Slice of heaven.

In the end we all fall victim to ourselves.

Time stood still. Everything happened in seconds, and yet it seemed as though it was a lifetime. First Theo’s magic gave up, the light flickering away. He knew, he knew there and then that he wouldn’t live past this. He turned, his eyes broken as he looked at Mal. He couldn’t say anything, there wasn’t any time. But he hoped more than anything in the world that the look he gave the angel said everything he needed to. I love you Malachi. And then there was an astounding flash of light - frighteningly beautiful to any who knew what it meant.

Malachi saw it happen in slow motion and it felt like it took a century to get to Theo before he could drop to the ground. “Don’t you dare!” He put his hand on his chest and tried to heal him but he knew deep down in his heart that this wasn’t going to work. Mal looked up at the sky that had returned to its normal colour then back at Theo, all you could hear was Mal’s shaky breaths then his sobs. “You can’t leave me too.”

Theo stumbled back, somewhat in shock that his blast had done some damage. “The flower,” he mumbled under his breath, he remembered speaking with Mal so long ago about how angel’s could be killed - the whole smiting business. The figure in the sky seemed intent on killing Mal, and without warning a blast was heading down in their direction, straight towards the angel. “NO!” Theo jumped forward again, this time sending a stream of angelic magic up to meet the other’s.

Mal got himself ready, but Theo jumped in between and he stood straighter. “Theo no!” He didn’t know how long the witch could hold the other angel off. The energy from both magicks just built stronger and stronger, that meant Mal could do nothing but hope that Theo could hold him off till he could get up there himself and smite the other angel.

“But you broke through the barrier, surely he’d be able to?” Theo scowled, “Shut up right now, that sounded like a Goodbye I love you. And we’re not doing that…I’m not scared of some fucking punk-ass angel who thinks he can ruin my date.” He raised his palm to the sky, sending out a wave of energy, energy combined of his witch magic and the angelic magic he siphoned from Mal’s flower. 

“Theo no!” Mal tried to stop him from doing it but it was too late, the other angel became enraged, but he still didn’t come down and stayed in his corporal form. “Don’t do this!” Mal called up, trying to hold the angel off, distract him even. “You’ve got to go Theo!”

[angelicmal]

abandonedgemini‌:

The anger was bubbling up inside of Theo again, like it had done the whole of his life. Without realising, he began to siphon from the flower that hung around his neck. “Well…” His eyes were sad, conflicted. “We have to do something…we have to kill him first.”

Malachi took his angel blade out and backed off a little, making sure to take Theo with him. “He knows there’s a barrier stopping him from coming down completely, he’s not that stupid.” Then he glanced back at him. “You know I love you, right?”

[angelicmal]

abandonedgemini‌:

His feet practically gave up, knees shaking in fear as he squinted up at the sky above them. He couldn’t even see the face of the angel, just the silhouette of huge wings - even bigger than Mal’s ones. “What does he want?” He had to shout, his voice carried away by the wind.

Mal turned a little to support Theo so he wouldn’t completely sink to his knees as he listened to what the other angel wanted. “What? No.” He shook his head. “He wants me dead.” Mal glanced back at Theo. “We don’t have the best relationship in the world.” That was an understatement.

“What the fuck are you talking about? Another angel?” Theo’s eyes were wide with panic, their date having been interrupted by the sudden gale force winds surrounding them, lightning crashing down right near where they stood on top of the hill they stood on. “Couldn’t it be Cosimo?”

“No. Cos is... gone.” Malachi looked up at the heavens opening, yes, a part of him wished it was Cosimo, but no, this was someone who actually hated him. “It’s Bartholomew.”  He sort of shuffled in front of Theo to make sure he had him shielded.

Theo would never ever want to get away from Mal’s grip, but after what he and Cosimo had talked about, he couldn’t help the guilt knotting up his stomach. Shrugging out of the embrace, he looked up at the angel with sad eyes. “I’m sorry, Mal.”

Mal frowned by complied to his wishes anyway and stepped out of the embrace. “What are you being sorry for?” He asked now, a hint of concern in his tone.

Lucifer chuckled. If only the other knew. “He’s probably learning how to read.” His statement sounds like something a brother would say jokingly because it is. “You seem to be enjoying it though. Free will looks good on you again.” Does it? Does it really? He doesn’t trust Malachi but they’re not fighting… Lucifer’s just being a pain in the ass again.

“Again? you knew about last time then?” Funny, others did but Mal only had very faint memories of last time he was on Earth.

𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝, eyes staying fixed on the gentle movements of the water that surrounded him. “why would i hate him?” it made no sense —— malachi’s happiness was one of the most important things in the entire universe to him and theo was a part of that. “i just tried to help him UNDERSTAND our nature. that a relationship requires compromises. that you are a team now.” did he really have to treat him with kid gloves to make him see that he was trying to HELP them as a couple? the blond did not even realize that mal stepped into the water, not until he wrapped his arms around him. “i can’t promise that.” he mumbled very quietly, though he returned his hug in an instant.

