Nathaniel woke up around the same time as V, yawning and rubbing at his eyes as he looked up at Urielle.
Nathaniel woke up around the same time as V, yawning and rubbing at his eyes as he looked up at Urielle.
"good afternoon boys." Urielle called from the kitchen. V stretched slightly and sat up with Nathaniel in his lap "hi," he said tiredly. Urielle came over with two glasses of holy water and passed one to the boys. V gently turned his down a shake of his head
Nathaniel looked at V, a bit confused as to why he wouldn't take it. He accepted his own glass and sipped it quietly.
Urielle sighed softly and set the drink down for later. V looked away from urielle and nathaniel before standing and fully stretching. "I'm gonna shower," he said softly, heading to the bathroom without looking back
Nathaniel whined softly when V moved away from him, but let him go. His face was still blotchy from crying earlier, and he didn't understand why V was being distant and seemed like he was withholding information.
"he didn't tell you, did he?" Urielle said softly as he watched v go.
While in the bathroom, v gently unwrapped his wing again, gasping softly as pain courses through his back. He turned and sat that the base of his wings had turned darker as if bruised. He sighed and shook his head. His right wing was broken, no amount of holy water would heal that
"Tell me what?" Nathaniel asked nervously, looking up at Urielle. "He… he's been acting weird. He asked me what it was like when I crippled my wings… h-he knows I'm pretty sensitive about that, and he wouldn't normally…" Something in his eyes seemed to click. "Oh my god…" His eyes widened and he went pale, covering his mouth with one hand.
Urielle nodded and looked towards the bathroom where V had disappeared to "he won't be able to fly anymore. he'll barely be ablate open that wing, even after a few years."
V cried in the bathroom, curled up next to the bathtub so that the water covered the sounds that came from him.
Nathaniel drew in a shuddering breath before he started crying again as well. He hid his face in his hands, shaking.
urielle sighed softly and sat next to Nathaniel, rubbing his back soothing.
V came out of the bathroom a half an hour later, blotchy from crying. He glanced over at nathaniel, heart breaking at the sight of his angel crying again. He knelt in front of him and took his hand in his, pressing his lips to them.
Nathaniel slid down to the ground and hugged V tightly, sobbing into the other's shoulder as he held him. "I'm s… I-I'm sorry…" He managed to choke out, his voice faltering and breaking.
he shook his head "for what my darling? you didn't do anything." he smooked Nathaniel's hair down and whipped away tears. "I did this myself. you had no hand in what happened."
Nathaniel hiccuped, shaking his head weakly. "I-I know how it feels, and I'm s… s-sorry…"
V bit his lip to keep from crying again "It's okay," he whispered faintly "I couldn't fly much anyways down here, too many people." he hurried his face in Nathaniel's shoulder and breathed in his comforting scent
He nodded a bit and hugged V tighter, still shaking. He was heartbroken for V, and with him already being emotionally unstable, his first reaction was to bawl his eyes out.
V land into the other "love, don't cry. I'm fine, really," He sighed softly and leaned back to while away the tears from nathaniel's cheeks "how do you have this much water in your system?" he joked lightly, trying to make Nathaniel feel better
Nathaniel hiccuped and smiled weakly as he coughed. Fresh tears kept rolling down his cheeks whenever the old ones were brushed away, and he couldn't bring himself to stop. "I'm s-sorry…"
V laughed softly and pressed a kiss to his head "so tiny yet so much water, I hope you're not this way at our wedding," he hugged Nathaniel close and stroked his hair
"I p-probably will be…" He laughed weakly again, not registering that the news of their informal engagement probably hadn't reached Urielle.
Urielle glanced up with an eyebrow raised "you two are getting married? And didn't think to tell me?" He mocked being offended.
V smiled softly while shifting into a more comfortable position to hold Nathaniel in "we were going to tell you but this came up," he said, ruffling his good wing
Nathaniel looked over his shoulder at Urielle so he wouldn't have to let go of V. "Will you come, Urielle? Please?"
Urielle smiled down at the two "of course I will. I always knew you two would end up together." He smiled down at Nathaniel and V proudly
"Even when we were kids?" Nathaniel asked, cocking his head slightly to the side.
Urielle nodded "yep. You two were always so close, boundaries never seemed to be a concern with each other." V pressed a kiss to Nathaniel's head as he listened
Nathaniel blushed a bit, huddling closer to V. "I dunno… I could've just been a touchy person. That didn't necessarily mean I was gay." He shrugged.
"no, not at the time but you never felt comfortable around anyone else. It just seemed that you liked being around V more than anyone else. I had my hunches but always thought that you were too young so I let it slide." Urielle shrugged and smiled at the two "seems as if I was right."
Nathaniel blushed a bit harder. "I suppose so… I-I always sort of felt a connection to V even when I didn't trust anyone else, although I didn't understand that feeling at the time. I could never believe compliments or anything positive from anyone but him. Whenever V complimented me… I felt different. My heart would skip a beat and my stomach would be all weird and I could never properly speak through being flustered… somehow, I felt like he was always telling the truth; that he… he genuinely liked me for who I was, even without my wings."
V's eyes softened as he heard his angel speak. He nuzzled into his neck and smiled softly, hugging Nathaniel close only wanting him closer.
Urielle smiled and nodded "and he always will." he stood and pressed a hand to both of them, "you deserve each other." he winked and headed to the door "if you need me, I'm just a prayer away."
"Bye, Urielle." Nathaniel smiled softly and kissed V, wrapping his arms around the other's neck. "I love you…" He murmured when Urielle had gone. "More than you could ever know, my love…"
"I think I can get an idea." He smiled and pressed their lips together, moving slowly as he roamed over to his neck and shoulders. "I love you too, baby. So very very much," he murmered against his skin "you're my everything, I don't think I would have survived this long if it weren't for you."
