He is taking responsibility--

[sweetsweetdevil]

--For your sudden burst of productivity! Which is weird, yeah? But it is true! The little devil on your shoulder's the cause of all this overdue writing and playing and so I demand to be rewarded!

[His tail swings back and forth as he grins that mischievous grin.]

Cake and se--!

[And gets halted because THIS IS A FAMILY PLACE, ARTIE! GOSH! The tail flops and he pouts mutinously but only for a few seconds.]

Fine. But you know what I want.

And I want it now!!!

Hello again~ 8>

[lacksmercy]

My, my. Still demanding as ever, aren't you, Artie?

[ An amused smile here and he cocks his head to the side. Oh how he loves watching the other devil when he gets to be like this. ]

Perhaps maybe if you said 'please', maybe you'd finally get that due reward of yours. Your mun will give you what you want but demanding it like that won't get anything, will it?

Hiiii :3

[sweetsweetdevil]

[He turns quickly at the familiar voice and grins even more.]

I don't need to!

[It doesn't take long for Alfred to find himself an armful of Artie.]

She can be very cooperative~ I am her favorite, you see?

[At least for now.]

<333

[lacksmercy]

[ Chuckles softly, looking upon the other devil with light amusement and a smile curling his lips gently. This contact is nice and as such, he hardly minds it. ]

Is that so? You have it quite lucky then.

Not only are you her favorite, you're mine as well. Though... you already knew that, didn't you?

[sweetsweetdevil]

[Green eyes look up at the other demon as a smaller smile curls his lips. He's snug and comfortable by Alfred.]

It was news to me...

[Because obviously no one actually told him that until only recently.]

[lacksmercy]

Hmm?

[ He hadn't been aware that Arthur didn't know this... but now that he did, that little problem was solved. The look on his face didn't change much other than his smile almost seemed to soften in a way, ice-blue eyes closing for an instance. ]

Was it really? You're the only other devil I would allow to be this close to me... I won't be sappy or sentimental but I can say it's because somehow you're special and I like having you around, Artie.

[sweetsweetdevil]

[Now that Alfred has mentioned it, it does make Artie think. It's not as if Alfred just lets anyone this close to him and not have him take away a limb as payment. How blind he has been but then again Devils are naturally selfish, self-centered beings. Artie just hasn't noticed, but now that he has been duly informed, he smiles more, the apple of his cheeks flushing with almost shyness and an ounce of happiness.]

You do? [He asks, leaning closer and unafraid of asking for confirmation.]

[lacksmercy]

Mm-hm. This isn't something I would lie about.

[ Spoken without fear or hesitation, eyes opening to fix themselves on the red-haired devil that had leant just that little bit closer to him. He was a fairly touchy-feely devil when he wanted to be, which was why he was able to carefully pull his arm away from the other, only to move back in and place itself around Arthur.

Complete with a hand that found it's place against the small of the other's spine in an almost possessive fashion. If his words before hadn't been enough of an answer, this most certainly would be, icy hues glinting with something akin to mischievousness beneath his calm amusement. ]

[sweetsweetdevil]

[Normally, Alfred will just let him cling to him, the picture of benevolent patience. The fact that Alfred lets him cling for as long and as tightly as he wanted is telling enough but to have him touch him back and so meaningfully...]

[Artie shivers at the touch but it's not a bad reaction. On the contrary, he presses even closer, lips parting, pupils blown. He hums softly, a quiet sound of longing and pleading.]

[He wants more.]

[lacksmercy]

[ As Arthur pressed closer, it makes it easier for him to raise his other hand to brush through that soft red hair and ghost along one of those black horns before running downward until his fingers run along the edge of Arthur's jaw and around to the back of his neck.

There's something like an air of confidence within his icy hues then, in that mere moment before he uses that hand on Arthur's neck to push him the last remaining distance closer so their lips could meet.

His kiss is strong, powerful and unrelenting; but not painful. Like he revels in that he seems to have this power over the other devil, the one he holds close to him over any others, and there may be even something underneath but devils are fickle beings so even then it's doubtful there's anything to it other than this, but what matters now is that this kiss is most definitely enjoyable to him already. ]

[roseandcrass]

Cakes and what exactly?

[No, he can't possibly mean that right? after all his mun says that this person was someone similar to this british gentleman.]

[sweetsweetdevil]

I can't tell you because it's a no-no word.

[But he does poke meaningfully at England's butt with his tail as he says so, grinning too mischievously for him to look innocent.]

[roseandcrass]

...

[Well that certainly broke his brain a bit]

...and why are you asking this from your mun? [With that, there's a light blush escaping his cheeks

...then the butt poke. So England turns even redder] Hey, what are you doing?

[sweetsweetdevil]

Because I can~

[And since you haven't stopped him, his tail will start touching more in earnest, brushing playfully along England's arse some more.]

[roseandcrass]

....WHAT DO YOU MEAN BECAUSE YOU CAN?

[Okay now he's a bit irritated with the tail, so he grabs it. If he's also the same as him, why does he have a tail? So unfair]

[sweetsweetdevil]

Because I can! Ack--!

[Ah! You grabbed the tail! Artie jumps in response.]

[roseandcrass]

You don't inconvenience your lady because of such flawed reasons!

[Still groping the tail. Cause his response is funny.]

[sweetsweetdevil]

But she inconveniences me too! And oi! Let go!

[Doesn't tug his tail back because that would hurt.]

[ingodwethrust]

You're the last person who should take responsibility for anyone's productivity— unless it involves sitting around and getting fat.

[sweetsweetdevil]

[He opens his mouth to protest but then thinks about it for a while.]

...She does seem heavier nowadays, now that I think about it...

[ingodwethrust]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

Then I guess you can take credit, since your habits haven't changed any obviously.

[sweetsweetdevil]

[The remark makes him giggle.] Not at all~

[The other demon's eyeroll doesn't faze him any, as usual. He just smiles up at him expectantly, swinging from side to side as he holds his hands behind his back. Artie's obviously curious about this sudden, unexpected appearance from the Jersey Devil.]

[ingodwethrust]

[ He just wanted to point out the obvious. The other's curiosity flies right over his head; after all, don't think he doesn't see that faker over there. No, he writes off the hyperactive disposition to too much sugar and an easily pleased attitude when it comes to attention. Like a dog being petted, he figures the redhead only cares about getting his belly rubbed— not about who does the rubbing. ]

[sweetsweetdevil]

[Well, he does like the attention. He hasn't been getting a lot of it lately and Artie's just really that sociable.]

I haven't seen you in a while. [He states when he finally shakes off a bit of that energy by swaying side to side for a bit. Maybe he has had a bit too much sugar. Maybe. But he is curious because it's true: it's been a while since he's seen Jersey and he has been wondering what he's been up to.]

[ingodwethrust]

...Not that you care.

[sweetsweetdevil]

I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't. [He stops swaying completely and just looks to the other demon for a while, head tilting as his smile slowly fades.] I just didn't know how to find out about you.

Or if I even could ask.

[It had just been so quiet. He looks to him quietly for a moment more.]

...Did you even want to see me?
