Summary; The Twins met at last. Much angst, jealousy, tears and falling feathers.
Log;
It was early or late, depending how people measured time. They would attract less attention if they met at dawn. Thus, when the darkness was fading and the first sunlight hit the rooftop, Alexiel met with her companions to adjourn in direction of the Cathedral.

The lights of the City never dimmed, much unlike that coming from the stars above. They were less bright when contrasting on the pink and orange hues that replaced the deep blue that had marked the night. The air was chilly yet she did not feel cold, even with her thin cloak covering her and concealing her features.

Rosiel was everything to her. The climate, the city and the lights above meant nothing when came to her brother. Even those beside her.

He was there, so close, at her mere reach. Alexiel speeded the pace, wordlessly leaving the men’s side. Thousands of things troubled her thoughts, millions of things she wanted to say to her brother, do when she saw him. The anxiety increased with the damn ticking of the carousel; it was the first time it bothered her.

Alexiel controlled her feelings and paused, looking over her shoulder to wait for Cain and Lucifer. Men. They were so slow. But in their company she would not hear the ticking.

Alexiel looked around for any clue that might lead her to Rosiel. Was her twin hiding, embarrassed of his state? She did not care how he looked like. Even when he was a pile of flesh and cables, she had loved him and taken care of him.

“Rosiel?!” she exclaimed again, more insistence, her voice a tad agitated. Then, she saw him. Her own three wings opened again, pushing her forward. Rosiel was there, her vision grew blurry. Her brother was with her finally.

Arms spread, Alexiel embraced the Inorganic Angel, uncaring for the degenerating parts. Her arms were warm and soft; she buried her face on his hair as her fingers caressed his strands in affection.

“My brother,” she told him in a whisper, confirming what he had wanted to hear during all his existence. “I love you.”

"My... sister?"

Could it be? Was it a mirage, like an oasis appearing in the middle of a desert that was his mind. He could well be dying and rotting, and this is the apparition that his mind chose to have before he finally passes away.

"I do not want you to see me like this, Sister", he said as he felt the unmistakeable warmth and spiritual familiarity with the soft arms that were embracing him. I remember you so clearly, Sister like a mirror... of me. Your eyes look at me, as if to look at nobody but myself, realising I am alone.

"I don't want to be without your love, Sister" Rosiel looked up at the figure of his twin, though, in shame, he looked away again.

Alexiel’s expression softened when Rosiel looked away. She took his chin gently and dipped her head to kiss his forehead. The Organic Angel cared nothing about his appearance, he was her twin and only brother nonetheless how he looked like.

“You are beautiful to me brother,” she said, attempting to soothe his pain and shame. “We can live in the City now, fly through the sky together. Or visit the Gardens. You will love them.”

Lowering her eyelids, Alexiel closed her eyes, holding her brother tightly against herself. She had to repress the urge to shed tears of joy for this chance to find Rosiel again, but she refrained. He needed her smile not her weeping. He had only saw her depressed or unemotional and never smiling at him.

Beautiful.

These words are echoing through his entire being. Such a word has produced no satisfaction throughout his existence... not until now that the person he longed to hear it from the most, has said it.

"Am I going insane? Truly? Sister?"

He touched her neck lightly, and traced her throat with his long, delicate fingers. His nails barely scratching the holy flesh.

Together.

He knew that the experience was real, and that he was not dreaming it all, though he won't be surprised if it were a dream. It was everything he ever wanted, to be loved and praised by his own twin sister, Alexiel. Her smile was like breath of fresh air into a world in which he only breathes the foul air of his own decay.

Will I ever be healed?

“Hush. I’m here now,” Alexiel whispered gently against his cheek, still holding Rosiel close; their wings brushing softly, losing some feathers while at it. She knew he was suffering but now, when she looked at his eyes, there was a light of hope. It filled her with a warm feeling that she never experienced before.

Joy.

She was happy. For the first time since she was Created, Alexiel was truly happy. As long she could keep Rosiel content near her side, she would retain it.

“We will find a way to heal you,” Alexiel commented. “I can use the power the Adam Kadmon bestowed me if the City itself doesn’t heal you, brother.” She would hate to use such power but she would do anything for her twin, even distasteful acts like those.

"Sister, I want to see Heaven with you once again."

He knows that he may never escape this city, but if there is a heaven here, he wanted to know. There is something very imminent with the ticking of the clock... an End. Everything ends... not even God was eternal.

"I want to see heaven with you, when we are both together and unbounded by God's cruel chains. I want to see it when I know you truly love me."

Unpleasant memories of his ill-fated life haunted him, yet he tried to fight them, learning from his mistakes. His heart, that was once taken away, seems to have returned. His body, however, felt better than ever. It seems to be healing itself. Perhaps the closeness of his sister aided it? Or perhaps the mystery that is behind this strange universe.

"Where will we go, Sister?"

Alexiel was a touch sad with Rosiel’s request. He could never return to Heaven and she had no desire to do so. She never liked Heaven, it was too apparently pure and truly wicked beneath the glistening façade. She kept smiling and then released her brother, sitting down on the dome and beckoning him to join her. Dwelling about the subjects, she chose the words carefully.

“We are in Heaven,” she told him, caressing his hand lightly, squeezing it then. “Heaven isn’t the place we were born. We suffered thus is Hell to me. Heaven exists in our heart, in the place we are happy and together finally. This City is our Heaven.”

She inhaled deeply, glancing at their feathers fluttering above their heads. The sun painted them golden. “We have time, Rosiel. If the ticking bothered you, it will be gone when you are beside someone. It shouldn’t irritate you. Time passes, it simply means that, the fact time exists and we have plenty of it ahead.”

"No sister!" he said, still avoiding his sister's gaze. "I can sense that this ticking does not mean we have a lot of time... it foretells danger, sister, that this world is going to end..." he said breathlessly...

"There is no time. All of these, will end. Soon".

But even if it all ends, Rosiel felt happier at that very moment, being embraced around Alexiel's arms. He knows he can never get out of this city, but his sister can.

"Please sister, stay with me." He said softly.

Alexiel raised and eyebrow and smoothed his strands of hair softly, attempting to soothe his agitation. “As long I am here, I won’t allow anyone attempt to end the worlds unless you want me to not intrude,” she promised him. “Didn’t I stopped God inside Setsuna? It was revenge on our behalf, brother.”

“There is time,” she reassured him softly, standing up and offering her hand to aid him arise. “Where is Lailah? Has she allowed you some privacy?” Alexiel asked amused. “Or have you given her some sleeping pill?”

[r-o-s-i-e-l.livejournal.com]

"This is not Assiah, sister, nor heaven. Not even Hell. Is there even a God in a place such as this?" he said worryingly, covering his entire face in anguish and humiliation.

Rosiel turned his back, freeing himself of his sister's embrace... and the moment this happened, he felt himself going back to the reality that is this place, though he is in such a euphoric state, he managed to shake off such thoughts.

"Lailah, that poor, lonely soul. I am surprised she isn't in a catatonic state yet, After all that." Rosiel said, laughing gently as he dances around bright, cathedral being illuminated by the exceptionally sunny day.
