One fine day Alfred is called to see his acquaintance, Nation A. Apparently Nation A has found something fascinating that Alfred simply must see. Upon his arrival, Alfred is led down to the basement, where he is introduced to Arthur, a very pretty young man with wings, who is currently being kept in a sort of large birdcage.
Alfred's fascination soon gives way to horror when he sees that Arthur, who has the mind of a human, is being kept as a pet and treated poorly. Cue rescue, living together, and development of romance.
Bonuses: -Arthur is furious at his captivity, and voices this quite often. -He is unsure how to act once they escape.
Alfred had slept in the same hotel room the night before and he was certain that it hadn’t seemed so dark and creepy then. He curled up tighter on himself, pulling the cover with him as he did. Maybe it was more frightening this time round because he was on the floor; a cold draft was wrapping itself around him with an eerie whisper
( ... )
“It was the most painful thing I’ve ever lived through. Everything I was, wrenched apart at the roots and seams, slammed back together in a mess of tangibility. I wanted to throw up and rip myself open at the same time, get rid of the thoughts that were seeping away from me anyway because it’d stop me being able to feel this agony.
And then it was over. Then it was my face was pressed into the earth, not someone else’s, my hands scratched and bleeding as I tore them on sticks getting to my feet. It was like visiting, but thousands of times better. My own arms and legs, head, fingers. I felt practised at this, the sensation wasn’t so strange after I got used to it. The only thing that was alien was my wings, but they were fantastic. I could fly, still feel as weightless as a thought, but it was easy to slip back to earth and walk on the ground

... And here you have how Arthur came to be imprisoned. Originally it wasn't quite this depressing. It shouldn't get this heavy again... Hope everyone enjoyed.

My heart literally breaks for Arthur. After all that had happened with Francis and then to be put into a cage... poor, poor Arthur. To feel so out of place and not being able to trust or go back to the person you did it for must be horrible.
You did such a good job with that and I loved your explanation of angels.

Oh...oh God, Arthur, sweetheart- D': I didn't think this fill would get this serious (even though you've said it may just be for this one part). Still, I'm rather glad that it did. Gives it more meaning. ♥
Your explanation for the existance of angels was...strangely beautiful, ya know? It's just so poetic~
Super excited for the next update! I can't wait to see were it goes from here! :D

I love this even more, the way you described angels was very original, and I didn't expect Arthur to have been in love with Francis! Poor Arthur :( He must have been holding in those tears for a long time. I demand another update :3
oh wow, the explanation of Arthur's origins and how he came to earth was beautifully constructed and very original. My heart is aching for Arthur and what he's been through.

Lovelovelovelovelove.
I love this, the description of Angel!Arthur and how captivated Alfred was by him. And Arthur recognised how Alfred felt and used it (which I would see him doing) but still trusting Alfred where it counted.
Why do I think that Francis is definitely not going to be happy about Arthur going missing?
