Heaven On Earth

Sixteen|Oath

"So, did you talk to him?" Phil asked, looking at Pj expectantly.

"No," Pj said, sighing loudly, "And I'm terrified of going back to Heaven."

"Pj, how am I supposed to help you? Dan gets home from his date pretty soon, and I doubt he'll he able to help you either."

"I know, I know," Pj said, "But I need somebody's advice."

"Find him!" Phil suggested, "And catch him, so then you can turn him in to Heaven."

"But what if he hates me?" Pj worries.

"Why does that matter?" Phil asked.

Pj's face went red, "I don't know!"

"Why didn't you come to me at the time I suggested?" Phil said, "You were late."

Pj looked nervous, "I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Did you?" Phil asked, looking sad, "Or have you been lying to me?"

Are you kidding me, Phil, Pj thought.

"Alright, okay, I was lying!" Pj said, rolling his eyes at Phil's compelling angel powers, that shouldn't be able to work on another angels, but did this time, "I did see Chris again."

Phil's eyes widened, "What did he say?"

"'Hello, darling, fancy seeing you again,'" Pj mocked, blushing again.

Phil raised an eyebrow, "Is that all?"

"No," Pj said, looking uncomfortable, "He also...well we also...well-"

"Oh my god up in Heaven," Phil said, "You did the unholy again."

"I'm sorry," Pj apologized.

"Why can't you resist Satans temptations?" Phil asked.

"I don't know," Pj said, "And you know damn well that most human desire isn't a Satanic temptation, but a trick to get humans to make babies. And if they don't, whatever, free will and shit, but that is besides the point! I'm terrified because....Phil, I think I'm becoming human."

"Blasphemy, get out of my house," Phil said, shaking his head.

"No, Phil, you're the only one I trust!" Pj said, waving his arms in the air, "You're a Cupid, so I know you're good with love and things!"

"What does love have to do with any of this?"

"I-" Pj began, his heart racing in his chest, "-I don't know, Phil."

Before Phil could reply, they heard keys from behind the front door and Pj's eyes widened as he quickly teleported out of the house. Phil couldn't even blink.

Dan opened the door, smiling as he saw Phil staring wide eyed at him as he entered, "Hey, Phil, how are you?"

Phil snapped out of his shock, "Oh, I'm fine."

Dan grinned as he shut the door, hurrying over to Phil excitedly and sitting cross legged on the floor in front of him, "Dude, the date was so much fun. We talked about music, related to crazy religious parents, and got icecream. I think he liked it a lot as well! He said yes to a second one, which I began planning all the way here!"

Phil felt something in his chest, which was most strange. It almost felt like...like envy. Or maybe even sadness, and it made it hard to smile. Which was even weirder, because it had never been hard to smile before. Phil couldn't remember the last time he felt anything like that.

"Oh," Phil replied, "That sounds nice."

Dan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Why don't you sound happier? You may have found me a potential boyfriend that I actually like. That's what you want, right?"
