[ The demon just blinks a little at that kiss but returns it all the same, sinking against it slightly with a soft hum before it breaks and his eyes fall onto the other.
He does give a little nod at those words.]
I tried turning myself back to stone when you...took a step back, which I'll admit wasn't as successful as it use to be.
So.
No, I don't think I can do that for you. Even when you asked.
[ Caliban sucks on the inside of his cheek as he peers down at the other, choosing his words carefully.]
No.
[ Which was really one word, honestly.]
While it wasn't...planned for such a thing to happen. You're not the first mortal to stir such feelings inside me. And the grief that happens in their absence...is almost more unbearable than that the fate of the void.
[ Quiet in his thoughts, he reaches up with a hand then to let fingers brush against the demon's cheek before he comes to lean in and kisses him. Slow. Soft. Surprisingly tender as he lets it linger for a little longer until he cuts it short and just lays there with him, head on Caliban's shoulder. ]
You're sappy.
[ He softly murmurs, eyes falling shut, curling himself into Caliban a little as if seeking his warmth. ]

Does that concern you?
[ He asks then, cheek pressed against the mattress as he lays there on his back, looking to the demon there beside him. ]
That you can't rid yourself of feeling what you do?

For a demon.
