humanity’s most powerful sorcerer got himself some well-deserved kisses <3

[rsmrymnt-tea]

got dola/sol on the mind a lot… probs because i’m really tired today… just thinking about them being all sweet and fluffy >.<

thinking about dola just relaxing on the sofa with a good book when sol finally arrives from a long research trip. he’s tired—not even enough energy or willpower to go change into something comfier.

he kicks off his shoes by the door then drops his coat over one of the armchairs as he approaches her. dola greets him with a warm smile and he feels a little of his energy come back, but it’s not enough.

she can tell what he wants and puts down the book. her arms are wide open for him as he crawls over and onto her, burying his face in her stomach. he says something, but its muffled. warm hands rub soothing circles on his back, and once he gets feels himself grow a little more energized he lifts himself higher to silently ask for a kiss.

and she gives him one, of course, on the forehead with her hands cupping his face. then another on the tip of his nose, on his eyelid, on his cheeks, the corners of his lips. he cant help but smile and chuckle before closing the gap between them to give her a kiss on the lips.

“feel better?” she asks, forehead pressed against his.

“just a little,” he replies, earning himself a playful roll of the eyes. but she plays along and kisses him again, this time longer, deeper, only pulling away to catch her breath.

“and now?”

“a little better.”

they laugh and he rolls them both onto their sides. they’re smiling, eyes twinkling as they gaze at each other. he tucks her hair behind her ear then caresses her cheek with his thumb. her smile turns softer, and so does her voice.

“i missed you,” she says, nearly whispering. he returns her tenderness, closing the gap once more another sweet kiss.

“i missed you too.”

[rsmrymnt-tea]

Ugh thinking so hard about how slowly it sinks in for Dola that Solomon’s genuinely happy to be her mentor and how baffling it is to her that he quickly considers her his equal the moment she becomes a fully licensed sorcerer. How quickly ‘apprentice’ becomes a teasing endearment instead of her actual title to him despite how much more she has to go because what is three years to three thousand?

And Dola’s just unable to really comprehend how or why he just accepts her like that even as she’s helping him with high level spell development or accompanying him on research trips around the world. For a while some part of her wonders whether it’s all too good to be true, until one day someone makes a snide comment doubting her abilities and crediting all that she is to Solomon and Solomon only. It’s the first time she sees his eyes come alive with anger, and before she could say anything he begins his own spiel in her defense, and it’s her first time she seeing just how sharp his tongue and venomous his bite is.

It’s not the first she’s been defended—Satan, his brothers, Diavolo, and sometimes even Luke have stepped up to keep her name clear, and Solomon himself had defended her before as a friend. But as a mentor?

Dola wonders why she ever even doubted him.

Well, she knows why. Mentors of blood relation mad that their student surpassed them so quickly had no problem taking their anger and envy out on her. Demanding perfection, irate at the slightest mistake, past assurances of endless support made empty and meaningless once she learned within a few years what took them decades. You’ll never be enough, they said. You should be better than this by now.

She wonders why she ever had the audacity to lump Solomon in with those monsters when all signs pointed that no, he’s nothing like them. He’s always been gentle, always patient, and never failed to offer guidance as she fumbled her way through teaching herself magic after her first year in the Devildom.

He’s been nothing but encouraging even before he’d formally become her mentor, always quick to praise achievements and quicker to sooth frustrations. Each question she had was met with a thorough, happily delivered answer, and even her attempts to purposely rile him up were responded to with teasing callouts and at most, playful retaliation.

When he reassures her that that insignificant pest that dared slander her had no clue what he was saying, she’s reminded why she was drawn to apprentice under him in the first place.

And her heart softens.

I just got enough story keys to get to the end of the key route and omg 🥺

[rsmrymnt-tea]

Iah!!!! How does Dola and Solomon's first kiss go??

