Heaven and HellOne representing everything good and pure while the other represented everything bad and rotten. Angels and Demons were put in two boxes: all Angeles are kind and loyal, all Demons are evil and heartless. Of course, not everything is that simple.Jungkook and Jimin were Angels who were training to be guardian Angels since they were born. It was only a few days left to Jimin’s 18th birthday which would make him an adult. He would get his wings and a human to guard.Wings of Angels depend on the job they get. Golden for keeping earth’s treasures save, blue for waters, green or light brown for nature, pink or red for jobs such as Cupid’s and white for the Guardians. There were also black wings. Wings of those who don’t deserve their grace or just aren’t suitable to be angels. They would then be sent to Hell or be turned to mortals.“I can’t wait for the ceremony tomorrow! You’re finally getting your wings!”Jungkook was practically jumping in his spot on Jimin’s bed. He had to wait for two more years until his. His mouth was stretched into a large grin and his eyes open wide.“Looks like you’re more excited then me.”Jimin joked but deep down he knew he wasn’t actually. He could sense that something won’t go right and it was making him nervous. There was always something different about him, he felt restricted in Heaven and wished to be free from all the rules and trained perfection. He just wanted freedom.“Of course I’m exited, it’s a big deal!”Jungkook was flapping his arms around and Jimin shook his head, smiling, as he watched his best friend. Jungkook’s hair was brown and falling over his eyes, eyes dark and captivating, lips cherry red and he looked older than he actually was. Jimin has wondered many times how it would feel to brush fingers through his hair while there lips were locked together. That would never happen, love was for humans and lust was for Demons. Angels had feelings but they weren’t like those in humans. Angels are warriors not lovers.“You are ridiculous. Now scoot I want to lay down.”Jimin got up from the floor and lay down with his head on Jungkook’s lap. Jungkook started at his older friend and started playing with his hair. He watched Jimin’s breathing getting calmer until he was asleep. After making sure that he was in deep sleep he traced the lines of Jimin's face with his fingers. He wished he can just lean in and do it with kisses instead but that thought was ridiculous and he felt stupid for thinking of something like that. Angles don’t kiss, they fight and protect.♢♢♢The ceremony was held next to the gates of Heaven. Gates were tall and golden, meaning to represent the glory and power of God. Jimin was in line with other Angels who were turning 18 today. Jungkook was in the first row waiting for Jimin’s name to be called. It took some time since his last name began with P but when it echoed through the room Jungkook grinned while Jimin felt like throwing up. His legs felt weak and his palms were sweating. He came to the centre and faced the Angels who were watching.“Park Jimin, today you are truly becoming a servant of Heaven. We expect dedication to your work and loyalty to Heaven. Let your wings show!”He felt pressure on his back as the wings started to form behind him. Once they rose in their full height he saw Angels whispering among each other. He made a mistake of looking at Jungkook. The younger boy had a hand over his mouth and his eyes were open so wide that it looked like they would pop out. Jimin’s throat tightened as he looked at his wings. They were pitch black and impossible to miss in all the whiteness.“We are sorry to inform that Park Jimin will no longer be part of us. He shall be sent to Hell where he would decide on his fate. Please proceed towards the gates.”Angel’s voice was stern and Jimin didn’t hesitate to the exit. This is the first time in ages that the gates will be opening. Now, when the shock left him he felt calm. There was no fear of banishing he was facing. Doors creaked as they opened.“NO! JIMIN!”Jungkook was running to him, Angels were trying to stop him but he escaped from their grasp. When he was in front of Jimin he could see the mess he was. His eyes were red, cheeks swollen from tears and hair tangled. Jungkook pulled him in a tight hug begging him not to leave.“Jungkook you know I don’t have a choice. I have to go.”He moved Jungkook’s hands from his body but didn’t let them go. Jungkook was shaking his head and whispering ‘No’. Jimin then did something he never he would, he kissed him. His lips were soft and salty from tears but it didn’t bother him. Jungkook was kissing back and that was all that mattered. Jungkook was aware of the audience they had but for the first time in his life he didn’t care about others. Last couple of minutes were pure pain but he managed to forget about what was happening, even if it was for a short period of time. Jimin pulled back way to soon and now only thing left of him was his taste on Jungkook’s lips.“That’s enough. Please go where you belong.”Angel gestured to now open gates. Jimin gave Jungkook a ring he always wore before leaving him behind. When he stepped out he felt like he was on fire when his grace stated leaving. The doors started closing and he turned to see Jungkook one more time. He was crying again and Jimin felt his heart tighten. He was leaving behind the only thing he ever cared about.“Forgive me.”And the gate closed.♢♢♢TWO YEARS LATERJimin woke up at the sound of his friends yelling down the hallway. He pulled the covers over his head but they were soon yanked off of him. When he looked up he saw Taehyung and Yoongi towering over him.“What? I’m sleeping.”He pulled covers back up but didn’t go back to sleep and waited for the answer. Taehyung was the most cheerful Demon he ever met but he was good at being bad that it was surprising. Yoongi on other hand was always calm and spoke only when needed, mostly just too add a sarcastic comment but from time to time he let loose too and then he was one of the funniest people Jimin knows."Well get up because you’re finally getting job.”Even with that news it took him some time to dress and go to the lead Demon. Taehyung and Yoongi were waiting for him there. He took a seat in front of the Demon who then moved few papers and a photo closer to him. It was of a little girl, maybe 3 or 4 with dark back hair like his.