My Angel, My Light, My Lover (Mature, Closed)

[Alastin]

He sipped his soup gently as he looked outside the snowfall and scooted slightly till he was sitting side-by-side with her his leg against hers. He gave a gentle smile to her as he sipped his soup feeling the hot liquid warm him up. He continued sipping it now and then and just layed his head against her's for a brief moment. He was happy that she trusted him that she was willing to let him try and prove that he was worthy to her. This pure and innocent angel that he wanted to keep under his wings.

She is like a princess the way she eats.

I like it, makes me feel like a knight.

"So how long have you been studying here?"

[Celeste]

She sat down her spoon gently as he spoke and placed both hands in her lap as she turned her gaze to meet his. He was touching her yet again and she wasn't exactly sure why he seemed to need to be touching her so much. She wasn't used to such things and so she moved her leg out of the way.

"I have been here for one week but I spent it in the hospital wing. This is my first time out in the real academy." she said softly adressing his question. "And yourself?"

She turned back to her soup and lightly picking up her spoon she began to eat once more.

[Alastin]

Why was she at the hospital?

You're asking the wrong guy.

I was just thinking to myself...

He shook his head for a moment and gave a mutter to himself that Dark didn't choose to answer in response.

"I've only been here for a week myself as well, I'm still settling in though I've already signed up for a class. Or at least Dark signed up for a class which he hasn't told me yet."

He looked up at the ceiling for a moment as he just gave a small smile. There were just so many things that could and could not be done. He took a bite of his toasted bread after he buttered it and gave a soft content sigh.

[Celeste]

Warmth of a different kind seemed to fill her as she decided that she had eaten enough soup. She sipped on her tea a few more times before rising. Carefully, as if each step was calculated she made her way back to the lunch line and handed the woman her tray after disposing of the trash.

"Thank you very much. It was delicious." she said softly as the women seemed to melt at her actions and words.

Turning she made her way back to the table where Drake sat and she sat back down. Her attention however was on the gentle snow fall that had begun in the courtyard. A gentle smile on her face as she let her hand support her cheek while she watched the small flakes flutter to the ground.

[Alastin]

Drake had taken his tray up as well and when he sat back beside Celeste he instead took her soft hand. Looking up at her he gave a warm smile as he stood up with her slowly. Kissing her cheek gently he headed outside of the cafeteria with her. His fingers gently caressed the back of her hand before he entwined his fingers with her. He walked back outside into the snow-covered courtyard and stepped back finally letting go.

"See you in the skies."

DARK!

He transformed into Dark the black wings snapping out and he only smiled at her and took to the air waiting for her to join him.

[Celeste]

He led her outside and back into the coldness that was the courtyard during the snow fall. For a moment she looked up at the sky and let the flakes fall down on her face feeling the wetness as her warm skin melted them on impact.

She saw Drake transform into Dark and she stepped back. Trusting one was not meaning she trusted the other right away. She looked up at Dark and sat down on the bench.

"But I ... do not.. know you yet." she said softly as she looked up at him biting her lower lip.

[Alastin]

Dark snapped out his wings and came down for a landing gliding till he landed right in front of her. His wings came out and enfolded her pulling Celeste close to him. Tilting her head up he just gave that small and gentle smile that Drake did. He was inside Dark as Dark was inside him. Dark gave a smile to her. He ran his fingers across her cheek and just held her close for that moment.

"Worry not for Drake will yell at me if I don't behave."

Dark....

Not your turn.

[Celeste]

The pull of his wings dragged the young girl off the bench and into his arms. There he held her gently to him while looking into her eyes. Her heart raced for a few moments. Already having a fast heart rate due to her avian blood she could hear it drumming in her ears as her sensitive hearing picked it up.

"Well.. okay." she said softly and still nervously.

She stepped back from his embrace and her eyes swirled. The irises fighting for which color to take as they turned a deep violet before shifting into red. Thrusting back her shoulders her wings sprung forth and she flapped them for a moment before jumping off the ground and spiraling up into the air like a graceful dove.

[Alastin]

He watched her wings unfold in awe for a moment as he could understand Drake's personal captivation with them. They were elegant and beautiful wings mixed with the delicate grace of a dove but, the epitome of wonder like an angel. Her flying was a graceful one graceful as a small dove that had been yearning to be free. But, was this what really mattered? He shook his head for a moment as he took to the sky as well in a hard flap. His powerful wings shooting him back into the air to join this beautiful angel. An angel who had learned to take fly even during the hardest of times. He had to fly with her he knew that much now.

I think I'll keep quiet this time around.

That's a rare occurence.

Hush.

He spiraled up to meet her and gently took her hand when he was close enough.

"Like a dove you fly but, like an eagle you soar. High in the sky where your heart is yearning to be free."

Dark called as he gently pulled her in the direction of flying over Babylos.

