Swap AU Part: 6

Michael had been flying over the garden for a while now in search of a certain human. The lake was devoid of the first man’s presence when he came down from Heaven. Of course, he waited at first, maybe Adam was just late or busy. Though as more time passed, his concern only grew. There was nothing dangerous in the garden, every animal and every plant were all safe for the humans, but at the same time, Adam had never missed their daily meetings. In fact, the human himself claimed it was what he most looked forward to everyday. So where was he? The last time he was delayed was when Lucifer had tried to talk to him…

The sound of soft chattering directed the angel’s attention towards a small river, secluded by an encompassing green forest. Michael flew down towards the sound. It could be Adam. Though as he got nearer, the voice sounded clearer, the pitch a bit higher, the tone more reserved. In front of him was the first man sitting by the river bank, his knees close to his chest and his expression a little uncomfortable and guarded, albeit willing to stay and listen to… Lilith, the first woman, as she made small talk in such a casual manner. 

“Adam, I’ve been looking for you,” Michael announced his presence as he walked towards the first man and kept an aloof eye on Lilith at the same time. “You weren’t by the lake.”

Adam gasped then looked up at the sky. The sun was at its peak, its intense rays shone brightly over the entire garden. “Oh, I’m so sorry Michael! I didn’t realise the time!”

“Oh, so you’re Adam’s new friend, Michael,” Lilith noted, her cheek resting on the palm of her hand as she observed the unfamiliar angel. The angel bore some resemblance to her chosen husband, Lucifer; sunny blonde hair and milky white skin, but that was all. This angel was taller, less wispy, and definitely not as amiable as Lucifer, if his freezing gaze towards her were any indication. Still, that didn’t dissolve Lilith’s relaxed demeanour, angels were not allowed to bring any harm to humans after all. “I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Lilith.”

The air of nonchalance that surrounded her, her confident gaze, her amused smile. Michael disliked all of it. The way she acted like she belonged wherever she pleased when she should be the last thing to approach Adam. “I know who you are, first woman,” Michael replied. “I’ve taken over Lucifer’s job as Adam’s guardian since the incident. I’m sure you’re well aware of it.”

“Uh uhm, Michael…” Adam looked at the angel with pleading eyes. The air around them had suddenly gone heavier, the tension crisp as it sent shivers to his spine. Why was this happening now? Just as he was about to fix things with Lilith!

The smile that graced Lilith’s face quickly faded at Michael’s words. The careless elegance upon her figure was replaced with stilled paleness as dread surfaced in her eyes. “Oh. I’m assuming Adam told you.”

Michael nodded, “Though you are saved from the consequences for now.” He pulled Adam closer to him, wings protectively wrapped around him. “You can thank Adam’s kindness for that.”

Lilith released a breath she hadn’t realised she was even holding. The stiffness that overtook her body washed away by relief from the words she just heard, though some unease lingered preventing her to assume the level of nonchalance she had prior. “I guess you’re right.” She turned her gaze towards Adam, her expression unreadable. “Thanks Adam, that was very kind of you.”

Everything seemed to be going wrong. Things were supposed to get better, not worse! Adam quickly pulled away from Michael and stood between the angel and the first woman in an effort to mend the situation. “Michael, Lilith and I were just patching up. Please be kind to her.”

Michael simply gave a blank stare. Did he hear that right? Adam was rebuilding his relationship with Lilith after everything she had done with Lucifer? Surprise and a bit of disappointment flashed in his eyes before he quickly regained his composure. “That’s good…I suppose,” he huffed. 

Adam kept his gaze on the angel, pleading and reprimanding at the same time forcing Michael to break contact as he shifted his gaze to a random tree. “I will be polite.”

That was better than nothing Adam supposed, though he did hope that everyone would get along better in the future. He turned to look at Lilith. She seemed a bit better now, some of the cool air than normally surrounded her coming back as her figure appeared to be relaxing slowly. That was a good sign. Adam released a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry about that Lilith.”

“That’s alright,” Lilith smiled. “I feel like we started off on the wrong foot.” She looked at the sour angel behind Adam. “Hi, I’m Lilith, the first woman and a friend of Adam.”

Michael sighed to himself. He couldn’t believe what he was about to do. To pretend to make friends with one of God’s traitorous creations. “I’m the archangel Michael, the sword of God and Adam’s current guardian.” He turned around, picked a direction and then started to slowly walk away. “Alright, let’s go Adam.”

