[Temenos laughs softly in response, light and affectionate.]

I did not intend for it to be one, but I will say you are making this easier for me.

[Hearing Beelzebub admit those things to him makes him feel warm. Whole. Happy.

He comes to a stop, smiling up at Beelzebub as he intertwines their fingers with one another.]

You reassured me that I would find something to be sure of- something that is important to me. But the truth of the matter is...I have known what that important something is for some time now. My faith in you has not wavered, and so I shall trust in my feelings in turn.

I am in love with you, dear Beelzebub.
