Freid's POV

After landing on the balcony, I quickly made my way to Giovanni's flat. When I made my way towards my bedroom, I made sure my feet were as quiet as possible, though the occasional creek of the wooden floorboards were heard now and then. I wouldn't want to wake up Giovanni and face him. We didn't really leave things on the best conditions...

I was already on the hallway when I felt some presence behind me. I looked back and held the hilt of my sword behind my back instinctively.

Nothing.

Could it be my imagination? 

I shrugged it off and continued towards my room. It must be. My hand was already on the knob when a voice startled me.

"Where were you?"

My head whipped to the direction of the voice. Giovanni was more or less glaring at me full force. What the hell did I do wrong now?!?

"Look G, about what happened back there, I'm sorry." Wait, why was I apologizing again?

"We're both in this ditch so... just.. I'm-" stop it Freid! I can't believe I'm blubbering nonsense right now.

Apologizing was not one of my greatest talents. Protecting, yes. Killing, most definitely yes. But apologizing? My mouth seems to have a mind of its own right now. All the apologies that went out of my mouth was enough to last me two lifetimes!

"Freid shut up." Giovanni mumbled quietly.

"What?"  I stated dumbly, "What do you mean shut up?"

Literally the first time I apologize and I get c*ck-blocked. Fantastic. 

Seconds pass and no one spoke so I just stood awkwardly while Giovanni just basically stayed in the darkness of the room. I could feel his eyes on me, those cold calculating eyes eyeing my every move. I couldn't help it as a shiver ran down my spine.

"Are we going to do this all day?" I finally said with irritation.

"I don't know Freid, you tell me." Giovanni stepped forward and the faintest of moonlight from the high rise window had managed to center on his face.

And frustration was all over his godly face.

"You were gone for hours after everything. After you left me to clean all those sh*t you did back in the warehouse!" I could feel his emotions coming in waves. Frustration being the strongest obviously. Anger. Fear. Desire and....

"So yeah, I think I can do this all day. Compared to what I had to go through earlier this afternoon, staring at you is just a walk in the f*cking park." He started to walk nearer to where I was standing. One meter apart and I still wasn't moving my pretty arse. Half a meter, a foot.

An inch.

Statue- the best thing to describe what I am right now. I wasn't used to this.

All this.

"Freid, look at me." I didn't even realize I was staring at his chest until he said that. I couldn't look him in the eyes, but my heart sped up, metaphorically, when his hands started to softly caress my face. He slowly tilted my chin with his other hand and made me face him when I refused to follow his earlier order.

"Giovanni I-" he suddenly embraced me, his scent automatically engulfing me. It seemed to calm my nerves and I visibly relaxed my body. The faint beating of his mortal heart pressed against my temple was like a calming beat that's pulling me gently to sleep. I could feel it wasn't long before I answer to that call.

"I forgive you Freid, so please...." he murmured in my ear. I fisted the material of his shirt in my hands. 

"So forgive me too..." he finished.

I gave a soft chuckle. "You forgive me now, but you don't know how deep of sh*t you're getting yourself into." I mumbled through his shirt. His chest rumbled with muffled laughter.

"And honestly, I don't give a flying f*ck. Freid," I faced his eyes, those smoldering hazels that seems to hold so much compassion in them. His arms fell to my mid back as I created a space between us, but he refused to let go. I could easily overpower this man and yet, why do I feel so powerless within his confinement?

"I'm basically a dead man, you know that. Frankly speaking, you're the cause of it." He gave a deep light chuckle. I basically just melted right there and then.

Stop it... I can't...

"So why the hell am I going to lie to myself and tell you that I don't feel anything, when I really do?" his voice dropped an octave on the last part and I swear my legs turned jelly. Glad I didn't have a heart right now because surely I would be having a cardiac arrest any second now.

"Because you don't. Period." I said with an air of defiance evident with each word. I wans't going to back down so easily.

Even though I wanted to so bad.

He full on laughed this time. "But that's the thing Freid, I do."
His hands were cupping my face once again, "I f*cking do, and I don't really know how to deal with any of it, again, honestly speaking..."

I would have told him how I felt, if what I was feeling was really an emotion in my unbeating heart. I would have told him that I was willing to negotiate, to break our contract, no matter how painful it is to break it for our kind. I was willing to spill my dark heart out to this man.

I was willing to back down.

But no.

Fate just had to be a big pain in the ass. I didn't even have the chance to open my mouth before an unbearable pain came crashing down on my body in full force.

Sh*t not now!

As I came down with the force of a ten wheeler truck I couldn't help but curse loudly, a deafening shriek of pain echoing within my bedroom walls.

