Soft launching apostle before I go to bed ts week has nonstop been a lot waugh
As a general note I'll start and say the puppet body being pale has nothing to do with apostle! He is a black man/black coded puppet ty very much it's just the chosen doll parts to make a shell around him
And while lining scribe I changed his mask to white so ignore the grey mask ty
ANYWAY ONTO THE FUN PARTS

Little spoon: I think this is a sense of vulnerability for him, and part of him accepting intimacy, he's a bit easier to move to the soft stuff that's unspoken then throes of passion. For him it's an opening/invitation to let his walls down, because His back is being guarded figuratively and literally while he sleeps by Luci rest with the devil are the few times he feels...safe.
It's an invitation to break down silently and be surrounded by warmth while you do and knowing you don't have to rebuild yourself till the morning comes, but for tonight you're no one and nothing but mine. And that's all you need to be in these isolated moments of tranquility.
It's a promise to him that when the day grows weary that invatation is still there. Never asked, never verbalized. But it is. It's routine. And stiff walks to the bed when they first started slowly becomes slumping into the others hold, a silent plea to remove the weight that has settled onto his shoulders and let him feel nothing more then contentment and love in the others arms.
The Devil ironically is his safe haven, and so he is the small spoon :3
He will never admit to this but he is 10000% stealing some of Lucis clothes. There is no borrowing. This man is slowly building a little stash
Case in point when he finds lucis jacket
Also yes he is purring :3 is this a hint towards what's under his puppet body? Perhaps perhaps who can say UnU
Jealously: Luci is His first love and he hopes last as well and as such he feels petty a smidge. Is he embarrassed about it later? Maybe. But there are times where given the chance Luci will be pulled behind a curtain and promptly bitten and kiss attacked emphasis on the bitten. Rumblings of "am I not your chosen? So why do I see your eyes chose another? Must I remind you why you chose me?"
"I am your chosen, and you are my light. Forgive me for I feel the claws of greed that wish me to be your only devoted follower. Perhaps you need to be reminded of who has built a shrine to your very existence"
Apostle is the type to pull someone by their belt into him when he's feeling possessive Lowkey
I can also see if he gets really really jealous or Luci does something to stir said jealously that the second their alone man is lifting Luci up and slamming him into a wall with his legs being shoulder level like man is lifting him UP
"must you tempt my soul to greed? To envy my deity? My light? Is my worship insufficient that you must pull my heart strings so?"
"or do you simply need to be reminded of my devotion?"
Let's just say Apostle has stronger and bigger teeth then he lets on
Don't worry he would never hurt his light <3 not in a way he won't want..
Definitely overprotective a bit because he worries about his loved ones
Though if covenant is there...he will be the one needing protecting :(( Scribe hates feeling powerless go save his brother in those moments, his hands often shaking and his claws digging into his palms so hard he bleeds when Covenant Is around
Affection through words DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN? man writes poetry about Luci, before he realized he was in love and after
Scribe will happily giggle his ass off and "accidentally" tell Luci where to find apostles stash of poems and ballads
Bonus points on if Luci accidentally stumbles on the homoerotic literature section oh buddy is gonna be blushinggggg redder then his mask ๐ณ
I love thinking perhaps they cook together quietly, apostle is an early bird but he really prefers not to be
Brew a pot of coffee just for the sake of a strong roast smell and he'll come stumbling in and just burrow into lucis neck while he wakes up, arms looped around the others waist and fiddling with his jewelry if he has it on already or fiddling with his tail.
Lowkey his security blanket mentally is grabbing Lucis tail and having it in his palm or around his wrist, he holds it gently and rubs the spade, or traces each spike and curve reverently, mornings he might twirl it a little around his fingers, and then settle with it trapped in his palm bring rubbed and massages by two fingers while his arms are around luci
Oversized sleepy kitty certified he's an early bird because of the church but once Luci comes into his life he starts oversleeping Lowkey just because the devil has made his poor brain feel safe to rest ๐
Good luck getting his ass off of you though cat on lap law do not disturb or you will be dragged back
He's not above hitting Luci with a frying pan if he has to and dragging him back to bed for daring to leave him if he is needy and was sleeping really well
Affection through words for sure
Here's some examples ๐ซข
"the keeper of my heart?...oh he is divine beyond comprehension, to worship in his presence is to be blessed by a new sense of purpose. Of warmth that scorches your heart yet warms it tenderly with its embers. I pray if this be a dream, I never wake, so I may remain molded to him as one should their own mind their own soul..
To make he and I one is my greatest desire yet the most selfish, yet when my deity graces me in rituals forsaken to public eye, I feel overcome by my own devotion, and how must display it.."
(to Luci ๐ณ) suggestive warning perhaps (?)
"do not ask of me of my needs, for a servant of their God needs for nothing than their purpose.
Must I stop my devotion? Oh you mustn't concern yourself with your servants desires. No my divine one I shall not let you.
If you are still able to fret than I have not done enough..shame I shall fix that.
Oh? You seek to stop my worship? .....why?" He lays his head on the others thigh, one bright eye staring into the others very core. "I think my deity deserves every ounce of worship this puppet body of mine can offer ..." A pause, a sultry look at where he had previously been, then back at the others flushed face. "You doubted my devotion to you. And I simply can't allow that. So I shall prove it until you don't have the strength to doubt me such again."
Good luck Luci ur not prying him off im afraid unless u genuinely want to
