[retire]

"Come with you?" The offer was almost baffling in a way, as if Bel wasn't entirely sure what to make of it. It seemed like the point of attending the event would've been to inspire envy in others, but he wasn't sure how bringing him along was going to do something like that. Somehow, though, the thought of it wasn't so awful. There were definitely things he would've avoided over spending more time with Levi. "I can, if you want me to."

His agreement came as Leviathan started to look into housing options for him and he turned his attention to the screen again. "I only want one floor. Or an elevator. Money isn't a problem."

[sea_green]

"You don't have to, if you don't want to," Levi immediately backed off, seeing how confused Belphegor had been by the very suggestion. He didn't really know what was going on in his own head right now, but he did know he didn't want Bel to know about it.

He fell silent as he scrolled through the housing options, not really resting on any of them, none seemed quite right - of course, he was forgetting that he wasn't looking for himself, but for Bel, and his opinion didn't really matter.

[retire]

Leviathan's backtrack of the offer he'd made earned a sideways glance from Belphegor, but no immediate comment to go along with it. It was impossible to ignore the way Levi was acting, something that seemed to have started the previous night and was lingering even after sleep.

He thought the task of finding a place for him would be easy given the request to get out from the night before. But Bel found himself watching as Levi scrolled through possibilities, not bothering to point out that any number of them fulfilled his minimal requirements.

After three pages worth of options being passed by, Bel looked over at the other demon again. "Is something bothering you, Levi?"

[sea_green]

Through page one, he decided none of them were good enough, on page two he reminded himself who they were actually looking for but all the options he saw were too nice and he wanted them for himself, and by page three he was back to thinking nothing was good enough for what Bel wanted, after all why move out for anything less than perfection - forgetting, of course, that it was Levi himself who had decided Bel needed to go.

He looked up with a start at the question, shaking his head perhaps just a fraction too quick.

"Nothing's bothering me, why would something be bothering me?"

[retire]

Bel stared at him as he answered, quiet for a few moments.

"Weren't you ready to kick me out last night?" he asked after a little longer, straightening up so he wasn't leaning so far against Levi as he did. It was curious, the flip flopping that Levi seemed to be going through, and he wanted to know the reason behind it.

"If you want me gone, why do you seem so against actually getting me out of here?"

[sea_green]

Leviathan stared at the screen in front of him for a long time, silent, it was obvious he wasn't really looking at anything but was instead contemplating his answer. The longer the silence stretched on, the more he knew that he couldn't get away with denying that anything was wrong.

"I don't want you going to Asmodeus." he said eventually, he knew it didn't make a lot of sense and Bel would probably have to press for more, but he didn't offer anything further, wasn't sure exactly what he'd say if he was pressed.

[retire]

The answer he finally got was a surprising one. One that made a little bit of sense of the reaction the night before, but still left questions. Jealousy was the obvious answer, Bel knew that much. But the question was jealousy over what. It was an easy thing to pinpoint when physical objects were involved, but it was a little harder given the situation and the lack of anything worth coveting.

"Is it the sex?" His question was blunt, asked with a quiet sigh. "Because you're welcome to it. You can tell him I said hi while you're there so he doesn't try to find me instead."

[sea_green]

Leviathan glanced sideways at him, eyebrow raised, curious how Bel could get it so wrong and yet so right at the same time. He knew that much at least, it wasn't Asmodeus he desired, maybe it was because he knew he could have that any time he wanted, it wasn't like the other demon would particularly complain about any of them dropping by to get laid.

"No," he corrected after a moment of gathering his thoughts "I don't want to sleep with him."

[retire]

It was true, there was no real reason for jealousy when it came to Asmodeus. For all he cared, both of them could have shown up at once and he would've had just as good a time. In that sense, he was probably the most welcoming of them.

If it weren't for the look and the tone Leviathan spoke in, Bel would have accepted the answer and simply gone on to question what else it was supposed to be instead. But he found himself looking over at Levi, eyes widening.

"You want to sleep with me?"

[sea_green]

Leviathan opened his mouth to explain that no, he just didn't want Asmodeus to sleep with him, because he was clear on that point at least, it was just his reasons for doing it that he hadn't quite figured out. Then he did figure it out, all at once, and he didn't know why he hadn't made sense of it before because really it was obvious. He closed his mouth with a snap while he contemplated it.

It was straightforward, he didn't have to think too hard about it, he wanted Bel because there was a possibility that somebody else would have him, that was the fundamentals of his sin and he didn't have to examine it any closer. Only... he wasn't sure it was that simple.

"Yes." he said eventually, cutting through his own mental circles.

[retire]

He blinked at the reply, simple and short and to the point. And, for a second, Bel almost considered asking why Levi felt the way he did. It seemed ridiculous.

But the question was held back, left behind as he considered it more. He reached out and pushed the top of the laptop down, closing it while it was still sitting on Leviathan's lap. Then he turned toward him, leaning closer.

"Are you telling me that you want me?" Bel was all too aware of who he was talking to and the possessiveness that likely went along with the feeling mentioned. He also knew the feeling probably wasn't going to last all that long with how easily Levi jumped from whim to whim, likely to move on to some attractive human soon enough.

[sea_green]

He was glad when Bel didn't seem inclined to push for more explanation, wasn't sure he was ready to try and find the words for it, though for a long moment he doesn't know how Bel is going to react. With Asmodeus, that sentiment was common, but less so for the rest of them.

He pushed aside the laptop when Bel closed it, twisting slightly to face the other prince as Belphegor turned to him.

"That's... that's what I'm telling you, yes." he nodded

[retire]

It was definitely the kind of sentiment he hadn't heard in some time, and definitely not something he'd heard from any of his fellow princes. The last time he'd heard it was from a human, someone he'd left with yet another idea for making them lazier. He'd only ever been desired as a muse for those types.

