3rd Person POV
A few months later
"Congratulations Shuri" Azazel said with a joyful tone as he was looking at the beautiful baby girl in Baraqiel's hand.
Right now, Azazel has come to Baraqiel's home to see his newborn child
"Thank you, Azazel-san" Shuri replied, she was a gorgeous-looking woman with long black hair, tied into a single ponytail, which dropped below her waist and was wearing a light blue Kimoto which further elevated her beauty and also her mature figure.
"Honey, why don't I bring us some tea?" Shuri asked and Baraqiel nodded.
She went into the kitchen while Azazel and Baraqiel continued to talk
"What's the latest news?" Baraqiel asked
"Sirzechs and Serafall have new little sisters named Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri and a few more pure-blood devils have given birth which is rare within Devil's"
"So, he hasn't shown any signs of waking up?" Baraqiel asked while gentile rocking his hand which was cradling his baby daughter
"Yet, but since he is my son, he is bound to be a bit special so let him take his time" Azazel replied and though his tone was laid back as usual, Baraqiel was able to tell that his friend was concerned
"I'm sure he will wake up soon." Baraqiel said in confidence but Azazel didn't say anything and just continued to look at his friend's daughter but his thoughts were with his sleeping son
To distract Azazel, Baraqiel suddenly had an idea "Hey, maybe in the future we can marry our kids?" he said hopping to distract his friend but Azazel replied "Pass!!!" without giving it a thought which ticked Baraqiel off and he took offense with Azazel's refusal
'How dare he reject my precious daughter!!!' Baraqiel's thoughts ran wild, making him angrier by the second and asked growlingly.
"What! My daughter is not good for your son? Huh?" Baraqiel tone showed that he was serious offended, but Azazel didn't mind his friend's tone or anger and spoke what's in his heart which stunned Baraqiel's on the spot.
Azazel said in a hopeful tone "Since he is my son, he is sure to become a playboy like me and, in the future, we will be picking up single mothers and daughters, father son style!!!" Azazel replied with his eyes sparkling in excitement hoping such a future would come to life.
Poof!!! Baraqiel's anger was gone just like that, he didn't expect such a reply from Azazel and didn't know what to say so he just stared at Azazel with a blank expression.
Azazel also returned from his dream world and stared back at his friend, after few seconds both were unable to control themselves anymore and laughed out loud and also waking up the baby in the process.
Shuri came back with refreshments but, didn't forget to reprimand the two of them while pacifying her baby girl but, she wasn't too strict, as her husband had already told her that something was troubling Azazel, so she let it pass.
Two years Later
Baraqiel didn't know how to comfort his friend anymore. Even though Azazel doesn't show it outside to others, he could tell that his mind was in turmoil.
For the last six months, Azazel made sure to provide his maximum energy to the child in the hope of waking him up, which left him drained out every night.
Beraqiel also made it his mission to provide his energy when ever he had the time to spare but still, the child hasn't woken up
It was night time and Baraqiel entered the secret lab and found Azazel standing next to the tank while his hands were placed on the glass.
Azazel's hands glowed in yellow and the light energy was being absorbed by the child inside the tank. Baraqiel walked up to his friend, he didn't say anything and placed his hand on the glass and channeled his holy lightning in small quantities which also got absorbed by the child.
The only good thing was that the child had grown up and looked like a three-year-old. The boy's face was adorable and his black hair was long and flowing with the movement of the liquid inside the container and his metallic wings had also grown bigger and looked menacing.
Baraqiel saw his friend with concern but Azazel continued to stare at the little boy without any expression, Dark circles could be seen under Azazel's eyes due to the lack of sleep and it worried Baraqiel.
He had never seen Azazel like this and there was no one to help with his friend's situation as this was a secret that can't be disclosed to others.
