Angel Beats

Chapter 1 : But I Refuse!

Gab was totally broke today. She blew her savings up for that pack on the gacha game. Knowing her sister Zelel keeping an eye somewhere, she just couldn't bullshit the heaven directors into increasing her stipends like the last time. Forget about whaling another pack—she barely had enough just to buy cup ramen.

Since the second day of her part time job already ended, she had no more ways to procure money. Working one more day wasn't an option since she got to do some more grinding and gaming to catch up.

"...god dammit, I truly couldn't stop spending, even though I know my team was still going to be shit anyway compared to those mega-whales."

At least the hero skins from whaling were cute, she thought.

The day was extremely hot and it made her impulsive desires ran amok. Her room smelled and looked like a pile of garbage; she felt sick and nauseous as if she was about to collapse from the toxic environment.

...with all haste, she packed the necessary belongings and went to Vigne's place.

"Oi Vigne, I'm staying in until my aircon's patched up."

It was a call in the middle of night; Vigne herself had suffered from a kind of insomnia, which was alleviated somewhat by counting all those little Gab's. Kinda ironic how the one who made her sleep actually busted up her z's. Hearing her phone's ringing amidst her sleep made her frantically fell from her bed, picking up her mobile with hurting tussles.

Normally she would just nonchalantly pick up the phone and replied in a sleepy voice, but since she kinda tried counting the cute Gabs, the out-of-blue ringing made her jump outta embarrassment. As if being caught up red-handed doing whatever incriminating.

"...ouch...for goodness sake, Gab! Do you know what time is this?"

"11:30 PM, did you forget the clock on your phone?"

Gab was quite punctual about the time, especially in gaming. She remembered where the 2x EXP and 2x Gold happy hours, and also the daily reset for the game and the events. There were a lot more she took note of but let's just leave the small details aside.

"Why you...%%!$!%%!%"

A beeping sound could be heard on both sides.

"Stop cursing so much, it made you sound like a demon, you know?"

"I am a demon!"

It was Gab who inserted the beeping sound just at the perfect timing as Vigne was about to rant her thoughts out. The slob angel was tired as heaven and the last thing she wanted to hear was her friend's complaints.

That last jab felt good to her funny bone though.

"Whatever, I'm tired."

The slob angel ended up the call just like that. Thinking she had given up, Vigne went back to sleep and this time set her phone to silent mode. Tomorrow was a day-off and she wanted to make sure she slept plenty to get the most energy for next day.

The test period was finally over and she wanted to go shopping and have lots of fun to release all that pent-up stress from pulling all-nighters. Gab of course, wouldn't really bother unless Vigne bugged her more often than the spam mails she received.

During this time Gab was usually grinding on her games but from walking to Vigne's apartment room at night—totally not attracting lolicons—she felt so dead tired. Carrying around her rucksack containing her laptop, clothing and bathroom amenities, she nonchalantly inserted the dupe key she ordered in secret and walked in, just like her own place.

As she left her slippers in the doorway and locked the entrance back, she felt such euphoric feeling. The nice and clean air as opposed to her abomination of apartment room; the chilly breeze from aircon; the neatness of the place which gave a calming sensation. Regardless about her preference living in somewhere clean and fresh, she was too busy to tidy up due to school and work but mostly games.

If Vigne was her wife, she would make meals for her each day. As compared to those stale-tasting convenience store delicacies she had gotten bored of, it would be something edible at the least. She would clean up her room and there's no perverted stuff to be found since it was all stored on her laptop—nothing to be embarrassed about. She would do all the chores and help with her homework every single day.

"No way in heaven."

The slob angel snorted at such idea. She thought, sure Vigne was cute, good at housework and reliable, but!

Thinking 'bout it once more, she just couldn't handle the constant yelling.

Amidst her exhaustion, she opened up the bathroom door and took some shower, shamelessly using the hot water and soap that Vigne used every day.

Feeling refreshed after a bath and borrowing Vigne's towel (she actually brought her pajamas), Gab checked her fridge to see most of it weren't instant foods. Rumbling noise echoed from her stomach; filled with hopelessness until she latched her sight to a delicious-looking chocolate pudding.

