Dinner dates for Levi

[devilsphoenix]

The other angels had fussed when Phenex revealed that they would be going out for a dinner. The angel could only imagine it was because their interests rarely focused on one, or maybe it was a fondness for the king and his vessel. Sin had been the one who dragged Phenex out to shop, gleeful and happy. Phenex saw the princess more as a sister than anything else and they had grown so close. After a full day they returned with a beautiful dress.

Between Astaroth, Azazael and Sin it felt like a whirl wind of hair and make up and dressing. However, it was Lucifer coming that made it more surreal. He gave his angelic artisan a hair piece of roses and apple blossoms from his own gardens. It meant a lot to Phenex both as a gift and a confirmation that Lucifer didn't feel like they were overstepping bounds. After all, Levi was the vessel of Lucifer's partner.

By the time they were done with everything Phenex had become nervous, simply because of everyone else. Barefoot and dressed like some princess of Greece, they waited for Levi in the open council room, more to save Levi from prying eyes of other angels than anything else.

"Then I must insist you come and visit or call me to you as much as you like." The softness and shyness simply begs for flirting. "We have a shared goal then." Phenex speaks almost against his ear. "I have an Achilles ike weakness for handsome artists."

Kissing his hair just above the ear Phenex pulls back to a normal, if case, walking distance.

"Take all the time you need. I will remain for whatever time you need."

His steps slow when Phenex moves close and murmurs against his ear. Warm breath against ticklish skin is almost unbearably sensual, and he shivers when kissed. "Umnn...that...wow."

Just completely derail his train of thought, why don't you?

It takes him a second to clear the haze from his thoughts and start walking again slowly. "You know...I knew what Balthazar was up to with my body, every time, and I never minded, but no one touched me like that for a pretty long while. It's different somehow."

Phenex giggles and the angelic voice sneaks through when he gets derailed and stops. It is remarkably adorable but also sad that he has gone so long isolated. There's a pause before Phenex asks playfully.

"Shall I stop or are you going to enlighten me about what else you've been missing?"

[tryingitall]

"I mean...everything?" He looks sheepish. "No, don't stop, but maybe don't blow in my ear like that when we're in the restaurant. Too much of that and I'll need a cold shower."

There's laughter in his eyes as well as a hint of sheepishness.

"This is good, though." His fingers thread through the angel's, holding their hand gently. "How do you feel about letting me get a goodnight kiss? After dinner."

Pause. "Or...any time, actually."

"I will save whispering in your ear for later." Phenex winks at him mischievously. Happiness and the slight almost boyish shyness is very attractive as far as this angel is concerned.

Threading their fingers a little more tightly their voice comes as a whisper, though at least not at his ear this time. "How do you feel about a kiss now?"

The question is more a rhetorical one because Phenex leans in and gently presses their lips together. Everything about Phenex is on the softer and more sensual side, including their lips which are reminiscent of flower petals warmed by the sun.

Levi hasn't felt his heart do somersaults in his chest like this since he was thirty. "That sounds like a good plan," he says, utterly failing to sound or look suave, and instead just watching Phenex's face like he's semi-mesmerized by them. "Later. When we're alone."

It's fine that the question is rhetorical, because as soon as they finish asking it, Levi leans in to capture the kiss without bothering to answer. As his eyes close, he gets a distinct, searing mental image, Bart's hand twined with his, how his own pink skin looked pressed against the other man's dark bronze, but now he imagines the soft gleam of ivory that is the angel's skin there, with them. Three palms pressed together--and maybe there's more in that than just a pretty image. Maybe a musician and a painter belong in the arms of the angel of art.

Maybe this was somehow meant to happen. Either way, the kiss feels like hope, and the angel's lips, Levi is sure, are both the softest and strongest things in the world.

"OH?" Phenex laughs quietly. "Are you taking me home after dinner?" The innocent flirting and teasing feels good. Phenex has always seen this as a form of art, one they didn't have the option to indulge in as much as they might like.

With his thoughts come feelings that the angel can sense, the connection between the man here and the one that is not. There's no stopping the slight ripple of sadness though if it is Levi's loss or their own sorrow for his loss, Phenex can't be sure.

They slip their arms around Levi's waist, wings flushing to bright pinks and shades of red. After lingering in the kiss for a time the lips pull away, but just enough to smile and speak. "Will this make us late to dinner?"

The pale white-blue eyes dancing with mischief but it's also a more serious question. There would be no resistance to staying here longer.