- 🐝

askjdh for some reason this makes me really shy typing it out >.<

Sorry this took a while, I honestly hadn’t thought about it until you asked since I’m not even sure how Sol and Dola get together yet? I just know that I want a few years of pining involved + they get together after Satan and Dola are an item. I just feel like Sol just wouldn’t act on his feelings for a while since Dola’s already with Satan by the time he realizes his feelings and those two seem really happy >.>

I think Dola and Solomon’s first kiss would happen on their first date, which I fully believe Solomon would put a whole lot of effort into to really sweep her off her feet considering how long she’s been with Satan by that point. Though it wouldn’t be coming from a place of wanting to show her he’s better than Satan, but just from the eagerness to impress and make her happy even if he doesn’t need to? The man himself’s thrilled and probs juuust a bit nervous about a new serious relationship after who knows how long

As for what their first date is… It’s very heavily inspired by the card where Solomon takes MC out on a date flying through the night sky. Like… Holy shit that card? I couldn’t help but scream when I got that card since I saw a video of it and I just dfhkjdhf

Because the thought of Solomon taking her to the skies for the first time as their first date? Him taking her to a beautiful, incredibly secluded spot far into the depths of the Devildom’s primeval forests? Somewhere where the stars have been untouched by Diavolo’s influence, where there is no mark of anything demon-made or hints that anyone had ever been there besides Solomon himself?

He’d take her to that spot he’d found where they’ll have a little meal that he cooked (because we’re giving his cooking some development after he gets told the first time that it’s bad and goes to Dola for lessons as per that one chat). After the pleasant meal, he shows her a few more amazing little spots where Devildom flowers free and unhindered, and the trees are so big and gnarled that even in her immortality Dola feels so helplessly young in front of it before settling down and relaxing with a bit of stargazing. They take a little bit of the forest home, they’d done it before in search of potion ingredients after all.

So Solomon enchants a flower to keep its freshness before tucking it behind Dola’s ear, and in that moment of closeness they can’t help but stare at each other so warm, so tender. The gap between them slowly closes until their eyes flutter closed and lips finally meet, the contact so sweet and full of gentle love and longing fulfilled—

Then they’re so giggly right after, finding the wanted strangeness of finally kissing the best friend they’d loved both platonically and romantically so exciting and new and so strangely ticklish somewhere near the heart. They’re both happy, but I think Dola won’t ever be able to full comprehend just how happy Solomon is because he’s been pining for so much longer and had to do a good job of hiding it around everyone, with the exception of perhaps Asmo, the only one of them who’s known Solomon for so long that there’s no way he wouldn’t notice anything.

fkjasjdfk anyway this reeks of self-indulgence but imo until Solomon and Dola get really settled into their relationship it’s going to be a lot of Solomon doing his best to impress her on their dates? For some reason part of me thinks that he’s going to feel like he has to consistently earn Dola’s affections even in a relationship with her until Dola notices what he’s doing and reassures him repeatedly until he truly buys it >.> And likewise for her tbh like I feel like her relationship with Sol has a different set of issues v her relationship with Satan? But yeah sdfhjksd that’s how I think their first kiss goes aaaAAAAA I felt so shy typing it all out I couldn’t get into writing a whole thing for it even though I really wanted to (will probs do it properly eventually when I can write people kissing without feeling like I’m a child watching a romcom with their parents sdhjfksdhf)

[rsmrymnt-tea]

I can see Satan really enjoying Dola's crush once he's settled into the idea of it. It's just such an opportunity, to be able to see her like that with the outsider perspective? He was probably overthinking her actions a lot during their crush stage, so now he just gets to take everything in. He can see little details that he missed the first time around, and things that he didn't realize she does with him because he's too busy being lovestruck to notice.

And!!! This time she has someone to talk to about everything? And I mean just like fully gush, and whine, and rant to her hearts content. And he can listen and offer support and insight. She was so scared originally that her feelings for Solomon would push Satan away, but instead it's actually bringing them closer together, strengthening their relationship.

And of course the teasing!! I like to think he has like, little pranks he plays on the pair. Nothing to hurt them or make them super uncomfortable, but a spell that means they're stuck holding hands, or putting them in positions to play knight for each other. Also:

Satan: I'll push him down the stairs and you can catch him and say [cheesy line from his most recent romance novel]

Dola: Absolutely Not.

I'm actually pretty happy for Solomon and Dola's first date to be a bit awkward. I like Solomon failing to consider that it could be awkward to be that alone, or even the implications of it. I like them realizing where they are, becoming so aware of their own bodies down to each individual atom. Their relationship has changed but they've not yet worked out their new boundaries. They want to kiss so bad, and now they're actually allowed to, they don't know what to do with their hands.

