The car ride to Kise's home was completely silent. No one was sure what to say around Kise, and he didn't seem to care. The blond man welcomed the quiet atmosphere of the car. It was a nice change from the chaotic hell he'd been in the past few weeks. Kise truly didn't want anyone to speak any words anyway, and it wasn't like he could respond at that moment. He was still too shaken up and was hesitant to believe he really was saved. He'd dreamed about being saved for the whole time he was there, so it would take a minute for him to honestly realize this was really happening.

The drive wasn't too far to Kise's house, so the time spent outside in a vehicle was short. Kasamatsu was thankful for that because he'd begun to feel anxious finally. He didn't want to be out in the open and hoped that at Kise's home he'd feel safer. He knew that he'd been there before, not because he remembered but because of his feelings towards the thought. Therefore, Kasamatsu felt he would indeed feel safer there in the home of Kise.

He was correct, of course. As soon as he entered Kise's mansion, the anxiety fell away, leaving a safe and familiar sense behind.

"Kise, you go get cleaned up. We're going to talk to Kasamatsu for a bit." Kagami told the blond gently, well as gently as he could.

"...Sure..." Kise quickly disappeared with Aomine following after him.

"Why's he going with him?" Kasamatsu questioned, confused.

"To make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

"Oh, I see..."

"So, anyway... I have to tell you something." Kagami paused to think over if he wanted to continue or not but ultimately decided to keep talking. "Daiki and I aren't human. He's a demon and I'm an angel." Kasamatsu just stared at Kagami. He clearly didn't believe him at all. So, Kagami began to glow. His eyes glowed bright red and then pure white angel wings unfolded from behind him.

Seeing this change shocked Kasamatsu. He was completely frozen as he stared at the obvious angel. He wasn't sure how to react now and so he just stood there for a few minutes and listened to Kagami speak again.

"So you see, I'm an angel. Ryouta is too." Now that the proof was revealed, Kagami changed back to normal. He no longer glowed and looked as he did, like he was a complete human.

"If you're an angel, why couldn't you have saved Kise sooner?"

"Kirai, the woman, blocked hers and Ryouta's presences from all of us. So we kept watch over you in hoped you'd lead us to him. We even helped heal you to quicken the process after you got shot."

"...Well thank you for that, I guess."

"Listen, right now Kise's powers are locked away. He'll be angelic again soon, but until then, can you watch over him? We trust you. Plus, even though you don't remember him, you two mean a lot to each other. So...please..."

"Of course. I always intended on taking care of him. I think it will help my memories come back."

"I don't want him here." The two turned to look at Kise, who was in the entryway of the room. He clearly wasn't cleaned up yet or anything, so they were confused to why he was just standing there listening in on their conversation.

"You'll suck it up and get over it. I'm taking care of you." Kasamatsu snapped at the wounded blond. Kise flinched at the angry tone and glared at Kasamatsu.

"Whatever..." Kise then sulked off, most likely returning to the bathroom to finally get cleaned up.

"Listen Kasamatsu... be nice to him. He'll need a lot of support. It's clear he's gone through a lot." Kagami informed the human once Kise was out of earshot.

"...I know..." The human felt bad about snapping at the broken angel now, not that he would honestly admit that out loud.

"Hey, he's in the shower now. Make sure you keep an eye on him." Aomine demanded as he entered the room the other two were talking in.

"I will."

"Well then, we'll see you later. We'll check back in eventually." With that, the two men left the residence, leaving Kasamatsu alone with Kise.

Kasamatsu had to sit down on a couch after they left. He was getting overwhelmed by the demon and angel information, causing his head to hurt. He believed it but was confused. It truly felt like he'd already known it all at one point. He was sure he did know, he just was still all worked up over it.

"Is everything okay?" Before Kasamatsu had known it, Kise entered the room silently and just stared hesitantly at the human. It was like he could tell that Kasamatsu's mind was in turmoil.

Kasamatsu jumped and stood up from the couch he sat on. He'd been caught off guard, not only by Kise talking but then also by his looks. The angel had cut his hair just a little too short and uneven as hell. His clothes were baggy and while he looked clean, he still seemed to be dirty. It was due to the wounds he still had.

"Are you okay?" Kasamatsu countered clearly concerned.

"...I'm better but tired... Anyway, if you're determined to stay, I'll take you to your room." Kise walked off, leaving Kasamatsu with no choice but to chase after him. He was led to a room that felt familiar. "This is where you stayed last time you were here."

"I see, thank you."

"Goodnight." Kise entered the room right next to Kasamatsu's and instantly fell into bed, while Kasamatsu entered his room and just stood there.

There were his own personal items in the room mixed with another person's. Kasamatsu was curious about it but was more exhausted than that. So, he decided to just go to bed. He also wanted to talk to Kise more but settled for talking after they were both rested. He had a feeling that Kise needed the rest anyway.

"Ahh! Get away! Stay back!" Kasamatsu shot up in bed and looked around confused. It took him a moment to register that it was Kise screaming in his room next door. So not wasting any time, Kasamatsu ran out of his room and into Kise's. The angel was all alone, thankfully, but was thrashing around in his bed as he screamed out.

"Kise! It's okay!" Kasamatsu called out as he raced to his side. He shook the blond, trying to wake him up. "Kise, it's alright. You're home now!"

