This. This was why Derlik loved his job. He let people loosen up and let them have a good time, no matter how their life was going. He turned once as he danced, taking in the entire club once more before focusing back on Luca. He looked so beautiful, in the blues and purples of the club lights, how his hair bounced lightly as they dance, how the light seemed to make his unique, wonderful eyes so much more mesmerizing. The god didn't try to say anything, the music would have drowned it out anyway, but he did smirk as they were pressed close together by the crowd. Derlik would keep Luca safe. Luca was safe here…
Luca was actually smiling as he danced, his body just moving to the music. He laughed a little bit, and despite the music, it was clear that the laugh sounded like angels. It was warm, and bright. It rarely happened, which made it all the more special. When they were pressed against each other in the crowd he didn't mind, he just melted his body against Derlik and moved along with him. He was much smaller then a fair few people at the club, but it was clear he was somewhat enjoying himself. Maybe it was the drugs, maybe it was the god in front of him, but either way. It was fun.
Derlik cherished the sound of Luca's laugh, arms snaking around the man as they danced so close to each other. He let the drugs continue to pull a haze over his mind, not really thinking as he danced with his newly acquired soul. The god kept dancing into the night with him, pressing a gentle kiss to Luca's knuckle. This really was fun… Derlik wanted to do it more often with Luca.
He danced happily, forgetting the situation he had just recently been in. He danced along with the god, smiling when the kiss was placed on his knuckles. Yeah… This was fun. He pulled the god close, smirking a bit and tugging the god down so their faces were merely an inch away before he laughs again and releases the god and continues to dance. This… This was good. As long as nothing serious happened he would be fine.
Derlik had expected Luca to kiss him when he was pulled close, letting out his own laugh and smirking as he was teased. He continued to dance as well, laughing loudly in the crowded club. This was his home, in the middle of a crowd, chaos seeping from every inch of the people around him. The god pulled Luca close, his turn to tease the man. He gently bumped their foreheads together, a sweet gesture, before he was right back to dancing. This would go on all night long- there was no other way to party. The last of Derlik's joint disappeared, but he just pulled two more out to replace his and Luca's.
Luca was easing up now, finally letting himself be free. He danced along with the music, just having fun for once. He wasn't worried about anyone else. He leaned into the god when his forehead was bumped, smiling again. Luca shook his head though when the next joint was offered, still high off of his. He was still on the high the recent joint offered and it was his first real time messing with drugs so he didn't want to push himself too much. His stamina however, was fairly impressive. He could dance for hours, and he would be the happiest person alive.
The god shrugged some and put the offered joint away, lighting his own. Everything was quick to hit his system, but everything was quick to leave, too. He constantly needed a joint in his lips for his time to last the night. He laughed some, his body pressing against Luca's as they danced. They'd be able to go all night long together, then, and they would. Derlik led them the entire night, in the chaos of the dance floor, until most everyone had left. Derlik let out some smoke from what had to be his fifth or sixth joint, turning to Luca no higher than he had been after the first. With the dancefloor thinning out, Derlik took Luca's hand, leading him over to the bar to sit down.
"You dance beautifully~ See how much fun it is to loosen up?"
After a few hours he was still dancing happily, still somewhat high from the hit he took earlier. It was simmering down a little bit but it was still fun. Dancing all night together was fun, and by the time that the god had pulled him over to the bar he needed the quick break. He hums at the gods words and nods a little bit, looking around the bar curiously now that he was taking a break. He liked all the bright colors, the music that vibrated every bone in him. He liked music, even if he didn't get to listen to it all the time. He knew how the play the harp his mother had at home, but other than that not much. He hums and rests his head on his hands, leaning against the god a little. He was growing slightly tired, and a bit hungry now that he thought about it.
Derlik moved to run his fingers through Luca's hair, humming to himself along with the music. He called the bartender over to get them some drinks, vodka for himself and an alcoholic milkshake for Luca. He also got them some 'stoner fries,' as Derlik referred to them. The food came first, Derlik picking up one of the fries and offering it to Luca.
"Here, eat," he said, keeping close to the other. Luca seemed to fit in more with this time than he did his own, and Derlik found it cute.
Luca leaned into the touches, revealing just how touch starved he was. Luca barely listened as the god ordered, humming softly when the fries came. He ate the fries quietly, a content expression falling over his features. He liked this time. He liked the clothes, the music, the food. Luca glanced at the god for a moment… Maybe this life wouldn't be too bad. Maybe the god wouldn't hurt him too much. He let out a relaxed sigh and tapped his fingers along with the music.
Maybe. Or maybe not, who knew with Derlik. Just before they had come there he had brutally murdered the councilwoman and stolen her soul, after all. She was still in his pocket.
The god looked up as their drinks came, offering Luca his milkshake.
"Here, there's not a lot of alcohol in it just in case you can' handle it~" The god said, tone slightly teasing. He was one to talk, downing his vodka in one shot and head falling to the counter. He'd be okay in a minute or two.
(I hate the drastic change in how Derlik acts to Luca in comparison to his own future son-)
(But also yessssss we stan supportive Derlik rn)
(Hey- It probably won't last for long, he's high and passed out drunk XD)
(Uh oh- let the angst begin)
Luca just tried to assure himself that things would… Maybe… Hopefully work out. The god had been kind to him so far… Yes. He brutally murdered the council woman, but he had been decent afterwards. He even took Luca to this fun place. When his drink came he sipped on it quietly, actually rather liking the taste. He glanced at the god, tilting his head a bit in confusion before shrugging and continuing his drink. He shut his eyes and just let himself enjoy the music. Yeah… Maybe life wouldn't be too bad.
