insanity-queen-hysterium:
His hand came back to meet hers at her cheek - the human leaned forward and nuzzled into Hysterium’s neck, more of a romantic gesture than a sexual one, which (knowing Jeremiah) was somewhat surprising honestly. Indeed, the entire current conversation must have been quite odd, all things considered.
He seemed, surprisingly for Jeremiah, at a loss for words to express himself. He simply stayed nuzzled into Hysterium for several moments, hand gently holding hers, before he pulled himself from her and stood before her. Whether his smile was genuine or fake was questionable - he was always a good actor after all.
“I’ll take that, I suppose,” he joked. Again, his tone was a bit… flat.
Hysterium was surprised at Jeremiah’s response, or lack thereof. He sarcasm that generally painted everything was gone, which was honestly unusual for her.
“You are a remarkable being, Jeremiah.” She murmured, leaning her head against his. “Perhaps you can even teach me how to feel again.”
She never asked to be like this, but had never considered trying to go back until now. Her lack of feeling had become an irrevocable part of her, and though she couldn’t say she loved him, she did care deeply for the man before her. She had discovered a soft side of herself she didn’t even know she could have because of him. Why stop there?
One hand slid up his arm until it rested on his shoulder. “You have an impeccable talent for do it impossible things. Might you be up to the challenge.
A small noise that could almost be considered a breathy laugh of sorts escaped from Jeremiah’s throat at Hysterium’s first comment. “Usually when I get that type of comment, it’s a negative - I’ll make an attempt not to assume the worst, if for no other reason than my own pride,” he finally quipped in a semi-joking tone.
Jerr’s visage finally seemed to soften a touch, a corner of his lips turning up, even if only slightly, in a smirk that might go unnoticed by even Hysterium - certainly no mortal would have been able to catch it, really.
“Am I really supposed to say no to that?” He gave in a semi-playful tone. He almost moved to show some sort of physical affection, but kept himself from doing so - he was already pretty far down the rabbit hole with this conversation… he’d rather not fuck it up by pushing too far.
“I am nothing if not extremely stubborn… who’s to say we can’t figure this out?”
He paused and added, “Or… I, anyway,” in a slight correction to his own statement.
