choke on divinity    &     call it love .

( @vanillasick​  /  prompted !  ) :  ❛❛ I would like to remind you about the tiered Heavens, and the hierarchy of Angels. The reminder is that you should not know anything about this. ❜❜ rip

( prompt / @vanillasick​ ) :  oh incorrect quotes thank you

vani : are you even listening to me ? betel :  well, i hear you talking.

alternatively . 

                  “ don’t fucking touch me. ”   words are hissed, far too harshly and far too deservedly. personal space is not often a problem for the demon, but touching others is a wildly different experience to being touched, and betelgeuse finds that the ethereal creature’s touch brings warm, unnerving discomfort. they figure it has something to do with the fact they are an angel, and betel is . . . mostly demon. dead and long rotting. 

@vanillasick​ said... ‘ i do not support the death of the living, but, i do support the concept of kindness. your boyfriend turns things into a paradox rather quickly. humor me, what is your reasoning for not killing him, betelgeuse? i would not be able to kill mine, personally, because of my love for them. or perhaps because i am not a demon. ’ let the two couples know of each other

              “ humor you? ” betelgeuse stares at the angel, dumbfounded. ( mostly because that’s an angel, a literal angel speaking to him and he’s pretty sure that’s like, not supposed to happen. are the angels spying on him? he hasn’t interacted with the divine since.... he can’t even remember if he ever has. this one knows his name, which makes him wonder if they’ve ever met before, or if angels just know things demons could never. )

               he probably should start answering or he’s gonna be smited or something. “ uh..... okay. ” and so betelgeuse thinks. he thinks, for the first time, very seriously about why he and mystral are still together, or on the flip side, why he hasn’t killed him so they can be together more permanently. and he finds he doesn’t have the answer. or at least not the answer he ( or the angel for that matter ) wants.

             “ because he doesn’t deserve it, ” he answers finally. and that in and of itself is a paradox. coming from any other dead thing who would love being dead, it may sound like mystral doesn’t deserve the freedom death brings. and in some ways, that’s true. mystral has done nothing but beg for it, and betel refuses every time despite it being easy. he knows he’s tormenting mystral with life, and he enjoys it. and so it would be oh so easy to leave it there, never discuss it again, and get this angel to stop staring at him in that creepy way. but it’s not the whole truth.
