When Damien entered the bathroom quietly, there was so much steam that he could barely see Landry in the shower, humming away. He smelled one of his woodsy soaps that the bunny demon must of already lathered on his fur. The incubus closed the bathroom door behind him quietly as he stripped his pajama pants off and threw them into the hamper. Damien attempted to think of a sexy way to approach the smaller demon without startling him in the shower.

The shower was rather large and Landry was stationed on the other side under one of the rainfall shower heads, facing away from the sliding door. Damien couldn't help but appreciate how sensual the bunny demon looked with the water trailing down his golden brown hair and light brown fur, eyes closed and still humming to an unrecognizable tune. The incubus slowly opened the sliding glass door to the shower and carefully stepped in, doing his best to not make a sound as he closed it as well.

Damien walked over stealthily to the bunny. The incubus put his hands on Landry's hips from behind and said, "Hey—" *SMACK* "Ow! Wow, you've got a great right hook..." Damien held his face in his hand under the spray of the shower, legitimately in a little pain from Landry punching his face, but not much. "Holy shit! I'm so sorry, Damien! I-I wasn't thinking, I-I won't do it again! Please, p-please, I'll be a good boy! I'll do whatever you want, just please..." The bunny went down to his knees in a submissive position, looking down at the shower floor. The incubus was more stunned and bothered at the way that Landry was apologizing than the obvious accidental punch itself.

"Whoa baby, can you go ahead and stand up for me?" The bunny demon complied so quickly that he almost slipped, which bothered Damien even more. The incubus caught Landry before he could slip and steadied him. The larger demon cupped the bunny demon's face in both his hands, noticing the way his doe eyes darted around in a panicky way. "Lan, can you take a deep breath, let it out, and look at me?" The bunny demon nodded and took a deep breath and let it out, finally looking directly into Damien's eyes. The incubus smiled. "There you are. Landry. I'm not mad. That was obviously an accident. If anything, I'm sorry that I startled you. I was trying to make a sexy entrance, but instead I got punched and gave you a panic attack." Damien couldn't help but laugh at the ludicrousness of the situation.

"You're not in pain at all?" Landry asked, still concerned. Damien shook his head. "I mean, in the moment, yeah, it hurt because I was being serious when I said you have a great right hook. We should seriously get you into combat training or something... But it doesn't hurt anymore. I don't think it'll even leave a mark. You don't need to worry about it, okay?" Damien placed a kiss on the bunny demon's head between his ears and gave him a calm, reassuring look. The smaller demon nodded and let out breath he didn't realize he was holding and wrapped his arms around Damien's body, which the incubus returned.

The bigger demon wanted to discuss Landry's panic attack, but he didn't think now was the right moment. Damien's mind was reeling with questions about what could have caused such a fight or flight reaction in the demon bunny. Sex work didn't exactly allow for healthy physical boundaries on top of what the smaller demon shared about his life in the living world. The incubus's heart ached for Landry at the thought.

"What did you and Lex talk about? I'm guessing I was the topic of conversation." The bunny's inquiry ripped the bigger demon out of his current train of thought. "Yeah, you were," Damien replied honestly, pulling back to look at the smaller demon's face. "He just wanted to make sure all is well since we're best friends and all. We look out for each other, ya know?" Landry studied him as he asked his next question.
"And is all well?" The bunny's ears were at attention now and his arms crossed since he was feeling nervous and vulnerable. "Yeah, I think so. I do think the trickiest thing for us is going to be figuring out what we are exactly to each other, considering the situation and all." The larger demon cringed internally as he watched the smaller demon's eyes squint slightly and his expression turn into a small frown. "And what "situation" would that be exactly?" Landry's voice was tight now and he did quotation marks with his fingers in the air as he said situation.

Damien knew that his next choice of words was very important. "Well, I really care about you and want to be around you as much as possible. And I want to be with only you... and... you to be with only me. That is ultimately what I want, but I understand that there are... things... currently out of our control. And I'm going to have to learn to be okay with that. At least for now." Landry studied him for a few moments, still with squinting eyes. "What things do you mean exactly? I need you to be more specific." Damien wanted to scream because it felt like he was being purposely cornered to piss the bunny demon off.

"Ya know, all the things you've shown me and talked to me about already." Damien was praying this would be enough for the bunny demon because he could feel himself getting angrier.
And his response still didn't seem to satisfy Landry. "But, what exactly? Like specific examples, Damien, please. You keep avoiding—" Damien cut him off. "Fine! If you really want to know so bad, it's your psychopath pimp and the fact that he's going to be doing all the things I want to be doing to you exclusively and it will be available for all of Hell to see at the click of a button! But I think you already knew all of that so why did you ask?!"

Damien felt like such an asshole when he watched and heard sobs come from the bunny demon. That was the only indication he was crying since the water was still streaming down their bodies. "Landry..." Damien tried to reach out to him, but the bunny demon moved swiftly to exit the shower and the incubus let him. He saw the smaller demon go into the large walk-in closet and shut the door without even drying off. "Fuck," Damien mumbled to himself as he banged his head against the glass of the shower door. I am such a fucking idiot.

Damien decided to cool off and finish taking his shower before approaching Landry. He knew the bunny demon must be cold since he didn't even grab a towel or dry off before rushing into the walk-in closet. The incubus turned off the water, dried off, and then wrapped a towel around his waist. He sighed as he grabbed a fresh towel from the linen closet and approached the door where Landry was.

Damien did a soft knock on the door, trying his best not to startle the bunny again. "Hey Lan, it's me. I have a towel for you." No response. "Landry, I know you're cold. You didn't bring a towel when you ran in there." Damien brought his ear to the door and could hear soft crying. "Just go away... please..." The demon bunny was breaking the incubus's heart. The larger demon tried to turn the door handle and was hurt to find it was surprisingly locked. And you locked it? You must have been afraid of me when I yelled at you. I am such a dick.

The incubus sighed as he slid down the door from standing to sitting. Damien decided to talk loudly through the door. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Lan. That was fucked... I just care so much about you that I think it kind of scares me sometimes. I have literally daydreamed about ripping your fucking pimp apart because of it. I just... can't... lose you. I feel like we have such an amazing connection and we just get each other, ya know? I don't think I've ever actually felt like this about anyone. Even with people I've dated for years. They don't compare to how I feel about you already. Anyway... I'll be out here if you need me, Lan. I'm not going anywhere." The door suddenly clicked and opened, causing Damien to fall back since he was leaning on it.

Landry instantly moved to get on top of the larger demon on the floor and started kissing him. Well, those seemed to be the right words. Damien broke their kiss, noting that the smaller demon was shivering and shaking as he did so. "Hey, why don't you hop back in the shower real quick? You are practically convulsing." The demon bunny reluctantly agreed and gave a surprised yelp when they moved to get off the floor and Damien lifted him bridal style. The larger demon brought him to the shower and made sure it was hot first before holding his hand to guide him in. The incubus watched the bunny from the outside of the shower until he stopped shivering.

"I'm going to get changed and then I'll be in the bedroom if you need me, okay? Go ahead and pick out something to wear from my closet when you're done. We are going out somewhere after all of that. We deserve it, don't ya think?" The demon bunny nodded and Damien was pleased to see that a cute, fanged smile was back on his face.
