Techno POV

“You can calm down.” I assured Karl as he walked in front of me. It was cold outside, but I knew that the two humans needed time to think, time to talk with one another after everything that we had told them. Plus, knowing them it would probably go… quite far.
“I don’t know if I can.” Karl bitterly responded, shivering against the wall of harsh weather.

Sapnap wrapped an arm around his soulmate, who sighed and leaned into the brunette to show him comfort. “What we did could get us all arrested, we revealed our existence to humans. Th-that is punishable back home and I don’t want us to lose our jobs.” The brunette hissed out all of his words in a quick panic.

His hands drifted over to brush against some of the wild plants which curled themselves into our path. The two of them both seemed to be wallowing in pity and I just grinned. “Well my idea worked a lot better than anything you two clowns have done.”
“Don’t call him a clown.” Sapnap hissed. “We know what we need to do.”

“Yes.” I rolled my eyes. “You know what you need to do with conventional methods. Conventional methods do not always work.”
“These conventional methods have worked for the last thousand years.” Sapnap assured.
“Yet my non-conventional method finally got them together.”

We both were about to start bickering over whether many of his methods would actually work or not when Karl stepped in, stopping both of us. "Sapnap." His voice had switched from anxious and quiet to firm yet understanding.

"Yes?" The ravenette asked, care and love filling his voice as he looked towards his soulmate. A hopeful smile was on his face, certain he was going to get reassurance that he was correct. I could tell that that wasn't going to be the case.

His voice remained level as he looked to his Seraphim soulmate. "While I don't agree with Techno that our methods are useless, his idea for them to find me with my wings sped up the process by a lot. It could have taken months otherwise." I continued to smile smugly, proud that I had managed to help them.

"It was a dumb idea though." I watched as his eyes glowed, bright ripples of light circling round before disappearing under his skin. "You could have been shot Karl!"
"Once again, Dream doesn't own a gun." I felt like I needed to point it out.
"Well we didn't know that, plus he could have owned a gun and then what?"

“You are crazy.” I reassured the ravenette, in case he was beginning to think otherwise. “Or perhaps just jealous that a Guardian Angel had to guide you to do your jobs…” I gasped excitedly, sounding like a child. “Maybe I’m your Guardian Angel Sapnap.”
“That sounds like torture.” He responded.

Even after Karl had attempted to break up our bickering we began again. Karl seemed annoyed, but after a few long moments he glanced at his phone. “It’s been an hour.” He pointed out. “Perhaps we could head back.”

Karl was looking directly at me, directing the question at me. It was something else that he did that annoyed Sapnap. I took my time to glance at my phone, and when I realised that it had indeed been over an hour I nodded. “Should be safe to go back now.”

“What do you mean safe?” Sapnap questioned. Neither he nor Karl knew exactly what I meant by that phrase, I figured it was better not to explain it to them either. Most likely they wouldn’t understand, since the pair of cupids were innocent.
“Just trust me.” I hummed, smugly smiling.

Dream POV.

I couldn’t help it, I had to take the opportunity to lean in and kiss the side of his face. “You are so perfect.” I reminded him, not that he noticed. He had fallen asleep after a round or so of sex, and after cleaning him with a cloth, I tucked him into my bed.

For a while I had laid alongside him, taking the opportunity to unsubtly admire him as he slept peacefully in my arms. Now though I was beginning to worry that the trio of angels was going to come back. I didn’t want them to find me while I was laying in here with George, since that would make it clear what we were doing.

I wasn't sure if George wanted them to know that we had slept together, which they’d figure out if we were both hiding away in the same room. And, George was currently in no state to be walking to his own room. So I’d shut my bedroom door and George’s, and just tell them that he had gone to bed. They didn’t have any reason to doubt me.

The brunette sighed out in content and rolled over in his sleep. “You are so cute.” I whispered, feeling a blush run up my face. A content peacefulness was enveloping him, and I wanted nothing more than to be able to curl up alongside him, yet I couldn’t right now. “Later.” I had to reassure myself. “Later.”

When I opened the door though I blushed, seeing a box of chocolates having been set on the floor in front of the door. “Shit…” I whispered, knowing that it had to be from Techno, Karl, or Sapnap. At least one of them was back here, and they knew about the fact we were in the same room together right now, since there was no chocolate in front of George’s door.

Cautiously I lifted up the box, taking notice of a piece of paper folded on top of the purple box. Instead of stopping to read it I headed downstairs. I decided I’d snoop around to see if any of the angels were hanging around, and regardless if they were there or not.

Tucked under my arm was the box of chocolates and when I reached the bottom of the staircase I saw Techno standing in the kitchen. His gaze moved over towards me and a smirk grew on his face. “So how did it go?” He questioned,  but I knew he already knew my answer.
“Just be quiet.” I hissed under my breath.

Yet all I could think about was George, his body against my body; skin against skin; our souls intertwined by the universe. It was enough to make me swoon, and was definitely enough to push back my awkwardness, at least for now.
