In the very early hours of New Year's Day, a party that was once large and wild, is now growing smaller and smaller. Few people remain in God's penthouse, all of them crowding around the Lord Herself. The small party consists of God, the Archangel Michael, Honorary Angel V1, V1's friend Jasmin, and a young angel named Lily. Together they sat in the snuggle pile, huddling close as they all slowly grew tired. God sat on the main couch of the area, wearing a luxurious dark teal dress, with a sweetheart neckline, over a thin black turtleneck that covered Her hands, with soft glittering makeup adorning Her face. He wore a few golden bracelets, as well as some earrings that were sadly covered by His long, teal hair. Black tights and small black heels cover His legs, overall making His outfit quite dark, bringing out the colorful dress He wore on top of it all. Michael was positioned lying down on the floor, surrounded by cushions and pillows, holding one in his arms. His form was mostly obscured, though he wore a dark bodysuit underneath a long dress, colored the same blue as his wings and halo. The dress had long slits along the legs that extended all the way to his upper thigh. He looked tired, barely able to keep his soft blue eyes open. His long, light blonde hair was pretty much everywhere, covering parts of his pale face. V1 was sitting on the floor, facing the main couch, not far from Michael, as she was softly playing with the archangel's hair. She wore a short black dress, which had a small V neckline. Along the edge of the skirt were small golden dots, growing smaller as they left the skirt's hem. It wore short black gloves as well, adding a bit more flavor to the outfit, its wedding band and engagement ring sitting over the glove. Under the dress, it wore black shorts, and a black bra that was lovingly stuffed with breast forms in order to give it B cups. Jasmin was lying down as well, gently resting her head on a pillow she had placed in V1's lap. For reference, Jasmin was a sentry that had been modified to have some semblance of actual arms. She wasn't wearing anything, other than a golden bow which she had attached to her chest with a bit of double sided tape. She held V1's hand with both of her hands, which were small in comparison to his. Lily was sitting next to God, seeming quite restless in comparison to everyone else in the room. She looked to be a young adult, lacking the wrinkles of God and Michael. Her skin was light, having yellowish undertones, like the skin of God Himself. Lily further matched God as her facial features carried east asian elements. Her hair was yellow with streaks of orange, and dark black roots. She wore a black blazer over a frilly white top, matching black pants, and cute black flats. She had an enamel pin of a pink dahlia on the lapel of the blazer. The young angel flings herself backward, hitting the back cushions of the grey couch with a soft thud. "I'm fucking bored!!" "Language, Lil." Michael kicks a leg up at Lily, sounding slightly groggy and drunk. She softly scowls at him, though he can't exactly make out her face. "We could play Uno, I'm pretty sure we still have all of the cards." God softly takes a sip of red wine from a wine glass after She speaks. "WHAT, DID SOMEONE START EATING THE UNO CARDS?" "No, sadly some got lost when some of us started cheating. I am not going to name names, but a few of my most esteemed angels started to cheat their way to winning at Uno. Ruined family game night when I found out." "WERE ANY OF THOSE ANGELS MY HUSBAND?" "I am not going to name names." "Well I'm gonna name names here, I saw Gabe shoving cards in between the cushions one time. We never found blue 2 and I personally blame him." V1 giggles, as God softly pushes Lily forward. "Go get the cards sweetie." "Fine." Lily gets up, carefully stepping over all the sillies on the floor, making her way into the main lounge to find the cabinet where all the games were stored. Michael rises up, stretching himself out as he does so. V1 softly nudges Jasmin to get her up as well. At first, the sentry doesn't budge. "UP, JASMIN. YOU ARE PLAYING UNO WITH US." "What if I HATED Uno?" "YOU WOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING ALREADY. NOW GET UP." She continues to nudge Jasmin, until she gets up, shifting about in order to sit comfortably. V1 decides to shift as well, sitting criss cross apple sauce. The last drops of red wine sitting in the glass that God held are quickly swallowed, as She gets up to go put Her glass in the dishwasher. Once God is far enough, Michael leans toward V1 and whispers to her. "I'll give you 50 dollars if you cheat." "NICE TRY." It shoves him away, as Lily returns to the group, shuffling the set of UNO cards that she had found. As Michael had previously stated, the blue 2, and a small handful of other cards were missing from the deck. She sits down, waiting for God to return to the couch so they could start the game. The