Ronald snarled out. William was his friend and did not deserve this. Kingsly was especially special to Ronald and he always protected his best friend even from himself sometimes.
Sebastian went to say something only for Ronald to punch him straight across the jaw knocking Sebastian to the ground.
“Don’t you dare open your damn mouth demon! You may play as an Angel, but I know what you are! William was right about your kind! You are merely vermin who should be eliminated! Leeches that don’t deserve a place in this world!’
“You called yourself William’s friend! Friends don’t do shit like this to other friends! As far as I am concerned you can go back to hell Sebastian!”
Ronald yelled since he was pissed. Kingsly rushed to Sebastian.
“It’s not his fault Ronald. I asked him to do it.”
Kingsly said as he helped Sebastian up off the ground as Sebastian checked his jaw since he thought it might be broken.
“He is a man! A grown man who can say no and mean it!”
Ronald yelled and Sebastian simply nodded bowing to the man.
“You are correct. I am at fault for this. I knew better and I am not a worthy friend of William’s or Kingsly’s. I shall pack my things and leave as soon as we arrive at home.”
Sebastian said and Ronald kicked Sebastian between the legs making Sebastian double over in pain.
“No, you will stay and make up for your stupid mistakes. You will hope to become the true friend William and Kingsly deserve or I will take my scythe to your balls next time. This is your one warning Sebastian. I will be watching you from now on.”
Ronald said as he pulled Kingsly away from the man who was trying to recover from his poor testicles being kicked. Sebastian had indeed suffered many wounds, had suffered all sorts of stab wounds, he had even been shot in the head more than once, however this pain was something he did not wish to experience again.
“Where were you two going?”
Ronald asked Kingsly since he ignored Sebastian who was doing his best to catch his breath.
“We were going to the gym and to the hall of weapons.”
Kingsly said feeling bad for Sebastian since it really wasn’t all his fault. Kingsly felt he should have taken the brunt of Ronald’s anger, but poor Sebastian always seemed to get the short end of the stick.
“Well I am going with you. It is apparent you need a babysitter Kingsly.”
Ronald waited for Sebastian to recover and then walked with the two to the gym first. Ronald left them in the group of people knowing the two couldn’t get into trouble with all these people here so he could go change into his work out gear.
“Are you ok Sebastian?”
Kingsly asked Sebastian who seemed to be limping a bit still.
“I am fine.”
Sebastian said irritably. He wasn’t fine, but he wasn’t going to let this get to him. Right now, he needed to focus on training.
“Where are the treadmills that move faster than humans?”
Sebastian asked and Kingsly took him over to one of the treadmills.
“These will go as fast as you like. There is no limit to their speed.”
Kingsly said and Sebastian nodded getting on the machine making it go faster and faster until he was literally flying on the thing. It amazed Kingsly who was fast, but not that fast and not for the amount of time Sebastian was running on it.
Going over to the treadmill next to Sebastian he started running at a rather fast pace himself, but his boobs were bouncing making it a bit uncomfortable. He needed one of those sport’s bras. Men were looking at the woman running staring at those boobs and those long legs. The sweats were still tight enough to emphasize those pretty curves of Kingsly’s and men were getting on the treadmills just to watch him.
Sebastian did not pay any attention to Kingsly he was too focused on his pace and improving his endurance. He ran for over two hours at the same pace with a bunch of reapers watching him now wondering what the crap he was. It was towards the end his wings came out and he started to slow down. Ronald was amazed by the Angel as he ran on a treadmill further away.
Some of the female reapers in the gym started cooing and throwing themselves at Sebastian who simply smiled politely and walked past them. He then asked Kingsly about the weights.
“All these weights are the same as the treadmills. You determine the weight. If you want very little weight then it will be light, if you want ten tons it will do ten tons.”
Sebastian simply nodded Sebastian lifted the equivalent of a locomotive, engine, and all, as he used the barbells strengthening his arms ignoring his wings which were crushed under him as he lifted the weights. Thing with the weights was they showed the image of what one was lifting and Ronald about passed out cold seeing Sebastian lift this weight as if it were nothing. Really, he knew Sebastian had allowed him to hurt him since the man was damn near indestructible. Ronald hoped to never feel a hit from Sebastian.
Using the weights from every machine, Sebastian felt better and stronger. He would like to come here every day if that was all right with William and Kingsly.
It would do Christian good to come here also so perhaps Anne could watch the boys and give them their lessons while they were away. It was important to keep in top form for the battles ahead.
Kingsly knew that Sebastian now had an entourage of admirers who would come to the gym just to see the Angel work out. His shirt was off and those magnificent muscles were showing making several female and some male reaper’s fan themselves. Sebastian was ignoring everyone paying attention to his workout.
