#idea wont leave me alone so im throwing this out into the void

[fictionplumis]

Here's a fun little idea that's bound to rife with conflict and hijinks, one which I was not planning on writing this much on but I did. If anyone wants to write an actual Steddy Hands thing about this, fucking go for it my dude, but here's my rambling.

A modern AU, maybe a college thing, where Ed and Izzy are roommates, nothing more. But they've known each other for so long they might as well be married, y'know? Ed isn't a very touchy guy, but he's comfortable enough with Izzy to toss himself over Izzy's lap and annoy the shit out of him, and Izzy does the bare minimum of fussing because it's Ed and Ed can do whatever the hell he wants in Izzy's eyes. Izzy does Ed's taxes and makes sure the registration of his motorcycle is updated every year. He knows all of Ed's obscure passwords and makes sure the bills are paid on time. Ed knows Izzy's usual order from every takeout place in a twelve mile radius and then some and goes to most of Izzy's fencing competitions and listens to him rant about his day. 

Izzy is obviously in love, in love, right? Yeah. Everyone knows that. Except Izzy has no idea how to function in that state and truthfully, he's pretty content with things. Does he have sad, rough wanks whenever Edward isn't home? Oh yeah. Does he have sad, rough wanks whenever Edward is home? Of course. Would he be happier and better adjusted if Ed fucked him on the living room floor twice a day? --Why am I even bothering answering these, we know the answer is yes. But even without that, he has Ed, so it's like, fine or whatever. 

And Ed loves Izzy. That's his little shithead. His comfort problematic dickhead. He finds Izzy's dry wit and sarcasm amusing, enjoys mildly inconveniencing him to see him scowl, and just in the most basic forms, loves Izzy. 

Why aren't they a couple then? 

Because, like, they're dumb. Obviously. 

Izzy is an angsty little shit that doesn't think Edward is interested in him like that and is desperate to keep things exactly as they are so he doesn't risk losing Ed. Ed is just content and chill to keep things how they are and doesn't think Izzy is interested in him that way. He's just a sexually repressed little dude in general and Ed isn't going to take advantage of that, not to his best friend, so while he absolutely notices how often Izzy stares at his lips when they get into a heated spat over something, it doesn't mean anything. 

(It absolutely means something.)

Enter Stede Bonnet, the funky dude that shows up one day at one of Jack's parties, IDK. He's all dressed up and just really excited to be a part of the action, guys! Now usually Ed has taken to spending these parties scrolling on his phone, laying on the couch with his head in Izzy's lap because getting wasted and puking over the balcony of Jack's dorm has gotten old. But then he sees this blond angel in a salmon colored blazer and slacks and is like, "Izzy, holy shit," and the next five hours of Izzy's life consists of sitting there between the two of them, nursing a rum and coke that isn't strong enough while those two prattle on about their lives. 

They hit it off instantly. Izzy isn't jealous at first. It's just his usual amount of malice and whenever it rubs Stede the wrong way, Ed just waves it off because that's Izzy, mate, he's always like that. Stede is wary but accepting. Izzy is bored and assumes Edward's infatuation will eventually wear off and things will go back to normal.

For a little bit there's this awkward space where sometimes just Stede and Ed hang out, or a mash of their two friend groups, but it's often the three of them, and Izzy is pretty much just there, off to the side, not really interested in participating, and Edward is mostly focused on Stede, which isn't too much of a problem because he's seen Ed get like that before. They'll fuck or something, and then Edward will lose interest, no biggie.

Now from Stede's perspective, these two are a thing. Which is a shame, because he's really become very attached to Ed, and for a couple they don't really have great communication skills. Izzy always seems jealous and annoyed that his boyfriend is paying so much attention to someone else, and Ed never seems to notice. Usually in a situation like that, Stede might try to draw Izzy into the conversation, or draw Ed's attention to Izzy but-- 

But Izzy's kind of a bitch. 

So really, it's Izzy's own fault that Ed wants to pay attention to someone who isn't a bitch. Like let your boyfriend have friends, Izzy, damn. Ed's at least making an effort to make sure Izzy is around, watching movies with them, dragging him out places and such. Surely a good boyfriend would try to engage. So that's on Izzy. 

But then during a movie night a week and a half in or something, Ed kisses him. In front of Izzy. And Stede's brain kind of short-circuits, meanwhile Izzy hardly bats an eye. He'd been kind of assuming Stede and Edward had been macking on each other anyway, just not around him, and when Stede gets all flustered and it looks like Edward is interested in taking things a bit further, Izzy just stands himself up, says, "Yeah, you two have fun, I'm out," and heads for his room because fucking finally. Now Edward can get this out of his system and things can go back to being normal.

Stede's whole concept of things suddenly shifts. 

Clearly, Stede is now in a throuple. 

Which he's down with! It's just... Even if this is more of a Stede/Ed and Ed/Izzy dynamic, he really should learn more about his partner's partner, right? It's polite. So while Izzy spends the next week warily eyeing Stede and Ed, waiting for the attraction to wear off, Stede is spending his alone time with Ed asking about Izzy, and spending their time as the three of them trying to get to know Izzy.

It's... Not easy. Because Izzy suddenly seems more bristly now that Stede is officially part of the dynamic, more resentful that Edward is spending so much time with the new guy, and Stede gets it! Ed doesn't mean to, he's sure, it's clear whenever Ed talks about Izzy that there's a lot of love there and he's used to Izzy's eccentricities and doesn't have a problem with Izzy's standoffish attitude--and the way Ed talks about Izzy, he's someone Stede could easily come to like himself! Stede has no problem with a bit of attitude directed his way, just... Maybe a bit less purposely biting? And maybe not constantly. He'd like to have actual conversations with Izzy, like Ed does, and some comfortable but companionable silences, a bit of dry yet playful bantering and such. Surely Ed really doesn't mean to spend more of his time with Stede than Izzy, it's just that Ed is pretty easily distracted and these two really aren't the best at communication. 

Now, did Stede ever ask if Ed and Izzy were a thing? No. Did he ask if he  was now involved in a throuple? Also no. Did he ask if Izzy was okay with Stede being involved with Edward? Yeah, actually. He asked Ed first, specifically, "Are you sure Izzy is okay with this?" to which Ed was like, "Pssh, yeah, 'course, why wouldn't he be?" and then he later asked Izzy, "Hey, are you actually okay with... This?" and Izzy gave him a nasty look and said, "I don't fucking care what Edward gets up to." You know, like a liar. And Stede just assumed they knew exactly what he meant.

All this to say that Stede is equally fucking terrible with communication.

However! Stede assumes he's great at it and clearly these two need some help, so he decides he's going to help them become better for each other, and maybe that would make Izzy less unbearable to be around. 

