Beyond the grave (Book 2)

Chapter 4- Plan

Ryan turned up at my door a the next day,  smiling and looking as free as I felt. I hugged him tight, him awkwardly hugging back and smiling at Ricky. Ricky hugged me from behind gently, resting his head on my shoulder and humming softly. I smiled and rested my head on top of his, feeling elated and completely different to how I'd felt before.

"So whats the plan then Olson?" I said as all three of us walked into my front room, sitting down on the black couch.
"Well, I think what we should do first is get some holy bullets, I mean I know where I can get some easily..."
"Where?" I asked, completely astounded.
"Devin's. He used holy bullets to kill you.."
"Ah. Alright so you and Ry are getting the bullets, but how do I manage to get to Arakiel? Surely that's going to be hard?"

"Not really, no. Because you was...I mean because you ARE an Assassin, you'll be allowed in Arakiel's Palace of Pride, as long as you show how proud you are of what we've done as Death Incorp. Then it's just a few simple steps to befriend him and stab him in the back...theoretically. I mean, you'll be shooting him instead but you get the idea, right?" Rick said, a small gleam in his eyes. "Yes, I do love. I assume you two had fun planning this?"
"Actually Chris, it was just Ricky dude."
"Well I'm impressed, Rick." He looked at me and blushed, moving closer to me fractionally so I could hold his hand. "So when is this actually gonna happen and how exactly do I smuggle a gun with holy bullets into a demon prince's Palace?"

"Most high-ranking demons carry guns with holy bullets, for self-defence. You live in some big ass gothic mansion, and you have a "pet" which puts you in the higher ranks of the demon hierarchy. And you worked for Lucien, so you have that on your side as well. Lucien only ever employs competent and high ranking demons or people so..." Ricky said, sounding really smart, which made him look even hotter in my eyes. I sat there, staring at him while Ryan tried to speak, ignoring the world.

Ricky blushed softly, leaning in slowly as I leant in, and just as I softly pressed my lips against his, Ryan fucking started shaking me, trying to get my attention. I regretfully pulled away and looked at Ryan, "What?"
"Me and Ricky need to go back to Earth. Now ideally, there's been an uproar cause Devin's been thrown into prison for attempted murder and you're missing as far as they know."
"For fucks sake! How the fuck are you gonna cover this up?"
"Easy. I'll tell them that you've gone on holiday and Ricky, your boyfriend, made sure you wouldn't be disturbed by your fans."

"No! Tell them that me and Ricky have gone on our first holiday as a couple. I don't care what the fans say anymore, I want to be able to show this amazing fucking god how much I love him and how much he means to me." Ryan and Ricky just stared at me before Ricky crawled into my lap and snuggled up to my chest, smiling and muttering how he wasn't a god.
"I love you Chrissy..." he mumbled, probably embarrassed to know Ryan could hear everything, he was in the same room as us after all. "And I love you too Ricky baby. Now what should we do?" I said, this time including Ryan in the convo.

"I honestly think me and Ricky should go and get the bullets and then him come back on his own with the bullets, and I'll deal with the reporters and shit."
"I guess that'd work for us all..." I said, already figuring out what I'd do for Ricky whilst he was back on Earth with Ryan. Rick glanced up at me before he rested his head back on my chest, clinging onto me. Awwwe he's gone into clingy mode. Ryan raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes before smiling at the two of us. "I'll leave you guys alone for a bit, but I'll be back soon to grab Ricky and go home, alright?" Ricky nodded and I closed my eyes, keeping my baby on my lap as Ry let himself out. Ricky snuggled closer up to me and I smiled, enjoying this perfect moment.

Then Ricky ended up falling asleep, so I literally just sat there with him asleep on me, unable to move. I mean, I didn't mind it was Ricky after all, but even demons get bored and I was slowly getting bored, especially when the time began to drag. Then, Ricky bit my neck and I jumped, looking at him, and he was asleep. Because of course he'd bite me in his sleep. Ryan eventually came and him and Ricky said bye, Ricky gave me a huge kiss before walking out, looking small and sad. I shut my door and sat down. I have a lot of time to try and kill. Fun.
