Rei immediately froze, reality hitting him like a ton of bricks, and he recalled with full force what Stheno had tried to do to him. He quickly pushed Ruka away and turned his back to him, once again too ashamed to look the other angel in the eye. Even if Ruka wasn't disgusted by his scars or his weakness, he would most certainly be repulsed when he found out what Rei had almost let Stheno...Rei wrapped his arms around himself, trying to stop his shaking.

"Rei?" Ruka said worriedly, taking a cautious step toward the trembling angel. "Rei, what is it? Did I say something that upset you?" Ruka took another step toward the delicate angel, reaching out to put a hand on his slim shoulder.

Rei could feel Ruka coming closer to him, and swiftly turned around and backed further away before the other angel could touch him. Terror colored his voice as he said, "D-Don't touch me, Ruka! I c-can't seem to get my barrier up, s-so if you touch me, you'll see...you'll see..." Rei couldn't continue and broke off, trembling even more fiercely and burying his face in his hands, sobbing.

Ruka felt his heart break at the sight of his beautiful, heavenly angel in so much pain. Cautiously, so as not to frighten the sobbing angel again, Ruka walked over to him, stopping when their bodies were only inches apart, but still not touching him. "Rei," he said softly, "I don't know what is causing you this much pain, but please, let me see it. I don't want you to what you be in pain ever again. Not if there's something I can do to alleviate it."

"B-But," Rei sobbed, his voice muffled by his hands, "But if you see it, you'll hate me for sure! You'll never want to touch me again!"

Ruka shook his head, "Rei, didn't I tell you earlier? No matter what happens, I will never hate you. I couldn't even if I wanted to. You are so immeasurably precious to me, and there is nothing in heaven, on Earth, or in hell that could ever change that."

Rei slowly dropped his hands away from his face. He didn't say anything, or even look up at Ruka, but he timidly nodded his head, which Ruka took as a consent.

Carefully, almost tenderly, Ruka took one of Rei's delicate hands in both of his.

As soon as his skin touched Rei's, Ruka was once again assaulted with a barrage of feelings and memories from the smaller angel, but this time, instead of being a jumbled mess, they were all centered around one being.

Stheno.

Ruka had known that Stheno was was a despicable, malevolent, pathetic excuse for an angel. After all, an angel who would use his powers against another angel unprovoked was not worthy of being called an angel. But not even Ruka had suspected this.

Ruka felt his whole body, every fiber of his being, ignite with fury at the sight of that...creature touching his Rei. How dare that trash put his filthy hands on Rei's beautiful body! And just the thought of what might have happened to his pure, innocent angel had Rei not used his powers was enough to make Ruka want to vomit.

Ruka had originally been planning to hunt down Stheno and kill him himself, but no, death would not do for one such as him. It was far, far too easy. No, Ruka would make sure that Stheno suffered all the torments heaven, Earth, and hell had to offer. He would make Stheno grovel at his feet and beg and plead for death. And only then, if he was feeling merciful, would he kill the repulsive son of a bitch.

Rei was trembling terribly the entire time Ruka was reading his thoughts. He expected Ruka to snatch his hands away the minute he was finished, to tell Rei he was disgusting and filthy and that he never wanted to see him again. He expected to look into those beautiful crimson eyes and see nothing but anger and revulsion. But that was definitely not what Rei got.

"Rei," when Rei heard the soft voice calling his name, he braced himself and slowly looked up to meet Ruka's gaze. What he saw there sent shock waves throughout his entire body.

Oh, there was anger in Ruka's eyes alright. An anger so intense Rei thought he could see it burning in Ruka's crimson eyes. But somehow, Rei knew that anger was not aimed at him, but the tenderness and love that Rei saw in that gaze as well, that was his. All his.

Ruka brought the hand of Rei's that he was still holding up to his lips and kissed his palm, smiling slightly as he felt Rei shiver at the touch. Slowly he raised his gaze so that he was looking Rei in the eye and reached one hand out to cup the smaller angel's porcelain cheek. "Rei, what Stheno did to you only proves what a repulsive being he is, but it has no bearing on you or your worth as an angel. Nor does it effect how I feel about you in the least. I still want to gaze upon your beauty until my eyes lose their sight. And," Ruka said, using his grip on Rei's hand to pull the slender angel flush against his body, putting an arm lightly around his small waist, "I still want to touch as much of your beautiful body as I possibly can," he breathed into Rei's ear, causing the small angel to shiver again and blush a delicate pink.

"R-Ruka," Rei stuttered, turning his face away in embarrassment. Ruka just smiled at how cute his little angel was, and used his free hand to tilt Rei's face back towards him.

"Don't look away from me," Ruka said softly, slowly bringing his face down towards Rei's. "Please, don't ever look away from me again." And with that, he closed the space between them, brushing his lips softly against Rei's in a tender, but meaningful kiss.

Rei immediately responded to the kiss, closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around Ruka's neck, and allowing his lips to mold themselves against Ruka's.

They stayed like that for a while, kissing one another as though one were a source of life for the other, not stopping until they were sure they would pass out for lack of oxygen. And even when they did stop, they didn't break apart, and instead held each other close, enjoying the comfort that the others warmth brought.

It was only when Ruka's hand brushed against a particularly deep wound on Rei's back and he winced that they remembered their current situation. "We should probably go back," Ruka said softly. "Yuda will be wanting to check on your wounds again, and you need to rest."

Rei sighed, "Yes, I suppose you're right," but when he made a move to disentangle himself from Ruka's embrace, he found that the taller angel's arms would not budge. "Ruka..." He looked up and saw Ruka smiling impishly at him, and it made the smaller angel nervous. "Ruka what—?"

Suddenly, Ruka swung Rei up into his arms, carrying him like a man would his bride. "Ruka? What do you think you're doing?"

"Taking you home, of course," Ruka replied calmly, though the smile was still plastered on his face. "Don't even attempt to convince me that you can fly back to Heaven's Palace on your own. We both know that you'll only aggravate your wounds further by trying. So please, don't argue."

Rei blushed, ducking his head so Ruka wouldn't see. "Ruka..." he said softly.

Ruka looked down at him, preparing to take off, "Yes?"

Rei's blush darkened, "I-I love you," he said softly.

Ruka stopped what he was doing and looked down at the beautiful, blushing angel in his arms. He really is too cute, he thought to himself. "I love you too, Rei."

Rei looked up at Ruka with so much trusting love in his eyes that the older angel felt his heart skip a beat. Carefully cradling the precious package in his arms, he extended his glittering silver wings and gracefully took off into the sky.
