Stars Meant To Fall

What is inevitable is inevitable II

Warning: The end of the chapter gets a bit dark. It's for the plot and charachter development I promise😅🥰.

Crowley's flat door opened and Atlas walked in with a pile of books in his hands.
"...so you are willing to park in front of the bookshop with Bentley but you don't want to go in? How does that work? I mean I know that there is a defence system and all but Muriel seemed to be welcoming towards you" he asks from a demon behind him.
"Yeah... no... I'm not answering that question" Crowley shook his head closing the door behind themselves. "Watch with those books! I can't believe Muriel let you borrow them! I personally told her not to sell or give away any books from the shop" he grumpily added.
"What? I promised that I will be extra careful with them. It's just some astronomy books.

"And books about angels?! You still trying to find Raphael don't you?!"
"Hmm... maybe?" the gingerish-brow haired boy smiled nervously.
"I told you to give up. Angels didn't see him since the Great Rebellion and the after the Antichrist was born he also disappeared from Hell"
"I know but come on Crowley. Where he could possibly go hm?"
"Well it's a big Universe" the red head demon went ahead.
"Trust me I would have noticed if someone was moving around the Universe. I sensed Gabriel and Beelzebub when they entered together"
"Ohh so they really went there?" the demon put the ice-cream boxes into the freezer.
"Yeah... They asked where the Alpha Centauri is. I showed them the way. They seemed like a sweet couple despite their... khm... differences" the freckled angel shrugged getting back to the starmap.

"Ahh... well... at least they got a happy endin... ngk..."
"Don't move demon and I consider to let you live!" a female voice quietly said holding a sword which looked very holy in her hand. "What are you planning huh? Why are you holding an angel in captive?"
"Angel? Oh... for fucks sake!" Crowley groaned. "Atlas! Move your ass here and be quick! We have a guest!" he shouted into the living room.
"I didn't touch your plants I swear! Maybe they started blooming because of the angelic..." the gingerish-brow haired angel stepped into the kitchen hands already glittering because of the stardust. "Holy s... no I'm not finishing that sentence" he stopped himself. "Laila?! What are you doing here?!"

"Atlas? Oh thank God! You're in one piece!" Laila huged the gingerish-brow haired angel for a minute then turned back to Crowley pointing the holy sword toward him. "What was your plan with kidnapping Atlas? Explain yourself demon!"
"Whoa whoa whoa! That's bit of an overreaction!" the young Starmaker stood between Laila's sword and Crowley. "How about we put down that dangerous thing that can discorporate or kill someone in the room? First of all I'm not kidnapped. Mr. Crowley and I are working together"
"Wait... are you here because you want to be here?" Laila confusedly furrowed her eyebrows.

"Oh you finally get it. Great job 'detective'. Really" the red head demon groaned.
"You're not helping Crowley" Atlas glared at the demon.
"Okay I can see that you're alright but why are you working with... well... him" Laila pointed at the red head demon while slowly putting her sword away.
"Mr. Crowley is a big help. He was a Starmaker and worked with Archangel Raphael. He is helping to fix my mistake before it's too late"
"Your mistake? Before it's too late?" the brown haired girl furrowed her eyebrows and the freckled angel realised that he said too much.
"Well... I..."
"I think I leave you two for it" Crowley tried to escape from the room but Laila raised the holy sword towards him again.
"You're not going out of my sight until Atlas doesn't explains why he is here"
"I'm about to tell you Laila but please do not kill the only person who can help me right now. I'm here because it looks like I damaged the universe and now it's kinda falling apart"

"Oh? That's doesn't sound good but it's nothing you can't fix right? An easy job just that one time when you showed me how you create a sun from stardust" the other angel smiled. "Come on... you couldn't make a big enough mistake to cause Her to hate you" she added.
"Hah! Wanna bet?" the red head demon sarcastically commented while the young Starmaker lowered his head then took a deep breath.
"There's something else Laila... try to... just don't freak out much please" Atlas smiled nervously miracling his wings back.
