Gabriel leaned into Azriel, taking warmth from the demon. He giggled, holding onto Azriel’s arms. This only felt natural. There was nothing strange about it. Just comfort. He yawned, smiling up at Azriel. He may have had a life back home, but he was also establishing one here. Both were desirable, and he half wished one could travel between both worlds — without punishment. But nothing would change. He figured monsters obstinate creatures, not wanting their precious world infiltrated by a single human. Gabriel sighed, accepting bits of food from Azriel. He closed his eyes, letting himself relax against Azriel, not realizing he ate all his food. It was strange. Eating everything off the plate. Everything was perfect the way it was — until Azriel got up. Gabriel’s eyes grew wide, wrapping his legs around Azriel’s waist, leaning his head into his shoulder.
The walk to the bedroom wasn’t bad. Gabriel noticed how full he was. It was strange. Everything was strange. But soon, the soft mattress lay underneath him, sinking into it. He smiled up at Azriel, batting his innocent eyes. Gabriel hadn’t noticed his wound — he couldn’t feel it. Each moment disguised the pain. He welcomed the emotions, trying to dull the aching pain in the back of his head.