teenage angst never really left her, as her face is constantly frowning. God begins to walk back to the snuggle pile, the dishwasher now active and cleaning all the dishes and silverware that was used that night. Michael rises up further to softly poke Lily's face. "What's with the frowny face, hm? You know you'll get wrinkles quicker by frowning all the time." "I'm not taking advice from someone who's halfway drunk!" "I give my best advice while half drunk!" He flops back down onto the ground, as Lily's frown softens, though it still stays present. The clacking sound of heels against the tiled floor indicate God's return. He sat back down where He was sitting before, next to Lily, though she had herself turned toward Him slightly. He silently grabbed the cards from Lily, mouthing a thank you as He shuffled the cards further. "Everyone here is familiar with the rules of Uno, correct?" "Yes ma'am." "YEAH." "Mhm." "I've never played, so no." God's eyes would briefly seem to sparkle. As She speaks, She displays the cards She talks about, and deals out everyone's hands. He isn't playing, so He does not deal Himself a hand. "I shall explain the basics then. Each player is given 7 cards, and they must try to eliminate all of the cards from their hand. Once a player is left with one card, they must shout out Uno, lest they be punished by having to draw 2 cards, therefore negating their Uno. To discard cards, you must match either the number or the color of the card in the discard pile. Certain cards have actions, such as reverse, skip, draw 2, and the wild cards, which let you pick a color to change the discard pile to. Reverse changes the turn order, and skip will skip the next player's turn. Speaking of the turn order, I believe we shall go from Lily first, going clockwise from my perspective. So the order goes Lily, Jasmin, V1, Michael. Are we ready then?" Michael nods, V1 gives a thumbs up. "Yep!" "Mhm." "Perfect." God drops the remaining cards on the floor, drawing the first card and creating the discard pile. "Let there be Uno." The first card is a red 7, so Lily puts down a red 4. Jasmin sadly doesn't have any red cards, but she has a yellow 4! Down it goes, changing the playing color to yellow. V1 briefly narrows her eye, softly putting down a yellow 9. "I don't have any yelloooow." Michael is forced to draw from the deck. He still doesn't have any yellow, so he draws again. Finally, a yellow 7 is placed down. Lily is quick to toss down a yellow 5, moving onto Jasmin who places down a yellow 3. V1 decides to play a blue 3, changing the color once more. im not writing a whole fucking uno scene fuck OFF we're skipping to the end this happens to lily at some point tho "UNO!" Michael's voice sounds almost screechy as he holds one final card. The rest of the cards played does not matter, as Michael's final card was a draw 4. Lily sighs, drawing four cards as the game ends. "Absolutely riveting! Everyone that is still with cards, face them upwards." At His command, everyone places their cards on the ground, facing upward. He looks over the piles of cards, silently tallying the final scores. "Michael has won, only by a few points. What brilliant luck! Do we want to play another round?" "IT'S 3:27 AM, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT." "I should head out then, it's been really fun hanging out with you guys though!" "BYE JAS!" "Byeee!" God and Jasmin both stand up, with the Lord guiding Jasmin outside. He shakes her hand before she leaves, since He knows it will be a while before Jasmin will come here again. She returns to the rest of Her guests, softly crossing Her arms over behind Her back, grabbing Her left wrist with Her right hand. "Are you going to be staying overnight, Vic?" "I THINK SO, YEAH." "Wonderful, let's get you all to bed then." He waits for everyone to get up, soon moving to assist Michael as he was struggling to stand straight. Lily is first to start heading to the elevator, with V1, God and Michael trailing behind. The elevator is called by the single push of a button, the group slowly crowding around it while they wait for it to arrive. The wait isn't long, as the elevator soon dings to indicate its arrival. Lily steps on, pressing the buttons for floors 1 and 3. She holds the door for the other passengers, once they have all boarded she spams the door close button. The elevator rises from the 'ground' floor, stopping at the first floor, which was where Lily's bedroom was. "Goodnight sweetie!" Lily didn't respond, instead walking off to her room as the elevator doors closed. The elevator rises again, to the third floor now. V1 holds the door open as God slightly drags Michael out. "Thank you, Vic. Do you want a second outfit to go home in, doll? I can grab you something after I get Michael to bed." It steps out, walking just ahead of the Lord and Her angel as it thought about its answer to Her question. "UH, SURE. I DON'T THINK I REALLY WANT TO GO