"Baraqiel, How is Akeno doing?" Azazel asked, breaking the silence of the lab but, his eyes didn't move from the kid
"She is good, Azazel" he replied and continued to provide more energy. "Anything New?" Azazel asked and Baraqiel nodded "A rumor about the Longinus Zenith Tempest. It seems like he is affiliated with the Church but his identity is yet to be confirmed. A few more pure-blood devils have gone missing and the Devil kings are pressured by the Devil council to take action and finally the Bael family heiress has been appointed to manage Kyoto"
"What about Kokobiel?" Azazel asked. "He refused to understand reason, so I broke a few more bones like last time so he's still in recovery" Baraqiel replied
The silence returned and Baraqiel didn't know what to say. Azazel took his hand from the glass and sat down at his desk, Baraqiel went to the corner, poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to Azazel and both continued to drink in silence until Azazel voiced out his concern "I'm worried that he won't wake up, Baraqiel"
"Azazel, Don't lose hope. I am sure that you will get to experience the joy of fatherhood soon."
"Maybe I'm not meant to be a father" Azazel murmured in a low voice like he was talking to himself but Baraqiel heard it and didn't know how to reply because he himself was doubting whether the kid would wake up
'Dad, Is this my punishment for falling?' Azazel had his own question and the lab's silence returned but didn't last long because it was interrupted by a small cracking sound.
*Crack*
Both Baraqiel and Azazel were too deep in thought to notice the sound, but another sound woke them up
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
Baraqiel looked at Azazel's desk, where a smartphone was beeping continuously like some kind of warning.
He looked up to Azazel to find out what it was, only to find Azazel's sight set on the child's tank.
Baraqiel also followed Azazel and looked at the child's tank but nothing was different but, after taking a second to observe, there was actually something different
There was a small crack on the glass tank and it continued to spread into bigger cracks.
*Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack*
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* The beeping could be heard in the background but, both of their focus was on the Child
*Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack*
The crack continued to spread like a spider web and the liquid was leaking from some of the small gaps.
Both of them unknowingly held their breath when they saw the boy's eyelids twitching and the last thing they saw was a pair of Deep Mystic Blue eyes staring back at them when his eyelids finally opened.
*Booom*
The glass tank blasted into pieces and both Azazel and Baraqiel were thrown back by a powerful energy pulse released from the tank
Both of their wings came out, stabilizing themselves, in mid-air. Looking back at the tank, they saw the same multi-colored light being emitted from all over the child's body and the nearby display showed the kid's power level and they also personally felt it.
The monitor beeped as his base power level was at High-Class being and then it started to rise through the roof, Lower-Ultimate-class, Mid-Ultimate-class, High-Ultimate-class, and finally stopped at Lower-God-Class which shocked both Azazel and Baraqiel to the core because this child already possesses the power level of a god and he is only two-year-old.
The lights started to fade away and both of them slowly flew near the boy who was floating in the air.
Both of them stopped a few steps away from the child and the light completely stopped and the boy's Deep Mystic Blue eyes stared at the two of them with curiosity.
Baraqiel didn't move but Azazel slowly walked towards the boy and stopped right in front of the kid. Only an arm's length of gap between them.
Baraqiel was worried for Azazel because he was just a High-Ultimate-class being and if the child attacked, Azazel would be greatly injured or worse, Dead!
Azazel didn't move and just waited for the kid and surprisingly the kid floated next to him and used his little hands and touched Azazel's face.
Azazel experienced the familiar feeling of his energy being drained from the kid's hand, but he didn't make any movements and let him be.
Baraqiel was a bit agitated because Azazel had already drained his energy for the day and if the child kept absorbing more, then Aazael's life would be in danger but that didn't happen.
As if confirming that it was the familiar energy that has been feeding him, The kid took his hand away and went near him and stopped his levitation. Azazel was quick with his hands and caught the kid and his hand cradled him gently.
The boy looked up at Azazel for a few seconds before yawing and closing his eyes, falling asleep in Azazel's arms.
Azazel's arms were bleeding because the kid's sharp blade-like wings pierced his hands but Azazel didn't feel any pain and was smiling as he held the kid tightly.
Seeing this, Baraqiel slowly approached his friend, who had the most genuine smile of happiness he had ever seen on Azazel.
"Congratulations Azazel" Baraqiel said in a low voice, making sure to not disturb the sleeping kid
"Thank's Baraqiel" Azazel said, unable to stop smiling as his kid is finally Awake!
The End
