—RAIN—
- utterly shocked when he found you in the woods
- he felt a shift in the energy of the grounds and immediately went to investigate
rain growled to himself as he prowled around the woods, searching for the human that was breaking many rules.
though, as he got closer to whoever was radiating this energy, he realized they weren't moving, and they were calm. something that a trespasser would never be.
especially on grounds infested with ghoulish guards.
he stepped into a clearing, looking around. then he froze.
there you were, beautifully laid in the grass with your black wings outstretched behind you.
rain's breath was knocked from his chest as he stepped closer, feeling how gorgeous you were.
rain knew that angels were known for their beauty. he knew that once you saw an angel's beauty you'd never look for another. he never believed the rumors, set on the fact that one being's looks could never ruin a whole world of romantic lives.
now he knew. now he understood.
rain had to make you his before he brought you back to the church. no one else could have you.
no one.
—MOUNTAIN—
- he was coming back from an errand run for imperator when he saw you trying to fly
- he noticed your black wings and immediately knew you weren't a threat, so he offered to help.
mountain's eyes widened as he watched the figure reach about 20 feet in the air before their wing faltered and they went crashing back to the ground through the trees. he heard pained grunts and yelps. then a groan of frustration and anger.
mountain looked down at the bag in his hands, figuring imperator could wait a little longer.
mountain quickly ran through the trees, running a bit faster when he saw you on the ground, cradling one of your wings in your lap as tears ran down you face.
"are you alright?" mountain asked. you looked up, startling at the sight of mountain's horns and tail and.. height.
satan, this ghoul was tall.
"um.. i.. i don't think so.." you whispered, remembering all of the stories of angels being killed by ghouls.
but you had watched ghouls. observed them from afar. that's actually what got you kicked from heaven—you had become obsessed with the nature of satan.
"do you want help? i can take you back to my home and take you to the infirmary." mountain offered, crouching down so his height wasn't as intimidating. you stared at the ghoul in front of you, feeling an immense sense of calm from his green eyes.
then you nodded.
mountain smiled, slightly moving to his feet and holding his hand out for you. you took his clawed hand in yours, letting him haul you up.
"so, what's your name?" mountain asked, still holding your hand as he guided you to the ministry. "y/n. what's yours?" mountain smiled down at you.
"very pretty," mountain commented, making your face heat up. "technically, i'm earth, but you can call me mountain." the ghoul grinned at you. you smiled.
"thank you, mountain."
—AETHER—
- dew actually found you and brought you to the basement, begging aether for help.
- aether was cautious, remembering all the stories primo had told him and his packmates about angels.
- i got very carried away with aether's story, don't mind me.
"c'mon, you seriously don't believe those, do you?" dew hissed from the next room over. he had been arguing with the first ghoul he introduced you to, mainly just asking for help then the ghoul could ignore you.
"yes. i do. and you should to." aether hissed back. "aeth, those were stories to scare us. primo told them to us, he was just trying to have some power like he always does. plus, angels can't pull and of the shit he told us about." dew said.
you fidgeted with your newly blackened wings. you knew that the time for you to be banished was coming, but did it have to be today? the hunters moon.
it was like they were trying to get you killed by ghouls.
"please, aether. she's a newly fallen. we can help her before she goes.. y'know." dew begged. you heard a huff.
"fine. but if you get in trouble, i had noth-... i'll be there too, okay?" aether said. "thank you, aeth.. thank you."
after a few moments, dew peaked his head back into the common room where he had sat you down. you looked over, smiling softly at the fire ghoul who had saved you.
"hey, i got someone to help us." dew smiled, waving the ghoul in. aether rolled his eyes and stepped into the room, his arms still crossed as he looked down at you.
you cowered slightly from the couch you were sat on, sensing how the new ghoul didn't like you all that much.
"aether, this is y/n." dew gestured to you. "and y/n, this is aether." dew smiled, gesturing towards aether.
~
it had been about a week since dew introduced you to aether. they had both been acting like guards, keeping you locked away in one of their rooms, bringing you food for meals and walking you to the restroom whenever you had to use it.
you were sure the other ghouls noticed their change in behavior. especially aether's.
the way he would constantly glance over his shoulder at the exit to the common room—the way he'd excuse himself for a few minutes every time he hung out with the pack—the way he stole some extra food, only to bring it back down to the catacombs.
the way dew watched aether become softer with you. protective, even.
you were sat in the common room, your head on aether's shoulder as he purred softly, his head rested on yours.
you wings were wrapped around the two of you, the feathers providing warmth in contrast to the chilly basement.
then, you heard voices.
you opened your eyes, glancing up at aether only to see him entranced in the calmness of the atmosphere, his purring being a dead giveaway he wasn't on high alert at all.
you panicked, not wanting to ruin the moment for aether, but not wanting to surprise an unknown amount of ghouls with your presence.
aether hummed softly as he felt you tense, his arms wrapping around you, the quintessence ghoul pressing a quick kiss to your head before he settled again.
oh, satan, you just made this decision a whole lot harder, aether.. you thought to yourself.
then you ran out of time to think. the ghouls had entered the common room. they had seen you with aether.
luckily, you only saw two ghouls. but one of them looked mad.
"who the hell are you?! what the hell are you doing here?!" he yelled, quickly storming over to you. aether's eyes snapped open and he was up on his feet pushing the angry ghoul away as he yelled at him to calm down.
dew was quick to run into the common room, grabbing your hand and pulling you to your feet as he pushed you behind him, your wings dragging on the cool, stone floor.
