Reapers and Angels

by Margie Eileen Jones

  Christian said as the tired cranky boy started to fuss a bit. Christian though calmed the child down and rocked him to sleep. They all needed a break from the little wild thing so it was time to let grownups have their grownup time.

  Sean finally fell asleep much to Christian’s relief as he tucked his son into bed. The little wings came out and his little cherub looked so cute he had to kiss that little cheek. Going into the next room Sebastian was dressed and ready to go to the gym and the hall of weapons.

  “So, get dressed Christian, we are going to go take care of business while Sean is sleeping. Ashton and Calis are here so they can watch him.”

  Sebastian said and Christian went to his bedroom in frustration getting changed. He really wanted to spend time making love to Ashton, but of course Sebastian would want to go prepare for battle. It wasn’t like anything was happening so what was the bloody point?

  Christian came out looking at Sebastian like he was a real jerk, but figured there was no point in arguing with the man. He wouldn’t listen anyway especially now that he had killed one demon. It was like some big accomplishment and after talking to the Angels who were guarding them Baldric said it was some little demon that was lost. It hadn’t even been a challenge; it had just been a massacre. In some ways, the Baldric had felt kind of bad for the little demon since he was basically harmless and a mere babe.

  Going to the gym, Sebastian immediately got on the treadmill going faster than even before while Christian just looked at Sebastian like the idiot was trying to kill himself. There was no point in pushing yourself to the point you were going to pass out. Christian was going at a very fast pace himself, but was smart enough to stay at a pace that he could go at for longer than Sebastian. He ran for four hours where Sebastian ran for three. Sebastian then went over to the weights lifting twice what he lifted before. Christian merely went with a steady weight of two locomotives also going for longer than Sebastian with women cooing at both men and Sebastian flirting with them as he was working out. Christian just rolled his eyes at Sebastian who was now lifting the weights with two female reapers sitting on them as they giggled like lovesick school girls.

  The two men were greeted by some friends as they worked out and they asked how Christian was doing paying more attention to him since Sebastian was busy showing off to the women. Christian suddenly had someone petting his wings as one of the young reapers was leaning against the pole with a lovesick look on his face staring at the Angel while petting his wings.

  “You are so beautiful……”

  The young man said and Christian slapped a hand against his head shaking it as several of his friend started laughing.

  “That is Reginald. He is new so don’t be too rough on him.”

  Bobby said as he pat Christian on the back.

  “Young man, if you do not stop petting me I am going to hurt you.”

  Christian stood up and towered over the young reaper who looked shocked. He thought Angels were nice people. An Angel really wouldn’t hurt him, would he?

  “But you’re an Angel. Don’t you have a code or something?”

  Reginald asked since he was in love and Christian was perfect. He had never seen such a gorgeous man before. Reginald was so enthralled with the Angel he was swooning.

  “We kill things much like demons. You obviously do not know much about Angels young man.”

  Christian went to another machine to work out. Reginald followed him.

  “Well then teach me about them. I will be a great student and I won’t get in your way. Please just give me a chance.”

  Reginald said with this look on his face of pure adoration.

  “I don’t have time to teach you. Are there not books here you can read?”

  Christian asked as he lifted enough weight to lift a battleship since he was agitated. The boy simply would not leave him alone.

  “Yes, but you learn best by experience. You are experienced I am sure.”

  Reginald cooed only for Kingsly to come over and knock Reginald out of the way.

  “Go to class Reginald and quit flirting with Christian. He will kill you.”

  Kingsly said as Christian was indeed ready to drop a weight right on Reginald’s head.

  “Will you please talk to Sebastian? My students are late for class and he is flirting with all of them!”

  Kingsly roared as Christian looked over and there were indeed several females feeling Sebastian’s arms cooing at how strong and handsome he was with him enjoying every minute of it. He figured he could handle a few of them and had a few numbers to meet up with them in one of their dorm rooms.

  “Sebastian, you need to stop it and you girls need to get to class.”

  Christian said as the girls frowned and Sebastian frowned a bit since he was having fun. Two of the girls also ran their fingers over Christian before walking away.

  Kingsly looked at Sebastian in annoyance.

  “Really Sebastian, these girls are less than half your age.”

  Kingsly stated as he wandered off to go train his students. Sometimes Sebastian was a pain in the ass.

  Christian looked at Sebastian like he was a bad boy. The man had no shame what so ever.

  “He is right you know.”

  Christian said and Sebastian shrugged wiping off his shoulders with a towel.

  “I can handle two or three of them at a time. Just because you don’t want a woman doesn’t mean I have to be like you.”