[Celeste]

The wind running through her feathers. Lifting her up gentle letting her glide upon it. She loved to fly it was the one exhilerating feeling she had ever found in her life. Nothing as far as she had experienced ever beat flying. This was exactly what she was made for.

Up and up she rose until she could feel the strain. Unused to flying had made it so that flying too high made her use some mana to help. But with practice she intended to make it so she could fly higher. She loved to soar with the birds. It was so beautiful out here. Up in the sky looking down on the world below.

She felt Dark take her hand and she gently folded hers over his and smiled at him shyly. Closing her eyes for a moment the true angel just enjoyed the sense of being in the air. She had no idea what he meant by his phrase but for once she wasn't going to ask. The city was beautiful beneath them and she stopped flapping letting herself glide through the sky. She let go of Dark's hand for a moment corkscrewing above into the sky befor pulling her wings in and diving down to the Earth below only a giggle heard by Dark as she passed him quickly.

Down and down it began to look like she was falling like she wasn't going to save herself. Plumeting towards the Earth closer and closer the came. The ground so very close now.

SNAP

Her wings made an audible sound as she thrust her wings out catching the wind and she began to glide only five feet off the ground before she began to flap once more bringing her back up into the sky. A large building with a flat roof. Landing with practiced ease she set down and smiled.

[Alastin]

The snow-covered city below was a beautiful site to behold and it felt even greater to share this experiance with another. Another who could soar the skies like he could with natural wings. He shifted ever so slightly as he felt her hand tighten around her's and enjoyed the cool wind blowing in his face as he flew. Suddenly he felt her let go and smiled at her as he watched her free fall. Drake screamed out in worry but, Dark knew that she would be fine. He watched her in that beautiful dive and then came out of it only a few feet from the ground.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?!

Those with avian qualities no when to pull up at the last moment.

He glided gently towards her as he almost seemed to lazily come down like a snowflake. He watched her land on a roof and was soon down beside her and gave a smile at her.

"You fly very well."

Dark said with a laugh as Drake only huffed slightly. He saw her smile and walked towards her enfolding her, since her wings were folded with his wings. He kissed her forehead gently.

"Very well indeed I am impressed by your grace."

[Celeste]

She felt the warm embrace of Dark once more as he pulled her into him wrapping his wings around her. She fell into his embrace and lay her head on his shoulder. He was taller than Drake only slightly but she lay more on his chest than his shoulder as it would have been with Drake.

"Thank you, I just..... learned to really fly ....and use them well.... a week ago." she said with a gentle smile as she felt really warm in his embrace.

He offered such warmth and comfort they both did. There was something about them. But she didn't understand why it was like this. Why they liked her and wanted to be with her so much. She looked up into Dark's eyes and smiled gently.

"Can I ask... you a question.. Mr. Dark?" she asked. "Why is it... you and Drake... are so interested in me?"

[Alastin]

HAHAHAHA Mr. Dark...

CAN IT!

Why you're just trying to....

"Because Celeste you are a beautiful and pure soul that has not been corrupted by the world. There is something about you that calls to both of us. It's a deep innate calling that I can not describe neither can Drake. There is no way to describe it only perhaps show you if you're willing."

He began to run his fingers through her hair gently and softly as he wanted to make her feel cherished.

"It's something that can only be shown through action Celeste as it is often poorly explained."

...

Yes?

Nothing.

Now who's the pervert?

[Celeste]

The stars were so beautiful tonight and after Mr. Dark explained something she was still wholey unsure of she moved away from him. She let her wings go disappearing into her body once more and her eyes taking that beautiful ice blue color. She walked to the center of the roof they stood on and she sat down looking up at the sky.

"The sky is my favorite place. Perhaps.. because I.. could only see .. it for sixteen years. I didn't... know that the ... ground existed. If it hadn't... been for the ... televsison sometimes... I think I would be... more ignorant than.. I am now." she said softly as she lay back on the roof and stared up at the night sky.

She almost blended in with the snow that lay beneath her yet she didn't seem to even feel the chill of it. She lay her hands on her flat stomach and gazed up. Her eyes reflecting the stars back at them.

[Alastin]

Dark, let me.

Fine.

Once Dark was transformed back to Drake he picked up the feather that stayed behind and walked over till he was sitting beside Celeste. Drake sat down and carefully threaded the black raven feather into her hair and listened to her words. He shook his head for a moment and turned his gaze with her to the sky. The sky was always beautiful always had a majestic and untamed elegance to it. Perhaps that was why Dark loved flying so much and Drake didn't mind.

"You're not as ignorant as you think Celeste. Yet, there is so much that you can learn. Just watch the world around you. And trust your friends."

He laid down beside her and threaded his fingers into her's kissing her cheek gently. He rested his head against her shoulder and began to sing softly in Russian. He had a beautiful voice one that was suited to singing as he sang a peaceful song.
