Sulaf

Sulaf is the het ship between Raf and Sulfus from the Angel's Friends fandom.

Season 1
Raf and Sulfus are respectively an angel and a devil and they know each other when they go to earth for their internship where they will have to respectively learn to guard and tempt humans.

Raf knows nothing of the human world and when she arrives she is terrified for fear of being hit by a truck. Sulfus who is there by chance attends the scene and laughs at her, explaining that unless they take human form, angels and devils are invisible and immaterial on Earth.

Raf who has probably never seen a devil starts chatting with Sulfus who teases her by pretending to want to shake her hand (angels and devils can't touch). The girl is a little annoyed, but then she follows Sulfus' suggestion to go to school as she is already late.

The teacher of angels, Professor Arkhan, explains to Raf that angels and devils must respectively try to convince humans to make good or bad choices, always respecting the free will of the humans assigned to them. Another rule is that angels and devils must respect is that if one of the two is at work the other cannot interfere and to decide who can make the first move the two face each other in a challenge and the first turn will be the winner. Going to the classroom prepared for the challenges, Raf discovers that she and Sulfus have been assigned to the same human, a 14-year-old named Andrea. Sulfus enjoys teasing her and Raf responds in kind. The two then face off in a surfing competition. Raf is on the verge of winning, so Sulfus pretends to drown and Raf rushes to help him forgetting that he cannot touch him and when she takes his hand, she is electrocuted. That goes for the devil too, but since he expected it, he gets back on the surfboard and wins the challenge. Sulfus makes Andrea play video games with him instead of looking after his little sister by making fun of Raf. So Raf starts to watch over the little girl, but in doing so she violates the rule that prohibits her from replacing humans and is reprimanded by Professor Arkhan.

Raf takes the defeat rather badly and losing to Sulfus also comes to cause her a nightmare in which the devil's voice is also present. The blonde is then consoled by other angels with whom she befriends and the other girls promise to help her in the future. As soon as the two meet again they start bickering again.

It is up to Sulfus to decide the rules of the challenge and obviously puts Raf in trouble, but by calling her friends she manages to win angrily of Sulfus.

Sulfus finds it ridiculous how Raf tries to convince Andrea to help a friend of his who is a victim of bullies and doesn't even bother to intervene. This goes back to his detriment, since Andrea does the right thing and therefore he is scolded harshly by Professor Temptel, the teacher of devils.

Raf and Urié later follow their humans to the mall along with her friend Dolce and run into Sulfus and her friend Cabiria, there for the same reason. Immediately the two begin to tease each other and Cabiria comments amused that Raf must find Sulfus nice, which he immediately denies. Since Dolce has wasted time with her friends, her devil rival Kabalé tries to give their human Edward the chance to do an evil deed. Dolce tries to convince him not to, but by breaking the rules, Kabalé convinces the boy to not care about the needs of others and to think only of himself. Dolce is very disappointed and sad at her failure and Professor Arkhan tries to make her understand that it is harder for them than for their rivals, as devils tend to cheat, lie and be treacherous and incorrect. Raf who listens to the teacher's words wonders sadly if Sulfus is like that too.

The teachers are absent to give an account of the progress of the students to other angels and devils. The devils take advantage of this to make fun of the angels and in the end Raf blurts out that if they want to fight them they have to do it with a regular challenge. The thing ends with a tie and since if they pass into human form, angels and devils can touch each other, Sulfus becomes human to be able to fight with Raf even physically. The girl transforms herself and challenges Sulfus to catch her. The two seem to enjoy the chase, and when Sulfus catches up with the blonde they are bitten by a spider. This intensifies the feelings present between the two who immediately begin to behave more sweetly with each other.

The effect of the bite a couple of days later makes the two who have been enchanted feel sick. Since they were hot and cold and feel butterflies in their stomachs, their respective teachers at the end of the day when the doctors say they are fine, they begin to guess what is going on.

Discovering that in the past an angel and a devil had already fallen in love and that the sacrilege of their kiss had destroyed a pre-Columbian civilization, the professors decide to prevent their students from falling in love.

