Whoever has touted the saying ‘communication is key’ deserves to be stabbed several times. Unless that person is Belial, who’d probably enjoy such a punishment a little too much.
In any case, those spiels about being honest with one’s desires? About communicating with the other party to convey his wants? What a load of nonsense!
He could only bow his head, hands clammy like they’ve been drenched in lukewarm coffee. Oh, how he wishes that all those nonsense about the approaching doomsday are actually true, instead of just wishful thinking from idiots. At least, if the world ends right now, he doesn’t have to lift his head and face reality.
There’s silence from Lucifer-sama in front of him.
Worse than the thought of making a fool of himself, is the thought of disappointing Lucifer-sama so thoroughly that he doesn’t even have words for him. Even if Belial’s mouth is full of lewd nonsense, he at least still gets a chuckle from Lucifer-sama, instead of utter silence! Has he been demoted to someone even beneath that perverted idiot? What nonsense! He really shouldn’t have opened his mouth!
In order to save his situation, he opens his mouth. “That… Lucifer-sama, I didn’t mean it in a… strange way. I just thought that it’d be nice if we could do… that too. If it’s too embarrassing, we could do it at night instead, or in my room, instead of out in the public.” He swallows hard. “Or we could not do it at all. I don’t mean to rush you, it’s not that I think I’m entitled to it just because you’ve agreed to date me! It’s just that—”
“Sandalphon,” breaks the silence, gentle as always. “I did not agree to date you.” Before he could feel his heart shatter, it’s been swiftly remade. “We agreed to date each other. It is a mutual agreement.”
Even if he has resolved to never lift his head again out of shame, he still ends up looking up at Lucifer-sama. He can’t help it. “…Oh.”
“And I am glad that you talked to me about this. I have wanted to do it with you too, but I was afraid of pushing the boundaries too fast.” There’s a faint blush on Lucifer-sama’s face, and so any possibilities of the apocalypse happening must be canceled, because the world deserves to continue existing. “I have longed to do it with you too, Sandalphon.”
In fact, he really should make sure that the world continues to exist, because there’s no way he’d allowed anything to get in-between them at the moment. “Lucifer-sama…”
The blush deepens. “In fact, would it be too forward if I ask that we do it now?”
Now? Now?? But he isn’t prepared! He needs to mentally prepare himself! He can’t just do it in public without any preparation!
But Lucifer-sama is looking at him with those eyes, and so his mouth ends up saying, “Yes, I’m ready.”
Even with those words, both of them end up staring at each other, moving infinitesimally closer with each breath. His fingers tingle, and he could feel his entire body sweating at the thought of finally, finally doing it with Lucifer-sama, just a little a bit more—
Belial’s rare impatient voice cuts in, “Can you guys hurry up and hold hands already? Faa-san has already fallen asleep waiting for you two to stop blocking the door.”
