A/N: I'm back lovlies~!
After 2 months of waiting, here is the next chapter!
I'm awful at explaining things so here's a few key points that you may need to know.
1: Yes the romance will continue between these two, even if the plot took a sudden u-turn.
2: Side pairings and character will be severely lacking. I lack motivation to write the pairings, and I'm just really awful at juggling that many side plots at the same time. If you wanna know what happens that bad let me know and I'll try and find a way to figure it out…. But don't expect hem in the story very much anymore.
I'm sorry about that.
If you have any more things you need cleared up, PLEASE ASK. I'm fine with explaining things. I don't want you guys confused just because I lack the ability to point certain things out.
Anyways, here's the chapter.
._._._._._.
I awoke from my sleep in a cold sweat, breathing rapidly. Nothing was more terrifying than having a foreboding premonition. If Alfred and I were to continue to date, then we would bring both the wrath of heaven and hell. The thought of it alone sent shivers up my spine.
I sat up and shoved the covers off of myself, noticing that Alfred had come to bed at some point last night. I watched the steady rise and fall of his breathing chest, my own breath slowing in the process. His face was calm and relaxed. It showed his more childlike features off, such as the roundness in his cheeks. I smiled faintly as I climbed out of the bed quietly, trying not to wake him.
I'd talk to him about my premonition when he woke up later. It really wasn't something you spring on a half-asleep person. Honestly you can't wake someone up and tell them "Oh hey God just spoke to me and he says him and Satan are going to bring wrath upon us if we continue being together."
His reaction would be a blank stare if I told him right now. No comprehension. Plus I really didn't want to tell him. I was scared, because I knew that as soon as the information came out into the open our relationship would change completely. Nothing would be the same... We may even split up.
No.
I would never... Could never leave him. I hoped he felt the same way about me but I wouldn't know for sure until I told him the story.
I just had to wonder... Would we be able to handle the wrath of both heaven and hell?
-LATER ON AFTER ARTIE TOLD AL THE STORY-
I stared at the floor as Alfred sat next to me, absorbing the information. He had been unusually quiet for a few minutes now. The silence was terrifying in it's own unique way, I had no idea what Alfred was thinking. The usually loud American was just sitting there, deep in thought.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore. "Alfred," I muttered. "Could you at least say something? If you're ending it don't make me wait. Tell me what you're thinking, it's diving me mad."
He blinked and looked over at my disgruntled face, a look of shock painted across his own. "Why in the world would I end it? Arthur, you're the best thing that's happened to me. I'm not going to let God or Satan to take you away from me."
Now it was my turn to look shocked. I certainly hadn't been expecting that.
Alfred took me hand and held it gently, looking me in the eyes. "If they're gonna try and stop us, we'll just fight back. I'll be the hero and you'll be my awesome angel. Nothing will be able to come between us." He said this with a look of complete sincerity, never once breaking contact with my eyes.
He obviously had no idea what he was getting himself into. "Alfred they're going to try and hurt you. I did something that I shouldn't have and now this is the consequence."
"You became human, and you found happiness. I don't understand why they're so pissed about that."
I sighed. "They're angry that an angel is happier on Earth than in the heavens. I'm setting a bad example. Most immortals, angel or demon, view humans and Earth as a place full of terrible things. The fact that a former angel is happier here is giving other immortals ideas."
"So in other words, they want all of the immortals to stay loyal to their masters."
I nodded, and he frowned. "Well that's bull. Absolute bull."
"I know. Alfred I don't want to be the cause of the pain that they'll put you thr-" My sentence was cut off by a firm kiss, full of emotions that I couldn't quite pinpoint.
"Arthur I am not leaving you, and don't you dare blame yourself for anything that might happen. We're going to show them that they can't stop us, and that we won't simply surrender."
"But-"
"No buts. Arthur you're my angel, and I care for you. A lot. We're going to stay together."
I started at him for a long moment, his face unwavering. He was completely sure of himself and determined to prove something. His sky blue eyes shone with a new fierceness I had never seen before. It almost gave me hope.
"Alright Alfred. We'll fight back." I nodded at him, watching his face brighten.
"We'll show them Artie! No one can stop us now!"
With the look on his face, and the excited determination firm within his words... I could almost believe him. Maybe, just maybe, we would prevail. Love would prevail.
Or we would be oppressed.
Either way we had a fight coming our way, and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I just knew I would have to fight for Alfred at any cost... Because without him I wouldn't know love, fun, or happiness.
I would just be a fallen angel who had hated heaven.
Alfred was off on one of his speeches, comparing us to superheroes and explaining in great detail how we were against all odds, but we would win anyways because the good guys always win. I smiled up at him as I listened contently, wanting to believe every word he said. Savoring the innocence that radiated from him, and his every movement.
I knew that the innocence I treasured so dearly in him would disappear soon enough. For even if we did manage to beat both heaven and hell in their attempts to separate us… His innocence wouldn't be able to survive the battle itself.
So I sat there and listened to him and his ridiculous theories… Just to savor it while I could.
._._._._._.
A/N: Reviews are lovely, and provide the motivation I need to keep this story going.
Sorry for the short chapter, especially after such a long wait.
I promise to try and be better. *cries*
Anyways, I would love to hear your theories about what God and Satan are planning on doing to stop this forbidden love!
Drop a guess in a review, and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong… and my opinion on it! Who knows, maybe I'll include it~!
