieve a radiant smile with confidence.

Why Do Teeth Get Stained?

Teeth can become stained for many reasons. Common culprits include:

Dietary Habits: Drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and cola, as well as foods such as berries and sauces, are notorious for staining teeth over time. Even though they taste great, these foods and beverages contain pigments that cling to the tooth's enamel, leaving behind unsightly stains.

Smoking and Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar found in tobacco products are major contributors to tooth discoloration. Smoking not only causes yellowish-brown stains but also affects your overall oral health.

Aging: As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth naturally wears down, exposing the dentin underneath, which tends to be more yellow.

Medications: Some medications, including certain antibiotics like tetracycline, can cause intrinsic staining during tooth development in childhood. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments can also lead to teeth discoloration.

Poor Oral Hygiene: Not brushing or flossing regularly can cause plaque buildup, which turns into tartar, leading to yellow or brown stains.

No matter the cause of your teeth discoloration, Albayan Medical Center provides expert teeth whitening solutions in Dubai that are designed to combat even the toughest stains.

The Best Teeth Whitening Treatments in Dubai

At Albayan Medical Center, we understand that each patient is unique, which is why we offer customized teeth whitening options to suit your specific needs. Our highly trained dentists use the latest technologies to ensure that your teeth whitening experience is not only effective but also safe and long-lasting.

Our treatments include both in-office professional whitening and take-home kits for your convenience:

In-Office Whitening: This is the fastest and most effective way to achieve a brighter smile. Our in-office teeth whitening treatment involves applying a specially formulated bleaching agent to your teeth, which is then activated by a light or laser. This method can whiten your teeth by several shades in just one visit, with results that are immediately visible. Our dentists carefully monitor the process to ensure that your gums and other soft tissues are protected, making the treatment safe and comfortable.

Take-Home Whitening Kits: For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at their own pace, we offer custom-made take-home whitening kits. These kits contain professional-grade whitening gels that are much stronger than over-the-counter products. You’ll be provided with custom-fitted trays that ensure the gel is evenly distributed across your teeth, giving you consistent results without the risk of irritation or damage to your gums. With this option, you can see results in just a few days, depending on your level of discoloration and how often you use the treatment.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Many people opt for over-the-counter whitening products such as strips, gels, and toothpaste, but these options often don’t deliver the dramatic results that professional treatments can offer. Here are some key benefits of choosing professional teeth whitening at Albayan Medical Center:

Faster Results: Professional teeth whitening treatments can whiten your teeth by several shades in just a single visit. You don’t have to wait weeks or months to see the full results, as you would with at-home products.

Safer Procedure: Our expert dentists ensure that your gums and oral tissues are protected during the procedure, minimizing the risk of sensitivity or irritation. In contrast, over-the-counter products often lead to uneven results or cause damage if used incorrectly.

Long-Lasting Effects: Professional treatments are more powerful, providing longer-lasting results compared to at-home options. With proper care, your bright smile can last for months or even years.

Personalized Treatment: Every smile is different, which is why our teeth whitening treatments are tailored to your individual needs. Whether you have minor discoloration or deeper stains, we adjust the treatment to provide the best possible results.