“Ah- wait..!” Adam rushed back to his spot earlier near Lilith and picked up the small bag he left there before running after the angel.

“What’s with the rush?,” Lilith asked from her seat by the river bank.

“Oh, we’re just about to grab something for lunch,” answered Adam as he paused in his tracks.

“Ooh, can I join?”

“No,” Michael replied tersely as he stopped to look at the first woman.

Lilith settled comfortably on her seat, an amused smile gracing her lips. “Why not?”

Feeling the atmosphere become more awkward and tense again, Adam replied to Lilith before Michael could, “Maybe next time Lilith, sorry.” And with that the two left, leaving a clearly amused Lilith by the river bank.

—-

On the other side of the massive forest, far from the river bank where Lilith was, Michael and Adam picked forest berries by hand and placed them onto a small basket the angel had conjured for them to use. The heavy atmosphere from earlier was now replaced with the serenity of bird songs and the cooling shade of the forest foliage away from the heat of the midday sun. 

“Are you okay?,” Michael suddenly asked as he kept on picking berries.

Adam stopped to face the angel, head tilted to the side. “What do you mean?”

“From what I know the last time, you didn’t want to be even near her.” Michael placed the berries he picked into the basket before straightening himself up and returned Adam’s gaze. “If she’s forcing you to do things for her, then I can put a stop to that.”

“Nono, she wasn’t doing any of that,” Adam smiled, a small chuckle escaping his lips. His angel was such a worrywart. “We were genuinely trying to fix things between us. And while I still haven’t forgiven her or Lucifer, I do miss the way things were before…this,” he gestured randomly around him. “So I’m trying harder this time.” 

Michael hummed in response. He accepted Adam’s response, but couldn’t help but be a bit unsatisfied. Again, he thought that the first man was being too easy with those two, but he supposed he just had to respect his wishes no matter how much he disagreed with them. Kindness and patience was a virtue after all, though the human seemed to have too much of it. Michael released a sigh at his inability to really do anything at the current circumstances. He really didn’t like it. This feeling of uselessness. He was one of God’s mightiest angels, and yet here he was letting a fragile human deal with the troubles in the garden, that shouldn’t exist in the first place, while all he could really do was stand by and watch. 

Adam had gone back to picking berries when he heard Michael sigh and mumble something under his breath. A thought then struck his mind and he quickly got back up, a little panicked, and grabbed the angel by his shoulders, forcing him to look back at him.

“Ah! Of course that doesn’t mean I want you to leave!,” Adam quickly added. “You’re a change that I’m very happy to have permanently!”

Though Michael was confused and unsure of what caused the first man to react like that, he was also happy at what Adam had thought of him. The idea of being a permanent change in Adam’s life; to have carved and marked his spot forever in Adam’s heart. It all sounded…nice. “Then I’ll be sure to remain by your side for eternity,” he smiled with a fondness that came from deep within him. 

To have those crystal blue eyes look fondly at him and that tender smile that rarely appeared on his flawless face directed at him made Adam’s stomach feel odd. As if there was something small fluttering inside, like a bunch of tiny butterflies fluttering about unsure if where to go. With slightly shaky hands, Adam let go of the shorter angel, looking away from his bejewelled face. He could feel a slight warmth on his cheeks, and the need to simply hide away bubbled inside him as he fought to remain still. “I, uh, sorry…for shaking you like that,” he coughed into his palm in an attempt to hide his burning face.

“No need to apologise. It didn’t hurt me or anything,” Michael let out a small laugh. “Though, I must admit, it was a bit odd,” he added, amusement on his face as he watched Adam somehow turn redder. He wasn’t sure what was causing the man to become so bashful, but he quite liked it. He found him especially endearing like that. It suited him. That was how Michael thought things should be for Adam. To have simple worries only, and none of that Lilith and Lucifer thing. And he was glad to at least have that kind of effect on Adam.

Adam released a shaky breath, “W-well, those berries aren’t going to pick themselves!” And with that excuse, Adam ran off to a random direction away from the angel, bringing the basket full of berries with him. 

“Ah. He ran away,” Michael muttered to himself. He looked down at his hands full of berries. “And took the basket with him…”

Why did he run away? Adam really didn’t know why, but he simply felt like he had to, and before he knew it, his mouth made a silly excuse and his legs carried him away. At that moment, he felt like he was about to combust as if the butterflies inside of him just multiplied tenfold and were screaming for an escape out of him. And if he was about to explode, then at least he had the decency not to do it in front of Michael. 

