(No One's Pov)
Michael stood in front of Gamer, continuing to smile as Gamer looked up at him, absolutely speechless with wide eyes "It's time to go home, my dear angel" Michael smiled, still holding out his right hand, waiting for the fallen to take it- Gamer slapped the archangel's hand away, anger burning within the fallen's eyes as he glared at the archangel "No". Michael was a bit shocked as Gamer pushed past him "Gamer-" "I'm not going back- Hell is my home" Gamer growled, walking back into the ballroom with Michael following after him, the archangel tried to control his anger "I swear to the lord, I'll drag you to Heaven myself-" "I'm not going back!" Gamer yelled, by this point, the whole ballroom had gone silent and Michael had enough. Michael grabbed Gamer by the arm "Listen here, if you're gonna act like a child, then I'll treat you like one-" Gamer punched Michael in the jaw... everyone watched with wide and frightened eyes. Michael lost his grip, Gamer ran off before Michael had a chance to say or do anything "That brat". Death watched his friend run off as Michael spat out the blood in his mouth, the other archangels were frozen as if they had just seen the ghost of the angel they once knew. Death ran off out of the ballroom, after Gamer.
"You're lying..." Angel said as Lytrse and Aristomache attempted to calm her down "Everything will be okay, sweetheart... you just have to trust us-" "No!" both royals were taken back a bit as Angel glared at them "How can I trust the very people who've lied to me my whole life as a demon?!" the reaper snapped. "I thought you all cared about me because you felt guilty or some shit about me being placed in Hell by accident..." Angel's nails dug into her hands, to the point they were bleeding a bit "But no, as always you royals only care about the royal blood, no one else".
Gamer ran into the main foyer of the palace, running into a few of the palace guards "Councilor Shadow, you must return to the ballroom" one guard told him yet the fallen continued towards the door. Two guards stood in his way, blocking off the door "Councilor Shadow-" Gamer growled before shadow-walking out of the foyer just as Death ran into the room. Death looked over at the three guards... well more like glared at them to the point that they're no convinced that he was gonna rip them a part right then and there. "What did you three do?" Death asked "W-well, I told him-" Death's eyes glowed red as he towered the guard. "What gives you the right to talk to the Young Councilor of the Eclipse Wing the way you did?" Death questioned them "S-sorry sir-" "Never again" Death warned them before pushing pass the other two guards and out the door of the palace. 'He must've went back to Enrith Castle' Death thought to himself as he rushed down the stairs.
"Angel, please calm down-" "No" Angel snapped at Aristomache "Your mother and Grim asked us to not say a word until they had the chance to tell you themselves, but then Roxanna died during a cleansing day and-" "Ari!" the royal flinched a bit at her name "Just stop!" Angel yelled at the queen, tear-streaked face filled with absolute hate and anger. "Elizabeth..." Lytrse went to touch Angel's hand yet Angel immediately moved away from the royal "Don't touch me" Angel snapped at Lytrse before pushing past Aristomache, stepping off the grass and picks up her heels before running back into the palace.
A black car pulled up by the stairs of Enrith Castle, Death quickly got out of the driver's seat and slammed the door shut before running up the stairs and through the front door. Death rushed up the stairs to the third floor of the castle and down the hallway to Gamer's room, he hesitated for a second before lightly knocking on the door yet met with silence "Gamer? It's me... Death" there was a few seconds of silence before the fallen answered "Come in". Death walked into the room, closing the door behind himself before walking over to Gamer's bed where the fallen sat "Can I sit?" Death quietly asked, Gamer nodded his head a bit. Death sat down at the end of the bed in front of the fallen "I saw what happened with Michael... you want to talk about it?" "Honestly, no" Gamer answered Death. The fallen paused for a bit before looking up at Death "I want to try something, but... I need your help with it..." "Okay?" Death seemed a bit confused with the tone in Gamer's voice. "What do you need help with?" he asked "Making sense of something that Li told me the other day-" Death narrowed his eyes "N-nothing bad, promise... I think... hope? u-um..." "So you want help clearing up something that Li told you?" Death questioned, Gamer shyly nodded his head "Alight, what-" "I need your permission". Death looked at the fallen with worry and concern "Every time someone says that, something bad happens-" "Please, I just need to know if its okay with you" Gamer interrupted, Death hesitated for a second before signing "Sure, just tell me-" Death was forced to stop mid-sentence as Gamer grabbed his vest, pulled him close and kissed him. Gamer immediately pulled away at the realization of what he just did, letting go of Death and leaning away from the ripper. "I-I I'm so sorry-" Death pulled Gamer back over to him and kissed him, arms tightly wrapped around the fallen's waist. Gamer felt like a drowning man's air as the demon held him close.
