Kaden shook his head and smiled, although only replied when he mentioned staying a little longer. “I don’t mind that at all.” he sighed, leaning his head back against the wall and letting himself relax. After a few minutes, Kaden peeked his light red eyes opened, noticing Deiru’s breathing was slower and his body so calm.
Looking at him a bit more closely, Kaden smiled and just admired him for a moment. He looked…so perfect when he slept, no signs of anger or deviousness, it was a nice difference. Allowing them to stay in for a little while longer, Kaden reached back to unplug the bath, letting the water drain and slowly, as carefully as he could, he picked Deiru up and stood, managing to grab a towel on the way and put the young demon on the bed.
Covering Deiru up with the towel, and then placing a blanket overtop of that, Kaden dried himself as much as possible before going beside Deiru and laying down. The room wasn’t very warm, and after being wet and leaving such a warm bath, Kaden felt himself shiver. Wrapping both of his arms around Deiru’s body, the older demon pressed his head up against Deiru’s neck, closing his eyes and taking a little while to finally sleep as well.