So Stede starts kindly suggesting that maybe Edward make some more time to spend with Izzy one on one, so as to not make him feel left out. He doesn't understand Ed's initial confusion, nor he does he see the resulting fight when Edward confronts Izzy to ask if he said anything bitchy to Stede, because dude, stay the fuck out of my relationship, you've been acting like a dick to him from the beginning. And Izzy says some shit because he's angry and jealous and then he storms out and spends the next three days sleeping on Jackie's couch. 

Stede feels awful, because Ed is all upset about what Izzy said, and while no, it wasn't fair, and Stede is pretty upset about it too, it is kind of his fault. He admits that Izzy didn't say anything to him, he just thought Izzy seemed a little... Jilted. And Stede doesn't want to get in between them like that. It wouldn't hurt to make more of an effort to show Izzy he was cared about, would it? 

And Ed's like, "Well... No. Guess it wouldn't. Guess I haven't really been good at that, just took it for granted that he knew."

They brainstorm some ideas, like having more nights where it's just Ed and Izzy, maybe have a nice dinner in, try to cook for him or order something a little nicer. Make it a weekly thing. And Ed mentions Izzy's competitions and goes to look up when the next one is only to see in it's a couple days and Izzy didn't mention that. He always mentions that. Why didn't he mention that? Shit, fuck, had he really been neglecting Izzy so much that Izzy didn't even think it was worth mentioning his competition? It's a big one, too. Now Ed's all sad again and Stede is like, "This is okay, it's fixable. You know about it now, you can show up and surprise him!" 

So Stede helps Ed make a big sparkly sign that says GIVE 'EM HELL, IZZY! Ed's shown up to most of Izzy's competitions for support, cheers him on, but he's never made a big deal of it like this. The sign is huge, florescent, embarrassing as hell in a way that Ed loves and knew Izzy secretly didn't mind. Stede declines to come, because it really should be about them. 

Stede is so happy he's able to help Ed find ways of being a better boyfriend. 

Ed's so lucky that Stede is willing to help him be a better friend. 

Izzy is... Embarrassed. And flattered. And he's so distracted by Ed showing up with his big sparkly sign that he gets second place when he deserved first but fuck it, it doesn't even matter. 

Ed explains that it was Stede's idea, and that Stede helped him make the sign, and that he's going to try to be a better friend and be there for Izzy more. And that he thinks Izzy should talk about his feelings more, and Ed plans on doing the same, because it's good for them! He cares and he doesn't want Izzy to feel like they never have time to themselves, and this is all Stede's suggestion, he really knows what he's doing, Iz, and he doesn't want our friendship to be strained because of him.

Which Izzy finds so fucking stupid and suspicious and clearly this is Bonnet's way of making himself look better and make Izzy look like the irrational asshole. Or he's just pitying Izzy, and that's just as bad. 

So despite all of Stede's good intentions and Edward's willingness to make time and be more considerate of Izzy's feelings, things do not get better. 

Then we have Lucius!

Now Lucius and Pete are an official thing, but they're open. Pete's not interested in anyone else, but he's supportive of Lucius and when Lucius starts up a somewhat consistent thing with Fang, they talk it out to make sure it's okay, and then they let Fang know that they've talked it out and it's cool. And Fang's talked about it with his platonic partner Ivan to make sure it's okay, and yeah, everyone's cool all around. 

Lucius has been hearing about Stede's relationship off and on in dreary sighs and he's occasionally offered bits of advice that's been mostly ignored and really, he just doesn't want to get involved, because he's met Ed, and Ed is kind of intimidating honestly, and it's just like, absolutely not his business. 

But then he's over at Fang and Ivan's to work on an art assignment when Izzy slams his way in making a fuss over something, and Lucius hears Stede's name a couple times mixed up with curses and shit, and Izzy is an absolute dick to him, and a dick to Fang and Ivan, and when it becomes clear they're too busy to indulge in his bullshit, Izzy goes stomping away muttering about useless fucking shitheads too busy drawing dicks to be of any help. Lucius is like, "What the fuck was that all about?" 

And Ivan rolls his eyes and is like, "Izzy's been going through some shit with his best friend dating this guy..." 

So now Lucius has two wildly inconsistent and dubiously accurate descriptions on what the fuck is going on with Stede. In his brief interaction with Izzy, Lucius has determined that this is a man who's only orgasms come from sad, furtive wanks in his room and it's probably been that way for YEARS now, like Izzy Hands is so sexually frustrated and repressed it's not even funny except for the fact it's actually HILARIOUS, and he's so glad that he never really go involved in this mess, because it means he can get involved now and wreck Izzy's entire life in a way that's very much needed for him. Gonna get that fucker laid.

Lucius becomes an agent of pure chaos on a mission. 

So the next time Stede looks all dour and is sighing a lot, Lucius is like, "Okay, lay it all out for me, what's going on Stede? I want to help." 

And Stede, like... Sort of, vaguely lays it out with the most recent problem and Lucius nods sagely and goes, "You know, maybe you're going about this the wrong way. Maybe instead of trying to keep your life with Ed and Ed's life with Izzy separate, you should be trying to bridge the gap between you and Izzy." And Stede makes a face and Lucius is like, "No, no, hear me out for a second. You said things were a little tense but mostly fine when the three of you were casually hanging out, right? And then it got a little tenser once you and Ed starting spending more time together. It's even worse now that you're giving Ed more time to spend with him away from you. Maybe he doesn't feel left out from Ed, maybe he feels left out from you and Ed. Some people aren't meant to have a boyfriend who has a boyfriend. Some people are meant to have two boyfriends." 

Which makes perfect sense to Stede for some reason. 

So he brings it up to Ed, that maybe they should all three hang out more, like they used to. 

And Ed is like... Tired. 

Because Izzy has been so fucking frustrating, and he doesn't know what the fuck is going on with him anymore, and he's not really sure this is a good idea because Izzy had straight up become hostile and unhinged at this point. Little do they know it's only because Izzy is so fucking confused as to what Stede's GAME is. There has to be a game, right? This has to be some kind of trick. Pity. SOMETHING. And he hates it, he hates not knowing what Stede's intention is, and hates that his suspicions are only making Ed pull away more because Ed doesn't see that something is fucking wrong here, he doesn't see that Stede is probably a conniving little shit that's plotting something and thinks he's so much better than Izzy, but Izzy sees it, he SEES IT DAMMIT.

At least with the three of them hanging out more, maybe Ed will start catching on. 

Stede puts himself in the middle this time, between the two of them. Tries to reach out more Izzy, rope him into the conversation, tries to be friendlier. Is met with nothing but suspicion, confusion, and reluctance because for the life of him, Izzy can't figure out this NEW game. More pity, probably. He doesn't like it. He'd rather it be Ed, but Ed is usually silent and sullen and uncomfortable on the other side of Stede, because he lowkey hates listening to Stede try only for Izzy to continue to be a dick.