The cooking lessons 🥺 I only just realised that it's a role reversal with who's student and who's teacher. How vulnerable must it have been for Solomon to accept that his cooking isn't good, that he couldn't even tell and no one was willing to tell him? How long has it been since he's genuinely been a student? How does it feel to see Dola take his request to teach him so seriously, to see the grace with which she steps into the mentor role?

The domesticity of standing side by side in comfortable silence chopping veggies, arms brushing a little. The feeling of her chin on his shoulder as she stands on tiptoes to see what he's doing, and the steady grip of her hand over his adjusting his technique. When it gets warm because they've been running the oven and stove all day, she pushes up her sleeves. And he's seen her like this before, during a night when a potions lesson carried on for hours because she was determined to get it right; sleeves up, hair coming loose, bent over a recipe with a crease between her brows. Here though it's different, here she is in charge, and it makes his heart clench.

The first time he finishes cooking a meal without her help he's so nervous for her to try it, but she holds his hands and doesn't flinch when she bites into what he made. It's not perfect but it's still edible, maybe even good, and her praise sends him over the moon.

Y'know I didn't think about involving Asmo but like... He's known both Solomon and Satan for so long? He could probably be really reassuring to Dola if they talked about it before Satan's revealed that he knows. Also really into the idea of Asmo just walking into a room with Dola and Sol and just knowing, because pining is basically a form of lust. Solomon would have to command him to keep his mouth shut though, or else the entire Devildom might hear about it.

I've never actually heard of mana burn out but it's such a good idea?? I wish they'd done that in canon. MC being in steadily weakening state while the responsibilities pile up (and wow you're right that is A Lot). The scene with Lucifer and the knife with MC being barely strong enough to stand on their own?? It would've been so good.

Does Dola tell the brothers about her symptoms? I'm kinda feeling like the answer's no. But Satan would figure out something is off, and then it's the angst of being separated by an entire realm and knowing your partner is ill and refusing to seek treatment and oh fuck what if she's dying?? Somebody tell Dola she can change her emergency contacts before Satan has a heart attack.

The guest room.... Dola looks up one day and the space that used to just be hers has become his without either of them realizing. He has protective sigils carved into each doorframe, and a pile of ambiguously clean laundry at the end of the bed- his bed, the entire room smells like him. She goes to the store and buys things that he likes to eat, and doesn't complain too much when he clears a shelf in her pantry to store his potion ingredients in. It used to be the guest bedroom, but now she can't see anyone else using that space, she can scarcely believe it wasn't his from the very beginning. One day she comes home to find her painting the room some outrageous colour, and she's not even angry, she laughs so warmly and cleans a drop of paint from his cheek and offers to help.

Solomon having to believe for even a second that Dola's been killed because she didn't tell him she's immortal now?? Iah, that's so evil!!! I hope that Dola was meaning for it to be revealed on a special occasion or something because I really don't know how she's going to get around not saying so otherwise...

But also now I'm AU-ing: when she's killed it's at a point where she hasn't completely finished becoming immortal, and that reality breaking magic her other self had touched springs forward in her last moments and she's just able to self-necromance. Now both her boyfriends have trauma about her dying!!

I think I spent too long on this and my brain turned to mush but I hope it's not too obvious lol.

- 🐝

:0 this is perfectly coherent, don’t worry about it!! And hsfkjshd all the little scenarios you mentioned…. Really makes me wanna paint each of them >.<

First of all: YES YES you get it nonnie!! I just really think Satan would be so amused seeing what a lovestruck Dola looks like now that he’s not stressing out so bad on figuring out whether she likes him or not. For sure they’ve had those talks where they just reminisce about their pining stage of their relationship so with all that knowledge about Dola in mind, when he sees her with Solomon he’d have such a good time teasing her about it sdhfjdf He’d be so annoying honestly lmaooo >.< I feel like he’d also be so entertained by watching Solomon go through what he himself did and would get a kick out of pointing out those little hints of reciprocation to her once Asmo helps him confirm that Sol feels the same way (“Dola, how do you still think he doesn’t like you back? He looks at you the same way I do!”)

