Angel cookie was having an alright day. Nothing too exciting happened, but it wasn't a particularly bad one either. It was relishing in the peace it had until the sound of doors slamming rang throughout the house. It must've been its sibling Devil cookie, who's usually rather loud anyways. Angel decided to ignore the commotion and pretended to read a book in its room. The young cookie learned that it's usually best to ignore the devil when they might be in a bad mood. Its plans of ignoring its sibling were interrupted when it heard the sound of something shattering, followed by yelling coming from devils room. Angel can't ignore the yells when it might mean devil is in pain. It put down the book and slowly creeped out of its room and into devil’s.
“ Hey devil…? You okay?”
“ WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” they sighed, “ I'm busy right now, whatcha need?”
Angel paused and took a good look at the room. It was a complete mess. Clothes were everywhere and everything else looked like it was thrown around in a fit of pure rage. One thing that stood out to the angel was the mirror that stood on their desk was shattered. Devil must've been really angry.
“I just wanted to make sure you were okay, you sounded like you got hurt or something”
“ I'm so angry that i'm not sure what i broke, but i broke something and now my hands bleeding and it HURTS OWOWOWOWOW” That's when angel noticed their hand. There were several cuts on it, jam oozing out of the wounds and dripping on the floor.
“ Here lemme go get some bandages or something okay? Just calm down and i’ll patch you up”
“ I can PATCH myself up, I don't need YOUR help”
Angel was shocked. Sure devil is a loud person, but they usually never snap, or yell at angel to this extreme, “ Hey! I just want to help you… you don't need to yell at me”
“ Since when do you care about me yelling? I always yell” They started heading towards the kitchen. Angel followed them, slowly getting angry itself. Why cant devil be nicer sometimes?
“ Yea, you're a generally loud person, and I get that, but you usually don't yell AT me. That makes me upset.”
“ Well guess what? I’m upset too. And that makes two upset people”
“ Can't you just consider other people's feelings for once?! You don't need to take your anger out on me! What did I do?!”
“ Exist”
“What?”
“ I'm JOKING geez, learn to take a joke… in all seriousness though, I don't know what you've done… I just don't need your clinginess right now. I need to take care of my wound”
Angel actually looked a bit hurt. “ I'm sorry, I just wanted to be helpful and comfort you, and you're just getting frustrated with me,” there was a sad quietness to its voice.
The Devil had a guilty look on their face. They don't want to hurt their sibling, but those feelings were washed over with an overwhelming amount of anger that couldn't be controlled.
Devil snapped, “ well… you're NOT being helpful and if anything all you're doing is being an annoying little PEST who ALWAYS gets in my way!! So, for once in your goddamn life, STAY OUT OF MY WAY!!”
Angel has never been more hurt in its life. Tears were building up in its baby blue eyes.
It finally spoke words with genuine pain in its voice, “ ..why do you hate me so much? I-I thought we were… you know… family?” Angel broke. It started sobbing as it ran up to its room, leaving Devil alone with their thoughts.
“ shit…” they muttered to themselves, “ ugh whatever… im still bleeding , i need to wrap up my hand”
They grabbed the gause and started wrapping their hand, feeling regretful of the things they said.
“ Was I too harsh on it? I mean angel cookie usually never cries…” (yes devil cookie you were in fact too harsh) “ I should go talk to it” They headed to angel’s room. The door was cracked open just enough for devil to see their sibling huddled under blankets crying. They knock on the door
“ Hello, you in there?” devil spoke softly. Angel decided to ignore them, but the crying had stopped. Devil realized they fucked up big time.
They sighed, “ I understand why dont want to talk to me, but please listen. I'm sorry for lashing out at you, you don't deserve it, and I shouldn't let my anger takeover me like that. There's more I want to say, but I can't put it into words just yet… my brain feels all fried. I don't expect forgiveness, just that you are hopefully listening to me.”
Angel peeked out from under the blankets, teary eyes staring at the devil, “ you… you really mean it?”
“ Yes… I do, and… I don't hate you either.”
Angel sniffled, “ It's okay I forgive you Devil.” It got up and hugged the devil cookie, “ I love you so much…”
Devil returns the hug, “ I love you too angel,”
“ I'm still sorry about your wound though. Are you sure you don't want help with it?”
“ I wrapped it up but… I wouldn't mind you wrapping it up a bit tighter.”
“ okay! I’ll help, Besides I think you wrapped it a bit incorrectly… but it's okay!I'll fix it!” Angel cookie starts floating towards the kitchen, devil following close behind.
“ Well what did I do to wrap it incorrectly? I don't see a problem with it other than being a bit loose”
Angel giggled, “ you wrapped it so loose that it won't do much help,” It unwraps the bandages off of devil cookies arm, and rewraps it, this time looking more tight and organized. “ There ya go, much better! This will help you more and will last longer.”
Devil chuckles, “ Thanks for being here for me I guess… who else will wrap my bandages?”
“ Ha! Not you that's for sure,” Angel pokes at devil playfully, “ Buuut, I can teach you so that when i'm not home, you can wrap yourself”
Devil pokes Angel back,” Only if ya want to teach lil ol’ me! Hehe, but for now I'm good… I should clean up the mess in my room, I don't need whatever hurt my hand all over the house.``
“ Okay, I guess I'll teach you some other day! If you need any help with your room though, let me know!”
