APH Demon's Love Song -5-

Being in a committed relationship was something new to the demon Ludwig. He was accustomed to one night stands; all lust and no love. When he was with Feliciano, his feelings were odd, but not unwelcome. The little angel made the demon… happy. It was too simple but Ludwig's heart was left so speechless he had to settle for the simplest of words.

"Ve~Ludwig!" Feliciano ran up to him, his stray curl bobbing up and down. "Let's go somewhere."

"Erm- Okay." Still unsure of how to act around his lover, Ludwig found himself agreeing with anything the angel said. Or maybe it was just because he liked to see Feliciano smile. "Where should we go?"

Their hands linked so Feliciano could properly drag him down the street. "Nowhere in particular. "Just walking with no place in mind."

To not have a plan ready to be perfectly executed was foreign to Ludwig, but in the three months they had been dating, he was slowly becoming accustomed to leaving things to chance.

They found themselves in a picturesque park, where the birds chirped amongst lifeless gray trees. Shoes and dead grass were separated by a soft blanket of snow. "Ludwig, what's your favorite season?"

What kind of question is that? He turned his attention away from a mockingbird to see if Feliciano was being serious. From the curious gleam in his amber eyes, Ludwig assumed he meant it. "Well, um, I'm not sure. I've never really paid attention to the seasons." At the crestfallen look on Feliciano's face, Ludwig elaborated. "I guess winter."

"Why? Everything is dead."

"Yes." Ludwig turned his attention back to the mockingbird. "But it's like they get a new start at life. You can't have spring without winter, because for something to be reborn, it has to die first."

"Ve~" Feliciano nodded in understanding.

"What's your favorite season?"

Without hesitation, Feliciano answered, "Spring. I like the fields full of flowers." After a moment, he added. "I like making crowns from the flowers. Have you ever made one, Ludwig?"

"I'm afraid I have not."

"Well, when spring comes, we can make crowns from the flowers."

"In a field that isn't covered in snow," Ludwig added.

Feliciano giggled in agreement.

Antonio frantically followed Lovino. "Please don't do this, Lovi~! Your brother is happy!"

"Feliciano is not happy with a demon." Each of the temperamental angel's syllables were clipped and laced with acid.

"You never told about Arthur and Alfred!"

"That's different," Lovino snapped, continuing his trek to the throne room after having paused to bite at his companion. "Arthur's a half angel, and Alfred's human. Plus, God already knows about them. Feli is spending time with a demon, dammit. And he's the chief angel. There's quite a difference between his situation and Arthur's."

Throwing the doors open, Lovino stormed up to God with Antonio close behind him.

"Lovi~ Toni~ How are you doing?" The handsome deity flashed the angels a charming smile.

"Fucking wonderful."

"Language, Lovi~."

"English," he retorted with a scowl. "Feliciano has been spending a LOT of time with the demon of Wrath, Ludwig. And trust me when I say they have been doing a lot more than just spending time together."

The man was dense, and he didn't mind the angels and demons spending time together, but he refused to let the angels spend that kind of time with the demons.

"Antonio, did you know about this?"

As was appropriate, Antonio was scared when God used his full name. It meant deep shit. He nodded meekly.

God's eyes flashed in pure anger. "How many knew about this?"

"All of us," Antonio whispered. "But I don't know if the Devil knew."

Sitting back, God closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Still staring at the back of his eyelids, he grumbled. "Antonio, find Marques, and bring Feliciano to me. Lovino, find Arthur and get him to bring my brother and Ludwig to Limbo. I will be sure Isa knows of our coming."
