This was the last person he’d thought that would try to cheer him up. The other doesn’t seem to care for his well-being or anyone else’s well-being other than Jinx and himself. It’s nice though, nice to see one of his worse students try to cheer him up— even if it might possibly be in an illegal way. But still! It’s the thought that counts, he thinks. Maybe he should take up on the offer, he honestly wouldn’t mind (he actually does, he just doesn’t want to turn him down).
Eridan grins at his student, “your definition of fun is different from mine, Lucifer.” He pushes himself out of the chair, places the scattered ungraded papers on his desk into a file and stuffs it in his briefcase. “But I wouldn’t mind having some fun,” he says, “teachers need to fun sometimes, so lead the way?”
He likes Eridan, and not in the I-wanna-fuck-my-teacher-just-to-see-how-it-feels-like way. (Okay, maybe a bit like that, but that wasn’t the point.) Eridan was pretty damn chill, and Lucifer thought that he was different than teachers he’s encountered before. Granted, Lucifer didn’t even attend school all that much before Elias and, even upon entry to the Academy, he was loathe to go to any of the classes, but still –
“You don’t mind going out of the Academy, do you?” he asked, already walking away and expecting his teacher to follow. “I mean, like, outside these walls we ain’t student and teacher, are we? What happens outside of Elias, stays outside of Elias,” he stated, grinning over his shoulder. “More fun that way, teach.”
