Falling from Heaven {SinfulSkills ~ unfallenangel}

When she began to stumble over her words and squeak his head jerked back in surprise. His eyebrow rose in confusion as he looked down at her and he rejected him. “Uh, I didn’t realize cat were so dependent you had to be with it each night. Nor did I know you paid rent on a night to night basis but then again the human world is weird.” That being said he shrugged his large shoulders. He had only meant a night or two continuously but apparently her human life required more than he was expecting; his face dropped to a frown of dislike for a moment before returning to his natural cool demeanor.

Of course Isabelle was the first inside the room and the first to react. “Aaaahhhh!” she squealed, her little hands shaking left and right in excitement. “Lord Leon has finally chosen a mate!” Dashing to him, she wrapped her little arms around his thighs and gave him a hug squeeze. “Yay! I’m so happy!!” The blonde instantly let go of Leon and jumped to Jo, wrapping her arms around her waist and pressing her head against her stomach, grinning from ear to ear. “And it’s Lady Jo of all people! Hurrah!” Her giggly giddy excitement certainly didn’t match those of the other members of the Department of Wishes, in fact even Curt looked uncomfortable as he rubbed his hand against the back of his neck.

The joyful silence didn’t last very long before the Department of Punishments gods arrived, Axel looked confused, Scorpio looked annoyed and Alexander looked mad. “Leon, you know what you’re doing is against heavenly law.” He barked causing little Isabelle to cling to Jo, not for joy but for fright.

Pulling Jo by the hand, he guided her behind in a protective manner and to Alexander he scuffed with a chuckle. “Director Stick-In-The-Mud doesn’t understand anything. Do you know what my sin is?” Watching Alexander’s face curl into rage he continued to speak. “My sin is not being able to love. I didn’t love humans, I didn’t love my job and I didn’t have someone to love. Now I love it all but, I love this human the most.”

“You cannot love one human more than the other.”

“They say the same for Gods.” Leon snapped. “How many times have I pulled you out of the gutter despite our disagreements and our positions?” Alexander shut up before he continued, his gaze turning to the floor. It wasn’t long before he drilled into each one of them, the room filling with intensity as he reminded each of them what he had personally done for them and what that would have broken in the heavenly law. Each one of them, even Scorpio, found themselves staring at the floor. “Now I break heavenly law for myself. For my happiness and to show the woman I love how much she means to me. She even knows the sound of my heartbeat!” Realizing he said that a little too loudly and he had been rather cold to the other gods, he gave her hand a small squeeze as an apology.

“You know the sound of his heartbeat?!” Isabelle asked excitedly through the silence. “What does it s…” Her words were cut off as he shot the little girl a cold glare causing her to eep and bury her face back into Jo’s stomach. It was obvious that the sound of his heartbeat was important enough to him that he didn’t even share it with his god-daughter.

His gaze darted back towards the other gods. “Whatever the consequences for breaking this law lays I will take upon myself. I don’t expect your support nor do I require it, the goldfish will still do her job to help the rest of you but as you all know, Jo is mine.” With that he rose his fingers into the air, “Now if you don’t mind, I need to be alone with my goldfish for a while.” At that and using her power because he was holding his hand, he snapped his fingers.

Everyone, including Isabelle vanished. A small voice could be heard echoing with joy outside. Something about all of them being outside and they should play. He had transported everyone outside and left them to entertain Isabelle. Slowly turning, he faced Jo with a smirk on her face. “Tell me goldfish…” He said softly as he began to walk towards her, forcing her to walk back. “Are you ready to love a god? Unconditionally… until… I… am… content.” When he said the word content, they were at the bed and he gave her a push backwards. “You said ‘How hard could it be to love a god?’ Some times can be harder than others… and this, this is an easy time.” With that he climbed onto the bed and placed his head in her lap. Taking up one of her hands he wrapped his fingers in hers and let out a content sigh. “Those loudmouths…” He muttered as a small smile moved across his face and he closed his eyes.

