It wasn't unusual for an angel to be assigned to a human. It was after all their mission to watch over humanity, their father's most beloved creation. Which was why Feliciano hadn't questioned his newest assignment of keeping an eye on a peculiar human. The angel was in charge of keeping an eye on a man named Arthur Kirkland. He wasn't given a reason as to why he was assigned to him other than that Arthur was apparently important in some way, shape or form. So Feliciano determined to fulfill his duties had made his way down to Earth to start his assignment.
He hadn't expected just how terrifying and prickly Arthur could actually be.
Arthur was a rather grumpy man who didn't go out much. With an imitation and a glare that could make even the bravest souls turn away in discomfort or slight fear, it became very clear very quickly just exactly why Feliciano's superiors were vague with his assignment. The angel spent a lot of his time keeping his distance, making sure that Arthur wouldn't come to any harm. But he never revealed himself nor did he get too close for fear of Arthur's wrath despite not being able to see him. This game of sorts continued on for a good few months, with Feliciano keeping his distance and Arthur being his usual critical self. Until one day it all changed.
It had been raining heavily that day. Feliciano had just arrived back to Earth after giving his report to his superiors and was looking for his charge. The angel was in no rush not wanting to be near Arthur quite yet due to his fear of the human. However those desires were quickly forgotten when he felt a sudden pain in his chest making him gasp. A shiver of horror filled him.
Arthur was in trouble.
Feliciano didn't hesitate to fly faster to try and reach him. The angel searched desperately, the stinging pull in his chest guiding him to Arthur. He couldn't help but curse himself for not getting back to the human faster, a hundred thoughts running through his mind as he drew closer to Arthur's location. Feliciano had expected to see a lot of things, but never in his life was he expecting the sight that greeted him. The Italian found Arthur in an abandoned alleyway, surrounded by several other humans who were currently beating him up. The young man was curled up into a ball, and refused to budge from his position. Feliciano felt a feeling of rage fill him at the sight, his fear for once gone. With a snap of his fingers and a beat of his powerful wings Feliciano let out a rush of his angelic power. Trashcans moved and fell over scaring the humans who were beating Arthur up. With swears and terrified shouts they quickly ran out of the alleyway, calling Arthur a freak on their way out.
The Englishman meanwhile didn't bother to move from his curled up position. After all of the humans were gone the angel made his way towards Arthur not bothering to keep his usual distance. Concern filled him as he drew closer and Arthur still hadn't moved. For one terrifying moment the Italian thought that he may have been too late in his rescue when finally Arthur twitched. With a somewhat painful movements Arthur slowly unfurled himself from his position, his face down.
"I think they're gone love."
Arthur's voice spoke through the silence and Feliciano stiffened at it.
'Was Arthur talking to him?? Could Arthur see him?? Oh father-'
Feliciano's thoughts started to go into overdrive until they were thrown into a harsh stop by Arthur's movement. Amber eyes flickering towards the man he finally took notice of Arthur's arms which were cradling something close to his chest. Feliciano's eyes went wide as a small kitten poked its head from Arthur's arms, its large green eyes blinking.
"See? We're safe now. Goodness you sure do cause a lot of trouble don't you poppet?"
Arthur said softly his voice smooth and gentle as he spoke to the small animal. The kitten let out a loud meow, as if it was apologizing to the Englishman. Arthur let out a small huff of painful laughter and slowly started to get up from the ground. Feliciano could only watch, stunned by this side of his usually grumpy and terrifying charge. The Italian was however quickly knocked out of his stunned stupor as Arthur finally lifted up his head. Feliciano sucked in a sharp breath as he took in Arthur.
Green, the greenest of green he'd ever seen met his own amber hues unknowingly.
Bright green eyes that were warm and filled with pain yet relief as well. The angel was frozen by those eyes, unable to look away as he took in the rest of Arthur's features. The Englishman was pale, paler than he originally thought with light freckles all over his cheeks. A pair of rather large eyebrows sat over his eyes. His hair was messier than it usually was and his eye was turning blue with a bruise, his lip split as well. Yet despite looking beaten up Arthur was breath taking.
'He's beautiful.....'
Feliciano thought too immersed with the image before him. The Italian had never noticed any of it, having always kept his distance from his charge due to being afraid of him. Feliciano watched as Arthur cuddled the kitten close to him, a soft smile on his bruised and bloodied face. With a small flinch Arthur began to leave the alleyway unaware of the angel that followed behind him. Feliciano was star struck in a way, everything that he knew about Arthur was suddenly no longer the truth. What was once a man who swore and terrified him was now a man who would let himself get beat up to save a tiny kitten from harm. There was more of Arthur than Feliciano realized and the angel found himself wanting to know more about this strange human. A strange human who now that Feliciano was close enough could see that he had a bright and kind soul underneath the harsh exterior.
As the trio made their way home to get out of the rain Feliciano had unknowingly broken a very old law.
Feliciano Vargas had unwittingly fallen in love with Arthur Kirkland's soul on that cold rainy day. A sin in its own right. And it was that day that Feliciano began to fall from grace, damned for all eternity.
