Prompt Used: Ulala Session - Beautiful Night
"His power and skills are rising so fast, it's extraordinary. Iv never seen this before. He has only been here 70 years and he already has his wings, plus his skills are already on the level of Angels that have been here 500 years. It makes no sense God? If he keeps on like he is we will have a problem soon. Iv only seen one other time like this, and well....you know how that turned out..." God could only shake his head in agreement at his right hand mans statement. It only happened one other time that someone has grown at this rate.
Lucifer.
He thought he was so strong, he thought he was more powerfull than God. He tried to over take Gods position. Or at least that was his plan. But God is God and that is impossible. So he struck him to the under world , forever to stay and watch over the evil people of the world who have died. Forever to stay in the fiery heat of Hell.
God knew what he had to do. Before it was to late. "Michael, please go get Key. But before you do please open the portal." God said while looking down, the bright white floors looking back at him. God did not want to do what he was about to do. But he couldn't risk the chance of another angel trying to over throw him. He knew Key didn't have any thoughts of such. But nether did Lucifer at the beginning.
Reality coming back as he heard the swoosh of the portal opening. The only portal to earth and hell. Guess which one Key was heading too? It was a straight shot to hell from the portal in heaven. It lined up perfectly, when the portal to heaven opened so did the one to hell. You just had to go through earth to get there.
--
Michael walked down the hallways of the school section of heaven, thousands of hallways to thousands of rooms, to learn anything. Any language, any culture, any subject. It wasn't required for angels to learn everything. But if you ever wanted to achieve a higher rank you defiantly had to try. And Key was well on his way. Thought making Michael sigh at the fate he was about to send Key to.
He finally reaches the room Key was in. He was sitting at the table helping a younger angel with bio genetics, the younger just beginning to get the feathers of his wings. While Key sitting beside him had fully grown wings, millions of bleach white feathers. Each wing probably over 15 feet when he stretched them out to fly. Yours wings show everything, every skill you have learned, every good deed you've ever done, he is probably going to get one soon for helping the younger angel with his studies. But you can't get a feather for just any good deed, because there are always those new angel that are getting their one and only second chance. If the intentions arnt pure you will not recive anything.
"Key, you are summoned to the main office." Key looked up at the sudden interruption, his face twisting into one of confusion. 'Why would God want to see me?' Key thought. "Am I in trouble?" Key said with a good hearted smile. Michael swallowed an audible gulp. And didn't respond to Key. He just looked him in the eyes with apology. The color drained from Keys face. As he realized something was wrong. He slowly closed the book that was open in front of him, "We'll pick up where we left off later okay Taemin?" Taemin shook his head with out saying a word, as the new aura of the room evolved into something grim. Key slid his chair back, standing up and walking torwards Michael. With out another word they exited the room and started to walk back through the maze of hallways Key had grown so familiar with. He reached his hand out letting his hand glide against the pristine walls. A feeling growing inside him that he might not ever touch them again. 'What could I have done? I have done nothing but study and Do good deeds? What is this? Why?...' Keys thoughts continued on doubting and questioning till they reached the main office. The office that God himself stood in.
Michael slowly turned the door knob. Key was met with the site of God sitting in his plush white chair, seemingly in deep thought. "I have brought Key sir." Michael stated as he motioned for Key to walk in. "Thank you, you can go now." God said, his deep voice ringing in the quiet room. The door was swiftly shut behind Key, leaving the two alone in the room. Key gulped, trying to bring saliva to his mouth, but not succeeding. His throat was as dry as the desert. "Please come over here." God said as he stood up from his chair. Key cautiously walked towards him. Only now noticing the open portal. His eyes growing wide at the site. "You have learned and grown at an extraordinarily fast pace. Faster then any one I have ever seen. It is truly amazing." God said while looking at Key, watching as he took slow steps. Getting closer and closer to the portal. "Thank you God. T-that means a lot." Key stutters out as he was only about a foot away from the portal now. "This has only happend one other time. And I'm sure at the rate you have been studying you would know who this was...Don't you Key?" God questioned as he took a step torwards Key.
"Y-Yes sir. That was Lucifer sir." Key said, as goosebumps formed on his skin. God cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to inform you that we can not have another case like that." Tears formed in Keys eyes as he realized what God was implying. "But God I would nev-" Keys sentence was cut short as the back of Gods hand found Keys face. The only amount of force that could send someone from heaven straight to Hell. Angels didn't feel pain, but apparently all the rules were out the window as the hand made contact with Keys face. It felt like every bone and nerve in Keys face had just been broken and popped. The force sending Key flying back through the hole. Key reaching out for anything, anything at all that could pull him back in. But nothing was there, the force of the slap had sent Key flying down at such a high speed that he was half way through earth by the time he rememberd he had wings.
He quickly opened them to there full length. Trying his hardest to fly back torwards the light and away from the cloudy smoky place called earth that he had been only a mear 70 years ago, and trying to fly even harder away from the place that held his eternal doom. The wings only slowing him down a bit, he watched as his feathers started to slowly fall off. Floating up torwards heaven gracefully. He could see the blonde hair that every angel got when they enterd heaven start to turn to his original black. Keys heart was pumping so fast.
And he decided, He was not going to Hell. And that was finnal. He flapped his wings as hard as he could, looking back he saw hell coming closer and closer. The dreaded black hole in earth that wanted to send him to their firey clutches. He was to late though. He saw the darkness of hell starting to surround him. He could feel the heat of hell, he could hear the screams of tortured people, he could smell the remaining feathers of his wings starting to burn off. "Noooooo!!!!" Key yelled as he realized This was his last chance. He used all his might, all his strength. Every single ounce of energy he had left in his body to flap his wings and catapult his body out of the black hole he was falling into. It was working, it was actually working he could see the day light from earth slowly coming back into view. "Yes! YES!" Key called out as the last bit of his wings was burned off his back. He gripped the edge of the earth using the last bit of strength he had left in his arms to pull him out. He was laying right beside the hole of hell. His chest heaving up and down, while he tryed to regain his breath. he turned his head to the side as he watched the black hole slowly close up beside him. Knowing full well that everyone is expecting him to be in it at this moment. A small smile graced Keys face. "You can't get rid of me that easily." he said to no one in particular. Then it all when black.

