Sutōmu opens his mouth and closes his mouth back up again, Travis gets even more angry and irritated by him. Travis steps down harder on Sutōmu neck. Nex watches while holding Ciciel who's still unconscious. Sutōmu starts choking and using all his strength to push Travis foot off him but Travis isn't budging. Sutōmu feels drool starting to leak out of his mouth and he rapidly tries to gasp for air. Nex places Ciciel on the floor gently and gets up, he heads over to Travis and shoves him off Sutōmu. Travis gives Nex a death glare and grabs Amor hand, Nex gets on his knees and grabs Sutōmu head gently to help him catch his breath. Sutōmu looks at Nex while catching his breath, Nex stares at him with nothing but a smile as he sees the man who used to love him.

-Past-

A angel who was the most caring and loved turned out to be something that isn't seemed to belong in heaven. So, they casted him out only for a demon to find him.

??: "Who are you? You don't look like a demon at all."
Nex: "Im Nex, Im not from hell, I was originally from heaven."
Sutōmu: "I'm Sutōmu, let's get you cleaned up."

Sutōmu holds out his hand and Nex grabs it, Sutōmu had a nice build. Sutōmu hands were soft and his voice was sweet and gentle. It's almost like he's an angel in a disguise, Sutōmu helps Nex get on his feet and helps him walk.

Nex: "Where are we going?"
Sutōmu: "My place, we need to fix you up."
Nex: "Thank you"

Sutōmu smiles at Nex softly and holds him close to his side, Nex makes sure not to be dead weight so he tries walking himself while getting aid from Sutōmu. Nex feels comfortable considering the fact he just has fell from heaven, he feels like Sutōmu is different. Sutōmu and Nex make it to Sutōmu place, Sutōmu helps Nex to a seat and leaves the room. Nex looks around the place and scans it, the place oddly feels comforting and safe. Sutōmu finally returns back with stuff in his hand, Sutōmu gently smiles at Nex and places the stuff down. Nex gives Sutōmu a weird confused look.

Nex: "What is that?"
Sutōmu: "Some ointment to help your skin heal from those wounds."
Nex: "Oh, thank you Sutōmu"
Sutōmu: "Of course, now hold still it will burn and hurt for a bit but after that the feeling will go away."

Nex nodded and stood as still as he could and let Sutōmu put the ointment on his wounds, Sutōmu wasn't lying when he said it was gonna burn. Nex felt as if his skin was burning off, the pain didn't last more than a minute. Sutōmu finally got done putting the ointment on Nex body, Nex gives Sutōmu a warm smile. Sutōmu smiles back and grabs the stuff and leaves the room once again. Nex does nothing be wait for the demon return, Nex can't put his finger on why Sutōmu has this good nature considering the fact he is a demon and why he's helping Nex. It just seems out of character for a demon to act this way, Nex lets out a sigh and throws his head back. Nex can't stop seeing the way his daughter figure looked as he was falling. Nex heart began to ache, Sutōmu returns into the room.

Sutōmu: "Nex are you alright?"

Nex opens his eyes and moves his head to look at Sutōmu.

Nex: "Yes, I was just thinking about something."
Sutōmu: "I hope everything alright, Your wounds weren't as bad considering you fell. I'm surprised you are capable on even functioning this much."
Nex: "How did you know I fell?"
Sutōmu: "Well, you told me you were originally from heaven. I assumed by how beat up you looked, you got casted out from heaven. If you don't mind me asking why did you fall?"

Nex doesn't know weither he should tell someone who he just met on what happened but Nex does anyways.

Nex: "I don't really know the reason, All I know is that I wasn't like the rest of the angels. I always felt so out of place, the other angels noticed that too. I guess they just decided to get rid of me."

Sutōmu just stares at Nex with a pitiful expression, Sutōmu sits next to Nex.

Sutōmu: "You don't look like a bad person at all, If anything you give off good energy."
Nex: "You are the same way."

Sutōmu gives Nex a big smile, Nex can't help but smile back. Sutōmu eventually gets up and Nex stares at him.

Sutōmu: "You can sleep with me, I rather you not sleep on the couch and unfortunately this house a one bedroom. You can also clean up, I'll see if you can fit in my clothing."
Nex: "Thank you Sutōmu, this means a lot to me."

Sutōmu lets out his hand and Nex grabs it, Sutōmu leads Nex to their bedroom and shows him everything is at. Sutōmu proceeds to show him the bathroom and everything he can use along with showing him how to use the shower. Sutōmu gives him a pair of clothing that he will think will fit Nex and closes the bathroom door. Nex gets undressed and takes a nice warm shower, when Nex gets out he stares at himself in the mirror suddenly seeing how much he changed because of that fall. Nex didn't have his bright halo or his angelic wings anymore, Nex lost that warm smile and the light in his eyes. Nex could hardly recognize himself as he felt as if his beauty left him, Nex didn't feel like himself either. Nex didn't wanna believe that due to him getting casted out by heaven that it would truly take away everything including his own happiness. Nex sighed deeply and looked away from the mirror not being able to bare what he looked like now, he puts the clothes that Sutōmu lended him and they were a tad bit too tight. Nex looks down and looks at the only memory he has from heaven and it was of the only thing that he could ever truly remember and love. Nex looks at the only memory of his daughter figure and feels his heart break even more and his eyes filled with pained tears. Nex takes a deep breath and puts it away, he leaves the bathroom and sees Sutōmu sitting on the bed.

Sutōmu: "Was the water temperature okay? Did you have a good shower?"
Nex: "The water temperature was just right and the shower was wonderful."
Sutōmu: "I'm glad, You can pick whatever side you want to lay on."

Nex walks up to the bed and lays on the left side, Sutōmu lays down next to him. Sutōmu lays on his side to look at Nex, Nex is laying on his back but turns his head to look at Sutōmu.

Sutōmu: "I'm surprised we are this comfortable to be sharing a bed together considering the fact we just met."
Nex: "It is weird, I guess that's what happens when you feel comfortable with one another."
Sutōmu: "I guess so, I wonder how close we can be in the future you know"
Nex: "I hope we can become friends, I hope we can get closer and closer as the days we spend time together."
Sutōmu: "I would love to be your friend Nex.
Nex: "Me too."

Sutōmu lets out a sigh and turns off the lights, Sutōmu lays on his back and falls asleep. Nex can't seem to get comfortable enough to sleep but he doesn't want to wake up Sutōmu . So Nex lays there looking up the ceiling thinking about his daughter and starts to feel that ache again. Nex sighs and finally closes his eyes. Next thing you know Nex and Sutōmu are both fast asleep.