A few uncomfortably tense hangouts later, and Stede, in a desperate attempt to bridge the gap, realizes he has spent the entire movie night holding Edward's hand, so he reaches out to take Izzy's too. 

He feels Izzy go completely rigid and chances a glance over at him to see him staring back in absolute bewilderment. Stede gives him a soft smile, equal parts reassuring and imploring, and rubs his thumb over the back of Izzy's hand. 

And all hell breaks loose. 

Izzy's on his feet yelling at Stede. Then Ed is on his feet yelling at Izzy. And Stede isn't even sure what either of them are saying with how they're yelling over each other but he wedges his way between them, tells them to stop, and Ed stops, but Izzy is still livid, still yelling, only this time Stede can hear something about not wanting your fucking pity so he just. Does the stupid thing. And shuts Izzy up with a kiss. 

And it works! 

Izzy is thoroughly shut the fuck up enough that Stede can now go, "I don't pity you, you stupid, stubborn man! I just want us all to get along, for Ed's sake if nothing else! He deserve that, doesn't he?" 

Izzy just stares at him in some mix of horror and shock. So Stede hesitantly glances to Edward to silently ask if this was a normal thing, only to see Edward looking just as bewildered as Izzy had looked over the whole hand holding thing, and Stede realizes, well shit, he might have just crossed a line. Because he knew Izzy was more... Conservative when it comes to PDA. After all, Stede had never see Ed and Izzy so much as kiss in public. They're liberal with touches, or WERE anyway, but even hand holding never happened. 

And he's just like, shit, I crossed a line, didn't I?

Izzy is still processing. Edward is like, "Uh... Maybe? Dunno. I should say yeah. Most people would say yeah. I always thought it would be a line of mine. If you would have asked me where my line was, I would have said yeah man, right the fuck here. Definitely a line. Like. Seeing my boyfriend kiss my best friend should probably be a fucking line but it's not? It's not. Nope. Actually. Pretty chill with that. Maybe not chill, chill probably isn't the right word, I'm not chill right now, but I think if it happened a lot more often I could be chill with it. No, but right now I'm just... Wow, Stede, you really just fucking did that, just went in there and-- Damn. That was kind of hot." 

And Stede is relieved and flattered and like, "Well, I mean... I just thought-- Wait. Wait, hang on. Friend?" 

And Ed's like. "Uh. What?" 

"Friend. You called Izzy your friend." 

And by that point Izzy's brain has started to work again, vaguely, and he mutters a hoarse, "Best friend, he said best friend." 

And Stede is just. Confused at first. And then he thinks about it, about all of it, and the mortification starts seeping in until he wails, "I thought we were both dating Ed!" And when they look confused he flails around a bit and goes, "I thought the three of us were in a relationship! I thought you and Ed were together but open, and then Ed started dating me, and-- and--!" 

Ed catches on first and starts laughing. Izzy catches on and shoves Stede, not hard but Stede lets himself fall back onto the couch as Izzy starts chewing him out for being an idiot and what the fuck made you think something like that, you imbecile!

And Stede's only defense is, "You two acted like a couple who had been together a long time!" 

And Ed's like, "Yeah, 'cause we've been friends forever! But Iz doesn't feel that way about me."

And Izzy's like, "Don't fucking put words in my mouth, you're an imbecile too!" 

Which of course leads to them actually sitting down to have a frank and serious conversation about what the past few months have all been about, and about Ed and Izzy's relationship before that. There's apologies made, heartfelt from Ed and reluctant from Izzy. And when the conversation peters out and Ed mutters, "Okay, so... What now?" Stede looks between the two of them. Ed, with a pinch of guilt in his brows. Izzy, looking away, shoulders set miserably but his jaw clenched in expectation of a blow, and Stede just says, "Why don't we start over? Try this from the top, but this time do it the way I thought we were in the first place. The three of us. I think, now that we all know what's going on... I think maybe we can figure it out this time around."

(Spoiler: They do.)

Love Struck!AU x SF9

lately i just need to write about every member of every kpop group being in capital L love. find other love struck!aus here: monsta x | day6 | ateez | the boyz

youngbin

overcompensates with selfless acts that go above and beyond what any person deserves

offers to carry your bags, learns about plumbing when you mention you have a leaky faucet, asks if you want him to drive you to your appointments which you are perfectly fine getting to on your own

if there was a puddle of mud on the ground, youngbin would throw his brand new jacket over it just so you could walk over it

even though you could literally just. walk around it

doesn't even realize he's overdoing it

he just loves you and therefore knows he has to show it at any given part of the day

but not like in an aggressive manner

just a small smile and a "i can pick you up and drop you off if you want!"

dawon: actually, youngbin, we have practice at that tim-

youngbin, shoving a sandwich down dawon's throat: so you said noon right?

when you respectfully decline any of his help, mostly because you are worried you're using your friend for his kindness, everyone assures you that's not it

actually everyone is super confused how you haven't seen why it is weird that youngbin would commit hours of research for you when you ask offhandedly if you should visit europe for the summer and then show up at your door with ten pamphlets on different european destinations 'by chance'

because - that's weird - and weird means, in the great way of sf9, that he has a crush on you

"youngbin, you're being so nice to me these days how could i ever repay you?

youngbin about to say that there's nothing you need to do, he just likes being able to help

dawon, shoving a sandwich down youngbin's throat for revenge and also to answer on his leader's behalf: "actually, if you could finally go on a date with him - i think that would repay it."

you get all shy and murmur that you don't know if youngbin wants that, and youngbin can only vigorously nod that he does

(due to the sandwich)

inseong

no clue if puppy syndrome is a thing, but he's got it

the human embodiment of big puppy eyes whenever you're around, big puppy pout, big puppy wagging his tail at just the mention of your name

even without all that - the energy that exists around inseong when you are near him and giving him attention - it's enough to quite literally blow everyone and everything else away

and there are lasting effects

as in you walk away from the conversation and fifteen minutes later inseong still can't make out a single word, just chin on his palm - daydreamy look in his eyes

jaeyoon tries snapping his fingers in his face, tickling him, even flicking his best friend straight on the forehead but.

nothing.

