Angels Lie
The project’s gaze softened, and, once more Bert reminded himself to figure out his name so he didn’t have to keep referring to him as ‘the project.’ It was getting annoying, and beginning to sound like he was some scientist who was studying to poor guy’s anatomy.
Bert took a few steps back, mentally, and tried to figure out when in hell he had softened. Was it not just three months ago he would’ve pounded this guy’s face in without a second thought for treating him like shit? Would he not have given him the biggest attitude adjustment of his entire fucking life, had he spoken to him like that? Was he missing something? Had He forced him to soften up?
It's not easy to be an angel. It's even harder to be a guardian angel. Especially when you're lying, to keep your identity hidden, Bert had decided. He was his "charge's" boyfriend. And not just necessarily because he wanted to be.
But what happened when he started actually falling for the project?
