Azazel returns his kiss, but grins broadly up at him when they part for air. "The tides have indeed turn, but do not get too cocky, love. You have left yourself open.."
Her new angle from below him allows Azazel to merely lift her head to press a kiss to Xhiero's throat and gently bites him before pulling back. "But I shall return your mercies and not torture you too much."
"I don't think I can forgive you after you initiated an attack, love." He moves in and whispers into her ear. "Besides, I like it when you torture me."
"I cannot possible do anything cruel to such a lovely, fair maiden as you." He tried to hold back his laughter as he gaze back into her eyes. Xhiero's hand slipped away from her and swipes a clump of frosting from the cake.
"Ahh, but sadly I am not a kind, just prince as many thought I am." His lips curved into a smirk. He wiped the frosting across her neck. Without saying another word he lowered himself to lick her neck clean.
"Did my kiss break a spell? Is the damsel showing her true form?" He cleanse off the rest of the chocolate from her neck and pulled her up from the water. Xhiero stepped out and went to grab a towel. Draping it over her head and ruffling it dry. He grabbed his own towel and dried himself off. Wrapping it around his waist and picking up the cold tray of food to put it away in the kitchen.
"I believe that is a spell you broke long ago." Azazel pulls the towel from get head and dries herself off before heading to the bedroom. She pulls open a dresser drawer only to be reminded that she brought no clothes here yet.
With a shrug, she tosses the towel into the clothes basket and climbs into the bed.
Xhiero walked into the bedroom, his clothes back on his body. He arched an eyebrow at Azazel laying nude on the bed.
"Did you...have plans in mind before bedtime?" He turned to look at a drawer that was open to find it empty. Xhiero laughed at her and walked over to the bed. He sat down on the edge and ran his hand through her hair. "Shall I go back to town to get you some clothes?"
Azazel stifles a yawn and shakes her head. "Do not bother. Sleeping naked does not bother me." She wiggles beneath the covers and buries her face into the pillow with a contented sigh.
She blindly thrusts a hand out to grab Xhiero and pull him onto the bed with her before drifting off to sleep.
He smiled and sigh. Xhiero let her pulled him into the bed and held her close to him. He instantly drifted off to sleep on the comfortable bed. Azazel really knows her furniture.
Susan and an incredibly nervous looking intern retreat into the kitchen. While their voices can be heard, it is difficult to make out exactly what they are saying. At least until one word cuts through the air.
"WHAT?!"
A terrified Fluffernutter darts out of the kitchen and runs through the bar dashing towards the door.
"I'm sorry Ms. Evensong!" Susan darts out of the kitchen after him clearly seething with rage.
"You knew?! You knew the whole time and you didn't think to fucking mention it?!" She growls through clenched teeth. She pulls out her remote and glares causing Fluffernutter to let loose a panicked shriek and escape out the front door with Susan following closely behind.
Azazel slides out of bed the next morning and heads down into the kitchen, grabbing the leftover mac and cheese for breakfast.
Where did he even get stuff to make this? We did not go grocery shopping. She shakes her head and decides not to question it too much because damn if she isn't hungry.
Val watch the scene before him and quickly got out of his seat. He grabbed Susan's wrist and pulled her back.
"Susan, calm down. You may make things worse chasing him like that. What did he say to you?"
"Good morning." Xhiero yawned as he walked into the kitchen. He walked up to Azazel and rest his head on her back. His eyes opened at the contact of her bare skin. Xhiero's head jerked up.
"Why are you eating breakfast naked?" He walked back to the bathroom to retrieve her clothes.
Val grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Susan, tell me. You can trust me."
Xhiero returned with her old set of clothes and placed it on the table.
"You can't really go shopping naked." He laughed and pecked her on the cheek. He sat down next to her and watched her eat. His hand smoothing out her hair.
"But you are standing here, in front of me.." Val placed his hands on her shoulders and tightly squeezed her.
"How could you have...died."
"I made it clear that I do not mind shopping with you. I bet this is the best place for you to find clothes suited for your taste. Nothing pink, I am safe." He held onto her hand and guided her out of the house back to the stores. They headed straight for the clothing stores as Xhiero pushed Azazel into a lingerie store playfully and dart away.
Azazel spots Xhiero sitting on the curb of the street, licking an ice cream cone. Conveniently he was in front of a some clothes store. He waved her over, but as she got closer his eyes fell to the bags. Xhiero froze midway through licking the ice cream as the scoop fell onto the ground.
"Wait...W-what? Why did you? What did you...." He stammered as his face turned red. Xhiero bolted up and headed inside the store.
"I'm going to look for clothes..."
Val walked her over to a couch and gently pushed her down to sit. He settle down next to her. His hand holding onto her's.
"Tell me everything. I can handle it.." Val gave her a weak smile. "Everything is fine right? You are still here with me."
