Days grew longer and more stale, their lives had changed, from two separate beings each in their own world, to a life where the idea of being separated pained them, one choice the pair could make that would first let them be together but also have it to where nothing would ever be the same, RAF would at first lavish the idea; on earth, with her love, the thought brought flutters to her, but the consequential thought of leaving her present life brought the tears.
When Raf first joined the school, her plan was to graduate and be a full-fledged guardian angel with the life she had always desired, mostly consisting of helping the people of earth, unfortunately with her present issue this past wish was dissolved. Before she made any brash decisions she needed to discuss it with someone…
Raf had already decided that she wasn't going to tell her girls, well at least not straight up, being that she already knew that they hated the idea of Sulfus and her, and just bringing up the idea of leaving her angel life for earth, just to be with him: a devil, that scenario would just destroy them. In addition to this issue, there was a sort of unpredictability with the actions of a future Sweet that Raf didn't wish to experience.
Cox, her closest companion wasn't much help either, but he at least understood the situation, being that he had been present throughout most of the two's encounters, Cox had a sort of backseat view of the whole ordeal. He would articulate to Raf that it was up to her and that it was her choice, being that if she were to decide to go through with the transformations, he would be there to support her, though he didn't quite know what would happen to him, he always understood, though it might not of been apparent to her, that it was up to Raf to make her own choices in life.

Most mornings began the same as each other, the shuffling of Urie walking and getting ready would almost always wake up Raf, she'd never complain, being that she liked that is a sort of natural alarm and much preferred it over the intense alarm Cox would welcome to her if slept in, a screeching siren is what Urie once described it as when she experienced it. It was the first morning at school and as she was getting ready and it went off, it was all in order to wake the deep sleeping angel.
Luckily this one wasn't one of those mornings, in fact she had woken up early, though she has had days where she'd wake before her roommate, his time around had a more puzzling thought and she wanted to write her heart across her diary, the scribblings woke up Urie but this was mostly due to Raf's additional mutterings.
With a long drawn-out sigh, face still planted onto her pillow and eyes tightly shut, Urie yawned, "Raf what is it this time?"
"Don't worry it's nothing, just woke up early and I decided to write… you know?"
Urie arose from her bed, the quilt still draped around her, gently culling the sleep from her eyes, she moved herself into a seated position, she would continue the 'chat'.
"The writing is fine, it's the mutterings that's the issue, something about a choice and… something else, I was too busy sleeping to hear the rest."
"Urie it's… I-, it's… "
"Raf my sweet angel, tell me when the sun is up, out and awake, if not that's fine, but please not now. I have a big day later, my Earthly-one is having an issue at home and I need to be at my best if I want to win over my opponent."
With that Raf had decides to move herself out of the room, picking up her pen and diary, slipped into her slippers and walked towards the door with a quick look back, she tapped at the door and as the door slid opened she peered out, left-right-right, after proceeding through the hall and moving towards the library.
The walk there was cold. Colder than usual but that didn't catch Raf's attention, a lone Devil was what her focus was intertwined with, though it wasn't her devil it was probably the next best thing. Kabale, though she could be considered intense by Raf's fellow angel, Raf herself could understand where her friends were coming from and even at one point would agree with them but since she found a love for a certain devil, she also found compassion for most others, plus Raf did enjoy having a different devilish opinion.
Flicking her hand up, Raf Waved.
"Hey, what are you doing?" whispering, Raf moved closer to her peer.
"Ahh Raf, angel, you know me just snooping around at night," She spoke normally but intermittently would remember to whisper. "What's up?"
"Oh just can't seem to stay asleep and it seems I have the inkling to write, so I'm just heading to the library." Motioning her head to the east wing.
"If I were a good angel like you I'd ask to join you, but lucky for me, I'm not, but don't be surprised if I do join you later… not much company this time of night."
Kabale's mouth split into a smile as the two passed were about to one another, waving to signal their farewell, Kabale quickly perked up and turned to face the angel again.
Just before the two were completely out of sight the devil loudly whispered, "If you're wondering where he is, check the storage room … make sure to knock first …"
A wide smile shown onto the angel's face, Kabale giggled and winked back at Raf, though the two were on completely different sides, somehow both seemed to like the opposite's company, it wasn't positive or negative feeling it was like a neutral ground, and with a nod, they were a fair distance apart.

Just before the entering the library there is a long corridor and there are several rooms spread across the two walls one of which, along the right hand side, a couple doors before the turn for the library, it is labelled as : general storage, this room is generally used to keep equipment that Professor Arkhan and occasionally Professor Temptel would used in class and occasionally other studies. The door was mostly unlocked for convenience, but this go around Sulfus would enter the room and lock it behind him.
Sulfus spent most of his time in his own room reading mostly on the history of Angels and Devils, mostly on the gorier, horrific parts and he enjoyed the read, but occasionally he would like to spice up his reading, mostly in the Adult photography variety, he'd get a new stash every so often from a buddy of his. Most of the magazines are of the generic devil mags mostly straight forward BDSM ones but to his surprise he once got a similar genre book but this go about was more of the risky side, mostly because it consisted of the more angelic interpretations with the normal devils being replaced with angels … Well from the initial looks it seemed like that was the case, Sulfus could mostly tell that all the pictures were edited slightly but, Sulfus didn't really care about that detail. He enjoyed the interesting take.
When reading the 'alternate' variety of literature, he'd make his way to the storage room here he'd have some alone time, though he'd never actually help himself… too much, just the look of the Angel magazine tightened his jeans and this evening was no exception, but just before any action was to happen, a knock came from the door, this scared the shit out of Sulfus but the angelic laughter coming from the other side soothed any rage that would of built up.
He picked himself up, scampered over and slid the magazine in between a few posters in the darker edge of the room, shuffling back he unlocked the door to be greeted the glowing angel, she was a little more radiant the usual, the reason for this could of been because that she hadn't seen Sulfus in a while or for the fact that she had caught him off guard, these reasons didn't matter to much to him, just seeing her, brought up his smile.
"Your red," a tight lipped laugh came from Raf, as she glazed down at the slightly unzipped fly of her favourite devil. "And from the looks of things you seem busy."
