Faybian nodded slightly, keeping the fact that now Alexander was with Faybian, he wouldn't need to worry about expenses, to himself. Faybian slowed as well, realizing had nearly scarfed down a third if the funnel cake and nearly all of the. Chocolate sauce that come on the side. He gently nudged the plate towards Alexander and tugged the half of the pie towards himself. His gaze flicked up when Alexander mentioned Hell and gave a small smile. "You won't have to worry about that fir a long while, dear. I'll make sure if that. But for the far future, I'll make sure all your favorite baked goods and pastries on the "to learn how to cook" list." He reassured with a smile, already thinking if all the way he could make Hell a heaven for Alexander.
(Foreshadowing song? :3
Devil doesn't bargain - Alec benjamin)
(I. LOVE. ALEC. BENJAMIN! Fun fact: Named Alex after Alec benjamin, I think I put in his nickname that it was Alec…..Wait….nooooooooo….I'm scared now!!!)
"Yes! Wait, you have a list?" He started to eat the rest of the funnel cake. "I'm curious to hear this list." He mumbled using his coffee and swallowed the cake. He didn't put that much in his mouth; he just needed some water to wash all of it down in general. "I gotta say, I have such great taste in places. I knew this place would be good because of the ratings and the mount of people who've been here. So if you use probability, then-" He cut himself off because, for once, he didn't care. "Who cares? This place is just amazing." It felt good not to find scientific reasoning behind everything. Even when he and Faybian started dating, he would look up the science behind love to see if it happened to him. Of course, he never told Faybian that. After continuous research, he concluded that he really was in love with Faybian, and this wasn't some fluke.
(SAME boy in a bubble, outrunning karma, let me down slowly all of them, gimme! Awe that's cool I hadn't realized! And yeeess :3 but that's for later.)
"yes, short for now but I'm sure it'll grow all in due time as you discover more dishes you like." Faybian laughed softly, nodding in agreement. "Considering you only just started going out to eat more often, yes, you do have good taste. I'm glad you've done your research dear, I promise we'll come back here." For the past few weeks, faybian had sat beside Alexander, watching as he either researched for his final assignments or researched fun places for them to go, more watching how he used the computer than actually paying attention to what was being searched.
(Yes, just yes to all of those songs!!!!)
Alexander gave a little smile from the praise. He finished off the rest of the funnel cake and leaned back in the chair. He sipped his coffee fulfilled with the pastries he devoured. "I'm glad you agree. Whenever you're ready, I can pay the bill. Then we can do a little window shopping, go to the park, and eat dinner. However, I prefer a homemade dinner tonight. If that's okay with you." He finished up the last of his delicious latte. (Definitely not drinking a mocha latte right now…). He cracked his knuckles to relieve himself. He then leans his cheek on the palm of his hand. He looked at Faybian, a little smile sneaking up on his lips. It was a silly smile that made him look down to the table and then back to Faybian.
(I would kill for a good mocha rn XD)
Faybian glanced up, about to protest that he would be paying for this, since Alexander had brought him out but then he huffed a small sigh. "I suppose I don't need to pay if I'm making dinner later." He reasoned, finishing off his last bite of pie and settling back in his chair, espresso mug cupped in his hands. "Anything you have in mind you want to eat for dinner or will you decide later?" He asked, tilting his head curiously as he watched Alexander, a slow smile growing on his face. "Careful doll, else I might get the impression that you'll want to eat me for dinner." He teased, glancing up when the waitress came over with a the check.
(Mocha so early in the morning? Honestly sounds good :P)
"I wouldn't let you pay even if you were rich. As for dinner, I'll think about it later; my brain cannot think about that right now." He took the check with a smile but stiffed when he heard Faybian's little comment. He whipped his head over, and his face a bright red. "You, you, you are so. Ugh!" Faybian knew how to get under his skin and make him a melting mess. He huffed, "Whoever I said I didn't want you for dinner?" He retorted. " I was just thinking about you….and me….and us. Not in a bad way! In a good way, I promise. I was just thinking…" He took out the pen doing quick math in his head for the tip[ before setting his card on top of the reseat. "I was thinking about how you're perfect. Of course, everyone has flaws, and maybe the whole killing thing is something to work on, but you're perfect for me."
