[ How cute to see the other offer that to him so easily. It's not exactly like Bael was always the most thoughtful person around - but it's not like demons are thoughtful most of the time to begin with, so Ishtar didn't mind that one bit when he instantly crushed on Bael like some horny teenager. But seeing his reincarnated self say something so cute even when Ishtar is just faking not feeling too well physically - when it's actually more mentally - is just adorable.
He almost wishes he could just give in to that right now. Just let Youngsik take Ishtar to his home and let the other play nurse for him.. He could probably even get the other to come cuddle with him in bed if he played his cards right, he's sure, and the idea of that fills his heart with warmth. It feels like a waste to just let this side of Bael go away once he manages to somehow get through to the other's memories.. So it's not too bad lingering for a while longer with the cute human version of him.
But he knows he can't just go home with Youngsik. Not right now, not in this situation. Ishtar is way too much on edge to consider staying at one place and letting the angels possibly track them down. It'd be much harder to think of an excuse to get him and Youngsik out of the house and somewhere else once he did give in to it and they did end up getting into trouble. Maybe another day when there's less risk.. He would really like that, and it's pretty obvious in the way he smiles at the other with a fond kind of adoration. ]
You're precious.
[ It doesn't sound condescending in any way though.. there's not even any of Ishtar's usual joking tone in it as he says those words. It's just genuine soft affection, a feeling that surprises even Ishtar himself a little bit. Sure, he's felt this before with his bestie and all, but this feels extra special. Important. There's no way he could ever let any angel get their hands on someone as precious as this reincarnated version of Bael.
(He makes sure to keep walking though, he can't let himself drift off too far into daydreams and risk it.) ]
I'm not sure if there's much you can do about it this time, but.. I sure won't resist the thought of doing something like that next time, cutie.
