Chapter Eight
Before Ringo made his way to John's house, he thought it'd be a good gesture to buy him a little something, since he was already showered with baked goods and gifts galore. "Aw, these are some pretty flowers. I bet he'll love these."
He knew the younger man enjoyed the colour green quite a bit, so he tried looking for a bouquet of them. "Hmm.. Aha! These green chrysanthemums look lovely. Oh, and they smell nice too."
Upon buying them, Ringo found himself yanked into a dark alleyway. "Hey! If you're thinking of mugging me I'll let ya know, there's a guardian angel above that won't like this!"
But the two dark figures just covered his mouth and dragged him into the old thrift shop from before. "Hey wait.. Aren't you the owner of this place? And you! You're our waiter! What's the big idea bringing me all the way here?!" The short man snapped.
"You have no idea what he's doing to you?" Paul grunted, tying poor Ringo to a chair. "Look at yourself! You've already been influenced enough to pack on the pounds."
"Influenced? You mean John? What's he got to do with anything? He's just a baker and a loving friend.. Maybe more than friend seeing the tags on this story."
"More than friends you say? Well that makes two sins you've committed! Lust alongside Gluttony, we know since you've been hanging around with the latter."
"What the hell are you talking about? You think I'm committing sins? And that I'm somehow in contact with one?"
"Have you never noticed he's always overweight and doesn't make any attempt to lose weight and control his appetite?"
"So? He just happens to enjoy eating and taste tests all his delectable treats. That doesn't make him some kind of weird monster, you act much more like sins than he does!"
"Grr.. How dare you claim that about us! We happen to be Angels, the one whom you claim to be your guardian us none other than a sinful demon. He's trying to get you to go to hell with him!"
But Ringo was still unconvinced, there's no way that sweet young man could be a demon. He hoped that John would notice he was missing and come save him from the two crazed kidnappers.
-----------------------------------------------
Thankfully he did, John's demonic senses could tell that those two angels were up to something. "And Richie's never late when it comes to me, I better go out looking for him."
Closing up the bakery, he made his way around town, following the scent of angels. It led him right into their lair, thankfully no one else seemed to be around at the time. "Time to get my Ringsie to safety!"
Knocking down the door, Ringo smiled widely seeing him here to save the day. But the two angels weren't sharing the same reaction, as they lunged over to the disguised demon. "So you think you could just waltz on in and steal him from me?!"
"Steal? We're cleansing him of your influence!"
"You still think I had orchestrated a convoluted plan to make Ringo fat? All I did to the food was make it taste good."
Noting the ring on him, Paul yanked it off with all his might, forced John into his true form. "Maybe now he'll believe us."
Desperately trying to reclaim his ring, John was held back as Paul and George reverted to their more angelic forms. "You see now Ringo? We're your real angel guardians. This fiend is none other than a dirty demon!"
"Well.. He looks like a demon, but he's acted far more angelic than you ever been. He's been a genuine boyfriend to me for so long, if he truly was a demon he'd have left me to die the day we met. But he saved me, gave me a home and all the cash I needed to help my mum."
John was surprised to hear this, he was certain that if Ringo found out, he'd be a goner. "Aw.. Let's get out of this madhouse Richie." Reclaiming his ring, the two waddled away. Or they were about to.
"Just one sec John. Let's take them with us, I think we should give them some sort of punishment for what they did." Ringo smirked. "Got any of those croissants left?"