I doubled over in pain, my breathing starting to come in pants. An invisible force felt like it was eating me from the inside out.

Giovanni was shouting something in the background but it sounded like backround noise to me. I couldn't understand any of it.

Then came the hunger I was supposed to satiate earlier. I knew I should have fed a while ago... The regret was too late, and the possibility of getting sent back to the underworld because I wasn't able to feed is really embarrassing. Considering I'm supposed to be their number one soul hunter makes it ten times worse.

Everything around me seemed to dim and all I could sense was the single life force nearest to me.

Food.

I could hear shouting from around me but all I could focus on was the mouth-watering energy in front of me, the rest was just a blur.

When was the last time I fed?

Months?

I need to feed...

Feed..

I could faintly remember a she wolf as my last meal- Then another pain stabbed me in my gut, I couldn't hold on any longer, my body wanted to feed, but somewhere deep inside me, I knew I shouldn't. So I suppressed the hunger.

Another piercing scream tore from my lungs.

Feed Freid... Feed...

No... I..

The darkness was starting to flood my vision. I was starting to welcome the feeling. The emptiness.

The peace.

Silence.

Then the bright light from earlier started to get closer. And even closer... I wanted it so bad. But it was so wrong. "No!" I tried to push the figure away, but my fleeting strength was failing me.

"Don't G..." I managed to get out through the pain "don't..."

Then came the most angelic voice ever to grace my ears. Was I always this poetic?

"Freid, it's alright," said the bright light, "You need to feed." The commanding but soft tone of the voice made it all the more hypnotic, leaving no room for argument. Slowly but surely, my body's needs had taken over. I opened my lips and started to feed. I whimpered helplessly as essences were coming in small amounts and I was scared the bright light would dim if I took more. But the more I fed, the more the bright light got surprisingly even brighter.

The hunger was still there, so I started to feed in huge gulps, the energy I absorbed started filling my body with so much energy. I moaned when I could feel it filling me like nothing before.

Then as realization hit me, I suddenly stopped.

I was suddenly aware of my surroundings and the hell I was doing. Sh*t, I really am a monster. But the only thing that can sustain a monster is... my eyes opened frantically as I struggled to sit up.

"Freid are you okay?" His concerned eyes stared into mine. I only stared blankly.

"What are you?" I subconsciously mumbled unblinking.

"I came here for my brother Freid." was all he said. "And I'm not just talking about the country."

I wanted to just damn everything and just ask him. How come I didn't even know this sh*t!?! I was following this man for months for Pete's sake! 

"And, who exactly is your brother?" I asked calmly. But deep inside, I was anything but. I was a huge bundle of nerves anticipating every word that leaves his mouth.

"I think you've heard of him... My brother Gabe, I mean." he said dismissively. Giovanni stood up, dusted his knee and ass, and started pacing casually inside my room. It was pretty weird considering I'm sitting here just watching him. I remained sitting and just followed his movements for a few seconds while he continued his pointless pacing. His shadow stalked his every move, making this scene all the more hypnotizing.

Gabe huh? Where have I heard that name before? "Gabe..." Gabe... Gabe.. Ga.. briel...

Gabriel.

"Gabriel." I whispered. His name rolling off my tongue softly almost as if I haven't spoken it in ages. "No. F*cking. Way."

Giovanni finally stopped pacing and just stared at me. His face remained blank and I feel as if he's waiting for my reaction. I guess he heard me.

"The Archangel?!" I almost shouted. "That Gabriel!?!?"

"Yes Freid," he took my hands in his and I tried so hard to calm my already erratic heart, " My brother is indeed... an archangel."

I just stared blankly at him, my eyes wanting to pop right off my sockets. "So that makes you an angel, am I right?!? Then how come I've never seen any trace of your angel descent until now? I mean, I'm supposed to sense you!"

"Well first of all, Gabriel is only my half brother. Second of all, I'm not an angel, I'm a nephilim." He mumbled casually. It seams I was the only one in panic out of the both of us.

I can't believe I almost risked losing everything for an angel descent. An actual angel descent! A freaking half blood at that!?!

Man... I must have the worst luck in the world. Of all the people, or creature, I could fall in love with, I had to with an archangel's brother. My day just keep getting better and better.

Not.

I looked him in the eye and said "Giovanni, don't take this the wrong way, or you can- whatever. But I need a shot of vodka right now. Preferably one that can knock me out cold." I sighed, turning to walk away. 

"For months" I finished.

Why do I feel as if I got in deeper sh*t than what I promised him?

"Buonasera Giovanni! La mia bella~" Frances picked the perfect moment to teleport inside my room like he owns the damn thing. I just stared at him like I would at an annoying specimen, while Giovanni glared openly at him "What did I miss?" Frances questioned casually. He was either too dense to notice the tension or he just plai ly doesn't care. Either way, I wasn't feeling the dandiest person right now.

