Characters Involved: Michael, Lucifer and Nick. However, it's quite possible it'll drag in a lot of other characters, depending on how they react.
Length: Honestly, I don't know when this will start and when it'll end. It might go by quickly but it'll last long term effects.
There are warnings in the tag. In the "read more" there is not only background but what will hopefully happen when the truth gets spilled.
Due to the subject at hand, it's probably going to be very dramafied.
The problems with Nick stem from the fact that he’s gay. He got married because he fell in love with his wife, but he was never attracted to her sexually. She knew this when she married him. After getting married, Nick never had a very active sex life, and the couple already began to have marital problems when Lucifer was born. Nick considers Lucifer the most important person in his life, and treasures him above everyone else, even his wife. While she was relieved that Nick is such a dedicated father, it didn’t change the fact that their relationship was slowly failing.
As Lucifer began to grow older, Nick devoted himself to him. Lack of sexual satisfaction from his relationship with his wife, coupled with depression over their failing marriage, caused Nick to latch onto Lucifer a little more than was necessary, or healthy. While still working a part time job, Nick spent almost every waking moment with his son; manipulating his schedule so that he would be at home as much as possible while his wife was working.
Nick began having sexual attraction towards Lucifer for quite a few years before he did anything to him. It started small, deeper, open-mouthed kisses, bathing and showering together to let Nick’s hands wander, and eventually going as far as oral sex. While Nick has attempted penetration (with a finger), it made Lucifer too nervous, so he stopped. His wife however, was unaware of the intensity of the encounters.
Nick’s wife walked in on Nick caressing a naked Lucifer when he was eight and a half. The next few weeks were spent with them fighting fiercely, and eventually, Nick leaving. Nick agreed to pay child support and gave up all rights to the house to his wife. Nick sent presents, cards, and money to Lucifer every holiday (birthdays included), though most of them were intercepted by Lucifer’s mother.
During the years that Nick and Lucifer were separated, Nick sought the help of a therapist, and has worked through many of his issues, including his attraction to his son. While Nick still feels the attraction to Lucifer, he has not stepped past the boundary of Father and Son again. Now that Lucifer is back in his life, he lavishes him with attention, giving him everything he can, everything Lucifer says he needs. Nick’s devotion may seem extreme from an outsider’s view, but Nick never wanted to hurt his son. He loves him unconditionally, and will continue to do so no matter what happens.
Currently/More Background:
Lucifer has blocked out all of this from his memory. It was something he couldn’t handle so his mind put up a wall, but he’s still aware. He was having his own issues at school for being bullied/not accepted so coming home to a loving father made his world go ‘round. There was a mixture of: he didn’t know that it was bad and his father was just “showing his love”. He felt like it was wrong but again, even at a young age, he didn’t want to hurt his father.
But he loved his father just as much as his father loved him (minus the sexual attraction).
When the abuse stopped and Lucifer realized that it was wrong, he had all the more reason to close off. Because someone he trusted hurt him like that, which is why he doesn’t remember it. This plays into why he doesn’t like being touched and why he won’t trust easily (in his mind, it’s because of the bullying).
So, in his mind, he was unaware of why his Father left and only knew about the fighting. He still loved the man. In a way, he was angry with his mother for not working out their problems. All he knew was that they fight. Still feels that way today. Trying to get Lucifer into therapy didn’t work because he refused to talk and when they brought his father up, he would go on a tangent on how much he respected the man.
Sarah remarried and waited until Michael was old enough to handle the truth and told him what happened to Lucifer, also explaining he has no memory of it what so ever. At sixteen, Lucifer found one of the letters from his father which is was reestablished their relationship, though it was via emails because his mother refused to talk about Nick so he didn’t want her finding out and taking this away from him.
It wasn’t until he moved out for college that he met the man face-to-face. Which started off awkwardly, short coffee visits until Lucifer got it in his mind that this was just an older-version of his dad and their relationship instantly returned to how it was before. Lucifer doesn’t question the touchy-feelyness (even though nothing sexual has happened), he just knows his dad is a loveable kind of guy. Like… a puppy.
Lately, though, there have been things cracking at the wall. He isn’t as innocent as he was before, but there’s that other voice in his head telling him not to question it.
Future Plans:
Plans are subject to change depending on how the roleplay goes.
In the middle of one of their bi-weekly fights, Michael and Lucifer find their way to the subject of being together. Having heard time and time again that it just can’t be, without so much as an explanation as to why, Lucifer has grown frustrated and demands a reason. After much bickering, Michael finally caves, yelling out that Lucifer was molested by Nick.
After the truth comes out, Lucifer tells Michael that he has been in touch with Nick for quite some time and even stays over at his house some nights. This causes a heated argument to break out.
In a fit of anger and disbelief, Lucifer leaves and makes his way to Nick’s, leaving Michael wondering where he stormed off to. After confirmation of the molestation, Lucifer disappears.
