I'll Keep Coming

Tybalt considered himself comfortable around his partner, so furiously blushing at the drop of the hat wasn't quite expected. He wasn't embarrassed over a little kiss, was he? He would've excused himself briefly to go and calm down in the washroom or something, had Angelo not practically pulled him into his lap.

The kiss wasn't expected, and Tybalt tensed briefly before he practically went limp against Angelo's shoulder. Okay, this wasn't too bad, either. He leaned up against him, returning the kiss even if he was a bit timid about it.

A hand made its way to Angelo's shoulder, pulling him just a little closer. He found he liked being close; Tybalt, after all, did have some emotions left in there.

It was nice being close. Nice having Tybalt more or less in his lap, warm and comforting. Soft wasn't a word that was often used for people like Tybalt, but Angelo thought it was appropriate.

Angelo let the kiss last a moment before pulling back slightly, giving Tybalt a smile.

"If you aren't comfortable, we can stop. I'm fine with doing things are your pace, whatever that may be," Angelo said. He was pretty sure that his pace was a hell of a lot higher than the pace of an honest to god angel, and the last thing he wanted was Tybalt feeling pressured. "Just give me a heads up, alright? I don't know, uh - well, what you've done before."

Not exactly the smoothest way of saying you might be a virgin so I want to make sure I don't push too hard.

Soft wasn't exactly something he'd call himself either, but he certainly was feeling very... vulnerable at the moment. It wasn't usually pleasant whatsoever, but practically sitting in Angelo's lap he figured he could tolerate it. He could only imagine this was a step in the right direction; it wasn't as if, when he fell from heaven, he was given a manual on the way down with step by step directions on how to ascend again.

Step five: learn to love someone other than oneself. Just maybe. It certainly seemed befitting for him. He'd grown so tired of humans in heaven that, if suggested then, he would've scoffed.

Tybalt was by zero means a blushing virgin, but he was certainly out of practice. The true meaning behind Angelo's words kind of flew straight over his head, and he paused for a moment or two to stare before shrugging.

"I guess this is alright." Without hesitation. Dare he say, he liked being close to Angelo. He felt relieved when he got to his shift on time and got back from a patrol in one piece. Whatever was going through that shaggy blond head of his, he was sure it'd be fine. Right?

"I don't really want you to be alright," Angelo confessed. "I want you to be... I don't know, interested in it. I want a yes, not a I don't mind."

One of his biggest struggles with the whole thing was absolutely that he couldn't be sure how Tybalt felt. Even at the best of times Tybalt seemed hesitant, and there was no telling how much of that was what he felt, and how much of that was just the way he was.

"I mean... I don't know. I'm not exactly up to date on this sort of thing. I don't know if angels really frown on relationships with humans, and this is going against your nature or something. I'm just flying by the seat of my pants here," Angelo confessed, letting out a little sigh. "I just need a bit of guidance, alright?"

Any sort of guidance. He just needed something.

If anybody had mentioned him falling for a human when he was still in heaven, or even shortly after he descended, he would have laughed. How could he ever? Quite some years on earth had admittedly softened him more than he thought, and he wrapped his arms around Angelo's neck without so much of a second glance.

"It's not exactly taboo, though... I guess in the past I didn't exactly encourage it." He thought of each time he'd fallen for a human a setback. When they died, it was another stumble in his way back to heaven. He'd grown a little better about it, though he admittedly had a few hangups still.

Tybalt ran a hand through Angelo's hair, catching in a couple of tiny tangles along the way. He'd never tame that thing, he was sure.

"Yes. Yes, I want to be close to you."

Angelo felt like he should be purring as Tybalt ran his fingers through his hair, and without thinking about it he let his eyes drift closed, leaning against Tybalt a bit more. Comfortable, he decided. The entire situation was comfortable.

Tybalt was comfortable, even if he came with a closet full of hangups.

"Well, as long as it's not discouraged now," Angelo said simply.

He wasn't going to press any further that day. He was perfectly comfortable just cuddling with Tybalt, even as chaste as it was.
