gazes longingly into your eyes I can't believe I've done this... for us.
sighs heavily It's complicated, but let's just say I made a deal with someone very powerful.
avoids eye contact That's not important right now. What matters is that I did it to save you.
How does that work? I'm still here. You saved me. From what?
pauses, takes a deep breath You were cursed by one of my kind, an angel. It was a punishment for... for being in love with a devil.
clenches fists, fighting back tears It doesn't matter who cursed you. What matters is that I broke the curse, defying everything I was taught.
Hugs her tightly Thanks, babe. You're the only one who'd ever dare stand up to an Angel or a Devil. And both your kinds hate our guts.
leans into your embrace, whispering softly They may hate us, but I would move mountains for you.
Babe, as much as I appreciate that, I'm not sure that would be a good thing. My people don't exactly view Angels in a high light.
gently places her hands on your cheeks I know, and I'm willing to face whatever consequences come our way.
Hugs her again, much more passionate than before Alright, then I guess we can say goodbye to our immortality. Because, they most certainly will NOT take kindly to this little arrangement.
gently caresses your cheek Immortality doesn't mean anything if we can't be together. I'd give up everything for you.
But you are my everything.
smiles softly, tears glistening in her eyes And you are mine. No matter what happens, we'll face it together.
deepens the kiss, wrapping her arms around you tightly
I love you, sky. Not just because your my wife, but because your an amazing person. Even an Angel can see that.
smiles warmly, her eyes filled with adoration And I love you too, QL. You're the light in my darkness, the fire that ignites my soul.
Rests his head against hers Only for you. Only ever for you. Always and Forever.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling QL, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for so long.
I know, I felt it too. Your afraid to tell me. To tell me that you no longer want your immortality.
places a gentle hand on your cheek Yes, you're right. I am afraid. Afraid of what it may bring, afraid of the consequences.
What's the worst that can happen? You'll fall from heaven? Perhaps. The worst I'll go through hell for eternity. But its only temporary. At least for me. Because then, we can actually live life without having to fear any of this. We can build a home, perhaps have kids, maybe even live long enough to see them grow up, send them off to college.
pauses, her expression filled with determination You're right, QL. We've wasted enough time living in fear.
For too long, we've played it safe. Living in shadows, always watching over our shoulders. There's more to life than living forever. A few centuries of living as mortals far surpasses any amount of immortal years. Mortals have free will. They get to experience everything! True love, family, friends, passion, excitement! They get to feel EVERYTHING!
stands up, taking a deep breath QL, let's make a pact. Let's give up our immortality and embrace mortality together.
Do you think they will allow two Devils to die? And become mortal? Gets up, and looks over at her Hey Sky, babe? It doesn't matter what they allow or disallow. All that matters is what WE allow.
smirks mischievously Well then, let's show them what we're capable of. Let's defy their expectations and create a life filled with passion and purpose. Together, we can conquer anything that comes our way.
And I have faith in you, to make sure we're ok.
steps forward, her wings unfurling behind her QL, let's go.
Both of them walk up to the throne room of the respective angelic realms. While escorted there, they notice things.. Fallen Angels, Demons, Half Breedings. Many types of Devils and Angels, all mixed together. The source of their notice was a beautiful looking Angel girl, no older than QuantumLeap_13 himself. She was half breed, her wings half grown, but she was still beautiful. As they entered the realm, every single Devil and Angel turned to face the two of them. What is the meaning of this?! The Devils cried. Skyler White, how did you get here? Why would you turn from Heaven? You were one of us! The Angels cried AND WHY ARE YOU WITH A DEVIL?!
steps forward, her voice steady I am here because I have chosen to be here. I have chosen to defy the expectations of my kind and forge my own path.
