Ramshackle's Angel

86

So everyone knows, I'm collabing with WILLOWyt123 so please check out their story "A little mess up family" for their part of the story.

That night, Xander climbed up onto the roof, his chest killing him as he saw a young woman about his age with purple eyes and a scar over one eye.

"Hey, who-?!" He started, causing her to flinch, grab his arm, and judo flip him onto his back.

Then the woman reconized him to be Lorelai's older brother.

"Oh my god! I'm sooo sorry!" She apologized.

"Owww. It's okay. Just, uhh...why are you here?" He asked her, slowly getting up.

"Oh....I didn't realize this was the Scrap house...I'm Sa- I mean Lilith!" she replied, accidentally almost revealing her other name.

But Xander didn't notice because of how much additional pain he was now in.

"Xander. But do you mind answering the question?"

"Oh. Uh. I got into a argument and well...I decided to go out for a bit" she explained, remembering said argument.

She sat down on the edge of the roof, legs together as she put her head down in shame. Xander sighed as he sat next to her and started to pat her back in attempt to comfort her. He then remembered all the times he got into a argument with his mom and ran away to Bee's place to calm down for a while. So, he knew how she felt.

"It's alright. Everyone makes mistakes. And sometimes it's good to let it out instead of bottling it up inside" he told her before standing up.

He quickly went inside and soon came back with two bottles.

"Need a drink?" He asked.

"...got one that's strawberry flavored?"

He smirked and nodded before handing her a bottle.

🖤🖤🖤

The tow of them laughed drunkenly as they shared stories about their lives.

"Damn! So you're brothers got a box thinking it was a good idea to ride down the stairs in it?!" He asked in between his laughter.

"Yeah, and after that they fell down the stairs from being yeeted out of the box! Mother wasn't so happy about it!" Lilith added as she laughed more.

After a moment of laughter, Lilith saddened again. Xander noticed and decided to give her some wisdom.

"You know....sometimes when I feel down, I sing how I feel. You know? Maybe you could give it a try?" He suggested with a soft smirk.

Lilith thought about it for a moment before she decided to give it a shot. Slowly, she started to sing.

As she sang, Xander joined her and they started to ballroom dance. As they finished, they held each other close. After a moment, they realized what happened in their drunken state and immediately let go. Both felt really awkward for a few minutes before Lilith started laughing.

"That was...something..." she said, hardly controlling her laughter.

"Pfff-"

Suddenly, the two new friends burst out laughing. When they finally calmed down, Lilith gently punched his shoulder.

"Hey, thanks. Also, do you mind if I stay here for a bit?" She asked him.

"Yeah, sure. I'll go inform my sister first" he replied.

"Okay. That's reasonable."

And with that, the two smiled as they went inside the Scrap house.

*Meanwhile, in Heaven*

A small cherub angel stood outside a doorway, the door decorated with hanging rainbow flowers.

"Sera! It's time for you to come out. You've been in there all day" the cherub said through the door.

Soon, Sera emerged from her room, singing to herself as she flew by. Another cherub came out of nowhere, quirking an eyebrow up as she watched the seraphim angel.

"What's with her today?" The female cherub asked, she in her brother following behind her before she bumped into Maggot.

"Oh! Hello Maggot!" Sera chirped, placing a red and white flower in his hair before flying off with a fantasizing look.

That's when the female cherub: Allura, came to a realization.

"Oh, she has it bad."

"What?" Maggot pressed, turning to the tiny angels. "What does she have?"

"Isn't it obvious, sir?" Shane: the male cherub asked.

"Sera is in love!" He squealed.

Maggot raised his eyebrows as he looked at the flower Sera put in his hair.

"Sera? In love?" He asked himself.
