Christmas. God damn Christmas.
Eve wasn't a fan of Christmas. Eve was a massive fan of New Years though. She liked starting anew. She was looking forward to New Years so she could forget what happened this year. Well, the bad parts of this year.
She was currently sitting on the couch wrapped in a massive blanket that dwarfed her body. She was also wearing one of Azazel's shirts, which also dwarfed her. She was watching a movie, 10 Inch Hero, one of her favorites. Halfway through the movie she decided on going to bed, it was nearly midnight after all.
Azazel had gone to bed a few hours earlier, he had come home from job searching and interviews and was exhausted. He finished his masters degree in physics the year before they were placed in the maze and never got the chance to find a place to work.
Eve, personally, was interested in the arts. She grew up around musical instruments and wanted to get into the Dome Symphony Orchestra. She was particularly good at the Violin and Cello.
Eve made her way into her and Azazel's room and found her way under the duvet. She pressed her face inbetween his shoulder blades, the place she knows he enjoys being touched, and spooned him from behind. She quickly drifted off into slumber.
Azazel was the first to wake up. He went to sit up but felt Eve holding him in a vice grip. He turned his head around to look at her. Eve looked slightly pale, and his shirt clung to her frame due to sweat. She had tear streaks running down her face and he felt that his back was wet. He sighed and pried Eve off of his torso. He turned around and held her close, it seemed like she was having a night mare. She seemed to be having quite a few of those lately, ever since Luka died.
He ran his fingers through her damp hair and she seemed to calm down slightly. She suddenly gasped and jumped up, head butting Azazel in the chin on her way up. They both groaned in pain and looked at eachother, Eve still half asleep. Azazel rubbed his chin and Eve, her head. Azazel felt something pooling in his mouth and placed a finger in his mouth the brought it back out to find that it had blood on it.
"Welp, that was rather sudden. Good morning, Evie. I guess you had a nightmare again?" She nodded and then pointed to him. "You okay, there's quite a bit of blood..." Azazel shrugged. "I'll be fine in a few minutes, it doesn't hurt much with the high pain tolerance and the fast healing thing." "Okay if you say so..." Eve still looked a little unsure, even if she knew that fact was true.
She got up and announced that she was going to have a shower before departing into the bathroom. Azazel lay in bed for a few minutes, possibly contemplating the apocalypse or aliens. He got out of bed and went into the kitchen to make poptarts. He unboxed the poptarts and put them in the toaster while he made himself and Eve a cup of coffee. Once the poptarts popped out he grabbed them, put them on a plate and carried it and his coffee to the lounge room. He then went back and carried Eve's coffee into the lounge room and placed it on the coffee table. He sat down and turned on the TV.
Eve walked into the louge room a few minutes later wearing a hoodie and jeans. She picked up her coffee and sat on the couch. She took a sip and leaned into Azazel's side. Azazel adjusted and put his arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer.
It was 5 days until Christmas. They had all planned on spending Christmas at Samson's house, seeming as it was the biggest and the quickest for everyone to get to. Eve was not looking forward to going.
The days in the lab were often filled with rebelion from the experiments. They often refused to do anything around Christmas. So they were punished, not in the most... acceptable of ways...
So Christmas wasn't overly happy for Eve.
It was Christmas eve. Azazel and Eve had packed the car and drove over to Samson and Sapphira's house. They walked up to the door with the bags of presents and knocked. Nearly immediately, Sapphira opened the door. "Hello! Come in!" She opened the door wider and we looked around the hall. So much silver, red, green and gold. So much tinsel. So many tiny Santa's and reindeer. It all screamed Christmas.
They walked over into the lounge and placed the presents under the tree. "Hey guys!" They both said. The rest of the group that were already there either waved or said hi. Azazel and Eve sat down next to Maggie and Cain. Eve turned to Maggie and looked at her stomach. "So, how is the baby going? Maggie smiled. "Well, we found out that it is gonna be a boy! So that is super exciting!" Eve was thrilled for her friend. "Really? That's great! You got a name for him yet?" Maggie shook her head. "We haven't been able to think of any yet. I still have a few months to go before I actually need to think." Eve hummed in agreement. "Hey Maggie, can we talk in private for a bit?" Maggie nodded. "Sure." They got up and left the room, leaving the boys alone. Sapphira and Valerie were playing in the corner.