…

Adam groaned into his hands. Why was he acting like this? Recently, he had been feeling a bit odd, like there was something inside of him. It was something akin to nausea, but also quite different. Was he ill? Did he eat something bad? He was sure there weren’t any bad things in the garden. The worse thing was that the feeling sometimes intensified whenever Michael got a little too close to him. Was that what was making him ill? Angelic presence? That didn’t make sense to Adam. He spent plenty of time with Lucifer before and he never got sick. Lilith was also still fine. Adam wondered and wondered, put all of his thought into this one thing, but came up with no answers. He was so confused.

After a few moments of regaining his composure and taming the butterflies inside of him, and much back and forth with himself, Adam finally returned to where he left Michael. The first man came back having picked precisely zero berries since he ran away, too busy being bewildered and worried about himself, while the angel had two new baskets beside himself filled to the brim with berries, way more than what Adam had. 

“Oh, welcome back,” Michael commented offhandedly, still busy picking berries despite most of the bushes and trees now devoid of said berries. 

“Um, I think we’ve gathered plenty enough for ourselves Michael.” Adam looked at the staggering amount of berries the angel had gathered, and then to the empty bushes around said angel. “Way too much.”

At that, Michael paused his activity and finally truly looked at his surroundings. Oh. Perhaps he got a little too engrossed. “Huh. Well, that’s less work for us to do tomorrow, I suppose.” 

“Yes, well, um, that’s good…” Adam fidgeted at his spot. He could feel the butterflies starting to flutter wildly in his stomach again, his hands were getting clammy by the second as he held the little leaf bag in his bag. “...actually, I’ve got something for you.”

Well that got the angel curious. Michael eyed the small bag that Adam had in a tight and guarded grip. “Really? What is it?” 

Adam nervously made his way towards the angel, one hand outstretched as he reluctantly handed over the small bag he was holding to Michael. “I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful lyre you gifted me,” Adam said, his cheeks turning slightly pink. “I hope you like it.”

The bag felt light in Michael’s hand, almost weightless. Slowly, he opened it, revealing its contents to himself. Inside was a carefully handcrafted bracelet decorated with various glistening stones, such as sapphires, aquamarines and lazurites, and seashells of varying shapes and sizes painted white, light blue and a deep ocean blue, all held by a silky golden fibre. The care and thought put into the small gift evident by the intricacies etched into the pieces that completed it. 

The angel’s silence at seeing his gift was eating Adam up inside. “Do you not like it?”

Michael looked back up at Adam, taken aback by the first man’s question. How could he possibly not like it? It was one of the most thoughtful gifts he had ever received in his existence. “Adam, I love it,” he answered as he proudly put the bracelet on his wrist. “It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever been gifted. Thank you, really,” he smiled wholeheartedly, his deep blue eyes glistening with sincere appreciation, the little golden stars under his eyes glowing faintly under the shadow of the forest foliage. 

“Really?,” asked Adam, still somewhat unsure. There was no way his little gift was the most beautiful thing someone as nice as Michael had ever received.

“I wouldn’t lie to you,” Michael guaranteed.

Adam felt his heart swell at that.

[Things are getting sappy 😖]

Swap AU Part: 5

A sweet melody resounded between the foliage of the forest, the soft bubbling of the river water as it moved over rocks and pebbles a soothing complement to the pleasant tune. Adam sat by the river side busying himself with pigments and sea shells and beautiful stones of varying shapes and colours. Just a couple of days ago, Michael had gifted him a lyre, and even taught him how to use it after he heard the first man sing along with the birds. The archangel told him that he seemed to have a talent for music and offered to teach him new ways to enhance his singing voice. Adam was, of course, more than happy to accept. He loved the lyre that the angel gifted to him. It produced sounds so melodious, so heavenly he could feel his heart be filled and enraptured by its beautiful melody. It was quite similar to how Michael’s presence made him feel sometimes… Regardless, he wanted to show his appreciation by creating a small gift for the archangel. It wasn’t anything particularly grand or as fine as the lyre, but he hoped his thoughts and efforts would shine through his work and Michael would like it enough to accept it.