“The little girl just got a guardian Angel which means she also needs a Demon to ruin her. Have fun with your job. Angel’s name is Jeon Jungkook.”Jimin froze at the mention of him. The memories came back and he started to think about their kiss aging. For the first couple of months he felt miserable and wished he could see him again, kiss him again. He would be moping around for who knows how long if it wasn’t for Taehyung. He made him a real Demon .“Jungkook.”His name felt weird and distant on his lips, almost like they were never best friends. Jimin buried his emotions deep down and since then never loved again. He had hook up for fun but he barely remembered how the human which he seduced looked so love was ridiculous.“Jimin?”Yoongi appeared at his side and looked at the papers on the desk. Demon disappeared some time ago so now it was only three of then here. Giving jobs in Hell was hundred times simpler than in Heaven. It is Jungkook’s birthday today, he has become an guardian Angel.Jungkook sat on the floor of his room, wings hugging him as he sobbed. He wished Jimin was there to see him becoming an adult, too see his white wings. Memories of gates closing behind Jimin were still painful and he was reminded of the event when he had seen them again.Papers were spread under his legs. He was in charge of the little girl whose father left her mom but the lady never bothered to cry and just moved on. Jungkook wondered why get can’t do the same. The knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts. He quickly wiped his tears away and opened them.. The other angel gave him a small smile before handing him an envelope.“The girl was given a Demon.”And then he left. Jungkook closed the door behind him and returned to his spot on the floor. He stopped breathing for a moment when Jimin’s photo fell out of it. Subconsciously he touched the ring on his little finger, ring Jimin gave him. His hands were shaking as he reached for the photo. Jimin looked more mature now, baby fat was no longer there and his eyes seemed darker and more mysterious.“Jimin.”He let his name roll on his tongue after not being said for so long. He was still staring at the photo when he was informed he should go see the girl. He stepped out of his room and went to the gates that led to earth, the ones far away from the gates of Heaven.♢♢♢Jimin made the little girl trip couple of times but that was the most he could do since she was this little and not thinking yet about good and evil. He spread along the bench as he watched her. His wings were spread on the floor and he knew he was making them dirty but he ignored it. Lost in his thoughts he didn’t see Jungkook coming closer.Jungkook saw his wings from far away. His black clothing was in contrast with Jungkook’s plain white. Jimin’s jeans were ripped on his knees and T-shirt was a bit big on him so that it showed off his collar bones. Jungkook felt the need to touch him but quickly shook his head to keep that thoughts away. He cleared his throat and older boy opened his eyes.Jimin snapped up when he saw Jungkook. He was even taller and muscled now, jaw more defined but he still had innocent baby face. The ordinal white attire was tightly pressed against his body showing more than you’d think Angel would. Jimin’s thought were appropriate for a Demon. He wanted to steal the innocence.“Kookie.”Jungkook was surprised to hear his nickname after this long. He watched Jimin look him over and saw him bit his lower lip in process. To keep his thoughts safe he looked at the girl playing in the park with her mother keeping an watchful eye on her. He turned back to Jimin when he called his name again. He was no longer sitting, in fact he was standing inches away from Jungkook. Jungkook took a deep breath.Jimin had an urge to kiss the Heaven out of Jungkook. There were just inches separating them but the poor boy looked scared for his life so he dug his heels in the ground and buried his hands in his pockets.“Happy Birthday Kookie. I hope you haven’t seen any banishing today.”Jungkook saw him joke and he was mortified. How could he found that funny? Jungkook shook his head watching him and run fingers through his hair in frustration.“That’s funny to you? You left me alone! Did you ever care?!”This is the first time Jimin heard Jungkook raise his voice at him. Younger boy was looking at him in disbelief and he could see pain in his eyes. The problem was not that he didn’t care but that he cared too much. He was left broken."Of course I cared! I still do! Jungkook, I was complete mess. A friend help me bury my feelings, to be cold. To be a Demon! Now, just looking at you, all the walls I built are breaking down. I want you Jungkook, I want you so bad.”By the time he finished his speech his pupils were wide open and his eyes started glowing red just like every time he sinned. He grabbed Jungkook by the collar to pulled him down and pressed his lips against his. This kiss wasn’t slow and couscous like their first but passionate and hungry for more.Jungkook let Jimin take control of him. His body felt like it was on fire. Jimin’s other hand was tangled in Jungkook’s hair, tugging on it. Lust was not Heaven’s but Jungkook couldn’t help but feel it. No matter how long they were kissing Jungkook just needed more.They broke off when their lungs couldn’t take it anymore but they were still pressed together. Jimin swore under his breath and wished they could go further. Their hearts were beating in sync, jobs long forgotten.“Meet me here every singe day. You’re mine now.”Jimin voice was low and husky that it made Jungkook shiver. He knew he would stutter if he spoke up so he settled with nodding before resting his forehead on Jimin’s.One things was always correct about Heaven and Hell.They don’t go without one another.