The boys got into a circle and looked at eachother. "What do you think they're talking about?" Azazel asked. "I dunno. Maybe Eve is pregnant again and hasn't told anyone?" Cain suggested. "Or maybe she is asking if Maggie can be her bridesmaid for her and demon-boy's wedding?" Judas added.
"She already knows that. She literally texted Maggie yesterday about it." Azazel said. Samson walked over to the door and pressed his ear against it. He heard mumbling. "Wait guys, Eve is saying something about a big reveal or someshit like that." Azazel looked confused. "Big reveal? What about?" Samson listened again. "She says it's tonight and a massive hype and is hoping Maggie will keep the thing a secret. Maggie is squealing. She said... Oh god." "What? What is it?" Azazel demanded. Samson looked at him and gulped. "Mate, you're gonna be a Father."
Azazel went bug-eyed. "You serious?" "Deadly." Samson sat back down and a few seconds later the girls came back through the door, giggling. They noticed the boys near-shocked faces and Azazel with a slightly pale face. Eve sat next to Azazel and put a hand on his cheek. "You okay? What's wrong?" Azazel smiled and tears pricked his eyes. He pulled Eve close and chuckled. "Why didn't you tell me that you are pregnant?" Eve looked nervous. "H-How did you? I-I was gonna tell all of you tonight."
Azazel pulled away so he could see her eyes. He kissed her inbetween her eyes and smiled softly. "You sure you're ready to give this another shot? She nodded, tears beginning to appear in her own eyes. "I am. I won't transform this time. I'll transform now and then not again. I'll stay a demon so they can stay safe." Azazel looked confused. "They?" Eve giggled. "Oh didn't you hear? We're having twins."
Azazel held Eve at an arms-length . He scanned her face for any signs that she might be lying. "No joke?" Eve nodded. "No joke." Azazel let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and began to laugh, pulling Eve in closer. "Oh my god! You have no idea how happy this makes me! This means that they could both survive!" Eve looked a little confused. "How?" "It means that one is possibly mostly human and the other is possibly mostly demon. If you transform, they share the stress." Eve processed this before realising what it meant. They would both be safe, probably; so they probably don't have to die. Maybe.
Eve began to cry. Azazel looked a little worried. "My babies. I won't kill you now! You're safe. Mummy's got you! Nothing can hurt you now; not even me." Azazel chuckled and held her close. Everyone smiled and cheered, happy for them. They could finally know that Azazel and Eve will get their happy ending.
The night progressed slowly. They had a barbecue with sausages and beef patties and other such things. They put Valerie to bed and sat out the back with beer and vodka. Lazarus was on his third beer whilst everyone else was still on their first drink. "Lazarus, you should probably slow down a little." Isaac advised. Lazarus finished off his beer and reached for a fourth. "Never, you fuckin' blondie." Lazarus wasn't very pleasant around when drunk. He was often agressive, lashing out his feelings of anger towards the lab onto others.
Judas reached over and dragged the esky out of Lazarus's reach. Lazarus glared at him. "Oi! That's my beer!" He reached over, but lost balance and face planted into his boyfriend's chest. Judas quickly wrapped his arms around him so he couldn't escape. "Let go of me!" He thrashed a bit in his arms. "Can someone grab the esky and lock it? He can't have anymore beer." Eden grabbed the key from the table and locked the esky. He placed the key in a place that was too high for Lazarus to reach and sat back down.
Lazarus finally got out of Judas's grasp and ran towards where the key was. He was stopped by Samson who grabbed him, swung him over his shoulder and left him like that. "Okay, any ideas?" Judas shrugged. "We could just leave him like that. He's gonna pass out soon anyway. Give him five minutes at most. He'll pass out."
Judas was right. He passed out from being restrained and was then passed to Judas. "He will wake up in around 15 minutes with a headache at best. He doesn't respond well to alcohol." Judas said. "He also looks like he hasn't gotten enough sleep lately." Eve added. "Yeah. Nightmares about the lab again. He was hesitant to come to Christmas." Eve nodded in understanding.
