foreverwingless | 7am wakin' up in the mornin'

It almost seemed strong to act so normal with him again, how easily they had slipped back in their usual routines of him joking around and her being deadpan and sarcastic back, even though it was a little different than before everything had happened since by now they had openly declared their love for each other. It was nice to have everything being so normal for once though, even without witches or any other magical things (well, other than Amakusa, either way) bothering her. Almost as if she was actually a normal person.

Ange had just been in the kitchen when he ran in there, getting something to drink, but then she saw his overly enthusiastic expression and she just raised an eyebrow dryly, continuing to pour some juice in a glass as if he hadn't stormed in with some big declaration like just now.

"If it's thought up by you it can't be any good for me." A very slight and light sigh. "But sure, I'm listening. What's up?"

When she was done pouring her drink, Amakusa reached out towards the glass and snatched it. This was his now, sorry Ange- deal with it.

He walked away from her a bit, sipping at the juice before he turned back around to look at her, "now, you're going to have to agree with me on this- since it's a pretty big thing to do. Now... I know you said not to change back into that wolf form of mine, but if I was in that form for let's say... all day, and I was just here in the mansion with you do you think you can handle that?"

He paused, taking another gulp of her... his juice, "it's so crazy it just might work! I'll have full control- you'll just have to trust me on this."

... Why was she not entirely surprised that he just took that glass as if it was his own. And yet she's just annoyed in that deadpan way again all the same, not even bothering to pour another glass for herself out of sheer stubbornness and sense of pride, just putting the juice away again for now as she stared at him.

But then she heard what he was actually asking from her, and even though she tried her best to not show it on the outside, she was definitely surprised. Especially when last time she had asked him to not transform again, to make sure it wouldn't get out of hand the way it did back then. But.. now he was proposing that all by himself? "H-- how are you so sure you'll have full control?"

Despite her attempts, some of her nervousness over it slipped out in that stutter - at least she was keeping up her deadpan expression very well so far. "Besides, how is you staying here like that all day going to help anything at all?"

Amakusa waggled a finger at her when she tried to object, "it'll help by showing you that side of me is apart of me too... you told me not to change into it but- ....see, I can't just keep going on with you thinking that part of my is scary. It's like two sides of the same coin, you know? You can't accept one without accepting the other lady."

He walked over to her, setting the glass back down on the counter, it was all gone now- and he didn't feel guilt about taking it away from her in the slightest.

"C'mon, I swear I'll be < cool > about this! Please lady...?"

Well.. She could understand his reasoning. In a way it was unfair of her to demand him to surpress something that was part of himself, just because of her own fear. But at the same time.. "Like 'being < cool >' will have to do anything with it once you're at my throat." She just mumbled that to herself, staring at the empty glass as if it was all that thing's fault - god, she was still thirsty but nope, not going to drink now Amakusa ruined her fun.

Ange crossed her arms as she stared at him. "In that case, can you guarantee that absolutely nothing bad will happen? As long as you can't, it's all just useless."

Aha, having better hearing that most helped in this kind of situation, so he heard her mumble those words to herself. After she had crossed her arms, he walked over to her, and he leaned in and quickly stole a kiss. He lingered against her lips for a moment before pulling away and smirking.

"Mercenary's honor," he lifted his hand up in front of him like he was taking a pledge, even going to far as to place a hand on his heart. He wouldn't hurt her, he was determined to get over this. What Bern said still lingered in his mind, so he wanted to show her that witch was lying.

Now that just wasn't fair. How was she supposed to think straight about all of this if he suddenly approached her like that and kissed her before she had any time to think about what he was doing? And even though they had kissed before, it still managed to bring a blush to her face all the same. This guy, casually kissing her as if it was nothing, as if it wasn't embarassing in the slightest..

Almost despite herself she lifted the back of her hand up to her lips when he pulled away, the blush easily visible on her face as she frowned. Not that she had minded the kiss, she actually did rather like kissing him, it was just.. embarassing enough to awaken the tsundere in her. "You.."

It took her a moment of near sputtering like that to regain her composture, but then.. it was a little slow, and maybe still slightly hesitant, but she nodded. "Fine. If you want to so badly.. you can change into that for the day." Slowly she dropped her hand again. "Don't make me regret that decision."

