Prophet of a God. Gods of Earth, #2

Isaiah has heard voices in his head his entire life, so it's ironic when his brother declares that he has been chosen as a prophet of god. Isaiah assists his brother in his search for the messiah and quickly discovers the god chose his brother in an effort to get closer to Isaiah. The messiah isn't shy at all in declaring that Isaiah is fated to be with him. But the voice in Isaiah's head is skeptical and easily finds errors in the god's claims. Cooper is a god, one of many on Earth, but he is approved to pose as a messiah.
He warps the path he's supposed to follow in an effort to get closer to a man that is supposed to be his lover for only one night. Doing so has consequences, because Isaiah is not the man he expected. For one, he cuts himself in an effort to deal with the darkness of his past. And second, there's the pesky sprite that loiters on Isaiah's shoulder, whispering advice that Cooper would rather it didn't.