Sapphira piped up. "What happened in the labs? I know my Mum worked with you when I was young but what actually happened?" Samson sighed. "I'm going to bed..." He got up and walked towards the door. "Samson-" He closed the door. Sapphira looked away from the door. "I'm gonna go check on him-" "Don't" Cain said. "He just needs to think it through."
Maggie leaned back against the seat, placing a hand on her stomach. "Many years ago, when we were young, we found out about Christmas from a conversation we overheard. We asked to experience Christmas, but were turned down. We all began to fight for Christmas, rebelling against the scientists. We were all punished differently. I used to be unbelievably flexible, but they severed most of my muscles in my back. Cain's leg and eye were removed in a brutal way. He was still concious while they did it, no pain meds.
Eve had a pet bird but was forced to eat the guts of it. Azazel had every bone in his wings smashed and his horn snapped. Judas and Lazarus were drained of most of their blood and Isaac was locked in solitary confinement for years."
Sapphira was ghost white. "What happened to Samson?" "He was forced to kill. His inhibitor was removed which dragged him into an unstable physical state." Sapphira felt tears in the corner of her eyes. "If I had known, I could have saved you all." She lifted her head and stormed into the house. "Sapphira!" The group called out.
She stomped down the hallway, tears now flowing down her cheeks. She was determined to help him. She needed to comfort him. She knocked on the door of their bedroom. "Samson? Can I come in?" She heard a agressive 'no' come from the other side. She opened the door anyway. Samson whipped his head to look at her. He had tears trailing down his face, landing on his T-shirt.
"Get out."
"Samson I-"
"GET OUT!"
Sapphira locked the door and stood her ground.
"No."
Samson looked angry. He stormed over to her and slammed his hands either side of her head. Sapphira still stood, unmoving. He saw the determination in her eyes and realised there was no way out. He broke down there, dropping to his knees and hands, looking towards the ground. Sapphira dropped down beside him and lifted his arms so they were around her. Samson's breathing hitched and he pulled her close, letting out a sob. He nestled his head against her neck and breathed shaky breaths as the tears continued to fall.
Sapphira felt his tears trail down her neck, pooling with her own. He let out another sob and held onto her tighter. "I never wanted you to see me like this. I'm supposed to be strong, but I can't even be strong for you." He sobbed once more. "Oh Samson. Don't be strong for me. Be strong for yourself. I'll be here whenever you need me." Samson looked up at Sapphira and placed his forehead against hers. "Sapphira... I-" Sapphira pressed her lips against his. Samson's breath hitched and he slowly pressed into the kiss.
A few tears trailed down both their cheeks before they broke away. Samson opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it. "You know I love you, right? No matter how strong you are." Samson shakily smiled, more tears flowing down his cheeks. "I-I... I love you too."
-Meanwhile-
"Hey, Eve. When did you find out that you were having twins?" Eden asked. "Just yesterday. Azazel was out job searching and I wanted to check, seeming as I missed my period." Azazel looked down at her. "Have you transformed at all during these few days?" Eve shook her head. "You can now if you want. The twins can take it. They share the stress." Eve smiled. "I would, but I like being like this. It means I don't have to feel them growing. And it also gives me more time to think about what we will name them." Azazel wrapped his arms around her stomach and smiled, looking towards the sky. "Yeah." Lazarus began to stir. He looked a little pale, but otherwise fine. "You okay there Hun?" Lazarus nodded and sat up slowly, rubbing his temples. "It happened again, didn't it?" "Yup." "Well shit..."
They heard the sliding door open and Sapphira stepped out, Samson close behind. "You guys okay?" Maggie asked. Sapphira nodded. "We're okay now. A little shaken, but okay." They sat down and leant against each other.
