Summary: It wasn’t easy being Lu’s first crush.
Warnings: Mentions of violence. Language.
Notes: Balthazar/John is referenced to. As for the other two crushes, I made them up. They’re not canon.

John’s first crush was an inmate at Ravenscar. It ended badly when the guy ratted him out and was then preyed upon even more for being a “faggot.” His second crush was a random cute girl he met at a bar that thought she could “save” him. She clearly had a fetish for the disturbed broken type. However, as it turned out, she couldn’t even save herself…from Balthazar.
Balthazar ended up being his third crush. Illogical and impossible, but those were the two keywords of John’s life.
The demon didn’t return his attentions at first, and then only in small measures. Like a true devil, Balthazar threw it in John’s face every time they encountered one another; drawing ever closer to him yet staying perfectly out of range.
Except Balthazar wasn’t the Devil. And, even the Devil could be envious.
Something that made itself perfectly clear to John when the back of his head met the wall as he was thrown against it; the impeccably dressed white-suited man smiled down at his crumpled body.
“What the fuck, Lu?” John dared to raise his voice. “I’m not your punching bag.”
Brimstone lit in Lu’s blue eyes. “I beg to differ, Johnny. And, besides, I don’t like you seeing other men. Period.”
“Other…men?” John knew perfectly well who Lucifer was referring to, but sometimes, the “dumb” act worked.
“You know damn well who, and I’ve recently had a little discussion with him too. Leave him alone, sonny, or next time I’ll break your neck, and you’ll be joining me a hell of a lot quicker.”
John was speechless when Lu darted over towards him to capture his lips in a carnal kiss as his callused fingers rasped along his chin; an almost soothing touch compared to the outburst of violence earlier. John whimpered at the sensation. It seemed as if the game of bait and switch he had been playing with Balthazar had been permanently postponed.
It wasn’t easy being Lucifer’s first crush.