HOME IN THIS BUT UHH I DO NEED TO WEAR SOMETHING. I DON'T WANT TO DISTRACT GABRIEL..." "I think I have just the thing for you, we'll talk more in a bit. Go get yourself settled, sweets." He softly pats V1's head, before opening the door to Michael's room. V1 is off to go do what the Lord had asked of him, making his way into Gabriel's bedroom. He takes his gloves off and places them down on the vanity in the room, removing his wedding band and engagement ring briefly before putting them back on his now degloved hand. Silently, he waits for God to come back. It takes a few minutes, but He does return with a shirt for the machine. It's a black t-shirt with a Bass Pro Shops logo on the front, and a hole in the back for her wings to poke out through. It is slightly oversized, but V1 likes her t-shirts that way. She grabs the shirt from God, her eye indicating that the shirt made her happy. "Is there anything else you need from me?" "NOT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU, MAMA." At first, V1 didn't register what they had said. Not until God scooped V1 up in Her arms, glad to be V1's mama. God places the machine down, smiling. "Goodnight sweetheart." "GOODNIGHT MOM." He leaves the room, shutting the door behind Himself. V1 softly giggles at her mistake-turned-nickname, as she takes her dress off and replaces it with the t-shirt she was given. Though, just before she puts the shirt on, she quickly takes a selfie in nothing but what was under the dress, staring at the camera with a soft sultry expression. She knew exactly what she was doing, and she loved every second of it. She slips into the shirt and sends the selfie off to the group chat she shared with her husbands. She sends 2 messages along with the image. [goodnight 💙] [or good morning, since you two should be asleep now. 💙💙] It turns its phone off, gently putting it on one of the bedside tables, before crawling into the neatly made bed. V1 snuggles into a nice position, wiggling around as much as she pleases as she doesn't have to worry about hitting someone. Eventually, the machine drifts off to sleep. He doesn't dream tonight, merely sleeping silently. As he rests, the sun rises, all the way up to its highest point. The afternoon soon arrives, and so do some more guests. God rises up to the third floor with help of the elevator, quickly making His way to Gabriel's room, where V1 was still sleeping. Softly, He shakes and speaks to them in order to wake them up. "Good morning, sweetie. I've got two people in the lobby waiting just for you." He stops shaking the machine once its eye opens. "I'll leave you to wake up. You know how to get to the lobby, don't fall back to sleep now." He briefly holds V1's hand, only letting go as He leaves the room to go back down to the lobby. V1 sits up and watches as God walks down the hall, soon getting up out of bed, stretching as it did so. It grabs its phone off of the table it had placed it on, unlocking it to read messages that were sent while it slept. [Good morning ❤️] [that pic of you is not only gorgeous but is also responsible for making gabey go crazy for at least 10 minutes.] [i went a little crazy too tbh anyways post more pics like this in the future] She giggles, getting up from the bed and making her way down to the lobby. At first she walks slowly, but she quickens her pace as she wakes up further. He stops at the elevator, calling it up. It takes a minute to arrive, though V1 didn't mind the wait. Soon it would ding, and V1 would board the elevator once its doors opened. Pressing the button to go back down to 'ground,' a brief interruption emerges as Michael rushes out of his room. V1 moves to hold the elevator open as he screams. "WAIT!!" The angel manages to board in time, V1 stepping back into the cart with him. He sighs in relief, leaning against the elevator's railing as it begins its descent. Soon, the elevator reaches 'ground.' The doors open, and the occupants exit, Michael heading toward the kitchen as V1 headed to the lobby. She opens the door leading to it, stepping through. "Ah, there she is!" God looks over at V1, smiling as She does so. Her words brought attention to V1, who stood in her silly little shirt. V2 approached her, swinging an arm around her and walking with her to Gabriel. He whispers to her as they walk. "(MORNIN', SEXY.)" V1 giggles as they stop next to Gabriel. "We will see you again soon. Love you." "Stay safe out there!" God waves and returns inside to tend to other responsibilities, as Gabriel heads to the main elevator. He calls it down while the Vs walk over. V2 lets go of V1, gently gripping the collar of her shirt. "YOU LOOK HOT IN THIS SHIRT, THOUGH I WOULD PREFER IT IF YOU TOOK IT OFF." "Could you stop flirting with her in God's sacred palace? Save it for the car ride." "FINE, BUT DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DIDN'T GO STUPID OVER A PHOTO OF HER." The shirt collar is released, causing it to softly snap back