“Of course you caught the best of them all; it’s someone I approve of!” Gray said with a chuckle as he finished up his plate. It came as no surprise that Monica would take his plate from him without his help. He watched her as she walked away. God what was with his mind! He was tilting his head and watching her walk away like a perverted man on the streets. Shaking his head viscously he turned his attention to the table.

Gray, stop it… stop it… it’s Monica. Mon-i-ca! You shouldn’t be staring at her like that. He could slap himself for thinking in the manner that he was and yet… he couldn’t help it. He was pulled his gaze away from her as she turned back to come back to him. Her hand danced along his back and he could have sworn he let out a little squeak. This is crazy, just crazy!

Gray ate rather slowly as if trying to calm himself down. This was nut, insane even. His hand not holding his fork was gripping his pant leg so bad his knuckles were turning white. When she finally spoke his head jerked up, as if being pulled out a fantasy running through his head. “Oh yeah, I didn’t expect any of this for free.” He said with a chuckle as he finished up his cake and took a drink of the wine.

Letting out a small sigh he leaned back, pulling his hand from his knee he draped his arm across the back of the chair and raised her glass to her. “To a lovely meal, a lovely apartment and a lovely woman. Thanks for dinner.” With that he clanked his glass against hers and took a drink. “So what now?

“Traditionally we don’t need food to survive, in the heavens we just eat for entertainment. But how does that earth saying go… ‘When in Rome’? Yeah that sounds right. Besides, our energy depletes a lot faster here on earth so we must eat and sleep to regain our strength.” He gave a shrug to his broad shoulders as he threw the ball up and down into the air. Her accent made him grin, a playful grin that said he liked the way it sounded before he held the door open for her and they entered the house.

In the sitting room sat the gods, two were in the white suite with gold arm bands matching what Curt had worn when they first met and the other three were in black suites with silver arm bands.

The first one to her was Axel, as the only one standing he seemed to approach her in a timid fashion; almost shy and reserved but he still spoke up first. “So you’ve agreed to help us?” He asked in a shy manner, almost a whisper, his green gaze moved over her shoulder to Curt who nodded, his eyes rejoiced and his body relaxed as he extended his hand to her. “I am Axel, God of Gemini. And I work for the Department of Punishments.” After shaking her hand, he pointed towards the woman who was leaning against the wall. Her piercing blue eyes staring daggers at Alyssa of automatic dislike, “That’s Scorpio, she is the god of the Scorpio constellation. Don’t worry; she takes a while to warm up to people. She’s also the vice director of the Department of Punishments.”

Alexander was the next to speak up; he rose from his chair and gave her a polite nod. “I am Alexander, God of Libra and I am the Director of the Department of Punishments.”

Hue turned his deep gaze from his book up to Alyssa and gave her a small wave. “I’m Hue, God of Aquarius. I am a member of the Department of Wishes and that’s Leon, God of Leo who is our department head.”

Leon had been lounging in a large chair watching the human as soon as she walked in. His amber-golden gaze staring her down with intensity; rising to his feet he walked to her. Looking her in the eye leaving barely any gap between them he stared her down. “Goldfish, you will do as we say without complaint.” His tone was an ‘matter of fact’ tone as if there was no room for debate.

That’s why Curt slid in between them, one of the few people who could not only keep Leon under control but reason with him as well. “She has offered her services in more ways than we can imagine. She’s volunteered to live here with us…” The room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop but Curt continued to speak, ignoring the silence or the questioning look the intimidating Leon was giving him. “We shouldn’t interfere with her life that would destroy her balance and cause her trouble. We as gods cannot permit that. It would be best to let her come and go as she pleases. That way she is relaxed and comfortable when we need her assistance.” While most of the gods nodded in agreement and Scorpio clicked her tongue in annoyance over the fact that the woman would be living with them; Leon stared Curt down for a moment, the two men never breaking eye contact.

Then Leon scuffed, as if Curt had won and went back to his seat. “Great, now that introductions are out of the way, let’s get you moved in.” He said with a grin as he turned back to her. “Come with me, I want to show you something cool.”

He led her to the front door and placed his hand on it. “Now you placed your hand on the door as well and imagine your home.” It took an extra moment but soon the door radiated a faint white light and Curt removed his hand and gestured for her to open the handle. Sure enough, when she opened the door, on the other side was her current home. “Now we’ll just carry things inside and up to your room. Neat huh?”