"Onew, God would like to see you." Onew glanced up at Michael who was standing in his doorway with a nervous expression on his face. "Is something wrong?" Onew asked standing up from his chair and walking towards the other man. He shook his head in agreement, "There has been a situation that needs attending to. Follow me." they made there way to the well known room. God was sitting in his chair seemingly in deep thought. When he noticed the men walking in he immediately stood. "Good your here." God said gesturing for Onew to come closer. "There has been an incident and you being the second best arch angel I thought you would be the one to handle it." Onew bowed, "It would be an honor to assist you. What seems to be the problem?" God looked to the floor, "I had to send Key to hell. He was growing at to fast of a rate. And we couldn't have other incident. We just couldn't..." Onews eyes grew wide. Key. Onew had heard about Key, and had even seen him in the halls around. He was always studying and helping the younger angels. He had gotten his wings in record time. He was extraordinary. But why... "Do not question my movements Onew. I know that look upon your face." Onew immediately wiped the expression he didn't know he was making off his face and bowed in apology. "I'm sorry God. But if you sent him to hell, why would you need my help." An expression of anger crossed over Gods face before he spoke. "He didn't make it. He somehow escaped before the hole to hell closed." Onews mouth fell open. Never in his life in heaven has he ever heard of someone escaping Hell. It was truly a wonder, you would have to be so strong to do such a thing, Onew didn't even know that was possible. "He is now roaming around earth somewhere. I demand you send him the rest of the way." Onews nerves starting to peek now, "How do I do this God?" Even though Onew was an arch angel. He hasn't ever gotten a task like this one. "I will send you to earth with this. Michael please bring me the dagger." The other man that Onew had forgotten was even in the room walked towards them as he pulled a glowing gold dagger out of the satchel hanging to his side. God carefully placed it into Onews hand. It was as light as a feather. It illuminated the skin that it touched in gold. It was truly beautiful. Onew was awestruck as he stared at the small knife. "You must drive this through his heart, the blood that mixes with the knife will fall to the ground and open the hole to hell. Then all you must do is push him in. The hole should close in a matter of seconds." Reality coming back to him. 'I have to stab him..I have to get close enough to stab him. And then push him into hell........I. Don't know if... If I can do this.'
"Onew you must be strong. I would never ask this of someone if they couldn't do it. Now Michael will get you set up with earth clothes, money, and a cellphone. Because it would look suspicious if you were talking to thin air. We don't want you going to a looney bin before we get this settled. But in all seriousness when I send you to earth, you will be able to have all earthly characteristics, you will be able to feel pain and even be able to fall in love. So you can't get sidetracked, it is imperative. Do you understand Onew?" God asked looking Onew straight into the eyes. Onew took a deep breath. And with a shaky voice said, "Y-yes God."

It had been a few days since Key escaped from hell. He quickly realized that it took a lot to survive on earth, he hadn't been there in 70 years. He knew he needed shelter, money, and ...clothes. Since the heat of hell burnt whatever heavenly fabric that was on his body. He promptly took the clothes off of a hobo that was passed out drunk. The only lucky thing that happend to key was that the passage of hell was right outside of Seoul. He was Korean and had been to Seoul a number of times when he was on earth. So he knew where he was going. After his stomach started to ache from being empty around the second day he realized he needed to get a job for money. Key the amazing angel turned fallen angel is now a balloon seller on the streets of Seoul. It was a good job since they didn't ask for a background check and he got paid by the day. Key knew God was going to send someone for him. But what could he do? He couldn't run, he would die from starvation. Then he would be going to hell anyways.
Onew arrived to earth about the same time key had gotten his job. God had sent him to Seoul because that was where the passage was and he couldn't have gotten far. But to Onews bad luck he had to actually look. Since Key was no longer an angel and technically wasn't a human God had no sure way of finding out where he was. So Onew got to look on foot. But the only thing that was in Onews favor was that Key probably didn't remember what he looked like especially since God turned his hair to midnight black so he would blend in more with the Korean people.
The plan was for Onew to find out where Key was and then befriend him so he could get him alone...and you know what comes next. Obviously Onew couldn't just stab someone in the middle of the streets and open the portal to Hell. That would be crazy.
Onew had been on earth for about a week now, it was a Sunday. And the sun was shining bright people were just getting out of church and taking there children to have brunch or go play in the park. Onew was walking through one of those said parks. The trees were green, the air was crisp, there was laughter in the air. Onew was pulled out of his thoughts by a little kid crying and screaming to his Mom. "Mom! Please!! I wanna-a b-balllloooooooon!!!" he was tugging on his mothers nice church clothes. Her face getting angrier by the second. All of a sudden a sweet voice cut into the screaming "Don't worry it's on the house." the little boy was promptly given a cherry red balloon. That's when Onews senses turned on. That voice it sounded so familier. He squinted trying to see the person from the distance he was at. Sharp eyes, sweet voice, it was Key. Onew was taken a back by the now fallen angel that stood in front of him. His once bleach hair was now just as dark as the black hair that sat atop his own head. And his wings, they were gone. Onew thought about how painful that must have been. He was Clothes that looked like they had been bought from a thrift store for three dollars. A dark black shirt and pants that must have been the only ones left cause they were so tight. But they still looked good they hugged him in all the right place. Pants like that weren't allowed in heaven... Onew shook his head. These were the kind of thoughts and feelings he wasn't suppose to be having. He just needed to get the job done.
Erasing the thought of the tight pants from his mind. He swiftly walked over to the baloon cart Key was standing by. "Hello." Onew said, trying to get the others attention who was looking through a bag hanging by his side. Key looked up surprised. He usually only got little kids as his costumers. "uh-uh hello." Key replied back . Staring at the others face in thought. He had a feeling like he knew him but he just couldn't put his finger on it. Onew felt the gaze getting to ready to just jolt. But no. He had to get this done. "I w-would like a balloon please." Onew half stuttered out, the nerves starting to build, he had barly felt any emotion in so long it was starting to mess with his head. "Okay what color?" Key asked this time with a smile. This made Onew get a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He just blew it off that he was hungry and looked up at the variety of colors. "G-green please." Key swiftly un looped it from the others and took Onews hand taking his middle finger and tying the string attached to the balloon in a bow around it. Onew taken aback by the sudden touch. It was weird it he had a tingling sensations on his hand. For some reason his face started feeling hot. Onew was confused so he looked away. "S-sorry. I usually do that to the little kids so they won't lose it. I guess I could have just handed it to you." Key said rubbing the back of his neck.
Onew looked up feeling bad that he made Key apologize. "No no its okay. H-how much do I owe you?" Onew asked forgetting that he had to pay for it till now. "oh it's alright you don't have to pay for it." Key said trying to make up for the awkward situation. Suddenly An idea struck Onew. "Well how about I can take you to lunch and we can call it even?" Onew said with new found confidence. Keys eyes widened at the sudden question, "u-uhm the balloon is only a dollar twenty five. I couldn't possibly..." Onew feeling rejected shook his head, but then remembered he was in this situation for one reason only. To send Key to Hell. He had to get close to him. So he shook off the rejection and put on his million dollar smile. "I insist. It's no problem." Key held his mouth open, not really knowing what to say. But ended up just shaking his head yes in a shy manor. "I-I go on break in 10 minutes." Onew smiled again, "Great, meet me over there at TGI Fridays in ten... Oh uhm what's your name? Sorry your not wearing a name tag." Ofcourse Onew knew his name. But he had to pretend like he didn't know the man. Keys face went red, "M-my name is Key..uhm Kibum!" Key quickly corrected before he slipped up. If Onew rememeberd correctly that was Keys name before he entered heaven. He obviously knew someone was looking for him if he wasn't using his heaven name. "That's a nice name. Mine name is Jinki." Onew said, also using his once earthly name. Even though Key didn't remember what he looked like he would instantly recognize his name. "Well Jinki I'll meet you over there in ten minutes" Key said with a smile, now more comfortable that they had exchanged name and he wasn't about to have lunch with a total stranger. Even though that wasn't even the case. As Onew walked away an overwhelming feeling of guilt washed over him. Why did it have to be Key. He is just so...perfect.