"Oho~! You won't regret this lady, not at all-! You like puppies don't you?" he paused, but then he just smirked and walked away from her a bit. Yes, he planned on winning her over by acting like a natural dog- a puppy even.... he had been thinking about those shoes of hers, she didn't need all those pairs, right? Aha, the thought made him laugh to himself.

Amakusa dashed away from her, going out of the kitchen. He didn't want to transform right in front of her since it was a little scary at first- so he quickly morphed, that feeling of being a werewolf taking over yet again. After a few moment, the wolf came dashing back into the kitchen- on all fours and looking up at her with puppy eyes.

Let the games begin... he thought to himself. If he could laugh he would have been guffawing to himself. He trotted over to her, and nudged at her side with his nose.

To be entirely honest, there was still a part of her feeling anxious about all of this. It was hard to shake off the images of that day, even if it had been days ago already, and not to mention what Bernkastel had told her afterwards.. She was scared that something might go wrong, but at least Amakusa promised just now that nothing would happen, right? And.. she could at least trust him on that, right..?

But before she could think more about it, the wolf had already emerged again. Not to mention he was giving her a look the way a cute dog would-- ah, no, what was he even trying to do, trying to act like some sort of puppy here?

Ange swallowed a little before she reached out to pat his head slightly once she felt him nudging her there, rubbing the fur on his head. "... There, are you happy now?" She meant the allowing him to transform thing in general, not just the pat, although that would work too.

He let out a small yelp when she asked that, and just wagged his tail back and forth. Aha, this was too much fun already-...! Just thinking about all the things he could do....

Amakusa pulled away from her, and he stood up on his two legs for a moment- towering over her since he was so huge compared to her now. He quickly turned around and trotted out of the room again. He wanted those shoes....! So, cue howling and running through the mansion, going up the staircase towards her room-!

Catch him Ange this is going to be bad!

"H-hey, where are you--" She followed him with her gaze as he suddenly stood up like that - he could at least stop doing that, it was near-frightening to see him so much bigger than her in this form, knowing he could kill her that easily if anything would happen, she would tell him to at least cut that out later - and then he ran away.

... Wait, if he was running away..

Ange quickly started to dash after him, just since she didn't trust him at all in this michievous form. Not to mention he was cheeky enough normally too, so this only made it worse. "Am--" no, wait, she didn't call him by his last name anymore, "Ju--" ah, no, his first name was definitely too embarassing in a situation like this!! Having nothing to settle on, she just skipped the name part. "Get back here..!" She ran up the staircase as well.

Oh how he was laughing internally about all this as he just continued up the staircase. He turned and ran down a hall, going straight for her room. After he pushed the door open and he glanced around her room- he dashed towards her closet.

Even if she was following behind him, he was still too quick. Yep, he had grabbed one of her shoes. He sauntered away from her closet and laid down on the ground, starting to chew at the shoe. He was always curious about this, but now that he was doing he saw the appeal- it was more to just piss of Ange though since he figured this for a game.

He was wagging his tail happily as he ripped her shoe apart.

As she ran into her room, nearly out of breath because of how fast she had to go to even remotely keep up with him, she stared.. just to find him over there, already happily munching on her shoe as if it was the best thing in the world. Besides, why did he feel the need to destroy her shoes like that?!

"What do you think you're doing?!" She stomped over to him with a frown, perhaps even huffing slightly, until she stood right in front of him. Somehow it was different, him acting like this, because she couldn't have imagined before that she would be yelling at the wolf like this, like it was nothing at all, not something frightening.

"Don't even try to joke around with me, I know that even if you transform, you can still think as yourself, right? Geez, trying to annoy me like this, aren't you..?"

Of course I'm still myself... he thought to himself as he continued to chew on that shoe of hers. But, alas- when she was in the room and actually caught him it wasn't as fun. So, he dropped it and then he sat up, sitting there like a regular dog and wagging his tail back and forth.

He glanced around, seeing what else he could chew on that would tick her off... the shoe was most definitely destroyed thanks to his massive teeth, so that was a lost cause.

So, while he was trying to decide other ways to piss her off, he glanced up at her with puppy eyes, his mouth opening and he panted slightly.

Ange just stared at the shoe, briefly mourning the loss before she realised she could easily just buy a new pair. But then again, it was just the idea of him chewing on her shoes and completely ruining them for no reason other than.. well, being a dog-like puppy thing or whatever.

So the frown didn't let up just yet as she stared down at him, not even when he gave her that look with the puppy eyes again. Did he really think she was stupid enough to fall for that, even if it was somehow cute and adorable on him and-- oh dammit.