And my gosh the mental image of her freaking out over Solomon while Satan reassures and encourages her ;w; Back when she was going through this for Satan she really didn’t have anyone she wanted to confide in since she wasn’t really planning on doing anything with her feelings so being able to just… Let it all out’s new and refreshing! Literally has her feeling like a teenager with how much she’s losing her cool over Solomon and Satan’s probs like “how were you able to keep all this in when you were crushing on me without imploding?” While also internally thinking that he’s going to figure out how to actually murder Solomon if he breaks her heart because for sure Dola’s insecurities start coming up again the closer she gets to the point of really needing and wanting to confess. Like… I think this would also bring up some stuff that Satan didn’t know about Dola? There would be at least one time where she lets it slip that she doesn’t think she’s good enough for Solomon and the whole exchange leads to Satan realizing that she doesn’t think she’s good enough for him either.

So I guess the whole thing is very eye opening to Satan because stuff that she’s managed to bury since settling into her relationship with Satan comes up again, and they both realize that’s that stuff’s never actually been addressed, just set aside. And as they actually tackle that stuff it really does strengthen their relationship more than either of them expected it to.

Of course some of the stuff never really gets ‘fixed’ and kinda just stays with Dola forever even when her relationship with Solomon grows stable and strong. Both Sol and Satan realize at some point that there are just some things that they can’t really do anything about or help Dola with aside from reminding her that they’re there for her whenever she has her days when she’s just Going Through It.

Agdjshaa nonnie did you see the hard mode lesson where Solomon actually does hear that his cooking’s always been awful from Asmo?? Then goes to Simeon to confirm??? He’s just so sad :((( Unfortunately Simeon’s attempt to teach him ended in failure so in my canon after that his last resort is to go to Dolasach for her guidance >.< Not thoughts because she’s always been a bit vocal (constructively) about something being off with his cooking while also being the only one amongst everyone to be able to eat his food without nearly dying every time.

(I like thinking that he’s always thought she’s a picky eater because no one ever says anything but after Asmo tells him the truth he’s like okay… Maybe she does know what she’s talking about ahsjshsj lmao)

UGH nonnie… Do you know how many times the cheesy ‘guiding his hand by holding it as he juliennes some veggies’ scenario popped into my head while thinking about Dola teaching him how to cook? The times where he can tell she’s starting to get genuinely frustrated by his playful stubbornness with adding semi-deadly potion ingredients to whatever dish they’re trying to make so he lays off and resists the urge to kiss the crease between her brows away?? Oh and the staple of marking each other’s faces with flour or sauce or batter like agsjaha Or one night he’s insistent on baking a cake for Luke for his birthday so they try and try and try, and it’s just so hot in the kitchen that his bangs stick to his forehead so she gently brushes it away and clips it back with a little hairclip while he’s trying to review where he went wrong??? Also thinking so hard about him getting a little flustered when she holds a spoon to his mouth to taste some risotto she’s trying to show him how to make agsjaha

I can’t get enough of domestic fluff in the kitchen oh my god >.< I like to think that usually it’s just them alone too since no one wants to stick around and risk having to eat whatever Solomon makes, so later when either Satan or Asmo sees them cooking together they’re like… oh… yeah those two need to talk lmaooo

Him being nervous about giving her something he cooked himself!! Sends me back to when I cooked something for my roommate for the first time and I was so nervous about what she’d think shsjaha just him putting himself out there by being a student to his student so that his friends no longer dread when he cooks for them???? In love with it, nonnie… like he’s cool about it on the outside but inside he is yelling lmfao

AHDKSAH nonnie omg the whole Asmo thing adds a whole layer to it. I talked about it ages ago with a mutual because of an RP where something like this is happening too but Asmo would just know from sensing from Solomon even from their first year in the Devildom that he’s getting interested in Dola BUT also sees clear as day that his brother’s already straight up in love with her and senses from Dola that she reciprocates!! Not even sure what Asmo would do? But yeah for sure Solomon has to order him to stay quiet about it (which probably becomes a reason why he likely won’t directly tell Solomon that Dola finally reciprocates when she does, with the other reason being respect for Dola’s privacy… His pettiness just motivates him to stay even more quiet lol)

And gosh yeah… I really wanted there to be more consequences regarding the whole The Ring deal? I think something being up with MC that no one understands would’ve added to the underlying plot of S2. I also headcanon that if Dola doesn’t have the Ring of Light on for too long she starts feeling awful again + her own magic becomes volatile and difficult to control. She and the three realms are all doomed without the ring, and it’s one reason why she wants to still be able to die one day if needed