the only way he breaks out of the spell you cast on him is either a long time passes or you show up again and inseong is back at your full attention

it's getting bad, like to a point where he walks into walls or drops his phone in the sink when he starts thinking about you

incidents where he nearly topples over onto poor chain who is like get off of me you are built like a skyscraper

or just flat out doesn't move a muscle in the right direction during practice and it's literally driving youngbin mad

so jaeyoon (like the best friend he is) arranges for you to come hang out with him but tada it's actually a candlelight dinner in the sf9 kitchen he and the rest of the boys set up for you and inseong

and you're like w....whats all this and inseong is like i don't know either

and jaeyoon (who like the best friend he is picked the nicest smelling candle from the tj maxx sale aisle) appears and lights it and is like this is for you two to confess and for inseong to be cured of puppyism

you: puppyism?

inseong, red as a tomato: i think he means like the way i act around you like a - um -

jaeyoon: like a lovesick puppy, so like....collar him or whatever

you and inseong both looking at him like do what? and jaeyoon is like sorry that didn't come out right

either way you get the point please date the oversized man whose brain wont work unless you give him a kiss

jaeyoon

opposite of his best friend, jaeyoon doesn't need to fall over his feet when he's lovestruck

he will literally just let you know how he feels

"i like you"

you smile at him and laugh, "i like you too!"

and jaeyoon is like amazing so we are both "liking" each other how lovely how nice

and that is....................where it ends

he literally is so preoccupied with the concept of confessing that he forgets the part where he has to like.

confirm the relationship

so for like a month after you are both just saying 'i like you' to each other and he thinks it's romantic and you still think it's platonic

it's a mess

he keeps asking himself when the right time to ask you to go to the movies with him is, if he should pull out the home cooking - why haven't you pulled out the home cooking? do you not "like" him enough for that?

he paces around before you come over because is he dressed too casual - i mean he's your boyfriend, he should put effort into it right?

and then you show up and nothing is different and everything is the same and when inseong is like

jaeyoon you're dating them right, why don't you guys like kiss? and jaeyoon is like holy shit i haven't even thought about that yet

and dawon is like how have you not thought about that kissing is all i think about ever

and so jaeyoon's head gets even more scrambled because now you come over and he's like ..... kiss......lips......mouth...hand? kiss on mouth...hand...lips.....hug?

and you're like what? and he's like hug lips mouth? and you're like jaeyoon are you ok?

oh my god at some point you're both alone and jaeyoon is walking you home or something and he reaches out to grab your hand because like that's normal right? people dating do that right?

and you're like oh! and he's like is this ok? and you're like a-does it mean something?

and jaeyoon is like it means the same thing as i like you....you know....like how i said it a month ago and i just thought we could take the next step-

he's rubbing his neck and blushing and he has always been sauve and straightforward and it dawns on you that the entirety of this month he has been saying he likes you like in that way

and you're like wait you like-love me? and he's like yes wait what did you think- and you're like i thought it was like-like ....like friend like?

you and jaeyoon just staring at each other and then he's like should i let go of your hand then

and you're like no. actually just kiss me we've wasted a LITERAL month

dawon

always the class clown, being lovestruck somehow only tends to make it worse

but not worse like oh he gets louder and cracks more jokes.

my man has upgraded to mildly dangerous body humor.

you are all together and dawon is suddenly like you guys think i can climb that uneven, rickety tree? and youngbin is like no and you're like no but dawon is like it'll be fun just watch

dawon: should i drink spoiled milk

you: why-

dawon: im hardcore it'll be fine - look im just a goofy guy who - oh my god. call an ambulance.

the idea is that every time you are in the vicinity and glowing like an angel without a halo dawon is like

gotta do something so outrageously stupid that it grabs their attention and/or lands me in a situation where i can excuse myself to run away from my feelings. perfect.

it's literally the dumbest logic on the planet

everyone tells him it's the dumbest logic on the planet

but dawon is convinced it's the best reaction to....to the butterflies in his stomach

of course, you don't find any of it amusing, you are just in a constant state of worry

one time dawon takes it too far and probably tries to do something that could actually seriously hurt him

and you stop him by grabbing him and being like stop - i don't know why you don't care about yourself but i care about you so stop being stupid

and dawon is staring down at you like

"pause, you care about me? like on a scale of 1-10 how muc-"

you kiss him and mutter a "11" and dawon thinks he sees stars

youngbin thanking you profusely like we were worried for his actual literal life

zuho

rather scream into the void than confront how he feels about you

the private twitter account is blowing up with tweets about how he wants to hold your hand and how that makes him pathetic

dawon replying under each of them: tru

rowoon replying under each of them: not true!!!!! love is awesome!!!! pog as chani would say!!!!!!

you talk to him about something and his ears are full of white noise and he cant help but think about how your face is somehow the most beautiful thing he's ever seen and how he could write a whole album about the curve of your nose and the color of your eyes and -

you ask him what he thinks and he can only reply with a sound that is both pained and high pitched and when you raise your eyebrow he's like gtg uh feed my cats

when you're around he disappears to "feed his cats" like . ten times

surprisingly being a lovestruck fool does fuel his ability to make music

but it is also sad and about being heartbroken and the members are like hey do you wanna talk about it and zuho is like no

there are spotify playlists with your name, there are journal entries about you, there are iPhone notes app scribbles about you

he's down bad

everyone knows he's down bad

you also figure out he's down bad and so you finally confront him

except you're like......... zuho who are you in love with? ill help you if i can

and he looks at you like a deer in headlights because that's the most bizarre shit you could ask him

and because of the shock he blurts out the truth

"you. i love you."

screams after and you jump up and he's like i need to leave and you're like AT LEAST LET ME SAY IT BACK?????

rowoon

it's the cluelessism of it all

he looks at you one day and instead of just being a person you are beaming at him like a direct sunray and he's like woah! weird!

he just kind of becomes more clumsy around you since you've got this new effect on him

trips over his big feet, giggles randomly while you're talking, forgets he's in the middle of the street when you're walking by his side and someone has to honk three times for him to start walking again

honestly no one can tell what's wrong with him

because is he like ... is it early onset amnesia? is he just spacing out?

even chani notices the shift because rowoon has gone from annoying him to laying half off the couch with his hand in an empty pringles can

"what are you thinking about?"

rowoon just mutters your name and chani is like .... i don't know about all this but maybe you like them?

reality hits rowoon like a freight truck .... liking you? that's new

he googles 'what to do when you like someone?' literally googles it

tries to show you by playing it cool, tries to show you by showering you in random compliments but he's tongue tied when you smile so he's like i love your hair it looks like. cheese

embarrasses himself over and over and over until he just hunches himself over one day and is like

why is liking someone so hard? isn't it supposed to be easy?

and you're like haha i know the feeling, ive liked someone for so long but he never takes a hint and rowoon is like omg who

and you look at him and you're like well he's a tall clueless handsome guy

and rowoon stares at you like he sounds nice

and you're like you

and he's like oh that's nice - WAIT

taeyang

flirts with you but it flops because he's been flirting with you since you first met

so you cannot tell the difference and taeyang is like what am i doing wrong

inseong: karma for always winking and calling them cute when now you want them to do it back to you

taeyang: shuttup sad old man

inseong: you've been hanging out too much with chani. sniffle

he decides ok so regular flirting doesn't work, so what about lowkey flexing?