"Cain and I are going to the hoapital in a week to check up on the baby. I'm already thinking of names!" Magdalene announced. Cain deadpanned. "She has been so excited that she has put aside a fund so we can buy shit for it. The baby is not even three months yet." "We need to be thinking about these things, Cain." Eve giggled. "I still need to buy a crib for one of my children. I have already bought one, but because of the twins, I need another one." Judas sat up a little. "Lazarus and I have been talking." The entire group turned to them. "We're thinking of adopting." Maggie squealed. "I'm so happy for you guys!" She ran up and hugged them both.
"You sure you two can handle not having sex all the time?" Eden chuckled. "You both looked well-fucked whenever we see you!" Lazarus and Judas blushed. "Well, I mean, we can handle it." Lazarus stuttered out. "If Azazel and I can handle it, which I hope we can, then they can too!" Eve added. Judas smiled. "Thanks Eve." "No problem." Eve said with a yawn. She leaned back into Azazel`s chest, Her head resting on his shoulder. "It`s late, we should probably get some rest." Azazel said. They all agreed and headed off to their designated areas, settling down for the night.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" Valerie was looking down at her mother and father. "Santa came!" Samson opened his eyes and slowly sat up. "Hey Val! Did Santa deliver presents?" Valerie bounded up and down. "Yeah!" Samson chuckled and nudged Sapphira. "Hey hun, wake up, Santa came." Sapphira groaned and rolled over, her eyes slowly opening. She sat up slightly and stretched. She looked down at Valerie and smiled. "Let's go and wake up the others so we can open the presents." Valerie nodded and ran out the room. Samson and Sapphira got up and went after her. Valerie had already woken up Isaac, Blue and Lost and was on her way to wake up Azazel and Eve. Samson went to the room that Lazarus and Judas were occupying and opened the door. "Guys! Get up! It's Christmas!" He then walked out the room and saw Sapphira waking up Maggie and Cain. They all began to walk to the tree.
Once they all were seated on the floor or on the sofa, Samson and Sapphira began to hand out the presents. The first presents were handed out and everyone began to open them.
Valerie opened hers first, it was a new set of paints and textas from Azazel and Eve. Samson got a cook book from Eden, because he wanted to learn how to cook. Eden got a new hoodie from Judas, because he managed to destroy his old one. Judas got a leather-bound journal from Isaac. Lazarus got a butt plug from Judas because he is a kinky bitch. Azazel got all of SpongeBob SquarePants from Sapphira. Eve got concert tickets to Ed Sheeran from Samson. Isaac got a set of cards from Blue, because he wanted to learn how to perform magic. Blue got a new set of needles and thread from Lazarus, because he was constantly stitching himself together. Lost got the complete set of the Game of Thrones books from Magdalene. Cain got a swim cap from lost because he is planning on going to the paralympic swim team tryouts. And Magdalene got a lovely new dress from Valerie that she picked out herself.
The next set of presents were being handed out, then another, then another. Two hours later, all the presents had been unwrapped and toyed around with. Everyone sat down for a pancake breakfast. Magdalene was wearing the new dress that Valerie picked out for her, if unwillingly because she didn't want to ruin it during the day. It was a lovely blue and had cherries all over it. It had a black velt around the waist. The dress did up around her neck and had a zip so it would fit properly. She looked just like a 1950's houswife.
The pancakes were served with many toppings. There was maple syrup, whipped cream, sugar, chocholate chips, blueberries, stawberries and butter; just to name a few. After they finished the pancakes, they all wnet back to hanging out and using what they had gotten.
Azazel and Eve sat on the couch with Sapphira, Samson and Valerie. The SpongeBob box set that Azazel had gotten was now playing on the TV. Azazel had a poptart in his mouth, and looked a little bit like an anime schoolgirl with toast who was running to school. Well, that's what Eve thought. In her head she could picture dressing him up like a gender-bent Sailor Moon in her school uniform. She would just have to borrow Judas and Lazarus's cat, Delilah, to use as Luna...
Her train of thought was interrupted as she heard Azazel and Valerie belting out the SpongeBob theme at the top of their lungs. She smiled. It warmed her heart to see Azazel doing something he loved; even if it was watching SpongeBob with his 'niece'. He seemed to get along well with Valerie. Another reason that Eve believes that he would make a great father.