Although Kingsly felt guilty for what she did with Sebastian he could not help but admire him. He was so very handsome and had such a nice body, but William was so much better in so many other ways. Kingsly realized how much he truly loved William and he would never hurt his beloved again.
When Sebastian finished, he made his wings disappear and put his shirt back on. Several female reapers came up to him giving him their phone numbers telling him to call them. Some of the males asked him his secrets to being able to lift so much and run so fast. Sebastian simply told them he was a demon once and this was natural for him to do. Sebastian ended up with a few more friends who said they would love to come work out with him if he was in the area again.
Ronald noted that everyone seemed to really like Sebastian, but Ronald was irritated with the man. He couldn’t trust him and wouldn’t. Sebastian had used Kingsly as far as he was concerned and he was no fucking Angel. The man was a demon and Ronald would bank on it that Sebastian would turn on them all someday.
Walking over to the hall of weapons, Sebastian was as excited as Kingsly at trying out some of these tools of torture and death. When he got in the main area though he noted that many of the so-called weapons were merely farm tools. There was a pitch fork scythe, a pair of trimming sheers like William’s, and another weed trimmer like Ronald’s. Most of the weapons were basic things, guns, knives, swords, but that wasn’t what caught Sebastian’s eyes. It was a whip, a long bull whip with blades throughout it. It was a beautiful weapon. Sebastian could do some real damage with something like this.
“You can touch the weapons and these are only a few of them. There is a practice area with dummies you can use these on. We also have human puppets to cut up that really bleed if you want the added gore.”
Kingsly said as he watched Sebastian caress the whip in his hand.
“I think I would like to try this one on a human puppet.”
Kingsly took Sebastian to the training range where reapers were using all sorts of weapons to practice with. There was also a room for viewing the reapers with their tools for testing and just simple enjoyment.
Kingsly went with Ronald to watch Sebastian with the whip in one of the viewing rooms. Sebastian tested the whip a few times checking its strength and seeing sparks fly as he handled it expertly. Then he started making mincemeat out of the human puppet. He finally beheaded the puppet with the whip wrappi
ng it around the neck of the thing and yanking back.
“Bassy is so good!”
Kingsly gushed since he loved to watch reapers maim their targets.
“Kingsly stop making goo, goo eyes at Sebastian.”
Ronald said tersely. Kingsly simply ignored Ronald. He wasn’t doing anything wrong.
“My turn.”
Kingsly took the whip from Sebastian and the young reapers added a new target for Kingsly.
Using the whip like a wild maniac Kingsly whipped the human puppet making blood spurt everywhere including on the window behind him where Sebastian was sitting with Ronald.
“I want you to know I hate you.”
Ronald said to Sebastian.
“I gathered that much.”
Sebastian said dryly. He wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
“I have loved Kingsly for I don’t know how long and you ruined him in one day. You ruined my image of Kingsly. I will never forgive you for that.’
“If you turn on us I will come after you and I will kill you. I don’t care how I will do it, but it will be done.”
Ronald said angrily.
“Kingsly isn’t completely blameless Ronald.”
Sebastian stated honestly since he was sick of being the brunt of everyone’s frustrations.
“Kingsly was perfect. When he was a man, he was perfect just the way he was and I hated William for being such an ass to him. Now Kingsly is a woman and he is still perfect. He was perfect being whatever he wanted to be.’
“I hate that you made him cry. I hate that you can simply sit here without feeling the slightest bit of remorse for your actions…”
Ronald fumed as he so wanted to hit Sebastian again.
“Wait one god damn minute! I do feel remorse. I do feel bad about what happened. William is dear to me and so is Kingsly. I fucked up. It isn’t like you are perfect yourself. I am not going to turn on anyone and you can hate me all you want. I don’t care if you do, but Kingsly is not perfect. We both made a mistake. I made one with William too, it isn’t like either one of them did something that they don’t regret and I am in the middle of it because I was too stupid to say no and mean it.’
“You don’t understand Angels. You have no bloody clue how hard it is for us to resist temptation. I am trying damn it. Things could have gotten much more out of hand, but they didn’t. I did not do anything more to Kingsly than what I did with William. In fact, I did less with Kingsly.’
“I work daily on control and it is not easy. You are not a demon or Angel so you don’t know what it is like so do not lecture me on who is perfect and who is not. I fucked up and at least I admit to it. That is much better than being someone who cannot see the flaws in people since I have yet to meet a perfect being.”
Sebastian said angrily since he was not going to sit here and take more abuse.
