Curate, connect, and discover
cheek kiss. ( mei mei for getito )
“unprompted sweetness won’t garner any favors, will it? i thought we’d agreed not to overdo with it as to not build debt on either side.” he speaks idly, head leant into the petal-soft kiss and when the lips part, he almost misses it.
experience tells him something must be given in exchange, a trade between devil and sin-abiding witch. it doesn’t quite feel like it this time, so he watches carefully as her posture regains the usual siren-like leisure. suguru revels in the embers left behind, right above his cheek, where their skin touched. sweet, addicting, as any poison should be.
and then he laughs. unbridled, like he hasn’t done in a long while.
perhaps it’s the familiar perfume, the drunken haze of fine liquor, but he can’t entirely blame the sake in his cup when there’s barely more than one and a half in his system. it can only be mirth, genuine bliss at her company. he’s growing sentimental. “well, not that it will stop you.”
taking as much as she wanted, giving little back in return. that is the way things are, that’s the way they’d been since the first time words were exchanged between them. and a little more than that, too, but he doesn’t dwell on memories past midnight. suguru lowers his cup with a tud.
“any other sorcerer would’ve stated their business since entering the room. while i do enjoy the company, i’d rather not assume that my executioner has been changed on such short notice. you probably won’t believe it, but i don’t enjoy spilling blood from my old comrades. i try not to, if i can help it.”