he wears the expensive watch and puts his hand in front of you like, hey and you're like hi? and he's like notice anything? and you're like .... um..... oh, your tag is sticking out of your shirt! and taeyang is like .........F

ok so not flexing, what about compliments?

he piles like ten of them on you and you're like oh - thanks, but i don't really like this outfit anyway and he's like....F

ok so not flexing, compliments, let's try playing hard to get

he gives you the cold shoulder when you come over and you immediately are like taeyang are you mad at me if you are im sorry so stop being a weirdo and he's like........F

finally he just reverts to himself and just keeps up the regular flirting and the soft touches and smiles

and he realizes the difference now is when he flirts - he just has to follow up on it

so when he asks " i cant taste my lips, can you do it for me?"

and you reply with "sure" and roll your eyes

he just . does kiss you and you're like oh.

and he's like well what do you say and you're like your lips taste sweet and he's like NO I MEAN-

you just kiss him again because now you get what he actually means LOL

hwiyoung

sulks when you're not around, and then doesn't go near you when you are around

it's like please make up your mind

is the definition of if i stare at you long enough you will fall in love with me right?

but he stares from ten feet away

it takes everyone all their strength to drag him out of his room when you're over and even then he puts his hoodie up and plays with his shoelaces and acts like he's a five year old

when he gets put next to you in the car ride somewhere he almost passes out from holding his breath from nervousness and you turn to him and you're like hwi you're turning purple?!?!?

you tap his shoulder when he isn't looking and call him hwi~ and he thinks his knees like. give out he crumbles to the floor and you're like oh my god are you sick??!?!!?

to put it simply, being in love forces him to lose his human ability to live

gets a pep talk from literally every member about how he cannot act like this. it's giving you the wrong impression and yet he just

he can't do anything about it you enter his personal space and the little nerves in his brain go haywire

"i don't want them to think im being rude, but it's kind of like im allergic to them."

"oh - you're allergic to me?"

hwiyoung turns and you're giving him a look and he's like oh god i mean - i don't - i mean like -

and he doesn't know what to say but you just giggle and you're like "fine, if you're allergic we'll have to make immune"

and he's like blinking like wha-

you wrap your hands around him and he's like !!!! and you're like here just take me in large doses until you build up immunity ok?

hwiyoung nodding because he has forgotten the entirety of the korean language

chani

realizes he's being freaking weird when he bails on his plans to eat and game to hang out with you

prioritizing social interaction over being alone in his room......now that's not normal

yes, ok, so he likes you - but now he's like

no one can ever know that. i will not be left alone if anyone finds out.

unfortunately, he asks jaeyoon of all people if he knows what food you like and jaeyoon is like

OH YOU WANNA ASK THEM ON A DATE RIGHT SO YOU WANNA LOOK UP RESTAURANTS WITH THAT FOOD RIGHT?

chani standing in the doorway like. what. no....

the minute chani starts picking the spot next to you when you're all together is his downfall

the entire world knows how he feels and he's like oh fuck seriously

he helps you go shopping and he comes home and every member is just like :) tell us about the date :)

and he's like SHUTTUP

calls you by a nickname and rowoon almost chokes on his food in surprise, because chani?????? gave someone???? a nickname????? and it isn't a combination of the word ass and hole?????

he cannot escape the fact that little things for others, are big things for him

being attentive and caring and even just smiling in your presence is enough to give away how he's feeling

let alone he dropped a rank in league so everyone is like ah - he's distracted with someone~!

it gets unbearable to a point where chani is like i cant live with these people always bothering me so im just going to confess

he pulls you aside and is like "i want to date you - is that ok?" and you're like of course, was wondering when you'd ask dummy and he's like,,,,,,listen,,,,

assumes the teasing will die down when you both come into the room holding hands

BUT OH IS HE WRONG

inseong: i got dibs on being the wedding planner, eat dirt youngbin

Dark's Heart (part 7)

*Warning there is some heavy stuff going on here but bare with me. also I will instantly write the next part after this. its going to be a feels night sorry but im sending all the good vibes and hugs I can.*

You stand infront of your house waiting for Dark to drive up the street. You look at your phone at the last text you got from him.

Edgelord: Be ready by five. I will be picking you up by then.

Earlier in the day he called you to your surprise just to ask if you were ready for his plans for the date. You joked with him if he was going to make you pay for the dinner but he said simply he was going to handle everything. His tone was different than usual, like he was being serious about the date rather than taking it like it was just his job being fulfilled. You decide not to think about it to much because you already think he is just going it to get to you in the end. That was the whole idea right? For payback for humiliating him. You went into this expecting to get burned in the end already prepared to get hurt in some way. You didn't want to feel anything but you did.

You liked being around him. Even if others only saw him as a evil manipulator to you he was someone who looked like he just needed someone to show him he is much more than that. Yes he likes the power and the rush it gives him to know others can bend to him but you felt even so he must be lonely in the end. He didn't have to come to your house that day you called but he did. You also will not admit to actually feeling him brush his thumb over your lips or that you did notice he was leaning in for a kiss. This was you telling yourself he was only doing to get something out of you but then it felt so real to you.

Your replaying the times you were with him. How he made you feel save instead of afraid. How his word however harsh made you feel better because they spoke the truth. When he handled you he was rough but his hands felt so comforting on you. When he looked at you his eyes only saw another person to throw away but yet they not seemed like they only want to remember every feature of your face.

You hear a car pull up and look up to see Dark's car come in. You walk up to the car and Dark steps out of the car and walks up to you. "If we are going to do this I suppose it has to be proper." Dark opens the car door for you and takes your hand leading you in the passenger seat. He closes it after you get in and goes back to the divers seat. Then he looks at you up and down. "I hoped you would dress up for the occasion." He snaps his fingers and a black mist comes over you and once it disappears your dressed up nicely and even your hair is done. You look at your lap and find a red rose there. "Better." Dark looks at you then starts to drive off.

You fiddle with the rose and sniff it, it smells nice and relaxes you. You look over at Dark, " Well aren't you a gentleman today. So where are we headed to?"

"You will have to wait and see wont you." Dark pulls into a parking lot. You look around to see you are in the city and people are dressed up getting out of their cars heading to the entrance of a restaurant. Dark opens your door and you get out, "This seems really fancy."

"O are you afraid of a little nice dinner?" Dark smirks at you. He has you hold onto his arm and leads you to the restaurant. As he tells the host in the front about his reservation you notice Dark has on cologne, it smells really good. A waiter brings you both to a table that is in a separate room.

