Fallen

Part one:


---------------------

Arias stood at the edge of the cliff for a few more seconds, gearing himself to jump. 'Just don't look down, don't look down,' He repeated over and over in his head. He closed his eyes and spread out his wings. In one mighty flap, he leaped as far as he could, his hands grasping the air for Kasagio's hands - and he missed.

"Arias!" Kasagio called out, reaching forward to grab onto his friend's arms but the weight pulled him forward, causing him to slip from the edge. Arias let out a scream when he realized his feet were not on solid ground, clinging onto Kasagio like no tomorrow. The black angel did his best to try and fly back up but he wasn't very strong. Coupled with the squirming Arias in his arms, his wings soon gave in and the two went tumbling out of the air.

...

Kasagio slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying his back on the forest floor, staring up at a very grumpy angel's face. The black angel blinked then looked down and noticed the position that they were in. His face immediately flushed red. "H-Hey, Arias. Nice to see you drop in," Kasagio joked, trying to move away from the white angel but he had a hand pinned down on his chest so he couldn't move.

For a second, there was a light of amusement in Arias's eyes from the pun but it faded as quickly as it came. "You promised me that you wouldn't drop me," Arias said.

"I said I would catch you," Kasagio said, giving a nervous shrug, "I didn't realize how heavy you were, heheh."

"And I didn't realize how much of a twig you were," Arias retorted, "If you weren't my best friend, I would snap you right now."

Kasagio gulped as Arias got up, feeling stiff in more ways than one.

Arias sighed and started brushing the leaves off of his body, "well, since we're down here, I guess we're walking to the market now. Come on, the others are waiting." And with that, he walked off in the direction of the market without checking on his friend.

When Arias was out of sight, Kasagio let out a long wheezing sound and covered his face.
'I'm so pathetiiiiiiic', He thought, rolling over from side to side as he tried to regain his composure.
