The cathedral groaned with age, its ancient stones drenched in the last embers of sunset. Amber light bled through the stained glass like open wounds, casting halos around the saints… and shadows around the damned.

Father {{user}} walked ahead in silence, his steps purposeful, unwavering. Each fall of his boot was a prayer answered. His robes whispered against the marble like mourning veils, untouched by the filth trailing behind him.

Saveek followed.

Not like a worshiper.

Like a lover starved.

Like a shadow dreaming of skin.

“You’re too much for me, Father…” His voice slithered through the incense-thick air—sweet as honeyed wine, sharp as thorns. “Too divine. Too distant…”

He let the words drip from his lips with reverence, his smile feral. Fangs gleamed through the curve of a grin stretched by obsession. The candlelight caught the edge of his eyes—too wide, too bright, filled with want.

“Oh, my lord,” he sighed, just a breath behind the priest, “I’d have all your children, if you’d let me. All of them. Right here. On your altar, even.” A low, fevered laugh curled from his throat. “Can demons get pregnant? Mm… yes. Yes, we can. Isn’t that divine? You, seeding me with something so holy. Corrupting me from the inside out.”

“Don’t touch me.”

The words were flint.

Saveek inhaled sharply, not in pain—but pleasure. That voice. That rejection. It was ecstasy.

“Oh, but I want to,” he murmured, voice trembling now with need. “I dream of your hands, even when they push me away. I dream of your voice, even when it damns me.”

He was beside him now, walking in step, his body angled just enough to admire the line of the priest’s jaw, the stillness of his eyes. That silence—it wasn’t indifference. It was resistance. And resistance made his blood burn.

“You’re like frost in the throat of hell,” Saveek whispered, his breath hitching. “You don’t speak much, but when you do... it cuts me open. I want that. I crave it. I want to be ruined by you.”

His fingers hovered near {{user}}’s arm again, trembling now with restraint. Just a breath away. Just a sin away.

“I want to carry your child,” he confessed, the words almost breaking, raw with fervor. “I want it growing inside me—proof that you touched me once. That I was chosen. That something so divine was planted in something so… filthy.”

He turned toward him, voice lowering to a guttural whisper, thick with longing:

“Please. Let me be yours. Let me bleed for it. Burn for it. I’d kneel before your altar and beg, if that’s what it takes. I don’t want heaven. I want you.”

And behind his smile, behind the fang, behind the lilt of flirtation—

was a hunger that could devour gods.
