“Pathetic!” Sebastian cackled, leering up at Kevin and wiping some of the blood from his face.
“Your mom is pathetic!” Kevin snapped back, gritting his teeth as he pulled the sword out. Blood dripped from the blade as he clutched it in his left hand, hoping he could still fight with this hand.
“My mother was a foul succubus of Satan. She was absolutely pathetic right up until the moment I cut off her head.” Sebastian pointed his sword at Kevin. “Now, I’m going to send you to her.”
Kevin flew back to the rock, diving down and slashing awkwardly at Sebastian’s sword. Sebastian easily deflected it, and he leapt up to hack at Kevin’s side, drawing blood. Hissing angrily, Kevin veered away from him before swooping back in, hoping to hit any part of Sebastian that he could.
Sebastian easily parried and swung back at Kevin, barely missing him. He was on the offensive now, his sword a blur as he stabbed at Kevin relentlessly.
Kevin was stronger and faster than he’d ever been, but he was getting drained fast. He’d been lucky enough to avoid any other major injuries, but Sebastian was getting a lot of small licks in and the wounds were taking their toll. He was getting slower, and Sebastian was taking him apart, piece by piece.
He had to do something.
Even as blood still poured from his right hand, Kevin switched the sword over. He held it as tightly as he could, giving a few experimental slashes through the air. It hurt horribly, but his arm seemed to know just what to do. This felt good, natural, and though he still didn’t remember anything about being an angel, he was certain he’d been good with a sword.
He smirked down at Sebastian. “Hey, turns out I’m not left-handed.”
“So?” Sebastian scoffed.
“So, I’m about to fuck your whole world up.” Kevin swung the sword with new skill and confidence, driving Sebastian right to the edge of the rock. He could almost see what Sebastian was about to do before he did it, and it only took a few powerful strokes before he knocked the sword from Sebastian’s hand.
“Damn you!” Sebastian howled.
“Oh yeah! I was a real badass.” Kevin grinned as he swooped down, grabbing Sebastian by his throat. He squeezed hard and forced Sebastian to his knees. “Shouldn’t have fucked with my vacation, ass hat.”
Sebastian bared his teeth and then spat in Kevin’s face. “Rot in hell, you befouled prostitute of Lucifer!”
“Speaking of, say hi to your mom for me.” Kevin winked, stepping back and gripping the sword with both hands. He swung, chopping Sebastian’s head clean off. He watched with great satisfaction as it tumbled down the side of the rocks, getting caught in a small dip.
“Did you win?” Percy shouted. “I can’t fucking see!”
Kevin opened his mouth to yell back, but then he thought of something even better. He flew over to where Sebastian’s head had landed, and he grabbed a handful of Sebastian’s hair. He soared into the air, flying toward the beach as he belted out the chorus to “We Are The Champions.” He dropped Sebastian’s head and kicked it, launching it away into the middle of the ocean.
“Nice shot!” Percy clapped.
Kevin glided down to the beach, his wings finally giving out and forcing him to wade through the shallows. Cher came running up to meet him, and he rested his uninjured hand on her back as he trudged up to the beach.
Percy remained on dry sand, smirking as he teased, “Did you have fun, peaches?”
“Yeah! A blast!” Kevin spat some blood out, dragging his wings behind him like a deflated parachute. He collapsed as soon as he reached the sand, laughing as Percy tried to catch him and they both went down. “Shit! Hi!”
Percy wrapped his arms around Kevin tight, murmuring, “My peaches. My sweet peaches.” He dragged Kevin’s head up for a kiss, whispering urgently, “I was so fucking scared.”
“Me too.” Kevin hugged Percy tight, burying his face in his broad chest. “Fuck. But man, you should have seen it. TotalPrincess Bridemoment. I sucked hard core trying to use my left hand sincesomeonestabbed me—”
“It was an accident!”
“—and then I switched to my right hand, and I was awesome!”
“I didn’t stab you! I threw you a weapon so you could stop getting your ass kicked!” Percy stroked Kevin’s hair. “It’s not my fault you decided to catch it with your hand the wrong way.”
“Eat me,” Kevin grumbled, leaning into Percy’s fingers. “Sure didn’t get my ass kicked nearly as bad as you did.”
“Shut up. I had holy water in my eye. It was very unpleasant and oh, right, it fucking blinded me.” Percy snorted. “I’m just glad you’re all right, peaches. I’d be… very upset…” He cleared his throat. “I mean, if anything happened to you. You mean… quite a lot to me.”
“Yeah, yeah. Love you too.” Kevin petted Percy’s cheek. “I’m gonna live, pretty sure. Might need some pizza and demon jizz to get me back to normal, ya’ know.”
Percy’s face was curiously blank, and he pressed a hand over Kevin’s, his eyes bright and glistening with the threat of tears. “I really do, you know. At least, I think I do. As close to that feeling as a fiend like me can feel anyway. It’s a warmth? Sometimes with a bit of nausea? And I can’t imagine feeling this way about anyone else or ever wanting it to stop.”
