"It's safe to assume you're not meddling in my organization's business nor wish to interfere with them, King of Earth"
Lucifer was always polite, even towards his enemies, and would rather take a more politically correct approach to conflicts than to make more enemies than he calculated to make. It was clear by the way that Amaimon stopped in his steps that he immediately recognized the voice of his oldest and most powerful sibling.
The lump that traveled down his throat almost made him choke as he realized he might have screwed up big time and some self preservation instinct kicked in, causing him to lower his ears and attempt to appear as submissive and pitiful as possible, even in the complete darkness. Although the breach in their power was a laughable one meaning that Amaimon had not the slightest chance against his brother, Lucifer could be destruction incarnate if for some reason he got mad; and for once wise, the King of Earth wouldn't push that.
"Brother of mine" he said, and the green orbs that shun bright like stars appeared in the complete darkness of the room, seconds before the lights were turned on, illuminating the whole place; to Amaimon's momentary relief.
An uncomfortable extended silence filled the room; Amaimon barely glanced around, still unsure about how to behave in front of his brother and uncomfortable by the tension that was building up; although he was sure that Lucifer wouldn't murder him he wasn't sure about not being severely punished. In the hopes to appear even more defenseless and earn his brother's favor, his tail uncoiled from around his body, revealing itself and barely swaying from side to side; Lucifer didn't cast his gaze away and Amaimon could feel it literally piercing him; it was such an odd sensation, and right in that moment he was merely hoping to not to get disintegrated or bled out for being so reckless.
"Hmm.." was the sound that Lucifer let out at the sight of Amaimon's tail, noticing, as if it was not already obvious by the younger one's previous display, that Amaimon was scared out of his ass. And not only that; of course Lucifer was also able to notice the other predicament his brother was in; one that was at least beyond his control, unlike this one. The older of the two flicked his tail in a silent response to his brother, and cast his gaze aside, attempting to dissipate the tension between the two. Of course Amaimon noticed it, and was silently thankful, letting out a low sigh, and allowing his back muscles to relax and his eyes to study his surroundings a bit more in depth, taking immediate notice of the strange machinery at the head of his brother's bed. He's heard from Samael, that Lucifer's vessel was barely able to handle him and he depended on life support to be able to exist in Assiah; but Amaimon had no actual idea about what that meant until now that he saw his brother's naked body sitting in bed, plugged to the IV lines that pumped neon green serum into his bloodstream.
Although frail, Lucifer's vessel still looked incredibly fit, and Amaimon would've been unable to even imagine he was going through such a hardship only in order to stay here.
"I can imagine what you were after in the forest, I can smell it" Lucifer said, calmly and in a soft monotone, his voice almost as enticing as his essence when Amaimon first walked in, oblivious to his identity. Able to tell exactly what his older brother was speaking about he swallowed hard, feeling a tingle in his stomach. Amaimon was unsure of what to even say, unsure about speaking at all, and just kept his head and ears low, timidly and submissively looking up at his brother as this one spoke.
"I can also tell who you've been engaging with"
Oh fuck, if Amaimon was embarrassed before now he felt the burning heat of one thousand suns washing over him; Lucifer's senses were even more keen than he would've been imagined in order to be able to tell he had been mating with Samael prior to arriving here. Now that was embarrassing; the King of Earth felt his ears burn, his tail flicked unconsciously with mild irritation and to his surprise his mouth spoke before he was able to think if that was a good idea or not.
"He kicked me out, because he had too much work to take care of, and wouldn't have time to do it with me any longer. It's... very uncomfortable, brother..."
"I understand"
"I spent the whole day trying to have fun to forget about it, but it's stronger than me!"
"The thought of you stumbling upon this place just by mere coincidence instead of you willingly attempting to harm, or harming commanded by our brother crossed my mind, Amaimon" Lucifer seemed to cut it short there, although it looked like he had so much more to say; but something stopped him; his blond lion like tail flicked in a more noticeable way than before, almost impatiently. Amaimon noticed this, and unsure about what was bothering the King of Light he only managed to stutter, words faltering him.
