Maybe the Media Overlord would have expected kindness for returning him to water, but instead Zaphiel swam closer to the glass, fist slamming into the smooth surface.
"I CAN'T LEAVE FOR 24 HOURS NOW."
โ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐พ๐จ๐ฐโ โ
He didn't get a chance to finish; once his back hit the water and he sank down, all six of his "wings" unfurled, stabilizing him. Turning, he looked towards the glass.
Shok.wave moved closer and looked at him with his glowing eyes as he noticed that it wasn't food this time around and with a humming low growl he greeted him.
"He will never hurt you Zapp my dear, you belong to me and so he also belongs to you as well. "
"Heh, or I might just be planning..."
Grabbing his arm he made him spin around letting him get close to his face that was the screen.
"I guess I have no choice but to let you stay, it makes us have more...alone time hehehe." (+)
He looked at his partner, a sad smile flashing over his features.
"I'm guessing Val ripping your head off really did a reset on your attitude, hm?"
Chuckling, he turned back, swaying slightly, his โ>.
With an elegant move as if he had done it many times before he backed off closer to the aquarium window and with a powerful swing he threw him out the window into the tank. (+)
Looking at him with a serious composition he knew the feeling he was probably talking about, a feeling that you would do almost anything just to be free.
Walking out from the bed he took a hold of him embracing him before he looked at him. (+)
that's ever respected meโฆloved me."
Pausing, he finally stood up and began to slide the suit coat slit over the dorsal fin before fastening it in the front.
"I want to spend days with you. I don't want all this; I hate itโฆ I hate themโฆ"
Standing in his office he looked at the aquarium outside his window and the flickering screens within the room.
Ever sense that day, he had been within the shadows and that's were he found me, at my breaking point, Zaphiel was the one to bring me from the abyss...
"Hey, you know I cant let you risk being hurt can I, what kind of partner would that make me, I might be a sinner, but I do care you know..."
Lifting up his head he looked into his dark eyes.
"From two worlds we found each other, I will wait on you until you can return."
For a moment Zaphiel didn't respond; instead, he simply burrowed his head into Vox's chest.
He could feel his gills quivering, a sign he was dangerously close to not being able to hold his breath anymore.
"To closeโฆ"
"Hahaha, me being redeemed, I don't think so, that's her stupid dreams, fun to see the failures. "
Looking rather smug he chuckled as he remembered her desperate reaction around the time he was there to vittnes such event that had totally failed in the end.
Zaphiel's frown deepened; was that jealousy creeping across his grey features?
Tail thwapping against Vox's leg, he huffed.
"Mhmโฆand why would you ever want to redeem?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, claws tracing the front of the sinner's suit.
Smiling he was comfortable in the bed and with a relaxed sigh he looked at his watch.
"Hmm, how long has it been? Is it getting closer?"
Shifting around he looked at him liking the closeness of his body.
A content sigh left the seraphim's lips, arms wrapping tighter around @Est_Infernum as he did so; he shifted slightly in the bed.
He didn't want to get up, but he knew 24 hours was getting close.
"Hah...she's so... I don't know..look at her stupid face...she's so..she's so pitiful.. like..."
Looking at his phone he showed him the picture he had for her profile picture and he then made a deep sigh as he put it away again.
"Punishment you say.."
He paused upon hearing that, pushing himself away slightly from Vox; his frown deepening.
"Right, the princess's silly passion project. Punishments are meant to remind those of what they have doneโฆthis whole redeeming business is like a slap on the wristโฆโ
"Well...we should take over the heavens as well, being new gods, haha."
Taking his long braid he looked at the accessories.
"You know, I wonder what would happen if I ever get to be redeemed...that... princess... believes everyone can..."
โThey prefer to have us there Sparks, I wish they didnโt Iโd rather not go.โ
Frowning he rose from his seat and sat down in his partners lap, golden digits tracing the edges of his screen.
"Hmm,can't you like stream a call, let's say a digital meeting, that's easier to handle, I personally do that all the time."
Circling around with his hand as he spoke he crossed his legs as he watched them."
Sighing, he leaned back into his chair, dark eyes squinting as he watched the little sea life float above the glass ceiling.
"Mmโฆ if it were that easy, I would; unfortunately, they'd know it wasn't meโฆ"
"Hehe, we should make a decoy that can take your place for a little while, be rebellious just for fun."
He chuckled as he rolled his chair next to Zaphiel's.
Zaphiel turned away from the window of his office overlooking the drop-off into the trench, abyssal eyes falling upon his demonic partner.
Sighing, he moved in silence to a nearby chair and plopped down.
"I wish I didn'tโฆbut I am a SeraphimโฆI still have my duties.."
"Hey Zappy, do you really have to attend that meeting?"
Vox looked at him while he tapped his little pointing stick on his own shoe while he sat down in a chair.
Bubbles floated up from the gills on his neck; itโd been many years at this point since anyone of his fellow angels had even bothered to remember his existenceโฆeven the new ones failed to realize he was even real.
Heโd been dreading attending the meeting in heaven all dayโฆ
Blushing real quickly on his cheeks he then shake his head as to get rid of it.
"Eh, hell isn't the nicest place is it..."
He tapped his fingers on Zaphiels chest.
"You know a pin shark would look great on your suit."
Zaphiel smiled pulling Vox closer, Abyssal eyes slowly moving over his screen.
โYou know, that smile reminds me of when you first fell.
And itโs always had me curiousโฆwhat happened to that Vox?โ
"Well, I got a little carried away I suppose hehe, I am a good actor aren't I, heheh"
Smiling back at him he got a little playful hint on his expression, a more innocent look that he had more in his younger years as a sinner.
Rolling his eyes, Zaphiel wrapped his arms around Voxโs shoulders. Sharkish grin widened as he pulled the demon closer.
โAlright Flat face, you can drop the act, canโt a Seraphim come see his partner without a reason?โ ~
