Seth nods and sighs quietly. He had… Attachment issues so to speak. He didn't want to be left alone, but he allowed himself to be put down. "Okay…" He says softly, settling into a chair. "I'll behave I promise."

Grayson glanced down at him, slightly concerned. "Are you sure you'll be okay? If it's really a problem, I'll make sure and look after you, okay?" He said, resting his hand on the table.

Seth fidgets a little. "I just prefer being close to people I trust. It's totally fine it you need to leave me here. I can relax for a little." He looks up at the other male, appearing rather shy at the thought of Grayson making sure he was okay. Not a lot of people did that.

“You don’t have to stay here if you don’t want to. This place is actually pretty interesting, I think you’d like it.” He suggested, ruffling Seth’s hair gently.

Seth nods a little, leaning into the gentle ruffle of his hair. He looked at Grayson. "Can I stay with you? Just for a little while?" He pleads softly. "I can hide in your hoodie…"

“You can go in my shirt pocket.” Grayson laughed softly, picking up Seth and gently setting him down in his pocket. “Or hide in my collar or something. Just make sure no one sees you. I have no idea how I would explain that.” He smiled, beginning to walk towards the door that led them to the main museum.

Seth eagerly climbed into his pockets releasing happy little purrs. He chuckled quietly. "Oh don't worry. The only time I'm seen is if I want to be seen." He cuddles into the soft fabric and gave a satisfied noise, glad that Grayson gave off warmth. He was very comfy not to.mention.

Grayson laughed and walked into the lobby, walking around and helping some people find places and chatting happily with other employees. He seemed a lot more cheerful than he normally was, Seth's presence usually did that to him. About an hour later, he headed back to the break room to grab something. He passed a couple people leaving and then they were alone once more. "How are you doing?" He asked Seth, glancing down at him.

Seth was glad to see Grayson happy, dozing off slowly as Grayson worked. When Grayson check in on him he woke up slowly. He giggles quietly. "Mmm… I'm good. You're warm." He mutters as he snuggles into his chest. "How was work?"

"I'm still at work. We can get food after I give this tour, it won't take longer than an hour maybe." He told Seth, patting his pocket gently. He smiled down at the small demon, wishing he was bigger so that he could be close to Seth. Stop. Focus. Don't be weird. He thought, sighing softly.

Seth nuzzled into his chest, sighing happily. Grayson was so warm… He didn't want to fall asleep again but gosh he was so comfy. He nods slowly. "An hour works…" He mumbled. He wanted to be bigger so he could stand beside Grayson, but he knew the other had work.

Grayson nodded with a smile and went off to give the tour.
He left the museum after he was finished, patting his pocket in case Seth was asleep. He gently picked him up and leaned against the wall, sighing softly.

Seth slept most of the tour, his small hand clenching to Graysons shirt.
He woke up slowly, humming as he's picked up, fitting perfectly in Graysons palm. He giggles quietly. "Hi…" He mumbled as he sits up and stretches.

"Hi there." Grayson grinned, nudging Seth back onto his side with his thumb. He giggled and tilted his head slightly. "Are you gonna get big again? Or will I have to carry you around still?"

Seth holds onto Grayson's thumb, yawning softly as he does so. "Mmm… Yeah. I can get big again if you want me to." He rubs at his eyes and they flutter open slowly. He giggles softly as he looks up at the other, before standing and sighing happily. "Alright. Go ahead and put me down."

Grayson smiles fondly down at the small demon, crouching down and setting him on the ground carefully. "Have a nice nap?" He asked, fingering the lanyard around his neck.

"Mm… Delightful." He replies, growing larger again and smiling down at the other. "It was absolutely blissful. I can see why humans enjoy sleeping in the company of a loved one…" He mumbles sleepily to himself.

Grayson was still sitting on the ground, staring up at Seth with a shocked look on his face. Loved one? LOVED ONE?? He seemed to forget how to move and speak for a minute, just glued to the ground in silence. How can he just say that so casually?? He probably didn't even mean anything by it. Stop acting like an idiot..

Seth hummed and stretched before looking down at the other, instantly becoming confused. "Is that not what you call someone you admire and like romantically?" He asks as he tilts his head. "Odd. I was sure it was."

(wow 13 pages of slow burn and then BAM)

Grayson thought his heart was going to beat right through his chest. What the heck is going on. This has to be a dream. There is no way he just said that. What the hell am I supposed to say??!
"W-wha..what are y-you..talking about?" He stammered, feeling his hand shaking against the ground and attempting to steady it. It was no use.

(Yep lol)

Seth glanced at the other before tilting his head. "Exactly what I said…?" He replies, his eyebrow raising. "You call someone your loved one if you admire them and like them romantically…" He shrugs a little. "Why are you freaking out? You're worrying me. Should I call someone?" he asks, feeling Grayson's forehead.

Grayson flinched away from his hand, looking down at the ground. "You-you can't just lie. You can't just..say things like 'loved one'. I..I mean..you were asleep in my pocket. That doesn't make sense. You must mean someone else..not me.." He fell silent, basically muttering to himself by the end of the string of words. "I don't get it.." He added quietly.

Seth's eyes widen before they slowly soften. "Grayson?" He asks gently, kneeling in front of the other, "Why on Earth would I lie to you?" He asks gently. "And there is no one else… Grayson, you're the only person who has dealt with me and not thrown me out, cast me to the side, and you're by far the most breathtaking person I've met…" He whispers. "I am your guardian devil. I'm not allowed to lie to you." He mutters gently.

Grayson looked up at him, feeling small, pathetic. I don't deserve him.. He thought. "You could've chosen someone so much better than me." He said, voice barely above a whisper. "I don't get it..why haven't you left yet? Or..or hurt me? Are you still here out of pity?"

Seth tilted his head. "Why would I want someone better? I want you." He mutters gently, kneeling before him. "My choice is to protect you. And only you. I dedicate myself as a demon to you. I, Prince Seth, son of Satan himself, will protect you, help you, and… if you would allow me- to love you. I chose to stay with you because I want to." He says gently, before looking up at Grayson.
