I did get food poisoning later.

[superstylishsquid]

And I'm pretty sure even a half-demon's stomach can handle worse than a normal human's.

[carvemyname]

[ Dante just laughs in embarrassment, shaking his head. ]

I've made many food mistakes!

[superstylishsquid]

I get the feeling I don't even wanna know. And I'm the guy who dragged a demon into an alleyway to eat it just a couple days ago.

[carvemyname]

...what do they even taste like to you?

[ Dante wrinkles his nose. ]

Can't be how they taste to me because that's like literal shit.

[superstylishsquid]

Definitely not like that, no. Not as good as properly cooked and seasoned meat, but definitely still savory. It's not bad, and really better for me than week-dead cow with all the blood already drained out.

[carvemyname]

Vergil tried cooking it to make it taste better... it just tasted like broiled shit instead.

...But neither of us knows how to cook.

[superstylishsquid]

You probably take after your human side in terms of palate, then, especially if the smell of blood doesn't make your mouth water.

I could do some proper butchering next time I take something down and bring part of it back to cook up, but it seems like a lot of effort to just bring it up to 'tolerable' for you.

[carvemyname]

I get the urge to draw blood, especially during sex, but I ignore it.

Don't worry about the butchering, unless you want to cook it for yourself.

[superstylishsquid]

You know I don't mind a few scratches any more than you do, right? Just gotta make sure we don't lose any blood crystals in the sheets, I don't think lying on even a small Red Orb would be comfortable.

[He presses a kiss to Dante's lips.]

And it's better cooked, but better for me if it's still fresh and bloody. Cleaning up the mess of hauling bloody meat into the kitchen just isn't worth it.

[carvemyname]

Yeah, but I'm afraid once I start I won't stop. Maybe my demon side still spooks me.

[ He returns the kiss, lingering a little. ]

The bloodier the better, huh?

[superstylishsquid]

I can hold my own against you in a duel, remember? And before you say that was without using your demon form, I'll remind you that I still have my own super form I didn't have access to that time. I can deal with it if you get a bit carried away.

And I do understand the temptation. 'The bloodier the better' is exactly right, blood is the most important part of a meal for a demon. When I get a taste of it, I do have to consciously pace myself if it's from a living donor.

[carvemyname]

You know you can still drink my blood too, right? I can handle losing more than most.

I guess you're right that you can handle me at my worst, too.

[superstylishsquid]

Oh, I know. Yours is even better than human blood, too...I just don't see a point in leaning entirely on you when I keep ending up with demon corpses I need to dispose of anyway.

[carvemyname]

I admit I kinda get into it when you drink my blood. Is that weird?

[superstylishsquid]

I think the term you're looking for is 'kinky'. And I think you'd kinda have to be, to sleep with a guy whose eyes double as nightlights.

[carvemyname]

Hey, don't put down your eyes. I like your eyes.

[ Dante gives him a disapproving look. ]

[superstylishsquid]

You're in the minority there...

[His eyes briefly flicker, before returning to their usual brightness.]

It's my feature fewest humans tend to not find creepy, let alone actually appealing.

[carvemyname]

I don't see how it's creepy.

[ He touches Alastor's cheek with his hand. ]

I've never thought of it that way at all.

And you can't convince me it is, either, so don't even try.

[superstylishsquid]

You don't exactly have human sensibilities.

[He covers that hand with his own. His claws are extended, razor sharp nails resting against Dante's skin.]

And I don't keep company with many demons, these days.

[carvemyname]

Be careful extending those claws, you might get me interested.

[ Dante's voice is light as he says that. ]

I don't think anyone here thinks it's creepy? Nobody's said anything to me, anyway.

Vergil has even less human sensibilities than I do, though.

[superstylishsquid]

And I think you've had enough excitement for today.

[He squeezes Dante's hand, retracting his claws just enough to avoid scratching him.]

Everyone around here is willing to deal with your idea of home decor. Something tells me any human visitors you get are outliers when it comes to this.

[carvemyname]

[ Dante pouts, but doesn't object any further than that. Really, he is tired and it's obvious. ]

How do Joe and Silvia feel?

[superstylishsquid]

They haven't seen me without my helmet in this form, but they do have a robot friend with similar eyes. Hers are just blue instead.

[carvemyname]

Robot?

There's a robot?
