The Devil's Angel // Sheriarty AU

• Chapter 4 •

Angel.

"You're an...angel?" I say with my brows furrowed, trying to get my head around the statement he had just told me.

Sherlock nods, and that answer makes me burst into laughter. An angel? Seriously! There's no such thing!

"An angel? Of all things you could've said, you decided to say angel! There's no such thing dumbass! Now tell me who you really are." I look at Sherlock's features become sharper, becoming angrier.

"I knew I shouldn't have told you. I knew exactly how you were going to react. Every human reacts the same way." Sherlock runs his fingers through his curly brown locks and slouches in the black chair, fed up with my contact response.

"But you seriously cannot be an angel! They don't exist."

"Well they do. Because I'm one of them, and I can prove it if you wish me to do so." Sherlock looks me straight in the eyes, his stare piercing mine. He really thinks that he can prove it. Is he crazy...like me?

"Okay then. Prove it to me." I sit forward in my chair, and I give Sherlock a rather playful look. Might as well flirt with the guy, it's not like anything bad could come out of it.

Sherlock notices my playful look and the right corner of his mouth twitches upwards into a rather playful smirk. I'm glad he's catching on.

In the blink of an eye, I end up flat against my apartment wall, Sherlock's strong hands gripped softly around my neck, his eyes dark and his smirk widening. Wow. In that fraction of time, he managed to grab me and send me flat against my apartment wall, on the other side of the room. Okay, now I'm starting to believe him, but let's not tell him that just get.

"Adrenaline is a really curious thing" I say flirtatiously, and Sherlock catches on and decides to give me more proof. He lets go off the soft grip around my neck and walks over to the coffee table, the gun lying flatly on there. He picks up the gun and he walks over to me and puts it in the palm of my hand.

"Shoot me. In the head. Go on, do it." He says, taking off his gloves one by one, then his scarf, then his coat, so hes just left in his tight suit. Hes throws his clothes onto the floor of the apartment and he notices me checking him out, so he bites his lip, and his cheeks become rosy.

"I'm not going to shoot you. You must be insane." I say, looking at the gun and then back at Sherlock.

"I am. Why can't you shoot me, you were just fine when you shot... Sebby" with that one name, I aim the gun towards his head and I pull the trigger. The man stands perfectly still in the same position, except now there's a hole in his forehead. Sherlock sighs and the hole miraculously begins to heal itself, cell by cell.

I lower the gun and Sherlock walks towards me and takes the gun out of my hand. His hands touch mine, and it sends my heart racing. How come a man I hardly know makes me feel like this, even though he talked about Seb in that way. His hands were soft against mine, which makes him seen even more angelic.

He places the handgun back on the table and turns around towards me again, waiting for my input on what just happened.

"How come you didn't die?"

"Because I didn't want to die."

"Having that much power....you must feel like God" I say darkly, imagining what I could do with abilities like that.

"No not really. I'm just a servant, nothing more." He looks sadly towards the ground.

"You want more" Sherlock lifts his head to look towards me, his eyes bright. I must be on the right lines. " you want to be in charge of your own life, not be told how to live it." Sherlock's eyes sadden. I must be right.

I decide to change the subject, talking about it obviously effecting him.

"So, you're an angel. Then show me your wings." I insist, walking closer towards the angel.

"You're apartment is too small to fit them in." He boasts, which makes me snigger slightly. I stop a few inches away from him. I can hear that his breathing is heavy, and I can smell him. The smell is unrecognisable, but it's still amazing.

"So why would an angel come down just to see me?" I ask softly.

"Because you're different. I like different."