--
Over the course of the next few weeks Onew had gone according plan. He had become close to Key. After lunch the first day they both realized they were extraordinarily comfortable around each other. So they had lunch or dinner every day. Onew had learned so much about Key. His favorite color was red, he loved reading and learning new things, his favorite food was macaroni and cheese even though he didn't particularly love the texture of macaroni but he loved the cheese so he handled it, his favorite animal was raccoons, he liked shopping but he hasn't gone in a while. Facts like that particular one are the ones that make Onew realize that he had to eventually send Key back to Hell. He wasn't getting to attached and he knew it. There was a feeling inside him that wouldn't go away though. Onew didn't really know what to make of it. On this day they had agreed to go have ice cream. As they sat there licking away at their ice cream a particular question was bugging Onew. Finnaly he turned to Key and asked "Where do you live anyways?" Key looked up surprised. "Oh uhm I live in an apartment downtown." Key had rented it a few days after he got his job. It was really cheap. The interior obviously shows why."Oh really? Can I see it sometime?" Keys face turned red, a shade Onew was getting use to seeing on the younger boys face. It made Onew smile. "It's really not that great. It's kind of worn down..." Onew shook his head, "I don't mind. We can have a movie night or something! I'll bring my DVD player." Onew said even though he didn't even own a DVD player. He would go buy one with the endless amount of money that God had given to him. "O-okay, if you really want to." Key said with a small smile, Onew smiled back actually excited about a movie night, when his phone rang. Obviously there would only be one person calling. "Oh, uhm I have to get this. I'll be right back okay." Onew said rushing off and flipping open his phone. "Hello?" Onew said into the phone.
"Hello Onew. How is everything going? Have you found him yet?" God asked.
"Yes I have." Onew said glancing over at Key who was happily licking his strawberry ice cream. The guilt starting to build again.
"Wonderful. I knew you could do it. Have you started to get close to him?"
"Just a little bit." Onew lied, confusing himself as to why he just did so.
"Okay, just remember the first chance you get to be alone with him that's not a public place you need to do this. We can't have a fallen angel wandering around earth. I want this over with quick." God said he voice becoming stern.
"Yes sir I understand" Onew said his stomach beginning to hurt from anxiety. He was still trying the get use to all these emotions again.
"I'm giving you one more week. Or I'll send someone else. Got it?" God said he voice getting more and more intimidating.
"G-got it." Onew said his stomach now beginning to twist into knots.
Then the line went dead.
He shut the phone and slid it back into his bag. Taking deep breaths to try and compose himself. He didn't know how to feel. Everything is out of wack in his brain he didn't know if he was upset about only having a week left to do the job, or a week left to spend time with Key. Or that If God sent someone else he would be mad that he didn't get the job done or that someone else had to get close to Key... In order to send him to hell. Send Key to Hell. He had to send Key to Hell or else God would forever see him as a failure. But why Key? He is so perfect. Smart, nice, loving, beautiful. Everything. Why did God have to do this? Why did God have to pick him for this? He has to stab Key to send him to hell. Stab a person that wouldn't even hurt a fly. None of this makes sense. Onew knew he had gotten in to deep.... But he had to do it...right?
He hadn't even realized when he started to hyperventilate, or when Key had come over frantic asking what was wrong and why he was so pale, or when he sat him down on the bench, or when he started rubbing soothing circles on his back, or even when he finally passed out.
--
When Onew finnaly woke up he was in a cramped apartment, his vision was still a bit blurry from sleep but he could feel the springs of an old bed digging into his back and he could smell a musky scent of old furniture. Then he heard light snoring; he looked over to find Key had fallen asleep on an old chair, his head propped up on his hand. He looked so peaceful, but Onew had to go to the bathroom. So he tried his hardest to not let the springs squeak on the old bed. But by the first move of his leg the bed let out a loud creak, successfully waking up Key in the process.
The other jumped, opening his eyes wide. "Jinki! Your awake!" Key said standing up and walking over to Onew. "Are you okay? How do you feel? You probably shouldn't move. You might fall down! Don't move I'll go get you something to drink-." but before Key could move into the small kitchen Onew gripped his wrist lightly, stopping the other from moving. The same blush coming back to his cheeks. "I feel fine. I just had to go to the bathroom. Calm down. How did I get here?" Key took a deep breath trying to calm down. "Some people saw when you passed out and paid for a cab to my apartment.. Since I didn't know where you lived, I just brought you here. Sorry..." Onew smiled at the cute apology. "You don't have to apologize. Thank you for taking care of me. I really appreciate it." Onew said sliding the hand that was on Keys wrist to his hand. Making the others face turn crimson. Onew didn't really know what possessed him to do just that. It just felt right. Keys hands were soft but were becoming sweaty by the second. "I-it's no problem. I'm j-just glad your awake. You w-were passed out for almost a day. I-it really scared me."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Onew said, letting go of Keys hand and standing up. Key took a step back, trying to get air back in his lungs. "I-it's alright. Why don't I get you that drink now." Key said turning towards the kitchen. Leaving Onew with a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Onew felt like he was missing something though. But he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He patted down the pants of his pocket. Then realized he didn't have his bag strung around his chest. He widened his eyes looking around the room. That bag not only had his phone in it but had the dagger he was suppose to use. The dagger that opens the portal to Hell. If he lost that...well he'd probably be the next one on his way to Hell.
Key was walking back into the room with a glass of water when he noticed the distressed look on the others face, "What's wrong?" Key asked.
"Uhm, my bag? Do you know where it is?" Onew said trying to not sound so anxious. A look went over Keys face. It was an emotion he hadn't seen on the boy before. "Oh uhm, it's over there in the corner." Key said pointing to the farthest corner from the bed." Onew took a deep breath, at least he knew where it was. "oh okay. I just wanted to make sure I had it. " The same expression crossed Keys face again. "what's wrong?" This time it was Onew asking. Key looked up in surprise, "Oh nothing. D-do you want to watch Tv?" Key said walking over to the two seated couch and sitting down in front of an old run down television that only had about ten channels. Even though Onew found it weird that Key had changed the subject so quickly he willingly walked over to the couch and sat down beside Key, their knees just barley brushing.
