First Couple, My Sweet Werewolf, Chapter 4

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…
