Story by Lex

Aron was an Angel. The angel of life, to be exact. He came down to Earth to help give it life. He helped plants grow, he helped keep babies alive when mother's gave birth, and he tried to keep people alive when they were ill. Aron loved what he did. He loved how important he was and how happy he made people. But Aron especially loved plants. He loved all kind of plants, but he loved flowers the most. He loved all kinds of flowers. His favorite flower were proteas, or sugarbushes. He loved their colors, their smell, and their shape. He loved everything about them.

There was an angel opposite of Aron. His name was Jorel, and he was the angel of death. Jorel was the angel who killed things. He killed ill people before Aron could save them, he killed babies before Aron could help them live, and he killed plants after Aron made them grow. He hated his roll in all this, but he literally had no choice. He killed everything he touched, and there was no changing that. You'd think that Jorel hates Aron, but that's not true. He actually has a little crush on him. And by little, I mean huge. Jorel can't get near Aron without his entire face turning bright red.

It was a cool summer afternoon, and Aron was walking through the woods. He stopped every so often to pick some flowers, and put them in the small bag he was carrying. After awhile of walking Around and picking flowers, he found some roses. Without thinking, he bent down to pick a few but pricked his fingers Instead.

Aron jumped and gasped in pain. He watched the blood trickle off his hand and onto the grass.

"Woah!" Aron gasped, still staring at the blood. He's seen a lot of blood in his life, but was never the one to bleed. Aron tilted his head as he watched, fascinated by the blood.

Jorel cringed as he watched Aron. He knew what it felt like to hurt and bleed, and he couldn't understand why Aron was so amazed by it. He wanted to walk over there and drag Aron back to heaven to get him help, but he couldn't. Everything he touched died. Jorel wouldn't be able to do that without killing Aron in the process. Everyone knew what happened if you killed an angel. You lose your winds and powers and are sent down to hell as a demon, unable to enter heaven ever again.

Jorel attempted to walk closer to Aron, but he stepped on a stick and it made a loud snap. He growled to himself and hid behind a tree before he was seen.

Aron quickly looked away from his hand, and stared at where he heard the noise "hello?" He called "anyone there?" After a few seconds of waiting for a response, he gave up and stared at his hand. He sat there for a little while longer, then stood up and walked back home

As soon as Aron was gone, Jorel came out from his hiding spot. He walked over to the roses and bent down. Slowly and carefully, he tried to pick one. Of course, it died once he touched it.

"How will I ever give Aron flowers if I kill everything I touch?" Jorel growled to himself.

"You know I can help with that!" A voice said. Jorel whipped around, only to see the most annoying angel behind him. It was Danny, the angel of Love. He would never shit up about how he makes people fall in love, and how great it is to watch it happen.

Jorel rolled his eyes "how can you help me?"

"You want to give Aron one of those roses, don't you?" Danny asked. Jorel slowly nodded his head. "But you can't because you kill Everything you touch, right?"

"What's your point?" Jorel snapped.

"My point is, I have a solution!" Danny smiled. He reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of gloves. "Put these on and try to grab a rose." He held out the gloves for Jorel to take. Jorel stared at Danny whole he took the gloves and put them on. He didn't believe that a pair of gloves would stop the rose from dying, but it was worth a shot. Jorel gently wrapped his hand around a rose and pulled it from the ground, surprised and happy it didn't die.

"Wow. Thank you, I guess" Jorel murmured the last part.

"That's my job, helping people fall in lov-"

"Yeah, I get it. Now leave me alone so I can go see Aron." Danny rolled his eyes and flew away. Jorel just smiled to himself and walked to Aron's house.

Jorel knocked on Aron's door and held his breath, hoping this would go well. His hearty practically stopped once Aron opened the door, and his face was on fire.

"Jorel! What a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?" Aron smiled at Jorel, making his face heat up even more.

"I-i uhh...I brought you s-something!" Jorel bit his lip.

"Oh! What is it?" Jorel took a deep breath, then showed Aron the rose.

"I know it's not your favorite, but I didn't really have time to look" Jorel murmured, looking at the ground.

"Thank you so much Jorel! I tried to pick a rose earlier today, but pricked myself instead. You know I've never bled before" Aron carefully took the rose from Jorel.

"Are you alright?" Jorel asked, looking at Aron's hand. It had Band-Aids on the fingers that he pricked.

"Yeah, I'm fine now" Aron smiled, and set the rose aside "thank you so much!" He gave Jorel a hug, causing Jorel to have a heart attack he's gonna die!

But Aron didn't. He stayed alive, and he didn't even get hurt. Jorel stared at Aron as he pulled away. "Was that too soon?" He asked, frowning a bit.

"N-no! Not at all!" Jorel quickly replied, smiling at Aron, who smiled back.

"Alright" he gave Jorel another hug and this time, Jorel hugged back. After all these years Jorel spent alone, too scared to touch anything because he knew it would die, he as finally able to give the person he loved, a hug.

"Aron, I have to tell you something. I like you. I've liked you for awhile, but I've always been too scared to tell you. I get if you don't like me back. I mean, were complete opposites!" Jorel said, staring at the ground.

"You know what they say: opposites attract! I like you too Jorel" Aron told him, causing Jorel to look up at Aron in surprise. Aron was smiling at him, his face a little red.

"Can we be boyfriends?" Jorel asked.

Aron giggled "yes we can be boyfriends!" Jorel smiled, Aron grabbed his hand "come inside. I'll get you something to drink"
