@ColumbusGuy You have a good point about the kitten, and a stuffed toy will be easier to keep hold off. Later, they can decide if they want a live animal too. Yeah, Sablo may not pay much attention to an extra bike in the rack, and hopefully things are resolved with Theo before then. And Azrael should be long gone, before Sablo arrives, since finding them cuddles together on the couch might have cause a few tense moments. Imp may or may not turn up in the story, but so far he hasn't been causing any mischief in this case. More to come, but you'll have to wait to next week, sorry.

Thanks for your confidence, Parker. We'll do our best to resolve this. I like the bike chase idea, it may come in handy later.

Yep, both Sablo and Diego turned off their phones, see above. As for Azrael appearing, see my reply to travlbug. Theo has a special place in Azrael's heart and he's very loyal to his few friends. Let's hope Sablo has a chance to talk to his lover before he sees Ayil's bike next to Theo's. Visiting Ayil to make amends might be a good idea, but I have the feeling Sablo might want to avoid the embarrassment of meeting the Cupid Commander for a while yet. Though I guess he'll see him at Diego's award ceremony. Nope, Diego talking to Rahmiel is not a good idea.

He already did, and we've considered the best way to respond. @Pedro1954 had the right answer. Sablo turned his phone off, and Diego did the same. This was also to prevent Ariel contacting them or finding out where they are. Lots of evil devils, but none of them had a hand in the story - as far as I know. As for who assigned Diego to those missions, Imp would tell you they're the same who pushed him and Angel into A.I. team missions.

It's not easy to stop loving when you've been hit with silver arrows. And yes, I think Theo's reaction was a wake-up call for Sablo which will improve their relationship. Azrael is so misunderstood, people only see his title and forget the compassionate Angel behind the cloak. Theo is one of the few Cupids who made an effort to get to know him. Azrael doesn't forget that, and when his friend's pain called to him, he immediately responded. LOL, I like your ideas, but I don't think Sablo will display himself naked in front of Cupid Central. But when they get home, it's a different matter.

I really want to read that. Yep I have the same problem. This should be said to all of humanity, please. There are too many of us in the world. Very sad news about Notre Dame in Paris. I'm glad I've seen it twice.

Preferably five years from now and after both of them have had separate therapy (anger management for him and grief counseling for Richie).

So he can dish out money for a funeral and be kind to a stranger, how nice. And later he will tell Richie he did it for his sake, in a wonderful piece of emotional blackmail. Richie should work on forgetting or at least ignoring his sperm donor and appreciating the love and caring from his parent substitutes. I like uncle Ray and I'm sure aunt Barbara will be good for him too, as long as she stops trying to nag Richie about his father. Once Richie is grown up and can make his own decisions and they are more like strangers and on a more equal footing, he can perhaps reconnect with the man and lay the hurt and hate to rest. But right now everything will be on HIS terms, and Richie will have to give in on all fronts. His siblings may miss him, but it's better for them to see him happy in another home. I admire Richie for keeping his negative emotions away from them, but he shouldn't have said he might come back.

I did my best to throw people off too But I have to admit I was wrong and Bhopper was right.

I think Richie should feel great about hitting back at his father the way he did. He managed to explain why the accident happened in a way that will prevent anyone from asking him more questions as well as humiliating his father in front of his colleagues. Totally awesome. I hope he stops feeling bad about that, so he can focus on what really matters. If he wants to feel bad about anything it should be ignoring his aunt and uncle, and going along with Wade's stupid behavior. I'm not sad about him dying, but I'm sorry someone else got killed too.

Sablo lay in the dark with his arms behind his head. His brother was snoring softly on the other bed, but there was no way he’d be able to sleep. The scene with Theo kept playing in his head, and he couldn’t think of anything he could do to salvage the situation. Why hadn’t he realized Theo was different from most of the other Cupids he’d met? Dedicated and professional, in spite of joking about Ayil’s fondness for ‘proper protocol’ and arriving on time. His immediate recognition of Diego a

I forgot to say: You're welcome. I'm glad it was a nice surprise. I had a hard time not saying anything when you were discussing the story a little while before this. PS thanks for not running past 666, hope to pop in here later to celebrate the triple digits.

Especially when it's time to go to sleep. Please don't talk too much for the next 8 hours, or I'll miss page 666.

Luckily I don't watch those and I have no idea what the two you mention are.

Did you forget the ? Well, I certainly don't know - but perhaps there is nothing to know ?

I thought Sablo was the one who needed a good talking to. But yeah, I'm glad Ayil told Theo to get his act together. Throwing Sablo out was perhaps a little over the top. Although, I'm not sure Sablo would realize the immensity of his transgressions without being kicked out. As for open and sensible conversations taking place...

LOL, you may have a point - although we don't know if there are other Cupid-Guardian couples. However, Guardians are previous humans whereas Cupids are born angels, so they do start out differently. Yes Diego and Sablo have a lot in common.

Thanks Parker. Theo's reaction was a shock to Sablo (and me ), and now we're scrambling to make it up to him. Whether we'll be successful remains to be seen, but at least Ayil paved the way.

Thank you. Guardian Angels always think they can fix matters. But they've never dealt with an angry and devastated cupid before. I'm delighted the sheets incident resonated with you. That part was a sudden inspiration as I wrote. I'm quite proud about almost making you cry over that part.

Thanks, Pedro. I think Ayil has to be stern as a commander, in order to keep all those flighty cupids in check. But that doesn't mean he's immune to the romantic stuff. Also, I think he considers Theo and Sable his responsibilty, since he personally shot them. It wouldn't look good if their relationship failed. As for whatever may be going on between Ariel and Ayil ? (Actually, I have no idea. This is all Aditus. )

LOL they need to work on how to communicate.

Thanks for the warning, I'll try to check in regularly. But I only have internet in my hotel room. My vacation is great btw. I apologize for not posting a new Prompt chapter Sunday, I completely forgot. On the other hand, it will give @Drew Espinosa a chance to catch up.

Well, even I did know about Section 28. Sounds like Russia today. And this was in force until 2003. Maybe not so surprising there are still parents in Britain who object to their children learning about the existence of homosexuality as part of the school curriculum. I think that fall was lucky in that it gave Eric a chance to experience a wonderful example of an affectionate gay couple. To warm his lonely heart at the fire of their love and to be shown there is nothing wrong or strange about two men loving each other.

Sablo had almost finished packing when his brother arrived. He was collecting the four or five pictures of him and Theliel which stood or hung in the apartment, fearing his partner might be angry enough to destroy them. Diego walked through the front door in combat gear, but without his weapons, and the two brothers stared at each other for a long moment. “You ready to go?” Diego’s clipped tone revealed nothing of his thoughts. “Almost. Let me just walk through the place to see whether I

Thanks - I hate flying, but afterwards it'll be great. Thanks - I plan to. I'm off, see y'all later.
