[ that's the thing though - it's all a waste of time. even if angel could get into heaven (and valentino highly fucking doubts he could), he's still bound by contract. even if he somehow found a way to redeem himself, it's not like valentino would willingly let him go. he'd fight tooth and fucking nail to keep him, to own him. but if angel wants to pretend he has even the slightest fucking chance, well. it'll be that much more satisfying when he inevitably comes crawling back to val. there is only so much slack to his leash, after all.

the light press of a palm is welcomed, a fair price to pay for valentino's kindness. he spreads his knees slightly in unspoken approval, careful not to upset the way angel's straddling his lap too much. he could argue that those people are not his fucking friends. he could argue that sure, maybe none of them want to hurt him, but they're not doing fucking anything to keep him safe from the exorcists the way valentino always has, but - angel will learn these things one way or another. if it has to be the hard way, then so be it.

valentino hums a low, thoughtful note, leaning away just enough as angel seeks something more than the ghost of a peck val left him with. teasing, almost, in the way he smiles, gold flashing in his mouth. he holds angel's jaw between his fingers, turns his face away from him so he can lick one hot stripe up the side of his throat, pausing by his ear. ]

We'll talk about it later.

[ and they will fucking talk about it. maybe not as nicely as they have now, as they have so far, but they're absolutely going to talk about this again. valentino cannot fucking stand that angel's left the tower, he cannot stand that there's next to nothing he can do about it short of locking him in his dressing room and never letting him out. he'll find a way to make angel stay, to make him want to, one way or another.

but for now, they're just two people in an expensive car. he's just a man with a pretty little thing in his lap that everyone in hell wants but could never have, not the way valentino has him. he turns angel's head back to face him, fingers careful under his chin, thumb pulling gently at the soft pillow of his bottom lip, and when he leans into kiss him, he pushes his tongue into his mouth. ]