  Sebastian said in annoyance. The lust wasn’t fading and he had been really pushing himself. He had to do something or he was going to hurt Calis. Christian was having the same issue, but he had more time to control it since he was older than Sebastian.

  “It isn’t that I don’t find others attractive, I do. I am just doing all I can to be there for my son and Ashton. Ashton is too important to me to fuck around on even with women.”

  Sebastian sighed as he held his head in his hands.

  “I don’t know what I am going to do Christian. I can’t leave Calis and I need more training. I can’t keep controlling myself all the damn time.”

  Sebastian groaned in frustration since he wanted a woman to relieve his tensions since Calis would not let him fuck Christian. Anne dying really screwed things up although he did not want to say so.

  “You know there are the officers. I believe there is a female amongst them who could help.”

  Christian said and Sebastian frowned.

  “Laura is a bitch. She is also a lesbian since she likes women Christian. As far as I know I am still a man and I am not changing just for one night.”

  Sebastian got up then Christian put a hand on his shoulder.

  “Sebastian, you will be fine. We will find someone and if not, we will find other methods to use. Perhaps we just need to go find something to kill. We can talk to the Archangels and see if they have any new information.”

  Christian said and Sebastian nodded as he got up stretching a bit. Really, all Sebastian could think of lately was throwing Christian down on the bed and fucking him like an animal. They had become very close and if anyone could help Christian could, it was just Calis wouldn’t allow it.

  As they got to the hall of weapons, Christian and Sebastian went absolutely nuts on each other with the weapons to the point they were both bleeding rather badly. They both felt it and the only option they had was to have the Archangels either talk to Calis and Ashton or find them each someone to relieve their lust by killing them.

  Raphael had been watching the two Angels and wondered what the problem was. He figured the two were just bored and needed to release some tension. After all, they had each other so there was no reason for such violence unless something was wrong. However, when he noted how much blood the two spilt he decided to intervene.

  Raphael was in his Grim Reaper form and went to the two Angels who were both panting trying to catch their breaths. Their swords were dripping blood and their gym clothes were in tatters. Everyone was staring at the two like th
ey lost their minds.

  “Come with me.”

  Raphael said with his skeletal face showing and his red eyes glowing.

  The two Angels followed Raphael into his office with both of them being blinded by the light. Raphael had them sit as he led them to the desk and waited for their eyes to adjust.

  “What is going on with you two? You were ready to kill each other and don’t tell me to mind my own business.”

  Raphael said tersely as he changed forms and stood towering above them while the two Angels tried to use their powers to heal themselves as well as fix their clothing. Calis and Ashton would have a fit if they saw them like this.

  “It is the lust my Lord. We both feel it and we have no outlet for it.”

  Christian stated in frustration. It had faded a bit, but it was still strong.

  “You have each other. There is no reason for this.”

  Raphael said not understanding.

  “Calis and Ashton do not want us to be intimate with each other. Calis considers my having sex with any man cheating and it hurts him. He wants me to use the lust I have with him and I cannot. I have broken his hip in doing so and I will not hurt him like that anymore. With this kind of lust, I might just kill him which he doesn’t seem to understand. He allows me women, but the only Angel woman we had to take care of this is dead and Christian is not interested in women.”

  Raphael frowned since this was not good.

  “How long has this lust been building up?”

  Raphael asked since he wanted to know.

  “It has been years. I have controlled myself for years as has Christian. We need to kill something or find an outlet of some sort before we do end up killing each other.”

  Sebastian said and Raphael thought about this. He would talk to Calis and Ashton. There was no current battle going on and until the ok from his mate Michael was given, no one was to go kill anyone just yet.

  “I will go talk to the boys. I assume you have tried to consider Laura, Sebastian?”

  Raphael asked since he thought at least Laura should be able to help one of them.

  “Laura won’t help. She is a lesbian. She only wants women and I do not want to die forcing myself on her.”

  Sebastian said since Laura was powerful enough to really damage him.

  “You two stay here and I shall talk to Calis and Ashton. We will figure something out.”

  Raphael disappeared and traveled through the portal to where Ashton was sitting on his computer. After talking to the young man, Ashton nodded and felt kind of bad for his dearest love. He did not know things were that bad and he really did not feel like being killed by his own lover.

  Calis was just getting ready to leave his office to check on Sean when Raphael stopped him and had Calis sit. He had a long talk with Calis who had some valid points and really did not want to hear that Sebastian could kill him. Calis did not believe it.

  “Calis I know this is hard for you, but until you grow up you have to let Sebastian do what he needs. He isn’t doing this to hurt you, he is doing it because he doesn’t want to hurt you. It is something he must do on occasion and it is as though the four of you are already married to each other. You all live in the same house, you share the same food, you sleep only a room apart. You don’t really want Sebastian with women either. I know you don’t.’

