WEEK FOUR MINGLE
ᯓ⭐ WEEK FOUR MINGLE
Heya, lovebirds! You're entering the final week and things sure are... great.
Right?
Well, whether you're feeling great or not, you're going to find yourself looking your best in formal wear this week! Suits, gorgeous dresses, fabulously outlandish outfits, you name it, you're stuck in it. No sweatpants or lab coats for anyone this week. We have standards.
And we also believe in telling the truth, one way or another!
That's right, if you're asked a question, any question at all, no matter how innocent or dire, you are compelled to speak your most truthful answer. It could be who you think is the hottest in the castle. It could be your opinion on orange juice. Whatever it is, there is no longer a brain-to-mouth filter in place!
And maybe you'll figure that out and all decide to be merciful, but Riri will be popping up every now and then. And Riri? Riri will not be merciful.
Except for one thing, and that's a note in the main room that states simply: You all suck at this, so this week, our good ol' lesbian duo can now speak normally. You're welcome. ♥

It reminds him a lot of his own circumstances. The fear of divine retribution so swift and so merciless that everything he held dear would be destroyed. Lucifer curls his fingers into the fabric of Zhongli’s jacket and holds on tightly. ]
Oh, Zhongli… [ Or is it Rex Lapis? He won’t utter that name here and now. ] I understand. Believe me, no one understands better than I do how scary it is to have Heaven poised to take everything you care about away.
[ He thinks of Adam and his army, all of them poised to destroy Charlie and her hotel. How he came so close to losing what little bit of his family he had left. ]
I think Lin would understand if you told her you had people to protect. She has people she’s fighting for, too, and just because the scale isn’t the same doesn’t mean she can’t empathize. We’ve been doing so poorly at the game and tensions are really high, but I really believe that if we pull together, we’ll come out of this okay.
[ He exhales, soft and shaky, leaning into Zhongli’s solid presence. All of the contestants… they were never best friends to begin with, but they have a common goal and they have to remember that. Whether the producers want what they want or not, they have to play by their rules.
They just have to take those first steps to mending bridges. Charlie was always very good at that sort of thing. Wanting to believe in the best in others, and helping them pick up and move forward. What would she do in a moment like this?
Sing, probably.
Softly, so softly, Lucifer breathes out a lilting little melody in this space they share. ]
It starts with sorry
That's your foot in the door, one simple sorry
Spoken straight from your core
The path to forgiveness is a twisting trail of hearts
But sorry is where it starts ♪

The lyrics, of course, are sweet and more so wrapped up in this gentle melody. Simple words and one he can hear Guizhong saying to him. She would be most exasperated by this behavior and have much the same to say about it.]
I am sorry. Most sincerely and with all my heart. And I will make things right with Miss Lin, you have my word.
[He rests his cheek against the top of Lucifer's hair, soft blond hair tickling but not enough to deter the action. He hums, softly, in return. The song that Lucifer sang to him during their high school performance. Where everything spiked to an all time high, cementing a great many things between them.
But when I stop and see you here, I remember who all this was for.]

[ Some of the unease seems to go out of him with that apology, and he loops his arms around the back of Zhongli's neck to pull himself up for a kiss, sweet and lingering.
Wow, Charlie was right. It really does start with sorry. ]
Can we just stay like this for a little while?
no subject
I would like that.
[Being on the floor isn’t ideal but the curtain of wings makes it feel private and secure. So they can remain where they are for now. He will insist they curl up somewhere else later.
His tail remains wrapped protectively around the other, uncoiling only to find a more comfortable position for them both. He takes another kiss from Lucifer, a gentle peck but one open for the possibility of more should that be what the angel wants. He’ll let him set their pace.]
