"You need my consent!" Sam protests. "I will kill myself before I let you in!" "I'll just bring you back," Lucifer shrugs before sighing, "Oh, Sam. My heart breaks for you -- the weight on your shoulders? What you've done, and what you still have to do? It is more than anyone could bear. If there was some other way...." Lucifer trails off, finally shaking his head, "But there isn't." And now he steps even closer as he makes this promise: "I will never lie to you, and I will never trick you, but you will say yes to me." "You're wrong!" Sam insists. "I'm not," Lucifer smiles. "I think I know you better than you know yourself." It all finally becomes too much for poor Sammy, and his voice breaks a bit as he near-weeps, "Why me?" "Because it had to be you, Sam. It always had to be you." Sam drops his eyes to cry, and when he lifts them again, his infernally angelic new boyfriend is gone. God, men suck.