Also yeah Dola would like… Keep whatever she’s going through to herself for a while. In my head it’s like… She just has too many irons in the fire with finishing her final year of uni, doing freelance work as an artist, and continuing what she can of her magic studies on her own to spend several weeks getting tested and assessed in the hospital. And since she doesn’t want to get bugged about going by anyone, she doesn’t say anything to anyone. Solomon only finds out because he visited her on a day when it’s extra bad and impossible to hide. I feel like he’d assume it’s something treatable at a hospital because why would he think it was mana burn when she can’t do anything that could possibly be that draining? And for a while she’d refuse to go until Satan finds about, and with pretty much all the brothers + Sol insisting (plus her health worsening over time), she finally goes but only after her emergency contact was changed to Solomon at her insistence (which makes me wonder what surname he uses in the human world?). Tbh I think she probably gets (mis)diagnosed with something after a long, long process of getting various tests done but nothing solid coming up? And that’s what she believes until Solomon finally breaks it to her much later on that it’s not that, and that this whole time she’s been dealing with long-term worsening mana burn because of The Ring.

Now that I think about it, I’m very sure Dola would be mad that Solomon didn’t say anything sooner? But it quickly turns to being absolutely livid at Diavolo for making them all hide it from her and everyone else. The fact that Sol’s been wanting to come clean about it to the point of going against Diavolo behind his back saved him from Dola’s longer term anger >.> But Dia just… continues to do no favors for himself when it comes to getting on her good side…

And aaaaAAAA the little thing about the guest room!! Giving me brainworms shdfjkshdf

Thinking about her finding herself spending more time in there whenever he’s away—it may be his room now but he still has his own actual home to return to, and adventures to be had on his own. Each time she’s there the notices something new, something different. Perhaps he’s brought more empty vials for potions, or left a new bundle of herbs and flowers to dry. Is that a new crystal? Another black sweater? Maybe he catches on that she hangs out there lots and leaves little things for her to find, like little notes or small origami critters that move on their own for a little while when touched.

The surprise immortality idea came to me all of a sudden and in hindsight yeah, it’s pretty evil lmaooo >w< She’d of course have planned on telling Sol and Satan that she’s immortal but maybe something happens before she got the chance? It’ll really depend on how she ends up immortal in the first place, which I still really want to have something to do with Thirteen. Winning it from her is still such a good idea… Just gotta figure out how and when… And if there’s anything else she has to do to maintain it or any weird perks/detriments there might be to winning your immortality from a reaper.

HJKSFDJKH nonnie you’re evil too!! Making Satan see that a second time and Solomon for the first time??? 😭 But god does that word ‘necromance/r’ look so attractive… Especially since Dola’s namesakes a necromancer sjdfksdf idk why just knowing that I got her name from a necro character just makes me wanna keep making death a frequent thing for Dola… Which is ironic I guess since she’s immortal? >.<

Anyway aaaaaa my brain also mush thinking about all this >.< Probably more obvious since today I couldnt get the caffeine going in my head >.> Kinda realizing I really wanna smooth out a lotta stuff about Dola already…

[rsmrymnt-tea]

Hiya, hi, hi!!!

😮😮 Dolasach having a different birth name?? That could be fun but it does put you in the difficult position of having to find another name,, (Why are names so hard 😢😢😢) and it also low-key plays into the Lady of Masks thing too!!

For surnames,,, Solomon has to have one right?? Even if it's one he chose for himself?? Do you think there could come a time where either Dola would take his name or they'd choose one to share together 👀👀

Or or or while Dola's on a mission for the Sorcerer's Society, they have to go undercover together for whatever and they're like Well The Best Way To Do This Is To Pretend We're Married. And then they have to spend the entire time pretending they aren't over the moon about being fake married and their aliases having the same surname skdjsks

Actually this is the second ask in a row about Dola being not quite married to her bfs but I don't actually know how she feels about marriage (and in canon she likely couldn't marry Satan for a long ass time anyway,,,,)

Anyway!! I hope your wrist feels better soon. Everytime you post about you being injured I'm like Iah noooooo :((!!! So wishing you quick recovery and a little pain as possible!!

