Oh now, that's certainly interesting. Interesting and perhaps playing a bit dirty if Lucifer is being honest, but he likes dirty and it's all he can do not to applaud his reaper's initiative as his fingers wind solidly into the man's belt loops.
"Oh darling, I'll give it as much attention as you want," he leans in again to murmur into Mattheiu's ear, giving a playful bump of his hips against his reaper's, "all you have to do is say the word."
If he wants a more memorable gala that eats the memory of before, then he’s going to loosen up more and enjoy the night. That might mean being a tad bit more ridiculous but the only opinion he cared for right now was Lucifer’s. Apparently he approved of the change in dancing position.
A low hum as he mulls it over. It fumbles into a soft laugh while he presses back into the bump. “I’ll take all the attention you’d give me,” he muses.
There's an echoed chuckle in return, fingers playing at the waistband of Mattheiu's pants as Lucifer pretends to consider his options. The pretend contemplation doesn't last long, however, as he snakes his arm around his reaper's stomach to hold him close. Damn what anyone else at the Gala would think, it didn't matter.
"Would you now?" There's an edge to his question, warm and teasing, but he doesn't mean to cause any chaos. He's just enjoying the moment, enjoying being with his partner, and enjoying the little game between them.
The tease is there but it's of a different kind, one that makes him smile rather than gasp. He lets the play linger before eventually having his hand seek out his partner's freed one and squeezing gently as they sway. The gala was merely staging, background noise and myriad of shapes, for their hallmark moment. Really he's seen a dozen brain popcorn holiday movies that have this sort going on.
He leans his head back, "I would. It'd be rude and stupid for me to deny such a thing I enjoy and cherish."
His heart skips a beat when Mattheiu's hand entwines with his own; for as much of a beacon of sin and debauchery that he was, Lucifer was always caught off guard by the sheer simplicity of such affections. It's good though, perhaps the best way that he could be surprised, and he hums his approval into his partner's temple as he presses a soft kiss there. "I enjoy that you enjoy."
It's an admission as much as it is a tease, because it's the truth: he's happiest when his reaper is happy, just by the sheer knowledge that Mattheiu deserves the best in the world. "And I will be there to constantly cherish you, never you fear."
He carefully sways them back and forth, encouraging with gentle leans and tugs without ruining the moment between the both of them. He laughs softly at the kiss, glancing back. “Glad to know that you’re favoring this night as much as I am. What’s the saying...one for the books, right?”
It was one to remember. Lucifer revealing that feelings were mutual between the two of them and well maybe the added bonus of getting rescued from boring work nonsense. “I’ll make certain to share in kind. You may scoff at it but you deserve good too.”
"For many books," he agrees, the amusement evident in his tone as he grins gently against warmed skin. It's been a night of revelations, all of them good, and one that he's certain won't fade from his memory ever. There's been something so freeing about finally letting his feelings slip, letting his reaper know just how much he really cared for him, and it's produced a certain giddiness that he's content to ride as they move together.
He laughs warmly, low and quiet, as Mattheiu continues on, and oh if his reaper only knew how much his heart had swelled with such a response. Very rarely was he used to hearing such things from anyone, and to hear them from his beloved..."Scoff I might, but whatever you deign to give, I will accept. Always from you, darling. Good or bad, though I must say I appreciate the good a little bit more."
“Many? I didn’t think you one for series.” It’s a gentle tease while he glances back at the grinning devil. Perhaps theirs would be a thrilling tale or more suitable as a warning if some people had their way with it. That’s what half of such things always go. However that would require letting people write it rather than themselves and where’s the fun in that? “I’m sure they’d make for great bodice-rippers.”
Lucifer is laughing though which even beats the lively music in what he’d rather hear. He hums contently before turning around in the embrace to gently cup Lucifer’s cheek, smiling softly up at him. “I will try my damnedest to make sure that there’s rarely the bad. I swear that to you.”
His grin goes toothy, but it's more of a good-natured thing than anything devious. There's a sparkle of mischief and amusement in his eye as he pretends to think about things for a moment or two before Mattheiu is moving and there's a hand against his cheek. Instantly the world around the both of them dissolves, the gentle pressure and warmth of skin against skin the only important thing in the midst of the dance floor.
"With you, darling," he murmurs, "even the bad is good. Because it's with you, and that's where I would prefer to be."
Is it sappy? Of course it is, but he couldn't give a damn. Instead, he's content to bask in his reaper's affections. "I must say, I'm glad that you invited me around. I wouldn't ever pass up an opportunity to show the world that I'm yours."
“I think that’s one of the sappiest things you’ve said yet. Especially for one that said he wasn’t sappy,” he teases, grinning after a chuckle. His hand drifts down to rest on Lucifer’s shoulder. “I wouldn’t mind hearing more of that kind.”
He shakes his head. “Even if you couldn’t come, I still would’ve invited you for the rest. You like your showing off and I only want you here. To have a good holiday that you’ve made amazing.”
The music shifts and his attention goes to adjusting before coming back around. “And there I go being just as sappy,” he jokes.
He laughs, low and quiet, as they move together, eyes slipping shut as he basks in the soft affection. "What a pair we make, hm?"
If anyone had ever told him that thing would turn out like this he would have laughed at the idea, but the time he's spent with Mattheiu, all he's learned and all they've been through...now he could never think of life without the man. Still sappy, he knows, but he could care less. "What a wonderful pair. Saps, the both of us."
“Well I’m glad you’re finally admitting that you are as well,” he teases with a soft laugh. The reaper was going to joke as much as he can over that since it’s the first time he’s properly heard Lucifer be open about it rather than teasingly deny it.
His arms move to rest around Lucifer’s shoulders as they lazily sway. There’s not much effort or rather thought put into it when he’s more focused on being affectionate. “One of the most stylish and talked about pairs too I’m sure.”
"Only for you, and I'll never let anyone else ever hear me say that," he teases, "that's a benefit only for you."
If it's sappy again, he' doesn't care. They're moving together, the rest of the gala might as well not exist, and that's exactly the way that he'd prefer it to be. Mattheiu's compliment, of course, does draw a cheeky grin from him and he nuzzles into his reaper's temple before gently pressing a kiss there. "We're all the talk of the town, darling, because everyone's jealous that I get to spend time with you."
“Hm pretty sure everyone on this floor heard it. What a scandal. The devil is capable of more emotion than just debauchery and sin. You’re simply done for.”
There’s no doubt now that they could possibly outdo a hallmark movie with how overly sweet they were. However still the cautious one he keeps an eye on any that stray too close but as soon as they pull away under his gaze full attention is back upon the man in his arms. Especially at the gentle kiss that encourages him to tug Lucifer down into a proper kiss, soft and gentle.
“Pretty sure it’s the other way around. I’m not the one with all of the titles and fuss,” he teases.