  “You can trust Christian and you care for him. Anne is dead and now they do not have anyone to help them except each other. This lust is something you can only understand as an adult and I know you do not wish to grow up since you do not wish to let go of things. I respect that and so does Sebastian. However, if you do not let him do this he will eventually turn on you raping you and possibly killing you. He would die if that happened.’

  “Christian and Sebastian nearly killed each other today and it is getting worse. If you love him, let him do what he needs.”

  Raphael said and Calis sobbed into his hands. He didn’t want to let Sebastian sleep with someone else. He was willing to die for his dearest love. However, he couldn’t let Sebastian and Christian kill each other. He also couldn’t let Christian kill Ashton.

  What if Raphael was telling the truth and Sebastian really did hurt him? Sebastian might die and Calis couldn’t live with himself if that happened. They had to think about Sean too.

  “Will Sean have this problem when he becomes an adult?”

  Calis asked through his tears. He worried about his little boy.

  “Possibly, but by then we hope to have a cure for it. We are working on one. Angels are used to constant battle and if they are not battling they are finding other ways to fuel their lust. I have my beloved mate Michael who helps me although we see each other rarely. Once we have a cure we will let you know, but until then please be understanding. He doesn’t want to cheat on you and really it isn’t cheating. It is really the only way to help them both.”

  Raphael said and Calis nodded as the tears came.

  “I want to grow up, I really do. I just don’t want to lose myself in the process.’

  “If they do this, I want a promise. I want them to do it away from home. I also do not want to know about it. I would feel inadequate and worthless……….”

  Calis cried as he sobbed.

  “Is that what is bothering you? Your self-worth to him? Child, you mean more to Sebastian than anyone and it is not necessarily pleasure that is felt during the lust filled moments. It is merely lust. It means something when you love someone and Sebastian loves you. He feels the most pleasure in his life with you. He can tell you this himself, but I already read it in his heart.’

  “I want you to close your eyes little one and I shall teach you all about Angels and about Sebastian’s love for you.”

  Raphael said as he had Calis close his eyes and placed his hands gently on Calis’s head. A light flowed into Calis and he saw everything about Angels that he never knew before which were things Sebastian had once told William. Angels were used to constant battle and without that outlet they had other ways to deal with their lust to remain fairly pure creatures able to resist most tempting situations.

  When Calis felt Sebastian’s love for him, he gasped in shock. He now understood the sacrifice that Sebastian had made on his part and the sacrifices he was still making. Calis saw all of Sebastian’s hard work and knew what had to be done. He could accept it now and he felt much better.

  “Now my child you understand. Christian and Sebastian cannot always go to a secluded location when this hits. You will have to accept that sometimes they need to be together although their feelings for you and Ashton will never change. You are a family and you must deal with this as a family.”

  Calis nodded feeling as if a weight on his heart had been lifted. He was ok with this as long as it was only Christian that Sebastian was with when he needed to be.

  “Now I am going to send your beloved Sebastian and Christian home. I am going to ask you and Ashton to let them be alone for a while. Do not open the door and do not bother them. They will be extremely dangerous and quite sore when done. They have been suppressing instincts for years so they may end up hurting each other. In fact, they already did hurt each other quite badly at the hall of weapons in which they have yet to fully heal. When war comes, things will settle down for a while, but until they do you may end up being the one babying your husband. I do hope you have a few first aid items around.”

  Raphael said and Calis nodded since he did have a good first aid kit with lots of bandages. They had Sean so they needed to always be prepared just in case.

  “Good since I have a feeling you will need it. Now I am going to give Ashton the same privilege I gave you so he has a full understanding of what is going on. Just because Christian and Sebastian need to be together on occasion does not mean they do not love you. Perhaps you will all learn to love each other a lot more and appreciate the true meaning of family.”

  Raphael patted Calis’s head who jumped up and hugged Raphael.

  “Thank
you so much. You have really helped me and Sebastian.”

  Calis said as Raphael held the child feeling the deep love the boy had for his husband.

  “You are a treasure Calis and Sebastian is lucky to have you.”

  Raphael then went to Ashton and did the same for the boy who had been feeling rather stressed and sad. When Raphael was done, Ashton felt much better and smiled at Calis.

  “Remember cherubs also have this instinct so do not think it only holds true for Angels. Someday you both will see what I mean.”

  Raphael said as he disappeared to go gather Sebastian and Christian.

  Raphael returned to Christian and Sebastian who were indeed hurting physically not only from the lust, but from cutting the shit out of each other. The two had really done some serious damage and as they moved to get comfortable wounds reopened and bled through their clothing.
