The one conceit of this meme: humans (or human-expies, whatever beings they may be) mate for life. With this comes the typical trappings of "mating for life" - indescribable closeness, contentment around your "destined," and, of course, in your all-too-familiar worst case, jealousy and rage should the bond be threatened.
Oh, and there's also the little caveat that, should your mate die, you die as well. But that's not too much to swallow, is it? The whole thing is only a small conceit, you know.

Philippe Black, at least in his current form, was a creature of enjoyment. It was all the limitless potential of this world, the pleasure and the power available for the taking, that sparked his betrayal against his chthonic family, leading to him becoming something essential to this world, limitless potential and nearly limitless power given form. He brought that same possibility to his home as well, in a city where the party never ended, where the liquor, blood, and magic flowed through the streets in excessive abundance.
Usually he would bring the party to the fae that he'd bound himself to. Even in their more serious moments, he wanted Davy Jones, a limitless creature with his very being woven into the fabric of this world, to enjoy himself.
Tonight though, the mood in the Black King's bedroom was far more subdued. While the party continued on in the Quarter just outside of Philippe's compound, Philippe was quiet and thoughtful.
Recent events weighed heavily on the old goat's mind. He was sure that Davy was already aware of them, but it was still something that needed to be shared. It was Philippe's mess to clean up, but they were partners, inextricably bound to one another by their own choices.
Even as he was settled comfortably in Davy's lap, feeling the fae's cock deep inside him, Philippe still seemed more thoughtful and distracted than what the occasion normally called for. He busied himself with running his fingers over Davy's body, tracing intricate patterns in ink over his lover's chest in preparation for the magic they'd decided to attempt tonight, but even that felt more like a distraction than the usual presence he brought to every moment.
"My brother escaped from the pit," He finally spoke, sighing softly because even that small statement, faintly and absently uttered, brought a small sense of relief. He was sure Davy knew all about it, but they'd never spoken about his family before, at least not the one that came before he found Davy. Philippe had been content to forget that they'd even existed, favoring his new life and identity. That wasn't an option anymore, and it might mean that Davy would have to see him for the devil that he truly was soon.
"I've agreed to let him stay on this plane... For now."
