《Angel of Death》Chapter 8
Advertisement
(Gloom POV)
Two days later, Pri is on his day off and we are getting ready to go to shopping for a tux. Yes he convinced me! It's really hard for me to tell him no, okay? And besides, it's not really the shopping thing that stress me out... It is more the fact that I can't go shoppin gwith my mask on so... I have to disguise my eyes and horns. Pri is sitting on the bathroom vanity beside me as I look myself in the mirror. He tries to support me, but even if I concentrate real hard,I can't do it! I slightly punch the sink out of frustation.
(Prionsa POV)
I can see how frustrated Gloom is. He told me Angels of Death can change their appearance to fit in with other humans. But for some reason, he never managed to do it ''What stops you from doing it?''
''I...I don't know! I'm over thinking I guess. There is so many possible colors for eyes that I can't... decide which one...''
''Well pick brown, it's the most common color. And I think you would look great with brown eyes. Do you want my eyes as a reference?''
He nods and I look myself in the mirror as he does the same. He looks at my eyes for a few seconds and then he closes his. When he opens them again, they are brown exactly like mine and the red is gone! I clap and give him a big hug ''You did it!''
''Yeah... Now I have really beautiful eyes~''
''Your eyes are wonderful and... Oooohh! I see what you did there! Thank you~''
He smiles and gives me a quick kiss and he turns back to his reflection''Now for the hardest part... The horns...''
''Do you need my forehead for reference?''
He laugh and gently nudge my arm. He close his eyes again and I can see his horns starting to shrink in. After a minute, he let out a sigh and groan loudly ''I can't hide them any more than that!''
They were only some inches long, but they were still too long to be hiddenby his hair. I then get an idea. I go to my closet and search in one of my old boxes. I take out this old black beanie of Panic! At the disco and I put it on his head ''There you go!''
He looks at the beanie and smile widely ''I didn't know you were an emo nigthmare too!''
''We all go through phases...''
''I wanna see pictures of that phase!''
''No you don't!''

He walks to the old photo albums I have ''Are they in this one?''
''NOOO!!''
He laugh devishly as I try to take it back, but he raise his arm all the way above his head and I can't reach it. He is always in a crouching position, so I tend to forget that he is taller than me! ''Let's go now, we have shopping to do!''
I hope he will forget about this album when we will come back, but he put it on the top of the bookcase, in plain sight to make sure he sees it when he comes back... And also too high for me to reach it! I cross my arms on my chest and say with a pout ''You're lucky I love you or else...''
He raises one of his eyebrow ''Or else what?''
I pull the beanie down on his eyes and run for the door. He laugh loudly and catch up, putting his hand in mine as we walk to the store I work to. I will finally be able to buy him a tuxedo!
When we step in the store, all my coworkers circle around Gloom and ask him so many questions at the same time ''So you're the guy, huh?''
''How did you both meet?''
''What do you do for a living?''
''Are you really wearing a beanie to try tuxedos?''
''Where are you from?''
I can see the fear and anxiety in my lover's eyes so I step in and shield him from them ''Okay guys, I already told you everything you need to know about him! Including the fact that he is not the most social person in the world. Now stop overstepping boundaries and let us find a tux in peace, please!''
They all apologie and go back to whatever they were doing.
I make him try on some clothes, but nothing seems to fit him well. It either look too square or too funky for him... And then Pat, one of my coworker, walk by with both his hands behind his back ''I think I have a perfect suit for him.'' Gloom and I raise an eyebrow and wait for him to show us. He looks at Gloom and say with a smirk ''But you have to answer one question first!''
He rolls his eyes and gesture him to ask ''What is the first thing you noticed in Pri? You know, what made you fall for him?''
Gloom looks down at his shoes and reply ''his.. soul...''
Pat let out a small ''Aawww!'' and give him this dark red goth style tuxedo and tells him to try it on. I can see how nervous he is out of a sudden. He liked my soul? Does that mean he... I shake my head, this is not the time to think about it. I wait a few minutes for him to come out of the fitting room and when I see that he doesn't come out, I go to knock at the door ''Are you okay in there?''