"It must be a beautiful thing to have a vessel that allows you to partake in all the activities this world has to offer" The blond demon suddenly resumed speaking, exhaling, to distract himself from his brother's musky scent that had just invaded the room; his chin held high now, his voice clear and convinced. "I can't allow myself to think selfishly when is it my duty to bring Father to Assiah; therefore I'm confined to my base of operations and the serum my scientific team has developed to keep me alive here until I accomplish my goal. Although this new formula has greatly improved the amount of energy and time I can spend unplugged it's not enough to enjoy the beauty of this world, like you or Samael can."
That was surely a lot of talking for someone as calm as Lucifer, and for once in his life Amaimon attempted to pay attention; staring at his brother's face as he spoke now, his deadpan expression back in his features, ears still low, tail still slightly flicking behind him.
Lucifer was still able to perceive the tension, and to let his brother know he wasn't going to murder him, signaled him to approach with his hand. His black claws, not as long as Amaimon's but equally deadly, contrasted with his extremely pale skin, even paler than Amaimon's, almost bright even.
With unsure steps, Amaimon walked forward, coming next to his brother's bed, and sitting on it after the oldest of the two indicated him that it was okay to do so with a nod of his head.
He had never been too close to Lucifer before, and this other's aura was overwhelming; far more powerful than Samael's and almost impossible to bear for Amaimon; he shivered, and his tail coiled around his waist in an unconscious gesture. Taking his brother's tension into consideration once more, Lucifer's arm extended towards him as the demon himself inched closer to be more comfortable, his palm caressing Amaimon's cold tail soothingly; the green haired demon sighed and relaxed instantly, his sensitive appendage reacting to his brother's touch, and uncoiling from his owner's waist to rest on the bed. Lucifer kept touching in a way he hoped would help Amaimon relax, taking the fact that the other was in heat into consideration, not wanting to actually arouse his brother's state any further; but for Amaimon, the strong masculine scent of his brother was almost impossible to deal with in the close position he was in. Such a strong, capable demon, even in his weakened state; the King of Earth wouldn't forget Lucifer was the strongest of all of them, only overpowered by their Father himself. The youngest one managed to get rid of his boots before he shifted in bed to face his brother completely, allowing him to keep the touch in his tail, enjoying it greatly, and managing to get his cold appendage to brush against his brother's furry one as if greeting him in a more intimate way.
It was a known fact that touching a demon's tail was a thing reserved only for family, lovers or very close friends; tails being extremely sensitive, and one of the demon's weak points; having just anyone touching it was taboo; yet here they were, in a very strange exchange of touches Amaimon wasn't expecting. Denying his oldest brother the possibility of touching his tail could possibly be taken as an insult or act of rebellion, and we all know the King of Earth didn't really have such a strong death wish; but as this progressed, with no intentions of stopping any time soon, the scent of Lucifer permeating Amaimon's nose, the soothing touching contrasting with the altered estate he was in and the overall intimacy of the situation only managed to entice him further, and his hand timidly reached to get a hold of Lucifer's tail, hoping he'd take it as a return of his own gesture and allow the youngest of the two to leave once this was over.
But the tail coiled around Amaimon's arm as he rubbed it between his finger pads with caution, and he swallowed hard, attempting to remain centered, but feeling drowsy with heat and arousal. "Brother..." he thought, as he couldn't help but fantasize with the most powerful of demons after his Father. If Amaimon wanted a good match to mate then who could be better than Lucifer himself. The thoughts took over and his body reacted shivering, his tail tip whipping the bed, a slight heated gasp escaping him as his grip on Lucifer's tail tightened unconsciously.
The older demon let out a groan which surprised Amaimon, but not in an unpleasant way; and the green haired demon instantly looked up at his brother's face, surprised by the response he had just gotten from him, studying Lucifer's expression to be sure about how to interpret it.
