[ Nate's body all but melts against Caliban. His shoulders relax, letting go of tension that he was barely aware of holding.
It's not just that Nick's gone, and he's craving the people he loves most. It's also that they couldn't do this when they were trapped together, not without being pulled apart and beaten. Here, in Nate's house, they're safe and free to touch again. He's free to tilt his head up and lean into that kiss, free to flick his tongue along the demon's lips, free to breathe in his scent and know they won't be interrupted. ]
I'd like that. I love it when you're wicked.
[ He pauses then, and leans close. He'd said in in text, but... ]
I love you. [ It's whispered, a breath on his lips while his eyes meet the demon's. ] I love you, Caliban.
[ Caliban's hands are firm on the other hip as he tries to ground the other in the moment with him, if only to get those lingering effects of their respective captivity. He smiles against that kiss and easily returns it- sinking against those lips for a few moments as his fingers press just a little harder against the others hips.]
You certainly seem to when you're all ruined and pretty...
[ He teased lightly before Nate said that words and the conversation shifted-the weight of them seemed way more real when said in person. Perhaps it was just the months of dancing around them- of making sure there was some distance even if they never spoke about it.
The demon swallowed- even if he didn't need it before he reached a hand up to cup the other's neck as he kept his eyes on the others. His tongue brushed along his lower lip for a moment before he said those words back. ]
[ Nate's hands come up to his neck, and gently brush upwards over his jaw. He looks Caliban in the eyes, and doesn't doubt a word the demon's saying. He thinks he's known for a while. He thinks both of them have, only now they're admitting it.
It should be admitted. All they do by not saying it is to court regrets, later, if they're separated.
When they're separated. ]
I know.
[ He leans in close, pressing against Caliban, before stretching up to kiss his lips. ]
[ It had to be better to admit it and let that truth lay between them in all its glory. His head tilts slightly into that hand as it brushes his jawline and his eyes meet the others without hesitation.
It's strange how comforting two simple words could be and yet it was hard to deny that "I know" did make the demon's body sweep with something indescribable. Relief perhaps.
He returns that kiss easily enough, his head tilting against Nate's with a pleased soft hum.]
[ When you're all sharing with others, only the moment can matter. The moment's enough, though, when it means Caliban's looking at him like that. He leans up, nudging his head against Caliban's. ]
Me too.
I don't want to waste time. I keep learning that lesson, I just have to remember it.
[ He presses closer, and kisses Caliban again. This time it lingers, and his eyes close while he settles against the demon. ]
[ He's tempted to reply to that but instead he was just going to sink into that kiss- letting these emotions and desires run free in that passionate kiss as he feels the other settle against him.
A hand was going to slip up under the other's shirt to find that mark he'd left on the other so long ago now. His finger brushed over it as he ignites that hellfire again- letting it sear into the flesh of the other all the fresher. ]
I'll just have to keep reminding you to remember such a thing. Remember your place in my arms.
[ He teased against the others lips to give the other a chance to take a breath.]
[ Nate gasps against that kiss, as the sudden burn sears against his hip. He loves that mark. It makes him tingle all over, and incidentally also makes his cock noticeably hard. It's just automatic, as is the pleased shudder that rolls through him. ]
Fucking...
Yeah. That's a good reminder.
[ He laughs, and then kisses Caliban again. This time there's more force, more urgency. He nips at the demon's lip before pushing his tongue into his mouth. If Caliban had been trying to turn him on, it certainly worked. ]
