(Dante shakes his head.)

Might not have noticed, but I don't put myself on a pedestal like that; I'll let my brother have that kind of ego. Meanwhile, I'm happy to keep around anyone who can tolerate my dumb ass. You seen who comes to the office? Everyone there's some kind of fuckup...except Octavia. She's great. No one there's perfect, least of all me. I just know what it can do, having people around who accept you and your flaws...when you're used to having no one.

(The embrace with Angel tightens, pulling the spider into a hug.)

Or losing people you trusted...

[itsytitsyspider]

Oh no, I've seen your bunch. I fuck up everything I touch. You all don't need me coming in to make things worse. I know what kind of annoying asshole I am and I don't like me either.

[Fuck, he couldn't help letting out a long sigh as he leans in to the embrace o rest his head on Dante.]

Yeah... that's tough. I can count the number of people who are close to me on one hand. And I got three fingers.

(After all the self disparaging, Dante gently presses a finger to Angel's lips.)

In my experience, other people liking you more than you like yourself's common. Cut yourself a break; there's a reason people like being with you.

[Angel's lips pout into the finger as his brows stitched together. It let it linger there was a moment before he bats it away with a free hand.]

Who are these people you speak of? I would like to meet them cause you're so full of shit.

(It takes more than what he's had so far to get Dante drunk. Instead, it's emotions that are being the pain in the ass and guiding his actions. With the finger swatted away, his hand instead holds the back of Angel's head.)

I'll show you.

(With little hesitation, the demon moves in for a heated, breathy kiss. The heating's a bit literal with his form, but nothing Angel can't handle. An extra element to it, much like the deep rumbling growls coming from the half-demon.)

[Now Angel has kissed a lot of strange and bizarre things in his line of work but this definitely took the cake. It took his brain a moment to processes what was happening, shocked that King of the Boy scouts had made the first move. Though... it wasn't wholly unwelcomed. Once his mind caught up to the current situation, Angel shifted on the log to get into a better position to return the kiss. Switching the bottle of wine to his secondary set of hands, he raised his primary ones to cup the half-blood's face, teasing the waters on how face he was willing to go.]

(Even with Dante in his devil form, Angel still has the advantage of height, the half demon tilting his head upwards to share in the kiss. It hardly slows him down; if anything, it's a nudge for him to continue this bold streak he's on. An arm wrapping around the spider, another swooping up his legs to fully hold him in Dante's arms, to reposition him onto Dante's lap, all of it driven by a need for passion sparked by that kiss.)
