"I must be your inspiration to music. Your muse. Now to get you to sing more often just for me."
Xhiero blushed and looked away.
"I would be lying if I said no. It is a different side to you...and you are soft." He shook his head. "No, I mean they are soft, but they are a part of you so...you are...soft."
"Well, obviously I'd never sing at all, especially not around other people, so it isn't really a problem. But, why would you want me to sing for only you?" She asks tilting her head and looking at him curiously.
Azazel laughs and kisses his cheek. "If you would like I can.. show them.. more often. When the tail will not be in the way in any case. The ears are not such a bother except they ruin my intimidating appearance."
"It is true that you are already special to me. Have I not been convincing enough about that? I can assure you that no other person has been allowed this much... affection or attention from me."
She grins at him, but looks slightly taken aback by his question, shifting uncomfortably and staring down into her drink again.
"Oh really? I bet you can still intimate a couple men like that." Xhiero grabbed his glass from the counter and downs it. His hand moved to the chocolate bottle.
"I should finish this...no one really drinks this but you."
"Because he is your father? He did try to make you happy earlier by talking about something else other then music right? It was all for you." Val wrapped his arm around Susan. "Your turn to return the favor for your daddy. Go sing him a little song. You care for him too right?"
Azazel watches him curiously and shrugs. "If you would like. Though, as you said, do not drink so much that you spend your evening in the bathroom instead of with me."
While not terrible, irritation and embarassment causes her voice to waver again.
Fredworthy's face splits into a huge grin.
"I knew you loved music, Songbird!"
Susan's eyes widen as she realizes what is about to happen. She attempts to run off but does not manage to escape before being swept into an incredibly tight hug.
"Faaaathhherrr, let go!"
"I'm just so happy!" Fredworthy declares, hugging her more tightly. "I should bring you home right now! We can tell your mother about how much you love music!"
Val groan and walked over to the pair. He joins into the hugging and moved his lips towards Fredworthy.
"Mr Evensong. Baby steps...be happy she's singing for you now. With due time she will sing for her mother. Patience."
The demon takes advantage of this and tries to give Fredworthy a bone crushing hug.

"I am a member of the Yumisaki family. Alcohol won't defeat me that easily." Xhiero said as he chugs the entire bottle dry. Only a hint of redness appear on his face.
Throwing back his head and laughing loudly, Fredworthy pats Val on the back with enough force to send him flying forward.
"Your skills are improving, My Boy!" With a sigh he sets Susan down on the floor.
"I believe it is time for me to return home. I had considered bringing you with me, yet I get the feeling someone would be quite... upset if I tried to abscond with you." He gives Val a pointed look.
"I should be able to hold my drinks. I am a bartender after all." He covered his mouth to hide a yawn and put the empty bottle down. Xhiero placed his head on her shoulder.
"Why am I tired...must be from the singing. That must be it."
"It might be for the best, Mr. Evensong. I promise you, your precious little Song Bird will be in good hands." Val grinned at him despite his look.
"Of course. Why would I sleep without you." Val smiled and wrapped his arms around her. When Val made it to the bedroom, he falls onto the bed with the bathrobe still on. He looks up at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to come.
Xhiero watched as she changed out of her clothes and pulling his spare clothes from the drawer to change into.
"Stealing my clothes again?" He sigh. His expression quickly changed to a smile at the sight of her in skull pj pants that were to long for her and an over sized black T-shirt with a large skull design on it. Xhiero quickly changed into his own set of comfortable clothes before climbing into his twin bed. He cuddles up next to Azazel and spoons her.
Susan flops onto the bed next to him and rests her head on his chest. Apparently, the day was exhausting for her as well, because she passes out almost instantly.
