“Aaay, there’s our favorite ninja turtle!” A blond guy with many piercings threw his arms open in an energetic greeting.
“A… turtle? That’s a ninja?” I had to ask.
“Don’t mind him,” Raphael sighed, but let the man greet him with a manly hug. “They got it into their heads that, just because I share a name with a cartoon character, they can equivocate me to this teenage mutant ninja turtle.”
“Teenage mutant ninja turtle… that’s quite a mouthful. I need to check that other Raphael out.”
“You have never seen TMNT?” a tiny girl gasped, and I suddenly found myself between her and her much more serious female friend, watching the best moments from the cartoon on a phone.
I was worried about impressing Raphael’s friends, but before I even knew what happened, I was sucked into their orbit. And I wasn’t the only one; Beelzebub was deep in a conversation about tattoos with the blond guy who, as it turned out, had a few tats of his own hidden under the clothes.
“I think introductions are in order…” Raphael said, the corner of his lips twitching up into a smile.
Right! I didn’t know anyone’s names and hadn’t introduced myself. How rude of me!
Taking the matters in his hand, Raphael did a round of introductions.
“This is Szymon, Kasia, and Marzena. Guys, this is Tirael, my boyfriend… and Beelzebub, Tirael’s boyfriend.”
“Nice to meet you all,” I said quickly, seeing how Beelzebub gritted his teeth.
He was not pleased with this introduction.
“Beelzebub, huh?” Kasia asked. “Did your parents name you after a demon, or is that a nickname?”
“That’s for me to know and for you to never find out,” Beelzebub flashed his sharp teeth, but this was his playful smile.
“Either way, sick, dude,” Szymon nodded approvingly.
It was an interesting perspective, seeing how not only Raphael but Beelzebub as well interacted with people who didn’t know their rank and power. For those three humans, the Archangel and Archdemon were just dudes, normal people who drank shitty beer, and gorged themselves on pizza while we debated the merits of different anthropomorphic characters as ninjas.
The evening left me refreshed, loose in a way I rarely experienced among other angels. Raphael and Beelzebub had a good time as well, but there was a dark cloud hovering over us.
The lightning strike of Beelzebub’s fury patiently waited until we bid farewell to Raphael’s three friends and teleported to the demon’s penthouse for a revelry of a different kind.
This time Raphael was the one to end up pressed to the wall, getting furiously kissed by Beelzebub.
“Tirael’s boyfriend, huh?” the demon sneered. “You seem to not understand your place, angel.”
Raphael looked dazed at the kiss, but his brows furrowed with confused anger.
“Wasn’t the whole idea for us to publicly claim Tirael? And now you are having a conniption because I called him my boyfriend?”
Both me and Beelzebub looked at the Archangel with various degrees of disbelief.
“He’s hopeless. There’s no use talking. We need to show him,” Beelzebub said.
Agreeing, I took Raphael’s lips in a kiss. He wanted to say something but, under the onslaught of our combined kisses, it was easy to convince Raphael to have sex first and ask questions later. In no time we were all naked and Raphael was pressing into my freshly stretched hole.
That’s when Beelzebub decided to pounce.
From my position on my back, I had a prime spot to watch the intense expression on the demon’s face as he pressed his naked body against Raphael’s back, trapping him between us.
“For a year now, we have worked closely together to achieve our goal and then shared in the spoils of our victory,” Beelzebub said to Raphael. “I saw how your eyelashes flutter when you came, the way your body is languid in the aftermath, the way you turn your face to the sun to soak up the warmth like a spoiled cat. And in return, I let you see the sides of me no one else was privileged to glimpse. But maybe I hadn’t shown you enough because it seems you don’t comprehend the scale of my hunger, my possessiveness. Tirael is my boyfriend… but you are MINE as well.”
The body over mine jerked as Beelzebub sank his teeth into Raphael’s shoulder.
“Ah! Fuck! What? Beelzebub…. Are you saying…”
