Day pushed God out of his space and turned to walk away without another word.Oh no you dont, God snarled before grabbing Day around his waist and pulling him back into the darkness of the alley. He pushed Day up against the brick wall and pressed his forehead hard against his. You think Im just going to let you walk off?Yep. Just like you did this morning, Day replied without a second thought.Hed be damned if that response didnt hurt like hell. He kept their foreheads touching but lost some of his anger. I apologized for that.You sent me a goddamn text message, coward. Now get off me. Im going homealone now, thanks to you, Day hissed.You were really going to fuck that guy? God asked incredulously.Youre goddamn right I was, Day retorted.Even though youre in love with me?Why did God say that? He watched his partners face go from mad to stark-raving livid. Before he could process what was happing, Day had caught him with a right punch twice to his rib cage making him cry out in pain at his already tender ribs.Fuck! God yelled as he was shoved backward hard enough to almost knock him off balance since he was already doubled over.Cant believe you just said that, asshole, Day said while moving in on him again. Think Im going to let you string me along?God held his ribs and put one hand up to stop Days approach but it was useless. Day dropped like a martial arts master and did a backward spin kick, effectively knocking both Gods legs from under him and sending him crashing to the groundand two-hundred and fifty pounds hitting the asphalt really hurt.The bigger they are, the harder they fucking fall, Day snarled, and began to move in again.What the fuck?God knew Day was quick, hed seen him in action too many times. Gods only defense was his muscle, but he had to get his hands on Day first, which wouldnt be easy. God rolled and came up off the ground, quicker than Day expected, and he caught Days left punch in mid-throw and spun him around. He yanked Day into his chest but took a hard elbow to his right cheek with Days right arm before he was able to secure it with the other one.Enough, God growled in his ear. Days back was pressed hard against Gods chest, while God held both hands tightly in front of him. Stop fighting me.No, Day snapped.Stop fighting me, Leo. Because I love you too, God said, his lips pressed firmly against Days ear. You cant fuck that other guy because youre mine, he whispered.God felt Days body go limp in his tight hold and he took the opportunity to spin him around to face him. He looked into soft hazel eyes and lost himself. I do, sweetheart. I think I may always have. I just didnt know it until after you walked out of my apartment this morning. God took a deep breath and shook his head, his eyes squeezed shut at the vision that popped up. After I hurt you.Day didnt pull away, but God could see the hurt was still there. Man, how he wished he could take it all back. He swore he would have done it all differently. Leo. Please forgive me. Im so sorry, and I promise Ill never put my hands on you in anger again. God watched Day for any signs of forgiveness. Days head was down, he was still as a rock, and he still hadnt spoken.God released Days arms, took one hand and slowly lifted Days chin so he could look into those beautiful eyes again. Days eyes were moist but focused.Say something, sweetheart. Tell me you forgive me. Tell me you love me, or tell me to go to hell, just say something, God begged, the silence driving him mad.God was beginning to think hed really lost his best friend until Day finally spoke. I usually dont like endearments but I think I like you calling me sweetheart.