Thereafter the members of both class are to spend twelve hours as humans so that they can better understand those they are to guard / tempt and Reina and her servant Malachia decide to take advantage of this opportunity and make sure that Raf and Sulfus remain alone. One of their tricks makes Kabalé and Dolce feel bad and Raf blames Sulfus for it. The blonde thus challenges the boy to a go-kart race, but Malachia makes sure that the two lose control of their vehicles and makes them end up on the beach at sunset. The two begin to suspect that someone is making strange things happen to them. However, the beauty of the place immediately makes the two forget their suspicions and they almost kiss each other, but they are interrupted by the end of their day as humans. Professors who watched them later scold them harshly.

The professors decide to separate Raf and Sulfus and first assign them different humans, so Raf is pitted against the devil Gas, while Sulfus is pitted against the angel Miki. Even if the two no longer have to meet by force, they could still meet in their free time so the teachers entrust their respective students with the task of keeping the two separate. It is worth noting that Raf's friends had noticed that there was attraction between her and Sulfus. Reina, however, who knows perfectly well what happened, sends her servant to send a note to Raf in the name of Sulfus and vice versa to let them meet. They both believe it and their friends in an attempt to keep them away end up by mistake to make them meet. The two start bickering and shortly after their friends let it slip that they have to keep them away. Raf says she can't stand Sulfus before she leaves. The two still go to the appointment and shortly after are sucked away by a mysterious smoke. The two are then imprisoned together and at first Raf suspects that it was Sulfus who concocted all this, but after a while he realizes that this is not the case and apologizes for having wrongly suspected him. By assuming human form, the angel and the devil manage to free themselves, but this is exactly what Reina wants, since the dangerous situation can push them to get closer. The woman's plan seems to work, as being in human form, Raf and Sulfus can touch each other and then wander around the maze in which they have been locked holding hands and showing that they get along much better than usual. Later the two are attacked by a minotaur and Raf convinces Sulfus to face him. During the fight, Raf finds himself admiring Sulfus' bravery and later uses his powers to protect him, agreeing to take pain for him and the devil is impressed. Exhausted from having protected him, the boy begs him to run away, but he refuses. Sulfus manages to hold the enemy long enough for Raf to recover, but despite the girl's help the minotaur is too strong and when Sulfus asks her why she didn't run away, she tearfully replies that he hasn't abandoned her and she hasn't will abandon him.

Luckily Reina doesn't want them dead and the two are saved by ending up in a replica of their school and while talking to the angel, Sulfus thinks that despite having little trust he trusts her. Shortly thereafter Sulfus passes out and Raf takes him to the replica of the infirmary and when a fake Professor Arkhan tells her he will recover, the girl lets it slip that it is a relief for her. Raf later thinks to continue to stay close to Sulfus and goes to see him. Seeing him unconscious, she tearfully says that she hurts him to see him in those conditions and she almost kisses him, being then interrupted by her friends and by those of Sulfus who, noticing their absence, came looking for them and found them.

So the group goes back to school, but shortly afterwards the teachers discover what has happened and then decide to saddle the two students of the caretakers with an angel and a devil graduates named Gabi and Misha.

This does not please either of them and Misha quickly realizes that Sulfus is really cooked for Raf and the devil is enchanted in seeing her pass, only to get very angry when Misha points out that Gabi is with the blonde. Reina makes the humans assigned Raf, Sulfus and their friends go on a school trip to caves and of course angels and devils have to follow them. When Gabi says that Sulfus might like Misha, Raf reacts angrily for nothing from her. The humans of Raf and Sulfus remain trapped in a cave and having followed them the same happens to them and to the other eternals it is impossible to follow them. Sulfus and Raf decide to imitate humans and take a bath in an underground lake, but to their surprise due to some crystals the humans are able to see them and shortly after are attacked by a kraken. After defeating him and erasing the memories of the humans, the two speak face to face and Sulfus declares his love to Raf; she admits to feeling the same, but when Sulfus tries to kiss her she stops him, telling him that he is a devil and she is an angel and that if they were together it would be sacrilege. Sulfus wouldn't care, but he decides to respect Raf's will.

