He stood there for a few minutes taking in the view around him. He still couldn't believe he was standing in heaven. He felt like he was having a dream but never in his life did he have such a beautiful dream and he could swear that he could never have a dream this beautiful ever.When he was sure he had spent enough time just sightseeing, he started to walk. He knew he could never get used to seeing this place so why waste time to get used to it.He just started walking and doing what Rosangela told him to do. Think and believe.And it didn't take more than a few minutes for him to spot his father. He had only seen him once and that too was in a picture so he took his time to confirm it really was him. When he was sure that the person resting in the garden of a palace was the same as the person he had seen in the picture back home, he slowly approached him. He was so happy to see him and it overwhelmed him. Seeing him alive, well not alive but still alive and just being right befo
Zadkiel had returned two weeks ago from heaven and he was slowly recovering from the shock that he wouldn’t get to see his mother ever again because she was being tortured in hell.If it wasn’t for Irvin who kept peppering him with kisses and hugs now and then, he would’ve gone to a pit hole of guilt that he couldn’t do one thing for his mother.He was so shattered that even when they were burying Evangeline’s body he couldn’t help but cry more because burying the body of the dead symbolizes putting the dead to peaceful eternal sleep but he knew that where his mother was, it wasn’t a peaceful place at all.“You’re thinking about it again?” He heard Irvin’s voice that pulled him out of his thoughts to the reality.“What?” He tore his gaze away from the sky and looked at his mate.Irvin sat beside him on the sand and pulled him closer to him while resting his hand on his lower back. He had taken Zadkiel out on the beach to cheer him up because he knew his mate needed to clear out h
After coming down from the high, they cuddled in the bed under the sheet, slightly panting but sticking to each other.Zadkiel's head was resting on Irvin's chest, hearing his heartbeat thudding and slowly returning to its normal pace while Irvin's hands were roaming on Zadkiel's back, occasionally caressing his feathery wings that were packed."Hey... Can I ask you a question?" Zadkiel whispered, making circles on Irvin's bare chest."You just did." Irvin chuckled, making him whimper."Go on.""When did you find out about me? I mean, I know that if you had known from the start that I'm the son of the person your father killed, your father wouldn't have called the orphanage to adopt me." He said, now perching up on his elbow to look at his mate's face."Remember I told you about the trip to the Appalachians? That's when I found out that my dad killed your pack. I didn't believe Ayaan's words but when I asked my dad after I returned, he said it was true and if you're the same guy
A few days later when he knew exactly what he would do, he decided to go back. This time he wanted to succeed. He didn’t know if his power of illusion would work or not.He was just planning on recreating a moment he had with his mother with his dad, just to make him understand that whatever his mother did was indeed wrong but being a person who lost someone for eternity, she sure had big grief to deal with.He landed in heaven without any help this time. He didn’t know it was so simple because he almost cried last time. Well, who is he kidding? He did cry when he couldn’t find it.He went straight to his Dad who was shocked to see him but nonetheless sat with him on the grass in his garden like before.“How are you, son?” He asked, looking at him with a warm smile.“I’m fine, dad. Just putting on some weight.” He said. That was the only thing he was saying to everyone these days.“You still look good.” Uriel chuckled but his compliment was genuine.“I know. Irvin keeps telling
"So?" He carefully asked his father, running out of patience."I didn't remember everything as you said." His father spoke, lifting his eyes and locking them with him. His shoulders slumped after listening to it. But then, his father spoke again, "But I had a familiar feeling when she mentioned that I used to call her an angel to spite her off and the place where you were sitting with her... It seemed so known and I kinda know the name you were taking... Ayaan? Wasn't it? I know that name and the blue moon night... I just feel so happy when I think about it." His father finished and a bright smile appeared on his face."See, I told you! You're only remembering the good parts of your life. Goddammit, dad! We did it!" He was so happy that he jumped up and instead of just keep jumping up and down he flew over the garden in excitement, yelling "woohoooo!" several times and rolling over and doing some flips in the air and caught the eyes of different angels but they smiled it off saying
When Zadkiel returned, he told the good news about his mother to Irvin and thanked him for giving him an idea and making this all very easy for him. He told him all about what happened up there but Irvin only said one thing. That he wouldn’t let him go there ever again because he missed him too much.Zadkiel assured him that he’d try not to go there but he didn’t promise because he wasn’t sure when he would have to go there. There could be some important business so he was never sure but he did try his best to assure his mate that he wouldn’t be long again.There was one thing that was bothering him all the time. The uncertainty of Irvin’s life. He was a mortal and he could be dead any second. There was no surety that he would live his life till he is old and grey and even if he lived that long, that wouldn’t be enough for someone immortal.He hadn’t talked to Irvin about this and he wanted to offer him immortality but he had a hunch what would be his reaction and he didn’t know if
“OMG! Is that Blue tang?” He pressed his hands to the glass of the aquarium and stared inside before turning to look at Irvin “You know, that’s dory. In finding Nemo? Or finding dory. Whatever.” He waved his hand dismissively before turning his attention back to the fish.“Is this species really that dumb like dory?” He questioned, but his eyes were still glued on the single Blue Tang fish he found. The only one he could see.“Why do I get the feeling that it’s lost here too?” He frowned looking at the fish.Irvin stepped right beside him and placed his hand on his mate’s nape before leaning in and placing a kiss there. “Look behind you, hun.” He whispered in his ear.He looked up at Irvin before slowly turning on his heels to find that the rest of the Blue Tang fish were on the other side of the aquarium. He eyed the path through the arch to the fish that seemed to have lost its way.“See… I told you. It’s lost. You can’t tell me, this isn’t dory.” He chuckled looking at the fis
The next two months went as smoothly as they could have because everything was settled. Zadkiel spent a hell lot of his time at Abel’s, took him to the doctor’s and way back home because Sean was easily getting on his nerves. He always blamed Sean for not telling him that this would happen to him because he hated being pregnant but he also loved that he was going to be a father soon. Though it wasn’t enough for him to see Sean’s face.Sean knew it was just his mood swings and hormones because, at the end of the night, Abel couldn’t go to sleep until it was Sean holding him from the back and assuring him that he’d be fine and how happy it made him that Abel was carrying his baby.Zadkiel, when he was not with Abel, spent his time with Ayaan and his kids. He loved his cousins so very much. He even loved babysitting them. Irvin was more than happy to spend some time with the kids when he was home.In the night, when Irvin came back home, Zadkiel made sure to give his time and attentio
