"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.