into its original position. V2 stands at V1's side now, V1 soon resting her head on his shoulder as they all wait. Luckily, the main elevator soon arrives, the cart being completely empty. The three step on, with Gabriel pressing the button for the true ground floor. V1, unable to truly kiss, softly nuzzles V2. She still feels ever so slightly tired, however. V2 returns the gesture, talking as he does so. "VEE, STOP BEING SO DAMN CUTE." "I WILL FOREVER BE THE CUTEST." "Please don't say damn either." "WE AREN'T EVEN IN HER HOUSE ANYMORE!" "Yes, but-" "STOP BEING SO STUFFY ABOUT RULES." "He was once 'stuffy' about rules, and I will uphold those values even if He doesn't." "HEY-" "I HATE THAT ABOUT YOU. YOU'RE SOOO TRADITIONAL AND PRISSY ABOUT-" "Prissy?!" "PRISSY." "HEY!" Attention turns to V1, as she takes a step away from V2, now backed into the literal corner of the elevator. Her wings stick up and out, preventing her from going too deep into the corner. "ARE WE SERIOUSLY GOING TO FIGHT AS OUR FIRST GROUP ACTIVITY OF THE NEW YEAR? IS THAT THE VIBE WE'RE GOING FOR?" Her voice somehow feels slightly strained, as if she is about to start crying. And perhaps she would cry, if she was able to. "PLEASE I. i didn't get married just to get divorced a year later, i..." Its voice softens as its wings lower. It has let fear control it, immediately thinking of the worst possible situation. "NO- V1 WE. WE'RE NOT GETTING A DIVORCE, BABE." V2 grabs its hand as Gabriel comes in to hug it. He picks it up as the elevator's doors open, as they have reached their floor. He floats off with it in his arms, V2 at his side. "I am so incredibly sorry that we made you even think that was going to happen, sweetie. We love you so much." V1 attempts to bury her face in the back of Gabriel's neck. It doesn't really work. "LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER WE LEFT, VIC?" V2 tries to get V1's mind out of its panicky state before it gets worse. The trio exit the building as V1 begins to talk, still sounding vaguely upset. "WE MOSTLY CHATTED, MOVED TO THE SNUGGLE PILE SINCE MIKE NEEDED TO LIE DOWN, UHH THEN WE PLAYED UNO. MIKE WON, JASMIN LEFT AND WE ALL WENT TO BED. GOD GAVE ME THIS SHIRT TO GO HOME IN AND I ACCIDENTALLY CALLED HIM MAMA." "Oh, the Lord loves it when people call Him Mom or Dad. I've never seen Him as happy as when I first called Him mom. Now what seat are you sitting in, sweets?" "I'LL SNUGGLE WITH YOU IN THE BACK, VEE." "I GUESS THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION." Gabriel softly lowers V1 to the ground, entering the drivers side. V1 and V2 hop in the back, V2 quick to grab V1's hand after she buckles herself in. The car starts up and Gabriel starts driving off, as V2 changes the topic again. "KIND OF MAD YOU PLAYED UNO WITHOUT ME. LIKE. SO DISRESPECTFUL!" "Wait, did Mom buy a new packet, or are we still missing a fifth of the cards?" "SAME OLD CARDS, ALTHOUGH I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING SOME OF THEM TO GO MISSING." "I was not! Who told you that?" "MIKE DID. HE PERSONALLY BLAMES YOU FOR LOSING BLUE 2." "SHOULD WE BUY HER A NEW UNO DECK FOR CHRISTMAS?" "NAH, WE'LL GET HER SOME CHEAP BATH SET." "We must give God only the most grand of gifts. That being said, let's give her a single slice of cheese." "WHY ARE WE THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS IT'S FUCKING JANUARY." "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS VEE." "I WANT MURDER." V2 laughs at V1's silly Christmas wish, still softly giggling as he asks his question to Gabriel. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS GABE." "Hmm. I want a 50 dollar bill, tucked inside a card meant for a 7 year old girl's birthday. What about you, V2? What do you want for Christmas?" "I WANT TO ███████ ████ WITH BOTH OF YOU, VEE IS █████ ████ IN ████████ ██████, NO ████████ ██████, GABE ████████ ███ ███████ ████ MY █████ AND █████████ ███████ ████████. THAT'S WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS." Where you see strings of █, V2 was making a loud beeping noise. He was 'censoring' himself in order to be funny. "WE WILL SO DO THAT FOR CHRISTMAS." "Absolutely." V1 stares into V2's optic, softly squeezing their hand as it did so. V2 attempts to lean in to kiss V1, though they struggle since the car is moving them around. V1 meets them halfway, both machines speaking in unison. "MWAMWAH." Whenever they kiss in unison, both machines get just a tiny bit sillier. That's what true love is to them, speaking at the exact same microsecond. V1 leans back into her seat, giggling and covering the lower half of her face with her free hand. V2 flops fully into the middle seat, squeezing V1's hand. She stops covering her face, and softly pats their head. "SILLY. SILLY LITTLE THING YOU ARE." fic ends in a car crash or some shit idfk im done writing this shit. they all survive the crash happily ever after happy fucking new oh god it's january 3rd
