Chapter 9

(Gloom POV)

This is it. My father will be here any time soon. I'm in the bathroom, adjusting my suit again and again while Pri is in the kitchen. I can hear him opening the oven door and putting the salmon in. I take one last big breath and exist the bathroom. Pri is removing the apron he put on to make sure he doesn't stain his suit while cooking and puts it back on the hook. I walk closer and hug him tightly. He tries to repress a laugh and makes me look at him ''It's going to be alright, Angel.''

''You don't know my father!''

''But soon, I will and it's okay!''

He tries his best to calm me down, but I am really nervous. I hope everything goes well...

And then, there is this knock on the front door. Pri gives me a big smile and goes to open the door. I take a deep breath and follow after him.

(Prionsa POV)

Gloom as been a nervous mess since this morning and I can see how he tensed at the sound of the door so I go to open it. I open the door and get overwhelmed by this gigantic wave of energy irradiating from Gloom's father ''Evening, mortal!'' he says in his guttural voice. He is wearing the same black tuxedo I saw him wearing during the 'selfie incident'. I find myself completly frozen out of fear upon seeing him, but it all goes away when Gloom complains ''Daaad! Stop it!''

I blink a few times and move out of the way to let him in. He spin around graciously while I close the door. He raise his hand for me to shake it while he introduce himself ''Greetings! I have lots of name, Satan, Lucifer, Hades, Pluto... I could go on and on, but I really like the human name Steve! And you are?'' I can see Gloom hiding his face in his hand and groaning out of embarrassment.

''I'm Prionsa! I'm glad to finally meet you!'' I shake his hand and invit ehim to sit at the table ''The meal will be ready soon. Take a seat!''

The dinner goes smoothly, everyone enjoys the meal and while we eat, we talk about this and that. The more we talk, the more Gloom is embarrassed and I find it really cute and funny. His father and I kind of team up to make him feel even more embarrassed as the conversation goes! Lucifer, or 'Steve', looks at me with a wide smile ''I'm really impressed that you managed to make him wear an actual suit. In 26 years I never succeded!'' Gloom sigh and rolls his eyes

''Well...Let's say that I have my ways~'' I answer, giving some knowing eyes to my now blushing boyfriend.

We then talk about the funny things Gloom did when he was a little kid. His father goes on this monologue of all the things he did that he thinks was either adorable or really funny. Said monologue only being interupted by Gloom's whining ''I was only five!''

''I was a kid, I didn't know!''

''I'm sure you are making that one up!'' I can't help but laugh out loud at all of them.

Lucifer has both his elbows on the table and leaning closer to me in a'secretive' way ''I guess you saw that he can now control his wings...'' I nod in agreement ''Well, when he was about four years old, he was really jealous of all the other Angels that were flying around. For some reason he wasn't able to let them out like the others so one day...'' He looks at his son with this knowing smile ''One day, he climbed one of the highest tower of the castle and decided to jump, thinking that the fear would make his wings appear''my eyes goes wide as look at both Gloom and his father. Seeing Gloom's reaction, he didn't remember that part of his childhood either ''Luckily for him, a fury saw him and catched him before he hit the ground!''

''Oh god!'' I exclaim.

''No, I'm not. I know we look a like, but I'm not him! Anyways, the funniest part is that, when the fury catched him, he thought for asecond that he was the one flying... The face he made when he realised what was happening! The only thing I saw when the fury brought him back to me was a flying and pouting four years old, screaming to the fury to let him go!''

Gloom rolled his eyes for the hundredth time this evening ''Can we like, talk about something else than myself!?''

''What? I thought that's what fathers are suppose to do... Embarrass their son!''

I look down at my now empty plate and sigh ''Yeah... They are supposeto do that...'' I can feel the concern look they are both giving me''Sorry about that... I didn't mean to down the mood...''

Gloom puts a reassuring hand on top of mine ''It's okay, love, what isit?''

''Well, my father is really into christianity and let's say that he never really accepted the fact that I love other men... Sometimes I wish he was...'' I bit my lips as I don't want to say something I will regret, but Gloom's father raise an eyebrow and says ''Dead?''

I shake my head and add ''More... open... About all of this... Like you are!''

''Oh well... I can't really help with that.. But if you ever change your mind on the dead part, I can help, you know!''

M yeyes goes wide and start to feel a wave of panic flow through me, but it ease up a bit when Gloom shout ''DAADD!!?? NO! Just... NO! You can't... decide who dies!''

Lucifer laugh out loud ''I know, but I know people...''

I put my hands up in surrender ''I don't hate him that much. But thanks for offering?''

We talk a little more of random thing until it was time for Gloom's father to leave ''Thanks for having me over!''

''Yeah, it was great!'' and we shake each other's hand. He turns to his son and ruffles his hair, earning yet another groan from Gloom ''Take care of each other!''

''Goodnight, dad.''

''Goodnight, son!'' and he snaps himself back to the underworld.

Gloom slowly walks to the couch and let himself fall face first on it ''This was worst than hell!''

''Really? I enjoyed every minutes of it!''

''Of course! You weren't the one being picked at!''

I pull him in a comforting hug and slowly brush my fingers in his hair. I can feel him melt under my touch ''Let's get ready to bed now, shall we?'' He nods slightly and stands back up and takes me bridal style ''Thanks... for everything...'' he tells me. I give him a gentle kiss and we head to the bedroom.