"Oh well, Vigne would end up giving it to me anyway."

Without any tinge of guilt, she ate a whole portion and threw the rest to the garbage bin. As for washing teeth, she didn't have money to buy a toothbrush and forgot to bring it from her place, she just borrowed her friend's mouthwash and gargled a bit.

In the middle of night, Gab wanted to grind some MMO again, also—somehow Vigne changed her wi-fi password so she couldn't get in.

She realize she hadn't filled out her mobile data charges for the gacha game either.

"...Vigne...why are you so demonic to me."

That's not her fault, but at least Gab was right on her being a demon. Actually some thought changing wi-fi passwords at a regular interval would increase the security.

"Hmm...I really want to wake her up so I could ask the password but, wouldn't she be upset and won't tell me that way? Oh well, at least tomorrow's a day off, I can grind all day at her place."

Actually, her proposition earlier didn't have any slightest thought of being sensible. It was actually all to benefit herself alone. She never thought of being a burden for visiting late at night, or even the possibility of being reported to police for making a key forgery without the owner's permission.

Feeling like sleeping early (although it's a bit past midnight), Gab went to Vigne's bedroom. She made sure to open it with delicate motions as not to allow any creaking sound to form. Pulling out a futon from her friend's drawer, also with practiced motions-the slob angel satisfied her quota of z's during the night.

Gab had a weird dream that night.

"One Vigne...two Vignes...three Vignes..."

They all ran around and jumped over a fence, which actually lead to a steep cliff. The entirety of them fell to the basin below and seemed to be enjoying their swim. Those Vignes joyfully shouted for the other to hurry up and dive in.

In her dreams, Gab was able to make one jab.

"What do you guys think these are! Swimming pool?"

To which replied by an irritated voice.

"...I could say the same as well. What do you think you're doing in my place..."

It was just few hours before dawn. The demon girl got little bathroom duties and she overheard the sleeptalk of Gab's.

Truth to be told, Vigne was a bit happy that slob angel she liked was actually sleeping beside her. Though, her way of entrance by calling in the middle of night and sneaking right after left a bad aftertaste. Her desires to scream on top of her lungs were present, but she didn't want to wake up the neighbors.

Even if it's during the day, Vigne totally didn't want to yell and trouble the quiet, peaceful neighborhood. What a good girl—she's a demon though.

"Damn it Vigne...as I was saying before, my air conditioner broke. I really couldn't sleep. When I called, you just hung up. What am I supposed to do then—sleep outside?"

Looking at her friend being all battered up and drowsy, Vigne was riddled with guilt.

"You could just be little nicer when asking...I thought you're actually playing a prank back then."

"How rude, I'm actually serious."

It was a tired, monotonous voice that seemingly had cut itself from the real world.

"What level of serious?"

"Like during a limited time legend item drop and I would try to get it even if there's an exam in the next day!"

A hedonistic individual that engrossed herself in MMOs.

"Ahaha...I get it, but please don't slack off during your exam. If your grades were bad, the heavens might reduce your stipends."

"Aww crap."

Less stipends mean less spending on her favorite games. Even if she didn't give a damn about a nuke being dropped to this country once more, if it would mean the reduce of monthly allowances—it'd be terrifying for her.

"That to be said, you're the ones who like to spend your time in private, right? The usual you would have comfortably holed in that shipwreck of a place indefinitely. What's on your mind right now?"

Gab thought: Vigne was unusually sharp today.

"The truth is, well..."

Just few hours after midnight, Vigne didn't realize her usual sleep schedule was screwed up due to her friend's problem. She might had to re-arrange her usual schedule and might actually stay home all day.

"Gab, I kinda see that thing coming. I could understand if one was sick or had something need fixing urgently—but, broke due to blowing your savings on games?"

"Don't look down on those 'games'! They're a part of my grand plan to save humanity."

"Well, you couldn't expect to save humanity if you kept relying on me to save you. It's not my place to judge your tastes but, how about doing more work at Master's place? Your current portion was only two days a week—if you're working three days or even all weekday, I think you could cover up for this month."