You look around to see the room saids reserved on it and when you walk in you are taken back. The room is big, big enough for a dinner party of 15. There is a single table with two chairs in the center close to the wall and dim lighting. You notice there is a small dance floor placed infront of the table that takes up most of the space in the room.

Dark moves your chair for you to sit in and moves you in place before he takes a seat across from you. "Wow you really went all out." You look around and then at Dark who is looking at you intensely.

A waiter comes in and you both order drinks and once you are both alone you don't really know what to say. "So... ummm this must have cost a fortune." You laugh softly. 

"It's worth every penny." Dark saids. You feel nervous now. His gaze on you was making your heart beat faster. Why were you feeling this now? You have been near him before so why is it this time you feel so shy. 

You look at the menu then. The prices were so high that your eyes go wide. "Crap this is expensive. You such this is where you wanted to go? I'm a simple person. I could go for Denny's or Applebees if you want. Hell I could get two tacos at Jack in the Box and be content." The waiter comes in with your drinks, you got water and Dark had some wine.

"No. If I am going to do this then I wanted it do be done right and this is how I see it when I think of a date." Dark sips his wine calmly. He is thinking to himself if he really did go overboard for this. When he thinks of a date he thought of something fancy like this but you look uncomfortable and nervous. He knew you were different but he wanted to try it, to see what it felt like to have a real date.

The waiter asks then if they are ready to order and you have no idea what to get. Instead Dark saids you need more time and the waiter leaves. "Havent you been on a date before? I would have thought you would be used to something like this." Dark tilts his head curious.

"Not like this. My dates consisted of McDonalds and if to be fancy Olive Garden." You shrug. "So all of this is new to me."

"I see." Dark looks off to the side. He thinks I really did go overboard with this.

"But that doesn't mean I don't like this. I mean its really nice." You say fast. You look at the menu again and look back up at Dark. "So recommend anything? Im more of a burger person but if you know something good then get it. I'm warning you though I really can eat so don't you even think of getting a small salad for me." You smile at Dark. He looks back at you as you look at the menu humming to yourself. Dark wants to make that smile reserved only for him and no one else.

When the waiter comes back he orders for you and then tries to make a conversation going. For once he doesn't know what to say. "(Y/N) why am I your favorite ego?"

"What? I thought I told you already or are you that egotistical and need to hear it again." You playfully shack your head at him.

"True but is there more to that?" Dark asks. He wants to know how you see him, if there is more to how you think of him.

"Well.." You look down at the table then back up at him. "You want to know the truth." Dark is curious and sits up straighter. "I was alone for some time. When I was in jr high school I had an old group of friends that decided that they didn't want me around anymore. They said I needed to change the way I am in order to keep hanging out with them. So I left instead. I was alone for quite a while, and I saw that they would tease me not that I was gone from them. I felt so alone and home wasn't any different. My parents didn't like the way I was too and wanted me to be better. I just felt so alone and I ended up acting out. I gave myself piercings and started failing at school. My parents wanted to know what was wrong but when I wanted to tell them no words came out. My parents wanted me to be their perfect child and I wasn't doing that. So now in high school I was with the wrong kind of people.  Missing classes and failing them to. Then once I was a senior I thought what the hell am I doing. I was miserable and didn't like who I was..." You take a breath. " Then I surprisingly graduated and went to college. When I got there I felt still out of place and started dating my now ex. Then one day I was on YouTube and I found Mark. I thought he was funny and I looked more into his videos and I found the ones with you. I saw other peoples interpretation of you and I didn't think much of it other than you were a dark persona. Then "A Date with Darkiplier" came out and you changed so much. You have more depth to you and took on a new role. I saw the live stream where Mark talked about you and said how you were. And yes your only do things for yourself but I saw something different. I thought you looked lonely..." That made Dark look at you curiously. "You looked lonely to me just like the way I felt. I felt dark and alone in my own little void wanting to be let in but I wasn't. So I decided to forget what people think of me and be myself. If they didn't like it fine. I just wanted to be myself without anyone wanting me to change. And you changed from a jump scare into something more and you love the power your image. You don't care about others and what they say about you, you stay to who you are and if someone cant handle that you lead them to the door. I wish I had more confidence like that even if I continue to be myself I still feel nervous toward others wanting me to be what they want me to be. So I admire you for that." You finish with that.

Dark never heard someone say that about him. He wanted to say something but the waiter comes in with food. You get happy and dig in fast. Dark watches you devour your food and he is amused when you have your face stuffed and look up ay him. You swallow and smile at him shyly. You both finish and then Dark stands up walks to a waiter and whispers something to him. When the waiter leaves Dark Stands at the door to the room waiting. Suddenly music begins to play over the speakers in the room. Its a soft piano song. Dark then walks over to you and give you his hand, "Dance with me. If your wondering you have no choice."

You take his hand and he leads you to the center of the dance floor. He places your hands on him where they should go and he places his hand on your waist and holds your other hand. He leads you around and you don't know if you can dance but Dark leads you slowly to keep up with him. The music is so lovely and calm and it makes you feel at peace' it sounds like a love song. Dark lets you go to twirl you and then pulls you back to him but closer to him so your chest is pressed to his. He starts to only sway with you back and forth. You look up at him feeling so warm and fuzzy. Your blushing so much and Dark chuckles, "What? No one has danced with you before?"

"No... I never did go to prom." You say softly.

Dark smiles. Your taken back by it because it feels like a real smile. "Then I'm glad to be the first." He lifts you up and spins with you and slowly brings you down to him. His eyes look so intense but soft. He puts a hand on your cheek brushing it with is thumb. He stops moving and he just looks at you. Your heart feels like it is going to burst out of your chest. Then you hold your breath as Dark slowly leans in but as soon as his lips brush yours you push off from him.

"Please stop it..." You look down at the floor. "I know your only messing with me. You don't need to take it that far."

Dark makes you look back up at him. "And if I'm not messing with you."

"I mean this was your plan all along right? Make me feel like you care and trample over it." You look at him with sad eyes. You get out of his grip and back away from him. "I think I should go home now..."

Dark begins to feel angry. "Im the one messing with you... o no.. your the one who has been messing with me this whole time..." His shell has a small crack. "You always texting me and trying to get to know me. For what? TO get to me? Was that your aim this whole time?"

"What no. I thought you were cool and wanted to talk to you. I know you were going to only just toss me in the end but I did it anyway. I talked to you and I got to spend time with you. I know how you are and I know how you act. But even so I let myself get swept up by you." You begin to tear up.

"Well its not my fault that you have relationship issues and don't know how to trust others. Its not my problem they you have daddy issues that still haunt your judgment in men." Dark huff.

