{Smiles and places a hand on your cheek} What a beautiful, sweet sight to wake up to

My angel

I love these little moments. You can never leave my side so we can always have them

We'll have to make sure you get a proper night then

{Kisses you softly and pulls you down with me, keeping you on your side so you're off your back} Yes. It's been exhausting and I need to be close to you

{Presses my forehead back against yours} I love you... since the moment we reunited... {Runs a hand along your arm} Every day we're together it grows. Every time you look at me even

{Slides an arm around your abdomen, being careful to not touch your back} If they hadn't got that electric dart in me... It wasn't worth the cost of your wings... {Makes a soft, frustrated sound} I'm sorry I failed protecting you

~ Shiki... thank you... {Tightens my hold on Raguel, keeping him against me, fingers pushing through his hair} I love you too, my angel...

{I can feel Shiki release me and I instantly go to Raguel, pulling him into my arms as he collapses. I pour what I can into him, trying to ease some of the pain. Had Shiki really just claimed him? The angels would still likely come, but Shiki would be true to his word and would protect Raguel} ~

~ make me stop and crumble. My angel. All I wanted to do now was go to him. My kind, wonderful, loving mountain}