"So, if you're going to be like a dog, you could at least do some tricks, right? Why don't you roll over?"

Hah! He could think still like a human, so when she started asking about doing tricks, his initial reaction was to not do anything but... wouldn't it be even more irresistible if he actually did the tricks she was talking about? Oh if only Ange could see the smirk on his face... well, smirking internally.

He whined and then flopped down on his stomach before rolling over. He rolled over on his back and stared up at her, having to tilt his head back- and she looked upside down to him at this position. Even so, he just wagged his tail with his belly in the air.

... He actually listened - she didn't quite expect him to, it was more just half a joke since she knew he would just run off to ruin more stuff of hers. But then he actually listened to her, performing the trick, and.. no, don't give in, Ange Ushiromiya, he's just trying to make you fall for his cutesy stuff, but..

At least she managed to force down the smile that was fighting to make its way onto her face before she squatted down to be on a more even level with him, scratching his belly lightly - almost forgetting this was Amakusa of all people. There, that was good enough of a reward, right?

Yahoo~! This was more fun than he had ever imagined! He continued to wag his tail, even when she started to scratch his stomach he wiggled in place a bit, showing just how happy he was getting some of the tummy-rubs.

Oh man, he nearly started to talk to her in her mind like all furniture could, but he didn't want to do that just yet- he wanted to keep playing with her and tricking her in different ways...! Sure, he was trying to gain her trust back, but when he could easily do stuff like this and have her pet him, it was just too hilarious!

He rolled over so he was back on his stomach, and moved to sit up again. He glanced over at her for a moment and- sorry Ange, he goes over to her and licks her on the cheek.

Yes, when he was wiggling there so happily and in such a cute way, for a moment Ange completely forgot what she was dealing with here, that the dog in front of her was actually a really annoying man, yet at the same time the guy she loved, instead of just some cute puppy. But it just wasn't fair, with the way he was acting like this to get her to pat him and like him.

But then he suddenly moved away from her hand and instead to her face, giving her a lick. And her hand moved up to her face almost out of instinct to at least wipe it off a little, but at the same time she didn't seem completely annoyed about the action - at least, not as much as she usually seemed at him. "Come on, was that really needed..?"

Yes, yes it was needed. He had to show her just how much she could trust him, and it was really funny to him to see her stop being so sarcastic around him just because he looks more like a gigantic dog now.

In any case, he stood up on his hind legs again and started to trot out the door. He wanted to find something else to do so... actually- he was still hungry. He sauntered down the hallway, the stairs- and now he was going back into the kitchen. Sorry yet again Ange, but that fridge is going to be raided!!

Amakusa went to it, reaching out a claw and opening it. He sniffed around inside, trying to find something to eat....! Oh sausage... he is now chomping down on random meat in the fridge.

"Hey, if you're going to be stuck in this form, at least properly walk on four legs like a dog..!" She shouted that after him as he sauntered out of the room, but it wasn't just because of that that she didn't want him to stand up like that - it's since she was much more likely to think back to the other day if he would seem big and intimidating, especially considering just how much bigger he was compared to her when he stood up.

She did follow him though, although slightly late since by the time she arrived in the kitchen, she already found him there with the meat, messing everything up once again. She would have to call the servants back once all of this was over just to clean up his mess at this rate, and she frowned again slightly as she leaned against the side of the doorpost. "... you could at least ask, you know, instead of just grabbing it. Even if you can't talk."

Blah blah blah, he just thought that she was being ridiculous now. He was Amakusa after all, he couldn't be tamed by anyone, not even his all too hot headed girlfriend who preferred to be deadpan and sarcastic rather than actually express her feelings for once. In any case, he leaned back from the fridge, closing it, now munching on a sausage as he looked over at her. He wasn't about to go down on all fours again, he was a wolf but- he was still part human.

He snorted, making a sound that he didn't approve of her words. It's not like he had to ask to eat before, so that's not going to change.

After a few more moments, a certain someone appeared beside Ange- one of her other friends, or rather furniture. It was Mammon who had materialized this time, and she was floating beside Ange with her arms crossed and staring at Amakusa.

".....Ange-sama... I never doubted you before but- I have to doubt your taste in men," and that kind of comment earned Mammon a small growl from Amakusa, but then he just continued to eat that sausage.

