Chapter Text
What Virgil was oblivious to throughout his childhood was how Remy would look at Debacle when the king wasn’t paying attention. The lovesick eyes he gave the fallen angel.
Remy would often tell Virgil stories of two beautiful angels of great power and how the elder of the two realized that despite the fact that he was in love with the other, his feelings were not returned. So he assumed another identity and simply disappeared from their lives. He watched his friend but from a distance and watched as he fell for another who did not return his feelings. His heart broke as he watched it happen but under a new persona offered the angel comfort when he was cast out.
“What happened then, Rem-rem?” young Virgil asked. “What happen to the angels?”
Remy smiled and swallowed harshly then sighed and tucked Virgil into bed more snugly “They lived happily ever after of course. Now go to sleep, little demon.” he gently kissed the boy’s head and left, sadness in his heart knowing that he was a long way from happily ever after.