Devil thought for a bit, “ yea I wouldn’t mind some help, and some company… I’m still feeling a bit upset, but not angry though”
Angel felt bad for its sibling, “ okay. Do you maybe wanna talk about what made you so upset? If you don't want to, that's fine, I understand. But it might help”
They let out a sigh, “ it’s just that … Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes your way? Yea it was one of those days, and I get angry when it happens”
“oh, I get ya. Those days suck. But, when I have those days, you usually help make them better! Especially with your stupid silly chaotic moments” The both of them giggled to themselves
“ yea i guess it’s nice to have someone there for ya! Do ya want to do something stupid and not worry about the mess in my room?”
Angel lets out something reminiscent of an evil laugh, “ yeah! Stupid stuff, goooo!!!!”
“ HAHAHA!! Yessssss!! Race ya to your room!!” They start flying to Angel's room, Angel following after them in the midst of a giggle fit. Devil makes it into the angel's room first and belly flops onto the bed.
“ beat ya!!! Ya lame o loser!!!”
Angel scoffs, “ wooow okay, I see how it is!” It jumps on the bed and grabs one of its many stuffed animals, “ Take this” It throws the plush playfully at devil cookie.
“ Oh yea! IT'S ON!” Devil grabs a pillow and whacks angel with it.
“ OH EM GEE!” Angel pretended to be in shock, and then proceeded to throw another plushie at Devil, “ muahahahaha! Take that!” it hovered in the air, another plushie in hand.
‘ You're so evil, you know that?”
“ yea and?” Angel laughed. Devil takes a pillow and throws it at an angel, knocking down its plush.
“Shoot! Well.. have a taste of your own medicine!” It takes the pillow and chucks it at the demon, perhaps a bit too hard, as devil cookie gets knocked off the bed and lands face first on the floor. Angel froze in disbelief. Did it really just do that?
“ I'M OKAY I PROMISE”
“ OH MY GODS I THOUGHT I KILLED YOU SORRY-” Angel was interrupted with the sound of devil’s laughter.
“ Well you didn't ya dork! Buuuuut you're totally getting it now” Devil chucks various pillows and plushies at angel cookie.
“ This is the end, the end… of angel cookies…” It gracefully flops on the floor, accepting its plushie ridden “death”
“ Okay whatever, happy dying!” The Devil stood there for a moment, realizing what they've done, “ Oh shit i killed it! What should I do?”
Angel whispered just loud enough for devil to hear “ gotta hide the body now”
“ Oh yea!” They grab an angel by the ankles and start dragging it to the closet, “ Thanks for reminding me angel… wait a minute, dead people don’t talk… or do they??” Angel slowly rises off the floor, its arms laid in front of it.
“ well thats because now I'm a ZOMBIE ANGEL '' It makes zombie noises as it stands up.
“ oh sup my dude!! Oh wait you’re a zombie! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!” They head towards the living room to escape, Angel chasing after them, making silly zombie noises.
“ Gimme your braaaiiinnnsss!! Or whatever is left of them-”
“ HEY I GOT BRAINS!! I mean no I don’t so you can’t get me HAHA!!!”
Angel laughs, breaking character, “ whatever, Nerd, imma get your brains soon!”
Devil scrambles onto the couch, “ AHH NO DONT EAT ME!”
“ Muahaha! I'm gonna get you” It struggles to crawl on the couch. The two of them were having genuine fun. Perhaps for the first time in a while.
“ Uhhhh… what are you two doing??” Angel and devil paused. Fire spirit cookie was standing there, confused. He must have been watching for a bit.
“ Oh hi dad! I was just about to eat devil’s brains” Angel responded, still i character
“ yea and it’ll eat yours next!” Devil took the opportunity to run away.
Angel hesitated on whether it wanted to go after devil cookie or the great fire spirit.
“ uhhh, BLARG! I'M A ZOMBIEEE!!” It waddled towards fire spirit, making zombie noises
“ oh you’re really dedicated to this zombie act, too bad for you though cuz I can burn you up right here and now haha!!”
“ Oh no! Not fire powers, you'll melt my zombie face” angel cookie chuckles evilly, slowly turning towards devil with a wicked smile, “ fine, guess I'll I'll for you again! BLARGG IT'S ZOMBIE TIME!!!”
Devil faces fire spirit, “ dad!! How could you betray me?!?” They turn to angel, “Ugh I guess you can kill me so we can team up and dad together”
Angel gasped, “ that's a really good idea!” It grabs devil and pretends to bite their arm and eat their brains.
“ YEA!! I mean BLEEEEEH!!” The two of them slowly creep towards fire spirit.
“ guys guy guys, spare me and you’ll get an ice cream, huh, how does that sound?”
Angel thinks for a second, “ Is it brain flavored?”
“ Yea, well only eat brain flavored ice cream, tough I guess I’ll eat liver flavor too” Devil joined in
“ Yeah nope!” Fire spirit makes a run for it.
“ GET HIM!!” Angel chases after him. Devil attempts to tackle fire spirit cookie but misses.
“ HAHAHAHAHA YOU MISSED YOU STUPID ZOMBIE” Fire spirit said confidently. Little did he know, angel was about to tackle him from behind.
“ BARGARARARARGHGHHFFF” Angel tackles fire spirit to the floor.
“ Oh no please! spare me!! I have a busy life of being the best legendary, you can’t kill me!!”
Angel paused its shenanigans , “ well wouldn't you be an even BETTER legendary if you had fire powers AND zombie powers?”
“ You can be a fire zombie god with two awesome zombie kids!!!” devil chimed in.
“ alright you convinced me, TAKE ME AWAY SWEET DEATH”
“ Yippee!!” The two kids pretend to eat their dad’s brains.
“ Blaaargh, Im dead now”
“ Hooray zombie dad!!” The kids both cheered. Fire spirit cookie took his two kids and snuggled with them on the floor, the three of them filled with pure joy. Maybe today wasn't such a bad day after all.
