February 7th

Two college freshmen were sitting on a bench in the park, each reading a textbook to prepare for their upcoming tests. Rick tried to find the courage to talk Sally, his longtime crush, but he could barely find the words. Meanwhile, across the way, a woman was watching them while sighing and shaking her head.

"Really, Ricky?" the woman asked as she reached into her bag and pulled out a mini-crossbow that had been equipped with a red arrow that a little heart on the end. "Okay, kids, this won't hurt one bit."

Before she could fire, a knife plunged through the back of her throat, the woman's eyes glowing white as she died before falling to the ground. Her attacker left the cupid hidden in the bushes, the ashy outlines of her wings singed into the grass.

"Yeah, I'd love to see you tonight," Adam Milligan said as he leaned against the kitchen counter in his pajamas and bathrobe, a cup of coffee in hand. "I... haven't told my friends about us yet. No, it's not that, it's just-- I don't know how they'll react. Okay, I'll talk to you soon."

Adam hung up and sighed, hating having to keep a secret from his friends. It was just after 6 a.m. and the sky was still dark outside. Alfie walked into the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he headed to the refrigerator to pour a glass of orange juice. He was soon followed by Ben, who wasn't a morning person judging from his messy hair and bags under his eyes.

"Good morning, Adam," Alfie said as Adam stared him up and down.

"Uh... Alfie? I can't help but notice your t-shirt,"

"I got it from the Hot Topical,"

"Yeah, I know. I see you got the little cat wrapped in a burrito, it's cute, really. But uh... why aren't you wearing any other clothes?"

From the waist down, Alfie was stark naked.

"I don't feel comfortable sleeping shirtless,"

Adam raised a finger and was about to speak, but then decided it was best not to. "I'm going to get the paper. When I get back, you'd better at least be wearing slippers on this cold floor."

Adam carried his cup of coffee out to the living room, where he found himself greeted by the sight of an older naked man, wearing only a quiver over his back filled with arrows. Adam just calmly stood there as he sipped his coffee, followed by an awkward silence.

"Noooope, this isn't gonna work. I think I need stronger coffee,"

"Here, try some of mine," Ben said as he handed Adam his own coffee mug.

"Ben, this isn't coffee, it's vodka."

"Apples & oranges, Adam."

"Cupid?" Alfie asked as he walked into the living room. "Is that you?"

"Samandriel!" the man shouted as he pulled Alfie into a hug. "I had hoped the rumors of you being alive were true!" After a few seconds, he dropped Alfie and pulled Ben and Adam into a hug as well.

"Adam, I'm scared," Ben whispered.

"Me, too, Ben, me too,"

"Cupid is one of my cherub brothers," Alfie said as Ben and Adam backed away slowly.

"I thought you were an angel?" Ben asked.

"I was created to be a cherub," Alfie explained. "But God found me too adorable and--"
