Ok, here we go. Me and Beelzebub are making a speech today, we've had 5 meetings, and are expected to have come to some sort of conclusion. We want more meetings, or to be able to somehow see each other more, but we only started planning what we're going to say in the last half of the last meeting.

When we talk, we are to stand next to each other which wouldn't have been a good idea if we weren't secretly together. A lot of Heaven and Hell are going to be there, so we are meeting on Earth in a conference room. (We couldn't exactly have that many demons in Heaven or vice versa now could we?)

Beelzebub and I get to meet up a little before the speech, so I have just teleported myself to Earth. Beelzebub arrives - alone - so we kiss quickly and deeply, before we both produce a few pieces of paper with what we will say written on. We skim through them quickly, and I am so worried about what the rest of Heaven and Hell will think. Should we be doing this? This probably isn't safe territory but we have nothing else to do.

2pm, the clock flicks over to the agreed time and we take our positions just in time for about 50 of Heavens most important angels, including Michael and Uriel who give me a suspicious look about what the speech will include. The clock ticks louder than I ever thought a clock could tick as we wait in silence for Hell, who are always late anyway. Tick, tock, tick, tock. The slow seconds echo throughout the room eerily.

2:17pm and about 50 demons spark into existence. 17 minutes late, could've been worse.

"Ok," I start, masking my anxiety with false confidence, "thank you for arriving... at all." I finish wondering how words can be so tricky.

"Yeah." Beelzebub adds, glaring at the population of the room. I didn't realise Crowley and Aziraphale would be invited, but there they were sitting at the back. The room was very solidly divided into two halves, with a row of chairs dividing them, and Crowley was the only demon sitting in the row so that he could be next to Aziraphale.

"So," I say, realising how long it had been since either of us spoke "to start, we were given a series of 5 meetings to discuss the situation and what is to come next, after the failed armageddon. The war between Heaven and Hell was delayed, and we thought-"

"Why doezzz the war have to be between Hell and Heaven?" Beelzebub interrupted, I rolled my eyes pretending to be annoyed but it was sweet how they finished my sentence. It was the point of this anyway, and we both felt strongly about not having the war. We didn't want war, we wanted to team up so maybe we could be accepted together. Beelzebub did a bad job of hiding what we wanted though.

I started to have second thoughts about what we had prepared as every set of eyes was glaring at us. They were right; we were being outrageous here. Then I noticed that Aziraphale and Crowley were smiling slightly, not 100% judging us. Well, I thought, that's better than no one agreeing with us.

"Yes. We were playing around with the idea that perhaps the Great Plan meant for us to fight against Earth. That is the reason a lot of demons fell, of course, because of the hatred for Earth, but we were wondering-"

"If Hell and Heaven join forcezz it could be a bigger war!" Beelzebub shouted out of the blue buzzing out of nervousness and probably excitement, and all of the demons (excluding Crowley) suddenly cheered uncontrollably. Which earned me even more suspicious looks from Michael and Uriel. I sighed, again, pretending to be annoyed, but if this was earning us support (even if it was from the demons) it was fine by me. I glanced at Beelzebub to see them grinning uncontrollably at the sight of the demons being so excited.

Once the cheering had died down and it was possible to speak and be heard again, I carried on talking. Beelzebub was doing a good job of 'hating' me and being rude.

"We were wondering if that could be put aside for now and forgive each other and work together." Everyone was looking expectantly at us. I glanced over to Beelzebub for support and they were obviously nervous, not that anyone but me could tell. So I continued. "The point of us joining forces would be to take over Earth, but you may be wondering why. We ourselves are unsure, but it could offer advantages such as having Earth, and being perhaps able to go back to the peace we experienced when and before creating Eden." They still look unimpressed, I clear my throat, hating the silence. "To back up my point, it is written that the Earth shall die in fire and flames, and maybe we misinterpreted." I say, and the glares from my side are a little more convinced which is relieving.

"Any quezztionzzz?" Beelzebub asks wanting to get this over with, not that I blame them. I like how they buzz, it is... I don't know why I like it but I do.

Michael raises her hand, and I nod, gesturing for her to talk. "How do you purpose we start the process of uniting together on the chance that both Heaven and Hell agree?" Well, at least I was being taken seriously, but this was the awkward part. Me and Beelzebub had decided that if Heaven and Hell did agree to our idea that it would mean we didn't have to hide our relationship anymore, but we weren't sure how to ease the oppositions into being together.

