[ for all of it angel remains silent except for one 'hn' after the mention of makima, which doesn't seem to tell anything anyway, just a sound that's noncommittal as hell. it's only when aki asks if they're okay with it that angel moves his gaze from out ahead at the road full of nothing, back to aki. ]
No such thing as heaven for a devil.
[ even the angel devil, or especially.
they know aki was joking, in a sense, but angel is drily serious, finally just undoing the seatbelt after all, which lets them pull their legs up onto the car seat, knees an easy perch for their chin. they do let their eyes wander back to aki though, elusively thoughtful. they wonder about how laid back aki is. their first meeting comes to mind, when angel said they were surprised by aki's willing to get so close.
as partners they really don't have a choice sometimes, but still...
the light from their halo gives a diffused glow right now, not too bright and not dim either, but the encroaching dark might make it seem brighter. ]
And even if I wasn't okay with it, I don't have a choice.
[ and that's the truth. they both know it. if angel more and more doesn't mind being partnered with aki, if they do more on the job to keep him safe, it's easy to chalk it all up to work. the free ice cream or meal here and there doesn't hurt either of course.
what angel would rather not look at directly: how recently, sometimes, alone in their cell, they wonder what aki is up to. they do their best to stop thinking about it almost in the same stroke, but some times are more or less successful than others. ]