(Gloom POV)
I feel great walking beside Pri, finally I can blend in with other humans without having to wear my mask and making myself invisible! But the great feeling goes away when so many people rush to me and ask so many questions the second we step into the store. Pri push them away, but the anxiety is here now and it's hard to make it go away... And the fact that nothing fits me doesn't help. And when that guy comes and ask what is the first thing I loved about Prionsa... I didn't dare to look at him... He most likely figured out now that he was suppose to... to... and I was supposed to... guide him... I lock myself in the fitting room and try to take deep breath to calm down, but when I see that my eyes are red again and that my beanie is slowly going up because of my horns... I can feel a panic attack slowly rising inside of me. I curl myself on the corner of the smal lfitting room and start to wonder if I should just snap myself away... Then I hear a small knock on the door ''Are you okay in there?''
It'sPri! What do I do ''Y....yye....yes?''
''Angel, open the door please?''
I manage to stand up and unlock the door and I go back in the corner of the room. He kneels in front of me right after closing the door behind him and he gently rub my arm ''Need help with some breathing exercices?''
I nod slightly as he gives me a small smile and put on of my hand on his chest ''Okay, so follow my lead...'' And he started to take deep breath. I had hard time following him in the begining, but after a few breathing, I can finally breath normally ''Thanks...''
He kisses me on the forehead ''You're welcome, angel. Now look at my eyes in the mirror like we did back home, okay?'' I do as he says and I can transform back my eyes and horns. I smile and thank him again ''What would I do without you?''
''Listening to PG-13 musics in your room down there, I guess! Now try this suit on so I can see how good looking you are!''
He leaves the fitting room and I can hear whispering on the other side. I laugh a little, looks like his coworkers have twisted mind! So I put on a white buttoned up shirt, a dark red vest and pants and finally this goth style dark red tuxedo on. I look myself in the mirror and I have to confess... I look great! I hear a knock again''So?''
''I like it, but I will need a hat or something and... I can't put this necktie on...''
I jump out of suprise as a black top hat with a red ribbon fly in the room by the top of the door and land on my head ''Thanks!''
I trade the beanie for the hat and walk out and tall and proud. I can't help but to smile stupidly has I see Pri with his mouth ajar and wide eyes ''wow, Gloom! It... perfectly fits you!''
I give him the black necktie and he ties it around my neck and put it in place. He then tug on it and push me into a loving kiss ''So...That is why you wanted me to have a necktie instead of a bowtie, isn't it?''
He put is hands up in a questionning way ''Mayybbbeee?...''
I can't help but smirk and kiss him again ''Now, what about you?''
He looks around and starts to take some random clothes and go into the fitting room. And now it is my turn to look at him in awe. He wears a white buttoned up shirt and a bright red vest, his tuxedo and pants are black and he has a red bowtie. He goes to to get a red pocket square and fold it nicely and put it in his front pocket. Even if we don't exactly have the same red, we still fit perfectly.
We change back to our normal clothes and pay for everything and before going back home, we stop by the grocery store to get everything we need for the dinner tomorrow. Pri decided to bake some marmalade glazed salmon with roasted veggies. He said it sounds more fancy than it actually is, but I'm still impressed! He told me I didn't have to do anything so it ease my anxiety for tomorrow a bit, but still... I am not looking forward to it... I wonder how my father will behave in front of my boyfriend...

The Forgotten Hero
Long ago, in the world of Thyne, the Alliance of the Free Races, a name they had given themselves, summoned a hundred humans from another dimension. Praised as heroes by the people, they rejoiced that they had been able to acquire pure, mana deficient humans that wanted to aid them in their time of need, ignoring the black, archaic slave collars around their necks or the depressed, almost hate-filled expressions that they received when interacting with them. After Ten years of bloody war, the dark races were pushed back deep into their territories. Both sides were near breaking point and desperate to end the war once and for all. In a bargain, the twelve surviving heroes launched a high-risk mission, utilising advanced tactics from their home world to kill the Demon Lord. In exchange, they would be sent home, along with the magically preserved corpses of their comrades, though in truth, they knew that even if they returned, they would never be the same. Legends say that, upon ambushing the Demon Lord in his castle, they finally understood the plight of the world, and in the last act of heroism, sacrificed their lives, sealing him in an eternal prison so his essence would not be able to create another. With the loss of the Demon Lord, and no chance for another to be born, the dark races quickly surrendered and the free races celebrated, honouring the noble sacrifice of the heroes before quickly forgetting about them as they returned to their everyday lives. However, legends are rarely truthful, embellished by the victors in order to earn praise as well as hide the less desirable aspects of their deeds. Trapped in the Demon Lord's throne room inside the Demonic Palace, which even taking a single step on its desecrated grounds is punished by death, two figures remain motionless. They had long run out of insults and threats to trade and now they waited. For what, not even the Gods knew.
