The lights were out in the pent house when Malachi stumbled in around three in the morning, he had been out with Theo all day and stumbling in at this time meant that the angel had lost track until Theo fell asleep in front the TV. Having put him to bed, Mal had come home, high on the day and the biggest smile on his face as he made his way through the dark and into the kitchen, where Cosimo kept the beers. He didn’t see him sitting there until the light of the fridge illuminated the kitchen. “Good evening... morning, whatever it is. Oops.” Mal laughed a little. “I hope you weren’t waiting up? I did send you a text. I sent it, right? I’m sure it went through, Theo double checked.”

Anna can feel him seething from across the room but she casually walked around, took a drink from a tray that went past and laughed at a conversation nearby that wasn’t anything to do with her before moving on, purposefully going slow but with no goal in sight because she knew that any moment now he’d be coming over anyway. And she was right, despite the that she saw Mal try to stop him, she stood on the spot with a smirk on her face. “Well, well, look what the cat dragged in. You didn’t ask me, so I brought myself here.”

Mal looked uneasy at the food in front of him and like a small child, he picked up the sausage and took a small bite of it, the whole eating thing was something he had been working on lately and it had been his idea to go out to breakfast with Cosimo. “You can taste every single herb and spice and more in this.” His bites stayed small which was better than last time where he would just watch the other eating. “So, I did it.” Mal was referring to the protection on Theo. “I was silly to be afraid of rejection it seems.”

It had taken him a while to track his best friend down as he didn’t want to be found. The guilt was now too overwhelming and it was a couple of days later, having been back to the penthouse, Malachi had seen that Cosimo still hadn’t returned despite the fact that he had said he needed a couple of days, so that’s what Mal did. A couple of days for them to cool off, but it did mean a couple of days of never-ending guilt for lashing out at him at a time that Cosimo needed him. 

Having tracked him down in a woods somewhere Mal hesitated but pushed past that to go and sit next to him in silence. 

Letting the silence wash over them for next few minutes, he then turned to the blonde angel. “I’m sorry. I should’ve just kept my mouth shut and been there for you. I’m so selfish. I don’t know what’s happened to me.”

Dozing lightly in Theo’s bed, Malachi had been up with him through most of the night while he was sick, he had refused to let the angel heal him, therefore had to suffer through his flu. At some point in the day, Mal had this sudden feeling of sadness in the pit of the stomach, but he put it down to recent events. 

Tonight however, the feeling grew to the point where it was actually hurting. This wasn’t sadness, this was something so much worse, it was grief. Shuffling around in the bed, he placed a kiss on Theo’s sleeping form then went to find his pants, pulled those on and teleported after writing a message. 

Since he couldn’t just appear right in the penthouse any more (Thanks Asmodeus) Mal fished his keys out, unlocked it and walked straight in. Mal didn’t even need to call out as he walked through the penthouse and out onto the balcony where he sensed Cosimo was. Without saying a thing, he simply went over and pulled him into a hug.

The citizens of San Francisco had served their purpose for the time being, suitably clothed and fed, Malachi took his leave in order to search for his friend, it shouldn’t be too hard to track down a fellow Angel, he just thanked their Father that he hadn’t fallen... yet, everything was teetering on the edge of a cliff, He was pissed off and had ordered Malachi to go down there, talk some sense into him and maybe bring him back back where he belonged. 

In fact, Malachi was so deep in his own thoughts, he had wandered out onto a busy road, causing the cars to quickly stop before they could hit him, not like it would hurt him it would hurt them more. Instead of moving out of the road, he continued his tracking right up to... a bar? It looked seedy and Mal wondered why he was about to find Cosimo in here. 

The door flew open and Malachi cast his gaze around the place while others stared at his sudden appearance, he hardly cared for the stares and marched straight over to Cosimo, putting his hand on his shoulder and turned him around on a stool. “Let’s go.” @ofcosimo

Mal stepped out of his bedroom and ran his hand through his scruffy hair, having just slept for the first time in ages, he had needed that and thought he was alone in the penthouse so when he wandered past the doors that led out onto the balcony and pool area, he spotted Cosimo out there, shrugged and opened the door. “Do you want something to drink?” He called out to ask, Mal didn’t actually know what time it was as he hadn’t checked yet. “She’s a nice snake by the way.” He indicated back into the lounge.

She blinked and her eyes turned black like a void but when she blinked again, they were replaced with her usual brown hue as she sat in a cafe somewhere in the city, seemingly waiting and when the door jingled open, she pulled up the menu to her face, trying to make it look like she wasn’t watching him but the truth was she had been waiting for him to show up somewhere, having not wanted to just simply go to the pent house and get thrown out, so she bide her time, gave them space to think about things and here he was. It looked humorous though to an outsider.

When she thought it was all clear, she lowered the menu but got the fright of her life, jumping at the others sudden appearance. “Uh... hi?” Ugh, so much for playing it cool. @ofcosimo