The sound of a set of soft footsteps leisurely moving towards him burst his little tranquil bubble and disrupted his flow of work as he quickly tried to stuff his tools and supplies into a handmade pouch made of leaves. Is Michael here already?! But it’s still so early! 

Adam was still hurriedly packing his things away when the set of footsteps finally arrived beside him. He quickly pulled his little bag close to his body before turning to the person beside him. “Michael! You’re a bit–”

The words instantly died in his throat when he was greeted with long flowing blonde hair instead of shorter wavy ones, and sharp amethyst eyes instead of deep blue ones. 

“Hello Adam, may I sit here?”

Adam turned away, his cheery mood instantly dampened by Lilith’s presence. “Why bother asking? It’s not like you ever listen.”

“Hmm, you’re right,” Lilith replied as she took her seat beside Adam.

The two sat in uncomfortable silence. Well, uncomfortable only for Adam as Lilith seemed to be leisurely enjoying the serene sounds that echoed around the river bank. Her eyes were closed as she soaked up the early morning sun that filtered through the foliage. Her posture was so relaxed and nonchalant as if this was something she did on a regular basis. 

“Your singing was quite lovely. I didn’t know you sang so well.”

“That’s because you were never there to hear it,” Adam answered, his whole still turned away from Lilith. 

Lilith simply hummed in response, her eyes still closed, still relaxing under the sun. 

Adam sighed, a little annoyed at Lilith’s nonchalance. “Why are you here, Lilith?”

At that Lilith finally opened her eyes as she turned to face Adam, body slightly leaning towards him. “Are you ready to talk?”

“No.”

“Then why are you still here?” Lilith leaned back, her sharp eyes trained on Adam’s closed off figure. “You’re free to go. I won’t stop you.”

She was right. Adam was free to go, and he almost did go. To just leave Lilith hanging there without another word would ease the sore spot still inside him, but by just a tiny bit. But it wouldn’t really change or solve anything. He supposed it was time for him to stop running away. He couldn’t avoid her forever, they shared the same home after all, eventually they would run into each other. If he were to share a space with her, he thought he might as well make it bearable for both of them. Still, that didn’t mean he had to like her. 

Adam turned to face Lilith, this time with more vigour. “Why should I leave? I got here first.”

A smirk formed on Lilith’s lips, a smug look in her eyes. “There you are. Welcome back.” She supposed it was about time. She had hoped that Adam would be more receptive to her after having given him the time and space she thought he needed. And it seemed that she was right after all. Though her darling husband Lucifer almost did ruin her chances by being a little too obtrusive with his expressions of regret. 

Seeing Lilith’s self satisfied expression only deepened the frown on Adam’s face. Was she just playing with him again? Was this some sort of test to see if she still held some control over his feelings? Well, he learned his lesson with her, and he wasn’t about to play her game. 

Just as Adam was about to get up and leave, Lilith held out her hand, urging him to remain seated. “Please stay. I do really want to talk.”

And so, Adam begrudgingly did stay, though he didn’t talk. What was there for him to say to her? He was pretty sure he had expressed his thoughts and feelings towards both her and Lucifer well enough.

“How have you been lately?,” Lilith asked.

Adam let out a bitter laugh. Really? Was she really asking him this? “Both you and Lucifer have hurt me in such ways I didn’t even think was possible until now.”

Lilith winced at that. She really did go too far this time. With a deep breath, she replied, “I’ve thought about some things. With the time between us. Letting how my actions have affected you sink in.” A pause. And then she looked Adam straight in the eyes with a look that had never been so sincere. “Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t regret choosing Lucifer and I don’t think I ever will. But we shouldn’t have gone behind your back like that.”

“But you did.”

“I know. And I do regret that. We just couldn’t trust you not to tell the angels about us, but now I know we were wrong.” Never in her existence thus far had Lilith ever feel such regret and remorse. Being proclaimed perfect by the angels ever since she first took her breath and reinforced by Lucifer’s constant praises, Lilith never had to question herself. She was after all flawless, how could she ever make a mistake? But she supposed if two perfect beings could clash, then one of them was bound to be in the wrong. Though it took a lot out of Lilith, this time, she had no choice but to admit her faults. 

Adam remained seated on his spot as he took in her words. It was satisfying. To hear the proud Lilith be remorseful and for once admit her mistakes. But still…

“Did you truly believe that I would want harm to come to you? Lilith, I’ve done nothing but try to be a good husband to you. Did you really think that low of me?”

