Angelus Mortis

Chapter Thirteen

GMG Round 2: Unknown Feelings Pt. 2

"So good to see you....monstruo." -Julius Romano

Angelus Pov.

I heaved a small sigh as I glanced up at the sky, my bangs hanging limply from my eyes as I began to hum softly to myself. Tapping to an nonexistent beat as my baby dragons slept soundly on my stomach, I brought my free hand up to my face and rubbed away my tears as they continued to run down my cheeks.

Why does it hurt so much?

Sniffling lightly as I waited for a response, I closed my eyes and exhaled shakily when I didn't get one before peeking up when I heard upcoming footsteps. Sitting up slowly, I made sure that I wouldn't wake up Danja and Nar before glancing curiously over the ledge as the footsteps suddenly stopped. Squeaking lightly when I made eye contact, I quickly shot back and fixed my bangs over my eyes as I heard Sting and Rogue chuckle under the breath. "Good to see you too, Angelus." Peeking back over the ledge when I heard my name, I gave the duo a shy smile as my cheeks slowly started to heat up.

"H-hi..."

Feeling my face heat up even more when they chuckle again, I waited until Lector as Frosch had made their way up to before giving them each a loving pat on their heads. "Hey Angel!" Lector fretted in a small purr. "Hi!" Frosch quickly followed with a risen paw. Giggling lightly at how cute they were, a sudden squeal left my lips as I was greeted with the sight of a red faced Sting and a smiling Rogue. "Are you alright?" Sting worriedly questioned as he crouched down to my level. My fingers shook as I slowly nodded my head, my eyes gazing blankly at Danja and Nar as they continued to sleep peacefully in my lap.

"U-uhm...Yer guild member did good t'day" I softly proclaimed. Giving the two slayers a shaky smile as I moved my attention back to them, I let out a small sniffle and rubbed at one of my eyes one last time before tilting my head back as I sensed my demons. Giving Chancy and Lala a -what I hope- convincing smile, I gently began to run my fingers against my babies' scales as Rogue and Sting blinked at me blankly. "I guess..." Perking up when I took notice of how defeated he sounded, I glanced up at the blonde through my bangs as he avoided all eye contact.

Glancing over towards Rogue as he shifted, I frowned a bit when he also avoided eye contact before looking down once again. "...Well, it was good to see you Angelus." Nodding my head without looking up, I forced myself not to look up when I heard them leave. After gazing blankly at Danja and Nar for a few moments, I slowly brought my head up at gazed at a worried Chancy and Lala as they stood in front of me in their humanoid forms. "Are you okay Angel-sama?" I heard Chancy question. Silently I continued to gaze at him, my white eyes watering with tears once more as Lala knelt before me.

"Ch-Chancy...I don'o what to d-do! E-every time I see them me h-heart 'urts a-an' I don't know why! I want it ta stop, Chancy! I wan' it ta s'op!!"

Sobbing loudly as I exclaimed this, I let the tears fall freely down my face as my crow demon hugged me closely to his chest. "Shh, its okay Angel-sama. It's okay" he cooed as I cried into his chest. I gasped as I held on tightly to his vest, my body trembling as I tired to stop myself from sobbing. "Poor Angie..." Tightening my hold on Chancy as I heard Danja and Nar roar out to me worriedly, I ducked my head and tensed a bit as I heard someone approach the building we were sitting on.

Already having an idea as to who it was, I pleadingly gazed up at my crow demon through damp bangs as the person down below shifted. "P-P'ease..." Digging my face into his neck as he hoisted me into his arms, I tightly closed my eyes and prayed for the night to end as he finally approached us. "Ange-" Snapping my eyes open, I stared at Gajeel with tear filled eyes before quickly looking away as we disappeared.
