"Which I'm very thankful for. I'll test the waters." Kyle is a private person so it is unlikely he will open up easily, but there is no harm in at least trying. Istredd is fairly good at stepping carefully around others; he had to do it with Lucifer for a long time.

Istredd full out has no idea about Sabine and Jack. It didn't come up when he talked to her. Or that Kyle moved out.

He laughs when Lucifer groans and throws the pocket square at him, tossing it to the side. Sometimes he can be the snarky one. Istredd runs both of his hands through Lucifer's hair at once, mussing it even more than he already has tonight, it's practically bedhead at this point.

I'll admit, we probably should have paused and made sure we were on the same page. It was risking their friendship by letting things continue without doing so, but Istredd wasn't exactly thinking. At all. But you try being in love with someone for months and have them kiss you for the first time. I was weak. He was going with the flow. Enjoying the moment. Nervous about stopping and losing it.

"I'm not going to say you did the right thing, because then you might think you can knock me out any time." Not good! "But you were not wrong to prioritize communicating."