(one day later, still need that mocha😂)
Faybian grinned, a soft chuckle rising from his chest when he saw just how red Alexander had turned. He spread his arms and arched a challenging eyebrow. "I'm all yours, dear." He muttered softly before standing and scooping Akecander into his lap and sitting in his spot to wait for his card. "Hm? Having second thoughts are we?" He teased playfully, lightly brushing aside Alexander's hair and pressing a soft kiss to his jaw. "Now I know times have changed but I'd say committing murder us still considered more than a flaw in most people, dear." He breathed a small laugh, pressing a soft kiss to Alexander's cheek and resting his head on his shoulder. He laughed because it was rediculous. He wasn't perfect. No where near perfect. He had spend lifetimes in Hell, he had refused heaven twice to get revenge on the people that had hurt him. And what did he do after? He had build a name for himself among the lord's of hell all for the fun if it because he was bored. He had to admit he didn't think himself as bad as the other lord, but he was certainly no angel, despite his wings. So what made him seem like the perfect person Alexander?
(fr tho I've really been tired lately and for no reason XD)
Alexander wrapped his arms around Faybain and stroked his hair. He wasn't sure if it was okay to be sitting like this in public, but it made him happy, and frankly, that's all he needed. "Trust me; I don't think second thoughts are in the cards for me. "We've kissed, shared a home, slept together; not like that, but you know what I mean, and we shared so many good moments along with two or three minor disagreements. I wouldn't call them fights." Alexander kissed Faybian's temple before going back to stroking his hair. "I don't think anybody in this world is perfect, but there is a difference between perfect and perfect for me. You may not have all the qualities the person sitting in the other booth has, but you check all my boxes. The whole demon thing wasn't one of my boxes, but I guess it's one of my boxes now." He joked. He only spoke loud enough for Faybian to hear and only him. "Before you say it, no, I still don't think you're a demon. I think that Satan is like your dad. I don't think there is any way you can convince me that hell is a thing, Bubba."
(Bee, this post says 10 hours ago, idk if we live in different time zones but 10 hours ago was 12 midnight for me, get some sleep no wonder you're tired! 😂)
Faybian stiffened slightly before letting out an involuntary grumble of content, his eyes closing as he relaxed into Alexander's hand. "Minor disagreements is an understatement, dear but I suppose you have a good point." He said, voice muffled against Alexander's shirt. He glanced up, slightly hazy from all the petting Alexander was giving him. He hummed at the kiss, nudging his head with Akexander's before sighing softly. "You're right, I doubt many in today's age cam say they're a lord of one of hell's rings." He teasd lightly though he knew what Alexander was saying. Alexander felt right to faybian. They're affection towards each other didn't feel forced in any way and Faynian didn't feel as he had to pretend to like Alexander, it felt real. Faybian glanced up at Alexander and laughed "darling you are adorable." Faybian shook his head "and here I thought you were excited for all the dishes I have planned to make for you in hell. So you're choosing to believe I went to hell and talked with Luce and that your soul will be mine whenever you die but not that there's a hell or that I'm a demon?" Faybian shook his head in disbelief "and they say we're complex creatures." Faybian nuzzled Alexander's neck, huffing a little laugh. "My father isn't Satan, and I wouldn't be saying his name so liberally, my dear. But I digress, my father was Jameson Elizabeth. I wasn't born a demon nor was a I born in hell." He explained softly, trailing his hand along Alexander's spine. "He raised me alone but that never affected the way he treated me. He was one of the only people who treated me with genuine kindness whereas most other people faked it." He shrugged and nodded his head up. "I was glad to see he had nade it to heaven."
(Yeah, we're definitely in the same time zone. I just feel bad when I don't answer someone within 24 hours, so I usually stay up late to answer them all XD)
Alexander kissed the top of his head. "I wish I could've met him. He seemed like a great guy." The waited came back with their card and placed it silently on the table. She didn't want to disturb the peace the two had created. "As much as I would love to stay here and talk about your family all day, I think it's time we get on with the rest of our date. However, you are cute when you're all snuggly like this." Alexander pushed himself off Faybian, grabbing his card on the way up. He stretched and tilted his head side to side to get his neck to crack. "I am not adorable, by the way." He took out his wallet and put the card back in. He then fixed his bag, so it lined up perfectly. "Come on, Cinnamon Roll. Let's do some window shopping." He held out his hand for Faybian to take.
(honestly same, also sorry if I don't answer for a stretch of time this week, I'm working on summer class finals this week. Should be back to nirmal by next Monday!)
"I have a feeling he would have loved you." He smiled softly and reluctantly let Alexander go, stretching in his chair before gathering his jacket and standing, gladly taking Alexander's outstretched hand. "No but it's the closest thing in the English language that could possibly describe how cute you are, querido." He followed Alexander outside, "is there something you're interested in finding?" He asked curiously
(Yeah, no worries. In August, for two separate weeks in August, I'll be on vacation and then stuff for school, so I won't be able to respond for like two different weeks, so worries :P)
Alexander looked up to Faybian, processing the question. "What? Oh no. I only need an outfit when I'm out with you, but I guess I should start dressing better for school. But in short, no, I'm not looking for anything specific. I always ordered my clothes online, so going actual shopping is new for me too." He leaned his head onto Faybian's shoulders as they walked. We should go to a tech store! I need a new PC anyway. Considering the state of my other one, it's outdated. Yes, it still looks new, but I've had it since sixth grade. So it's a much older model than I'm used to at the university. Then again, I could always do that online as well." He sighed and leaned his head onto Faybian's shoulder. "Is there anything you want?"