"Well, Beelzebub and I would meet more regularly, and come up with ideas to make the change gradual. The process would have to be... discovered as we go along, but we do have something planned which will only be revealed if the situation would happen." I tried to say it formally without faltering or momentarily dropping my calmness but I felt myself blush a little as I said it, and Beelzebub smirked in a smug way of 'I know something you don't' to the crowd. Michael just raised her eyebrow.

"Right, so, I know this first part of the meeting was short, but I hope it was valuable, now there shall be a small break for both sides to make your decisions. If you have any other questions though please ask me now so I can answer for everyone to hear." I said, trying to sum it up. There were two parts to this meeting; first presentation which we had just done, then a half hour break for Heaven and Hell to decide what they wanted to do, and then the second presentation where it is revealed what decisions were made and we have to give another small presentation on what will happen next depending on the decision.

No one said anything. No questions, which was surprising and a bit worrying in all honesty. I nodded at Beelzebub,

"You are dizmizzed." They said, and everyone got up causing some much needed noise. Once most of the angels and demons had left, I walked the meter that had been separating me and the Lord of Flies, and we started discussing how it had gone. The room next door was filled with a few drinks and stuff that you might get in an interval room which meant Beelzebub would definitely want to take a look at some snacks we had arranged for there to be. Once we were completely alone we exchanged a small kiss in celebration that this would be over soon, and the worst part already was over.

We both walked to the interval room and saw some of the other Archangels and important demons discussing things in little groups whereas everyone else were just enjoying a bit of time off normal work. Beelzebub grinned at the success. We walked over to the tables on the edge of the room and Beelzebub got a small sandwich, but not as much as I would've expected. Maybe they were still nervous.

I saw Uriel looking at me, wondering why I was optionally talking to Beelzebub, but I shrugged it off.

I wondered what they were deciding. I hoped they didn't agree because if they did we would have to reveal what our 'plan' was, which could very easily go wrong. Then again, if they agreed, it could go right, and I'd get more meetings with Beelzebub. I was standing in a comfortable silence with them at the moment, gazing around at everyone talking, wondering what they were talking about.

I decided that now would be a good time to go back to the main conference room, since there was only 5 minutes left until the second part. In just the next half hour, everything could go terribly wrong. I told myself to enjoy these last few moments of sanity in case it did go wrong. Beelzebub followed me. In the room, we exchanged another kiss, this time it was deeper so we could both try and block out the anxiety that had hit us so hard. It was a dangerously long kiss, but that made it better.

We separated just in time as everyone started flooding back in. We stood in our places, this time with Michael and Dagon standing to the side of us waiting to reveal the decision made. This. Was. Terrifying

"Um, now, the time has come for Michael and Dagon to expose whether or not they think Heaven and Hell should join forces." I announce, nervously, realising I have done a lot of the talking, which is fine because Beelzebub looks too nervous to muster anything out of their mouth. I glance at them reassuringly before we swap places with Dagon and Michael letting them announce the decision. This is it.

"The decision we have come to together, having asked many peoples' opinion, is..." Dagon started, I'm sure they didn't actually hesitate but this was so tense. Beelzebub's fear seemed to radiate off them (to me anyway, no one else noticed) and mine probably did too. "...that we have agreed for Heaven and Hell to join forces and unite against Earth." They agreed. I looked at Michael and I must have looked surprised because she nodded. Me and Beelzebub took our original places and I cleared my throat. Crowley and Aziraphale, why couldn't I stop looking at them? They were sitting there expressionless, holding hands subtly. I wondered whether I should do that with Beelzebub to make our 'plan' known. I glanced at them. They looked back at me biting their lip.

"If that is the decision you have come to, then we thank you for agreeing with our thoughts." I say, forgetting any other words I ever learned. I gaze down at the paper which should have what I planned out to say in this situation but all the words are a blur. Thankfully, Beelzebub speaks next, giving me a chance to regain myself.

"It may take a few decades to fully trust each other, although demons shouldn't trust, but it will take time is the point, and even more to devise a proper plan..." they trailed off, unsure how to continue, although they had been sounding unplanned the whole way through. I decided to carry on for them.

"Are there any questions to be asked?" I said, hoping for the best. At least 40 hands went up. Great. "Er, yes. We'll start with you." I point to Aziraphale, knowing what his question will be, and knowing it might help mine and Beelzebub's personal situation.

"If, Heaven and Hell join together as you say, then, me and Crowley," he says, stuttering nervously like he is waiting to be mocked, either by me or Crowley, "um,"

"If we truly join together then I don't see why you should be told no." I say, and see his relieved smile; They could be allowed to be together. "Yes," I say pointing vaguely in Uriel's direction, again, knowing what the question was going to be.

