Villains and Heroes (One on One) (Closed)

He looks at her. "Mmm… Your turn I believe." He nuzzles her neck.

"Well, you'll have to let me leave. C'mon, Despair, get in there." Marlene holds up her ring, and Despair flies into it. Wrapping her wings around herself and unfolding them again to reveal a snowy white dress, Mar has become the angel. She wiggles off of Antione's lap and opens the window, saluting.

He watches her go. "Love you!" He calls happily.

She waved and flew out the window, the tug leading her to a hospital, as usual. She flew into the room, half-expecting the Reaper to appear at any moment.

He hums softly, beginning to clean up, setting out some champagne for when she gets home.

Gently singing to the little girl with cancer, the process is done in minutes without the Reaper in the way, and Marlene flies home.

Antoine relaxes on the couch, silently dozing on the couch.

Transforming into herself, Marlene clambers back inside, Despair coming back out of the ring.

He continues to sleep, relaxing a little.

“Aw, look at the wittle Reaper, sleeping so peacefuwy. Hmm.” Despair edges ever closer, and Marlene snatches him out of the air. “Don’t you dare.”

Antoine shifts in his sleep, curling up a little.

“He is kinda cute, though.” Marlene murmurs, setting Despair on the table and leaning against the back of the couch. “He must be really tired, the puppy.”

Antoine sighs softly, a small smile twitching on his lips. He lets out a small purr, relaxing.

“Oh god.” Elise grins and turns back to the table. “The champagne will lose its fizz, but I don’t want to wake him up, either.”

Antoine opens one eye, "Ngh… what century is it…?" He mumbles.

“Still the 21st,” Marlene replies, giggling.

He groans. "Oh how wonderful…"

“I took care of it. I was afraid the champagne was going to lose its fizz if you kept sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you up.” Marlene grins. “Champagne?”

"Yes please." He answers.

Marlene hands him a glass and sits next to him with her own on the couch, Despair curling up on a cushion four feet away from them.

"Thanks love. A toast, to a new era! And a new love." he teases, raising his brows flirtatiously.

“Aw, puppy.” Marlene giggles, raising her glass.

He smiles, "Woof." He says before he takes a sip.

Marlene takes a long sip, then smacks it down on the table in satisfaction. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had anything from that bar.” She downs the glass in her second sip. “That was delicious. Fleeting, but delicious.”

"Indeed…" he replies, taking another sip, humming.

“I want more, but…” She looks longingly at the big bottle. “We’ve got school.”

"One more can't hurt, can it?" He asks, smirking at her.

“Mm, alright. But just one. No buts.”

"Fine…" he hums, pouring them another cup.

Marlene takes it and downs it just as quickly as before. Setting it down and leaning against him, she sighs.