Master was the caretaker of Angel coffee shop in which Gab worked part time.

"No way! Just two times a week was already cutting a lot of my grinding time—all weekday? Are you joking, Vigne?"

"Stop being so childish Gab. Did you think those money would just came in from the sky or something—oh wai-"

Since she came from the heavens, in which commonly known location was the sky, it wasn't wrong to say her money came from there.

"I will stop being childish. Please lend me some money..."

"How about trying to repay back those you owe from months ago?"

"...but I already told you I'm broke..."

"Here I was being so kind as to give you a simple solution. Being in a debt continually and not even in a fit position to repay it was a big no—you're still a high schooler, even. Besides, there's got to be a way to enjoy games without having to spend that much money, right?"

"Please, Vigne—enough. Stop lecturing me. I've already had enough of it when I came home, from my sister—my parents—everyone really like to think like they know the best for me."

Vigne thought: Gab was really unreasonable and selfish—she truly thought the world revolved around her. Even no matter how much people might condemn her, she was still so headstrong on the road of self-destruction.

"So, if all of us are wrong, what do you think is the best? Is just going your way in life without a care like that, the ones you want?"

"..."

Gab laid down there silently in bed, turning her face away from the one questioning. Vigne let her be and went back to bed as well.

"I guess I really shouldn't pressure her too much. I knew she was freeloading, but that didn't get me any right of that sort. Maybe I should apologize tomorrow."

At that moment, Vigne firmly decide to abandon all schedule for the sake of helping her friend. To her, helping others was not only a noble cause, but a meaningful way to become satisfied with herself.

Xxx

Vigne couldn't sleep well that night. Gab's snoring was so loud it managed to wake her up many times. Checking the fridge for a late-snack-she found her precious pudding was gone. Not to mention, there were signs of her mouthwash and bathroom amenities being used without a care.

She couldn't even form the words to express her irritation. All of those desire to help her friend seem to left the door. Now she was thinking how to punish that shameless angel, should she call Raphi in secret? Knowing her, she wouldn't care if it didn't amuse her anyway.

Though, being the dutiful girl she was, something more important came to mind.

"What should I do...I need to clean my bedroom."

After cleaning the living room, bathroom, doing the laundry per-se, guess the one's left was just this place. The reason being:

That morning, when she woke up-Gab was still snoring deeply in her futon. Even if suicide bombing happened few meters away, it probably wouldn't faze her. Now, as Vigne went back from usual weekend cleanup, the said angel was sleeping in her own bed. The futon she slept on was in a messy state, though as a consolation, when Vigne came to her—she smelled rather nice.

"...you pervert.."

This time, the demon girl wasn't sure if it was another sleeptalk or yet more attempts at pulling her leg. Trying her best not to pay any heed to these words, she opt to wake her up.

"Oi, Gab...Gab!"

Vigne waved her hands back and forth above the slob angel's face. Normally she thought it would be something impolite to do while said party were asleep, but she needed to do at least this much, lest the bedroom wouldn't get any cleaning. Who knows how long did the angel would hibernate on weekends.

Seeing as her friend was really gung-ho 'bout MMOs, and recently picked it up herself (part of it was to learn how to rehabilitate Gab though) Vigne thought, it might be best to think various impetus in which a hardcore player would woke up upon hearing.

"Gab, the legendary item drop rate was up today, please wake up!"

"Oh shut it, you noob. It was one week ago, and you need to spend at least $ xx to get the raid key for the dungeon through the mileage, in which the boost was only available. Or if you're lucky you might get it through the special item pulls. Either way, the dungeon was solo only, no bringing veterans to boost yourself, it's far above your game. Stay F2P and git gud first."

"...this kind of talk was really beyond my game..."

Well, who knows if they're talking about the same game. Vigne was just playing it at most one hour whenever she felt like it, starting from one week ago. Though, rather than doing quests or grinding, Vigne was busy helping people with their homeworks in chat, seriously.

That's how she got quite a few gifts and invited to a guild despite being a low ranker.

That aside, after one failed attempt of persuasion, Vigne tried more lines which would rouse the interest in a lot of gamers—though, the slob angel was still asleep.

