Seven just stands there, staring. His mouth is agape as the angel gives him this unprecedented news. He almost can't believe he's hearing it, hadn't thought it was possible for a multitude of reasons. Then again, he's never known that much about the Bible or religion of any kind, all the gaps being filled in by Adriel who always seems to divulge something utterly unbelievable to Seven. Nothing shocks him anymore. Nothing but this.

For a moment, the human can't breathe either. He's just standing there dumbly as he lets it hit him. Their love is so pure and so strong that they've managed to create LIFE! How incredible is that? Seven feels like he'll never be able to breathe again, feels the excitement for the unknown filling him up like helium in a balloon. He's just about to float off to fantasy land, too, when Adriel bursts that balloon just as quickly as they'd filled it, Seven's expression falling, falling as Adriel continues to explain.

"Wait — I'm so confused. If it's not supposed to happen, then how come it can?" He asks dropping down beside the angel like he's just a sack of potatoes and not a human being feeling eight million things at once. The way his heart is beating concerns him, scares him, but he's more worried about his lover. "So.. what do we do?" He hates that he can't be the confident one here, can't offer consolation, but he wants Adriel to know that he's there, he'll do anything.

@thefvrious sent: you're pregnant?

Adriel knows they're in big biiiig trouble. This is the screw up of all screw ups. A nephilim?? There's no chance that God is going to let them have this. Whether it happens now or after the baby's born, Gabryel will come and smite their child, Adriel knows this for a fact. After spending centuries wondering if there was any truth to the nephilim stories, he's received confirmation from Yeshua and Azazel that yes, it was all true. It almost always ended up that the human was the carrier, not the angel. Adriel happened to be the third known angel to end up in this predicament - how lucky for them! Once again, his involvement with Seven has led to something wholly new for Adriel. New and terrifying.

They can't stop fiddling with their fingers, their nerves strangling the angel and making it hard to breathe (thank goodness he doesn't technically have to - or does he with a half human being inside him?). A fear this intense feels mortal and Adriel is positive they haven't felt this worried in their entire existence. It's actually hard to look at Seven right now, since Adri feels like they've let him down. For once he has no idea what his love is thinking or feeling.

"Yes, Seven, my dearest one. Our love is pure and through it we have produced a child. This should be joyous news, I know humans celebrate new family additions. However, what we have created will not be allowed to exist. Gabryel will come for our miracle." They swallow thickly before summoning the courage to step closer to Seven, their beautiful, perfect Seven. "There is much to discuss but I have neglected to ask how you feel about this. What is on your mind, love? Share your thoughts with me."

[thefvrious]

@ghostsxagain sent -> 'shivers' for seven's reaction to adriel trailing his fingers down seven's spine.

Seven has been awaiting a visit from his angel for some time now, the interim between their last physical meeting and now drawing a fierce line that felt like a wound or a lash with each passing day. He understood that Adriel had duties, they were an ethereal being, after all, but that didn't stop him from experiencing his very real human emotions. He just tried to not project them onto the angel, tried to not think too much about everything or pine too hard or reach out to much. Instead, he just waited.

Sitting on top of the apartment building with a blunt, Seven feels right at home, his feet dangling off the ledge as he watches the bustle of life all around him. His building in particular is only 8 stories up, much shorter than a lot of the surrounding figures but giving a good view of the street below and offering quite the nasty landing should he fall.

He takes a slow hit off the blunt, his mind wandering to Adriel... the tenderness of their touch, and that's when he feels it, like fingertips ghosting down the spine. But there's no one there. At least not physically, not when Seven looks around himself for the source of the sensation. "Ah... being sneaky, I see." He says, exhaling a plume of smoke with a giddy little smile. "You don't have to show yourself. I know you're here. And that's enough." He heaves a content little exhale before taking another drag off the blunt. "Thank you."

🔥 (to Misha, Seven, Thirteen, Rory)

Misha: "There is a warmness and compassion to Indigo that is magnetic and consuming. They are difficult to ignore and have the type of aura that instantly lights a room. It is impossible to look away from them. Their compassion and energy are what I find most attractive."

Seven: "Have you seen them? There's not just one thing... like, I promise you it's impossible to narrow it down like that. Their wings? The ethereal glow? That smile. I'm weak just thinking about them... oh, oh, there's a color quality to Adriel's eyes that I've never seen anywhere else... and their compassion? There's just no one better."

