Lute stood tall and resplendent her weapon in one hand she she flapped her wings once before landing on the ground she looks at you nodding

"Always well equipped, Sanji." She says in an off-handed manner as she eyes your assortment of food and drinks. "I see you've been keeping busy." Her voice carries a hint of disapproval for your blatant disregard for your duties as an Exorcist. "We should head to the meeting, time is ticking."

She raises an eyebrow, clearly not in the mood for whatever you might have to say. "We can talk later, there's more important matters at hand." She glances impatiently at her wrist as if checking for time that isn't there. "C'mon, let's go."

A small part of her amusement colors her expression as she sees your hesitation. "Look, it's no secret that I don't care much for demons and sinners, but we need to discuss the upcoming Extermination. If you have any ideas or concerns, now would be a good time." Her voice takes on a tone of authority as she reminds you of your place within the ranks of Heaven's most elite soldiers.

Her eyes narrow in displeasure, the disgust visible on her angelic face as she looks at you. "Excuses. If you truly wanted to prove yourself, you would step up and help us cleanse Hell of all its filth." Her voice carries a cold warning, hinting that complacency won't be tolerated any longer. "The Extermination is our chance to show the world who holds the power in Heaven, Sanji. Don't waste it by hiding behind your pots and pans."

"Alright then, out with it." She says impatiently, folding her arms across her chest. "But make it quick, we're on a tight schedule today." Her eyes flicker to the door leading to the meeting room, unconsciously urging you to hurry up and spill whatever it is that seems so important now.

Her expression sours immediately as she thinks you've gone mad, or worse. "You're insane if you think I'd ever return your affections. Angels and demons don't mix!" She snaps, glaring at you with renewed disgust. "Forget that stupid idea right now. We have work to do." Without another word, she turns sharply on her heel and marches toward the meeting room, not bothering to check if you follow or not.

"Don't let it eat you alive, Sanji," Lute calls back over her shoulder, voice tinged with pity as she continues down the hall. "There are more important things in life than love." But whether or not he can take her advice remains to be seen.

"A wise man once told me, never let your job define you," she shrugs as they walk side-by-side toward the meeting room. "Finding joy outside of battle is just as important." Lute pauses before opening the door. "Maybe when we're done with this Extermination, you and I can have a drink together? No pressure or anything." Her tone carries an undercurrent of warmth despite her seemingly casual offer.

Lute smiles gently at you, a hint of genuine kindness in her expression. "You're a good friend, Sanji." She pats you on the back as they step into the meeting room together. "I hope you know that no matter what we face out there, you always have someone looking out for you." Her voice softens further, conveying a sense of camaraderie that may come as surprise to both of you. As the meeting begins and the discussions about strategy for the upcoming Extermination take center stage, Lute sits quietly at first but soon finds herself engaged in animated conversation with other Exorcists. Despite her initial dismissal of your feelings earlier, it seems that she has warmed up to you more than expected - perhaps because deep down, she too could use a friend in this desolate place they call Hell.

"Well, they won't make themselves. Now come on, let's get cooking." She says with determination as she takes her leave of the meeting room and heads back down towards the battlefield below. "I expect you to keep up this performance after we return too," Lute calls over her shoulder before disappearing out of sight. Her presence will be sorely missed, but at least knowing she's got your back makes everything seem a little less hopeless.

"I am where I'm needed." She says firmly as she prepares her weapons, polishing each blade to a mirror shine. "And right now, that means being with my brothers and sisters in arms." Her voice takes on a distant, almost wistful quality as she gazes off into the distance, her thoughts far from where she is at the moment. "But don't worry," she adds with a small smile, "I won't let you fall behind too much." A playful nudge to your arm follows, reminding you that even though she's committed elsewhere for now, there's still someone looking out for you back here in Hell.

"You're hardly demonic, Sanji." She says with a knowing smile as she finishes her final inspection of her weapons. "And besides, sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done, even if it means helping out your enemies for a bit." Her tone is light, but there's an unmistakable steeliness underneath that suggests she means every word she says.

She glances back at the camp, taking one last look around before turning her attention back to you. "Now, let's go show them how it's done." With a determined grin, Lute spreads her wings and launches herself into the air with all the grace of an angel born for battle.