"I gave up, in the first place—she didn't really have to wake up. I just need to move her from the bed. Upsy-"

"Ahhhnnn..."

Just as the demon girl tried to touch her friend, she let out a really erotic moan.

In which made her grip loosen at once; the slob angel fell once more to her comfy bed.

"Gab...that was just too obvious of you, just—w-what are you planning! I...uh really have no interest in this...mind you...please wake up."

One might wonder when did Vigne actually notice Gab faking her sleeping—maybe it's after she went out to do some cleaning. If so, was the slob angel actually capable to rise early? Who knows, pinch situations might awaken her hidden potential.

"...I'm an innocent angel...please don't tempt me into darkness..."

"I really have no idea what you're talking about. In the first place, aren't you the one trying to tempt me? Geez, I merely lifted you up since I need to clean the bed. Go sleep in the living room or something..."

"...you know you want me...and taint me...ahh...so good..."

It was somehow clear that she's been faking it, but her words of ecstasy was genuine. There was a clear hint of lust and desire in those moans; it made Vigne froze in place, unable to fathom anything.

Few moments pass with the angel subtly grinding her crotch against the pillow, and panting sounds went lewder before it came to a halt...

"Geez, Vigne! Why can't you take a hint? I was bearing down all my shameful side to you—to think even after going so far, you still wouldn't do anything—are you really a demon?"

Though, the said demon was nowhere to be found in her room. She just stood behind the door as Gab moans with all the lust she could muster. At some point the slob angel even took out her clothes and began to finger her honey pot, also fondling her chest—but with no witness in sight, it's probably not the most effective approach—or not.

Meanwhile, Vigne stood behind the door, listening to all those noises of desire, and when her name was called—a strange sensation ran through her spine. The ever so innocent demon girl had her heart thumping at such sudden action, now it felt like her chest was going to burst.

It was a bit late when she notice the stain on her undergarments...

She was amazingly wet down there.

Vigne really didn't understand what's the cause of it. As a good girl with a honest upbringing—she was far detached from sexual thoughts. She never actually took a glance of those pornographic materials—even the act of masturbation was unknown to her. Seeing her friend acting lewd out of blue had awakened something weird, and she felt some new, pent-up urge.

She had to release it, but how?

Thinking the situation was going to be awkward in the bedroom, she completely forego the notion of cleaning at the moment. Though, before she tried to scurry off somewhere, the door opened up.

"...we need to talk."

Gab came in from the opened door with a deep-red face like she's about to cry.

Xxx

"That was the most outrageous excuse I've heard coming from you."

The slob angel told Vigne, she was meant to seduce her earlier. By owing her sexual favors, it might help on trying to get her to annul the debt, in addition of bringing another cue to borrow.

"...please, I won't squander cash again on games...I'm just strappin' for dosh this time."

"For goodness sake, Gab. You're an angel—if I accepted, your entire future would go through the window. How could you possibly ask someone to ruin your life?"

"...cuz it's you, it wouldn't be something impure and dirty—that's only if I sold my service to an old man I didn't even knew and love. We angels held the repayment of favors and promise as a virtue; on top of that, we coined the idea of loving one another—ain't that killing two birds with one stone? Besides, in the demon side, it could be seen as tainting a pure angel—something pretty demonic, both of us would receive increase in stipends that way. "

What pure angel? What part of you is pure? Thought Vigne. All of that aside, Gab's logic by itself was something too outrageous to be acceptable by normal folks. What kind of things she'd been eating lately? Was her outburst of insanity caused by cup ramen overdose?

"Whoa...you're way more rotten than I thought, Gab."

"Well, it only works if the love is mutual though. Vigne, do you love me? I'll love you as much as you want if it can get my debts clear."

"L-l-like hell I would love someone like you...besides, even the heavens would know, your love for me was impure with ulterior motives."

"Oh?" Gab began to make a smug expression, "Don't you see how shamefully I moaned earlier? I wouldn't even do it to a person I dislike, even if I would die from it! You also seem to enjoy it, don't you think—you pervert demon..."

"I-I'm not a pervert!"

