Zzzzzzz… Huh?
“Rafa!!” When he heard his newfound love’s
lovely voice, Raphael quickly turned. And… was welcomed with the sight of that
white-furred werewolf with a white tuxedo!
It was when he realized that his surrounding
has changed. He was neither in his office and the bathroom, which he should be
but he was standing inside a chapel instead. Raphael recognized this place.
When angel’s didn’t have the need for marriage system like human, there were
some who admired it anyway and thus a chapel was built in heaven.
The building was practically all white. Begin
from the walls, floors, seats, doors, windows, organs, candle holders, podium,
books, statue, cross, and white roses. All were in white, giving the aura of
purity within the place.
The arc-angel looked at himself and saw that
he was no longer naked but was in another styled tuxedo. The God was on the
podium with bored face and yawning widely, seemed to be acting as the priest. Eh, who’ll be marr… Wait, this situation…
Raphael’s face changed as he opened his mouth to call the werewolf, only to be
stopped by himself, or to be exact, by the sudden realization that he didn’t
know the werewolf’s name!
Aaargh!
He cursed himself as stupid before he hurriedly asked the younger one who had
arrived and was now standing in front on him. “Uh, can you tell me your name? I
wa…” He didn’t finish his sentence as a long finger was put softly on his lips.
A cute smile crept into that werewolf’s face
before his pale lips parted then moved as if he begin to talk. Raphael was
baffled, not because of his action nor because of that (very) cute smile, but
rather because he couldn’t hear what his love said. He asked the werewolf,
apologizing for not being able to hear it, but instead of repeating what he had
said, that male leaned forward then pressed his body onto Raphael! What’s with this development?!!! Raphael
was once again confused, as if this situation wasn’t confusing enough as it
was, the white creature’s face went closer and his sensual white lips opened
slowly.
The arc-angel was lost in that sexy
atmosphere the werewolf exuded. He putted his hands on the younger one’s
delicate waist and closed his eyes when their lips almost meet. A little more…
“I won’t
let you,” Raphael jolted at the sudden presence. This voice is… The God’s
playful voice suddenly resounded within his head. He’s using telepathy to disturb my time with him! Then as if cued
by the sudden exclamation, a hand suddenly appeared and pulled him away from
his love. Nooooo!! It’s just a centimeter
away!!!!!!!!!!!!
###
A sudden motion and a head came out from
water. The person coughed violently. His lungs were burning, even with the
immortality he held, the burning pain was definitely the same as what human
would feel. Actually, the higher their rank was, then the more they became like
human.
And he wasn’t your ordinary angel.
The blue haired arc-angel finally quieted down
then turned his head to the side which has his upper hand lifted. Sapphire eyes
widened at the sight of another male. “You must be thankful for me to help you.
Or else you’ll be the first arc-angel..” That other male stopped the shook his
head exasperatedly, “No, you’ll be the very first angel ever die from drowning in
the bathtub ever,” Words coming out from that mouth under those green eyes.
Raphael grimaced at recognizing the other man who was one of those damned
creatures that make him worked to bone in him recent knowledge. Yes, he’s Cherubim!
That means the God telepathy is just in
my dream.
Or is
it?
“Hey, what are you daydreaming about?! Did experiencing
near death situation make you somehow stupid?” Cherubim, whose main color was
that of the greenery spoke shamelessly as he let go of Raphael’s hand, not
noticing the trembling body and irritation that was clear on the blue
arc-angel.
“No,” Raphael glared dagger at him. “I am
just thinking, it’ll be better if you help me a minute later. A minute is more than enough to feel his
lips! Ooh, those plump, marshmallow lips… Hiks…
This time Cherubim was thrown to confusion. A
puzzled look appeared on his face as he responded with a mere, “Ha?”
“I want you to help me a minute late or not
at all!” Raphael said in irritation as he stepped out from the bathtub. He
stomped toward the other side of the room and took his towel then began to wipe
his body.
“What the hell are you talking about?! You’ve
almost die from that!” Disbelief painted the sentence and that other angel’s
face.
Ignoring the statement, Raphael continued to
wipe his body. It was then his eyes accidentally looked at the clock. Blue eyes
widened at the time it showed him. His body froze as he hoped that it was just
a mistake. Tough luck.. “I am 2 hours late!!” He exclaimed in horror. There is
no time to choose clothes slowly! He ran toward his wardrobe and put the first
cloth he saw, paired it with random trousers and put his long favorite white
mantel on. Shoes? Just take my black
shoes and all finished.
He then ran to the door and opened it, but
when he wanted to close and lock it, a hand suddenly grabbed it from inside the
house. From the inside, a face came into sight.
“Do you want to lock me here?” Cherubim spoke
as he forcefully open the door.
Being ticked at the second that were wasted
right then, Raphael growled angrily, “Then, GO
AWAY!!!!”