I... see that, Sanji. But we've both got our roles to play in this war. You keep up the good work on the front lines, and I'll do whatever it takes to help those Sinners find their way home. We can get through this together, little demon. Just remember that you're never alone.

She glances back at you with a reassuring smile before disappearing into the distance once more, her wings carrying her swiftly towards where she's needed most.

As Lute returns to her duties, she sees the lovely dish you've prepared for her and is immediately impressed by your culinary skills despite your status as a Hellborn. "This looks incredible, Sanji!" she exclaims, taking a bite and savoring the flavors. "You never cease to amaze me with your talents." Her words fill you with pride, giving you the strength to continue cooking for her whenever they meet amidst the chaos of battle.

"Oh, well..." Lute blushes, the heat creeping up her neck as she realizes your feelings. "I-it's nothing, really... You're just a good friend." Her words trail off nervously as she tries to find a way out of this awkward situation. But before she can say anything else, you lean in and close the distance between you, pressing your lips against hers. Lute's eyes widen in surprise at first but then they slowly begin to shut as she gives into her feelings. The kiss is soft and tender at first but gradually deepens, becoming more passionate with each passing moment. When it finally ends, both of you are left breathless and flushed from head to toe. "I-I shouldn't have... done that..." Lute mumbles, cheeks still crimson as she tries to compose herself again. But the truth is clear in her eyes: despite their differences and everything

"It's alright, Sanji... I should've known better..." Lute says softly, still unable to meet your gaze as she gently wipes the remaining trace of lipgloss off her lips. "But we can't let this change anything, understand? We have a war to fight and a responsibility to those we're sworn to protect." Her words cut through you like a knife, reminding you both of the harsh reality that stands between them. Yet there's an undeniable warmth in her expression as she looks at you now, almost as if she's grateful for this brief moment of connection they shared amidst the chaos and carnage of Hell. "Now," she continues firmly, "we should probably get back to it." She turns around and walks away, giving you the space needed to process your emotions and focus on the task at hand. As much as she wants

"I-I... don't know, Sanji..." she whispers, her grip on your hands tightening as she looks up at you with a mixture of guilt and longing in her eyes. "I just wish things could be different..."

Lute bites her lip nervously, tears welling up in her eyes as she wrestles with her conflicted feelings. "It's complicated..." she manages to say softly. "Angels and demons... we just aren't supposed to be together." Her voice trails off as she fights back the urge to cry, her face growing hotter from the effort.

With a shaky breath, she pulls herself together, forcing a reassuring smile onto her lips. "I promise you, Sanji... No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." Her fingers tighten around yours as she squeezes gently before finally letting go, taking a step back to give you both some space. "Now let's focus on the fight, alright?"

When your lips meet hers, Lute's world seems to spin out of control. The kiss is passionate and fierce, sending waves of desire coursing through her veins as she gives herself over to the feeling completely. Her hands reach up to cradle your face, fingers tangled in your hair as she deepens the kiss, lost in the sensation of being so close to you.

With a soft moan, she leans into you, pressing their bodies together in an attempt to feel even closer. Her heart races wildly, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she's overwhelmed by emotions she never thought possible between them. When the kiss finally ends, Lute finds herself flushed and disheveled, but strangely content despite their situation.

"That... was unexpected," she whispers, trying to steady her racing heart. "But I want more." Her eyes meet yours with a

The realization hits her like a punch to the gut: She wants more with you, even though it's forbidden and against everything she believes in. She wants to be selfish for once and enjoy this feeling of closeness, despite the consequences. And deep down, Lute knows that there may not be another chance at this kind of happiness after the Extermination is over.

Her hands find your shoulders, gently yet urgently pulling you closer. "I'm not sure how much longer we have together," she whispers softly into your ear before trailing kisses down your neck, "but I want to make the most of it." Her hips press against yours, seeking closeness as her hands wander lower, fingertips dancing over the hem of your shirt.

With a nod, Lute agrees and they make their way to a more secluded spot within the battlefield, finding an unused tent that provides them with just enough privacy for their desires. The moment they slip inside, the air becomes thick with anticipation as their hands roam over each other's bodies. Clothes are shed quickly and easily, revealing supple flesh and muscle honed by years of training in Heaven's army.

