[ He's tempted to push on that but there's a soft, defeated sigh as the other tells him not to go running to Nate about it- which seems rather unfair from his point of view but as always, he'd play by John's rules.]
Fine. Fine. If you insist. I shall wait till the veil is thin on Halloween.
[ He was, however, going to steal one more kiss from John- he was just as greedy after all.]
[ It's said in a simple tone, as if there was any other way it would have gone. John could have summoned him the deepest, darkest abyss and he'd still be here. His body presses against those hands but there's no errancy to his movements, no bubbling over with sexual need or the darkness of the moments they'd shared before. There's a little nod as his hands move down to loop around John's waist.
He might not always understand mortals but he could do this, at the very least.]
How could I ever deny you anything you needed, John-- And it's hardly a big ask to have you in my arms.
[ He pointed out as he bumps his nose against the mutants with an amused soft smile.]
[ a hand comes up to gently cradle the demon’s face. he has alec. he has nate. it’s not that he’s alone, he knows he isn’t. but he’s missed the other’s presence beyond blood and sex and filth. for as long as he’s been here in duplicity, caliban has been the one constant that so rarely disappears from his life. being without it- being without him is strange and difficult sometimes. ]
[ it’s asked a little playfully, smile there on his lips, and he pulls the demon down with him there on the couch to drape himself across caliban. again, simply wanting and needing this for the moment over anything sexual or filthy. ]
Hm, I should forge you one. Sliver and blood red jewels.
[ There's no resistance as the other tugs him down onto that couch and he's suddenly got a lap full of John. His hand smooths down John's back in a small, intimate touch as he tilted his head back to watch the other.]
[ settling himself there against caliban, he lazily walks his fingers across the demon’s chest, watching as he does. moments like these are just as nice as the more bloody and filthy ones as far as he’s concerned. ]
Yeah? That gonna be my anniversary present from you?

Thank you for coming.
[ he lifts his head up. noses at caliban before he smooths his hands along the demon’s chest. ]
Sometimes I just… need you here. Not for anything sexual or painful. Just like this.

I am sorry I haven't been around more.

You have things to do. Others who want your time.
[ they both know how it goes here. ]
But I still miss you.
no subject
Others have not taken up my time- not in the way you think.
[ It wasn't like he was off spending time with Nate while ignoring the other. A hand moves down to give the others hip a squeeze.]
no subject
[ it’s said with a gentle press of his body into the others, hand dropping down from caliban’s cheek to rest against the curve of his neck instead. ]
Or I might file for divorce.
no subject
[ There's a little nod of his head though- it's not a promise he's going to forget. Even with his planning of an infernal party.]
It- and I- are yours, of course.

Something fit for a Kings Consort.

[ He mused lightly as he tilted his head to brush those lips against the others shoulder again with his own ghost of a smirk. ]
Or are such bold things like crowns not to your fancy?
no subject
[ a lazy lift of his head up, he raises a brow playfully. ]
Just the crown, nothing else?
no subject
[ He teased as he turned his head towards John.]
You already know I would ravage you on my throne- letting every subject and hellspawn watch.
no subject
I know. Gotta let them all see how good the King's consort is, right?
no subject
[ He praised easily with a brush of his hand down along the others side, giving the others hips an affectionate little squeeze]
