It's time to forget about the past

[servingfather]

Who: Michael and Anna
When: Tonight
Where: Anna's apartment
Summary: Two angels need to have a chat but things are never that simple with this family.
Warnings: Family drama

[There was no pomp and circumstance when he arrives in Anna's apartment, there wasn't a need for it as she'd sense his presence. Michael moves closer to his sister.

Maybe it's the urge to make sure all of his siblings were alright with his borrowed eyes, or maybe it was because what he had to say was better in a face-to-face conversation. This wasn't something Michael just did, after all.]

Good evening, Anna. I need to have a few words with you. Are you busy?

[If she wasn't then it would best not to send him away because this conversation was going to happen.]

Comments

[Normally the only time those words came out of his mouth was with sympathy towards someone else's issues. Never before could he see that he had so much to apologize for. He shakes his head.]

If I had been a better brother rather than a leader you wouldn't have had to take matters into your own hands. I can't go back and fix everything and I wouldn't blame you if you never forgave me but I wanted you to know that I am sorry.

[socius]

[There's a long moment of silence.]

Apology accepted. ... But I can't forgive you, yet. [And wow is it weird and terrifying and such a rush to say such a thing.]

[servingfather]

[It's more than he was expecting, the possibility of being forgiven.]

If you let me, I'd like to be the brother you should have had.

[socius]

[...More long pausing.]

That might be a little weird. [--Wait.] Not in a bad way.

[servingfather]

[There's a slight smile, not one of the ones he puts on for show either.]

It'll be different, maybe even a little hard at times but I truly do want us all to have a better relationship.

[socius]

[Yeah, still weirding her out here, bro.]

..I'm not actually trying to cut the moment short, but you seemed like you wanted to talk about more than just an- that, when you came here. Unless... [She was reading too much into it? But come on, she knows when any of her siblings have something on their mind. Right now, she just feels .. ballsy enough to maybe ask about it.]

[servingfather]

[Anna's right when she brought up the subject of what he had wanted to say before.]

Father spoke to me. It wasn't the thing that you saw, it was Him. There weren't any orders - we talked and he gave me advice. I think... [He pauses then.] I think if you spoke to Father that He'd answer.
