"Sheeeep. Come on, it's been weeks. Can't we take a break? Go somewhere nice?" Lex whined.
"Nice? You were all gung-ho about angel hunting a couple of weeks ago." Shep smiled, as he sewed the latest hole in his coat shut.
"Yeah, well that was a few weeks ago, and we were in New York... that place tricks people," Lex scowled. "With its sparkling lights and hot guys everywhere." He crossed his arms and pouted.
"Sounds terrible," Shep said, not really paying attention.
"Your face is terrible," Lex mumbled.
"Somewhere nice, huh? Like a vacation?" Shep asked.
"Yes! Please!" Lex fell back on the hotel's uncomfortable couch.
"Like where? We just got back from Barcelona, killing that one Arch... what was his name again?" Shep asked, still not really paying attention.
"I don't know. Paris? Rome? Hawaii-" Lex said, ignoring his question about the Archangel they had killed in Spain.
"How about Hawaii, I've always wanted to go," Shep said. Lex's eyes lit up as he sat up straight.
"Wait, really?" Shep nodded slowly, not looking up from his sewing.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" He jumped up from his seat and kissed Shep on the temple. Shep scowled and shoved him, but couldn't help the smile that crept across his face as he glanced up at the demon who frolicked around the room happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"I hate you," Lex grumbled.
"You wanted Hawaii, you got Hawaii," Shep smiled.
"A vacation isn't a vacation if you're working!" Lex threw the map at him. Sometime during the flight he had seen that the fifth angel was located on the big island.
"Maybe we can do some surfing afterwards," Shep smiled.
"Fuck you." Lex stormed off, ignoring the tall man wearing a lei made of real flowers greeting them as they got off the small plane. Shep chuckled and accepted the gift from the smiling man.
"Don't pout, it doesn't suit you." Shep sat down in the bus that would take them to their hotel. Lex just glared at the seat in front of him.
"You're a terrible person," he finally spoke.
"You know you don't feel that way," Shep smiled, enjoying the demon's anger.
"Yes I do.," Lex kept his arms crossed.
"What if I tell you I got us a private condo on the beach?" Shep asked. Lex glanced at him.
"I would say you're a liar," Lex replied, though he didn't look like he was convinced either way.
"Well I did," Shep handed him a small packet with information on the rentable condo.
"Holy shit you did?" Lex smiled, excited for the 'vacation' now.
"Yep. No one around for miles.," Shep smiled.

Shep stretched as the sun broke over the horizon, waking him from his deep sleep. He looked over at the empty living room and frowned. The only sound that filled his ears were the waves breaking gently on the shore. There wasn't any cursing, or mumbling, or even yelling from the leather-clad demon. Shep was shocked at how uncomfortable the silence made him. In just over a month they had become so close.
"Lex?" he called groggily as he stood up.
"Outside!" the demons peppy voice floated to his ears.
"What are you- oh my god," Shep stopped in his tracks as his eyes looked over the naked, pale flesh of Lex's body. He sat on the beach, in the warmth of the sun. He smiled happily with his eyes closed, not even realizing that Shep was drooling over him.
"What?" He finally opened his eyes.
"You're very much not wearing anything... uh..." Shep stumbled over the words, trying to avert his eyes but they kept being drawn back to the soft cock, completely shaven clean.
"Didn't think you'd mind, sorry," Lex smiled, making it obvious he wasn't sorry. He was enjoying the attention he was getting.
"Uh... yeah.. could you put something on?" Shep asked, making no move to look away from the tight muscles and soft skin.
"But the sun is so warm," he whined, poking out his bottom lip. "How about instead, you come and join me?" Lex winked.
"Come on, Lex. We have the next angel to kill.," Shep suddenly got serious and walked back inside.
"I actually have somewhere to go, today," Lex said.
"Somewhere to go?" Shep frowned. "You're dead, Lexington. I don't think you need to go to the grocery store or some shit," Lex rolled his eyes.
"Funny, funny. The big man downstairs actually wants to talk to me.," Lex said.
"About what?" Shep asked. Forgetting that Lex was naked, he stepped back outside, before rolling his eyes and turning his back to Lex to continue the conversation. Lex shrugged.
"Hell if I know. But he wanted to talk. I feel like it's a wise choice to say 'yes', don't you?" Lex joked.
"When is he going to-" Shep shut his jaw when he turned around to see the spot Lex had been occupying was now empty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lex blinked rapidly as he realized he was no longer on the sunny beaches of Maui, but in a plain gray room with a dart board hung up on the wall. A small table sat in the middle, a few rows of red darts occupying the cold metal table top.
"Deja vu," he laughed, and picked up a dart.
"How are you doing, Lex?" The familiar man in khaki shorts and a hawaiian shirt stepped forward, his voice warm and friendly. Lex smiled.
"I see you dressed for the weather," he pointed at the shirt.
"I can never decide what to wear.," he chuckled and snapped his fingers, switching to a blue business suit, gesturing to himself and raising an eyebrow to ask which one.
"I like both. The blue goes good with your eyes," Lex smiled and threw the dart, missing the bullseye by a good couple of inches, frowning.