He realizes what he just said at the end. "What..." You look at him hurt. "Why do you know that..."

"I told you its what I do... I find things that hurt others and use it against them. I know your parents separated and you hold resentment to your father because he left you. That's why you felt so unloved by the first man in your life and that is the real reason you acted out. Just someone begging to be noticed by a parent that left you." Dark doesn't finish his thought because you slapped him on the cheek really hard. His eyes are wide and he looks at you.

Your a mess. Tears are coming out like a river. "I knew you would do something to mess with me but I didn't think you stoop that low... I really was confused it you for once liked me... or were you messing with me the whole time. For me.. I meant it.. I meant it and I shouldn't have... I hate you..." You run off instantly.

Dark stands there alone. He breathes deeply and hard. This is what he wanted right to humiliate you. But when he brought up your father he felt so stupid and hates himself. Dark bites his lip so hard it cuts him a small drop of blood coming out of the wound. His fists so clenched it makes his hands ache. He thinks to himself he destroys everything he touches...

Already far from the restaurant you try to find out where you are on your phone so you can walk home. But as you look at it you hear footsteps come close to you. "Wow what are the odds?"

You look up to see the group of people from the park infront of you. "Hey look im in no mood to deal with anyone right now. So please just let it go." You sniffle.

"Awwww come one whats the matter did your boyfriend dump you? I thought so." Girl two laughs.

"O look they are crying poor baby. He saw you are actually not worth it." Guy one shoves you. You move back a little.

"Please leave me alone..." You try to walk away but they have you cornered.

"You thought you were special but your not. Just because you got Dark to notice you." GIrl one pokes you in the chest. "Just because he threatened anyone who comes near you doesn't mean anything."

"He what?" You look up at them.

"What you didn't know? Dark put up a post that he will personally handle anyone who tries to mess with his darling." Boy three saids.

You didn't know he did that. And he said you were his darling... you look back at the restaurant. He said those things because you assumed he was messing with you and when you put that on him he felt like he cant ever have someone and lashed out. You feel stupid. You want to run back to him and go into his arms and tell him your sorry and you should have known... You start to walk over there when girl one grabs you.

"Hey we aren't done with you." You notice guy two has an Icee in his hand and he takes off the top. You try to get out but he already dumps it on your head. You cold all over and feel sticky. The group laughs at you. "And to be honest we aren't really fans of Mark we just kind of wanted to mess with the event but failed and you were the one who took the spotlight." Girl one saids.

"Hey its all on you... this is actually my favorite flavor." You smile at them.

"Stop trying to act better than us!!" Girl two shoves you hard.

You didn't realize you were standing at the edge of the sidewalk. It feels like slow motion as you fall into the street and the car lights shine on you at your side. You hear the car breaks shriek and then you hear someone yell your name. You look to the side fast enough to see Dark running to you looking so panicked. Your still falling over and smile at him with a tear coming down.

"Im sorry..." You whisper.

Then a loud thud sound happens and you black out.

Extensive Backstory for my Fallen Angel AU

[Note: This is regarding his crimes against heaven and how he fell.]

After dying, Pip was sent to heaven like any good boy would be. He was delighted at first, knowing he would get to see his actual family again and be with them. Things took a tide for the worse though when the news came that he wouldn't be able to see Damien again. Ever. It wasn't common for Angels to leave Heaven, and even then they weren't allowed in Hell, and its not like Damien would be allowed up here either, being a demon. It was only common knowledge, Demons and Angels were not allowed to interact under any circumstances. It was forbidden, immoral, wrong.

He couldn't lose Damien, he had been the one thing that had kept him grounded throughout his lifetime. He grew up with that demon boy by his side, and he knew that Damien was good at his core, he knew that he wasn't as bad as everyone made him out to be. That’s why when he was told that there would be no further contact with Damien and he wasn't allowed to attempt any form of contact, he was more than upset. It was like his parents being ripped from him all over again, but this time it hurt so much more.

Tears streamed down Pip's cheeks at the very thought of losing his lover. He had to do something, and he knew that what he was going to do was against EVERYTHING he had ever learned. But he would rather be damned to hell than to be without the love of his life, than to be without the only person who had ever been there. He couldn't stand the thought of losing Damien, and that's when he made the decision to rebel against Heaven itself.

And perhaps Damien's corrupt touch had reached his innocent little heart just a bit too far- because in that moment he didn't feel wrong doing what he did. Despite the tears that shed from his cheeks, not once did he show anger. He was far too calm as he made his way throughout the beautiful heavens. It was the oldest crime in the book, the only one he knew that was for sure to bring the wrath of god. It would get him kicked out of heaven but he didn't care, he had made up his mind. He would be with Damien and if that meant throwing everything away then he would do it.

The gardens of Eden appeared before him and he slowly made his way into them, the lush and gorgeous foliage was illuminated by the light of the Heavens, making everything oh so much more beautiful. He made his way to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil eyes staring up at the Forbidden Fruit. A pain burned in his chest as he began to reach a hand upwards, he knew that this was wrong- immoral. But damn his morals! He couldn't imagine eternity without the only person who stayed there for him through everything.

That was when he heard a voice behind him, a loud- commanding, powerful voice. "Just what do you think you're doing?" The voice commanded an answer, and it was in that moment that Pip knew he had been caught, that he had to stand up for himself for once in his life. He was going to do just that- he wasn't going to be weak now.

Fists balled at his side as he turned on his heels and glared at the Angel before him. It was obvious that this was no Angel normal though, it had to be an Archangel considering not even normal Angels were allowed in the gardens. "You an' ya' stupid rules of Heaven are why im here in the first place!" He screamed, tears falling as he shook with rage. "How dare ya' tell me I'm not allowed any contact with the love of my life? As accepting as Angels are supposed ta' be the lot of ya' certainly are not!" He wasnt going to stop there, the rage was boiling over within him.

"It's unfair!" He was choking on his tears as he barely got his words out "Ya' think ya' can control who I love, jus' 'cause he isn' the best?" He pointed a finger accusingly at the Archangel. "Ya' are good for nothin' if ya' don' think that people like Damien can be good. I've seen it with my own eyes, he is an amazin' person an' yet ya' deny me the right to even communicate with him!"

"Cease this behaviour immediately!" Michael's voice was strong as he moved closer to Pip, "You are in the presence of the General of God, and on behalf of the Lord I'm going to have to have you tried for your actions against Heaven itself." He made his way to the blonde, standing at his side and placing a hand on his shoulder before forcing him onto his knees. "You're to be tried tomorrow morning, and until then you're going to be imprisoned. Don’t think you can get off of this so easily." He paused before scoffing. "We had much higher expectations of you, Phillip Pirrup. It seems that demon really has corrupted you."

