FALLEN.

LUCIFER HAS COME ACROSS A painful depiction of reality, a reality in which HE has established as the truth to their depravity, their reward — the eternal price for the transgressions of humanity. and it’s the devil that pays the price. always condemned for the weight of their sin, despite never actually instigating the fall of mankind in the first place, or so he thinks. the only fall he should be held responsible for is his own.

he’s not the same monster preached about in dear old sunday school.

contrary to popular belief, lucifer does have a standing sense of morality. and this, this reality — he finds a deep-rooted amusement in it. in the acidic nature of it all, the irony. underneath the intrigue and the latent disregard for it unless it suits his fancy in a given moment, he truly is satisfied with the wonder it brings, the curiosity. he nods in maze’s general direction, the remnants of a sneer on her lips as she pours their new companion a drink. his hand is clasped on his hip, leaning against the wall.

❛ you’re a little late to the party. ❜

The present dilemma presents itself in the form of the drink that’s passed his way. Neither had he requested it, nor had he known who had ever-so graciously offered it to him. Regardless, appreciative nod is bestowed to their mediator, especially since she was bound to know more than he did about his generous host. Eyes flick to the glass and his spirit rises-- a slight pivot in the stool was all the effort it would take to face the one addressing him.

❝ My apologies----- ❞ ...as he’s managed to intrude upon minutes of their closing hour. Naturally, it doesn’t occur to him that a proclaimed ‘ night club ‘ would close just as he happened to chance upon it-- just his luck, he supposed. The glass is raised to his lips, and before the discretion of a second thought could roll through his mind, it tipped back, and the burning liquid was sent down his throat. Wicked grin displayed upon pacifier’s lips, Arlen briefly wondered if his first impression of the devil could have been more glamorous. ❝ ------ but I must protest; I am never late, nor am I early.. Especially because I have no idea what bloody time it is. ❞ ( An issue he’s never been faced with. )

It’s laughable that he tries to adapt in ways he should never have had to. At times, he attempts to immerse himself in the frivolousness of the modern day. These are the times Arlen wonders most where traditional values have gone and how there appear to be little boundaries to cross... & he sighs as he is reminded that this is not the worst he’d seen. Assuming it better to be seated at the bar, he maneuvered his way to the closest stool and was relieved when he found that the others had long since been vacated. How perfectly appropriate for him to arrive alone and to sit alone, he mused.

He does not dwell over the fact that a magnificent catalyst stood merely several feet from him. The longer his eyes settled upon the script-changer, the more he came to realize that he was his own time bomb. This man actively changed the future unlike any before him, and Arlen was simply enraptured by the prospect. In many ways, they were similar. They differed, however, in their relations to both demons and angels alike ( as well as reapers, as far as he was concerned ). & oh-- he was staring straight back. ❝ I intended nothing by it, I assure you. ❞

♚ GRELL.

‘ but – it’s rather lonely without you, darling! ‘

pout once more forming, a small noise reminiscent of a whine crept from her throat. she always had a flare for the dramatics, you know. but it was true!

❝ Well... perhaps I should stay for a while. ❞ For the first time since they’ve met here, he cracks smile. This is what he’s missed! Arlen fully intended to keep his word, if only to catch up on the goings-on of this time through his long-missed companion’s eyes.

♚ GRELL.

‘ well you did leave for an entire year the very moment after it happened, how was i supposed to feel about it? ‘

❝ That perhaps I had prior commitments. We have our jobs... both you and I. Not even my personal interests can trump where and when I am needed. Perhaps the circumstance will be different this time. I cannot be certain of anything.... ❞

#mxrtem

♚ GRELL.

………………………………………..

………………………………………………

‘ —— you haven’t? ‘

❝ Surely you think better of me than that. Of course I haven’t forgotten. I cannot. ❞

#mxrtem #[ pls don't make that face hun u n u ]

♚ GRELL.

‘ do elaborate, because i fail to understand how it could possibly be complicated! ‘

arms cross, bottom lip protruding into a pout.