What was up all of a sudden? He had been.. well, a lot like himself earlier, even if it was in a much cuter form, but still as teasing and slightly annoying as ever. But with the way he was acting now, growling and making disapproving sounds.. it was more as if he was moody than anything else.

But just as Ange was frowning (partially in confusion, this time) at it, she suddenly heard another voice instead. It had been a little while since she had actually talked with any of the stakes, so there was slight surprise at it for a moment, but it quickly ebbed away. It wasn't that strange to suddenly see Mammon there, after all, and she was a friend so it didn't matter either way.

"What are you saying?" Ange gave Mammon a slightly surprised glance before staring at Amakusa out of the corners of her eyes again. Sure, he could drive her up the wall at times, but.. it wasn't like he was a bad person or a bad boyfriend, right? And she loved him, so.. "He's not bad enough for you to doubt me over, right..?"

Oh god... Amakusa had a feeling that Mammon was about to blow his cover. The furniture all knew each other, so of course Mammmon would know that little rule that furniture can speak with their master through their mind. He didn't want to give up this little game just yet, so he stared at Mammon- and if he was human, a smug grin would be on his face to hide what he was really feeling.

Mammon on the other hand, huffed and flipped some locks of hair over her shoulder. "I'm sorry but- you're literally dating a dog," Mammon paused and floated over to where Amakusa was. After a moment, the stake sat upon the wolf's shoulder, crossing her legs.

"Isn't that right Amakusa...? You're just a big bad wolf, not actual furniture. There's no way you can stand up to us sisters~!" she giggled at her own jeer and refused to leave from her spot.

... Please tell her that this was all some awful weird dream and that she would wake up soon enough with a feeling that she should not have eaten those nachos Amakusa had made her order last night. The last thing she needed right now was for her furniture to start bickering among themselves, the sisters already did it enough with each other - which was why it was easier to have just Mammon around - but now between Mammon and Amakusa too..

"M--.. Mammon, cut that out." Ange sighed a little, trying to appear just as usual, but it was obvious she was a little awkward because of all of this, because of this entire situation. "He's not just a dog, are you trying to joke about me being into bestiality?" And please, please don't provoke each other further - but she didn't add that part, only mentally.

"Oh fine...!" Mammon smiled at Ange's words and jumped down from where she was atop Amakusa. "As for the bestiality thing... who knows~? I won't judge you, but that sure is something." The stake went back over to Ange, now behind her as she whispered into her ear while staring at Amakusa.

"By the way.... I think he's trying to trick you, since he can talk with you- but he's choosing not to." Mammon couldn't resist letting that one slide. She was curious and wanted to see this unfold.

Amakusa on the other hand, still just stared over at the two girls. He heard what Mammon said, and he figured that the jig was up. He was obviously exposed- so he might as well show her that he really can talk to her.

'Guess I can't hide that forever...' Amakusa was now talking in her head.

There was slight surprise at the sudden voice in her head, considering she didn't exactly expect Amakusa to be able to talk, just based on the fact that he hadn't yet. It was so obvious that he was exactly the kind of guy who would hide it, and yet she hadn't even considered it, and.. that was enough to make her feel a little embarassed, but she quickly covered up the embarassment with annoyance instead.

"You could talk all along..?" She was talking out loud though, since it didn't really matter here whether she communicated with him in her head or out loud, not in the way it had mattered back in school with the other stakes. For a moment she completely forgot about Mammon, just staring at the wolf instead. "... Geez, you were just trying to play around with me again by hiding it, huh?"

Mammon giggled when Ange spoke to Amakusa. She was amused at this, definitely. She wanted to see some kind of conflict between the two of them, after all, Ange was her best friend and she wanted to have her more to herself anyways.

"Actually Ange-sama, it's weird that you didn't think he could talk to you like that in the first place," Mammon floated behind Ange, coming around to the side of her to poke her cheek.

Amakusa sauntered over to where the two girls were, the sausage now all gone. Too bad though, he wanted more of it... in any case, he glanced over at Mammon, 'yeah yah that's right lady, I just wanted to mess with you a bit more here. Looks like my plans were foiled by a certain stake though...'

Ange batted Mammon's hand away just slightly - very lightly, too, considering how much more gentle she was in that sense with her stake friends compared to people like Battler or Amakusa - to prevent her from poking her cheek further. This situation was already bad enough without being further embarassed like that, really.

