Truth or Dare: Nexus Edition

[the_rebel_son]

Lucifer isn't quite sure how this madness started. The angels had opened up the council chamber for visitors and of course Beelzebub had started them drinking, then they got rowdy and people started joining them. Who had brought up the idea of Truth or Dare was unknown but it rippled through the amassing group to a uniform good idea, despite the objective nature of it being a disaster.

Then there was some vote that Lucifer missed where Galahad, Prometheus, and Belial were made judges to keep things in line. That might have been the most reasonable and sane thing since this conversation started. Chairs were rearranged to a big circle.. and all the chairs from the villa had been taken. It was crowded, specially when they decided the judges should have chaises to lounge on. This was some true ancient Greek style madness with the drinking and the topics that were sure to come up. Still, it was all fun and games, right?

"I'm not sure when Death came into existence on my world," Aziraphale murmurs. "God didn't create him by murdering anyone."

He looks at Moloch curiously. "Did you have any friends in Heaven?" He cared enough to possibly seek out the company of others, so maybe...?

[bloodysacrifice]

"Then your God is a step above ours." Moloch was serious. He might be a killer by creation or nature, but he would never say he was all loving. God had been a hypocrite on that front.

"I was the angel of sorrow and sacrifice in a heaven where death and sadness didn't exist." It's a round about way of saying no, not so much for his personality but that they couldn't even fathom what he was. It had been one of the things that pushed him into the same corner as Lucifer.

[sohoangel]

"I should hope so," Aziraphale replies with just a touch angelic defensiveness. His God didn't create an angel whose soul purpose was for sorrow and sacrifice! He huffs and then settles back down, fingers twisting in his lap.

Moloch doesn't have to spell it out. "I didn't have any friends, either," he replies with a soft, rueful smile. "I couldn't understand why, I was always polite, always willing to help others... maybe I was too different, even back then. My first friend was a demon. Isn't that funny? I felt more of a connection with him in the five minutes we spoke than all my time in Heaven."

[bloodysacrifice]

"All I've had is enemies." Moloch shrugs taking a drink though he would never admit it there were a couple angels who at least treated him with neutral curiosity or tolerance. "God created me an abomination."

At the comment about the demon, Moloch raises a brow as his gaze turns to the angel beside him. There's a smirk somewhere between proud and amused. "Is that why you talk to me? Your preference for demons?"

It would make sense given the angel was here with a crew of fallen instead of among his own kind.

[sohoangel]

"I don't consider you an enemy," Aziraphale says, very quietly, before looking away, certain that Moloch will mock him for it.

And then he blushes and gives Moloch something of a stormy look. "I don't prefer demons. I prefer anyone that I can hold a civil conversation with. There's no need to treat anyone with hostility if there isn't any cause for it, even if they are hereditary enemies."

[bloodysacrifice]

"Give it time." It isn't quite mockery, prodding perhaps, and definitely despair.

The reddening of his cheeks doesn't go unnoticed. It is enough to get a pointed gaze from Moloch's red-golden eyes. "Why the blush little angel?"

And he's right back at the games that Moloch prefers. "If it is only civil conversations I wouldn't see your rouged cheeks."

[sohoangel]

Well, that was better than being called a fool. "We'll see. Time is all we have, after all."

And time was once that Aziraphale denied his relationship with Crowley, wanting to protect him from his own kind. Moloch triggers those same urges, but considering that he's bound to find out anyway, the angel works up the nerve to answer, fussing with his collar as if that was somehow to blame for his blushing.

"My demon friend also happens to be my romantic partner. I assure you that he is the exception to the rule of demons on my world, much as I am the exception of angels."
