Are you sure? You could start.

To begin with, they don't have souls.

[Like he could create weird sex toys like monster fetish shit but they still wouldn't be real people]

I never said a thing about emotional connection, only kissing.

[Look who wouldn't make weird monster fetish sex toys given the chance]

[He actually laughs.]

Very well. Fair enough I suppose.

[Who knows if he was that kinky in Amaurot but he's seen some mortal shit he can't even act surprised.]

["He has seen some mortal shit" yeah]

Giving in so easily? That isn't very fun, how am I supposed to tease you about kissing a demon now?

I'm rather fond of kissing this demon, unfortunate for your plans as that is.

Sure, while I wear a human guise.

I'll kiss you as a demon as well, though the lack of lips will make that an interesting challenge.

[Oh

He's glad? But also that's incredibly embarrassing, he's bullied himself actually.]

...Well I can't very well reciprocate.

Did you think I would not, simply due to a few sharp teeth? Come now Vergil. And as for reciprocation.... Kissing is nice but there are plenty of other ways to show affection.

There's nothing much to kiss. And I'm generally sharp, not exactly made for showing affection.

[It might actually make his human body more appealing.]

Are you unhappy with that?

...I didn't anticipate it ever being a problem.

[He loves his demon form, he does want to default to it. It's how he should be, and his human body is stifling!

...But maybe he shouldn't get rid that completely. Maybe it has its purpose.]

[Human body only for kissing and cuddles.]

Of course. You were planning on being alone after all.

Well yes. Even that aside, though, more recently. I didn't expect the sort of relationship that would make it relevant.

And I suppose you were careful to avoid thinking about wanting one?

...Only insofar as avoiding thinking about you that way. And I suppose being content not having certain memories.

Ha... [cute] avoiding Nero's mother?

...Right. I know enough to know I don't need the full picture, the details will only make things worse.

[But also he's going to keep being bent on getting every single second of his life back. So. Rip. He knows it's coming eventually.]

[Rip indeed.]

Perhaps you will better be able to handle it when you do remember.

Maybe so. But I don't much want to see how I've successfully distanced myself from someone. It might make the temptation worse.

[The thought of which has him absently toying with the ends of Lahabrea's hair.]

Well, as I have said, I have little patience for such things and won't put up with it. Don't worry overmuch.

Good, because I can be very testing.

[Good job, though. He's been thoroughly exhausted with actual emotions. That's one way to sedate him.

He lifts a hand to Lahabrea's cheek, and kisses him.]

[That was not the exact goal but good enough.

He kisses back, easily, happy that Vergil is calmer. Not that he minds the challenging attitude just not where it went.]

[He asked! But where it went was horrifying for Vergil too.

He brushes his fingers through Lahabrea's hair. It's nice taking these small liberties, he'd hate to lose it so quickly. Even if Lahabrea insists he wouldn't let Vergil do that, he's not so sure.]

...Do you mind if I stay here tonight? I don't need to antagonise Taisho any further.