"Kasamatsu?!" Kise's eyes fluttered open long enough to register the human, but then he closed them and was sitting up with his arms around the human. Kasamatsu had no choice but to hold Kise as he cried and clung to him.

"Shh... You're safe now..." Kasamatsu whispered soothing words into Kise's ear, trying to help calm the angel. It took a few moments, but eventually, the sobbing stopped.

All of a sudden, Kasamatsu was lying on the ground. The reason to that was Kise. The angel had shoved him away, hard.

"What are you doing?! I told you to stay away from me!" Kise growled loudly at the human, which slightly frightened Kasamatsu.

"You were screaming in your sleep... I just wanted to..." Kasamatsu wasn't sure what to say, but it didn't matter. The angel climbed off the bed and pushed past him as he ran out of the room. "Did I make it worse?"

He already knew he had, so he figured he should leave Kise be for a little while. However, Kasamatsu got a bad feeling when he thought of what the angel could do when all alone, so he went looking for him. It took a half hour, but eventually, he found Kise. The angel was hiding in the kitchen in one of the pantries, shivering and crying.

"Stay away from me!" Kise yelled as he scooted back from Kasamatsu.

"I won't touch you. Just come out." When Kise didn't make a move, Kasamatsu began to speak again. "You know, since we're both awake, I'll make us some food. I'm sure you're hungry." Kasamatsu left the pantry open as he began to collect items he needed to feed Kise and himself.

Eventually, Kasamatsu had all of the equipment he needed and the ingredients to use. He took a few minutes to cook and then served the food up. At first, Kise didn't come out but after about 5 minutes, Kasamatsu watched as he scurried to his food. He sat at the table as Kasamatsu stood at the counter.

Kise messily and quickly ate his food, nearly causing himself to throw up due to his speed. Once his food was done, he turned to look to Kasamatsu's food. So, the human slowly walked over and gave Kise his share of food as well. As soon as he had the okay, Kise ate the new food in front of him.

"Do you want more? I can make you anything you want." Kasamatsu offered, but the angel shook his head.

"Thank you, but I'm fine."

"Alright..." Kasamatsu was hesitant but he needed to ask the question that's been in his head since he first saw Kise, from what he remembered. He knew the angel wouldn't like it, but it was important for Kasamatsu to know. "Kise... What happened to you while you were with that girl?" The angel nearly choked on the food he was eating but quickly recovered. Instead of responding right away, the angel continued to eat his food more slowly than he was before. He clearly wanted to eat rather than talk at that moment. "Kise, please."

"Why?" Kise finally asked once his food was all gone.

"I need to know so I can help you."

"You're already being nicer than usual. What more can you do?"

"Don't change the subject. Tell me what happened!"

"You want me to tell you how I was beaten, cut up and starved whenever I refused to have sex with her?! How I was forced to do things I never wanted to do?! Or maybe how she told me you had abandoned me and never cared about me at all?! She also told me you died there! She tortured me physically and mentally!" Kise was sobbing by the end of the rant. Kasamatsu wasn't sure how to react, but he was sure he was pissed off. His blood was boiling and he wanted to murder someone.

"That bitch... how dare..." Kasamatsu growled brokenly as he slammed his hands down on the counter top.

"If you want her dead, you're in luck because she already is. Daiki killed her." Kise whispered to Kasamatsu as his sobs calmed down.

"I...I'm sorry..."

The two didn't talk after that, instead, they just separated. Kise went off to his room and Kasamatsu cleaned the kitchen.

That's how the next two days went. Kise would have nightmares and Kasamatsu would try to console him. Each reaction from Kise was calmer thankfully. Kasamatsu would feed Kise and they'd split up. Every so often though, they would talk or watch TV together. Kise still remained far from Kasamatsu, but the distance faded each time they interacted. Finally, the third day came and Kise felt different.

"Hey Kasamatsu, I think my angelic powers are coming back. I feel strange." Kise informed Kasamatsu as they ate breakfast. The angel was correct because all at once, his powers flooded back to him.

His eyes began to glow as his wounds and scars healed, along with his normal weight and hair returning. The only thing that didn't heal was his emotional and mental scars.

Along with Kise's powers, all of Kasamatsu's memories returned. He was hit with the good and bad things that have all happened to him. He remembered Midorima, Moriyama and all he'd learned in school. He even remembered his feelings for Kise.

All the memories caused Kasamatsu to begin to cry. He couldn't stop the tears as they fell, worrying Kise as they did so.

"Ka...Kasamatsu?" Kise hesitantly questioned, clearly not caring about his own change, but only his human's.

"I remember you again. I'm...so sorry I forgot."

"It... It's okay Kasamatsu. All that matters is you remember again."

With that, the two returned to their normal lives. Well, there were some differences. Kasamatsu now fully lived with Kise in Kazu's room. Other than that, things were how they once were. Kise became a model again and Kasamatsu went back to medical school.

There was another difference as well, however. Kasamatsu convinced Kise to go to a therapist to help with his emotional and mental wounds. It turned out they were able to find a demon who could be told the whole story and understand it. The lady helped a lot and with Kasamatsu's support, every day was easier.

Kise still couldn't be touched by anyone, but they knew one day he would be able to. Kasamatsu found some patience and didn't cause Kise to cry again after that first time, thankfully. The two were growing together and were happy once again, even though things weren't perfect just yet.
