Belial's body language stiffened, shrinking in on herself like making herself smaller would make her invisible somehow.
"Not...for their sake but for yours." She whispered, turning her body to the side as facing him left her feeling much too vulnerable. It made her chest ache, Belial didn't want to do this. She didn't want to step even one inch against him.
But fear clenched too tightly at her very being even now and any inch of an upper hand she could grasp to secure even an inkling of his safety was good enough for her. So many things in her lives had been out of her control and for once if Belial had even the slightest hint of a choice, she was going to do anything for it.
Her hands trembled as she brought one up to bite gently into her knuckle and felt the tips of her small fangs digging firmly against her skin.
"I'm...I'm defending you." Belial clarified, pupils slimming down into slits as though she had entered some sort of fight or flight state. "The farther I can keep them away, the more you don't have to worry about them cruising deeper and deeper into the Zone." She murmured.

"Y-You!" Belial let out an admittedly embarrassing sound that verged on some mixture between a yelp and a squeal.
She smacked him square in the chest, not rough but just enough to get her point across.
"I'd much prefer a treat rather than a trick, or a scare even..." She pouted.

A snort slipped from Sylus as he caught that fleeting pout before she turned away Her dramatics amused him, always had. There was something about the way she moved, all defiance and fire, that stirred something fond in him.
Before Belial could take another step, the air around her shifted, an invisible current humming as the dark red tendrils of his evol stirred to life. They crept forward from the shadows, fluid and alive, curling around her arms and waist like smoke given shape. Their touch wasnβt harsh, just firm enough to still her movement, tugging her gently back until her spine brushed against the solid wall of his chest.
βBack then,β Sylus said, his tone quieter now, the teasing fading to something that carried the weight of memory. βI was foolish.β A pause. His breath stirred against the side of her neck as he leaned in just enough for her to hear him over the whispering tendrils. βNow I know the price of losing someone.β
The tendrils loosened slightly,before they faded into nothing, dissolving into the night air.
He tilted his head, eyes half-lidded and faintly glowing as he regarded her. βAnd why,β he drawled, amusement returning to his tone, βwould I care what the Zone thinks?β A crooked smirk curved his lips. βI always come out on top, remember?β
Belial could sense his evol even before it touched her and even then a small gasp of surprise passed her lips as she felt herself tugged backwards. He had always been so warm and even with the most barely there touches like this, Belial could feel the warmth of him settling against her skin and seeping into her very being.
His last line made her chuckle but her mind still lingered on his words before that. Foolish wouldn't have been a word she used to describe him.
"You were young, Sylus." Belial whispered, closing her eyes and tilting her head to the side as goosebumps prickled along her skin as the tendrils left her, like her body was protesting the loss.
"You and that...sorceress of yours. Young ones are meant to be foolish, you're meant to learn from it and grow and..." She trailed off, eyes opening slowly while her head tilted backwards to look up at him. Belial didn't continue immediately as she spared a moment just to look at him.
Even before her memories of all the times before this life kicked in, Belial had dreamed about this face, as blurry as it all might've been. It left lingering familiarity so deep in her soul that it seemed to ache until their reunion. Even now there are moments where it aches even in his presence.
"Even dragons can be foolish in the face of their love, you know?" She nodded slowly, looking almost sympathetic.
Darkened lilac seemed to swirl both in surprise and in mild amusement as the idol had inadvertently crowded the young woman's personal space. He had been warned the meet and greets were starting soon, his manager had nagged and went on over five times about how he was to be present and not be late. But, as was typical of him, he was late, not because he had forgotten (of course not), but because he had got caught up helping one of the stage hands and now he was stuck behind the crowd.
Normally, he wouldn't have minded revealing himself (and causing everyone a panic and heart attack), but at the sight of someone hiding as far as possible from the lined group, he had gotten curious... Unfortunately that had led to him being nearly pushed into her space and crowding her, arms moving to the wall behind her, the position compromising enough as it was and yet, she only seemed... annoyed and that was infinitely funnier to him.
"Everyone's? No. Yours? Yes." He teased without missing beat as he gave her a wide, grin. "Ya know, usually people here are falling over themselves to be noticed, not hiding like a little mouse behind bags to read... what is that? Fanfiction? Or a book?" At the crowds heightened excitement, voices growing as he assumed the other members were coming out, he glanced over his shoulder, before ducking his head a little lower. "Well... now we might both get into trouble." It was half a joke as he hummed and moved a step back a little, so she wasn't as dwarfed by him. "Though... if you rather be reading, what are you doing here?" He asked, unable to help himself. He was gonna get an earful anyways, might as well satisfy his curiosity of the odd girl before he made a bigger spectacle.
The proximity had Belial shrinking in on herself slightly, peering around him to catch glimpses of the crowd lining up behind him. She knew just who he was now that she got a proper look at him, he was a particular favorite in her friend group and in all honesty, Belial could understand why.
He had quite the boyish charm to him and it only made her wonder more just how much of it was an act put on for the fans.
"My friends had an extra spot to fill and it's hard enough recently for me to go out with them, so..." She trailed off, making a small gesture around them as her eyes returned upwards to meet Caleb's gaze. "I use reading as inspiration for songwriting." Belial added. "I'm familiar enough with your group as is, maybe one of these days you'll end up with a song I produced." She shrugged loosely.
Then her eyes darted back down to her phone screen.
"Boy groups are a lot easier to write for anyways." Belial mumbled.