So even with the knowledge of the jealousy, it was still strange. But Bel found the idea... appealing, oddly enough.

Appealing enough that he nodded in return and leaned closer to Leviathan, tilting his head so his lips brushed against the other demon's cheek. The move was a path toward his ear, where Bel murmured, "You can have me."

[sea_green]

Levi waited with mounting impatience for Bel to make his decision, but when he finally leaned in, brushed his lips against Levi's skin and whispered his agreement, it sent a shiver down Levi's spine, caused a spike of want that was stronger than anything he'd felt in a long time.

Maybe it was just because the jealousy had been so strong, but right now he didn't really care to examine the reasons because Bel was leaned up close to him and telling Levi he could have what he wanted and he would be an idiot not to take it.

He slid a hand around Bel's waist, pulling him even closer, twisting his head until their lips were close enough to meet.

"Are you sure?"

[retire]

The pull dragged him closer, closing the already small space between them in a way that almost had Bel in Levi's lap. He pulled his head back just slightly, lips brushing against Leviathan's as he turned his head.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

Then, as if to confirm his answer, Bel tilted his head and pressed a slow, lingering sort of kiss to Levi's lips entirely of his own accord. It was almost his way of admitting that Levi was his favorite, the only one he was willing to expend more energy than truly necessary on.

[sea_green]

Levi was surprised when Bel was the one to make the effort to press their lips together, given that it was clearly only a matter of time before Levi would have done it himself, the fact that the other prince did something he didn't have to do was a shock - but it only served as extra encouragement once Levi came to his senses again.

He lifted his hand, winding his fingers into Bel's air and pushing forward to deepen the kiss.

[retire]

Bel let out a quiet hum as fingers slid into his hair and the kiss went from lazy to something with more push and demand to it. It had him reaching forward, his own fingers curling into Levi's shirt as he kissed back and moved from his spot, pushing himself up just enough to swing one leg over Levi's lap.

With the move, he straddled the other demon's legs as they kissed, bringing them closer together and allowing him the benefit of a more comfortable position that didn't involve quite so much angling.

[sea_green]

Levi groaned slightly in satisfaction as Bel climbed onto him - yet more activity that the other demon didn't have to engage but chose to, and the thought of that made him smile against Bel's lips. He didn't know why he was so pleased, but he couldn't deny that he was.

The movement also made it a lot easier for him to wrap both arms around Bel, one remaining tangled in his hair but the other sliding up under his shirt, fingers drawing up and down the other prince's back.

[retire]

The hand under his shirt drew out a shiver that rolled up along Bel's spine as fingers traced up and down along his skin. As much as lust was an underlying urge, he rarely acted on it, usually favoring inaction above all else. So giving in to something like that, and with the one prince he felt an urge to give in with, after so much time avoiding it made it all the better.

"Levi." The nickname was almost groaned out against his lips as Bel pressed in a little closer, his own hands releasing their hold on Levi's shirt to slide down between them instead.

[sea_green]

Hearing Bel say his name like that was like a drug, he wondered what other delightful little noises he could draw out of the lazy demon, how much he could encourage Bel to actually do, with touches and kisses and his own words. He was all for them all giving in to their sins, but right now the only one he was interested in was the one not represented by either of them.

"Yes?" he murmured, moving away from Bel's lips to trail kisses down to his throat, the question partly in case Bel was actually trying to say something and partly just to tease.

[retire]

His hands dropped lower until he could push them both under Levi's shirt in a move to reach more skin. Bel's fingers slid against his abdomen, gently pushing upward before dragging back down toward the waist of his pants, fingertips slipping under it as he tilted his head back at the feeling of those kisses along his throat.

The question was met with a quiet exhale, a pleased sort of sound that accompanied the movement of lips against his skin. "I want you."

[sea_green]

"I want you, too," he replied, lips brushing against the skin of Bel's neck with every word, his tone breathless and the tiniest bit needy and just beneath the surface there was a tenderness to it that he didn't even quite notice himself.

He bit down, just above the other demon's collarbone, harder than he might do with a human but not too hard, his aim was to mark, not to harm.

[retire]

Levi's words were already enough to get to him, but coupled with the bite that followed made it impossible for Bel to avoid reacting, a loud moan slipping from his lips. The bite was the perfect mix of pleasure and slight pain, the sort of thing that left him wanting more rather than wanting things to stop.

That was what led Bel to pull back slightly after it, his hands leaving Levi just long enough to drag his own shirt off over his head. Then he was pressing closer again, hands pushing at Levi's shirt to slide it upward with the intention of getting rid of it as well.

[sea_green]

Honestly, this was the most activity Levi thought he might have seen from Bel in a long time, he remembered he used to wonder if Bel even bothered joining in when he visited Asmodeus or if he just let the other prince get on with it.

The thought of the two of them sent another hot surge of jealousy through him and he grabbed at his shirt, helping Bel to lift it off before throwing it aside and drawing the other demon closer desperately, returning his mouth to Bel's collarbone to ensure he was definitely going to leave a mark. His hands roamed across Bel's back, nails digging in a little in his urgency.

[retire]

Typically, Bel let Asmodeus do what he wanted until he finally found himself in the mood to take part. It took far longer for Asmodeus to warm him up to the act than this had taken.

The move of action from Levi was surprising, though it was clearly driven by some kind of want to claim him. Bel felt that much in the way teeth sunk into his collarbone and fingernails dug into his back, the combination drawing a gasp from him. His hips rocked forward in response, pressing into Levi's as he pushed one hand into his hair, urging on the mark that was being left on his skin.