"How was I supposed to know he could talk?" She knew Mammon was right, but Ange couldn't help but protest all the same, still seeming a bit embarassed. "He's practically like some wolf-- like a dog like this, him being able to talk with me like that wasn't exactly the first thing that crossed my mind."

Now she did glance back to Amakusa instead though, letting out a sigh. "I'm at least glad Mammon told me, otherwise you might have kept it hidden for a long time."

'Oh come on lady! It was pretty fun while it lasted right?' Amakusa walked over to her, down on all fours again and he nudged at her side with his head. Basically trying to get her to pet him again- his tail wagging back and forth rapidly, 'rub my stomach again that was < cool > yeah? Hyahaha~!'

He was still the same old Amakusa, just in a different form. He loved to tease her, it was his favorite thing to do- even after they had become a couple, it became even more entertaining.

Mammon on the other hand floated over to Amakusa, and then plopped down on his back- riding him like a horse. She grabbed his fur and looked at Ange with an amused expression.

"He's not a dog! He's big enough to be a horse~! Come on, let's go for a ride!" That might have been a bit more embarrassing than she had anticipated, basically asking Ange to ride her boyfriend.

Somehow there was much less appeal in Amakusa as a puppy if he would open his mouth and say those lame kind of things - even if it was actually mentally rather than him saying it, that laugh was enough to already make her feel embarassed over actually petting him earlier like he had been some kind of real puppy. But the embarassment soon settled for some second-hand embarassment instead when she saw Mammon sitting there on Amakusa's back, basically riding her boyfriend. And asking her to join in too.

Freud would have a field trip with this kind of situation, she couldn't help but think.

"I'm not going to ride him, Mammon." At least she managed to get that out with the most flat and monotonous tone she had been able to muster up in a while, and she glared slightly at the two before turning on her heels to walk up the stairs instead.

"I'm tired of all of this. Just let me nap already."

Mammon gigled as she stayed on Amakusa's back, even when Ange started to glare at the two of them. She could tell her master was annoyed with all of this- but when wasn't Ange annoyed? Mammon shrugged and then pushed off of Amausa, floating away from him.

"Oh well... this isn't as exciting anymore," with that, Mammon gave a 'v' sign to the wolf before disappearing in a cloud of butterflies.

Amakusa on the other hand... saw a different opportunity to tick off Ange. The wolf ran after her, but he went past her yet again, dashing back towards her bedroom. He had a plan...! Once he was in her room, he went right to her bed, grabbing the sheets with his mouth- and he pulled them off. After that was done, he crawled under the bed, trying to make his own comfortable spot.... but with Ange's blankets of course.

The moment she noticed Amakusa dashing past her like that, she just knew he had something bad up his sleeve again. Last time it had been her shoes, what possession of hers would he go for next time-- She quickly started to quicken up her footsteps, but even so it was near impossible to catch up with him and by the time she made it to the room the deed was already done. Her bed was empty instead of covered, the sheets gone and.. Amakusa gone too..?

... No, wait. There was definitely only one spot that guy-- well, wolf could be right now. So with a slightly lineface-yet-annoyed expression she squatted down to be able to look under the bed. And her hunch was right, that was exactly where he was sitting with the blankets, as if he was building some sort of nest just for him there.

"Were you still planning on sharing those or what?" Ange tried her best to keep her tone as calm and collected as possible - the last thing she wanted was for this guy to get amusement even out of this.

Was he planning on sharing? Maybe. But he just wanted to see what she would do now that he had all her covers. Amakusa just laid there, staring at her and wagging his tail- and soon enough he had moved so he was now underneath the covers, crawling towards her. Eventually his head popped out from under the blankets, and he laid it down on the ground and looked up at her with his puppy eyes.

'Depends... you've been kicking me out to sleep on the couch these last couple days. Can't you share the bed this once lady?'

Oh and have a few sounds of him whining, why not.

... Oh no. He was just trying to be cute again, trying to make her think he was just like some sort of puppy, just like he had before when she had scratched his belly, but.. nope, she wasn't going to fall for it a second time.

She wasn't going to fall for a trick as stupid as this.

She could easily ignore it.

............

Okay, so maybe she couldn't exactly ignore it, because there was something incredibly adorable about all of this, and... well, they did love each other, so it wasn't too horrible if he shared the bed with her, right? It would just be lying together in the same bed, nothing strange about that, and he was just like a big dog right now, so that would even make it even less strange, plenty of people have their pets sleep on their beds.