They didn't stay for Christmas dinner. Samson and Sapphira never actually planned one. And none of them really held any sentiment to it due to it being their first actual Christmas. They drove home after saying goodbye to everyone, their car filled with their opened presents.
They arrived home a few minutes later, unlocked the door with the keycard, and walked in. Just as they were about to put their things down, they heard a voice.
"Hey brother. Who is this tall drink of water that I see before me?"
Azazel turned around and nearly dropped his bags. He stared at the figure in the shadows, knowing all too well who it was.
"Lilith?"
She stepped out into the light, flats tapping lightly against the tiles.
"In the flesh. Well, sorta. I got my eyes replaced and my spine got shattered. So I was like, 'Why don't I just replace it all?', so now I'm fucking demonic, genderbent, clawless Wolverine. But hotter, and not straight, and not looking like Wolverine at all. I'm actually way more like Cyclops than Wolverine, because they gave me laser eyes. So I'm like, a Wolverine/ Cyclops fusion." She looked up to see Azazel still staring at her in disbelief.
"Okay, okay, okay. First off, how and why are you here, I thought you were dead. And second, how did your fucking spine get shattered?!"
"One, me dying was a real thing; I just made a deal with Satan. Which brings me to two, sex broke my spine. His dick was so big that it shatrered my spine upon the first actual thrust. It was like; 2 metres lo-"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I do not need to know that his dick was longer than I am tall. Just... why?"
"I wanted to see my baby brother again."
Azazel began to break down. The bags of presents slipped out of his hands and tears welled up in his eyes. His sister was back for him. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I never thought I'd see you again Lil'" He sobbed.
"Aww Azzy, you've always been such a crybaby. Now you're gonna make me cry!"
Eve was just internally squealing. She could barely contain it. Azazel then remembered she was there, and when he turned around, she had her hands clasped together infront of her chest and was beaming with joy.
"Oh my Satan, Eve. Oh wait, I have to introduce you two." He stepped away from Lilith and stood in the middle of the two. "Eve, this is Lilith, my older sister. Lilith, this is Eve, my fiancé and mother to my children."
"Wait. Children? Where are they?"
Eve patted her stomach. "They're still inside me Lilith. Nice to meet you, by the way." Lilith smiled. "Nice to meet you too. I honestly wouldn't have pegged you to go for a human, Azazel. Conceiving must have been difficult."
Eve chuckled "I'm not a human." Lilith looked confused. "Then what are you?" Eve looked to Azazel, eyes asking him if she could show her. He nodded. Eve closed her eyes and breathed out. Her transformation was over in a couple of seconds. She was now in her personal favorite form, the whore of babylon.
Lilith was awestuck. "Oh my Satan. She's a shifter. Oh, those are so rare! But awfully easy to lose children to. You're lucky Azazel, if she's loyal then you are gonna have some pretty strong offspring. Her body will reject the weak ones, so your children will be built to survive."
Azazel and Eve instantly looked uneasy. Eve transformed back into her human form. Azazel cleared his throat. "We've... already lost one. Two, actually." Azazel put his arm over Eve's shoulders. Lilith looked instantly regretful. "Oh my... I'm so sorry... I had no idea. Let's hope these ones survive then. If you don't mind me asking, how did you lose them?"
"Clarity, the first one, was born too early. Luka, the second one, had his organs fail as soon as he was delivered." Eve leant against Azazel. "Oh wow... that's sad. I'm so sorry." "It's okay."
Eve wrapped her arms around her middle. Tears were brimming in her eyes. She dropped to her knees, clutching her stomach. "Eve!" Azazel dropped down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. Lilith walked up to them and crouched down. Eve was panicking, her vision was going fuzzy. She blacked out, collapsing into Lilith.
"Oh no... this is bad." Lilith passed her to Azazel. "What happened?" "She passed out, happens when she gets panicked." He stood up with her and walked over to the sofa, laying her down sofly. "It first happened a couple weeks ago. Eve had just started to get over Lukas death. Someone mentioned him and she had a panic attack. She passed out on the spot, took a couple hours before she came to. She was pale and shaking and had lost her appetite. We try to keep her calm most of the time now."