“You also fucked around with William? You can’t just keep it in your pants, can you?”
Ronald asked angrily.
“Kingsly knows about that and as I said I have a hard time with control. I almost lost my husband over it.”
Sebastian said in frustration.
“Well good. Perhaps he should have left your sorry ass. You are a god damn slut.”
Ronald looked at Sebastian like he was the asshole of the universe.
“I am an Angel. Maybe you should read more about our kind before assuming anything.”
Sebastian ignored Ronald for now. He was not going to explain himself to this little shit. Angels were not perfect beings, there was no such thing as a perfect living creature except for Calis whom Sebastian thought was perfection itself.
Suddenly, the Grim Reaper arrived and did the come-hither finger to Sebastian with his eyes glowing red in fury. Sebastian swallowed and followed the Archangel out of the room. Raphael made Sebastian follow him all the way to his office and when he opened the door Sebastian could not see to save his life. He was completely blind. Raphael closed the door behind them pulling Sebastian into the room.
“You will get used to the light Sebastian. You are going to be in here for a while.”
Raphael said then he pulled out an ancient clock. Sebastian could see the clock as its numbers were black as night and it had an unearthly glow to it.
“I am going to turn back the hands of time. You are going to correct a mistake. I did not think it would come to this, but it is necessary. You will remain in here until the time has passed and then we shall have a conversation child.”
Raphael stated as Sebastian watched the clock and the hands started to go backwards. Everything seemed to spin giving Sebastian a raging headache. He saw himself in the clock being pulled away from Kingsly just as they were going into the woods by the Grim Reaper. Kingsly was standing looking confused and the Grim Reaper said something to Kingsly before dragging Sebastian away with him.
Then Sebastian saw Raphael use his scythe and cut straight through him causing the past self to disappear. Once again Kingsly was talked to and the young reaper cried for a moment only for Raphael to tell Kingsly something else then he left disappearing from sight as he once again was standing in the office with the clock in hand.
It was still very bright in the room but the clock started slowing down and then started going the right direction again clicking like a normal clock as the images faded.
“I cut you with my scythe to send you here. That way it seems you left. Sebastian, I honestly don’t know what I am going to do with you, young man. I sent you to Gabriel to learn control and you are still failing at it.’
“Kingsly is not to be touched by you. He is William’s wife. As far as the incident in the woods, it never happened. After you leave this office only you will retain the memory of what had occurred between you and Kingsly.’
“You need to use common sense. If it feels wrong, then do not do it. It is a simple concept. Learn it. I will hurt you if you hurt that little reaper of mine. I am very protective of Kingsly and you have been warned. If you do it again, I will reap your soul. I can do it. I can kill an Angel.’
“How would you like to explain your death to Calis? Why do you not think of his feelings and of him? He is your husband. If you wish to remain married, act like a married man.’
“We have a war going on and I do not need your little problems becoming my problems. Kingsly is off limits. Is that understood?”
Raphael lectured in frustration. He hated to scold a grown man, but it seemed he had to.
“Yes, it is understood.”
Sebastian stated feeling like shit. He would not touch Kingsly sexually even if the reaper begged him to.
“Good. Now I am sending you back. You will go to the gym; you will go to the weapons hall once again. You will waste time there training Sebastian. Kingsly and Ronald will go with you. I sent Ronald to collect Kingsly so that the two of them could meet you there. When you are done, you will remind yourself of why you love Calis and you will cater to him. You will stop losing control of yourself or we will send you away again for another session. I do not think you wish to be away from Calis that long, do you?”
Raphael asked and Sebastian turned white.
“No, I don’t want to be away from him that long.”
Sebastian worried that if he left again, Calis would hurt himself.
“Very well, I will send you on your way. Remember, William is your best friend. He is a very dear friend to you. You are lucky to have him as a friend because if I were him and I found out what you were doing to my wife there would be nothing recognizable left of you. Keep your hands to yourself and your tongue in your mouth.”
Raphael said as he once again cut through Sebastian with his scythe sending Sebastian to the front of the gym where Sebastian entered finding Ronald and Kingsly waving him over.
After another grueling three hours of working out, getting phone numbers from female reapers, and making friends again Sebastian went with Kingsly over to the hall of weapons. Kingsly watched as Sebastian once ag
ain used the whip this time he really let the human puppet have it as he vented out all his frustrations with the whip before finally beheading the thing. At this point he did have a light sheen of sweat on him.
Kingsly once again went nuts with the whip with Ronald laughing at Kingsly this time and trying to get Sebastian to smile with him. Sebastian had to admit it was nice not to have Ronald trying to kill him. Apparently, the whole mess had been forgotten.