They sat there for the next few hours just watching whatever happend to be on and somehow drifted closer to one another. Their arms were flush against each others, their legs almost mingling together. It was peaceful and comfortable. No bad thought was in Onews mind, not heaven, not hell. Nothing.
When all of a sudden Key took the remote and turned off the television. Onew looked over at Key with confusion in his eyes. "what's going on?" Onew asked. Key turned to him with tears in his eyes. "Key are you alright?? What's wrong?" Onew asked putting a hand on Keys arm. "...I can't take this anymore..." Onew was beyond confused as to what Key was referring. "what, what are you talking about?" Onew asked his voice growing quiet.
"I'm going to do something Jinki because this is the only chance I'm going to get okay?" Onews blood started to pump faster, his palms started to sweat. "o-okay.." Key shook his head, and started to lean in closer. Onew could feel Keys breath on his face. Onews own breath was caught in the back of his throat, the jittery feeling he always got in the pit of his stomach was now back but times a hundred. Finally Key leaned all the way in placing his lips gently on Onews. Onew was still for a second, this was wrong. He was an angel. Angels weren't suppose to be doing this, then Onew thought about it, he already knew he had gotten in to deep. And he finally realized what the feelings he had gotten were, what all the tingling sensation whenever Key would touch him were, how comfortable he was when he was with Key and how he can make him forget the reason he even started to befriend him were. He was in love with Key. Onew the angel had fallen in love with Key, the fallen angel of heaven. The Angel that had escaped from Hell. The angel he was... Suppose to send back to Hell. Onew knew he had broken all the rules, so why not break some more.
He leaned into Key. Their lips now flush against each others. He could feel the surprise in the way Key jumped a little. They started moving there lips on each others. Hands grabbing onto what they could find, hair, hip, neck, thigh. The Kiss grew more passionate. Onew has never felt this good about something so wrong. He could feel Keys heartbeat on his own. He could taste the saltiness of Keys tears mingling with their saliva, he could feel the hiccups in his chest as he continued to cry. Finally Key pulled away. Leaving Onew in a daze. Key looked down to the couch. Tears still freely falling. His chest heaving up and down. "I'm ready." Onew looked to Key, still on a high from the kiss. "W-what are you talking about?" Onew asked confusion in his voice. Key looked up, he was deathly pale. "What's wrong? Ready for what?" Onew asked starting to get anxious as to what Key was referring to. That's when Key stood up. Onew watched as Key made his way over to the corner where Onews bag was laying. Onews eyes grew wide as Key picked his bag up and walked back over to the couch sitting back beside Onew with his bag in his lap. "W-wha-" Onew tried to ask but was cut off by Key. "I felt like I had seen you before ya know... When you first came to my balloon stand..." Onews brain felt like it was going to explode. "...but I just blew it off as being paranoid." Key said as he un buckled the bag sitting in his lap, notch by notch, but didn't open it yet. "When you passed out that day and I had to carry you into my apartment. Your bag dropped in the process." Tears started to fill Onews eyes. "When I bent down to pick up your stuff that had fallen out, I saw it... I touched it...that's when I knew your name wasn't really Jinki. I remember stuff really well. But you would know that wouldn't you Onew?" Key said looking up into Onews eyes. Onew had grown pale, silent tears were dripping out of his eyes. All he did was shake his head. Fresh tears started to fall out of Keys eyes. "I knew someone was going to be looking for me. I knew I was going to have to go back to Hell. I knew. I just didn't know I was going to fall in love with the person that did it." Key said covering his face. Onews mouth had fallen open, Key just admitted he was in love with him. It's funny that he cared more about that statement then he did about Key figuring out he was here to send him to Hell.
Before Onew could say how he felt, Key wiped away his tears and opened the bag pulling out the golden dagger. He took Onews hand and placed the dagger in it. "I'm ready." Key repeated the statement from earlier. Onew gripped the golden dagger, and watched as it glowed in his hand. Key had closed his eyes by this point. Taking deep breaths to stop him from crying anymore. "Do it." Key said. His voice more stern. Key knew how the dagger worked. He had read about it when he first entered heaven, but he never knew it was going to be used on him one day...
Onew gripped the dagger harder his hand was beginning to shake. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to do this. . . But he had to, he knew he had to . He slowly brought the dagger up to Keys heart. He could hear Keys breath get caught in his throat. He shook his head trying to get all thoughts of loving Key out of his mind. He started pressing harder. Just when he was about to break skin, That's when he broke. He dropped the dagger on the old wooden floor, it landed with a loud clank. The sound echoing in the silent apartment. Before Key could open his eyes Onew leaned in Kissing him deep. Kissing him with all the passion he could muster out of his body. He pulled away. Tears falling like a water fall out of his eyes. His body was shaking from how intense the tears were. He just sat back and put his face in his hands while he cried. "I can't do it Key. I can't."
"But you have to Onew. You can't fail God." Key said picking up the dagger from the floor. Onew looked up at Key with fire in his eyes, "I don't have to do anything!" Onew about yelled. As he took the dagger from Keys hand and threw it as hard as he could. It ended up just sticking into the wall by the bed. Keys eyes grew wide at the sudden out burst. "I'm sick of Gods little games! He had no right to send you to Hell in the first place! Now if I don't want to send the person I love to Hell then I'm not going to! Id rather be on the run for the rest of my life with the person I love then sit in heaven doing Gods commands. I just want to be with you Key. I'm never wanted anything more in my whole existence." Keys eyes started to water, "D-do you really mean that Onew? You'd be giving up everything you worked so hard for..." Onew looked into Keys eyes with the most serious look, "I'm positive." Key wrapped his arms around Onew, breathing in his scent. "I love you." Key whispers into Onews ear. "I love you too Key. I love you so much."
--
The next day they both took a cab to the docks, They stood there looking out at the sea. Onew turned to Key." Are you ready?" Key smiled. "Yes." Onew unbuckled the latch on his bag and took out his cellphone and dialed the only number in it.
"Onew. Have you done it?" Were Gods first words when he answerd the phone.
"No God, I'm not going to do it." Onew said.
"Well I guess your coming back to heaven then... I really thought you could do this, I guess I was wrong." God said in a disappointed voice.
"I'm not coming back to Heaven ether." God didn't say anything. All he did was sigh.
"You know what this means don't you?" God asked.
"Yes. I do." Onew said and hung up the phone.
"Would you do the honor?" Onew asked as he handed the phone to Key.
"I'd be glad to." Key said as he threw the phone as hard as he could into the ocean.
Onew then took out the dagger and threw it even farther. Never to see it again. Gone.
"Guess we better get going. He should be sending Jonghyun in the next day." Onew smiled at Key, and Key at Onew as they interlaced their fingers. And started to walk to the cab that would then take them to the airport, to fly to wherever they decided to go. All they knew is that they would be together where ever it was.