Seeing what happened, Reina decides to play the jealousy card and sends her spider to bite Misha and Gabi so that they fall in love with Sulfus and Raf and make them jealous, prompting them to kiss.

That day both Dolce and Kabalé ask them for help with their human Edoardo and Raf and Sulfus are rather embarrassed to find themselves together. Both of them would be ready to leave, but their friends won't let them and eventually decide to stay. Edoardo angry with his father decides to take a ride on his motorbike and starts driving like a madman, Raf then decides to stop him and Sulfus supports her.

Later the professors summon the interns to tell them that in twenty-four hours there will be a tournament in which angels and devils will compete against each other and that they will have the day off. Both Raf and Sulfus decide to go for a ride and the latter while racing with the bike is said that he is not sure of being able to fight seriously with the blonde. Raf goes to the beach where Reina dragged them and it is said that it was there that Sulfus was about to kiss. The two are joined by Gabi and Misha and both get jealous. The selection of the couples who will compete in the tournament is manipulated by Reina and so Raf and Sulfus find themselves paired for the last match. In addition, a member of the losing team will be forced to give up the internship. The Devils win the first two matches and so Raf and her friend Uriè are forced to win their respective matches in order not to lose the tournament.

Urié wins her match, but Reina decides to make the team challenge in which all five members of the groups must participate, probably to increase the tension in the match between Raf and Sulfus. Despite his previous hesitations, Sulfus is committed to the fight and leads his friends well as team leader, but in the end the angels win the challenge, bringing the score between the two teams evenly. The fate of their friends is now in their hands and Sulfus tells himself that while he doesn't want to hurt Raf having already made her suffer enough, he doesn't want to disappoint his friends either. Reina then makes sure that the urn that should decide the position of the last challenge, drags Raf and Sulfus to the time of the Aztecs. After a while, the two realize they are back in the hands of their mysterious enemy, and the angel comments that at least there is a positive side: they no longer have to fight since they are missing who knows where and Sulfus admits that he had no desire. to fight with Raf who embarrassed admits that for her it is the same.

The two seem extremely happy to be alone together, despite being missing and laughing as they fly. Suddenly they are almost overwhelmed by two flying people and follow them hoping that they are similar.

The two are thus faced with an angel and a she-devil who fight and try to ask them for information, but the two can neither see nor hear them and continue to fight undeterred. At one point the she-devil Sai tells her opponent Tyco that it is useless for them to keep fighting, since neither of them is able to defeat the other and that all in all they don't even want to do it. Tyco refuses to listen and hits her, which angers Sulfus as Sai was doing nothing wrong, while Raf defends the other angel, arguing that Sai could do something instead of standing there trying to confuse the enemy by talking. Sulfus gets irritated and comments that Raf probably defends the other blond only because he looks good and when he suggests that she might like Gabi, she replies that he seems to like Misha. Because of the quarrel Sulfus leaves, and Raf follows him. The two continue to be close to Tyco and Sai and Sai asks Tyco if the feelings she thinks they share about her mean nothing to him and when he replies that he can't answer her she walks away. Upon hearing this, Sulfus stops. When the blonde catches up with him, Sulfus blurts out that Tyco is just like her: both of them have made a devil fall in love with him and then backtrack under the guise of sacrilege. The boy is now convinced that Raf has teased him and angered the girl after a burst that she loves him, but when Sulfus asks her for a kiss. When Raf replies that he can't, the discussion degenerates and Raf ends up going to the facts by slapping Sulfus who instinctively softens another slap in return. The boy apologizes immediately, but Raf instinctively throws fire at him, a power typical of the devils that Sulfus also possesses. Raf is horrified that she has developed a demonic power and believing it was Sulfus' fault she continues to attack him. The boy initially tries to make her think, but in the end he has no choice but to defend himself and violently pushes her using his super strength. So Raf falls and gets hurt and Sulfus rushes to her in tears, begging her to recover and instinctively activates an angelic power: healing. Raf wakes up and strokes Sulfus's cheek and when he tries to apologize she interrupts him saying that she only knows that he saved her life. Sulfus replies that it was she who saved her, after which they kiss.

