I will!

{Grins and runs off, already sending a message to Raguel}

{Giggles and nods, giving you one more tight hug}

If he does I'll let you and dad team up. I have to go tell uncle Min! He knows.. but I swore him to secrecy. He'll be very excited!

~ so nice and funny. He sends pictures of super random things too cause he doesn't know what he's doing

{A wide smile spreads over my face and I practically tackle hug you}

Thank you papa! I promise I'll be careful. Maybe uncle Min can draw something on me that'll hide me from Heaven. Or some kind of shield.

{Looks up at you, the happiness clear}

I got him a phone, so we message each other. He's ~

~ ... together, together. But... I like him. And would like to get to know him more. To at least have the opportunity... Especially since he probably feels like he doesn't have anyone anymore..

~ the way to get to you was dad}

I am absolutely playing dirty

{Smiles up at you}

I'm sure at least a few weren't thrilled when he got involved with you. But there was more to you. And you've changed since then, because of him.

{Toes at the ground, my smile turning shy}

It's not like we're ~

{The shadows were chilling. For a second I'm sure dad is around somewhere, but don't see him. It's enough to almost make me back down, but I liked Raguel. I wanted to see him more. Without his death looming over us.

At your words I hide a laugh behind my hand, then tries to reign it in. I knew ~

~ and funny and adorably clueless. Please papa..

~ little look, like all of you do, when he's trying to learn something strange...

{Looks up at you again, hope in my eyes that you'll understand}

Dad doesn't look at you as a general. Or Greed. Or a prince. He's always seen you just as Mammon. Raguel isn't just an arc. He's.. Raguel. Kind ~

~ telling him he was now Death, he was so hurt. They expected Azrael to kill him. He feels like he doesn't belong anywhere now..

{Fidgets with my hands a little, a small smile forming as I think about his curiosity}

He doesn't understand human things, I've been showing him. He gets this funny ~

~ Azrael. Azrael is amazing and I would never get involved with someone who tried to kill him. But... Azrael spared him. When he could have killed him. Sent him here to learn the truth.

{Sighs softly again, remembering Raguel's face}

When he found out Heaven sent him after Azrael, without ~

{Nods quickly, feeling your rage. I knew you wouldn't lash out, at me anyway, but seeing and feeling a prince and general's emotions seep out was still terrifying. The enormity behind it was... enormous}

I do! I do... I know no one will like it, even simply because he's an arc and tried to kill ~

{Sighs softly. I knew I couldn't hide it forever}

Raguel.. the arc angel.

{Lifts my hands}

Before you spazz! He didn't know Azrael's story.. Heaven used him, we think trying to get him killed. Because he's one of the only pure ones left...

{Lowers my shirt, worry showing on my face}

You're going to get mad... or kill him. You might actually do that second one...

{Looks at you wide eyed}

Do you promise you won't...?

~ kept sneaking away to go see him while he healed. The more I saw him the more I started to like him...

{I try to fight the smile and pulls my shirt up to hide in it, only my eyes visible. You'd know exactly who he was if I named him and I was terrified to. How would you react? Especially since he's the one who tried to kill Azrael}

He's very nice... he was hurt and lost and I helped him. And ~

{Shifts around and picks at my sleeve, then slowly lifts my eyes to yours}

Science.... and stuff...
