"We had so much fun yesterday!" River excitedly said, narrating his previous night's experience to Bruno and Sam as he happily jumped up and down in Damien's lap.
They were all seated in the dining room; having breakfast. River was happily telling everyone at the table how good his date was, but Sam and Bruno could only glare at Lucifer who was seated at the head of the table.
"It was the best date ever!" River said with dreamy eyes as he rested his chin on his palm that was supported by the table where his elbow was placed.
"I'm so happy for you," Bruno said with a genuine smile on his face.
"Only if our mate could be as romantic" Sam deadpanned looking Lucifer in the eye and daring him to say anything out of proportion. Lucifer gulped at the look on his mates' faces as he adjusted uncomfortably in his seat.
"I know right? My mate is the best!" River playfully said, flipping his hair into Damien's face.
"Babe, you shouldn't flip your hair when you are about to eat. It's unhygienic" Damien softly chastised causing River to blush out of embarrassment as he murmured a small 'ok' and 'sorry'.
"I hereby announce Damien and River as the couple of the year" Sam sassily said as he stood up from his seat without touching his meal.
"Bruno let's go. And Lucifer, don't even think of trying to beg me or my mate; cause if you do, we will not talk to you for twelve moons" Sam said with a serious glare gracing his face as he dragged an equally upset Bruno with him.
"Sam-" Lucifer could not finish his statement because his mates had already vanished from his sight.
River giggled softly when he saw the helpless expression on his guardian's face.
"Lucifer is in dip shit~~" Damien sing-sang with a faux pity expression on his face.
"Hey, don't curse" It was River's turn to chastise his mate.
"Sorry, mate" Damien whispered in his mate's ear causing the latter to shiver against his mate.
"More food for me!" River excitedly clapped as he took Sam's and Bruno's meal and started stuffing his face with the food laid down before him.
"Slow down, Riv" Damien chuckled at his mate's cute chipmunk cheeks; River adjusted himself on his mate's lap as he continued stuffing his face with the meals.
Lucifer loudly scoffed as he vanished from the dining room making Damien give out a dry chuckle, knowing very well that his brother could hear him.
"What do you want to do today?" Damien asked his mate; River gulped down the food in his mouth and picked up the glass that his mate filled with water earlier for him and took a huge gulp from the glass.
"I want to play the harp for you today!" River excitedly said.
"Really?" Damien raised a brow to his mate's answer.
"Why harp?" Damien inquired.
"Don't you like it? I can just... never mind" River sadly said as his eyes welled up with tears.
"Hey, look at me" Damien softly but firmly said; River looked up at his mate with moistened eyes.
"I don't care if you play the harp or piano or whatever; I don't want you to feel pressured around me. I was just curious about why you play the harp; it's really rare to see people who play the harp, everyone just sticks with playing piano or guitar. I was just curious, Riv; I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable" Damien explained, staring deeply into his mate's eyes trying to gauge his mate's emotions.
"Moreover, you playing the harp will make you look more angelic" Damien smirked at his mate's flushed face.
"You can't casually say that" River whined as he relaxed against his mate's chest.
"I thought you don't like the harp, not knowing it would be a great turn-on for you while you watch me play" River sassily said, slightly smirking at his mate.
"Can't help it when I have such a beautiful mate" Damien played along, making River turn a bright shade of red as he muttered under his breath;
"You are so cheesy, my cheesy mate" River smiled broadly as he craned his neck to place a chaste kiss on Damien's lips.
"Your cheesy mate" Damien smiled broadly at his mate.
If Damien wasn't sure if he was whipped before, he was super sure now.
Hopeless Romantic.
