Reignite

Chapter 1

   Heaven and hell, you'd never think that the rulers of such opposite places would do anything but hate each other, but here's where you're wrong.

   We begin in the underworld, with the king, Lucifer. He was sitting in bed, shirtless with a pair of pants and his wife sleeping next to him. He and Lilith were the rulers of the underworld, together for eternity as they had sworn. He at first was happy to be with her, their relationship was that of love and care, but after eons, it began to be tiring. They began to constantly bicker and fight, often going to sleep angry at each other. He had begun to tire of their 'love'. It had been the same, never changing, for millions of billions of years, and honestly? It grew boring. (The love-making wasn't good anymore either (i can't take myself seriously)). It had never been, really. He had had thoughts of leaving. In the eons they've been together both had taken separate lovers on the occasion, but it wasn't enough for him anymore. Random whores in hell or the odd Angel wanting to try what it feels like to ruin their 'purity' weren't enough to satisfy him, and Lilith and he both know they could never have successful sex.

  He wanted something greater, something better. And where did that thought process get him? Why it made his mind wander to the big man himself. Jesus Christ. He thought about when he was back in heaven. He may have been banished for fighting with Jesus, but it was not for the reasons everyone thinks. He had a love for Jesus since he was first made an Angel. He had always had a strong admiration for him, always wanted Jesus to take notice of him and when he did he had a sense of pride. He watched him every chance he got, entranced by the man.

   His heart had started off as just a love he thought many other angels felt since he was their savior, but it slowly turned into something more. He had begun to awake in the late of the night from dreams of him, not dreams of soft love and care but something.. else. The thoughts began to flood his head more and more often and slowly.. he began to touch himself thinking of them, dreaming of it being Jesus. It began to happen more and more often and one day, Jesus noticed. He had noticed Lucifer, his brother in arms, leaving a meeting hurriedly. He followed to find Lucifer alone, touching himself and murmuring Jesus's name. Jesus was mortified, from what Lucifer saw. He banished him, being that Lucifer had committed the sin of Lust while he was an archAngel.

  His heart had shattered when it happened. Even billions of years later it still makes his chest ache thinking about it. He sighed and pulled the sheet over his body as he laid down. He was tired, mentally and physically. He drifted to sleep, thoughts of that day clouding his head.