“You were always the obedient one…”

The two sat in silence. Well, at least now they knew partly why they didn’t work out as husband and wife. Though it was a little too late for that revelation. 

Suddenly, Lilith got this look in her eyes. Her amethyst eyes sparkled with a certain kind of resolve as a thought came to her. “Adam, I would like to start over again. Not as husband and wife heaven forced us to be, but as potential friends. This time, I would try to get to know you. The real you.” Lilith moved forward, closer to Adam. “And no more lying! What do you say?”

Adam was so taken aback by Lilith’s proposal he didn’t know what to say. It just felt like too many things were happening at once at such a fast pace. She came out of nowhere, convinced him to listen, admitted her faults and now she wanted to start over. And while it did sound nice to be able to go back to how things initially were, this time without the lying, he needed things to be at a slower pace. And so, he gently pushed the too close Lilith by her shoulder away from him.

“I’d like to start over too. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you already.”

Lilith blinked slowly as she allowed Adam to push her away from him. She supposed she was too eager. Regaining her composure, Lilith leaned back and re-assumed her leisured posture. 

“Of course not. I’m actually surprised you even listened to me. I know I wouldn’t have.” Lilith paused, a hand stroking her chin. “I think I would’ve even been violent.”

Adam moved back a bit at Lilith’s admission; a small shiver ran down his spine. Was this the woman who was supposed to be his wife? The one the angels told him to love and be gentle with? How scary. 

Lilith held out her hand towards Adam. “To new beginnings?”

Adam accepted her hand, a new hope blooming in his chest. “To new beginnings.”

Michael had a few hours before his daily visit to Eden. He had been so swamped with work as of late, and trying to balance that with spending time with Adam in Eden had left him no time to find Lucifer. This time, however, after doing some extra work last night, he finally had some time to spare. Now all he had to do was find Lucifer. Though it was proving to be a bit difficult. In fact, he hadn’t seen much of his brother in the last few days. He was either too busy or just couldn’t be found anywhere. It was almost like Lucifer was making himself scarce in his presence. 

A familiar laughter in a crowd of voices caught his attention. Found him. 

The friendly angel was, as usual, surrounded by younger angels as they listened to his wild ideas and unique stories with wide fascinated eyes. This time, it seemed that he was telling them about the chimera. A three headed beast that consisted of a lion’s head, a goat’s head on its back, and a serpent for a tail. And it also breathed fire. The dangerous creature was let out to roam the earth outside of Eden along with many of Lucifer’s pet projects deemed too unstable for the garden. 

“There you are,” Michael said as he approached the group. “I’ve been looking for you.” He placed a hand on Lucifer’s shoulder, just in case he tried to slip away again. 

Lucifer stiffened at Michael’s sudden greeting. A little anxiously, he looked up to his taller brother, an awkward smile on his face. “Oh, hi Michael. I thought you were busy today?”

“I just so happened to find some time.” Michael glanced at the young angels that surrounded Lucifer. All of them looked a little unnerved by Michael’s presence. “Sorry, but can I talk with my brother privately?”

The young angels gave each other a look before turning back to both brothers. And despite Lucifer’s silent plea for them not to leave, they all timidly gave their farewells and see you laters to the creative angel. 

“You scared them away.” Lucifer visibly deflated. He loved the newly made angels. They were always more open-minded towards his ideas than those who had stayed in Heaven for a while now; influenced by Heaven’s rigid order and beliefs. “So? What did you want to talk about?”

“Not here. Let’s go back to my place,” Michael answered.

Suddenly, Lucifer got a bad feeling about this ‘talk’.

And his bad feeling seemed to be well founded. As soon as they arrived at Michael’s place, the taller angel quickly locked the door, closed the windows and pulled down the curtains as he made sure there were no other angels in the vicinity that could hear them.

“Okayyy. You’re worrying me a bit there Michael.”

Michael pulled down one last curtain before heading towards the couch Lucifer was sat at. His cool expression from earlier now an anger that was about to burst. 

“You should be worried Lucifer. Especially with what you did in Eden!,” Michael hissed.

Lucifer’s response of a confused look and a tilted head only fueled Michael’s agitation towards his brother. How did Lucifer manage to convince the council to give him the main responsibility of looking after the garden of Eden and the humans that inhabited it? Were they that blind? Michael could feel his energy draining just thinking about it. 

