One eye slid open as the comfortable silence between Jingyu and Abby was broken, sitting up from his lounging position to properly look at the other demon. "Is that answer not obvious already to you Jingyu?" He stretched slightly, moving closer to gently flick his forehead. "I followed you here on a whim for a crazy plan that may or may not work...smash."

head resting against romance's shoulder, jingyu watches— well, it's supposed to be a movie, but he is distracted. his eyes are on the screen, but he is not taking any of it in. instead, he is lost in thought, at least until romance shifts slightly and brings him back to the moment. ❛ what? no, i am not really watching . . . i was just thinking— ❜

@sajafreed ♥ movie niiiight!

truthfully, the original intent had been for all of them to sit and watch a movie together. a single movie, for one night, while they're all up here playing at being humans. but jingyu is the only one to agree to indulging him for the evening, turning the plan of team bonding into something more akin to casual date night.

or it would be, if they couldn't tell his focus is elsewhere. even with being curled up together (jingyu relaxed enough to be leaning on ro rather than the other way around that's usual for them), the movie is barely twenty minutes in before he's trying to check in. that they aren't separating is a good sign, as is not reaching for the pause or volume buttons, but there's no denying the slightly anxious curl of his fingers around the other's wrist.

"you always are," ro notes gently, glancing briefly at the screen again before attention returns to the younger demon. "i suppose it was a high hope that a movie would get that to stop awhile, even cozied up...catch me up, then. you know i always listen."

"it won't if i lose you." that is the part that matters. the thing that worries the reaper to the point of frantic, and romance for once looks every bit as upset as he feels. it's impossible not to, even as he sinks into space beside jingyu, trading a fresh cloth for the one in the other's hand. "my concern has never been about the rest of it. my concern has been about you." us.

besides, they've discussed this. maybe he hadn't let it sink in enough, last time somewhat interrupted with ro mixing flirting and fussing, but now he's too rattled for a repeat. for all else that he may be, sometimes something has to give; it seems like the part that always does when jingyu gets hurt is his calm. "...free or not, it's not worth you. not to me."

❛ if you wanted to be alone with me, all you had to do was ask. ❜

@sajafreed ♥

rationally, he knows he could simply ask. it's a conversation the pair of them have had a few times over the years, usually after romance has spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to either set things in motion so whatever he's wanting is spoken by jingyu first, or he gets impatient enough to simply take with the intent to ask forgiveness afterward if needed. tonight is an occasion of the latter, romance practically dragging the other into jingyu's room and into the bed, hungry for his attention. all of it, all to himself, even if only for a little while.

and of course, the other chooses now to tease him about it, waiting for the split second meant to take a breath between kisses. smug and confident (as he had every right to be for the way romance is practically begging for more from him), as if there had never been any shyness or hesitance over far less than this. "sometimes it's more fun not to," he murmurs with a smile of his own, drawing jingyu down against himself into another kiss, though this one is less aggressive now that they are alone. perfect.

"i like being alone with you, jingyu." a simple truth, and hardly the first time he's admitted so. maybe the first time with the other above him, but even that isn't a certainty after so long of gravitating around each other. "forgive me for not asking tonight?" ro hums, checking more to see what he'll be able to further push for than truly apologizing. it's difficult to want to when they both know how easily jingyu could stop him at any point, and ro would listen. as he always does, yielding to the other's preferences and desires for centuries, because the trade of having jingyu's attention has always been worth it.

"i promise i'll follow your lead."

❛ you're wearing my shirt again. ❜

@sajafreed 💕

romance had wondered how long it would take for the other to notice, when he had first put the stolen article on rather early in the morning. not long at all is of course the answer, jingyu clocking the shirt mere minutes after joining him on the couch. rather impressive actually, given the reaper had been curled up reading and not doing anything ostentatious to draw attention.

"i traded for one of mine," he smiles, looking plenty pleased that jingyu noticed so quickly. and near daring the other to do something about it. "you have more blues than i do."

❝ Put aside your pride and admit that you want me. ❞

@sajafreed ♥

pride? JINGYU wants to talk about setting aside pride? in a rare display of frustration at the other, the older demon is simmering over the thought; for all his own sins, that wasn't one of them. greed and vanity had their claims on romance, and he nearly gives to the temptation to push the younger away. he doesn't, but the silence that hangs in the air while trying to decide whether to treat the words as a joke or not speaks plenty on their behalf. hundreds of years of wanting and now he says something, and like that?

ro has to take a few seconds turned away to shake off the sour taste it puts in his mouth, realizing he's taking the sentence entirely too aggressively for no reason when what it really is is serving as an invitation. or it sounds like one, at least. it's easy enough to act like the glance away had been to simply check their surroundings, as if to be sure the pair of them truly are alone for the moment, but he's much slower in entering the other's space than usual and it's impossible to hide how annoyance had rattled at him no matter how briefly before being squashed.

"maybe i'm waiting to hear you say you want me," he finally answers, voice dipping low in warning as much as want. it isn't the other's fault for finding a sore spot in what surely must have been a tease, but now jingyu could deal with the consequences of having no escape from his full attention for the moment. just them? no telling what they might get up to. "between us, it may be a surprise which of us has pride to set aside over the matter."