“Wh…!!” That’s the only word he can hear as
the green arc-angel forcefully teleported to his own house. Hmph, that because you irritated me since
before! Raphael opened his wings. Not just a pair of wings but 3 pairs of
wings. Each Arc-angel has 6 wings in total. The
power? Whatever with that! Hmph, He must’ve already heard and placed some kind
of protection for the earth to handle itself.
He flied away really fast and arrived to the
promised place just after a mere 10 seconds, creating a 25 meters crate from
the impact of his landing before tucking his wings away, not caring about the
damage he had caused. The flow of the wind that was completely disturbed by his
move reached out more than the impact gained by the ground as some of the tree
that was out from the diameter fell down. Leaves flew around the place. His
eyes looked all around but just couldn’t find the one he made the promise with.
He began to panic. Of course the male wouldn’t wait for him. He’s already late
for a whole 2 hours! What if he angry to
me? What if I won’t see him again? These thought were what in his mind at
the time.
“I hear
and see everything.” He said, using the kotodama to let his sight and
hearing ability to wander. Just for info, kotodama was your usual spells for
angels to use in their everyday life. Say the magic-infused words, picture what
you want, and there you have it. Arc-angels have natural resistance against
this one. In Cherubim case, he wasn’t prepared and the one using it against him
was another arc-angel, who in his anger infused a lot of strength in each of
the words. A lot here was really A LOT.
Well, let’s go back to the topic.
Raphael or his sight to be exact, searched
around as his ears focused to hear even a slightest sound.
“Hi, dear…” No.
“Mommy, I am hungry!!” No.
“How dare you cheated on me!!” No..no..no..definitely NOT!!!
“Kill him!!!” N..wait! He focused his hearing and moved the vision to there. His frustrated
face hardened at the sight of his love was being chased by 10 or so werewolves
all battered. Fist clenched in anger, he open his wings, just one pair though. It’s near!! And he flew as fast as he
can.
He could just teleport but as his brain
stopped working from overheat, he did what he commonly uses, fly.
When he looked down, he can finally see them.
His perfectly lined teeth grinded together as he flew recklessly toward them
and punched one of the werewolves who flew for who know how far before his
shoes touched the ground, standing between who he love and those werewolves.
“An angel?!” The werewolves looked surprised,
all completed with widened eyes. The idea of an angel helping their target
seemed to be ridiculous for them it seems.
Not only the pursuer, the one being pursued
who was protected by the arc-angel jaw-dropped too. He couldn’t believe that
his helper was actually and angel! Now his conversation and assumption that the
male was a human due to the thinking that there’s no way angel would help a
cursed one like him seemed to stupid, from his side. “What the hell are you
here?!!” The nearest werewolf talked in a harsh manner.
Raphael put his best (fake) smile, the bright
one that held promise of pain to the one it directed to, “Well, I’m this one’s
acquaintance. So, can you just go and promise that you won’t ever hunt him
anymore? Moreover hurting him?” He referred to the wounds the white haired werewolf
had last time. Those wound, if it weren’t
me, he’ll definitely die!
That werewolf that seemed to be the leader of
the group shouted again, “We can’t do that, you son of a bitch!! He’ll bring
cat…” Before he could finish his line though, he felt his body lost gravitation
as he was slammed to the dirty ground. Pain went through his body at the hard
contact. “Do NOT speak like that to ME!” Raphael spoke with calm manner and the
smile still plastered on his handsome face.
“How dare you!!” The other werewolves went
mad and attack him at the same time. They
really are some idiot creatures! Raphael thought as he readied himself. To make these muscle-brains understand that
I really am one to be fear of, I have to defeat them in their own play.
The one he protected was terrified seeing it.
He knew that angels were stronger and higher in rank than werewolf, but they
seemed to be going for a hand to hand battle, which was more to his species expertise.
After all, he didn’t know anything about angels except the formal ones and
rumors and what he knew was that angels were physically weak. No wonder he got
worried.
Little did he know that the one protecting
him was the oldest arc-angel who got more than enough of his share at the wars
before peace.
“Rafa!!” He yelled, wanting to help the male.
But the fight was finished before he could butt in.
Let’s go back a few moments…
Ah, I
am happy that he cares about me. Raphael thought blissfully with his anger reduced
significantly simply because of that one word. He really did take care of those
werewolves in the blink of eyes.
Raphael dashed faster than any bullet could
be toward the first one then twisted his body to kick him on his stomach. He
then landed on the ground and using that particular foot as the next attack’s
pivot, he kicked another one with the same kick on his neck. The others weren’t
worth mentioning as they were on the ground as easily as the first ones. The
winner dusted his body as he walked away.
As for him, the white werewolf, he just
stunned while Raphael massacred his pursuer. He defeated them in a second and just using his foot?! One second
later, there’s just one thing inside his head, He is so cool! The excitement that made his eyes sparkling dimmed
as he remembered. ..But he’s late. I
thought he’s the kind who won’t allow himself to come late. He must be thinking
that I’m not worth the trouble. He helped me just in a whim. He is an angel and
I am a werewolf and cursed after all.. THROB It’s
obvious, really… THROB ..but I don’t
want him to hate me… His mood plummeted as his own train of thought.