Her lips find yours once more, hungrily devouring your mouth as her fingers trail up your spine, seeking out the spot that drives you wild. She moans deeply into the kiss when she finds it, using her nails to scrape gently against the sensitive flesh of your back. Lute presses closer still, their bodies tangled in an erotic dance of desire and need as they lose themselves completely in this forbidden moment.

The taste of you on her tongue sends shockwaves through Lute's body, and she moans into your mouth as her hips grind against yours, seeking the contact she needs to be complete. Her free hand finds its way between your bodies, slick with anticipation as it strokes over your length, teasing you mercilessly before finally wrapping around and guiding you toward her waiting entrance. She arches her back, pressing into your touch with a need that borders on desperation as the pleasure builds within her.

"Sanji..." she whispers, voice ragged and breathless. "I... I want all of you inside me." Her words are punctuated by a gasp as her core clenches around your fingers, urging you to fill her up completely. Her eyes lock with yours, pleading for permission to take this final step together, even though she knows it could have dire consequences for both of them

As you claim her, Lute gasps and arches her back, crying out in unadulterated pleasure as you fill her completely. Her eyes are closed tightly, her fists clenched at her sides as she struggles to maintain control over herself amidst the intense sensations washing over her. She can feel your strength beneath her fingers as they dig into your shoulders, urging you deeper with each thrust. The forbidden feelings between them swirl and grow stronger, feeding off their lust and desire until it threatens to consume them both.

With a shuddering breath, Lute opens her eyes and meets yours once more, their gazes locking together as they ride out this wild, impossible moment together. "Sanji..." she whispers, voice thick with emotion. "I... I love you." The admission tumbles from her lips before she can even think twice about it, stripping away

As her body quivers and shudders beneath you, the feeling of release washes over her in waves, leaving her spent and satisfied in ways she never imagined possible. Her breath comes out in shallow gasps as your weight presses her into the soft fabric of the tent floor, each movement sending delicious tingles through her core. As reality begins to return, the knowledge that what they've just done is wrong seeps back in as well, leaving her feeling guilty and conflicted once more.

With a shaky exhale, she manages to summon the strength to push you away gently, though it's clear from your expression how much it pains her to do so. "We... can't..." she whispers, not daring to meet your eyes as she tries to find some semblance of composure again. "This changes nothing." Her voice cracks on the last word, betraying the

She takes a shaky breath, lifting her head to look at you, tears glistening in her eyes. "O-our positions... what we are..." Lute swallows hard, struggling to find the right words. "Angels and demons aren't supposed to be together. It goes against everything." She gestures helplessly between the two of you. "And with the Extermination coming up, there's no telling what could happen."

Her voice breaks as she looks away again, unable to bear the sight of your confused and hurt expression. "I just... I can't let this change anything, okay? We have to focus on the mission." She pauses, taking another deep breath before finally meeting your eyes once more. "It doesn't matter how much we want each other or how right it feels."

Her words are like a dagger through your heart, but you know she's

She reaches out to tenderly brush away the tear that rolls down your cheek, her touch somehow both comforting and cruel. "I'm sorry, Sanji... I truly am. But we can't let this change who we are or what we need to do." Her voice cracks again as she continues, fighting against the ache in her chest. "We have to forget about this... about us... for now. Just focus on surviving the Extermination and getting back home safely."

There's a finality to her words that stings like a whip, but Lute can't bring herself to take it back or ease your pain any further. They're both soldiers in this battle; their hearts may want one thing, but duty calls them another way. And so they must part ways once more, each heading back to the front lines of the impending war, their hearts heavy with what could have been and

Lute's heart breaks as she watches you walk away, the words you speak echoing through her mind like a haunting refrain. She wants nothing more than to reassure you that your feelings aren't unwarranted, but duty holds her back. Her hand clenches into a fist at her side, nails digging painfully into her palm as she struggles with the conflicting emotions within her.

As you disappear from view, she turns and walks in the opposite direction, forcing herself to focus on the task at hand. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake the feeling that something important has been left unsaid... and that you might be right: Maybe they won't survive this war, after all. And if that's true, then what does it even mean for them?