(thank you, and yeah same no worries at all! Thanks for the heads up!)
Faybian nodded, a slight smile on his lips. "You look good, no matter what you wear. But I must admit it's nice seeing you in something other than a shirt and shorts for three days straight." Faybian pressed a kiss to the top of Alexander's head and let go of their hand so he could wrap his arm around his shoulder. "We can go if you'd like but can I make request that you still keep the old computer? If you're not going to use it I'd like to learn to use it, even if it's outdated." He asked a but sheepishly, shaking his head. "Mm, no, i'm alright. Maybe we could drop by the store for some food for this week's dinner but other than that, no."
(Yeah, np!)
He fake gasped. "I wear sweatpants too…" He trailed off quietly. He leaned into Faybian and intertwined their fingers with the hand around his shoulder. "Of course, you can use the new one if you'd like. If you want me to teach you, I could always give you a lesson to two. All you have to do is ask, and it's all yours unless I have something I need to finish. Oh! Speaking of which. You know science. Would you mind reading over my thesis? It's the last thing I have to turn in. It's more about chemistry and physics than it is about biology. I wanted to do it on biology, but there were already so many studies on it that there was no use. I'd just be repeating things. My professor also said it was wise to stay off that topic. I didn't mind. I just want to ensure that my stuff is correct and makes sense. So…can you?" Alexander was looking for a best buy or somewhere that looked like they sell tech.
Faybian gave a soft scoff and leaned in close. "Hardly, for the time I've been here I've only ever seen you in shorts. Sweatpants are a rarity and I'm starting to think you're doing that on purpose." He pressed a kiss to Alexander's head with a knowing smile. "I'm not as adept in technology as i'd like to be. I wouldn't want to ruin your new computer somehow. The old one I'm sure it'll will work fine. I'll gladly take lessons from you, dear." Faybian tilted his head curiously, if not a bit confused "Dear, why all the doubt? I've read your other papers before and they're great. I'm sure this one is no different." Faybuan reassured, rolling his eyes. "If Its something you're interested in, I don't think just because other's have written about it should prevent you from writing about it. Besides you might discover something new. Or at least you'd be adding your own unique perspective to what's already been discovered." He reasoned, releasing a soft sigh. "Of course I'll read it, and I'll point out every single thing you did perfectly." He he gave a proud little smile and kissed Alexander's hair.
"I just want it to be perfect. I like Chemistry a lot, but I like biology more. Either one I can do. I want to make sure it's perfect." Alexander rolled his eyes. "Not everything I do is perfection. If it were, I wouldn't have met you." He finally found a store to go into that seemed like they had the stuff he needed. He opened the door for Faybian first before entering after him. "No harm in peer editing." Alexander looked around the store for PC monitors first. He passed all of the apple ones considering he wasn't going to get something he could use. "You do know that even if you do break, I can just buy a new one or pay someone to fix it. It's not that money, but if you insist, I'll keep the old one around. Feel free to use mine if you want as well."
(they become couple streamers)
"Alexander, I don't think you're perfect. Frankly I don't think any human is. I've seen your work. So has your teachers. If they're not stupid or blind, then I have no doubt that they know how smart you are, how thorough and incredible your research is, even if not all of it ends in the result you want." Faybian walked inside the store, eyes widening in surprise at the store. He glanced back momentarily at Alexander and gave a reluctant nod. "No, I suppose it's not so bad." He muttered a bit distractedly as he wandered off while Alexander looked at the PCs. He had wandered into the headphones section of the store and started scanning around, intrigued. That is until he got to the more novelty headsets. He paused when he saw headphones with little cat ears on the top. He tilted his head and put them on, blinking in surprise when he heard music.
(GASP YES! Omg, they would be so cute!!!!! I always wanted to do that with someone!!!!!)
"Th-Thank you, Faybian." He smiled shyly and waddled over the PC monitors he liked the most. "Hey, what do you think about-" He looked over to Faybian and watched him put on the headphones. He covered his mouth a heat rose to his cheeks. He looks adorable… He took out his phone and pictures of Faybian's reactions to the headphones. He walked over to Faybian and tugged his collar down so their eyes would meet. "Are you sure you're not a marshmallow? I have to say you are looking very adorable right now." He teased. "If you want, then I can get them for you. No, you will not make money out of thin air. Don't think I don't remember."
