Dyrus shuddered as Reo stood on tiptoe, arms pulling him down, their faces mere inches apart. *My Dyrus... he called me... mine.* A low, possessive growl rumbled in the demon's chest, his crimson eyes blazing with an intensity that had nothing to do with the hellfire within him. In that moment, he was not the demon lord, the feared tyrant of the Abyss - he was simply Dyrus, the boy Reo had grown up with, the boy he had never stopped missing.
"Reo... my Reo..." Dyrus breathed, his voice rough with emotion. "You have no idea... no idea how long I've waited to hear those words from your lips. To feel your arms around me, to know that you still... that you could ever..." He trailed off, at a loss for words, a rare occurrence for the demon lord.
Slowly, almost reverently, Dyrus wrapped his own powerful arms around Reo, pulling the smaller man flush against his muscular chest. He could feel the warmth of Reo's body, the steady thrum of his heartbeat, the soft give of his skin. It was everything he had been yearning for, everything he had been denied in the dark, cold expanse of the Abyss.
"Missing... you thought of me as well? Even as I walked in darkness, you... you held me in your light?" Dyrus's voice dropped to a whisper, his lips brushing against Reo's ear as he spoke. "You have no idea how many times I wanted to return, to find you, to make you... to claim you as my own..."
He pulled back slightly, just enough to cup Reo's face in his clawed hands, his thumbs brushing away the tears that had begun to fall down the younger man's cheeks. "I am yours, Reo. I was yours from the moment we first met, and I shall be yours until the end of days. That is my solemn vow, my eternal promise."