Prompt Used: Ulala Session - Beautiful Night
"His power and skills are rising so fast, it's extraordinary. Iv never seen this before. He has only been here 70 years and he already has his wings, plus his skills are already on the level of Angels that have been here 500 years. It makes no sense God? If he keeps on like he is we will have a problem soon. Iv only seen one other time like this, and well....you know how that turned out..." God could only shake his head in agreement at his right hand mans statement. It only happened one other time that someone has grown at this rate.
Lucifer.
He thought he was so strong, he thought he was more powerfull than God. He tried to over take Gods position. Or at least that was his plan. But God is God and that is impossible. So he struck him to the under world , forever to stay and watch over the evil people of the world who have died. Forever to stay in the fiery heat of Hell.
God knew what he had to do. Before it was to late. "Michael, please go get Key. But before you do please open the portal." God said while looking down, the bright white floors looking back at him. God did not want to do what he was about to do. But he couldn't risk the chance of another angel trying to over throw him. He knew Key didn't have any thoughts of such. But nether did Lucifer at the beginning.
Reality coming back as he heard the swoosh of the portal opening. The only portal to earth and hell. Guess which one Key was heading too? It was a straight shot to hell from the portal in heaven. It lined up perfectly, when the portal to heaven opened so did the one to hell. You just had to go through earth to get there.
--
Michael walked down the hallways of the school section of heaven, thousands of hallways to thousands of rooms, to learn anything. Any language, any culture, any subject. It wasn't required for angels to learn everything. But if you ever wanted to achieve a higher rank you defiantly had to try. And Key was well on his way. Thought making Michael sigh at the fate he was about to send Key to.
He finally reaches the room Key was in. He was sitting at the table helping a younger angel with bio genetics, the younger just beginning to get the feathers of his wings. While Key sitting beside him had fully grown wings, millions of bleach white feathers. Each wing probably over 15 feet when he stretched them out to fly. Yours wings show everything, every skill you have learned, every good deed you've ever done, he is probably going to get one soon for helping the younger angel with his studies. But you can't get a feather for just any good deed, because there are always those new angel that are getting their one and only second chance. If the intentions arnt pure you will not recive anything.
"Key, you are summoned to the main office." Key looked up at the sudden interruption, his face twisting into one of confusion. 'Why would God want to see me?' Key thought. "Am I in trouble?" Key said with a good hearted smile. Michael swallowed an audible gulp. And didn't respond to Key. He just looked him in the eyes with apology. The color drained from Keys face. As he realized something was wrong. He slowly closed the book that was open in front of him, "We'll pick up where we left off later okay Taemin?" Taemin shook his head with out saying a word, as the new aura of the room evolved into something grim. Key slid his chair back, standing up and walking torwards Michael. With out another word they exited the room and started to walk back through the maze of hallways Key had grown so familiar with. He reached his hand out letting his hand glide against the pristine walls. A feeling growing inside him that he might not ever touch them again. 'What could I have done? I have done nothing but study and Do good deeds? What is this? Why?...' Keys thoughts continued on doubting and questioning till they reached the main office. The office that God himself stood in.
Michael slowly turned the door knob. Key was met with the site of God sitting in his plush white chair, seemingly in deep thought. "I have brought Key sir." Michael stated as he motioned for Key to walk in. "Thank you, you can go now." God said, his deep voice ringing in the quiet room. The door was swiftly shut behind Key, leaving the two alone in the room. Key gulped, trying to bring saliva to his mouth, but not succeeding. His throat was as dry as the desert. "Please come over here." God said as he stood up from his chair. Key cautiously walked towards him. Only now noticing the open portal. His eyes growing wide at the site. "You have learned and grown at an extraordinarily fast pace. Faster then any one I have ever seen. It is truly amazing." God said while looking at Key, watching as he took slow steps. Getting closer and closer to the portal. "Thank you God. T-that means a lot." Key stutters out as he was only about a foot away from the portal now. "This has only happend one other time. And I'm sure at the rate you have been studying you would know who this was...Don't you Key?" God questioned as he took a step torwards Key.
"Y-Yes sir. That was Lucifer sir." Key said, as goosebumps formed on his skin. God cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to inform you that we can not have another case like that." Tears formed in Keys eyes as he realized what God was implying. "But God I would nev-" Keys sentence was cut short as the back of Gods hand found Keys face. The only amount of force that could send someone from heaven straight to Hell. Angels didn't feel pain, but apparently all the rules were out the window as the hand made contact with Keys face. It felt like every bone and nerve in Keys face had just been broken and popped. The force sending Key flying back through the hole. Key reaching out for anything, anything at all that could pull him back in. But nothing was there, the force of the slap had sent Key flying down at such a high speed that he was half way through earth by the time he rememberd he had wings.
He quickly opened them to there full length. Trying his hardest to fly back torwards the light and away from the cloudy smoky place called earth that he had been only a mear 70 years ago, and trying to fly even harder away from the place that held his eternal doom. The wings only slowing him down a bit, he watched as his feathers started to slowly fall off. Floating up torwards heaven gracefully. He could see the blonde hair that every angel got when they enterd heaven start to turn to his original black. Keys heart was pumping so fast.
And he decided, He was not going to Hell. And that was finnal. He flapped his wings as hard as he could, looking back he saw hell coming closer and closer. The dreaded black hole in earth that wanted to send him to their firey clutches. He was to late though. He saw the darkness of hell starting to surround him. He could feel the heat of hell, he could hear the screams of tortured people, he could smell the remaining feathers of his wings starting to burn off. "Noooooo!!!!" Key yelled as he realized This was his last chance. He used all his might, all his strength. Every single ounce of energy he had left in his body to flap his wings and catapult his body out of the black hole he was falling into. It was working, it was actually working he could see the day light from earth slowly coming back into view. "Yes! YES!" Key called out as the last bit of his wings was burned off his back. He gripped the edge of the earth using the last bit of strength he had left in his arms to pull him out. He was laying right beside the hole of hell. His chest heaving up and down, while he tryed to regain his breath. he turned his head to the side as he watched the black hole slowly close up beside him. Knowing full well that everyone is expecting him to be in it at this moment. A small smile graced Keys face. "You can't get rid of me that easily." he said to no one in particular. Then it all when black.

