Beelzebub sat under a large tree, staring out into a field in front of them. Life was easy for them, respect God’s wishes and don’t commit any sins; Beelzebub found this very boring after a while, nothing new happened everything was the same each day. Their only solace was speaking with an angel, an archangel to be exact. They didn’t mean to speak to him, originally they just watched him from afar, observing what he would do. One day he must have caught them staring because he called them over.
“I, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be watching i was just….” Beelzebubs voice trailed off while they tried to hide their face.
Gabriel began to smile while he stood up. “Do you want to see what im doing?” Beelzebub slowly nodded and walked closer towards him. Gabriel began to open a large scroll full of names and notes. “Each day I go to my fellows archangel’s and ask them if they need letters sent, I write down to who the letter is from and for and then i write the message and deliver it!” He said with a smile. It was a genuine smile, like he enjoyed what he did.
“So you do that everyday? Doesn’t it get a little boring?” ask Beelzebub with great intrige.
“Not at all” Gabe said with a laugh. “Do you know what the angels say to each other? They gossip continuously about one another and to one another, it’s a new story each day and i get to know it! I mean they’re supposed to use my letters for important documents and important conversations but nobody checks them so they’ve just started to use them to talk when they can’t in person.” Beelzebub began to laugh a little, the idea that the archangels bitched about each other was a hilarious idea to them because of how often they would make themselves see high and mighty.
They would continue to talk with each other for sometime that day until a fellow angel had approached them. “Excuse me, cherubim Beelzebub? We do have that,” The angel began to use air quotes “meeting today. Are you going to join us?”
Beelzebub stood up quickly. “Is it already that late? I’m sorry i’ll get going.” They began to walk with the angel before turning back towards Gabriel and asking “Do you want to come with us?” They walked back over and whispered to him “Lucifer has had some big idea’s lately about these new things God is making, you know the humans, you should come with us!”
Gabe looked away and quietly replied “Me and Lucifer don’t exactly… get along well, i don’t think it would work out that well, but you go on and have fun. If your here tomorrow you can meet me here again.” He smiled back towards her.
Beelzebub looked somewhat dejected but told him goodbye and agreed to meet him there the next day, which they did for several months.

“Have you tried these yet? They’re so delicious! I can see why God made them” said Beelzebub eating another strawberry. Gabe laughed and picked one up.
“You know, I never really eat food, I mean what’s the point of it? It’s not like we really need to eat to survive” Beelzebub stopped eating and looked over at him in shock. “It’s not about if we need it, it’s just…fun! C’mon try one with me.” They said handing him a bowl full of the fruit.
Gabe looked down at the bowl, sighed, and picked up one of the strawberries and ate it. “So…” Beelzebub started “Do you like it? This is my favorite thing that she’s made so far!” they asked with eyes wide. “It’s…pretty good i have to say.” Gabe replied. “Maybe ill try more food with you in the future.”

Beelzebub sighed as another leak began above their head. There had been four new burst pipes today, however this was the first one in their office. They grabbed the phone and began to call someone down to fix this one. After an hour of arguing with the plumber they finally were able to hang up the phone. “Why don’t we ever reliable plumbers down here…” As Beelzebub got back to work they heard a knock at their door.
“Excuse me Lord Beelzebub?” Asked Dagon walking into the room. “It shows in the records that you have been sending messages to heaven, may i ask what for?”
“I was seeing if they had any better luck with their traitor up there than we did.” replied Beelzebub nonchalantly. “And did they?” “No. I am going to keep in communication with them however to try and devise a new plan for what we should do with both of them.” “whatever you think is best, my lord, I shall let you be then.” And as quickly as Dagon entered, she left.
Beelzebub put their head on the desk in front of them and sighed. They slowly lifted their head and turned towards a stack of blank paper, picked up a pen, and began to write another letter to Gabriel.
“Want to get more drinks tonight?” They wrote knowing he’d respond quickly.
A note came down almost instantaneously. “With the amount your drinking you’re seeming to be what i think the humans call an alcoholism.” Beelzebub laughed to themselves and wrote back “You mean alcoholic, and so is that a no?” After a few minutes they finally got another note “how about we go for a walk instead, we can actually talk sober with each other.” This as a thought terrified Beelzebub, the last time they talked with Gabe while sober was on a battlefield where a war was supposed to happen. Against their better judgement they began to write one last note to him before leaving “Fine i guess, let’s meet at Saint James park then, i’m heading out now. And for Satans sake please don’t wear that dumb track suit, i can’t believe you wore that to a bar.” They sent the letter up and started to leave.