(Yes!!!)
Faybian, embarrassingly, let out a strangled yelp of surprise when he was pulled in by Alexander. "I-I was just looking, was I not-" Faybian huffed a sigh, averting his eyes. "I'm not a marshmallow." He muttered with a small pout. He pulled off the headphones and set them on Alexander's head. "You're adorable too." He grinned and pressed a kiss to Alexander's brow. He watched Alexander for a few moments, contemplating whether he should let Connor pay for the headphones or indeed just make money appear. "Fine, but I'm paying for our next lunch or dinner or whatever." He put the test headphones back and grabbing a box and then Alexander'a hand. "Did you find a computer you liked?" He asked, looking through the isles, recognizing a few things but most were very new to him.
"You'll pay for my food when you make real money. I mean, get a credit, and a debit card, start a business or join one. I won't let you be illegal. However, I make a shit ton of money, so I can pay for anything you need." He held the headphones under his arm. "You're the one who wants them, so that makes you adorable." He took Faybian's hand and walked him over to the monitors that had curved inward slightly. "Was thinking of getting two of these. I like to monitor it's untimely better than having one. As for computers, I would like to have this one. I mean, it's more for gaming, but it's very colorful, and I like the fact I can see through the glass. It looks cool. It works fast as well. The GPU is amazing. Even though I don't need a GPU, it's still good. It comes with three sticks of ram, which is already more than I'll ever need, and…you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?"
“I’ll have you know i make this money myself. Despite hell's less than ethical work system, I didn't become a demon lord just because Luce ." Faybian said as he followed Alexander through the isles until they were back at the computers. When they stopped at the monitors and what Faybian assumed were the PCs, he wrapped his arms around Alexander and rested his head on his shoulder, only realizing later that he was now A literal shoulder devil. Even if he couldn't understand anything about what Alexander was saying, he could always appreciate the excited way Alexander spoke about the things he loved. Not only the computers now, but his studies, science, his new favorite places, all and more Faybian would do just about anything to hear Alexander talk for hours in end about. He gave an apologetic smile and pressed a kiss to Alexander's cheek. "No, I don'tdear, I'm sorry. But I'm sure I'll know all about this and more when I start dabbling in," he waved a hand around the store. "All of this. Or at least most of this." He chuckled lightly and nodded to the computer. "So I assume you're going to get it?"
Alexander shook his head. "I understand you're all still new at this. At least you didn't shut me up as other people do." He sucked in a breath. Did I say how I felt about something holy- Alexander returned the kiss to his cheek. He tilted his head back to his mouth would line up with Faybians ears. "I'm having it shipped to my apartment, so what do you say we go outside and enjoy that picnic I recommended earlier? Feel free to look around while I pay," He whispered and pecked Jas's ear. He slipped away from his embrace to talk to one of the workers about getting the computer. He made the final payment for the computer, headphones, and all the parts needed for his computer. "Okay…we have to be home by seven so no one steals the things I just bought. That would be money waisted and very unfortunate for me. Ready?"
Faybian brows creased "people do that to you?" He shook his head and squeezed Alexander close, nuzzling his face into his shoulder with a defensive growl. "I swear, everyday I feel a little more justifyed in turning down heaven twice the more I hear about humans." He muttered, tilting his head slightly in surprise at feeling Alexander's lips brush his now reddening ears. He bit his lip to keep from biting something else and gave a slight, compliant nod before letting Alexander go. H3 sighed softly as he watched his human go, shaking his head in disbelief as he meandered off to the movie isle, having seen it beforehand. He was sure Alexander had most of the movies someway or another on his fancy devices but Faybian felt oddly nostalgic seeing the titles in their CD boxes. While he was more of a book person, he did have a few favorite movies he'd watch from time to time. He glanced up after a few moments of searching through the selection and nodded, gentoy taking Alexander's free hand. "How are we to do this picnic of yours, dear?" He asked curiously.
"Yes, people do that all the time. Not just to me. They don't try to find the owner if you leave something behind. They take it because it's something they don't have. They get to have it for free. That's why when you order stuff now with trackers on the packages or a key that they give you that only allows you to open it. However, even then, people still find a way around it. People take "finders keepers" to a new level, you know?" He thought for a moment. "Wait…you turned down heaven? So you aren't a bad person! Ha!" He kissed his cheek. "I knew it." He chuckled. "Well, I brought a blanket with us. It might be in a small case, but it's pretty big. There is this park in the middle of the city I found out about. It's not too far from here so we could go there and rest a bit. Then get dinner and go home."
