(Death's Pov)
I ran over to the front steps of the school where Angel was standing yet there was no sign of Gamer anywhere near her "Angel!" I yelled as I ran over to her. She flinched a bit "D-Death, wait-" "Where's Gamer?" I asked her as I looked around at the crowd of people here for the open day "He's safe, I promise you-" "I need to talk to him, it's important" I told her as I continued to look around for Gamer "Of course, but there's something I need to tell you before-" I looked over at the front door of the school and froze. Absolute anger crawled onto my face "You've got to be fucking kidding me" I muttered "Wait, Death-" I ignored Angel as I walked over to the two demons who just walked out through the doors. Ares rolled his eyes as soon as he saw me "Here we go-" "Death, calm down" Gamer told me, standing in front of Ares as if to protect him "I'll calm down when this fucking rich-ass pig fucks off back to Hell" I spat, mostly in Ares' direction "Says the ripper with horrid anger and trust issues and a realm head-count over a hundred" Ares calmly said back. "Ares- you're not exactly helping yourself-" "No Gamer, let the overly privileged dick say his worse" I interrupted the fallen in a daring tone as a few people looked over at us. I glared as Ares as he smirked back at me "You want me to say my worse?" Ares laughed a bit "What about this? the one thing you desire- what you so desperately want... doesn't even want you back" Ares quietly spat with a smirk, only us two and Angel and Gamer able to hear what he actually said. "Oh- you're fucking dead-" I went to throw a punch at Ares yet Gamer grabbed me by the ear and pulled my away from the fucking asshole "Game-" "Shut your bloody mouth" he quietly snapped before looking up at Ares "Guess our day has ended early, sorry about-" "It's fine, we'll talk later" Ares smiled. "Right" Gamer then shadow-walked us into the hallway of our class's dorm house, he then dragged me into his and Anti's room before closing the door and slamming me into it.

"Fuck" I hissed a bit before looking at Gamer, seeing the disgust and anger on his face "What the fuck was that?" he harshly questioned "I-" "Look, I know you fucking hate Ares' guts but it doesn't give you the bloody right to spit venom at him IN FRONT OF VISITORS on open day- you fucking made an embarrassment of yourself and the school" Gamer snapped before moving a few steps away from me. The words just slipped out of my mouth "Maybe I would've not lost my shit if you told me you were friends with that annoying asshole-" "Seriously?!" ...those were the wrong fucking words "Do you really expect me to tell you every signal fucking detail of my social life? who is and isn't my friend- just because you hate someone doesn't mean that I also have to fucking hate them" Gamer snapped. "I know how you feel around every single fucking person, including me- I fucking hate knowing so fucking little about you!" ...hate, is that really how he feels right now? I mean, by the look on his face, that's what it seems but his eyes, it felt like they were trying to beg for trust, trust I told him he had yet failed to give him... he's right to be mad right now. "But if you really must know, I met Ares last year on the first night of 'Welcome Home' week" he told me as I looked down "Yes he tried to flirt and hit on me, but I fucking ignored it-" "You don't know that" I said "You shouldn't so easily believe the crap that comes out of his mouth-" "Because he has some 'hypnotic' power, yeah, I already fucking know" Gamer interrupted. "I have the same fucking power as well" he reminded me "And having the same power actually makes me immune to his abilities" Gamer then folded his arms "But you don't think I'm a fucking rich-ass pig or overly privileged dick, do you?" he questioned as I kept my head low "Didn't think so". "What is that suppose to mean-" I froze as I lifted my head, seeing Gamer glare at me... his eye glowing red "I know how you feel about me- when you're around me, I can feel your emotions towards me" he stated- that's right... he has emotion-based powers... like an empath.

During our years in Hell, I found out Gamer could actually heal people... it was an 'angel trait' that actually stuck with him yet there was a 'catch' with it. Gamer could only heal as much depending on his feelings or emotion towards the person he was trying to heal. Last year, me and Leo figured out that during Gamer's 'dazes', whatever emotion he felt was sort of projected a bit onto whoever is close to him... also last year, he mentally forced literal pain onto Haruka only because she was gonna kill me. I never actually thought that it would lead to a combination of that and his mind powers.

"I'm sorry... for how I acted earlier" I hesitantly apologize, only earning silence in return. A minute later, I heard a sign "Look, I know you have your 'reasons' for keeping crap to yourself" Gamer started as I lifted my head up a bit more "But I do need you to trust me like we promised... and I need you to know that I am here... for you" he told me, the anger in his voice and on his face slowly fading. "I know and... I'll try" I assured him... I'm such a fucking idiot. Not capable of calming down myself from my own anger, but an angel I've so easily fell for can do it within minutes. I laughed a bit, catching Gamer's attention "What's so funny?" he questioned "By myself or with anyone else, it would take me hours to calm down from my stupid rage... yet you... you're the only person who can do it so easily" I looked at the ground, smiling a bit "Really? I'm the only one?" he questioned as I nodded my head. "Shame I can't say the same about you, you just annoy me real easy" Gamer said, making me laugh a bit more "I rather be called annoying than be hated" I said "I don't hate you-" "You don't love me either" I reminded him "And that's how you'll always feel about me-" "Why do I let you, then?" I froze at the riddled and confusing question. "What?" I asked, head immediately snapping up and looking over at Gamer as I felt the tiniest flicker of hope "Why do I let you kiss me?" he asked "U-uh..." "And that night back in Hell, why would I say any of that crap to you?" "If you want me to be yours..." he started as I looked up at him "You're gonna have to earn me... just like everyone else" he told me as I struggled to hold back a smirk. Yet I sort of froze up as he raised a hand and caressed the left side of my face... Gamer looked at me in the eyes "You wanna know a secret? well I've got one for you..." he moved his hand under my chin, tracing my lips with his thumb "I'm cheering for the pretty fool"... that night he left the room without explaining himself. But now "That... was you giving me a chance?" I questioned as Gamer rolled his eyes "You really are a dumbass" he signed "The deal is back on" he told me.