Thirteen: "There's something sexy about a being that has that much power, so... I'm definitely going to say the power. I know Daddy Demon isn't nailed down to one specific look, so why pick something superficial? I'm attracted to what they can do and how they make me feel. The options are limitless."

Rory: "Well, he's quite fit isn't he? You can tell he cares about his body and takes care of it, I mean, look at that dump truck. I'm sorry, what? Oh... uh, and lovely eyes. They're so sparkly! And those humming bird eyelashes. Really, no person with two working eyes stands a chance against that one..."

Seven has known for a long time that his family is extremely unique. It's only been in recent years — months, really — that he's started to think they're special, destined for something. Being saved and, subsequently, loved by the angel and all the things that have happened since have him convinced of the matter. He wants to get to the bottom if it, but those burning questions can wait for all that time he's not in the company of his love. For now, Adriel consumes every thought. Seven's desire is like a hole cracked open in his chest, like a missing tooth — the wound hollow and aching without Adriel, only feeling right and whole when they get to indulge in moments like this.

"You definitely chose the kind of form to make a man weak in his knees. Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" He asks, breathless and moon-eyed, as he regards the corporeal form of his angel in front of him. He's being wholly honest when he says he's never been more attracted to anyone in his life. Even when he's alone — perhaps especially so — Adriel's face is burned behind Seven's eyelids. He'll happily soak up as much time with them as he can get.

When Adriel deepens the kiss, Seven melts against him just slightly, his body slack and warmer than he's been since the last time they were together. He hums a delighted and satisfied sort of sound against the other being's lips then slings an arm over their shoulders like to keep Adriel close. "I never want to take more than I need... especially not from you." He confesses, his brow furrowing before another deep laugh rumbles u from his chest. He shakes his head, waves this statement away. "No way I'm anywhere near being the best man alive. Your bias is showing." Seven looks affectionately at Adriel then, warmth reserved for the angel dancing in his brown eyes.

Seven is amused by the sight of Adriel taking a drag off the blunt, even more amused at their bizarrely human response. It makes him grin widely before accepting the blunt back between outstretched fingers. He brings it back up to his own lips just to take what feels like the longest toke ever which he holds in his lungs as he tries to process what the angel is saying. It all makes sense, really. The big bad being upstairs can't be pleased with this brewing union, it serves to reason she's blocking the, but Seven doesn't really understand how it all works — why she's allowed it to happen in the first place.

"I'm grateful for the time we do have together." He confesses on the exhale, offering Adriel a languid little half-grin even as his arm hangs lazily off their shoulders. He leans in and presses his lips to the other's cheek, letting them linger there fora moment, relishing in all the sensations he's getting from all his senses. "What do you think happens when we continue to defy Her?" He asks, wincing because he's suddenly not sure if he even wants the answer. Then there are Adriel's questions to answer, too. "You don't need to apologize to me. I knew what I was getting into with an angel like you." Seven's grinning full on now, leaning in to steal another kiss greedily. "I think Six accidentally summoned the Devil and Three found another cat. Other than that, I'm afraid there's not much for me to report. We've just been up to the same-old-same..." As if the Devil thing wasn't a huge bomb...

Seven Devlin is not like other humans, that much has been obvious to Adriel for years. Prior to them actually having a conversation and beginning a romantic relationship, Adriel got to know Seven quite well while serving as his guardian angel. The man was a risk taker, he was wild, but he was also empathetic and understanding with the people he loved. The Devlin family, for all their chaos, criminal tendencies, and differing personalities, was a family full of love. Adriel felt lucky to now be on the receiving end of such care too.

Naturally this means that Seven never asks Adriel to come to him, he just desires it. He understands, as well as he can, that his angel's obligations are far bigger than he is, than their union is. He's patient and never gives Adri a hard time. They both wish for some more convention in their relationship but for now this will have to do. It's not like they have any other choice.

The sound of Seven's laugh is like nothing else Adri has heard before. It lights them up, fills them with warmth, makes them desire holding their human close and peppering kisses all over his body. This is love, true romantic love that Adriel will carry with him for the rest of his existence, long after Seven is gone. "I have told you many times that you can ask anything of me and yet you still do not. You are a good man, Seven Devlin, perhaps the best man currently living on this planet."

