Her request was a warm one, spoken with that same alluring smile to mask the somberness brought on by far too distant memories.

Moments like these are probably the closest thing a demoness can get to experiencing heaven.

Even if the world around them lies in in ruin, the only thing that matters to her now is him.

A gentle brushing of supple lips led to a passion-driven expression of profound affection and longing. -

It took a little bit for it to click, but surely enough, he got the message just in time. Cloud moved forward in order to capture the woman's lips with his own, pulling her in a bit closer to really feel the warmth he missed all this time.

He didn't want to let this moment end. Not yet.

The softness to his voice made her heart flutter in a way she didn't think possible.

She admired him in silence, palms now cupping both of his cheeks. The distance between them closed gradually, giving him enough time to know what was coming before the heat of her breath greeted his lips.

``Ah, what a pity. . . And here I thought you were about to confess your profound love for me.´´ She returned with a playful tone of her own. A hint of mischief spread across her lips in the form of a smile.

``You flatter me. Though I must say life has been painfully dull since our last visit.´´

"Ah well, it's not the same without ya around. You're more fun to bother and hound than some others, I'll admit that much."

Noting her tone, he's quick to bring that notorious ego of hers down a peg.

"Don't assume anything though. You're not as boring as the others, that's all." He teases.

``Boring, you say?´´ She'd tilt her head curiously with a hint of a smirk. The compliment had evidently swelled her ego.

Arms around her waist became hands holding onto it, staring at those fiery red eyes he was 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 familiar with. The same eyes he didn't want to go a day without seeing again.

His words warmed her heart in a way that her eternal flame never could. A smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

``Time away truly must make the heart grow fonder. I could get used to you being this sweet.´´

She teased lightheartedly. Parting from him just enough to gaze upon his visage.
