[ there is nothing more important to Rook than being able to look at Jiho, see the way his face shifts so minutely as he speaks. no carnal pleasure could compete with the way Jiho looks up at him, open and vulnerable, showing Rook all the things that he usually tried so hard to hide away. that-- that was fucking amazing to him.

and the more jiho speaks, the wider his smile becomes, until it feels like it might split him in two, letting the adoration and love he feels to pour out of him. the demon presses down, kisses Jiho messy and uncoordinated in his devotion, smiling the whole time.

I'm going to love you until my last breath.

Rook will do the same, will turn the fucking universe on its head to make sure Jiho lives as long as he wants, will do whatever he can to keep him safe. like he has been. the demon moves so that he can curl his hands into pink strands, moving them softly.]

And I am never going to leave you, not willingly. [ because he can't say he won't be summoned away, won't make a promise he can't keep. but he will always come back. always.] I will still prove that I am worth it, that I am worth you because you are goddamn amazing Jiho. You are, and I know you don't always see it, don't always agree with me, but you are. And I love you every piece of you.
