Summary
“Fancy seeing you still around, Alastor,” Lucifer called. Alastor made no indication that he’d even noticed his presence, and Lucifer pursed his lips in annoyance. “Hey jackass, are you ignoring me? What are you—”
Lucifer cut himself short. Now that he was closer, it was incredibly apparent why the taller man was unresponsive. Alastor’s back was pressed against the wall; one hand was shakily gripping his staff and nearly driving it into the floor and the other was clutching at the front of his shirt. He was hyperventilating, breaths coming in high-pitched wheezes and far too quickly to be normal, and he was crying, tears streaming down his face at an alarming rate.

Summary
He can’t sleep. He knows he should but he can’t, and he wouldn’t even be able to explain why. All he knows is that there is a pit in his stomach, his mind is racing, and his heart feels like it’s ready to explode. Laying in bed felt strange, like the plush mattress was mocking him for his inability to use it for its intended purpose; laying on the floor felt more stable somehow, and thus, one of Hell’s most powerful overlords found himself laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling. Why, you may ask? Because he was being mocked by his bed.
God, talk about rock bottom.
-