So after a deep breath - and trying to hide her embarassment behind a lineface - she nods relunctantly. "... Yeah. I guess you can sleep with me on the bed."

Aha, he knew that no matter how much she tried to deny him, it was useless in the end. He may still be the same old Amakusa, but he knew how to act like a proper dog. No one could resist the puppy eyes when he attempted it, even as a big bad werewolf he knew he could be cute at least a little bit. Amakusa moved- crawling out from under the bed and moving towards Ange. He was still on all fours at least, and with her kneeling it made it easier to push his head against hers, probably with enough strength to push her over even.

'Oh lady~! Thank you thank you! I've been wanting to at least sleep in the same bed for a while. Don't tell me I have to be a wolf every time though...'

Aww, how cute, an affectionate headbump - which had enough strength in it to make her wobble over and land backwards on her butt on the ground rather than kneeling there. But for once she didn't exactly complain about that, even though her expression was still rather deadpan at it all.

"If you promise to behave this time, maybe next time you can try it as a human." It would be a step up the ladder of embarassment to actually sleep in the same bed as a guy rather than a wolf though, even if in the end they were the same person, not to mention the person she loved. "So get those sheets out from under there and you can come up on the bed with me."

Meanwhile Ange stood up to walk over to the bed's side and sat down on it, removing her shoes and then starting to work on her jacket - it would be too hot to nap with her jacket on, after all, so she dropped her ribbon and jacket to the ground as well, opting to just lie there and sleep a bit in her blouse.

Amakusa watched her move to get up and if he was in his human form, he would be grinning at her. He turned around, crawling under the bed a bit to grab the sheets with his mouth. He pulled the blankets back out, and then he stood up on his legs to actually grab the blankets with his claws. He just tossed the blankets back on the bed, and then he jumped up as well... except he wasn't about to lie with her just yet.

Amakusa clawed at the bed- as though he was digging to try and make his own place to rest. He was doing it to see her reaction again, it wasn't like this wolf form had more control over himself than his human form.

'Just keeping digging~...!' he sang to himself in his head, but Ange could probably hear it too.

It actually took a moment for her to notice what he was doing, since she was so focused on taking her jacket off that she just assumed he had been grabbing the sheets and putting them on the bed.. but now she did look sideways at him now she was done, she could see the wolf practically trying to dig into the bed, the way a regular dog might to make a place to sleep.

Instinct kicked in before reasoning, and so Ange couldn't help but first react as if it had been a regular dog doing that, even if she had heard his voice in her head again just now. "H.. hey! Cut that out!"

It wasn't until she reached over as if to stop him that she realised that maybe it was just another one of his silly jokes while he was stuck in this form - and that she was falling for it yet again.

Oh yes, she had fallen for it yet again. She was way too easy to manipulate, Amakusa was usually really good at controlling others or getting them to talk with his silly attitude, but Ange was easy to read as well so it was all the more fun.

He stopped digging and sat on the bed, staring over at her and his tail wagging slightly, 'lady you're so predictable... it's adorable.' And with that, the wolf moved over to where she was, plopping down on his side.

Before could say anything, he was already moving to snuggle closer with her, and arm moving over top of her, almost in a protective manner. He was still Amakusa after all, and he loved Ange- so holding her close was like second nature.

She was about to protest, really, because there was no way she was predictable, even if he got her good a few times today that didn't mean he was in the lead or in charge at all, the very idea of it made her want to protest, but the moment she opened her mouth he was already flopping down next to her like that and..

Geez, this guy just had to be annoying no matter his form or the situation, but then.. why didn't she exactly even feel annoyed anymore, the feeling quickly starting to fade away from within her? Instead it was replaced with a feeling that was a little happier, and at the very least warmer. Him holding his arm over her like that.. even though she was always stubborn enough to want to do things for herself and even try to fight for herself and protect herself, there was still always something nice about him protecting him, if not just because it made sure she at least had the feeling that she knew there was always someone right there for her. After everything Bernkastel made them go through.. If this fragment was really supposed to be happy, then there was no problem with being happy with him, right..?

"What, are you trying to be my guard dog here?" She remarked that at the protective arm, but it wasn't really deadpan anymore - it was a little softer, and at the very least there was more of a warm emotion in it than her deadpan. Ange moved one of her arms a little too to be able to stroke his fur lightly with her hand.

