I put my paper work away with a sigh. Finally done. At the very least it taught me not to leave anything to the last minute. I headed outside to see my fiancée walking away with a somber expression. Well that's odd. He's usually so chipper. I should check on him.

"Lucifer" he looked up in surprise.

"Hey Al" his expression seemed sad. It was admittedly quite worrying.

"What's wrong dear?" I asked "You seem rather down. Has someone upset you? Cause if so I'll be more than happy to sort them out"

"No you don't have to do that" he said quickly "no one's upset me. I just feel a little homesick"

I nodded understandingly. I suppose it's natural to feel that way. Especially after running into his brother.

"It's not just home, I miss the surface in general" he sighed "the long flowing plants, the leaves falling off the trees, the fresh air. As nice as spending time with you, husk, nifty and angel has been I can't help but miss the life the surface world had to offer"

My heart strangely broke for the boy. Letting him up to the surface world would be incredibly risky but I couldn't just leave him like this.

I took his hand "very well. I'll take you to the surface tomorrow"

"Really!?" His eyes lit up.

"Of course dear. I promised you that I would fulfill your every need to the best of my ability. An hour on the surface world shouldn't hurt"

"Oh thank you!" He hugged me with happy tears. Normally I dislike being touched but his hugs feel...

Strangely nice.