The fallen regrettably melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Death's neck, fingers entangled in his hair. It then became too passionate. The demon had made the kiss even deeper, overloading the fallen's senses, everything burned. Eventually Death pulled away, Gamer could feel his hot breath on his face.... the fallen felt like he couldn't open his eyes, blush across his face, lips kissed red. Too many feelings happening at once, Gamer's mind was clouded.... unable to think. Light-headed and legs weak. "U-uh um-" Gamer couldn't speak, senses were all over the place "Too much?" "Y-yeah" Gamer struggled to answer, multiple things racing through his head "You alright?" Death asked as Gamer slowly opened his eyes, gaze on the demon's lips. Death slowly leaned closer to Gamer "Can I...?" Death asked, Gamer nodded his head a bit before Death reconnected their lips, a little rougher than the kiss before as he slowly pushed Gamer down onto the bed, their kiss never broken. Death leaned over Gamer, pulling him close as he made the kiss deeper.
Rochelle got out of the car, slamming the door shut as she looked over at the other vehicle "You sure that they're here?" Shyama asked, getting out of the passenger seat "According to Aristomache and Michael's new face job, be surprised if they weren't" Rochelle answered as she quickly made her way up the stairs and through the front door of the castle with Shyama following close behind. "Why bring me and not Issac or someone else-" "Lytrse and Aristomache told Angel that she's a princess, I don't think she'd want any reaper talking to her at the moment..." Rochelle answered Shyama as the two made their way upstairs to the third floor and down the hallway. Rochelle and Shyama walked into Gamer's room to be met with the sight of the two teens making out. Rochelle cleared her throat, causing Death to jump a bit and fall off the bed, and Gamer immediately sit up "You two done?" the two teens looked at the councilors, wide-eyed "C-Councilor Rochelle, councilor Shyama-" "Save it" Rochelle interrupted Gamer "You're both just lucky we're not someone else-" "Michael's trying to find Gamer, we were sent by Aristomache to find you" Shyama explained their purpose of coming to the room. "But we see that you were perfectly distracted by you're 'friend' " Rochelle crossed her arms as Death rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed and awkward "Sorry-" "Why apologize? Nothing's wrong with that at all- keep the fallen cuz he's the best you're gonna get" Rochelle said a bit harshly "Why do I keep hearing people tell me or you that?" Gamer mumbled. Shyama's eyes flashed white for a quick second before turning Rochelle "Michael's here" "Alright" Rochelle looked back at the two teens "Gamer, shadow-walk both of you downstairs" Rochelle told him "Why down-" "Go". Gamer quickly grabbed Death's wrist and shadow-walked, just a second before Michael opened the door. Michael glared at the two councilors, seeing no sign of the fallen angel he was looking for "Where is he?" "No clue" Rochelle snapped back.
Gamer had shadow-walked both him and Death downstairs to the kitchen "That was close" Death whispered as him and Gamer crouched behind the island in the middle of the kitchen "I do get why she told us to go downstairs" Gamer whispered "Probably because he would've checked all the other rooms before leaving" Death answered before looking down at his wrist. "Gamer... you can let go now" Death told him as the fallen immediately let go of his friend's wrist "Sorry..." Gamer apologized, faint traces of pink still dusted on his face "When do you think we can go back up?" Gamer asked, trying to change the topic "Well, judging by the faint arguing... not a while".
Angel walked through the front door of Enrith Castle, then made her way upstairs to the third floor, then down the hallway before walking into Michael "Watch it" Angel snapped as the archangel glared at her "Excuse me, young lady-" "Cut the crap, Michael" Angel interrupted him "Gamer is better off without you and Heaven, so just leave him the fuck alone" she snapped. "How dare you talk to me like that-" "Like you deserve any fucking respect" Angel snapped at Michael, surprising him a little "Who cares if you're an archangel, it doesn't mean shit to anyone, people only show you 'respect' because they're 'scared' of you, you're just a liar who spreads fear". Angel couldn't control what she was saying, the absolute truth just spilled out of her mouth "After everthing that you've done to Gamer... you don't even deserve his forgiveness" she hissed, pushing past Michael and headed towards her room as Michael stood there. He was mad, yes but... he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart with Azrael's blade... with the cold truth that he didn't want to hear, not again.
