You woke up, happy and relieved to have a day off. You listened closely for any sound and smiled when you were met with silence. Finally a day where you didn’t need to look after anyone, a day where you could do what you wanted. You waited for that day for weeks! You didn’t have time to see any of your friends, well except the brothers, you enjoyed the time spent with them but every moment with them was some kind of adventure and chaos. You missed being bored. You stretched your body and stood up. You went to the kitchen, looking around to make sure you were really alone. The brothers had to go somewhere you weren’t sure because as soon as you heard that they would be leaving, you started to plan your day and stop listening to their plans. You made your breakfast and sat at the table. You listened to the silence, only the sound of you eating breakfast echoing in the room.
While eating breakfast, you had decided to visit your friends at the Purgatory hall. You had missed them. You would quickly say hello to them at RAD but as soon as it was done, you were dragged away by one of the brothers for one thing or another. You didn’t even have time to text them. They sent you text messages but they were always left on read with an answer half finished and were never sent. You felt bad that you neglected your friendship with them.
You were finally ready to get outside, smiling stupidly at seeing your friends. When you opened the door, you saw Simeon pacing in front of the entrance. You stopped and watched him. He hadn’t noticed you. Your heart swelled at the sight of the angel. You always found him beautiful and even if he wasn’t, his kindness and sweetness would still make you fall for him. You haven’t told him how you felt, you figured an angel like him had other things to think about and you didn’t think he would like you as well. After a few seconds, he stopped and started to walk towards the door. He finally noticed you. You thought he would be happy to see you but instead of joy you saw anger in his eyes. You gasped at the intensity of that anger. He pushed past you and opened the door, he held it so you could get inside too. He looked around. “Are the brothers here?” You winced at his harsh tone but shook your head to answer his question. He closed the door a bit violently and you jumped when it closed with a loud bang. You had never seen the angel angry before. Not even a tiny bit. His usual smile had disappeared to a scowl but you still found him beautiful. He was pacing the hallway. Anger sparking his eyes. You could only watch as you didn’t know what was happening. He took a big breath and let it out slowly then he stood in front of you.
You felt small as you had to lift your head to look at him. You cowered under his cold stare. You couldn’t bear to look at him so you averted your gaze. What made this sweet being so angry? Was it you? He cleared his throat so you would look back at him. “Are we not friends anymore?” You stared at him in silence. He took your silence as a positive answer to his question. “Luke is devastated. You had been ignoring his text messages. You barely talked to him at RAD. You don’t come to bake with him anymore. What did we do?” Your heart broke thinking about the little angel, sad. You shook your head but before you could answer, he started to pace again. “You never answered any of my calls or messages either. What did we do to you, huh?” You braced yourself and approached him slowly. You touched slightly his arm so he would stop moving. “Simeon, I know. I miss you too. I apologise sincerely about neglecting you. I didn’t have a moment for myself for weeks.” Tears started to form in your eyes. All the exhaustion of the past weeks was coming down on you all at once. “I know it is not an excuse but I am sorry. Actually, I was on my way to come see you.”
He moved his head to the side so he would have a peek at your face. His anger started to go away when he saw the tears in your eyes. You lowered your head in shame. “You know, I feel so guilty. I really miss you, and Luke. But the brothers were really demanding of my attention and you know how they are, it’s hard to say no.” You were watching your tears falling on the floor. You didn’t think, Simeon, of all the beings here, would get this upset. You didn’t think he cared about you that much. You felt happy at the thought but felt guilty to have upset him.
He approached you and tilted your head with his hands. He wiped your tears with his thumbs. His heart shattered at the sight of your tears and that he was the one making you cry. His anger melted away and was replaced by sorrow. He didn’t realise how much you had been holding up and he had forgotten you were such a people pleaser that you barely had time for yourself. You stopped crying and that was when you realised how close you were to the angel. The feeling of his hands on your cheeks made your heart skip a beat and when your eyes fell into his, your heart sped his pace. You felt a blush forming but you couldn’t look away from his eyes. You saw the sorrow in them but you saw another emotion that was slowly taking over the other. Admiration? Love? Dedication? You frowned, wondering how it was possible that he would feel that. He let go of one of your cheeks and grabbed your hand to put it above his heart. You felt the fast heartbeat and looked at him quizzically. He smiled his signature smile. “I am truly sorry about my outburst. I… I missed you so much and knowing you spent all that time with the brothers made me mad. I need you. I want to spend more time in your company.” Your heart raced even more at his words so you did the same. You took one of his hand and put it above your heart, a small smile appearing on your face. “I want to spend time with you too. You don’t know how much I missed you.” He took a step closer, hand still above your heart. Your heart skipped a beat which he felt. It made his smile grow bigger. Your breathing was faster the closer he got. You took a step back but he snaked his arm around your waist to prevent you from escaping the closeness and pulled you closer to him. He moved the hand that was on your chest and put it behind your head to tilt it. He slowly moved his face towards yours. He was slow and deliberate with his movements, his grip on your waist and head loosened so you could move if you didn’t like where this is going but you didn’t. You looked at him expectantly.
He stopped an inch away from your lips and looked into your eyes to make sure you were comfortable. You closed the gap to confirm you were. The kiss was soft and a bit hesitant. You pulled away first so you could wrap your arms around his neck. He smiled and pressed you closer to him. He kissed you again but this time, he was more confident and passionate. He pulled away and took your hands. “Are the brothers gone all day?” You chuckled and nodded. “Great” and he led you to your bedroom.