“I know, Cosimo. I know you couldn’t hate him.” Why would he? Theo made him happy for the first time in many, many years. “I’m kicking your arse if you try anything.” Mal mumbled back to him and gave him a squeeze before slowly letting him go.

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 was appreciated, but he stayed SILENT, allowing a few moments to pass. “their punishment would be severe.” but maybe it would be so quick that he would barely feel a thing before they ended his existence in this realm and sent him to the empty. “maybe i DESERVE it.” he whispered to himself, but he placed one hand on his best friend’s and gave it a squeeze in return. “i know, mal. and i know that you want to be there for me.” there was another long pause and the blond glanced over his shoulder, studying him for a second until his eyes fell to the water again. “your boyfriend came by. he wanted to know why i hate him. instead of listening to me, he nearly lost control. asked why i won’t propose to you.” he sighed. “i know what you want. i want to be there for you too, but… maybe it would be EASIER for you without me in the picture.” maybe it would be easier for everyone.

Mal sighed and closed his eyes for a second. “I will talk to him. He can’t just straight up assume you hate him, I know you don’t hate him, I never thought you hated him. He just doesn’t understand what we have between us.” Everyone didn’t understand what they had. “You’re not going anywhere, Cos.” He told him firmly then got into the water to pull him into a hug.

ofcosimo‌:

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤, taking a sip while he waited for the silence to swallow them whole —— but there was no point in that either, was there? he placed the bottle on the side of the pool, in between some of the candles, and he stared at the dark water while he began to speak. “do you ever feel like we had it WRONG when we broke heaven’s laws?” he took a deep breath, just to let it out. “i thought feelings would give our lives more quality, but they only bring pain.” cosimo clenched his jaw and finally glanced at malachi. “i am considering going back, mal. to heaven. to face my punishments. everyone i talk to gets hurt and i’m EXHAUSTED. maybe it’s time.” even if his return would most likely end with him slumbering in the empty for all of eternity.

Malachi listened to everything Cosimo was telling him before he reacted by getting off the lounger and went to sit at the side of the pool next to him. “I know things have been rough lately, but you can’t let it get to you. Going back to heaven and facing your punishments won’t solve anything, Cos. I for one, don’t want to see you subjected to whatever torture they will throw your way.” He reached out and put a hand on his best friends shoulder and gave it a squeeze. “Think about the good things you have going here, there’s me, Rosie and hell, even Kaitlyn now. I know things are looking on the dark side, but I promise, I’m going to be there every step of the way with you through this. I got you. Call me selfish if you like, but I don’t care, I care about you and your well being.”

An angel? Her mind immediately went to telling him what she was in hopes that he could help her, but she knew the only way it would happen, would be to gather her own strength back.  I have been stuck like this for hundreds of years.  Starved and deprived of rest, so I cannot change.

Mal frowned a little no when she told him she was stuck this way as a result of being starved. “Well, you won’t be starved here so you don’t have to worry about that.” he reassured her. 

[angelicmal]

          oh this guy again. the angel. “i think so.” he agreed, lips pursing together. “but for some reason, people… struggle with it. who knows why.”

A ‘huh’ escaped Malachi’s lips. “Have you ever asked them why they don’t like the word?” 

[angelicmal]

“Of course, I can’t believe i didn’t think of that. You think she’d like it?” he asked, eyes practically sparkling. “Boyan. Boyan Emilov”

“Well, I guess so? I’m sorry, I’m not very well versed when it comes to giving gifts but I’m assuming yes?” 

[angelicmal]

ofcosimo‌:

𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭, this was not NOTHING and he would fail miserably if he attempted to fool someone that knew him so well, but the angel shook his head anyway. “talking about it won’t do anything.” he murmured, allowing his body to sink a little deeper in the water. “but i appreciate the offer. i really do.” it was simply POINTLESS to take him up on it, wasn’t it?

“It may not do anything, but getting it off your chest is a good step.” Mal sat back on the lounger and drank a little more, he wasn’t going to push, but it didn’t make him any less concerned for his best friend.

[angelicmal]

ofcosimo‌:

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 when he placed his drink in his reach and he muttered a quiet “THANKS.” although he did not swim toward it straight away —— he felt too exhausted to move right now. “i don’t know.” he admitted, averting his eyes again. it felt like he didn’t know ANYTHING right now, so why bother talking? his words could only do harm anyway.

Malachi watched his friend carefully then sighed some. “Cosimo, what’s the matter? And don’t say nothing or try to avoid the subject, you know stuff like that doesn’t work on me.” He took a sip of his water. “It’s me and this is a safe space.”

“ I remember. daddy was always the first to eat, but not you, ” she looks over at the waitress, waving her over with a polite smile. “ you’re definitely with the right person for that, I eat probably too much. you should try the chocolate milkshake here, it’s fantastic. oh — and they have really good cheese fries. ”

“You probably watched Cos hoover every scrap up, so got that from him.” Mal shrugged, he didn’t know if it was true, but he made a guess anyway. “Cheese fries?” He glanced over at her. “Maybe I will.” Then he turned to order the fries, but he went with water rather than the milkshake.