"I was feeling kinda funny myself, and you look mighty drenched down here, so why don't we say—just relieve ourselves—and yeah, please forget about my debts."

The slob angel pointed at Vigne's thighs, in which flowed down quite good amounts of love juice. The person herself pretended not to notice it though.

"Isn't working honestly the best option though—my heart, really wasn't ready for this."

The demon girl's complexion got even worse, and unlike Gab who kept her composure on—she was feeling all fidgety and started to grind her legs together.

"...Vigne, do you even know how to relieve yourself of this condition?"

"Huh? O-of course it's no problem, hahaha!"

"...listen there, you know who I am. I really couldn't put in more effort. Just working two times a week already had taken its toll. I never would go the extra mile if it was for someone else, but if it's you—I think it would be the best thing to do."

"I...really don't think the heavens would listen to those convenient logic you proposed earlier."

"...I don't care...either way. I was in my most vulnerable and pathetic condition, won't you try giving hand in a way that could actually help me...down there?"

"..."

Realizing the innuendo for the first time, Vigne's face went deep-red. She backed to a wall and began to wonder if Gab was starting to corrupt her, or she's secretly had a lewd side in herself all along.

Staring at the demon girl's defenseless position, even while against the wall, Gab had her eyes filled with desire, to make love—but more to make excuse for debt repayments.

"Don't run away. It's always you who said to me, not to back off from reality."

The slob angel went to a 'kabedon' position, with her right hand against the wall and her left hand on Vigne's back, gently stroking it—in which the beholder started making erotic noises without realizing beforehand.

Even with her friend being taller than her, she still exhibits the presence of being the 'top' in this case. The demon girl's eyes went teary due to all of the sudden development like this, and how they're just on the verge of doing it.

"If you really dislike me, well you can say so and we won't have to do it. I wouldn't bother you any longer—if that's what you prefer."

"...Gab, you're so unfair."

"Life is unfair. Now, Vigne...you want to do it with me or not?"

Seeing as her friend were too fluster to make up an answer, her smile went wider, akin to acquiring total triumph.

"Is it really a hard choice, eh? Think again to what you made me ponder last night...just because you're so petty 'bout mone-"

"...I really don't mind doing it with you, Gab."

"Ehh...ehhh?"

"...I mean, it's not like I was lewd or anything—uh...I just felt funny down there without knowing how to abate this condition. I figure that, you've gotta take responsibility...please? Besides, seeing you going through a lot of effort to come this far, I felt bad for not following through with you. It's something mutual for both of us, no single reason to hold back."

The innocent expression of hers, with the nonchalant gesture of putting her hands to partly cover her lips, it made Gab let out blood from her nose.

At first she just thought, since Vigne wasn't knowledgeable about that stuff, it would be fun to get back at her through sexual harassment—but she never thought her friend could be this assertive.

As if some switch had been flipped when Gab proposed to do it with her, coupled with all of previous stimulation earlier-Vigne restrained the little angel with surprising strength.

"You're definitely not being honest. For a joke, it's totally not funny. If you keep this up, it will just hurt us both, you know? Heavens are hell will be mad. Now please be a good angel and fulfill your promise. I will just forget our debt—not like you'll ever pay anyway."

This time Gab was the one showing her vulnerable form, with redness that filled her entire face and an expression akin to accepting the final judgment. Add that with loli features of her, she looked incredibly adorable just now, to Vigne at least.

"W-wait a second...are you really Vigne? The one I knew wouldn't be this direct and lewd..."

"...since I'm inexperienced, please take care of me...Gab..."

"Hey! I haven't got any experience of that sort...at least with others anyway...no, stop...Vigne..hey!"

You reaped what you sowed. Well, this would prove that the slob angel had a good amount of sex appeal and she could push the buttons of her innocent girl and turn her wild.

Not bad, Gab.

"Why are you saying, not bad! It's your fault my chasity is at sake here...I don't mind if it's with Vigne though..."

Now that you asked for it, the scene will be on the next chapter.

Thanks for reading so far. Still, for the prelude of it to take about 4000+ words, it must be that long of a foreplay huh?

Don't mind me, I still haven't done a lot of this stuff.

'til next time.