"Onew, God would like to see you." Onew glanced up at Michael who was standing in his doorway with a nervous expression on his face. "Is something wrong?" Onew asked standing up from his chair and walking towards the other man. He shook his head in agreement, "There has been a situation that needs attending to. Follow me." they made there way to the well known room. God was sitting in his chair seemingly in deep thought. When he noticed the men walking in he immediately stood. "Good your here." God said gesturing for Onew to come closer. "There has been an incident and you being the second best arch angel I thought you would be the one to handle it." Onew bowed, "It would be an honor to assist you. What seems to be the problem?" God looked to the floor, "I had to send Key to hell. He was growing at to fast of a rate. And we couldn't have other incident. We just couldn't..." Onews eyes grew wide. Key. Onew had heard about Key, and had even seen him in the halls around. He was always studying and helping the younger angels. He had gotten his wings in record time. He was extraordinary. But why... "Do not question my movements Onew. I know that look upon your face." Onew immediately wiped the expression he didn't know he was making off his face and bowed in apology. "I'm sorry God. But if you sent him to hell, why would you need my help." An expression of anger crossed over Gods face before he spoke. "He didn't make it. He somehow escaped before the hole to hell closed." Onews mouth fell open. Never in his life in heaven has he ever heard of someone escaping Hell. It was truly a wonder, you would have to be so strong to do such a thing, Onew didn't even know that was possible. "He is now roaming around earth somewhere. I demand you send him the rest of the way." Onews nerves starting to peek now, "How do I do this God?" Even though Onew was an arch angel. He hasn't ever gotten a task like this one. "I will send you to earth with this. Michael please bring me the dagger." The other man that Onew had forgotten was even in the room walked towards them as he pulled a glowing gold dagger out of the satchel hanging to his side. God carefully placed it into Onews hand. It was as light as a feather. It illuminated the skin that it touched in gold. It was truly beautiful. Onew was awestruck as he stared at the small knife. "You must drive this through his heart, the blood that mixes with the knife will fall to the ground and open the hole to hell. Then all you must do is push him in. The hole should close in a matter of seconds." Reality coming back to him. 'I have to stab him..I have to get close enough to stab him. And then push him into hell........I. Don't know if... If I can do this.'
"Onew you must be strong. I would never ask this of someone if they couldn't do it. Now Michael will get you set up with earth clothes, money, and a cellphone. Because it would look suspicious if you were talking to thin air. We don't want you going to a looney bin before we get this settled. But in all seriousness when I send you to earth, you will be able to have all earthly characteristics, you will be able to feel pain and even be able to fall in love. So you can't get sidetracked, it is imperative. Do you understand Onew?" God asked looking Onew straight into the eyes. Onew took a deep breath. And with a shaky voice said, "Y-yes God."

It had been a few days since Key escaped from hell. He quickly realized that it took a lot to survive on earth, he hadn't been there in 70 years. He knew he needed shelter, money, and ...clothes. Since the heat of hell burnt whatever heavenly fabric that was on his body. He promptly took the clothes off of a hobo that was passed out drunk. The only lucky thing that happend to key was that the passage of hell was right outside of Seoul. He was Korean and had been to Seoul a number of times when he was on earth. So he knew where he was going. After his stomach started to ache from being empty around the second day he realized he needed to get a job for money. Key the amazing angel turned fallen angel is now a balloon seller on the streets of Seoul. It was a good job since they didn't ask for a background check and he got paid by the day. Key knew God was going to send someone for him. But what could he do? He couldn't run, he would die from starvation. Then he would be going to hell anyways.
Onew arrived to earth about the same time key had gotten his job. God had sent him to Seoul because that was where the passage was and he couldn't have gotten far. But to Onews bad luck he had to actually look. Since Key was no longer an angel and technically wasn't a human God had no sure way of finding out where he was. So Onew got to look on foot. But the only thing that was in Onews favor was that Key probably didn't remember what he looked like especially since God turned his hair to midnight black so he would blend in more with the Korean people.
The plan was for Onew to find out where Key was and then befriend him so he could get him alone...and you know what comes next. Obviously Onew couldn't just stab someone in the middle of the streets and open the portal to Hell. That would be crazy.
Onew had been on earth for about a week now, it was a Sunday. And the sun was shining bright people were just getting out of church and taking there children to have brunch or go play in the park. Onew was walking through one of those said parks. The trees were green, the air was crisp, there was laughter in the air. Onew was pulled out of his thoughts by a little kid crying and screaming to his Mom. "Mom! Please!! I wanna-a b-balllloooooooon!!!" he was tugging on his mothers nice church clothes. Her face getting angrier by the second. All of a sudden a sweet voice cut into the screaming "Don't worry it's on the house." the little boy was promptly given a cherry red balloon. That's when Onews senses turned on. That voice it sounded so familier. He squinted trying to see the person from the distance he was at. Sharp eyes, sweet voice, it was Key. Onew was taken a back by the now fallen angel that stood in front of him. His once bleach hair was now just as dark as the black hair that sat atop his own head. And his wings, they were gone. Onew thought about how painful that must have been. He was Clothes that looked like they had been bought from a thrift store for three dollars. A dark black shirt and pants that must have been the only ones left cause they were so tight. But they still looked good they hugged him in all the right place. Pants like that weren't allowed in heaven... Onew shook his head. These were the kind of thoughts and feelings he wasn't suppose to be having. He just needed to get the job done.
Erasing the thought of the tight pants from his mind. He swiftly walked over to the baloon cart Key was standing by. "Hello." Onew said, trying to get the others attention who was looking through a bag hanging by his side. Key looked up surprised. He usually only got little kids as his costumers. "uh-uh hello." Key replied back . Staring at the others face in thought. He had a feeling like he knew him but he just couldn't put his finger on it. Onew felt the gaze getting to ready to just jolt. But no. He had to get this done. "I w-would like a balloon please." Onew half stuttered out, the nerves starting to build, he had barly felt any emotion in so long it was starting to mess with his head. "Okay what color?" Key asked this time with a smile. This made Onew get a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He just blew it off that he was hungry and looked up at the variety of colors. "G-green please." Key swiftly un looped it from the others and took Onews hand taking his middle finger and tying the string attached to the balloon in a bow around it. Onew taken aback by the sudden touch. It was weird it he had a tingling sensations on his hand. For some reason his face started feeling hot. Onew was confused so he looked away. "S-sorry. I usually do that to the little kids so they won't lose it. I guess I could have just handed it to you." Key said rubbing the back of his neck.
Onew looked up feeling bad that he made Key apologize. "No no its okay. H-how much do I owe you?" Onew asked forgetting that he had to pay for it till now. "oh it's alright you don't have to pay for it." Key said trying to make up for the awkward situation. Suddenly An idea struck Onew. "Well how about I can take you to lunch and we can call it even?" Onew said with new found confidence. Keys eyes widened at the sudden question, "u-uhm the balloon is only a dollar twenty five. I couldn't possibly..." Onew feeling rejected shook his head, but then remembered he was in this situation for one reason only. To send Key to Hell. He had to get close to him. So he shook off the rejection and put on his million dollar smile. "I insist. It's no problem." Key held his mouth open, not really knowing what to say. But ended up just shaking his head yes in a shy manor. "I-I go on break in 10 minutes." Onew smiled again, "Great, meet me over there at TGI Fridays in ten... Oh uhm what's your name? Sorry your not wearing a name tag." Ofcourse Onew knew his name. But he had to pretend like he didn't know the man. Keys face went red, "M-my name is Key..uhm Kibum!" Key quickly corrected before he slipped up. If Onew rememeberd correctly that was Keys name before he entered heaven. He obviously knew someone was looking for him if he wasn't using his heaven name. "That's a nice name. Mine name is Jinki." Onew said, also using his once earthly name. Even though Key didn't remember what he looked like he would instantly recognize his name. "Well Jinki I'll meet you over there in ten minutes" Key said with a smile, now more comfortable that they had exchanged name and he wasn't about to have lunch with a total stranger. Even though that wasn't even the case. As Onew walked away an overwhelming feeling of guilt washed over him. Why did it have to be Key. He is just so...perfect.
