7. Your muse’s oversized shirt

The incubus glanced up, one pointed ear flicking idly as a happy smile spread across his face. He laughed, quietly, tugging the collar over his nose, golden eyes closing at the familiar smell, and it was more than enough to make the demon relax, a content purr sounding from the back of his throat as he proceeded to curl up on the bed and shift just a little closer to Ezekiel.

He generally didn’t enjoy wearing clothes. They were often too uncomfortable, too restricting, confining, but this was...

...perfect. Big, nice, comfortable, soft, and, most importantly--

My muse has recently been in an accident that has left them blind. Send me ♖ for what they would say to yours when our muses meet next.

The incubus’ ear flicked, unseeing eyes reflexively darting in the direction of the familiar smell and of footsteps approaching and shame and fear and panic and humiliation and nervousness flooded him all at once, the thought of what Zeke would say, what he’d do, how he’d react when he realized that Cieo no longer could–

Heart beating hard and fast in his chest where he was seated on the bed, breath catching in his throat, the demon lowered his head and pulled the blanket further over himself to hide his face. He was only delaying the inevitable, though, he knew that, but he still couldn’t stop his body from tensing when the prince sat down beside him.

“Zeke–” His grip on the blanket tightened and he swallowed, thickly. “Can’t– I…no longer, I can’t–!”

Zeke, Zeke, Zeke…

“Where the hell...?” Did that question come from? “I mean, I care about you and I worry about you. I haven’t experienced love myself but I remember when me and Minato were one it was kind of a fuzzy warm feeling....and I guess that’s how I feel around you.” The Shadow put his hand over his heart, as if to try and cam it’s erratic beating. “I’ve never....I can’t say....” 

The demon turned his head to glance over his shoulder, an ear flicking in silent curiosity and confusion at the sight of the expression on her face. Was something wrong?