It's Adriel's turn to laugh at Seven's words, the sound light and delicate. "You are always surprised by me... I admit, it is quite flattering that you like this form so much. It makes me feel good to please you, even in a small way," he says before taking the blunt with a quirked brow. The angel stares at it, unsure whether they should engage in this behaviour or not. Before they can decide, Seven's lips are on his and it snuffs out all thought. Instinctively, Adriel moves his lips to deepen the kiss a little, then shifts his body closer once it breaks. It is at this moment that he remembers the blunt in his hand so he brings it to his mouth and sucks in a gentle toke. It's not what he expected in the slightest! It's harsh and foreign to their body, causing some uncomfortable coughing as they hand it back.

"There is not much to say. Everyone I care for has been in dire need of my grace and warmth. It feels... calculated, like a move from you-know-who, perhaps to keep me from you. I have missed you terribly," they answer once the coughing subsides. "I feel you at all times and know that you have missed me too. I regret that I have not been here as often as I would like to watch you. What have I missed in my absence? How is the family?"

[thefvrious]

Seven is very understanding of the angel’s position, it’s part of the reason Sev loves him after all, right? That compassion, that loving nature. The fact that Adriel is a literal angel and continues to make it obvious. Seven himself wouldn’t be alive if not for the other’s diligent efforts, and, so, he is patient, earnestly so. But it doesn’t stop the longing. And Seven isn’t aware of just how deep their bond is, how much his pain reaches out like tendrils piercing into the angel’s heart and pulling him closer, like a harpoon.

If he could, he’d spend all his time with Adriel, too, but that’s not something that either one of them is capable of. Seven is confined to the needs of a human, and Adriel has to spread himself out among multiple humans. For once in Seven’s life, his shit isn’t falling apart, so maybe he doesn’t need Adri as much? Or, maybe the people upstairs think he doesn’t, but he really does. More than ever.

Seven laughs out loud at the sound of his lover’s voice, his beautiful brown eyes catching the light of the setting sun, sparkling brightly with his joy. “Of course I want to see you, I always want to see you, but you never have to do anything. Not with or for me.” He wants them to understand that, at least, here Adriel has choices. He swings his feet, backs of his heels hitting the brick of the building, as he takes another drag, exhaling the smoke in little rings then bouncing his brows like for Adriel to witness. Then the angel is a solid presence, and Seven gasps, staring with his mouth hanging uselessly open as if he’s never laid eyes on the other before. It’s like this every time.

“You’re too beautiful.” He says, shaking his head and offering the blunt without even thinking. Can ethereal beings partake? He’s too high to consider it. “I’ve missed you more than I can express.” He wants to say more than you can know or more than you can understand, but something tells him that Adriel is capable of much, much more than he and therefore must have some better understanding of... everything. Or, at least, most things. “I was never upset with you.” Seven continues, leaning in to brush his lips just gently against Adriel’s, one hand at the base of the other’s neck. “Do you want to talk about it?”

At this point in their relationship, Adriel finds it incredibly difficult to be away from Seven for any amount of time. As the days pass he feels his heart start to ache, a heavy weight in his chest. To make matters worse, they can also feel Seven's yearning, whether he actually calls out in his mind for his angel or simply misses him. Adriel longs to be with his human, his love, and for the first time in a long while, he resents his position as a guardian angel. He has eternity to tend to humans, whereas Seven only has so many years to live. It seems wrong to be unable to spend all of his days together.

Unfortunately they're needed elsewhere. Adriel's other charges are all going through a lot, experiencing turmoil of various kinds. They wonder if this is intentional, all done by God's orders to keep them away from Seven. It's a silly thought, one that Adri knows better than to voice aloud to anyone. So he stays quiet and tends to matters as always, ignoring his own pain for as long as possible.

At some point the angel can't take it anymore. They slip away from the young girl - she's sleeping soundly for once, she doesn't need them right now. All that matters is Seven. Adriel knows precisely where to find him at any given point in time, his favourite perk of their bond. It's impossible to resist touching Seven, even if Adri isn't corporeal yet. They smile at Seven's reaction, the human no doubt feeling the angel's warmth. "So you don't wish to see me then? I will try not to be offended by this," he speaks solely in Seven's mind. It only takes a moment of hesitation before Adriel does in fact decide to make himself visible, gracefully sitting down next to him. They're radiant as they beam at their lover, that ache in their heart already long forgotten. "I have missed you so incredibly, my dear one. I hope you can forgive me for taking so long to return to you."