--
Over the course of the next few weeks Onew had gone according plan. He had become close to Key. After lunch the first day they both realized they were extraordinarily comfortable around each other. So they had lunch or dinner every day. Onew had learned so much about Key. His favorite color was red, he loved reading and learning new things, his favorite food was macaroni and cheese even though he didn't particularly love the texture of macaroni but he loved the cheese so he handled it, his favorite animal was raccoons, he liked shopping but he hasn't gone in a while. Facts like that particular one are the ones that make Onew realize that he had to eventually send Key back to Hell. He wasn't getting to attached and he knew it. There was a feeling inside him that wouldn't go away though. Onew didn't really know what to make of it. On this day they had agreed to go have ice cream. As they sat there licking away at their ice cream a particular question was bugging Onew. Finnaly he turned to Key and asked "Where do you live anyways?" Key looked up surprised. "Oh uhm I live in an apartment downtown." Key had rented it a few days after he got his job. It was really cheap. The interior obviously shows why."Oh really? Can I see it sometime?" Keys face turned red, a shade Onew was getting use to seeing on the younger boys face. It made Onew smile. "It's really not that great. It's kind of worn down..." Onew shook his head, "I don't mind. We can have a movie night or something! I'll bring my DVD player." Onew said even though he didn't even own a DVD player. He would go buy one with the endless amount of money that God had given to him. "O-okay, if you really want to." Key said with a small smile, Onew smiled back actually excited about a movie night, when his phone rang. Obviously there would only be one person calling. "Oh, uhm I have to get this. I'll be right back okay." Onew said rushing off and flipping open his phone. "Hello?" Onew said into the phone.
"Hello Onew. How is everything going? Have you found him yet?" God asked.
"Yes I have." Onew said glancing over at Key who was happily licking his strawberry ice cream. The guilt starting to build again.
"Wonderful. I knew you could do it. Have you started to get close to him?"
"Just a little bit." Onew lied, confusing himself as to why he just did so.
"Okay, just remember the first chance you get to be alone with him that's not a public place you need to do this. We can't have a fallen angel wandering around earth. I want this over with quick." God said he voice becoming stern.
"Yes sir I understand" Onew said his stomach beginning to hurt from anxiety. He was still trying the get use to all these emotions again.
"I'm giving you one more week. Or I'll send someone else. Got it?" God said he voice getting more and more intimidating.
"G-got it." Onew said his stomach now beginning to twist into knots.
Then the line went dead.
He shut the phone and slid it back into his bag. Taking deep breaths to try and compose himself. He didn't know how to feel. Everything is out of wack in his brain he didn't know if he was upset about only having a week left to do the job, or a week left to spend time with Key. Or that If God sent someone else he would be mad that he didn't get the job done or that someone else had to get close to Key... In order to send him to hell. Send Key to Hell. He had to send Key to Hell or else God would forever see him as a failure. But why Key? He is so perfect. Smart, nice, loving, beautiful. Everything. Why did God have to do this? Why did God have to pick him for this? He has to stab Key to send him to hell. Stab a person that wouldn't even hurt a fly. None of this makes sense. Onew knew he had gotten in to deep.... But he had to do it...right?
He hadn't even realized when he started to hyperventilate, or when Key had come over frantic asking what was wrong and why he was so pale, or when he sat him down on the bench, or when he started rubbing soothing circles on his back, or even when he finally passed out.
--
When Onew finnaly woke up he was in a cramped apartment, his vision was still a bit blurry from sleep but he could feel the springs of an old bed digging into his back and he could smell a musky scent of old furniture. Then he heard light snoring; he looked over to find Key had fallen asleep on an old chair, his head propped up on his hand. He looked so peaceful, but Onew had to go to the bathroom. So he tried his hardest to not let the springs squeak on the old bed. But by the first move of his leg the bed let out a loud creak, successfully waking up Key in the process.
The other jumped, opening his eyes wide. "Jinki! Your awake!" Key said standing up and walking over to Onew. "Are you okay? How do you feel? You probably shouldn't move. You might fall down! Don't move I'll go get you something to drink-." but before Key could move into the small kitchen Onew gripped his wrist lightly, stopping the other from moving. The same blush coming back to his cheeks. "I feel fine. I just had to go to the bathroom. Calm down. How did I get here?" Key took a deep breath trying to calm down. "Some people saw when you passed out and paid for a cab to my apartment.. Since I didn't know where you lived, I just brought you here. Sorry..." Onew smiled at the cute apology. "You don't have to apologize. Thank you for taking care of me. I really appreciate it." Onew said sliding the hand that was on Keys wrist to his hand. Making the others face turn crimson. Onew didn't really know what possessed him to do just that. It just felt right. Keys hands were soft but were becoming sweaty by the second. "I-it's no problem. I'm j-just glad your awake. You w-were passed out for almost a day. I-it really scared me."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Onew said, letting go of Keys hand and standing up. Key took a step back, trying to get air back in his lungs. "I-it's alright. Why don't I get you that drink now." Key said turning towards the kitchen. Leaving Onew with a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Onew felt like he was missing something though. But he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He patted down the pants of his pocket. Then realized he didn't have his bag strung around his chest. He widened his eyes looking around the room. That bag not only had his phone in it but had the dagger he was suppose to use. The dagger that opens the portal to Hell. If he lost that...well he'd probably be the next one on his way to Hell.
Key was walking back into the room with a glass of water when he noticed the distressed look on the others face, "What's wrong?" Key asked.
"Uhm, my bag? Do you know where it is?" Onew said trying to not sound so anxious. A look went over Keys face. It was an emotion he hadn't seen on the boy before. "Oh uhm, it's over there in the corner." Key said pointing to the farthest corner from the bed." Onew took a deep breath, at least he knew where it was. "oh okay. I just wanted to make sure I had it. " The same expression crossed Keys face again. "what's wrong?" This time it was Onew asking. Key looked up in surprise, "Oh nothing. D-do you want to watch Tv?" Key said walking over to the two seated couch and sitting down in front of an old run down television that only had about ten channels. Even though Onew found it weird that Key had changed the subject so quickly he willingly walked over to the couch and sat down beside Key, their knees just barley brushing.
