Tears of an Angel (Boy X Boy)

Chapter Nine: Why must Flowers Wither?

I woke up beside Kyouta and got up from the bed. I walked into the bathroom with a change of clothing taking a shower. I exited the shower and saw myself in the mirror. I had huge white wings sprouting out of my back. I stumbled backward surprised and sighed. I slipped my pants, and boxers on angrily.

"Damn this all," I said and Thorn appeared.

"Hello."

"What do you want?" I asked trying to put my shirt on.

"To help you with this." He motioned to my situation and I sighed.

"Then help me," I said and he nodded. He cut slits in my shirt and helped me put it on. When he finished a sword appeared.

"This is your weapon to steal Kyouta' s soul."

"Can he see it?" I asked as he helped me put it on my belt.

"No."

"Is there any way to keep his soul?" I asked.

"No there is no way."

He touched my wing making me flinch and sighed. A black cloud surrounded him as he disappeared.

"There has to be a way," I said and wrote a note to Kyouta telling him that I'd be back soon. I walked out of the house and started walking to the library. I heard someone call out my name and turned around to see Kyouta running to me in a wrinkled dress shirt, slacks, and socks. He hugged me tightly and I hugged him back.

"Why are you out here?" I asked.

"You left with a note. I thought that you had truly left," he said and I started crying into his chest.

I have to tell him.

"K-Kyouta I need to tell you something," I said.

"What?" He asked petting my head. I spread out my wings and put his hands on them. He saw them even though Thorn said that he wasn't supposed to. "Why?"

"I-I am an angel," I said and he gasped. "I just found out yesterday that I have to take your soul when you have to die. And I can't keep the secret from you. I don't want for you to die."

"If that is the truth then why you?" He asked.

"I am in a contract with a grim reaper to compete for your soul," I said and started crying again. "I need to find a way to save yo-"

He kissed me stopping me from continuing. "If I am to die then let it be you to take my soul."

"What?" I asked and he nodded with a smile on his face.

"Fool."

"I don't want for you to die because of me," he said.

"But-"

"No buts," he said. "I'll take this week off okay."

"Okay," I said and he brought me back inside. He kissed my cheek, and I sighed. How can I tell him that his death is in two days?

"If you do then I will kill him on the spot."

I saw Thorn watching me out of the corner of my eye and a bud of hatred took root in my heart. If my lover ends up dead then I will take something from him. His life or a lover of his. Thorn laid back and watched us from afar as Kyouta went to change. I glared at him and a smile fell onto his face. I spread out my wings and touched them.

"How do I fly?" I asked.

"You just fly."

"I'm back," Kyouta said coming down the stairs with a suit on. "I'd like to go out on a date."