Boyfriend has 4, 3 biologically one he helped raise since she was born so practically his.
So we have the oldest over (boy age 16 so he's in his own world online ha ha ha) and the youngest (the one he helped raise) who's 8 and she loves playing with me whenever she can... which is all the time, every second of every day unless she gets distracted by Youtube.
Not to encourage continuous use of the digital babysitter but sometimes it's a BLESSING when you need to breath for an hour or so.

-laughs-
I'm kidding she's not that bad but she does love to play with me which I guess is a good thing!

“Move in?” He repeated, as if the thought never occurred to him. A thought-filled gaze moved across his face as he weighed the options of her staying with them versus living on her own. “I suppose that could work. The house has all the things you would need to function in your day to day human routine but we won’t be in need of help 24 hours a day; our job does consist of a lot of paperwork too. The only thing is that…” He let out a long sigh before looking around and enjoying the scenery. “We don’t know how long we’ll be here. Personally I don’t care. I could be here or there and be happy.”

“As much as we all appreciate your help, my goal is not to interfere with your daily life and routine. If moving in is the option you’d like to take, the only room that’s left doesn’t have its own bathroom so you’d have to use the one down the hall. Or you can have my room and I’ll sleep in guest one. Whatever’s the most comfortable for you.” Reaching over he picked up one of her hands and brought it to his lips, placing a gentle kind kiss on the back of her hand. “Thank you for being so understanding Alyssa, we are really in a pickle and it’s only you who can help us.” He gently let go of her hand and stood up.

Letting out a whistle, the dogs stopped playing and bounded over to them. Scratching each of them on their heads he turned to her as he tossed the ball up and down in the air. “Well, if you have no more questions other than moving in or not, we better go meet the rest of the gang.” His smile was bright and welcoming as he gestured towards the inside of the house.

Curt had never been so finicky in his life. Even leaning back in as causal of a manner as he could, he was playing with this thumbs and his leg was bouncing in a nearly uncomfortable fashion. His palms began to sweat and nervousness was kicking in. Man, he could do speeches in front of the kingdom, he could face the all-knowing king of the heavens and yet seeing next to a human and asking for their help was the most stressful thing he had ever encountered.

When she finally spoke, his anxiety vanished and relief filled his body, his shoulders dropped as a sign of relaxation and his palms became much less sweaty. “There’s always a choice; you can say no, you can say I’m nuts and leave. And I wouldn’t blame you. But you’re a kind person and I thank you for that. And don’t worry, I’ll make it clear to everyone it is hand holding only.” He gave a firm nod followed by a polite smile. “I’ll look after you; you don’t need to worry about anything. Though, I suppose I should introduce myself properly. I am Curt, and I am the God of the Cancer constellation. I work for a place called The Department of Wishes and I am the Vice-Director of the department. I and two other gods from this department are down here on earth. Our job is to grant the wishes of the humans.”

“There is another department from the heavens here too. The Department of Punishments; I know that may sound scary but think of it more like karma. It’s their job to insure those who do bad things learn from their mistakes and, hopefully, make better choices in the future.” Giving her a genuine smile he explained a little further, “Don’t worry about where you live, we have basic powers to make food and transportation. We can connect any door with the front door of the mansion. So we can come get you or have you come here. Some of us will probably do our work here in the mansion at the pools you saw in the basement. And some of us, myself included, would want to go into the human world to do our work.”

“This is probably a lot for you to process but the reason we can only use our major powers with you is because you are the reincarnation of a goddess. You can’t see them but you have stars in your eyes to prove it.” Without giving it much thought he leaned towards her looking her directly in the eyes. “They really are beautiful…”His voice was soft, low and whispering, as if it was a secret. “Oh,” He quickly pulled back and shook his head, “I’m sorry, now I’m being weird; I apologize.”

“Do you have any questions for me? I know the others would like to meet you but I don’t want you to feel too bombarded with all this information before you have to encounter more people.” His honest and carrying nature showing through as he gave her a friendly smile.