"Francesco." one word from Giovanni's mouth and you can already tell he's not happy with the uninvited guest. Heck even I wasn't happy. "How the f*ck did you get in here!?!?"

"It's Frances," he sighed heavily as he ran a hand through his dark hair, "And la mia bella, I guess you know the angel's descent?"

"How the flying sh*t did you know? I never told you sh*t!"

Giovanni went stomping towards Frances, basically trying to wring him in the neck, and being the only one with the intellect around here, I finally stood up and push G's chest forcefully away from Frances' annoying existence. As much as Frances annoys me, Giovanni is only gonna hurt himself trying to hurt six.

"Frances and I are the same," I said as I continued to put a little more force on Giovanni's chest. For a nephilim, he's pretty darn strong.

Okay f*ck this sh*t.

I grabbed Giovanni's arms and flipped on his back, basically just making him look like a human pretzel. I then pushed a bit more force to pin the man on the carpeted floors, earning a surprised groan from Giovanni. "Frances is a teleporter as well, did you know that?" I said casually.

"Ah yes, the joys of being pinned down by number one~" Frances appeared by Giovanni's head and looked him in the eye. "I could trade with you nephilim, what do you say?" Giovanni groaned in the floors with incomprehensible words but I'm pretty sure they were all profanities. He finally stopped struggling and I took that as a surrender.

"You done with the temper tantrum Giovanni?"

His reply came in the form of a groan. I loosened my hold of him and stood up. Not long after, Giovanni rolled to his back and stared at the ceiling.

"What the f*ck Freid, you almost killed me!" He made sure to throw his hands into the air to further emphasize himself. I only stared back quietly. He stood up while I basically sat down in my bed, as Frances sat beside me dipping the matress.

"Oh no you don't. Get the hell away from her Francesco!"

"Ahaha~ you silly nephilim, I am with number one now." Frances chuckled "Together, we shall make sure that you don't go, six. Feet. Under~" Frances said mockingly.

Giovanni looked to me as if asking if what Frances was saying was true. I only shrugged and casually put my arm around Frances' shoulder.

"La mia bella, not now... We have an audience~" seconds after feeding from Giovanni, I feel as if my power is stronger. I focused all my energy around the area touching Frances and I released Govanni's pure light energy. "Inferno cazzo Freid! My insides are sh*t" seconds after the shock, Frances started writhing on the bed. I already removed my hand but he just kept cursing and rolling on the bed.

"Sh*t this is gold! Together my ass, she can barely stand you!" Giovanni spouted proudly at the writhing Frances on my bed. I casually stood up. He followed my movements as Frances' cries were still ongoing. "La mia bella make it stop. Please"

I sighed dramatically as I finally pointed my hand towards Frances' form on the bed and focused on the energy circulating around him. I pulled it towards me, and seconds after, Frances collapsed in the bed in exhaustion and basically passed out after mumbling a "Grazie la mia bella"

"You showed him!" I faced Giovanni and gave him a blank look.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Seriously Giovanni?" I grabbed Frances by the torso and carried him effortlessly towards Giovanni by the door. "Get him away from here, please"

"You're not serious are you? You already said he was a teleporter. He'll be back in no time!"

"Fine, I'll carry him to the spare room." I proceeded to push pass Giovanni's body before readjusting Frances' well built body on my arms. For an annoying creature, Frances sure was beautiful. "Besides, he won't be able to teleport for a while after that shock, I assure you"

"Wait, Freid!" Giovanni stopped me before I even pass the door, grabbing me back by my his hand on my arm, " Let me," I handed Frances' body "gently" towards Giovanni. Frances only grumbled in his unconscious state.

"I'll carry him there. Lord knows what this guy will do once he wakes up. Get your sleep, I'll handle this"

"Thanks." I said. Talk about awkward. I watched him walk away with Frances on his back, heavily draped over him. I followed him as he turned a corner not before saying a "Good Night Giovanni" He stopped in his tracks and looked at me briefly, and smiled. Then proceeded to turn the corner. I smiled involuntarily, and I touched my lips unconsciously.

"You really are in deep sh*t Freid." I mumbled to myself. I closed the door as I climbed into my bed. I fluffed up my pillow and laid down peacefully.

"You don't even need sleep so why say good night?" I said quietly to no one in particular as I stared at the ceiling. I may not need it, but maybe just this once. I pulled up the covers up to my stomach and snuggled even further to my pillows.

Just this once.

I closed my eyes and hoped. I hope for a dreamless sleep.

And for the first time ever, I got what I asked for.