“Lucifer, Adam told me what you did.”

That seemed to have finally alerted the small angel to the severity of the conversation. His confused look earlier now replaced with a horrified one. He shrank back at his seat as he reluctantly looked at his brother. And what he saw in those cold blue eyes confirmed his fears. Adam had told Michael about his affair with Lilith. Suddenly, a cold fear pierced his body, leaving him frozen at his spot, unable to refute or defend himself to his brother. Now what? What was going to happen to both him and Lilith? 

Sensing his brother’s growing panic, Michael placed a hand on Lucifer’s shoulder, grounding him back to reality. “Calm down. Adam asked me not to tell anyone else, and unlike you, I don’t go behind people’s backs.”

“Huh? Adam did that?,” Lucifer asked, a little confused and shocked. So not all was lost? The first man still cared for him as a friend? A small happiness bloomed in his chest. It was still possible for him to regain Adam’s friendship despite all that has happened. 

“Yes, and I think he was too lenient with both you and Lilith, but that was his choice.”

Lucifer huffed. What did he know about anything? Michael was barely even in Eden and now he was acting like he knew what was best for Adam. As if him trying to replace Lucifer wasn’t enough. He was still a bit bitter when the first man had rejected him, but was readily willing to be with Michael. He knew he messed up terribly, and he knew he asked his brother to look after Adam in his stead, but did Michael really have to act like he was so much better than him? 

“But that’s not the main reason I wanted to talk to you,” Michael continued. Lucifer and Lilith may have escaped punishment for now, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t give Lucifer a piece of his mind. 

“What were you thinking Lucifer? Really? To have an affair with the first woman?” Michael rubbed at his temples. “You know Heaven would never allow that. Not only that, but you’ve also put a stop to humanity’s progress. They’re bound to start asking questions sooner or later, Lucifer. What do you hope to do then?”

“Is it so wrong Michael? I can’t help who I’ve fallen for! And the same goes for Lilith,” answered Lucifer, suddenly finding his voice. He might have regretted lying to Adam, but he would not be shamed into leaving Lilith. “You may think they’re just humans, Michael. That they’re supposed to just blindly obey Heaven, but I know they’re more than that! They’re more than just Heaven’s little project.” Lucifer gasped for breath, a little overwhelmed by his burst of feelings. This time, he fully faced Michael, a searching look in his eyes. “You’ve spent time with Adam. Surely you believe he should get to choose for himself too?”

Lucifer looked at his pale hands, suddenly feeling helpless despite the power that was gifted to him when he was first made. “And if Heaven eventually does find out then… I don’t know, but somehow we’ll find a way together.”

This was absurd. Maybe even beyond delusional. Michael knew his brother had wild ideas, but he didn’t realise it had gotten this bad. These kinds of thoughts were dangerous, bordering on blasphemous. To go directly against their Father’s intended plans. If Heaven were to ever find out Lucifer held these kinds of thoughts in his head… Well, he wasn’t sure what would happen except for the fact it wouldn’t be good for his brother. 

But what Lucifer said about Adam choosing for himself… Well, luckily he didn’t have to worry about the first man going astray from Heaven’s plan for him. Really, it should neither be his or Lucifer’s business with the goings on with the humanity project. That was up to angels like Sera, who were directly involved with their creation. 

Michael let out a deep sigh. He could feel a headache coming on. There was no convincing his brother, that he knew, but he supposed he could still try. “Lucifer, you have your role to play, I also have my own, and so do the humans. We all have roles to play to keep things in working order. We should just stick to that to avoid ruining everything.”

To say that he was disappointed would be an understatement. Lucifer had hoped that Michael would at least understand a little bit of his point after having spent time in the garden, but he supposed he expected too much. It wasn’t completely Michael’s fault, angels were made to be subservient to God after all. Lucifer was just…an oddity. Still, being made from the same stardust, Lucifer expected a bit more from his brother. 

“Oh, and also,” Michael continued. “I want you to keep your distance from Adam unless he has given you permission, okay?”

“What?”

Michael got up from his seat and got ready for his daily visit to the garden. “You’ve hurt him plenty enough, Lucifer.” One by one, he put up the curtains and opened some of the windows. “It’s time to realise you’re no good for him.”

And with that, Michael opened the door. “I have to leave now, but keep in mind what we discussed,” he said with finality before heading off to the garden, leaving an astounded Lucifer at his seat.
