》》 @demonsofdevildom whispered: While not many dared to bother the eldest when tucked away in the study there was one that wanted to check in on the demon, Yuki couldn’t help but be concerned of Lucifer on seeing how the eldest worked often and figured that perhaps a slight drink with a snack may help ease work along. Knocking a bit before given the sign to enter while carrying a couple cups of coffee along with a few snacks on the tray he had with him, “Sir...? I know that you’re busy but I figured to at least drop by to give you something to drink and eat, hope you don’t mind the interruption...” trying to keep it brief since he wouldn’t want to overstay his welcome in the room and turning to leave but glancing back, "I believe you're doing a good job with your work and duties to family, I admire that about you... do remember to take a light break when you can. Have a good night, sir." offering a shy smile before finally leaving and letting the eldest be to do what he liked when the soft click of the study door was heard when he left. (Yuki is just trying to be a caring human of a guest here.)

❝ ... i know. and i appreciate your concern. however , i must 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚜𝚝 on returning to work , particularly right now. you don't need to worry , i'm fine. ❞ thankfully , the eldest was by far the 𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙳𝙴𝚂𝚃 of the brothers to read. behind a gentle smile and the bangs that brushed his forehead hid an exhaustion he could slowly feel 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 at his center and dark lines along baggy eyelids. humans were perceptive enough , able to find things out within an 𝙸𝙼𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚂𝚂𝙸𝚅𝙴𝙻𝚈 𝚂𝙷𝙾𝚁𝚃 𝙰𝙼𝙾𝚄𝙽𝚃 𝙾𝙵 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 , so it was inevitable that yuki would catch on at some point. thankfully , the other had left before 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 to question him , leaving lucifer safe in the box where he sheltered his true feelings once again.
