"Lucky me, to be the beneficiary of this practice," he teases as he leans into Mattheiu's hand and closes his eyes. There's something that twists in his chest again as the reaper speaks, "I love you too, darling. Fiercely."

[upforanything]

"Lucky you indeed," he muses. However he's lost in the peaceful moment of having the man pressed in close and relishing the shared feelings. Quite the daft reaper to be so caught up with the devil but he can think of worst things and none that are better.

He presses a kiss to his temple. "You'll get sick of hearing me say it."

[deepestdesires]

"Oh I don't think so, I think that that's damn impossible," he murmurs, moving to nose at Mattheiu's temple as his hands drift down his back, "in fact I think I rather like it. Even better than the noises you make when you come, and that's saying something darling."

[upforanything]

He laughs warmly into his shoulder, grinning. "I hope that it doesn't regardless. Even if there's a slim chance of it. That is indeed something though, I agree. Quite a shift."

[deepestdesires]

"No chance at all, I told you," he insists, reaching up to run his fingers through Mattheiu's hair. "Oh it is something, darling, because I do think that these might be the two things that I enjoy hearing the most in the world.

[upforanything]

"Hm well can't always be a perfect one hundred percent but if you say so, I won't argue," he muses, closing his eyes and leaning his head back into the touches. "I'll keep that in mind. Always good to know what you like."

[deepestdesires]

"Hmm, I do think you're as close to perfect as I think I've seen down here, darling," he murmurs, leaning in to brush his lips across his reaper's temple, "and that's entirely the truth."

[upforanything]

"You might be saying that because I also have nothing else but your jacket," he teases softly. A proper kiss is achieved moments later with the reaper hiding a smile into Lucifer's. "Either way, I'm glad you think so."

[deepestdesires]

"That could also be part of it, yes," he teases back, humming into the kiss, "but you're gorgeous either way, darling."

[upforanything]

"You flatter me so much," he muses, shaking his head and laughing softly. The reaper runs the back of his neck as he tries to figure out what to do next after the surprising reaction to the jacket. That and well the whole love thing. "Probably could use a new drink, right?"

He isn't as good of a host as Lucifer prides himself being but he can always try.

[deepestdesires]

"Only because you deserve it, darling," he murmurs as he leans down to capture another heated kiss, "and you certainly do, I'll hear no arguments on that."

He laughs however, low and warm, as his reaper shifts, "I could use a lot of things. Having a particularly handsome reaper in my arms is one of them."

[upforanything]

"Excuse me but I'll have you know that my arguing skills are flawless. I can use them on anything and everything," he jokes, laughing against Lucifer's lips. "But you're lucky that I hate using them with you."

Matthieu nuzzles into his shoulder with a soft sigh. "Hm well consider one of those checked off the list. Now what about the others?"

[deepestdesires]

"Ah yes, you did mention others," he murmurs back, amusement low and rich in his voice as he brushes his lips to Mattheiu's temple. "I think we may need to continue down the list, don't you think? It's always best to be so thorough."

[upforanything]

"Did I? Pretty certain that I'm much more easily taken care of when compared to you," he teases, closing his eyes and smirking. His arms wind around Lucifer's waist as a pleased noise slips out. "You were the one saying that you could use many things. So I'm all ears for this supposed list."

[deepestdesires]

"Yes, but that doesn't mean that your pleasure should be grazed over." There's warmth and teasing in his voice, and there's almost a playful lilt to his words. "I think that I could perhaps use some comforting though. You know, a wonderful end to a night?"

[upforanything]

"Hm you always were the one for equal share when it comes to that," he muses, shaking his head. Cocking his head to the side, there's a soft noise as the reaper mulls the idea over. "I suppose I could be of use for that. Make the night about us rather than anything else."

[deepestdesires]

"Oh it isn't about 'being of use', you know that. It's about your enjoyment, darling." He takes advantage of the movement of Mattheiu's head to lean in and brush his lips over the line of the man's jaw. "I think having a night of 'us' is the best idea you've had all day, beyond this lovely jacket of course."

[upforanything]

"I know, I know. I prefer our enjoyment though. Much better when it's mutual," he muses. The brush of lips gets a content sigh before he turns to catch Lucifer into a deep yet brief kiss. "The jacket wasn't a single day endeavor but doesn't matter. Think what does is making sure that the idea doesn't stay just an idea."

[deepestdesires]

"My clever, clever reaper," he murmurs as the kiss ends, brushing his lips across Mattheiu's cheek, "clever and lovely and handsome and so very wonderful."

He chuckles, warm and quiet, as he trails his hands down his reaper's sides and pulls him flush against him, enjoying the warmth of Mattheiu's skin. "I'm so very lucky to have a chance to love you."

[upforanything]

There's a pulse of warmth and appreciation at being called his. It was something that he never took for granted and well it was nice to have such a partner that wants his company. "Claimed by an incredibly charming, supportive and certainly jaw dropping devil," he muses.

He winds an arm around Lucifer's shoulders, pressing in close to drink in the comfort and confidence the man radiates with. "Whose also an incredible sap," he teases. "Don't regret asking to be with you. Never will."

[deepestdesires]

"Flattery will get you everywhere, you know," he teases back, drawing close to brush his lips almost reverently across Matthieu's brow. This is his reaper- no, no that isn't right. Matthieu is his own man, free and strong and ever so wonderful, and he himself was the man's own devil.

"And you're the sap, sap."

[upforanything]

"Most places but not everywhere. Sometimes flattery can make a situation worse. With you though? Works every time," he muses. The reaper hums contently before leaning back against the sofa, winding an arm around the man's waist to draw him along. "I'm ok with being one. Not a bad thing."

[deepestdesires]

"Oh flattery will certainly get your everywhere here," he laughs under his breath, "and you're a clever reaper, you know that."

He moves with Matthieu, fluid and pliant as he's drawn with the man, but he slips an arm out to rest against the sofa to gently pin Mattheiu in place.

[upforanything]

"Because I know someone that practically purrs with the right attention," he muses. A shrug given as he settles in comfortably. "Clever or attentive. Either works."

He raises a brow at the pin but winds up smirking rather than being actually concerned over it. It was rather normal behavior of them. "Any requests for our night in?"

[deepestdesires]

"How can I help it," he teases, "if you have such loving attentions? I would be certifiably insane not to enjoy them."

He smirks at the next question, nuzzling into the crux of Mattheiu's neck with a quiet noise of amusement. "Does 'you' count as a request?"
