send me a ‘✉’ for five times my muse didn’t text yours, and one time they did
[ text ; home; unsent ] — would you be mad if i brought another dog home [ text ; home; unsent ] — white chocolate or dark chocolate? [ text ; home; unsent ] — i broke your heart and [ text ; home; unsent ] — i broke your heart and i’m sorry.
[ text ; home; sent ] — i broke your heart and i’m sorry. i don’t need your forgiveness. just know that you’re the only woman i’ll honestly ever love. even if your love for me fades and you leave me.
Azrael lowers his head. He had accepted the way Lucifer is a long time ago. She was too stubborn for her own good and he both admired that about her, and resented it— only because he knew how much trouble it would get everyone into.
”I know.” He shrugs as casually as he can.
”I figured out a while ago that nothing I can say will really change anyone’s mind.”
He raises his hand to bite at the skin around his thumbnail as a way to keep himself from mumbling under his breath and for it to seem more natural that he can’t quite lift his gaze from the floor.
Az adds something to make it sound a little less somber, but it may do the exact opposite of that.
He’s home alone, since Lucifer went to take care of some business and took the dragon with him. It’s probably why he fails to realize that there are footsteps upstairs, walking alone sedately like they know this place.
Which isn’t good.
He vacates the couch, snatching up his phone along the way and laughs quietly at his luck. There’s the sound of a gun cocking and, from the sound, it’s most likely a shotgun. Meant to make holes and leave a damn clear message. He doesn’t even try to whisper, just settles on a kitchen chair.
“Hey, Luci. Listen. It’s a shotgun. Probably sawed off. Y’know how hunters are. Serial shooters, or whatever. — I love you.”
It rings the first time and he gets Azrael’s voicemail, then he hangs up and takes off before the two angels realize he was there, behind the panadería and cursing his luck at it. Bounty hunters, probably.
He knows he won’t get out. They’ll string him up like Alastair does other demons, torture him until he breaks, then, probably, dump him somewhere. Probably somewhere that Lucifer frequents, since it’d be a clear message to her
[ Look at us, we caught the original. Your original. ]
“Az! Listen, when y’get this, my name’ll already be in your book. Their names are Alec and Amabel. Take care of her, alright?”