"Earlier, you mentioned having a plan, that you said you would only expose if this situation were to arise. We are now in this situation and I'm sure I speak for many people here when I ask what that plan is" he asked, in a rather complicated way. I don't answer immediately.

I look at Beelzebub for support, and to see whether they think we should say here and now or leave it for a while. They look at me unsurely. I wonder where God is at this moment in time - probably watching and laughing uncontrollably.

"I think... if we say now it might not go down well as it is such a big thing." I got more suspicious looks, but I was firm. It was probably the first thing I was firm about for the entire meeting. Beelzebub nodded at a demon for a question,

"Why will you not tell us?" A few other demons nodded in support of this question.

"Er, like he said. It won't go down well." They explained vaguely.

"Yeah but if we can't know what is the use of it?" They asked again.

Beelzebub just stays silent for a few unbearable seconds before another demon calls out something else,

"What's so bad we can't know?!" and before I know it almost all of the demons are screaming things. I feel so sorry for Beelzebub having to deal with them all the time. Michael comes up behind me,

"I think you should just say." They mutter in my ear, before they give me a knowing look. She's right. I look at Beelzebub who by now is shouting back at them, with their flies going crazy and buzzing under their voice angrily. I touch their arm, getting them to calm down.

The demons quieten down to for a moment, so I take this as my queue to talk while I can. "What Beelzebub and I have decided on is an announcement more than a plan that will hopefully show everybody that times are changing but it will only be most effective once everyone starts to become more casual with what was once your opposition." I say, and when I said most effective I actually meant most accepted. But no one needs to know that. I feel the tension in the room is still solid. "You need to become more comfortable around each other, because right now you are split equally and exactly into two sections; demons and angels. You may still keep your identities as demons and angels, and there will still be Heaven and Hell with the same leaders, but we will work together. However, we cannot work together if you don't trust us." I say, hoping it will make a bit of peace.

Unfortunately an angel raised there hand and said "we can't trust you if you don't tell us anything." Fuck, I think. There and then I decide I hate that angel, because now we really have to tell the truth to avoid more chaos.

"Ok, point taken." I say quickly before more trouble breaks out again. Then I look at Beelzebub, and they nod. "We hadn't planned on saying this yet though," I warn them, wondering where to start. Then I think; May 1914. (A/N this only makes sense if you read my oneshot on May 1914.) That might take too long to explain. Beelzebub speaks.

"Um, it's a very long story which we would've planned how to explain, but..." they trail off. Maybe words aren't the best way to do this. I take their hand in mine. They squeeze mine gently enough no one notices but in a way that says 'good idea on how to start, but now what?'

Silence fills the room, too much silence, I see looks of judgement but can't tell what looks Aziraphale and Crowley are wearing. Ok, at least there is no fighting so far. What do we say now though? I clear my throat. "Long story, but, as I said to Crowley and Aziraphale, it will be allowed now and there is no judgement." What else could I say?! Everyone stays silent. This was not a good idea. I miracle me and Beelzebub to my office in Heaven. We let go of each other and I rub my face with my hands processing what just happened.

Beelzebub looks nervous, so I stroke their head using my hight to my advantage. They stay still, and lean into me a bit. "That was my fault." I say,

"Not really, zzzorry the demonz get zo worked up about thingz." They say. We both feel guilty.

"Don't say sorry." I say.

"Well in that cazze you shouldn't either." They say.

"At least it's out there now, it's not a secret." I say, trying to focus on the positive. They nod, and look at me, with a hint of a smile on their face. We kiss again. Even deeper this time, we are both terrified, and we might not get to do this again if Heaven and Hell change their minds and discorporate us instead.

Michael and Uriel walk in having left the meeting too, which I assume means everyone else did too. Beelzebub pulls away reluctantly, glaring at the other Archangels and doing a flies' version of a hiss which is hard to imagine but just as disturbing as a snakes' hiss. I look at them, preparing myself for the worst. They are going to be so angry at me.

"You'll be surprised but after you left it went surprisingly well." Uriel said. I nodded, surprised. Did it really? Or did I mishear that? Beelzebub looks at me grinning. We are definitely both relieved. They kiss me again and I don't refuse. Michael and Uriel both pull a face of disgust before leaving.

A/N
I'm not sure what this is, but thx for reading and sorry if I mixed up past and present tense a bit (writing in present test feels a bit unnatural but I did it anyway for some reason and might've reverted back to past a few times without realising). Anyway that was a really long one so thank you for reading it all the way through. Just saying this is still a oneshot so none of this will be included in future oneshots because it's funner to write about them in secret (Word count: 3112)
