"Why are you here, then?" Nathaniel asked tentatively.

He tilted his head to the side "you really haven't figured it out yet, have you. Let me give you a hint. I lost someone. Now I intend to get them back."

"You can't have him." Nathaniel said sharply, turning his eyes back up to the demon.

"oh but I can." He glanced at Nathaniel with Nick sympathy "though that is understandable that your possessive of him seeing that he's the only one here or in the Heavens that actually cared and maybe truelt loves you. But think about it from his perspective. You're the only angel he's ever connected with. Your the only other angel down here that he knows so it's understandable if you feel a connection. But you're inexperienced with love. You don't know what you feel. He does, and so do I. He'd be much happier with me. With his equal in every way."

"N-No! You're wrong!" Nathaniel was starting to get angry now. "He does love me!" He looked over at the door. "V! Help!"

"he can't here you. Demon wards on the doors prevent whatever is said in here to be heard out there." He smirked "now time for my favorite part. Negotiating."

Nathaniel cowered in the corner, feeling like a trapped animal. "No… you… y-you can't have him…"

"Don't worry. I'm not ging to hurt you. In fact, I might make your life a bit better. But I'm going to need something in return." He waved a hand towards nathaniel, coaxing his wings out "I can give you your wings back. I can give you your flight back. all you have to do is hand over V. I'll take your memories of him and replace them with memories of flight, the wind beneath your feathers, freedom. What you've wanted ever since you got here. To feel powerful and unbinded."

"No!" Nathaniel pulled his wing away from the demon, shivering at the touch. "I'd never trade V for something as stupid as my wings. Sure, flying's nice, but humans have survived this long without it. I love V. If you truly loved him, then you'd understand how ridiculous of an offer that is." He crossed his arms, looking up at the taller man with his face set.

"I do love him, I've spent my entire life trying to find him after I was sent to hell! I've spent every hour trying to find my way back to my angeland savior. Now that i've come so close I will not let another take him from me." He growled, getting close to Nathaniel "you will hand him over sooner or later."

"I'd like to see you fucking try." Nathaniel gripped the collar of the demon's shirt and yanked him down to his level. "He doesn't belong to you. He belongs to me, and me to him. You see, he's chosen me. You're assuming that he'll just want to go with you. He doesn't love you. He sees you as a friend. Take it or leave it. Now back the fuck off." He thrust him away and started towards the door, huffing.

He chuckled darkly "you think I'm going to let you go after that little fiasco you just pulled? Your mistaken my dear, if you won't give me V willingly, I'll just have to take something of yours. He pulled out a black blade from behind his desk.

"Like what?" Nathaniel eyed the blade warily, not liking where this was going. He stepped back again, but managed to keep his face stoic for now.

He stroked the blade lovingly before glancing up at Nathaniel "those wings are a dead weight, aren't they?"

Nathaniel froze, realizing what the demon meant. "N-Not really. I… I can still… you know, move them…" He stammered.

"yes but you can't fly or spread them. I xan relieve you of that pain. Or I can give you the wings you so desperately want in exchange for V. Your choice."

Nathaniel shook his head. "You… y-you don't want to do this. V will be furious." He pressed himself up against the door, his heart pounding in his throat.

"v won't have any recollection of this meeting or of you once I'm done taking those memories. He'll only know me, my love and passion for him."

This has gone long enough. V stood from his chair and headed over to he door, shaking the handle a bit to find it locked

"N-No… please…" Nathaniel cowered against the door, trembling a bit. He'd already decided he would choose this over willingly abandoning V, though.
(So you'll probably end up cutting him but like, not actually succeeding I guess?)

(maybe….)
Looking around to make sure no one was in the vacinity, v took out a small pocket knife that he carried around and pricked his finger. With the blood that welled up, he drew a small circle on the door with an intricate design within. "lucriose" he whispered. Once inside the room he found a man towering over Nathaniel with a blade pointed over his wings

Nathaniel had his eyes closed, trembling with one arm shielding his face. "I-I won't let you take him! He won't go!" The blade cut into the base of one of his wings and he screamed in agony, struggling to get away.

"I don't care at this point, you'll be in so much pain by the time I'm through with you you won't even get a chance to say goodbye to him." He twisted the blade a little with a smirk "but it'd so delicious to here you say it. Maybe them.ill spare you of more pain. Give me Valderian." He growled
"Step away from my angel, now." V growled, his wings arced in defense as he slowly made his way over to them

Nathaniel's head snapped up to V, his eyes stinging with pained tears. He was shaking violently, clutching his bleeding wing. He was beginning to get dizzy from the pain and couldn't speak.

He tore out the blade and took a step back "well, well, well. Look who finally decided to show up." He smiled at v
V glared at him and stood in front of Nathaniel "who are you." He asked
"V I'm hurt. You don't remember an old friend?" He pressed a hand to his own chest in mock hurt
"Any one who cares hurt him i'm glad to forget, past friend or not."

Nathaniel glanced up at the demon from behind V, his face expressionless. His wings hung low from where his shirt had been torn by the knife, and the fabric was becoming soaked with his blood.