They sat there for the next few hours just watching whatever happend to be on and somehow drifted closer to one another. Their arms were flush against each others, their legs almost mingling together. It was peaceful and comfortable. No bad thought was in Onews mind, not heaven, not hell. Nothing.
When all of a sudden Key took the remote and turned off the television. Onew looked over at Key with confusion in his eyes. "what's going on?" Onew asked. Key turned to him with tears in his eyes. "Key are you alright?? What's wrong?" Onew asked putting a hand on Keys arm. "...I can't take this anymore..." Onew was beyond confused as to what Key was referring. "what, what are you talking about?" Onew asked his voice growing quiet.
"I'm going to do something Jinki because this is the only chance I'm going to get okay?" Onews blood started to pump faster, his palms started to sweat. "o-okay.." Key shook his head, and started to lean in closer. Onew could feel Keys breath on his face. Onews own breath was caught in the back of his throat, the jittery feeling he always got in the pit of his stomach was now back but times a hundred. Finally Key leaned all the way in placing his lips gently on Onews. Onew was still for a second, this was wrong. He was an angel. Angels weren't suppose to be doing this, then Onew thought about it, he already knew he had gotten in to deep. And he finally realized what the feelings he had gotten were, what all the tingling sensation whenever Key would touch him were, how comfortable he was when he was with Key and how he can make him forget the reason he even started to befriend him were. He was in love with Key. Onew the angel had fallen in love with Key, the fallen angel of heaven. The Angel that had escaped from Hell. The angel he was... Suppose to send back to Hell. Onew knew he had broken all the rules, so why not break some more.
He leaned into Key. Their lips now flush against each others. He could feel the surprise in the way Key jumped a little. They started moving there lips on each others. Hands grabbing onto what they could find, hair, hip, neck, thigh. The Kiss grew more passionate. Onew has never felt this good about something so wrong. He could feel Keys heartbeat on his own. He could taste the saltiness of Keys tears mingling with their saliva, he could feel the hiccups in his chest as he continued to cry. Finally Key pulled away. Leaving Onew in a daze. Key looked down to the couch. Tears still freely falling. His chest heaving up and down. "I'm ready." Onew looked to Key, still on a high from the kiss. "W-what are you talking about?" Onew asked confusion in his voice. Key looked up, he was deathly pale. "What's wrong? Ready for what?" Onew asked starting to get anxious as to what Key was referring to. That's when Key stood up. Onew watched as Key made his way over to the corner where Onews bag was laying. Onews eyes grew wide as Key picked his bag up and walked back over to the couch sitting back beside Onew with his bag in his lap. "W-wha-" Onew tried to ask but was cut off by Key. "I felt like I had seen you before ya know... When you first came to my balloon stand..." Onews brain felt like it was going to explode. "...but I just blew it off as being paranoid." Key said as he un buckled the bag sitting in his lap, notch by notch, but didn't open it yet. "When you passed out that day and I had to carry you into my apartment. Your bag dropped in the process." Tears started to fill Onews eyes. "When I bent down to pick up your stuff that had fallen out, I saw it... I touched it...that's when I knew your name wasn't really Jinki. I remember stuff really well. But you would know that wouldn't you Onew?" Key said looking up into Onews eyes. Onew had grown pale, silent tears were dripping out of his eyes. All he did was shake his head. Fresh tears started to fall out of Keys eyes. "I knew someone was going to be looking for me. I knew I was going to have to go back to Hell. I knew. I just didn't know I was going to fall in love with the person that did it." Key said covering his face. Onews mouth had fallen open, Key just admitted he was in love with him. It's funny that he cared more about that statement then he did about Key figuring out he was here to send him to Hell.
Before Onew could say how he felt, Key wiped away his tears and opened the bag pulling out the golden dagger. He took Onews hand and placed the dagger in it. "I'm ready." Key repeated the statement from earlier. Onew gripped the golden dagger, and watched as it glowed in his hand. Key had closed his eyes by this point. Taking deep breaths to stop him from crying anymore. "Do it." Key said. His voice more stern. Key knew how the dagger worked. He had read about it when he first entered heaven, but he never knew it was going to be used on him one day...
Onew gripped the dagger harder his hand was beginning to shake. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to do this. . . But he had to, he knew he had to . He slowly brought the dagger up to Keys heart. He could hear Keys breath get caught in his throat. He shook his head trying to get all thoughts of loving Key out of his mind. He started pressing harder. Just when he was about to break skin, That's when he broke. He dropped the dagger on the old wooden floor, it landed with a loud clank. The sound echoing in the silent apartment. Before Key could open his eyes Onew leaned in Kissing him deep. Kissing him with all the passion he could muster out of his body. He pulled away. Tears falling like a water fall out of his eyes. His body was shaking from how intense the tears were. He just sat back and put his face in his hands while he cried. "I can't do it Key. I can't."
"But you have to Onew. You can't fail God." Key said picking up the dagger from the floor. Onew looked up at Key with fire in his eyes, "I don't have to do anything!" Onew about yelled. As he took the dagger from Keys hand and threw it as hard as he could. It ended up just sticking into the wall by the bed. Keys eyes grew wide at the sudden out burst. "I'm sick of Gods little games! He had no right to send you to Hell in the first place! Now if I don't want to send the person I love to Hell then I'm not going to! Id rather be on the run for the rest of my life with the person I love then sit in heaven doing Gods commands. I just want to be with you Key. I'm never wanted anything more in my whole existence." Keys eyes started to water, "D-do you really mean that Onew? You'd be giving up everything you worked so hard for..." Onew looked into Keys eyes with the most serious look, "I'm positive." Key wrapped his arms around Onew, breathing in his scent. "I love you." Key whispers into Onews ear. "I love you too Key. I love you so much."

The next day they both took a cab to the docks, They stood there looking out at the sea. Onew turned to Key." Are you ready?" Key smiled. "Yes." Onew unbuckled the latch on his bag and took out his cellphone and dialed the only number in it.
"Onew. Have you done it?" Were Gods first words when he answerd the phone.
"No God, I'm not going to do it." Onew said.
"Well I guess your coming back to heaven then... I really thought you could do this, I guess I was wrong." God said in a disappointed voice.
"I'm not coming back to Heaven ether." God didn't say anything. All he did was sigh.
"You know what this means don't you?" God asked.
"Yes. I do." Onew said and hung up the phone.
"Would you do the honor?" Onew asked as he handed the phone to Key.
"I'd be glad to." Key said as he threw the phone as hard as he could into the ocean.
Onew then took out the dagger and threw it even farther. Never to see it again. Gone.
"Guess we better get going. He should be sending Jonghyun in the next day." Onew smiled at Key, and Key at Onew as they interlaced their fingers. And started to walk to the cab that would then take them to the airport, to fly to wherever they decided to go. All they knew is that they would be together where ever it was.
