There was only one rule the Guardian Angels could only follow.

'Do not make a deal with Death.'

Ah, it was so simple, all they had to do was avoid Death and let him do his job: To take the souls of the humans they watch over when the time comes. But, one particular Guardian Angel did the polar opposite.

This story had become a popular fairy tale in my time, that particular angel had given up her life just so the person she loved can remain living.

Eh? You want me to tell you the story? I don't see why not...

You did a few wing excercises as you got ready for your journey to Earth. It was a beautiful day, another day to watch over your person,

Jean Kristein, age 15, diagnosed with cancer.

You felt sorry for the teen ever since you heard about him. Poor boy, nobody deserved to suffer. And his life was probably timed by now.

"How sad, to be diagnosed of a deadly illness at a fresh age." Armin said, you nodded.

"And that's why, he deserves to live his remaining life to the fullest! I want him to be smiling!" You said energetically.

"And how in heavens will you do that?" Connie asked.

You smiled, "humans, who's life spans are about to end, can see both Death and their Guardian Angels. Connie, have you been reading?" You giggled.

"N-nevermind that...! You better hurry up or the Door's gonna close on you!" Connie replied, you gasped and waved goodbye before flying light-speed towards the gates. Soon, you reached Earth in a country called Japan.

You immediately rushed over to the hospital where Jean was checked in. His room was at the forth floor, where a tree branch was in front of his room's window. You sat on that branch and peered in the window.

Jean was sitting on his bed, reading a book. He seemed pissed off and he kept biting his lip.

You sat there, captivated by the teen. Then, you suddenly started daydreaming.

"Oi."

You snapped out of your daydreaming to come face to face with the boy you've been watching over for 15 years. You yelped and fell back, Jean had gasped when you suddenly floated.

"Y-you're...?!" Jean stuttered.

"Y-you can see me?!" You cried, Jean immediately pulled you in his room.

"Of course I am! I'm talking to you, aren't I? Get in here or else other people might see you!" Jean spat.

You giggled and patted his hand that was on your arm, "it's okay, you're the only one who can see me."

"A...are you my Guardian Angel...?" Jean asked as he released his grip on your hand. He sounded scared and a bit angry.

"If... If I told you 'yes', what will you do?" You asked as you watched Jean walk back to his bed.

"There's this superstition that when you see your Guardian Angel, you're about to die..." Jean murmured, you hung your head in shame.

"I-I'm sorry..." You apologized, Jean sighed as he shook his head.

"No, no. Don't be, it's not your fault I'm a sickly guy, you know? Anyways, I'm Jean." Jean said, sticking his hand out, you smiled and grasped it.
