As Matt's fingers carefully glide over his features, he's still. Trying to stay as calm as he could possibly be but judging by the way the Devil reacted to his own gentle touches, he doesn't expect the asset to actually hurt him in this instance which is a relief of its own.
Derek knows he still shouldn't let his guard down but there really was no proper way to defend himself now if the Devil wanted to escalate things for whatever reason. "Has anyone allowed you to do this before now?" He asks as he lets the asset take his time to familiarize himself with his features.
He can't imagine anyone has, be it because of protocol or for their own personal safety, he understands why though. This spike of a deeply hidden fear that comes with such a need for trust.
The medic is quiet for a moment before he softly chimes in again, "I want you to put your trust in me. If we're to work as a unit, I need more than you to simply follow orders."