‘ how could you not leave such an impression? we shared a kiss, that isn’t something a lady can just forget! ‘

❝ I-- ...cannot offer an elaboration.. ❞ & he sees beyond simply being upset; Grell was EXPECTING his return. ❝ I haven’t forgotten, either, mind you. ❞

#mxrtem

♚ GRELL.

‘ how on earth could you POSSIBLY not understand?! ‘

a huff, offense veiling feminine features. if anything she was hurt, a dent in the trust she had in the man she held so highly in regard. an entire year spent questioning his return– at first she was optimistic, but each dull day that went by, the more her vision began to once more turn to william, hope diminishing.

‘ you LEFT me all by my lonesome for the entirety of a year! how very DARE you! ‘

❝ It’s not as simple as that. ❞ Brows narrow to apologetic pose; he truly is sorry for wounding her so. Their introduction lasts but a single day, but has lasting consequence on the pair, it seemed. Their first ( & last ) kiss still lingers on his lips-- perhaps the origin of her anger stems from his inability to explain himself after its occurrence. He had left the very next day, expected in another place and in another time. ❝ I apologize... I knew not that I had made such a lasting impression. ❞

#mxrtem #[ don't be mad bby- i thought about u a whole lot ♥ ]

❝ I do not understand your anger... ❞ A years absence, and he’s already found himself here again ( in this time ). He’s thought of visiting every so often, and it’s evident that even he doesn’t quite know where the time has gone, but here he is now. Grell is angry, but he doesn’t understand a reason beyond his lack of presence-- why is she so DISAPPOINTED?

#mxrtem #[ i promised ; v ; ]

( mr. sutcliff ):

❝ perhaps i was just making sure you weren’t going to walk away. ❞

there was a light rose tint that swept across porcelain cheeks as he felt fingers curl around his hips, gaze only briefly glancing downward to catch the other’s lips before lifting once more. they were so close, yet not close enough. that is, until the other took initiative to close the distance between their lips.

a tingle of excitement trickled down the reaper’s spine, arms tightening around the other’s neck. it was gentle, but ever so enjoyable.

❝ if it earns me such experiences, i have no qualms with allowing you to make decisions. ❞

and with that, another peck was ghosted along arlen’s lips.

Eyes may cast a sideways glance at whatever happened to be that way-- Here he is; kissing the ( probably the most ) interesting lady he's ever met within the first twenty minutes of meeting him. This is most certainly a first. He's still undecided about how exactly he's supposed to feel, and the dissonance only continues to grow stronger and stronger, yet there is no movement to retract just yet.. Ivory digits would ease their tension, and would ever-so slowly lift to brush against the gentle features of the other. ❝ Perhaps.. that is enough for today.. ❞ Arlen does not intend to harm Grell's feelings, but it would be unfair if this were only a one-sided endeavor. That, and his efforts in romanticism could use some work. ...and so, a step backward is taken on behalf of his bashful nature.

( mr. sutcliff ):

a chuckle crawled from within the reaper’s throat, toppling from smirking lips in amusement. it is unwise for someone to trust such a fleeting soul, many have learned that rather quickly. however different arlen may be, he better hope the crimson reaper does not lose interest in him. anyone who has the nerve to kill their dearest friend without second thought is truly someone to be feared.

❝ very little to fear, you say? darling, you may be attractive but that does not make you immune. death happens within the blink of an eye, a flash of red, you could never see it coming. danger is most deadly when masked with a pretty face. ❞

hands slithered from the other’s chest to rest daintily around his neck, smirk returning to a flirty smile in a matter of seconds.

❝ why not kiss you? ❞

❝ Look like the flower, but be the serpent under it, hm? ❞ Perhaps it's bad that his curiosity is allowed to get the better of him. This would not be the first time someone appeared to have good intentions, but was only masking ulterior motives all along. For now, Arlen will watch and see what may become of this-- whatever this will become. ❝ I suppose I shall leave that to your decision. ❞ When the other hung around his neck like this, a specific reason didn't exactly will itself to his mind. Whether it's a mistake to flash an equally provocative grin or not doesn't cross his mind at the moment-- it's merely hazed as those eyes peer back to his own.

