Devil's POV:
I have been feeling more- upset about things recently. I've caused a lot of commotion in the casino with tantrums and things. Dice has been further away recently, too. It doesn't help. I don't really have anybody, you know? He's the only person I know, love, and trust. Anytime I do see him, he's drunk. My wings have been growing out of my skin. Bones are popping out, and Dice is normally here to help me stay calm. I hate it. I hate how he's growing away at my time of need. I'm always there for him when he needs me. It's just sooo different helping somebody to him. I'm out here fucking going through physical and emotional trauma. The biggest problem he has is looks, and keeping his fame. My problem is-..
Fuck.
Now I remember it all.
I just don't get it. This happened because I couldn't control it. Greed.
Fucking greed.
Everybody has it. But I was the exception. An angel of "purity". Hell didn't exist until I committed a "sin". Now I'm crying like a weakling.
Then I feel somebody. That somebody wrapped their hands around my torso like a hug but more- comforting. I sob harder and keep thinking about everything. The chalice, the angels, God himself. I guess I was saying this aloud because the person hugged me tighter.
"Doll.."
I stay silent. He didn't.
"Doll, please..I'll listen."
I open my eyes and look at him. He looked back. I sigh, and he let go. He sat across from me and held my hands.
"Why are you caring now? I've been in pain for the past 2 months."
Dice stayed silent. Trying to get me to keep going before he answered anything. I think he was trying to be helpful, by listening, I wanted answers. I guess I'll get them later if anything, I might as well vent when I can.
"My wings are coming back, worse than ever.Everything's coming back and I'm feeling overwhelmed and it's- you left me too. Like everybody else did on the council."
He stared at me.
"Might as well keep going. I was the guardian angel of the chalice. When I was kicked out of heaven, and sent to where God didn't roam, some other angel took my place. Out of spite I killed their most powerful warrior."
He kissed my hand and looked at me with a light stare.
"Anything else you need to get off of your chest, Doll?" He asked, softly. He stood up and grabbed rags, bandages, and other items. I let everything out as he was fixing up my back. I let everything out, stupid things, hard to get out things, and many between. When he finished, I was still hurting, but nothing was visible and it wasn't as bad as it was. He pet me softly on the head, and then kissed me.
"Need anything else, Devi?" He said, with that doe-eyed light stare.
"No, but thank you for caring."
"Want me to stay and chat with you?"
I could've sworn he hadn't said that much to me. He could've done anything else, but he spent his break talking to me and listening. When his break was over, he went back to his shift, which was almost over.
~Timeskip to Dice's shift being over for plot convenience~
Dice's POV:
My shift had just been finished and I walked back over to my lover's office to check up on them. They gave me a weak smile and motioned me to sit across from them. They started to cry again, understandably. I stood up and sat on their lap and hugged them. The demon cried into my shoulder and I slowly pet them to comfort them. I've been terrible to 'em recently for no reason. They removed their head from my shoulder and kissed me.
"I love you more than anything..I- I thought you- Were out cheating.."
"I love you too. I wouldn't hurt you like that, Doll."
They went silent and hugged me. They started to chuckle at me, I raised an eyebrow.
"Your doe-eye look is adorable."
"What?"
"When you're confused it's adorable. Like you 'don't know'." He gave another soft chuckle and caressed my cheek.
"Let's go to bed, shall we?"
I nodded, he picked me up and set me down in the bed. I noticed they still looked slightly stressed, so I pet them until they fell asleep. When they did, I kissed them softly, and fell asleep.
