Summary
Damian Desmond was what many would consider to be the embodiment of perfection, his heritage from his maternal grandmother traced all the way back to an aristocratic house of nobles that claimed to be descendants of a goddess, while his father belonged to one of Ostania's oldest and most influential families.
But unfortunately that didn't help him deal with his crush on Anya Forger, the girl was like a natural disaster, a force of nature, almost completely untouchable by what ever he'd attempt.
Their rivalry was all about scores. Who won? Who lost? But even with how chaotic their friendship (the he denied) was deep down, he cherished it.
But then everything changed in a single night of reckless passion.

The flock just keeps growing. I can care for it on a large scale, but it's more feasible to stay on top of things on a more, I guess… relational level if there's more than just one person at the head," they explain with a nod, seeming satisfied with themself. And oddly, it's their forthright manner here that's throwing him off guard, more than anything.
Through the crown, he had listened in on their sermons. They were a talented preacher, sometimes fearsome and sometimes loving, always grandiose. He'd drunk deep of the devotion their fervor inspired, and of their own fidelity to the gospel in their hand, penned carefully in his name. Their own worship.
And now, they spoke to him as if they were haggling with one of the vendors on the outskirts. Like that poorly disguised cannibal who sold them fish.
"So, I think it'd be a logical course of action if we just get married, and lead together," they finish, nodding again.-
Every time the Lamb proposes, ect.

Summary
If you have ever live fed a snake, you know this will happen sometimes.
Sometimes, the snake just won't eat the mouse.
They'll eat OTHER mice no problem. Just not this one. You can't even ask them why. This one is just different, apparently.
