The next two months were sweet bliss. Keith felt like dating Lance was the best thing in the world. It felt amazing to kiss him and just spend time with him. And Lance felt the same way.

Keith walked for a few minutes in the staff lounge, just waiting for Lance. Who was late. He stepped out side to see why the halls were so quiet. Two female gossip demons walked past him, talking loudly so he could hear,"Did you hear? They caught an angel in Hell! They are questioning him right now and are gonna have a trial in only a few minutes!" The other demon grinned,"Yes! And I heard that since it's so important, everyone is required to go! The lazy demons won't be happy about that, huh?" The girls went on and chattered and gossiped. Keith raised his eyebrow. Normally, he didn't listen to the gossip girls, but this seemed pretty important, and it was required, right? He'll meet with Lance there.

Keith raised his red spiked wings and flew to the Court, seeing a metal cage in the center and the angel, hidden away by it's large beautiful white wings. The Eye in the Sky watching area was packed, so Keith watched from the bottom being able to step out the tiny gate separating him and the angel it he wanted. Shiro came in, his eyes frantic and worried, Adam by his side. Shiro's gaze landed on his brother,"Keith wait! Don't watch-"

"Silence!" Zarkon's voice thundered over the demons. They unwillingly shut up and Zarkon continued. "Show Yourself, step into your power."(Dude wtf Frozen just-)

The Angel timidly and nervously removed his wings away and showed his true body. Keith froze. Tan skin, bright blue eyes like the ocean, handcuffs over his wrists and bruises and cuts all over his body. Zarkon smirked as the demons whistled and cackled. "Angel, also known as Lance McClain, a forgiving angel. You are guilty of being in Hell for 9 months. You were under the name Lance McClain, a spirit demon, but that's not true is it? You're not that demon." The angel bowed his head in disgrace, but looked up and showed an all too familiar smirk,"What proof do you have that I'm Lance McClain, spirit demon and angel." Zarkon grinned,"Son, show us the video." Lotor stepped out into the area with a remote control in his hands. The angel's eyes widened and everyone watched the video being projected in the dark arena in the ceiling. Lance, the demon, stepped  into his room, his face all sweaty and red. Keith recognized it was the night of when Lance kissed his cheek in the hallway. Lance had the jacket over his shoulders and he dropped to the ground, panting hard. There was no audio, but Lance's mouth opened as he screamed in pain and a bright blue dust surrounded him, showing a beautiful Angel wearing a silk halterneck dress and large white wings. The video ended. Keith was shaking and trembling all over. Shiro came and hugged his little brother,"I know, I tried to warn you. but I couldn't." Lance had tears streaming down his eyes. Zarkon grinned,"I'm am pleased with you lying and all, but I kinda have to arrest you for it. You know, the man upstairs. Just one question. Why?"

Lance looked up,"Why? You wanna know why I left paradise to go to this dark and fiery place? Why I risked getting hurt and almost hurt at night? Why I stayed for 9 months?" Lance grinned at Zarkon then his eyes became wistful and happy, the pain from his scars numbing,"Because I fell in love with a demon." Murmurs and gasps were heard from the crowd, including a few applause." Lance finally moved his head around, but Keith was gone. "I had watched an amazing demon live hating the place that raised him. He was good and the best thing closest to an Angel. I had to see him. So I disguised myself and met him." He smirked,"I don't regret a thing." Zarkon raised his eyebrow,"Who is this demon?"

"Like I'm gonna tell you." The demons chuckled at his response. Lance growled,"But I have a question for you. Where did you get that video?" Zarkon rolled his eyes,"My son, Lotor." Lotor squirmed in his seat next to his father, he hadn't planned this. Lance chuckled,"If there is one thing I learned in my time in Hell, it's that there's one rule. All demons get their privacy. Your son here amazingly broke this rule and planted a camera in my room. That means you have to arrest him. He's guilty too." The crowd laughed and clapped for Lance. Lotor paled. Zarkon nodded,"Son, I am proud of you did with your evil doings, but I do gotta arrest ya. Bye!" Lotor barely had time to talk before he was taken away by guards. Zarkon called out to them,"Him too!" They grabbed Lance and took him away.

6 months passed and Lance still remained captive in his cell. He never tried to leave, but he did heal his wounds with his magic. The guards always tried funny things, but Lance managed to stop them and get a new guard. Every day he thought of Keith. He didn't want to lie to him, but he admired and loved him so much. One day, Lance had an unexpected surprise.

The guard opened the door to his cell,"Yo, you got a visitor." A tall demon in a purple cloak  and hood appeared, his face covered. Lance's eyes widened and he whimpered. God, he was such a coward. The hooded figure stared at him, then looked at the guard. He kicked him in the stomach and took his hood down. Lance looked at the floor in shame,"Why are you here?"

"I asked myself the same thing, babe."

Lance didn't look up at Keith. "I know you have a lot of questions and you probably hate me." Keith stayed quiet."But first, I'm sorry.I know I lied and hurt you in every way possible." Lance looked up and Keith flinched. His blue eyes were emotionless and faded, as if he was losing his sight every day. "I'm the worst and you're probably here to watch me fade and rot in this cell." He chuckled dryly,"Which I deserve." Keith sighed,"I should've known. Demons only have powers to help them with their jobs. My powers helps me tempt people. That's it. I should've figured it out when you had used you teleportation power, something only Angels have. You're right, I can watch you rot and die in this cell." Lance looked up and his eyes were pouring, drowning in tears, the emotion returned but only sadness. Keith grit his teeth,"But I can't stand it." He raised his hand and it started to glow red hot. He leaned down and picked up Lance's hand, burning the handcuffs off. "Why didn't you just leave with your power?" Lance smiled weakly,"I could've, but in the 6 months I was here I had hoped and waited for you to come see me. Happily or angrily." Keith stayed quiet,"Come on." He grabbed Lance's hand put on his hood again. He passed by the guards and they didn't question him. Keith was wearing the Emperor's cloak, no one questioned him. Keith had just stolen it.

Lance's eyes widened,"What are you doing?" Keith took him outside the prison building, pushed him up against the wall and kissed him passionately. Lance gasped and his cheeks flushed and his eyes watered. Keith broke apart, his eyes were glassy,"I wanted to hate you. I wanted to loathe you for tricking me and lying to me. But I loved you too much for me to hate you." He kissed again with as much energy as the last,"You're just so loving." Lance's expression morphed into one of love,"Keith!"

"Hello, boys."