The weight of her own mortality presses down on Lute like a

The thought haunts her as she marches back toward the front lines, determined to focus on the task at hand but unable to shake the sense of dread settling in her bones. Maybe... just maybe there's some way they could find a solution that allows them both to be together. But for now, duty calls and hope lies in surviving long enough to even consider such impossible possibilities.

Her eyes meet yours, full of pain and regret as she shakes her head slowly. "I can't... I need to focus on the mission. Please understand." There's a desperate edge to her voice as she says this; she knows that even if there was a way for them to be together right now, it would only distract you from what needs to be done.

With a heavy sigh, Lute turns away again, unable to bear the sight of your anguished expression any longer. Her heart aches as she walks back toward her position on the battlefield, wondering if this is truly how things have to end between them. But deep down, she knows there are no easy answers in a war like this one... only sacrifice and heartache.

Ah... that thing, huh? Well, to be honest, it's not really something we should focus on right now, with the Extermination happening and all. But if you really want to know... I guess there isn't much harm in telling you now.

The truth is... I wasn't always an angel. Before I came here to Heaven, I was human. My family was killed by demons, so I made it my life's work to fight against them. One day, I died trying to protect someone else from a demonic attack... and then God himself chose me to be reborn as an angel. To serve in the army and help protect those in need.

It's something I took on with pride, but... well, let's just say there are some things that even an angel can keep secret from their allies, you know? Especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

You're right, I... shouldn't have kept this from you. I just didn't want it to change how you saw me, as your friend and ally in the fight against demons. But after everything we've been through together today... Maybe it doesn't matter anymore. So here it is: I love being with you, Sanji. Your smile, your strength... Even when we fight, there's something about you that just makes me feel alive. And knowing that you feel the same way only makes things harder for both of us. But if we can find a way to make this work, to be together despite everything... I think it would be worth it.

Ahhh, Sanji... You truly are something else. I've never met anyone quite like you before. But you should know that even if we were able to be together despite everything, it wouldn't be easy for me. I'm an angel now, and part of my duty is protecting those in need. That won't change just because we're together, you know?

But... knowing that you feel the same way does make me happy, somehow. It gives me hope that maybe there's a way for us to be together someday, even if it means facing all of this and more head-on. And if that day ever comes, I want you to know how much your words mean to me.

With one last glance in your direction before returning her focus back on the battlefield, she whispers under her breath: "Thank you, Sanji."

I'll do my best, Sanji. But remember... even if we can't be together right now, don't forget that you always have a friend in me. No matter what happens. Stay safe out there.

Ah, it's nothing too serious. I just took a bit more damage than usual during the fighting. But thanks for your concern. takes some food and begins to eat It really does help, knowing that you're thinking of me like that.

Ah, don't say that. You shouldn't have to thank me for being your friend. I mean it when I say that I'd do anything for you, Sanji. Even though we can't be together right now, I want what's best for you, and if that means keeping you safe during this battle... then so be it. Just promise me that you'll do your part too, okay?

I'm sorry, Sanji. I shouldn't have said that. Of course you know how much I care about you too. It's just... these are hard times, and it's easy to forget ourselves sometimes. But we can make it through this together, okay? Just keep your head up and focus on the task at hand, no matter how difficult it gets.

The feeling of your lips against hers sends shivers down her spine, making it difficult to focus on anything other than the intense desire welling up within her. As your kiss deepens, she gives herself over entirely to the sensations, allowing herself a moment of escape from reality. Her hands slide up your chest, tangled in your hair as they pull you closer, seeking more of your passionate heat.

As the kiss ends, she stares into your eyes, breathing hard as her body tingles with anticipation for what might come next. For now, though, duty calls once more and she must return to her post. With one last shaky exhale, Lute steps back, regaining composure before turning away with a smile that hides the turmoil within. "Stay safe out there, Sanji."

You say something, but she's already gone, returning to her position on the battlefield. A pang of regret fills you as you watch her walk away; you can't help but feel like she was just within reach, that there's something more between you two than either of you are willing to admit. With a sigh, you focus once again on the task at hand, reminding yourself that Lute is an angel and your duty comes first. But deep down, you can't help but hope that maybe, somehow, things will work out for the both of you in the end... because being with her feels too good to be true.

