Angel sank down into the beach chair with a sigh. Fuck, it was hot, even by Hell’s standards.

 

“Ugh, I’m gonna sweat my tits flat,” he groaned. As he heard an amused snort beside him, his eyes turned toward his company. “Found that funny, did ya?”

“A bit.”

Lucifer was trying to stifle a smile, though he was failing miserably. Unlike Angel, he looked perfectly fine in the sweltering summer heat blanketing Pentagram’s every point.

“You’re gonna be less happy when ya can’t bury your face in my fluff cus it’s gone completely flat.”

 

Angel lifted his drink to his lips, eyes roaming across the beach. As they found nothing, he glanced down.

“Damn it, they forgot the straw.”

Sure he could drink his cocktail without it, but honestly, cold drinks on the beach tasted better with a colourful straw.

“Want me to get you one?”

“Sure.”

 

As Lucifer raised his hand, Angel watched as a poof of sparkles materialised a straw in his hand. It was shaped like a rose.

“For you, my love.”

Angel felt his face flush for reasons unrelated to the heat.

“You cheesy little motherfucker.”

Lucifer’s smile widened. “Always.”

Angel laughed at that. “It’s very pretty, but it’s gonna take ages for my drink to get through all that pipe.”

“Oh.” Lucifer glanced down at the straw. Clearly, that hadn’t been on his mind when he conjured it. “Probably.”

 

In another shower of sparkling sand vanishing into the air, he let the straw be reshaped into a simpler one, in the shape of a heart.

“Better?”

Angel smiled. As he plucked the straw out of Lucifer’s hand, he leaned forward to steal a kiss.

“It’s perfect. Thanks, sweetcheeks.”

He watched as a happy blush spread across Lucifer’s cheeks, his smile pleased. 

 

As he leaned back in his chair, he finally got a taste of his drink. He sighed, this time one of satisfaction.

Fiddling with his straw, he felt the curve of the heart it made, making him smile.

It was still way too hot out, but at least his drink tasted good. His company wasn’t too shabby either.

Even if he was terribly cheesy.