#mxrtem #[ tests out more icon stuffs ]#[ also 8))) ]

( mr. sutcliff ):

normally, the crimson reaper would not even bother with a human, angelina being the only exception— until now. arlen was different, grell still wasn’t quite sure if he would even categorize the other with humans. perhaps he wouldn’t prove to be a mistake.

❝ darling, it’s what keeps life interesting. nothing is fun without at least a little danger. i myself am more than d a n g e r o u s. ❞

head tilting upward, he leaned forward just enough to ghost a flirty kiss along the other’s cheek.

❝ but you— are you willing to put yourself at risk to be close enough to flirt with death itself? after all, humans are fragile little things. ❞

❝ Yet you do not show it. ❞ There is no doubt that man showed interesting prospects, mostly of a sinister nature, but as much as he spoke of them, none were practiced upon the likes of himself. It's reasonable to conclude that he is an exception of sorts, but for whatever reason; it is difficult to decide as to why this is. Surely the other's infatuation cannot solely be based on his appearance.. ❝ Death.. does not frighten me. If death's personification is someone such as yourself, then I have very little to fear. ❞ Actually; since not much is known to him about this person whatsoever, this is something he cannot say with absolute certainty.. but the affectionate peck placed upon his cheek is enough to assure him for now--- or is it? ❝ —why did you kiss me? ❞

#mxrtem #[ no p not ]

( mr. sutcliff ):

for a moment, the reaper faced a flash of the last human he’d come to adore, a flash of crimson red. it brought a threatening sense of hesitation to the surface, although he willed it away as fast as it came. a smirk came to toy at his lips, fingertips daring to dance along the other’s chest.

❝ perhaps, but i happen to be rather enticed by d a n g e r. ❞

Ahh-- he can feel it. He's already managed to say something wrong, however true it might be. Humans do not last forever, yet at the same time, he does not know if this applies to himself or not. Life and time have both flown by so damn quickly that he's managed to lose track of how old he is--- one-hundred? Three? All he knew was that with each and every true year that passed, he had stopped physically growing. ❝ Are you so sure? ❞ He does not pull away from the touch.. yet is perplexed by it at the same time. If an assumption can be made about ' reapers ', it is that they too live for quite some time--- has he not been hurt by outlasting something as f r a g i l e as a human?

#mxrtem #[ bECOMES SAD-- ]

( mr. sutcliff ):

❝ if that is how you wish to take it. what will you do about it if i am, hm? ❞

the smile he wore radiated flirtation, a playful sort of challenge to his tone as mischief danced within malachite optics. of course he thought the other as far from dull, that’s what attracted him. —aside from the good looks.

❝ why of course it does, i could never imagine being anything less. ❞

❝ I would be compelled to disagree-- naturally. ❞ Actually-- he's quite sure a gifted human like himself is the furthest thing from boring. An ordinary being given extraordinary qualities, yet no one even knew.. How enchanting. There's only one more he's met with a similar ability to himself, and he is quite.... interesting. ❝ Hm.. It is better not to. Humans are fickle and temporary. Befriending one is quite dangerous. ❞

#mxrtem #[ :I #fav icon tbh ]

( mr. sutcliff ):

❝ indeed i am not, i would be quite offended if you thought of me as such a boring being. ❞

the smirk that crept upon his lips was mischievous, as dangerous looking as his inhumanly sharp teeth. what was he? well, how does one explain that they are d e a t h i t s e l f?

❝ i happen to be a death god, or as you humans have fancied calling it— a grim reaper. ❞

❝ Is this your way of implying that I am also dull? ❞ Not a trace of offense may be found upon his face. It's true-- most humans were rather mundane but there are always those that surprise him. After all; he isn't an ordinary human, himself. Eyes display intrigue upon hearing the announcement--- a death god? ❝ The title suits you, I believe. ❞

‘ Such a weak lie. ’

This human was unaware, but attentive. It would not be long before he was discovered, but seeing the look of fear was always —————-amusing.

❝ Oh? Is it? ❞ There isn't much he can do. Either way; it is better to be safe than sorry. Death isn't in his midst--- not today. ❝ I'm certain you are unafraid of any consequence, anyway. ❞
