Chapter Text
The fistful of dust was sleeping peacefully, when it started to feel air enter its nose and fill its lungs. It started to feel as it began to shift into something, the form of a man. It started to become aware of its own feet, fingers, nose, ears, and mouth.
"Is the first man finished, Michael?" It heard the voice of a male asked impatiently. He wanted to see what they looked like, but his eyes were formed yet.
"For the last time, brother, he will be completed in hours." The other male said in a tone of annoyance. "Why can't you go play with those things you call ducks and leave me alone."
The dust heard the man scoff as he walked away, leaving the impatient one with him. "Hey, human." The impatient voice called out to him. "Hey, I'm calling you."
The dust tried to speak, but he knew no words, which caused the unknown man to groan. "Of course, they make you without the knowledge of speaking." He said in a tone of annoyance before the dust felt cold fingers on its neck. "There you go!"
"H-Hi." The dust tested his voice, his throat felt dry since it has yet to drink any water.
The unknown man chuckled mischief. "There you go, buddy! Now...what is your name?" He asked in a tone of excitement.
The dust opened his mouth to speak but paused as it knew not his name. He wasn't given a name yet, and this deeply troubled him. "Oh, did they not name you yet?" The unknown voice asked in a tone of annoyance. "Heavens, I got to do everything for them." He sighed. "How about this...your name will be...Adam, how does that sound?"
The dust let out a dry chuckle as to approve of the name. "I love it. Who are you?"
The unknown man chuckled joyfully. "I am god! Your creator!" He exclaims, clearly lying to the dust. But the dust knew not yet of anything, as it was yet to be told of who he was or what he was created to do. So, of course he's going to fall for this unknown being's lies.
"My creator! That's amazing!" Adam exclaims, causing the unknown liar to stare at him in disbelief.
The unknown man opened his mouth to correct the mistake, not wanting to get in trouble with his elders. But he stopped himself as he saw how excited the dust at gotten, how amazed he looked.
For the first time, someone had looked excited by him, so he decided to allow the dust to believe this lie. Though, it doesn't matter, because the moment he was fully cooked, he wasn't going to remember meeting him.
---------------------------
Samael was resting on a thick branch in a tree was he spied on the first man, Adam. He was sitting on the ground, surrounded by the animals, given them names. From the moment the man had finishing baking, Samael found something intriguing about him.
Maybe it was his soft honey brown eyes, or his soft bark brown hair. Whatever it may be, Samael couldn't stop staring at him.
What the poor angel didn't see, was a deer had noticed him spying on its human, and before the angel knew what was happening, the deer kicked the tree, causing him to fall to the ground, causing the other animals to scatter.
The first man yelped as he jumped back from Samael in fright. "Oh, who are you?" Adam asked taking a closer look at the angel.
Samael groaned in pain as he sat up. "H-Hey, baby. Good to see you...again." He awkwardly grinned as he tried to hide his face with his hat.
Adam's eyes widened in awe as he recognized the voice of the angel. "Ah! You're my creator!" He exclaims as he grew excited to finally meet his creator. He had asked the other angels about his creator and when he could meet him again. They would grow confused and tell him that he never met his creator, but they never explain further, which would annoy him.
"I never thought you would look this breathtaking, creator!" Adam said as he crept closer to Samael, who was surprised by the compliment. "Do all your creations look this breathtaking?" Adam asked as he poked Samael's cheek, resting his right hand next to his waist to get a closer look at his face.
Samael's face erupted in a blush of embarrassment before he held out his hands, shocking Adam. "Yes, all my creations look just as breathtaking as I do. Check this out!" He exclaims as he opened his palms to reveal a small yellow creature with web feet.
Adam's eyes widened in surprise as he lightly pets the small creature. "It's amazing! What do you call it?" He asked.
Samael stared at Adam in utter excitement. He has never had someone SUPPORT his creations let alone think they were amazing. "I call it, a DUCK!" He exclaims as he held up his hands as Adam clapped his hands in excitement.
"It's amazing, creator!" He exclaims as his eyes shined with excitement like a child encountering Santa Claus.
This made Samael feel a warm fuzzy feeling in his chest that he remembered his brother, Raphel calling...love. He didn't understand why he felt such a thing for the first man, but he assumed it was because he was the first person to show him this type of reaction to his creations, instead of hate.
They spent the whole morning like this. Samael would create something, and he would have Adam give it a name.
It was a special moment between the pair, because he never had anyone to share his creations with. It made him feel special that the first man would look up to him as he was God and would ask him stuff, which he would answer honestly.
Soon, the sun started to go down, causing the sky to change color. Adam stared up at the sky in awe. "I love that color. I think...I would call it...red!" He exclaims and Samael started to freak out once he realized how late it was.
He had never been away from Heaven for this long before, and he knew his brother would go looking for him. Then once he figures he couldn't find him, he would alert Sera and the other elders, and they will start searching for him. Thus, it would lead them here, and they will figure out that he had lied to the first man, and he didn't need them destroying his newly formed friendship.
"Shit fuck!" He exclaims, shocking the first man, as he didn't know what those words meant.
"W-What's wrong, God?" He asked as he stood up to follower after his creator.
"It's time for me to go home, kiddo." Samael said in a soft tone, not wanting to upset the first man.
Adam lips turned into a pout as he crossed his arms. "Already? There are so many other things I wanted you to teach me." He whined, causing the angel to chuckle.
"I can always come back tomorrow, buddy." He said in a soft tone causing Adam's mood to change into one of excitement.
"Oh, when? When!" He exclaims as he bounced on his feet, like an excited child in a candy store.
This made Samael chuckle, finding it adorable. "How about early in the morning. So, then we have all day to ourselves?"
This caused Adam to grin and nod his head. "Oh, but how will I know where to meet you?"
"I will sing a song by the forbidden tree. You can just meet me there." Samael answered, with a soft smile.
"Okay! I will make sure to listen out for your singing tomorrow God!" Adam exclaims with an excited grin.
This made Samael feel that warm fuzzy feeling in his chest again as he patted Adam on his head as he smiled softly at him. "Good boy." He said, causing Adam to blush.
With a sparkle of golden dust, Samael disappeared, leaving Adam to stand alone in the garden, his heart pounding in his chest in excitement, before he realized something.
"Wait...I never got his name...or is it just God?" He muttered to himself as he headed back over to the huge tree with draping leaves, that he called a Willow Tree. He uses the leaves to cover his home.
This was the start of a friendship...a friendship that will lead to the first man's doom.