..Yeah, he liked protecting her. He liked being around her like this- even if she was still a little deadpan around him. He just liked being near his master, and also his lover. Lately he had been feeling anxious since Bernkastel had informed them that in the end he would ruin her, that he would be the one to bring about destruction. However, they needed to remember times like this- even if that day does come.

Amakusa moved his claw, grabbing her wrist. Gently, he brought her hand towards his chest, right over his heart. She could probably feel it beating, he wanted her to since he had a point he wanted to make.

'Ange...' the dropped honorifics and everything, 'no matter what form I'm in, what has happened or will happen between us. I want you to remember, my heart belongs to you. Not only as a servant to a master.'

Gaahh he was being sappy again. He didn't really mean to come off so corny, he really blamed Battler for the sixth game. It was a curse to see those two demons running around screaming about love.

At first there was a slight moment of surprise as he suddenly said that. It was still a little embarassing to hear him calling her like that, without the honorific he had always used, but now he was saying something that corny.. The corniness of it all was definitely embarassing, but that wasn't the only reason why her cheeks started to flush a little. It was also because the man she loved was telling her this, the person she wanted to stick with forever even if everyone else had abandoned her long ago.

"I--" Ange just stammered a little at first as she tried to find words throughout how flustered she was, but she quickly shook her head to herself a little to make herself speak on. "I wouldn't want it to be like that either way.. only as a servant to a master, that is." Thinking of this man as just her servant, her furniture, almost a possession of hers.. no, she definitely couldn't do that since she truly loved him. "I'll.. love you forever. No matter what." Hadn't she already proved that much when she had told him the same even when he had been hovering over her, holding out his claw as if to strike?

She lowered her eyes a little as if avoiding his gaze a little now and spoke on. "So please don't say something like 'no matter what will happen'.. You said Bernkastel was just lying, so.. We were going to believe in that, right?" It was gradually already becoming slightly easier to let him see this side of her, more emotional and loving and vulnerable, but it was still difficult enough to leave the blush on her face constantly.

He released his hold on her wrist and went back to draping his arm over her, pulling her a bit closer to him. It was odd like this, since he was still in his wolf form and everything, but he was still like some big protective dog. In any case, what she said made his own heart skip a beat, and he wondered briefly if she felt that since they were so close.

No matter what huh? That was an incredible statement. He still didn't know what was in store for them, but he had a feeling that things might change. Bernkastel might be a liar at times, but she woudn't set them free unless there was something else about to happen. He assumed as much and it sounded like the logical explanation.

'Bernkastel is lying,' now he was the liar here, but it was to make her feel better, 'and I'll always love you, lady.' He had to add her little nickname, he's not the best at being sappy. He was tired though, so taking a nap with her would be good for both of them.

It did make her feel better. After all, she trusted him, especially on a topic like this since he was the one who would know most about his own powers, his own behaviour, his own control over everything, not to mention that he knew a lot about Bernkastel too from serving the witches of the senate before this, so Ange figured he would definitely know whether what Bernkastel said was true or not. The possibility that he was worried too but just lying to make her feel better didn't quite skip her mind, though.

Ange had already closed her eyes as if she was ready to nap already (she did feel a little tired by now, and the warmth coming from him only helped that), apparently for once not minding that she was this close to him. She tugged on the sheets a little to cover them more before just lying still on her side next to him.

"Then.. it's alright, isn't it?" If Bernkastel was lying, there was nothing bad that could happen as long as they were together, as long as he was by her side.. they could just live happily here, right? "There's nothing to worry about anymore." Her voice wasn't much more than a mumble by now.

...Ah, he felt a little bad about lying to her, but it was for the best. Even though he was still confused about what Bern had been saying, he had a feeling that she was right- that he would indeed turn into something that would ruin her. He didn't know when exactly- but until then they would be together.

He noticed that she had fallen asleep by now, his much bigger frame side by side with hers. She was cuddling him slightly, but after he was sure that she was asleep and wouldn't wake back up right away, he had slowly transformed back into that of a human.

Amakusa was back to being just a man again, and he stared at her sleeping form, smiling. He reached out to her, brushing her bangs out of her face, and then his hand trailing down her cheek. He had woken her up like this back in the sixth game, but by how exhausted she was he guessed she wasn't going to wake up from his touch.

"I just hope there's nothing to worry about..." he whispered to her before drifting off to sleep himself.
