Lucifer can see such a familiar look in Macaque's eyes. Almost the same when he's in his depressive episodes and looks in the mirror. He cups his mate's cheek and kisses his nose.

"I love you too. And you do the same for me. I'll catch you when you fall and fly you back up. Every time, love."

Hearing that almost makes Macaque start crying again, but he takes a few sharp breaths and tries not to fall into that.

"Can we just lay here for a while? Talking about anything else? It might be hard to change the subject, but I need a break. Tell me what projects you're working on."

Lucifer nods. He can do that. He can change the subject.

"Of course, love. Right now I'm preparing my next ducky workshop. We're focusing on buoyancy for the next class. Also I've been studying in the library and checking out books. Mostly on communication styles and the like. Also I've taken up knitting again. It's been a while since I did that. Just something to do with my hands when they feel restless. And been pondering reorganizing the lobby. Just for a nice change of pace."

Macaque settles against Lucifer and seems to relax somewhat as Lucifer talks.

"You have a lot of projects."

"I do like to keep busy. That and I might be going through a manic episode. But at least I can use the energy to be productive. Not sure how many seasons this one will last. And when I feel myself coming down, I'll call you. But yes. I do. Of course, I will always make time for you, my love. Just ask and I'll rearrange my entire schedule to lay here and hold you as long and as often as you need."

"I'd say hopefully it won't be that often but I do get slammed with fair regularity. Apologies."

Note to self, read up on bipolar disorder in addition to the rest.

"Thanks for being there for me. I feel the same way about--" he yawns widely "--you."

Lucifer smiles and gently grooms Macaque's hair. He hums a soft lullaby now as the snuggles with his mate.

"You're welcome and I know you do." He'll just hum softly for Macaque, trying to help soothe him to sleep.

Macaque softly purrs at the grooming. After such high emotion, he's growing exhausted very quickly.

"Wake me if he calls or texts, okay? Not that I expect it..." But you can never be too sure.

"Of course, love. I will," Lucifer said as he took Macaque's phone and made sure he could see it if it lights up. Then he went back to humming for him. Part of him hopes there is a call or text. Part of him hopes there isn't. For very different reasons each.

"Thanks," he murmurs, confident that he won't miss anything by crashing for a while.

"Love you." And with that, he lets himself rest. It's fitful, but that's the best he's got.