- 🐝

dfjklsdj considering how much work went into coming up with 9 unique single word names of Irish/Gaelic/Welsh origin (and uh, probably 20 more different ones I've deleted over the years) the hustle isn't new... It's actually deciding on the final name that I hate siiiiigh ddfgbshjkgfg But ooh! I honestly didn't think too much about that but that is true :0 A tie in to the Lady of Masks... Too good actually, now I'm even happier with the choice to give her a different birth name >w<

I'm still iffy on the surname, but I think for the given name I've settled on Vera. Can you picture Dola's face and personality with that name? I feel like the given name matters more than the surname so I'm more worried about that >.<

HJKFDHSDFG actually omg... I've thought about Solomon probably needing a surname for certain situations (does he bother with fake IDs?) but like... Never thought about him and Dola sharing one eventually???????? dslksdkjfg I feel like they'd do the thing where it's hyphenated if they don't choose an entirely new one to forge IDs with to go with... But also I wonder if Solomon would really be that invested in having a surname since I imagine he was born and raised during a time when surnames didn't matter? It seems like it would put him, Dola, and Satan all on more equal footing to not really care about having a surname. (Though now I'm starting to wonder about logistics since if he's going to need a surname for General Intermingling with Society Things then wouldn't Satan too??? I still have no idea if I'd prefer if the brothers all stuck with their actual names when they're out and about in the human world or if they severely underestimate how chill humans can be with ~edgy nicknames~ and opt to pick out their own human aliases?)

BUT. NONNIE. Fake marriage with Solomon?????????????? ;w; ;w; ;w;

Tbh I think when it comes to marriage, it would be something that Dola goes from never seeing happening for herself to actually being okay with it when she's immortal and has maintained a really stable and healthy relationship with Satan? Satan first because he was the first boyfriend sdjdg but she'd totally be more than okay with having Solomon as her husband too :3 Though it wouldn't really be something that she'd actively want?

It wouldn't take away from how crazy ticklish inside it makes her feel when Solomon refers to her as his wife during those missions where they need to pretend to be tho dhgjkdfh like I think being referred to as his wife would just make her feel so wanted??? Like I know it's like... A social construct... But she grew subscribing to that social construct okay??? ;w; I feel like Sol seeing her react so positively to the prospect of being his wife would make him real happy too aaaaaaaaaAAAA >w< They'd easily pass as actual newlyweds with the excited lovey dovey energy they're exuding + with how they take every chance to they get to refer to the other as 'my wife' and 'my husband' dfkdfjghfg they'd get SO annoying >w<

But also very tickled by how not too much would change?? Idk if they were expecting anything but with their matching rings and insanely long and lovely relationship they may as well already be a married couple ;w; Perhaps Solomon just needed confirmation that she'd love to be married to him? Like for some reason I can imagine that like. They both think that the other wouldn't be interested in marrying the other but surprise!! They're wrong!!!

Ugh I can see Sol trying to play it off as nothing too serious too like... "It's just for the duration for the assignment" he says, but then he's SO transparent when Dola agrees sgfhdjfghdfkj >w<

Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if Solomon would actually propose before Satan does... I can sort of see him being like "Well Satan dated her first so I'd like to beat him to the punch this time" + also the fact that there's quite literally nothing stopping him from marrying her, no weird Devildom laws or figuring out how to make a demon wedding ritual work for a human or whatever >.>

And aaa thank you for the concern Nonnie ;w; I'm also like... Iah noooo... At least when the CTS was flaring up I had a clear reason why, but this time I have literally no idea what I did to sprain my wrist :(( Should hopefully be better soon, it's not a serious sprain :>

[rsmrymnt-tea]

thinking about solomon having perfected that powder that lets anyone see who their soulmate/s through red string then trying it out on dola after she agrees to, the both of them thinking it’ll just connect her and satan… then when they use the powder, it shows the two of them connected too

just leaves them stunned, because theyd never seen each other that way before. it gets awkward—what now? dola wonders if she has to tell satan; solomon wonders if he’s made a mistake in doing this experiment in the first place. what of their friendship? how do they move forward from this?

in the end they choose to forget about it and to never talk about it again—it’s for the better, they agree. and if something were actually meant to happen, then they’ll just let it unfold without forcing it. they werent even supposed to know that they were soulmates to begin with, after all.

but sometimes, during the times they’re alone together, it’s clear from how one glances at the other that the thought lingers in their minds. how does it happen? why does it happen? and what will satan think?

even after theyre finally together, they still cant help but wonder sometimes if the incident had any say in their feelings. but they’re happy, so does it truly matter?