The kiss between an angel and a demon, however, is sacrilegious and therefore a violent earthquake is unleashed in response. After the kiss, the effect of Reina's spell ends and Raf immediately realizes that he has committed a sacrilegious action. In fact, Reina had ended up imprisoned in Limbo precisely for having committed a sacrilege and therefore she made sure that another one was committed to get rid of her by exploiting its energy. Soon after Raf and Sulfus return to the present and when Professor Arkhan asks what happened, Sulfus admits that they kissed. Due to this both teams are declared defeated, the tournament canceled and both groups of interns will have to send one of the members home.

Raf and Sulfus are then subjected to a disciplinary measure, but luckily the other devils from their friend's story, guess that someone is plotting against them and then inform the angels. The two groups thus decide to take on the defense of their friends. Arkhan concedes it since all the defendants have the right to a defender and Kabalé and Uriè present a summary of the latest events and then the professors decide to suspend the proceedings and leave the decision to others. Gabi and Misha then offer to leave as a penalty for the cancellation of the tournament and Raf and Sulfus are suspended from their duties and their humans entrusted to Cabiria and Miki respectively. During the suspension, they both help their friends giving them advice. High and Low Spheres decide to expel the two sacrileges who will have only one day before returning home. Professor Temptel, who suspects that Raf and Sulfus' decision to kiss was not voluntary, convinces her colleague to investigate. Raf and Sulfus would like to say goodbye and their respective friends help him, but they do it at the same time and therefore the two are not found. While the professors explore Limbo, Urié has the idea of trying to enter Raf's mind to find the moment in which her will would be conditioned, so she, Dolce and Miki enter her friend's mind after sleeping her. The powers of Sulfus make him feel that Raf is in danger and then after seeing that angel sleeping and not being able to wake her he takes his friends with him, pointing out to them that the other angels are gone. The devils understand that her friends have entered Raf's dream to find evidence that someone prompted Sulfus and the blonde to kiss. Sulfus' friends try to stop the seraphim and malebolge from taking the two sacrileges away and manage to buy time. Meanwhile due to a memblock (something she can't remember), the angels put themselves in danger and Gus accidentally sends Cabiria and Kabalé into Raf's mind as well. Convinced that all is lost by now, Sulfus bids farewell to Raf by kissing her hand and calling her "my love". Raf senses this and becomes happy, and this dissolves the memoblock.

On the way Raf wakes up and Sulfus greets her in words. At the idea of not seeing him again, the girl protests strongly, but fortunately at that moment the professors stop seraphim and malebolge and thanks to the evidence found by their friends, Raf and Sulfus are acquitted with full formula, learning of the spider's bite. The professors then entrust again to Raf and Sulfus Andrea and telling all the interns the story of Reina: she was an angel who had fallen in love with the human who guarded the alchemist Malachi. Unfortunately, however, after losing his wife Malachi took a dark path also thanks to her personal devil, Zebel and Reina decided to steal his free will to force him to love her. Because of this she was trapped in Limbo and neither angels nor demons wanted her between them, so she swore revenge on both of them while the poor alchemist became her slave.

Raf and Sulfus are happy to get back to work together, but when Andrea's basketball team loses a game and a man offers to sell him steroids. Raf is shocked and when she discovers that Sulfus wants to convince Andrea to complete the purchase she is horrified and she tries to convince him not to try him. Sulfus, however, replies that it is his duty as a devil to convince Andrea to make the wrong choice. Sulfus decides to redo the surf challenge and wins again this time (and this time without even cheating). Raf begs him not to tempt Andrea by telling him that he could never forgive him, but no matter how impressed he is, the devil still decides to do his duty. As always Sulfus does a good job and almost manages to get the human to buy that stuff. Raf manages to change his mind also thanks to his friends. Sulfus sportingly admits defeat, but she walks away telling Sulfus that she has disappointed her. As she flies off the blonde she begins to wonder if her love for Sulfus was really artificial.