idol!au belial-
Sylus huffed out a low laugh, the kind that rumbled deep in his chest. His gaze slid to the still-smoking wreckage around them, metal twisted and glowing faintly from residual heat. βIf Iβd really lost my cool,β he drawled, voice quiet but edged with something darkly honest, βthis entire sector wouldβve been levelled.β
He straightened a little, rolling his shoulders as if shaking off the remnants of battle. βJust slipped for a second,β he admitted under his breath, tone laced with reluctant reflection. βCanβt say itβs easyβ¦ watching someone aim at you.β
The words hung in the air for a moment before he reached out, hand moving with unexpected gentleness. His fingers brushed against her hair, threading lightly through the strands until they found the space between her horns. He ruffled her hair with a casual familiarity that felt both teasing and oddly grounding.
His fingers lingered for just a second longer than necessary before he pulled back, gaze lingering on her face. βNext time,β he added quietly, βdonβt give me a reason to actually lose my cool.β
She watched him move, every subtle twitch of muscle and every gentle shift in expression and tone went unmissed. Belial secretly adored this part, after fights when the adrenaline was cooling down and their skin still hot from battle.
Though his words had her face heating up more than usual and it seemed to only be capitalized by him as Belial felt his fingers running through her hair, stopping between her horns and ruffling.
Her head immediately pressed upwards against Sylus's palm, cat-like in nature and she found that as more time went on, the more she craved moments like this. That was until his hand finally pulled away and Belial was nearly pouting.
"Fights here are so unpredictable though. It's not like I made them aim at me." Belial whispered as her eyes narrowed a centimeter. "If you hadn't said something, I wouldn't think you could lose your cool. I don't think I ever saw you do so, even back then." She sighed, spinning on her heel to turn her back to him like she was planning to walk off.
"Better be careful, though. Can't let the whole Zone know you're getting soft on me." Belial added with a nonchalant little shrug, peering slightly over her shoulder at him.
@abyssaldesire (teehee idol au-)
Belial had been near pouting the whole time, much to her friend group's chagrin, as she had been the unlucky soul friend to fill the empty slot they had in their group for this concert or whatever they had ended up dragging her to.
It's not like she disliked whoever they were seeing, nor was it the atmosphere. It just wasn't her thing.
Nor was backstage, in fact it might've been worse than being out with the general crowd. The eager squeals of her friends were more concentrated despite how hard Belial tried to focus on the words on the screen of her phone.
Until the squeals turned into more hushed, quickened whispers as Belial found herself being slightly more crowded against the stack of travel cases she was basically trying to hide behind. So much for that attempt.
The man before her did look familiar, standing in front of her like he owned every bit of the space. Just like he owned every bit of the stage.
Belial pressed her phone against her chest, her nose wrinkling ever so slightly as she stared up at the man with faintly narrowed eyes.
"Do you invade everyone's personal space like this?" She asked surprisingly bluntly. Like being interrupted in the middle of her reading was akin to a cardinal sin.

museβs reaction
There was the faintest of trembling in her fingers as she wiped the skin at his jaw clean, blood smearing against the pads of her fingers before wiping it away against the dark fabric of her pants.
Her peripheral had been on him the whole fight, her subconscious keeping an eye on him to make sure he remained safe. But it seemed, as per usual, he was always looking out more for her safety as evidenced by the sudden outburst when the weapon had turned its sights onto her instead.
It made her feel greedy.
Belial was knocked out of her reverie when he leaned into her hand and spoke, her gaze refocusing as she smiled. Sylus was always so much sweeter in moments like this, however fleeting, and it made sparks of warmth ripple across Belial's very being.
"Aside from a few developing bruises, I'm fine." She reassured him, moonlight catching against divots in her horns as her head tilted like she was mimicking him. "You on the other hand...seems you lost your cool there towards the end."
Belial found that the more and more time spent in his presence, the more she couldn't help but want to tease him more and more.