Lilith walked over to where Eve was and sat down. "There's something I also need to tell you Azazel." Lilith balled her hands up in her lap. "I got married to Satan." Azazel couldn't stop his jaw from nearly touching the floor. "When did this happen?!" Azazel threw his arms into the air. "It was another part of our deal. He had taken quite a liking to me and as part of our deal, I married him. I have actually grown quite attached to him..." Azazel sighed. "So you have an official title?" Lilith shook her head. "No, but all the demons call me 'Demon Mother'." Azazel blinked. "Demon Mother?" Lilith nodded. "Yeah."
It was 3 days 'til New Years.
"Azazel, this is an extremely compromising position."
"What are you talking about? I'm comfortable."
Eve was nearly positioned spread eagle with only her limbs keeping her up. Azazel was positioned so he was nearly grinding against her ass. Lilith was on the floor laughing, a twister spinner in her hand.
"Okay, left foot green!"
They both moved theirselves to get to where green was. But Eve tripped and tumbled. "I win!" Azazel announced. "You've won all the times we've played."
It was 2 days 'till New Years.
Eve was laying around on the couch wrapped in a fluffy blanket. She had just thrown up. This was the first time that pregnancy had made her feel ill. Azazel was out, he had just found a job opportunity at the local university to work with some astrophysicists on some big project. It was only temporary though. Eve closed her eyes. Her empty stomach was not up to food just yet and she could taste her stomach through her nose pretty much.
She shifted onto her side and reached for the remote. She turned on the TV and switched over to Netflix. The first thing to pop up was SpongeBob, 80's Anime and Sherlock. Azazel had been watching Sherlock over and over, waiting for the next episode. Eve was pretty sure he thought Sherlock was attractive. She also caught him writing JohnLock fanfiction once. That was an awkward experience. She flicked through recommended movies, not finding anything that caught her eye. She turned the TV off and sighed.
Lilith came into the lounge a couple minutes later. She was wrapped up in her duvet and her hair had been pulled into a messy bun. She sat down next to Eve.
"Good morning."
"'Morning"
"You look a little pale..."
"I threw up. Got morning sickness."
"Oh."
Lilith got up and went to the kitchen, leaving Eve wrapped up in her fluffy blanket. She came back a few minutes later with some kind of beverage. "When I was in hell, I worked in pre-natal care, before I got married. Alot of the demons I worked with ended up getting morning sickness during our sessions, so I mixed them this drink to help."
The drink in question was a vivid orange an completely transparent. Eve picked it up and sniffed it. It smelled a little sweet. She took a sip and found it tasted alright. Once she had finished the drink, she put it down on the table and found that she felt a bit better.
"Thanks." "No problem."
She felt a little funny and her body transformed into its demon form. "Oh." Eve said. Lilith looked her up and down. "I didn't get a good chance to look at you before. You are actually quite a well developed shifter." Eve transformed back to a human. "I've only known that I could transform for a year now."
Lilith looked shocked. "A year?! Have you even tapped into your actual potential powers yet?!" Eve looked confused. "Powers?" Lilith was stunned. "You- You don't know you have potential powers? Okay. I'm going to have to teach you this shit because Azazel wasn't taught much either. And then I'll teach him."
She balled her hands up and propped her head up on her elbows. "So. Are you artificial or natural?" Eve thought about this for a second. "Artificial. I was altered in a lab, much the same was Azazel was." "Okay. Well Azazel was half demon to begin with which is why his powers came naturally to him. I am also half demon; well I was half demon. But I am in no way pure demon, hence my more... human form. Do you have demon blood in your lineage?" Eve shook her head. "My family, as far as I can recall, were human." Lilith sighed. And unballed her hands.
"This makes things a little tricky. You are still a shifter, an artificial one at that. The process to make you a shifter would have been difficult and you, having no demon lineage meant that you could have died. Luckily you didn't and you aren't permanently scarred. But then there is the issue of your powers. Can you quickly list off what you gain from your demon form. Each shifter is different so I need to know this."