The blonde lets off steam with her friends, but they make her understand that she can't expect Sulfus to go against his nature. Unlike his friends, Sulfus stops underestimating angels, probably due to his relationship with Raf. Angels and devils decide to attend a masquerade party in human form and Raf and Sulfus decide to disguise themselves as devil and angel respectively. During the party Raf gets the impression that Sulfus is a little sad and asks him why he is sad and why he is dressed as an angel. He replies that she found him witty and funny and that for once he and Raf would not have been different, but then she dressed up as a devil and therefore everything was as always. The blonde admits that she dressed up as a devil for the same reason. Sulfus realizes that what is between him and Raf has not been completely induced by Reina and the girl admits that she thinks the same way, but that they will never be able to be together. Sulfus admits that he knows, but that the more if he repeats it, the less he can accept it.

Then when the group is in danger because of Sulfus, the boy wants the blonde to get to safety before him. Eventually Raf and Sulfus find themselves separated from their friends and Reina causes them to fall into a haunted sleep in which they dream of getting married. Upon awakening Raf screams desperately that it was just a dream and immediately after, the two find themselves in front of Reina who tells Raf that she is not a real angel because she was born human and that is why the kiss between her and Sulfus despite having caused an earthquake did not destroy a whole civilization like the one between Tyco and Sai. Reina later lets them go. Sulfus later convinces Raf not to say anything about their encounter with the neutral.

Raf returns to Reina to ask her for proof of her statements and she reminds her that the skin of the angels is perfect without moles or cravings; Raf, however, has a birthmark on her neck in a difficult place to see and if she finds it will mean that the fallen angel has spoken the truth. In the end, the blonde finds the courage to try and discovers that Reina has indeed told the truth. The girl makes up an excuse to get rid of her friends and runs into Sulfus. The boy ascertains her condition and even if Raf happens to be a bit grumpy due to nervousness, he apologizes immediately. The devil does not take it and tries to console and advise her as he can. Raf accepts Sulfus' suggestion to confide in her friends, but due to a number of circumstances this does not happen and she returns to Reina to find out more. The ex-angel tells the blonde that her birth parents were two rulers whose decisions influenced the lives of many people and that therefore angels and devils tried their best to influence their decisions and during a challenge they ended up killing them by mistake and for this Raf has become an angel. The neutral then tells her that entering the portrait room where the portraits embodying free will are kept, she could see their faces. When Miki and Gus struggle to decide who will have the first move on their humans, it is Raf and Sulfus who stop them by telling them that the challenge is canceled as the twins have lost the chance to behave right or wrong by becoming ill. An angel and a devil are needed to enter the room and Raf asks for Sulfus' help, sure that he will help her. But the devil refuses because he thinks that Raf is not acting as she usually would by wanting to steal a magic formula and trying to break a rule. Despite his refusal to help her, Sulfus worries about Raf and tries to be as close to her as he can. The blonde continues to try to convince him and despite his constant refusals, when he finally gets hold of the formula he goes to wake up Sulfus who gives in and agrees to open the room with her while continuing to try to dissuade her.

Unfortunately, the facts prove that Sulfus was absolutely right in trying to dissuade Raf: Reina uses them to enter the room, steal the portraits and gain control over humanity. This will be her revenge against angels and devils for having locked her in her Limbo: depriving them of their reason to exist. Despite doing their best Raf and Sulfus are unable to stop her and the next morning Raf immediately takes the blame for what happened. Sulfus refuses to explain why they entered the room, wanting to keep the blonde's secret, but she herself reveals it in front of everyone, snapping angrily that it was because they weren't honest with her that she was tricked.

Shortly thereafter, the girl declares that she wants to leave and the only one who tries to calm her down and make her stay is Sulfus. Fortunately, Raf's friends manage to convince her to return and Sulfus is very happy. Since Reina uses humans as hostages against angels and devils, the eternals are forced to leave the earth and therefore, Raf and Sulfus will never see each other again.

