(Prionsa POV)
We are about to celebrate our six months together! Gloom is almost always in my apartment now. He never really liked his room in the underworld, so he is really thankful that I let him stay here. I mean, It's not a big sacrifice! And now that we are together most of the time, I can tell him to go and do his job whenever I see his mask flashing. He still doesn't like to do it, but I know how to make him feel better when he comes back!
(Gloom POV)
I'm sitting on the couch while I'm looking through my phone, secretly planning something for our six month anniversay together when my mask flashs... again! I try to hide it under the blanket, but Pri sees me and look at me with this 'motherly' look ''Gloomy! Are you hiding your mask?''
''Noooo?''
He cross his arms over his chest and stares at me. I stare back, but I ultimatly lose the 'fight', I sigh loudly in annoyance and put on my mask. And I see so many names... A whole list... All in the same location... No no no no! Not again!? ''Pri... I.. I don't want to go!''
''You have to and you know it.'' He tells me in a calming voice.
''You don't understand! I...''
He sits in front of me and put his forehead on the top of my mask and say in a quiet and reassuring voice ''I will be here when you come back okay? No matter how late you come back, I will wait for you right here.''
I take a deep breath, nods my head and snap myself to the location...It hasn't started yet, but I can see atleast five other Angels walking in the school. I jog to them and we all enter the school together and then we can hear it... This very distinctive sound. I try to stop myself from shaking as I slowly walk to the room I'm assigned to. I take a deep breath and open the door... The murderer is long gone, I can see that some survived, but some didn't make it. I step on top of a table and raise my hands up to get all the souls attention ''Hey there Kiddos, I'm here to help you...'' I'm suprised my voice isn't shaking, but I'm really happy it didn't, I have to be strong for them...
(Prionsa POV)
I waited all day for Gloom to come back... He left in the morning and he just came back and it is now 8:38PM. He pops up in the middle of the living room and collapse on the couch. I put my book down and starts to play with his hair ''Long day at work?''
He let out a big and long sigh, picks up the remote and turns on the tv. On the news I can read the big tittle 'Another mass shooting in a high school'. I take the remote and turn off the tv and pull him in a sweet embrace ''Do you want to talk about it?''
''They were all so scared and confused... We were like atleast five Angels to help all those young souls... too young souls...''
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
''It's okay now, those who survived are safe now... And the others... Well you helped them find their ways.'' I give him a sweet little kiss on the forehead and hug him even tighter. We stay like that until with both fall asleep on the couch, still fully dressed.
I guess it is not what you were expecting when I said that I 'knew what to do'... Well sometimes it is what you think... Other times, well... He need comfort and love... Even if he is an Angel of Death, he is still really caring and sensitive. And things like what happened today are really hard on him...
(Gloom POV)
It took all day to bring all the souls to the underworld. Some didn't want to leave, obviously, but we managed to bring everyone in. I snap myself back home and I'm really relieved to see Pri still waiting for me like he promised. We snuggle on the couch until we both fal lasleep. I really am the luckiest demon of the underworld! I really have to organize something special for him on our anniversary.
The big day finally comes and I decided to do something simple. He is not the fanciest guy and I am not either. So I baked some fresh home made cookies, made some sandwiches and bought some fruits and veggies and put it all in a picnic basket along with apple juice. Yes apple juice, we both don't like alcohol so... Juice it is. I searched litterally everywhere in the world for the perfect spot for this outdoor dinner and I finally found it... Near a small lake in the middle of nowhere in Quebec,Canada. I set the blanket on the ground and the basket on it and look around. I feel like it's missing something. I think for a few second and I get this idea. I kneel on the blanket, close my eyes and concentrate. Hyacinths of all sorts of colors along with roses starts to grow all around the blanket. I open my eyes and now I'm happy with the result. I snap myself back to the apartment to meet Pri ''Take a jacket, it's a little chill outside!''
''It's like 77°F (or 25°C if you don't use Farenheit)...''
''Not where we are going!'' He looks at me with this puzzled eyes and I only smirk at him. He still goes to get a jacket and I gently hug him ''Ready?''
''Y..yes...'' I can feel him holding me tight. He is still not used of teleporting around, so he doesn't really like it, but he trust me so he let me do it.
(Prionsa POV)
I close my eyes as I'm waiting for Gloom to snap his fingers. Once he does I feel the chill air hitting my face. He didn't lie, it is cold outside ''Where are we?''
''In the middle of nowhere in Quebec!''
I look in awe to all the flowers around us. Hyacinths and ros eseverywhere, with all those vibrants colors. Red, pink, purple, blue,yellow, green, orange... All organised to create a beatiful rainbow. This time I don't they have any particular meaning other than being majestic ''Gloom.. it's... perfect!''
''I'm glad you like it!'' He says while giving me this big smile. I can't help but to get lost in his eyes for a bit. But the smells of cookies pull me out of my staring ''Did you bake cookies!?''
''Yup! But they are for dessert only! Are you hungry?''
I nod and sit on the soft blanket and I pick a white and red hyacinth and put it in the basket. A little memory of this special day. A simple flower meaning 'loveliness' and 'play time'. A perfect memory for that evening that I spent with the love of my life.
Everything is delicious and I couldn't be happier, but as the sun is setting, it's getting more and more cold so we decide to head back home. But before leaving, I take off my jacket and ask ''A selfie before leaving?''
''Fine...'' He puts on his mask, but I don't mind anymore. I know he doesn't like being taken in photo, so only the fact that he is in the picture is enough for me now. I put the setting sun behind us to get the perfect background and Gloom goes behind me ''3...2...1, CHEESE!'' at the last second, I see him lifting his mask and sticking out his tongue! We both laugh and I kiss him ''Thanks!''
''Anything for you, my love!''
I pick up the basket with everything in it, hug him tightly and wait for the snap that will bring us back home.