(Hey- It probably won't last for long, he's high and passed out drunk XD)
(I was trying to keep the mood light, darn it)
(ahahaha then it's the opposite then, if Derlik does anything bad while drunk as all he did to Kye was cuddles aha)
(So much angst :DD)
Derlik lifted his head quickly from the bar counter after about two and a half minutes, letting out a triumphant sound. He looked over at Luca for a moment before moving to wrap his arms around the other. He hummed some, his head moved closer to Luca's.
"So pretty~" His voice was slurred some as the alcohol lingered in his system. The god moved to tuck his head against Luca's neck, holding him close as he ate. Things were going to get… interesting.
(Just bury it on Luca lmao)
He glanced over at the god when he sat up again, a small hum of content leaving him as he finished off the drink that Derlik had gotten him. His mind was a bit fuzzy now from taking the joint earlier, as well as having alcohol and dancing all night. He paused when the god wrapped his arms around Luca, his eyes shutting a bit as he was called pretty. He didn't mind the god clinging to him for now, he was just happy to have some sort of affection. At the moment, the council woman, that morning, him being turned into a doll… all of it slipped away into the haze of alcohol and his high and at the moment, he wasn't complaining.
Derlik hummed some as he held onto Luca, one arm around his back and the other resting in Luca's hair.
"Let's let loose," the god mumbled softly. Let's forget everything, just live in the moment and in their desires. The god pressed a kiss to Luca's jaw, moving to draw the man away from the bar once more. He pressed another kiss to Luca's knuckles, their bodies pressing together as they were left as some of the only people on the dancefloor then. Even with no one to press them together Derlik was flush with Luca's body, moving to the rhythm of the music.
He wasn't sure what to expect with the god, but that kisses were certainly unexpected. He let himself be pulled away from the bar and hummed softly as the god pressed them together once again on the dance floor. He felt slightly woozy from everything in his system, but he still moved along with the god. He knew better then to argue when the god was in such a good mood. He swayed along with the rhythm, keeping closer to the god simply because he wasn't sure if he could manage to hold himself up at the moment. When he looked up at the god, his eyes were hazy and blown over, his hair falling into his face and his lips pressed into a tiny little smile.
Derlik raised a hand, moving the hair from Luca's face before caressing his cheek.
"So, so pretty my little doll~" Derlik leaned forward as they resumed their dance, pressing a kiss to the mortal's lips. That was the look he loved so much- lost in the haze of drugs and alcohol, just able to think about the moment and nothing else. It was all Derlik wanted to see, to feel himself. He took a hit of his current joint, wanting to just drug himself up and forget everything going on. He'd need stronger stuff than weed for that, though, and he couldn't be bothered with it. So, he let himself get lost in Luca, instead, arms twined around him as they danced on that lonely dancefloor.
Luca leaned into the god's hands as they danced, startling slightly when the god kissed him. He blinked a few times, his eyes widening slightly. That had… actually been rather nice, and he had even kissed back a little. Being called doll slipped right past him, the alcohol and drugs in his system making things a bit fuzzy. Luca was actually kind of glad that the dance floor was empty, it meant less people and less noise, and if he was being completely honest he was starting to get a headache. He kept his arms wrapped around Derlik and rests his head on the god's chest, just fully relaxing into the others grip. He shut his eyes and relaxed, listening to the music happily.
Their dance slowed some, Derlik wrapped his arms around Luca in turn and holding him close. They just swayed now, Derlik tucking his head against Luca's. He was content to stay like that all night, holding Luca like that until they passed out, but the club had to close. There were barely any people when security made the rounds to escort the drunken patrons out, Derlik looking up as the owner approached him.
"It's time to leave, sir," the man said.
"Aww, can't keep it open a bit longer for your favorite god~?"
"Sir, you're the one who tells me to remind you that you still have to sleep," the man said, chuckling some. Derlik sighed but nodded, scooping Luca up in his arms and turning to leave.
Luca was ready to pass out now, he almost did, the small human feeling oh so content as he was held by the god. It was actually kind of nice to just be standing her and listening to the music. He was a sucker for the affection. Luca looked up when they were approached, humming softly. He startles back slightly when he was picked up before easing again into the gods arms and shutting his eyes. He was ready to pass out, leaning his head against Derlik's shoulder, cuddling into his neck. The god was warm, and strong, and comforting. Luca was sure nothing bad could happen. At least… not right now.
(Ah poor, sweet innocent Luca… Can't wait to crush him tbh)
(I mean, what's the point of having such a sweet innocent child if you don't thoroughly break them and put them back together slowly? :)) )
Derlik tucked Luca's head under his chin as the man nuzzled into his neck, smirking some to himself. He was already coming out of his latest high and didn't bother lighting another joint for himself. Derlik hummed softly, pressing a gentle kiss to Luca's head as the world twisted to bring them back to the tenth century and its calm. The god sat down on his boulder, laying down with Luca in his arms so similar to the night before. Luca got another kiss to Luca's head, humming some.
"Good night…"
