A Tenshi ni Narumon fanfic
By Melissa Smith (writing4ever@aol.com)
Author's Notes: When I wrote
this, I had only seen up to episode 16, so later events in the series might not
exactly fit, but then again, this is a random piece of prose with no plot, so I
don't think that matters too much.

Sighing softly, Raphael
aimlessly let his fingers trace across Mikael's stomach, causing the slender,
aqua-haired boy to squirm slightly.
"Ne, Mikael," he asked as the clock
changed to 12:08 and a light emitted from the Book of Chaos, hovering in the
middle of their apartment.
"Hai?" Mikael asked, turning
slightly in bed to look Raphael in the eyes.
"If- when- Noelle becomes an
angel… what will you do then?" Mikael
fell silent.
"I… I don't know… for so long
that's been the only thing I've thought about… that I honestly don't know…"
Raphael sighed again, laying down flat on his back. Instinctively, his hand reached for Mikael's and their fingers
laced together. For some reason, even
though Mikael was here, lying next to him, Raphael still felt so very
alone.
"So… Noelle is all that you
worry about anymore?"
"Well… not really… I worry
about you, Raphael-sama…" Raphael turned on his side, looking straight at the
smaller boy.
"Do you really?" he asked
softly. Slowly he leaned closer to the
aqua-haired boy, rubbing his cheek against the other's in an affectionate
gesture. Then Raphael pulled away. "Am I that much of a bother?" With those words, Raphael stood up from the
futon bed and pulled on a pair of pants.
He slowly walked over to the window, looking out and wondering if he
could count all the stars out there in his lifetime.
"Iya, Raphael-sama," Mikael
protested softly, sitting up in bed.
Raphael turned to him slowly, stretching his arms out.
"No, it's okay, Mikael. I know I'm only in your way for your true
objectives…" Mikael shook his head and jumped out of bed, quickly wrapping the
sheet around his waist as he went and joined Raphael at the window.
"Raphael-sama…" Mikael
whispered softly, reaching a hand out to brush away a few of the one-winged
angel's bangs. Surprised by the sudden
show of affection, Raphael blinked. "You're
not in my way… in fact, you merely keep everything… interesting…"
"You know, don't you? That I'm in love with you?" Raphael asked
suddenly, clasping Mikael's hand in his own.
Mikael nodded.
"Of course I know,
Raphael-sama… now, come back to bed, will you?
You start to talk nonsense when you're tired…" Raphael shook his
head.
"I will soon… first I want to look at the stars for a
little bit…" Mikael nodded and headed back to the futon, lying back down. Raphael stared out the window, looking for
the brightest star in the sky. After a
long time of looking, he saw a shooting star flicker and stream across the
midnight sky. Smiling slightly, Raphael
turned back to look at Mikael, who had already fallen back asleep, an innocent
look on his face. Raphael stood up from
his place on the window ledge and walked over to the futon, lying down beside
Mikael. Soon he too had sunken into the
land of dreamers, curled up next to the would-be angel. In sleep, their bodies found each other,
softly twining together as if nothing would ever separate them. And in the sky, the stars continued to
shine.
