[ send ↺ for bel to temporarily forget you. ]They stop, too, but they don’t smile at him, instead squinting suspiciously. “....Hello....”They aren’t sure why this person knows who they are or if they’ve ever even seen him before. Needless to say, this is a slightly unnerving experience for them.

[ bel’s phone has been off for three days. what messages do they come back to? ]When they turn their phone back on, it immediately begins to vibrate with missed messages. Bel always feels a pang of guilt at missed messages from their Easton, but in this case they read the messages and a fond smile spreads across their face. bel: i’ll be home very soon. i love you.

She sinks into him, though the tension does not drain from her shoulders-- not yet, anyway. Her forehead ends up pressed into Easton’s neck almost without her even realizing she’s done it. She’s quiet for a long time, even after he speaks, just drawing in forcibly measured breaths. In, out. ‘You’re not a monster.’ In, out. ‘Not a monster.’ In, out. In, out. It’s like a silent mantra in her mind; words she desperately needed to hear repeated back to her in the silence. Eventually her breaths even out for real instead of her having to force it. She wraps her arms around Easton’s waist, her shoulders finally slumping as she lifts her head. “I love you,” she murmurs, showing the faintest hint of an exhausted smile. Then her hands come up to gently cup either side of his face as presses a kiss to his cheek. “I’m serious. I fucking adore you.”

Her hands pressed over his, the demon taking in soft, wheezing breaths. She was fucked and she knew it, they both did. But Gods, the look on Easton’s face.. the sound of his voice.. Fuck. “N-Not--” She was shaking so badly, it was so difficult to form words. She swallowed thickly, brows furrowing against the sensation of her body trying to shut itself down. “Not your fault.” She hadn’t even thought before moving in front of him.“Not your fault,” she repeated again in a breathless whisper, squeezing his hand. “E-Easton... I..”

She’d ended up on her knees, arms wrapped miserably around herself as if to squeeze herself out of existence. It wouldn’t be accurate to say it’d hit her out of nowhere, though it certainly might appear that way to someone else. One moment she’d looked fine, if a little more nervous than usual. The next she’d curled in on herself in her backyard, sobbing quietly next to her garden.When she heard footsteps approaching, smelled a familiar scent, she bowed her head further, wiping at her face like she even had the slightest chance of being able to hide the fact that she’d been crying.

The serpent had hidden herself in the bushes in her backyard while she contemplated whether she should ask for assistance. She'd peeked out when Easton came around. The last thing she wanted was to make him think she'd disappeared again. "I-- Well." Oh gods, was that her voice now? Did she really sound like that?! "Advice time: Don't ever get into a fight with a magic user. Don't do it." She seemed reluctant to come out from her little hiding spot, even with her bare feet going numb on the cold ground.
