And it really felt like he meant it as more than just to keep his food source safe as well. So Sam was quiet for a moment to process before he had to shake his head.

No. At most they were likely to only ever be friends. He had to be content with that. He was content with that.

Right?

The wolf smiled a little and reached to take the hand that was holding his arm. Giving it a squeeze, he looked over at the demon, tilting his head a little bit as he did so. "Thank you. That is very kind of you. I'm glad that I have you in my life, Matthias. I really would be lost without you."
