He runs, without aim, without destination. Just trying to outrun himself, his thoughts. Guards left far behind in his initial dash, he just goes. It’s dark outside, but it does little to slow him.

Slender, strong fingers sink further into his hair as he rolls over on top of Wolfram, holding his weight up off the boy with his arms braced on either side of shoulders that are beginning to bare the impressions of his fingers. The abused areas of Wolfram’s neck are also turning a dusky purple and their skin is starting to stick together in places. The kindest thing would be to get up now and tend to the cleanup before the aches set into the young demon’s body, but the Maou is loath to leave the warmth of them. Comfortably still within the prince’s arms, his gaze grows fond as he looks Wolfram over, the gently sated smile and the peaceful green eyes, and for a moment it is Yuuri who looks softly out of the eyes of this form that is not quite his, and yet completely his ( ... )
