#fallen!michael

Cuz I'd live for that reunion

In an AU where Michael DOES fall, it's after the second conflict in Hell where the exterminators again pay a visit to Hell with the intent of.... well, war. Wipe out ALL sinners and not just the ones they find out in the open. The reason for his fall is because of his betrayal too heaven when he refuses to kill Lucifer and is seen as a traitor and guilty of treason.

He taken to trial but one things leads to another and the trial doesn't really... pan out LMAO

You will be my wings.

Michael clutches his chest, his breathing ragged. “I would ask why,” he says through his tears, “but I don’t need to know why to know what I have to do now.”

The young man raised his eyes from a dusty book. They were red and puffy, human, but his brother’s eyes nonetheless.

"Thank you" he said, with the polite gratitude one reserves to strangers.

Lucifer shook his head. “You seemed in need of a break.”

"A breakdown is more likely." He smiled and pointed at the empty spot beside his own. "Here, have a sit. I’m David, by the way."

Lucifer’s heart broke, still he managed to smile back. “Lucifer.”

”Lucifer? Did your parents use to burn churches down?”

No, you did.

"Lucifer is the light bearer. It’s not a bad thing, you know."

He sounded somewhat offended; David smiled again. “Well, you sure enlightened my day.” He grabbed the cup and took a sip, slow and deliberated. A playful grin on his lips. “And you sure as hell aren’t a diabetic. It’s like drinking liquid sugar.”

"Are you? Diabetic, I mean."

"I wasn’t."

David shook his head and Lucifer immediately knew where this was going, even before the young man opened his mouth. His big brother, always the diligent one.

"I’ll leave you to your books."

He was halfway to standing, when David’s hand closed on his wrist. His touch was light, warm, just as he remembered.

"I’m sorry" David said. "I don’t wanna sound ungrateful or rude, but–"

"But you really need to study, I understand."

Lucifer smiled and took his leave, but David stalled him again.

"Saturday night, in front of the library. I’m gonna need a beer, however it ends."