Raf devises an emergency plan that Sulfus doesn't initially approve of, as the blonde is ready to risk her life but in the end he admits that the girl's idea might work. Raf in fact manages to make it possible for humans to regain the will, but this costs the life of his human father, Malachi the first that Reina had deprived of free will (Raf was changed into an angel because it was due to a angel who had lost the only parent she had left, as her mother has mysteriously disappeared). Eventually Reina is defeated and imprisoned again and all interns are promoted to the second year of the internship. Raf then goes home for the holidays, but Sulfus joins her at the place where they met and the two say goodbye. Raf admits that he didn't want to greet Sulfus for fear of not being able to find the words to greet him properly. The blonde thinks she and Sulfus can only do well to be apart for a while and then she confides in him that she heard her mother's voice and that she is sure she is still alive.

Between dream and reality
Raf is unable to get Sulfus out of her head and in fact repeatedly dreams of marrying him, but she always wakes up before reaching the altar. Even awake, the blonde can't stop thinking about him and when her friends try to convince her to enroll in a summer course she hesitates for fear of meeting Sulfus. When Dolce suggests that at summer school she might meet someone who makes her forget Sulfus, she reacts with anger as a sign that she doesn't like the idea that she thinks she could replace Sulfus as if nothing had happened. Eventually the blonde's friends convince her that the devils won't be there, and she accepts, but Sulfus's friends decide to go and manage to convince him to come with them. On the evening of their arrival, the eternals go to a masquerade party in human form. At the party Raf and Sulfus do not recognize each other, but they immediately feel very attracted reprocically. The wind, however, drops their masks and Raf tries to run away. Sulfus holds her back and asks her why she behaves like this. Aware that they can never be together, Raf decides to indulge Sulfus' suspicion that she likes someone else. Sulfus is devastated, so much so that he lets out a tear and Raf runs away desperate and full of guilt. The next morning neither of them wants to go to class, but their respective friends manage to convince them.

Sulfus throws several digs at Raf and during the challenge to decide who should have the first move on Andrea, Sulfus pretends to know who Raf has fallen in love with, but she obviously refuses. Sulfus cheating manages to push Andrea to misbehave with Raf's anger. However, when tarantulas attack humans, Sulfus agrees with Raf to intervene. That night the blonde dreams again of marrying the devil who asks her why she hurt him and before waking up she stammers that she didn't want to. At the same time Kabalé tries to conquer Sulfus, but he rudely refuses her, telling her that his heart belongs to Raf. The next morning, Sulfus is convinced that it is the teacher of the angels Terence who has conquered Raf.

Humans decide to spend the night in a theater that they are rearranging and staging a show in and since the eternals have come into contact with them as a school assignment, they challenge each other to decide whether or not to approve of Edward's idea of sleeping. in the theater to challenge the ghost that is said to haunt him. The devils win and then the three groups spend the night in the theater.

That night Raf still dreams of getting married to Sulfus who reminds her that she broke his heart.

Because of Kabalé, Andrea and Ginevra later quarrel and when the talk ends there Sulfus tells everyone that Raf likes Professor Terence, seeming to enjoy her in embarrassing her. Later Ginevra disappears and angels and devils go to look for her. During their search, the group comes across Tyco (the angel who brought about the end of the Aztec civilization by kissing the she-devil Sai). Angered that Sai was brought up by Sulfus, Tyco loses his temper and attacks angels and devils. Given the power of him Raf and Sulfus decide to collaborate and in the end they manage to win after a very hard battle.

Tyco then explains what happened to him: after he and Sai had kissed and caused the collapse of an entire civilization, they were chased away by the other eternals as punishment for the sacrilege committed. He and Sai then set out in search of the mythical path of metarphosis and once they had walked it they would have become two human beings and nothing would have prevented them from loving each other. Unfortunately, the two were conditioned by the sigh of deceptions, a bewitched wind that pushes those affected to change, leading them to behave rashly, so they set out on the path without thinking. The two had to go through terrible trials, but unfortunately they failed the last one when they reached the end and Sai got stuck in the path, while Tyco went back and barred the doors that led to it, so as to prevent others from ending up as they did and the wind prompted other people to take reckless actions.

Unfortunately this led to the accumulation of the wind behind the door, which has now come to create a typhoon that will sweep everything away; Tyco wanted to open the door a little at a time to let the wind out, but the arrival of the humans in the theater above the cave where the path entrance is located prevented him from doing so and for this he tried to make the humans and eternals escape.
