"They're coming back" Azazel pointed out as he held Raphael's face. His freckles were starting to spread around his cheeks, and the demon felt a great sense of relief after everything that had occurred.

Raphael didn't reply. He kept looking at his lover's face for a minute. The demon had a tiny smile, his eyes looked so tired… They were still smiling, but something else was there... 

"How long did I sleep?" The angel was suspicious, but didn't want to cause another argument. They were both too fragile at the moment for that. 

"Five months and two days" Aze replied instantly as if he had been counting every second without fail 

"FIVE MONTHS?!" Raphael was appalled.

"And two days" Aze added

"Five whole months?!" Aze was ready to open his mouth, but Raphael interrupted as soon as he noticed "with two days". Bit of a snarky remark there.

"Aze, how could you let me sleep that long?!!! All my plants must be dead or at least at the edge of dying. Aze, they're pathetic without me around!! Oh my stars, the record store... I don't want to think about it"

The archangel nervously started playing with his shoulder length hair. Azazel had noted that it was neck length a couple of minutes ago, but kept it to himself, thinking that his husband might not appreciate him pointing that out right now, so he just left Raphael ramble for a little more.

"What about you? How are you still standing? Have you eaten?? Have you even left my side??" The nervous mess squished the demon’s face "you look worn out" 

"Ok, that's enough" The tired mess said and grabbed both of the hands that held him. 

"You got attacked, your plants know better as to disappoint you, and Raf, I love you but nobody is buying vinyl right now."

"Rude." Raphael pouted 

"Yes, I have eaten and I haven't left your side" 

The angel’s eyes scanned the room, noticing that some of his home decorations were completely gone or had missing pieces.

"That's not f-"

"Goat, demon, me. It was delicious" They had this conversation millions of times, why he was bewildered was beyond him. 

"And the fatigue, well, it's thanks to the curse or whatever I took from you"

"You what?" Raphael was in shock.

"Let's get you something to eat first" 

Aze took Raphael's hand and after months, finally left the bedroom.