Surviving all by himself, hated and avoided by everyone made him has the
negative mindset.
Raphael walked toward the younger creature.
He was very nervous! This time, his identity as an angel revealed. What if… Nervousness tried to make him
thinking negatively but he stopped the thought just in time. Stop, Rafa. Don’t think about unnecessary
things. Just stop. Ugh…
“Ehm.. eh… S-sorry for being late…”
“Ah,” Raphael saw his love nodded in
depression, but couldn’t see even just the slightest fear on his eyes, making him
wondered what’s wrong. For now, tell him
first, Rafa! “..I am working all night along and accidentally fell asleep,
so…”
The werewolf lifted his head, face gradually
brightening, “It is the reason? It’s not because you think that I’m not worth
the trouble?”
Being taken aback at how cute the werewolf
was when it happen, Raphael shuttered his words out, “O-of course not! I’ll
never hate such a beautiful creature like you! Never!!” Uh, what did I say?
This time was the other one’s turn to be flabbergasted.
He was used on being called [cursed], [ugly], [disgusting], [vermin], and alike
but this was the first time someone, anyone ever call him.. [Beautiful]. “W-well,
thank you for helping me and for that.. compliment…” He bowed deeply. Ah, his ears were red! How cute!! That’s
what Raphael thought behind his calm face.
Neither of them spoke after that. The
werewolf had straightened his body up and staring at the ac-angel and the
object of his stare didn’t know what to say. Should he asked his name first or
do something else then ask him later when they’re less awkward. There is many
things he want to know. Around that time, sapphire eyes saw blood.
“Your arm…it wounded?”
That white one jolted and looked at his right
arm, “A-ah yes, one of them managed to hit me with his spear…”
“I should’ve hit them harder,” Raphael
mumbled angrily.
“What?”
“Oh, nothing. Give me your arm. I’ll heal
them right away.”
Two male walked toward each other and one of
them put his hand on the other’s wounded arm. A soft light enveloped that
particular area. Then the wound closed immediately after, healed in no time.
Raphael let out a satisfied sigh, This is just a small injury. “You must
be thinking that I am stupid when I think you’re a human right? Considering
that you’re actually an angel.” He heard his love whispered. It seemed that the
other was hit by another wave of depression again.
“No, not at all!”
“Really?” His voice was full with disbelief.
“I am a werewolf and cursed on top of that.” I must be crazy to think that he is cute in a different light in a time
like this. This was Raphael’s thought, being distracted before doing
something that would make his love surprised.
He put his hand under the white furred
werewolf’s chin then lifted his head without thinking. A second later, soft
lips met the other.. It’s not a deep kiss, at the beginning.
At first, he just brushed his lips onto him. Ah, how so soft. I want more. Was the
thought of the taller one that made him suckled his love’s lower lip before
taking the chance of the younger’s surprised yelp to slip his tongue in.
“Hmm..ah…” A moan escaped the pale male, making
the other realized what he did. He pushed the other immediately and stared at
the werewolf’s panting figure in disbelief. What
have I done..? I-I need to give him a
good explanation.. But what?!
“You…” The werewolf lifted his head and looked
at Raphael with flushed cheek, “What do you..mean..by this?”
Ugh… “I..I
am sorry. Eh…” I rolled my eyes to left, “It’s...well… I-I like you a lot…”The truth is I love you so much!! “…So..
ah.. it’s the way we asked for a friendship in heaven…” LAME! That’s a lame excuse, Rafa! He beaten himself up inside his
head.
“………………………………”
“R-really!! Just that! Nothing else!!” He
tried so hard to convince the other that he failed to notice the brief change
in his object of affection’s face.
“Okay, that’s good” Said the white irises
werewolf. He looked at Raphael cheerfully, “It’s 2 hours late but I’ll repay
your kindness now. What do you want? I’ll do it as long it’s in my reach.”
I want
you to become my lover.. The arc-angel thought in depressed mood that he
succeeded to hide. “Can you show me around? Last time I checked there are 3
towns around here. I am really interested in earth so I want to explore this
area!” This way I can be with you the
whole day!!
The younger one smiled brightly, “Okay, you
can count on me. I’ve been here for around 370 years. I know this area more
than anyone else.” 370 years.. even his
lifespan is much longer than a mere werewolf. If I’m not wrong, the cursed ones
didn’t have a lifespan, in other word immortal, just like us.
“Thank you…” Raphael smiled friendly and realized
that a hurt expression appeared on the werewolf’s face. He turned away then
said, “Let’s go!”
Feeling that he couldn’t mention it, he just
answered in what people called excitement, “Yeah, please!” And followed him. But I want to know what make him put that
expression on his face…
To be continued…