"swiss! calm the fuck down! she's a fallen!" aether yelled, pushing against the ghoul as the second new ghoul came up and pulled swiss back.
swiss growled lowly as he glared at you, his golden eyes glowing with rage.
you trembled slightly. your view on ghouls had changed dramatically in your time spent with aether and dew, but now you knew that no matter how much you trusted them, it would always scare you to meet a new ghoul.
dew's tail brushed your leg, sending a shiver up your spine as you watched aether pin swiss to the wall, the quintessence ghoul growling at swiss to calm down and listen.
the second new ghoul walked over to you and dew, the fire ghoul reaching out and taking the new ghoul's hand, pulling him closer.
"rain this is y/n, y/n this is rain. cool? cool. rain, take y/n to aether's room. make sure nobody sees her." dew instructed, grabbing your hand and putting it in rain's before he rushed over to aether and swiss.
rain smiled at you softly, walking with you down the hall you had practically memorized.
a few minutes after rain placed you in aether's room and you sat on the quintessence ghoul's bed, the door slammed open again, aether rushing in and closing the door behind himself.
"satanas, y/n, are you okay?" aether asked, cupping your face as his purple eyes darted around your facial features. you smiled softly and nodded.
"rain is nice." you commented.
aether laughed breathlessly, kissing your forehead before hugging you tightly.
—SWISS—
- now i know with aether's bit you're expecting me to be all 'oh swiss hates fallen angels' but no, he was just caught of guard then
- swiss is actually very fond of fallen angels, he finds them interesting.
- imagine his joy when he finds one all for himself
swiss grumbled to himself as he walked to the most abandoned parts of the ministry, looking for something that nihil needed.
swiss honestly didn't even know what he was looking for, but he knew he could just ask aether through a mental message when he got to where he needed to be.
a small hummed rumbled in the multi-ghouls throat as he stepped lightly, searching for something to keep himself focused.
though, swiss didn't expect to feel the energy of another being. something not human.
swiss immediately perked up, quickly losing the motive of getting something for nihil and moving to find whoever he sensed.
swiss turned down multiple hallways, following the scent of something that smelled changed.. jaded. he liked it, though. it was rapting.
then, he saw you.
you were carefully stepping down the stone walls, your footsteps silent as your wings dragged on the ground behind you.
swiss' eyes widened as he realized what you were. a fallen angel. your blackened wings rustling as you heard swiss' shocked gasp.
you turned around, making eye contact with the golden glow of the multi-ghoul's eyes.
your breath hitched, your wings extending to their full wingspan. if swiss had to guess, he'd say about 15 feet.
the multi-ghoul stepped back slightly, amazement rushing his system as your wings flapped, sending a gust of wind to send the ghoul back.
swiss exclaimed in shock, stumbling backwards as you folded your wings, turning around and running off.
"w-wait!" swiss yelled, running after you.
you continued forward, your wings weighing you down. you whimpered slightly, extending your wings and quickly taking off.
you controlled your turned well, though ghouls proved to be fast as swiss chased after you.
you looked behind you, tucking your chin to your chest to see where he was. though, swiss skidding to a stop as his eyes widened caught you off guard.
"hey! watch out!" swiss yelled. you looked back up, yelping as your wing crashed into a divider in an archway. you wrapped your now good wing around your body, favoring your injured wing as you crashed to the ground.
swiss was quick to run over to you, your pained whimpers making his heart tug as he gently pulled your good wing away from your body.
"hey- are you okay?" swiss asked. i looked up at him, his golden eyes shining light onto your face. you kept quiet, the fear clear in your eyes. "can you let me help you?" swiss asked. you hesitated before nodding. swiss smiled, kissing your forehead as he helped you up.
slightly shocked by the bold move, you stumbled as you stood, your injured wing not helping your balance.
swiss caught you as you fell, his arm wrapped around your waist.
"i'm swiss. what's your name, pretty girl?" swiss asked, looking down at you. you felt your face heat up as you glanced at swiss. "y/n.." you mumbled. swiss grinned.
"suits you perfectly."
—DEW—
- probably the most aggressive one if he's caught off guard.
- luckily, he was not when he met you.
all day, dew could sense that something was off. he had a pit in his stomach and he was on high alert. waiting.. waiting.
and then it struck.
literally.
dew was outside in the gardens, taking a walk to try and calm himself down when you came crashing down about 50 feet away from him at the tree line of the forest.
dew quickly rushed over, thinking you were an air ghoul that was learning to control their abilities, but you blackened wings quickly proved otherwise.
you looked up as you heard footsteps, you teary eyes making contact with dew's wide ones.
you gasped in relief as you removed your wing from around you body, showing a slash in your clothes right under your ribs, blood seeping through the white cloth.
"help me.. please." you cried. dew rushed over, quickly pushing aside all his.. lavacious thoughts that brewed from your heavenly looks.
"what the hell happened?" dew asked, quickly applying pressure to your side. "i.. you're a ghoul?" you countered as dew helped you up. the fire ghoul nodded. "i was cast out of heaven for encouraging a slightly sinful life.. i tried to run but they grazed me with an arrow. i don't know where i am or how far i got.." you breathed heavily, the loss of blood removing your consciousness.
dew held you up as you stumbled closer to the ministry, the gardens being empty due to the dinner inside.
"we'll help you. don't worry." dew whispered.
~
you whimpered in pain as dew held your hand, the stitching that the matron was doing being more painful than you expected.
"shh, it's okay, angel." dew whispered softly, his warm hand making sparks of heat run up your veins, providing some comfort.
"what is your name, dear?" the matron asked as she placed a patch over your side.
"y/n.." you breathed. she nodded, smiling softly at you and dew before turning on her heel and walking off to her office.
"my name is dewdrop. most people call me dew." the fire ghoul shrugged as you looked over at him.
"thank you." you whispered, staring into his red eyes. dew smiled, bringing your knuckles up to his lips and kissing them softly.
"always, angel."