Pip couldn't move, it was like a higher power was binding him in place. His wrists falling neatly in front of him with a wave of the Archangel's hand. His face scrunched up in disgust before he spit upon the ground of the holy garden. "Hold a trial for me then, arrest me, but ya' will neva' break my spirit." A pain coursed through his body and everything started to go black. This wasn't being cast out- no this was being subdued, put under so he would be controlled easier. His lids grew heavy as he tried to keep them open, swaying slightly. "Ya' bloody bastard..." He mumbled out, head spinning. The last thing Pip saw was the cement of the garden walkway before his face slammed into it rather harshly, out cold and put under until his trial would take place.

"Get up!" The voices were harsh, yelling at him as he was barely awake. He struggled to pull himself to his feet and off the floor of the damp cell. An ache pounded in his head as he stood there, blinking at the guards. He didn't respond, he didnt know what they wanted. "Your trial is set to happen in five minutes. Be ready."

Pip gave a grunt of understanding before he sighed, looking down at his hands. All he wanted was to be cast out without anyone knowing, and now he knew that people would see him- they would shame him for what he has done. That was always the point of a trial- to make the person feel even worse about what they had done. He flexed his fingers as he stared at them, a million thoughts running through his head. What was he going to do now? Its not like he could take it back and everything would be okay. Besides, that's not what he wanted, he wanted to be cast out- he didn't want to stay here. It was in that moment that Pip knew exactly what he would do at his trial.

And when the holy bells of reckoning rung, their divine sounds radiating throughout the holding cells, Pip held his head high as he was escorted to the court room. He strode with confidence in his step, eyes forward as he tried to ignore the stares of the jury, the stares of the council, the stares of everyone watching. He was brought before the council, directly in the center of the circular room, the guards that were once escorting him had gone, and he was alone now.

His cerulean eyes stared up at the council, not caring for the room of others behind him. What mattered was how he would approach this, and how they would approach this. He had so much business left unsaid, and he was going to make his point across clearly this time.

The head councilman began to speak, voice cold- void of emotion as he read off of a paper. "Phillip Pirrup, you are here today on accounts of treachery against our kingdom. These accounts include the following offenses; disobeying orders of an Archangel, defacing the holy property of our Sacred Garden, and attempting to eat the Forbidden Fruit. How do you plead, Phillip?"

Pip's eyes narrowed as he glared up at the council. "I plead guilty." A gasp was heard from the entirety of the crowd as he spoke. It looked like they weren't expecting him of all people to be guilty of such heinous crimes. He could see the councilman beginning to get ready to speak once more, watching as he shuffled his papers. He took a step forward, speaking before the council could. 

"Do ya' know why I did those things?" He started off, "I did them because I am sick of ya' rules! I will not stand 'ere an' be told to abide by them when you deny me the right to love!" He brought his left hand up, a smile falling across his face. "An' ya' know what I 'ave ta' say, before any of ya' can judge me and damn me to hell?!" His gaze shifted to the audience that was presence. "I say damn ya' rules, and damn ya' all to hell!"

"I, Phillip Pirrup, Renounce my Grace!"

The room went silent as he stuck his left hand into his own chest cavity before he yanked out the very essence from within him. The essence that made him an Angel, the one that was keeping him bound here to heaven. He tossed it to the side, the silvery essence dispersing into the air. "What have you done?!" Shouted a voice from the crowd, a blonde woman pushing her way through the jury to the front. Eyes wide with shock as she stared at Pip.

Pip's eyes widened as he recognized that voice, he had no idea that his own mother would be here. And now that she had seen the stunt he pulled, he could feel his heart breaking. "Mum I 'ad no idea ya' were 'ere...." he started off, going silent. He could see the disappointment on her face, and he knew that he had little time to explain things. "Mum I....I've done this 'cause I'm in love. They- They wont let me be with 'im, an' he was the only one there for me after I lost you an' dad..."

His mother gazed at him with soft eyes "Sweetheart, you didnt have to renounce your grace..you still could have visited him on Earth and when he passed you two could have been together- here. And we could have finally met him- finally had a happy family."

Shaking his head, tears formed in Pip's eyes "No mum...." he started off "We couldn' 'ave...." He was about to explain why when a flash of light occurred in the room. Michael standing before him and he gazed down at Pip with a scathing look on his features.

Michael's hand moved from above Pip's head slowly down to his neck. A halo appearing as he did so, the halo moved from above the blonde's head to around his neck before constricting. Forming a lovely noose as barbed spikes appeared, piercing into the blonde's neck. Blood trickled down his neck as the puncture wounds formed, marking him as forsaken. "Phillip Pirrup. You have been found guilty of the highest treachery among us. Not only have you committed those crimes previously listed- but informants have told us of your relations to a certain Demonic Prince.” The disgust was evident in his tone, and all eyes in the court were disgusted with him for even doing such a thing.

Blood splattered out of Pip's mouth as he opened it to talk, eyes wide. He glanced over at his mom with pleading eyes. "Mum I'm so sorry..." he choked out, struggling to breathe at this point. If anything all it did was make it hard for him to be understood.

His mother shook her head, a disgusted look on her face. "I never would have thought that you would do something like this." She was a woman of faith, and to hear that her son was toying around with a demon prince was one of the most hurtful betrayals she could have ever imagined. "It was nice to see you again Pip, but I didnt raise my son to do such things. You're not the son I raised."

Pip could feel his heart break with those words. He had lost everything, his grace, his position in heaven, and now his mother. Eyes gazed up at Michael as they slowly grew more and more dull. The hope of the child that was once in them gone completely, "His name is Damien." He sneered at Michael. "An' he has shown me far much more hospitality than ya' eva' 'ave."

Michael raised his hand "I, Archangel Michael, and General of God, hereby denounce you as banished." He moved his hand to press against PIp's forehead. A bright light escaping his palm as he banished the blonde from Heaven.

A scream of agony escaped Pip as he felt the holy energy forced out of his body. The light radiated from his mouth and eyes, shooting out in beams. His wings sprouted fully as this happened, turning a dark black and beginning to fall apart at the seams. Feathers fell to the floor, stained the darkest of ink black. The ones that managed to stay on his wings had begun to form holes, becoming tattered as the holy energy was removed from them. The smell of flesh burning was overwhelming, and he could feel a heat rising within his body.

And in a few moments after that, he could feel himself falling. His now broken wings surrounding him like a cocoon, he couldn't open his eyes or breathe, but he knew what was happening. A small bit of fire began to surround him as he was sent downwards into the orbit of Earth. One looking at the sky at the very moment might think of him as a shooting star- but this was no star- this was an angel whom had given up everything for love.