"Okay, well..." I gently grabbed his wrist and pulled him over to me, catching him off-guard a bit as my back laid flat against the door and my arms wrapped around his waist as I held him close "I want to know something... can you feel my emotion right now?" I quietly asked. Gamer hesitated for a second before his eyes burned bright green as he looked into my eyes "...I-I" he stopped himself as he lowered his head, eyes still glowing green. "I want you to know that how I feel right now... would never change, no matter what I quietly told him as I felt him hug me tightly.

(No One's Pov)
Ares signed as he sat on the veranda of the 1C ego class dorm house, out of the corner of his eye he could see the scene through the window of Anti and Gamer's room of Gamer and Death hugging "Just friends, huh?" he quietly muttered under his breath as Lali walked out onto the veranda "Sorry about making Gamer lie to you-" "Your teacher didn't want to risk losing you girls to a killen attack". Ares looked up at Lali "It's alright, I understand why the lie was made" he smiled a bit before it turned back to its pained frown "I just wish you didn't try hooking me up with him" he said as Lali's eyes widened a bit. "Oh god- Ares... I'm sorry- I wasn't thinking-" "It's fine, Lali" Ares assured her with a fake happy smile "I'm alright, I've still got eternity to find someone" he told her "And it's obvious, nothing is coming in-between those two-" "Well it's not like they're actually 'together' or dating, they just have this deal between them-" Lali immediately stopped herself as Ares raised a brow "What deal?".

6pm
The boys of 1A sat in the living room, sitting around Death's old broken radio. The ripper demon himself had his left hand glowing crimson red as he had in on the radio whilst Alex was turning the dial, trying to find a station that actually worked "Why do you still have this old thing?" Chase questioned Death "It's dead broken-" "It's my radio and I actually love it" Death snapped, glaring at Chase out of the corner of his eye. Leo signed, bored until he glanced at Noah "So... heard from Isra and Skyler that you actually met Alex's dad today" Leo smirked as Noah stiffened "How'd that go?" Leo asked as Noah started stuttering. 
..."Hey dad" Alex nervously smiled as he walked over to his father with Noah carefully following him. Alex's father looked somewhat like him yet was big, tall, well fit and down right intimidating as he stood by the school hall's door with his arms crossed. "Your mother couldn't make it, she had a meeting with an archangel that she couldn't re-schedule" the father told his son before raising a brow once noticing Noah "This one of your friends?" Alex's father asked "Uh... kind of-" "I'm Dylan Techs" Alex's father said, interrupting his son as he held out his hand to Noah, waiting for the teen to shake it. "Uh-" "Dad..." Dylan turned his head to Alex, pulling his hand away "Yes?" he answered whilst Alex took a deep breath "This is Noah Gardner, my..." Alex almost lost his words until Noah held his hand tightly giving him a small smile despite his own nervousness. "My boyfriend" Alex told his father, Dylan then glared at Noah "Seriously?" Dylan questioned as Noah hesitantly nodded his head "Yes sir" Noah answered before Dylan turned his gaze back to his son. "Didn't I raise you better than this?" Dylan questioned his son, Alex glared at him...
"And then what happen?" Dark asked, leaning over the back of the couch "Alex full-on went off at his father!" Noah said as Alex tired to hide a smirk "It was bloody scary as hell-" "We got a station!" Death said with a little hope as Gamer got off the couch "And I'm heading to my room-" "-killen soldier"... everyone froze at the only two words spoken from the radio, unable to make out what to think of this.

-Killen Base-

Haruka laid on the bottom bunk of the small room she shared with three other killens, throwing an old tennis ball at the wall and catching it as it bounced back. Cyprise walked into the room, taking off an told puke-green hoodie and throwing it onto the top bunk across from Haruka's bunk "The fuck were you?" Haruka asked, no longer throwing the ball whilst turning her head to Cyprise "Failed supply run" Cyprise answered "Well that's the first" Haruka rolled her eyes before starting to throw and catch the ball again. "How did you fuck it up?" "I'm saving that explanation for John" Cyprise said walking out the door "Good luck with that".

John sat in the command room, still sorting out the files from the old Darkbrooke base. John signed "Forgot we had a shit organisation method at that base" he muttered as someone knocked on the door "Yes?" he answered, a second later, Cyprise walked into the command room, being sure to close the door behind herself. "I'm back from the mission, sir" "How did your first solo mission go?" John asked Cyprise as he closed a file, moved it to the side and opened a new one "Just as you planned" Cyprise answered "The fallen is now aware of the 'shadling' and I've managed to talk to him... he's agreed to follow your plan" John turned his head to Cyprise "And the others?". "Believe I failed the supply mission" Cyprise answered as John smirked "Good, make sure it stays that way" he said "Satan forbid them knowing that your 'supply runs' are actually solo missions to Rieannie".

Lev held is breath as he stood on the otherside of the door of the command room... he had heard every single word. 'This is bad- far worse than Naila assumed' Lev thought to himself yet one thing bothered him... who is this person who's gonna help these two with the plan- what even is this plan?