Eve reflected back on past instances in which she used her demon form. She began to list off things she noticed like increases in strength, speed, agility and raw power. She noted that her senses became sharper and that she gained a short, fluffy coat of 'fur' on her body so that she didn't freeze. Lilith evaluated this and suggested that her powers could take a more animalistic form, like she could develop claws and respond more like a lion or a cheetah to prey during combat. Eve took this all in and agreed. She knew it could depend on if she ever got them, but she honestly was just fine with her usual form anyway.
It was New Years Eve.
Azazel had gotten a crash course in all things demon from his sister the day before. Lilith deemed it necessary to connect to his heritage and to be able to know about shit that really is super important. He did know some stuff from looking it up; such as demon pregnancies, and demon/ human pregnancies, and other shit Eve and Lilith would tease him about and would end with him getting a noogie from Samson, Eden or both.
He made sure that would never happen by deleting his internet history.
Besides, he wouldn't be a good father/ future husband if he didn't search this shit up so he knew what to do. Right?
Azazel was currently sitting on the couch, cradling Eve with his wings as she sat in his lap. He had gotten quite good at controlling his wings as of late. He never really needed to fly when he was younger, so he never used his wings. As he got older he figured he could use his wings for something, so he begun to use them to carry things and shift things.
Eve was wearing a pair of glasses. She had to go to the optometrist to get an eye test and they found she was long-sighted. So she has reading glasses now. She had this book in her hands called 'fangirl' that her friends had begged her to read. And by beg she literally got the book shoved in her hands and was forced to read it. She thought it was pretty good.
Azazel was just resting. He was close to dozing off actually. Lilith had decided to go out for the day to actually do some shit by herself. Azazel would have gone with her, but because Eve is pregnant with twins, his protective instincts have gone into overdrive. Both a blessing and a curse. But being as possesive as he is at the moment also was one of Eves turn-ons. Azazel didn't know about this. Pretty much everyone but Azazel knows about this. But they won't tell it to Azazel because Azazel himself could unintentionally hurt Eve if he had sex with her, knowing it was her turn-on, by completely physically marking her.
So Eve has to suppress the fact that she gets wet everytime Azazel is super protective of her. No one is happy with this.
Eve finished the chapter she was on and put the book down. She didn't really see why her friends liked this book. It was alright, but not that good. She leaned into Azazels chest, his wings curling around her like a protective cage. Demons were also another of Eves new found turn-ons. Everyone is happy about this. But Azazel also doesn't know about this. So to Eve, Azazel is just one massive turn-on.
Lilith returned home after the couple had had dinner. They had 5 hours to meet up with their friends so they could watch the fireworks. They all got dressed in their warmest clothes and headed out by 10pm.
They all met up at the New Years Eve celebrations. It was a park that had a band, food and sparklers. The 14 of them decided to meet at a spot on the beach at 11:45 so they would be there in time for the fireworks. Azazel, Eve and Lilith went towards all the food. There was so much food. There were Toffee Apples and Fairy Floss. Hot dogs and Pies. Every food item you would find in a fair!
Azazel got a toffee apple and attemped to act like Marceline the vampire queen (or Marshall-Lee) and suck the 'red' out of the apple, earning a giggle from Eve. Eve got a hot dog smothered in mustard. Lilith got an entire bucket of Fairy Floss. They went and sat down near the outdoor stage to listen to the band. They were a local band and played some good covers of songs, as well as some originals. Before they knew it, it was 11:40.
They quickly ran down to the beach and sat down on the sand. The sand was dry and hadn't been touched by the ocean in a long time. The others soon sat down next to them with blankets to protect themselves from the sand and cold. Azazel had his phone out, the time slowly crawled towards midnight.
It was 11:59pm.
Azazel looked over to Eve who was chatting with Maggie. She also had her phone in her hand. Suddenly, a whistle could be heard and they looked up. A spray of colours lit up the sky. Eve threw her hands up.
"Happy New Yea-!" Eve was cut off as she was pulled into a kiss. Wings closed in behind her and she melted into the kiss as fireworks erupted behind her. Azazel hesitantly broke the kiss. "Happy New Year." He whispered. Eve smiled. "Happy New Year." She whispered back. She was pulled into yet another kiss, just as another firework lit up the sky.
It was New Years Day.
