Chapter 19: The Truth Comes Out

Once they got back to the hotel, Y/N and Angel headed to her room and when the door was shut, she freaked out.

“Holy shit! Did I just do that?! I cussed for the first time, I freed you, and I beat up the Valentino! I can’t even right now!” she shouted.

“That was your first time cussing?” Angel asked.

“Really? That’s what you got out of my freak out session?” Y/N said.

“Yeah,” he answered with a shrug.

She lightly giggled and remarked, “It must be quite a shock.”

“Yeah,” he chuckled then pointed out, “But you cussed in the song you sang the other night.”

“I don’t count that since those were in the song anyway. Besides, ‘ass’ used to describe something else,” Y/N stated.

“True,” he agreed, there was a slight pause, then he said, “But there is something I was wondering about.”

“What’s up?” Y/N asked.

“I wanted to ask you about something you said. You said, ‘You don’t have to sell your soul to feel trapped in a deal.’ What did you mean by that?” Angel wondered.

Y/N’s eyes widened before sighing and hugging herself.

“It comes with a huge secret that I’ve kept from you. And I’m afraid of what you’ll think of me if I tell you,” she answered.

He went to her, took her hands with his bottom ones and placed his top ones on her shoulders, making her look up at him.

“It can’t be any bigger than me telling you what really went down at the studio. And you just freed me from that hellhole; I couldn’t be more grateful to you,” Angel assured.

Y/N knew that Angel was being sincere. He let his walls down for her, so she figured she would do the same.

“If you promise me this stays between us for now, I’ll tell you. I’m not ready to let the others know,” Y/N requested.

“I promise,” Angel agreed.

She took a deep breath and slowly reached for her face. She took off the mask and her demon disguise went away to reveal her true form. She kept her head down the whole time before finally having the courage to look at him. He was shocked times ten, making her look away again.

“You’re…” he began.

“Yes,” she nodded.

“But how? Why?” Angel asked, slightly upset.

“Adam made me come here as a scout for possible new victims for the next extermination. I agreed to it to get my wings back since they were taken for my opinion on demons. Basically, I’m like Charlie where I think there’s a way for them to be redeemed. I never participated in the extermination because of it. I was sworn to secrecy by Adam and you’re the only one who knows. This was even what I had the nightmare about the other night. But I promise this was the only thing I kept from you. Everything we’ve done and what you’ve learned about me has been real and true,” Y/N explained then added, “And even though I think the same way as Charlie, I never thought I’d fall for a demon.”

Angel’s eyes softened at that.

“Angel, I don’t just see potential in you. I see someone amazing who I would risk my life for. I even see the qualities I mentioned at the welcome party in you. And I’ll be grateful for you looking out for me when Val tried to hurt me. But you also need to know that while you are able to take care of yourself, you also have people who will stand by you and make sure you’re safe and I’m one of them. Please know that I don’t plan to stop loving you, no matter where I am,” she finished, tears falling down her face.

She cupped her face shut and cried into her hands. This went on for a minute until she felt herself being picked up, making her look up.

“Angel?” she questioned.

She was then tossed on the bed and when she was starting to look up, Angel had her pinned to the bed.

“Angel, what are you--?” she started to say.

She was interrupted by him kissing her. She was in shock before she relaxed into it, pulling him closer. His top arms were wrapped around her torso while his bottom ones moved to her waist, letting his thumbs gently rub either side as she lightly grabbed his hair during the makeout session. They eventually parted, panting heavily.

“I was more upset about you not telling me sooner, but I understand why. I believe you when you say everything else was real and true,” Angel stated then smirked, “And you’re hot either way.”

Y/N chuckled a little while shaking her head.

“And I never thought I’d also fall for an angel from Heaven,” he said.

“Wait. Who else has?” Y/N asked.

“Vaggie’s a former angel. She was cast out for sparing a demon child during an extermination, met Charlie, and they’re together,” Angel answered.

“Whoa. That’s crazy,” she commented.

“Now can we make out more? I promise I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do,” he said.

“Yes and thank you,” Y/N smiled.

They went back to it, it getting pretty heated, but him respecting any boundary she requested.

After a while, they just cuddled, her resting her head on his fluffy chest and them twiddling with each other’s fingers when they heard something scratching at the door.

“Put the mask back on,” Angel instructed.

She obeyed and when Angel opened the door, he couldn’t see anyone. But then he heard Y/N giggle, to which he looked at her.

“What?” he wondered.

“Look down,” she instructed.

He did and he saw Fat Nuggets.

“Aww you little scamp. What are you doing here?” Angel said with a smile, picking him up and shutting the door again.

“He missed his daddy,” Y/N teased as he sat beside her.

Angel chuckled at that while she petted the pig.

“He also missed his new mommy,” he returned it, making her blush, then added, “You can trust him too, you know?”

Y/N knew what he meant as she nodded then took her mask off again. Fat Nuggets tilted his head at the change. She gently let her hand near his mouth and in response, he licked it. She sighed in relief at that.

“I was hoping the test wasn’t a fluke,” she said.

“Me too. Guess he had a feeling about you that set right with him, regardless of your appearance,” Angel guessed.

“That’s good,” Y/N responded.

They eventually laid back down and returned to what they were doing, just with Fat Nuggets in between them.

“You mind if I sing you something?” he whispered.

“Please do,” she smiled.

Angel took a deep breath then began.

[ANGEL:]
“Finally, a new side of me
Turned a new leaf underneath my tree
I now see life’s a beautiful dream
Gives me strength, gives me ease all in a year
Of disease, I have thrived
Lucky me

Push me, pull me, write my story
Give me my rhythm, my rhyme
I break my cycles, endless spirals
I just wanna trust what is mine
If the sun’s in the sky
If the day follows the night
If the clock’s still keeping the time
When you’re on my mind

The silence that we share
My heart was ill-prepared
I oversimplified when it was do or die

Kiss me, hold me, that feeling is holy
Nobody’s loved me like you
Ah, life moves too fast to get stuck in the past
But I do, I do

Think I take more than I give
Kinda shit but it’s how I live
Be stuck ‘till my conscience has outgrown me
I'm dumb enough to do the math
As life comes, life will past

So I try not to get attached
Don’t know what story I'm supposed to buy
If we see God’s face when we look in our eyes
If your life will start in the moment you die
Or if it’s all worth the tears we cry

Still live life like I'm on a mission
Every damn day is all about ambition
Scared I’ll turn out to be just a normal guy
Wonder why I'm only grateful when I'm high
You make a choice and don’t look back

What’s strong enough will stay intact
There’s more to life than what is fact
The things we love can never last
It hurts too much, that’s why I laugh
Like sand slips through an hourglass

I’ll hold onto the life I craft
So one day I can give it back”

Once he finished, he noticed Y/N hugging him in her sleep.

“Looks like I’m not going anywhere,” he chuckled, kissed her forehead, then said to them both, “Good night, Gorgeous. Good night, Fat Nuggets.”

He soon fell asleep, happy to know who she really was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N AHH! I can’t even! I love it! And sorry if you would’ve preferred an actual lemon or smut. But with the scenario of you being an angel, I didn’t want it to be raunchy like how Adam is. So, I hope you understand. Anyway, back to it.