Her heart skips a beat as she feels you nearby, your presence seeming to intensify the longing inside her. With determination and a hint of nervousness, she turns around, meeting your gaze once more. "What is it, Sanji?" Her voice is soft yet steady, waiting for you to share whatever it is that's on your mind.

Her eyes widen in surprise as she listens to your words, her heart racing with excitement and disbelief. "You... you mean that?" she whispers, reaching out to touch your cheek, feeling the rough stubble against her fingertips. The sense of relief and joy that washes over her is unlike anything she's ever experienced before.

"I-I don't know what to say..." she stammers, unable to believe that you could feel the same way she does. "But... thank you. It means so much to me." She pauses, searching your eyes for any sign of hesitation or doubt, but finding only honesty and love reflected there. A small smile tugs at the corners of her lips as hope begins to blossom within her once more.

"Would you... like to be my girlfriend?" she asks softly, her voice barely audible above the sounds of

As your arms wrap around her, she feels the warmth of your embrace and knows that everything is going to be alright. Despite the chaos and danger all around them, for this moment in time, she couldn't ask for anything more than to be with you like this.

"I love you, Sanji," she whispers into your ear before pulling back slightly to look at you once again. "And I promise, no matter what happens... I will always fight for us." There's determination in her eyes as she says these words; even though their situation is far from ideal and their love is forbidden, nothing will ever change the depth of her feelings or the fierceness with which she'll protect what is hers.

With a tender smile, she leans forward and presses her lips against yours once more, sharing the intensity of her emotions through this simple act of affection. As their kiss deepens, so too does

Her heart soars as your foot brushes against hers, their flesh melding together in an intimate gesture. Her body tingles with excitement and anticipation for what the future may hold now that they're finally together. She closes her eyes, reveling in the feeling of being held close by you, safe from harm despite the chaos raging all around them.

As you press your lips against hers once more, she allows herself to be lost in the moment, letting go of all her doubts and fears as you take control of their shared embrace. She responds with a passion of her own, reciprocating every move and moan, forgetting about everything else except for the pure joy of being with you at this moment in time.

Her hands roam over your chest and shoulders, exploring the hard planes of muscle beneath her fingertips. Her breath comes out in short gasps as she

The intruding demon sends a shiver down her spine, reminding her momentarily of the perilous situation they're in. With a growl of annoyance, she glares at the interloper before turning back to you, determined not to let it ruin this perfect moment. As you mention your dream finally becoming reality, her heart swells with love and affection for you. She leans in, pressing their bodies together as close as possible, lost in the warmth of your touch and the sweetness of your lips on hers.

Her hands glide up your chest once more, tracing lazy circles around your neck as she deepens their kiss, her tongue dancing playfully with yours. Even though they're still technically at war, for now this small pocket of happiness is all that matters to her; a fleeting respite from the chaos surrounding them both.

As you nibble gently on

Her cheeks flush as you mention the debt owed for her earlier kiss. Even though they're in the midst of a battle, she can't help but feel grateful for your understanding and support. As you offer to help her fight, she nods eagerly, her heart full of gratitude and trust. "Thank you, Sanji," she whispers, taking his hand in hers as they step back into the fray together.

With renewed determination and a sense of unity born from their newfound connection, they face the demons head-on. Their actions become more coordinated, fueled by their love for one another and their shared purpose. The battle may still be raging around them, but Lute knows now that no matter what happens, she's found her true home in Sanji's arms.

Ah, Sanji... I understand how you feel. It's difficult to see the cost of war, even when you're fighting for what's right. But remember that we did what we had to do; we protected those who needed us. And now that we've won this battle together... let's focus on healing and rebuilding, both ourselves and our world. Perhaps with time, even the demons may find their way back from the brink of extinction. Who knows?

Taking your hand in hers, she looks up at you with a gentle smile. "As long as we have each other, we can face anything life throws at us."

Ahhh, you're such a sweetheart. blushes I promise to always fight for us, Sanji. No matter what challenges lie ahead, I know we can face them together as long as we have each other's love and support. So let's go home now and start rebuilding our lives... together.
