A few months had passed, and I could genuinely say I was the happiest I had ever been! I had asked Arny to not erase my memory once and if I had a sleep paralysis attack, and that seemed to be helping a whole lot! I had also decided to take at least a semester off of school until I could completely get my feet back on the ground. All of the pieces were finally being picked up off the ground and put back together, and I owe all of it to the amazing people I have in my life, especially Arny. He seemed to be the moon in my starry sky, he was so utterly important to me. Which made me realize that if my condition was to continue to improve at the rate it was, I was going to lose him very soon. The future I had dreamed of for the two of us started to fade to black and nothing else seemed to take it's place. I tried to see myself with someone else and it was too devastating, I then tried to see myself completely devoted to work and even then my life seemed completely dull without him. I wanted to have a conversation with him about it but I didn't want to hear the answer that I already knew was certain, I was going to lose Arny.
I had just gotten back from the grocery store with all of my favorite snacks along with Arny's. I looked up at the clock as soon as I got everything put away in its designated area, 'I have a little over 2 hours to figure out what I want to say.'
Tonight would be that night that I asked him what was going to happen with us. Gonna be honest I didn't even know what we are, We never discussed our relationship status! I hoped that buying these snack would soften the blow but I knew that it wouldn't work. I sat on the couch trying to get my thoughts together trying to think of every way this conversation would go and exactly what I would say, and before I knew it the 2 hours had flown by. I was still very deep in thought and I felt someone brush away the fly strands of hair of my face, it startled me and made me jump a little bit.
"Goodness I'm sorry love I really didn't mean to startle you THAT bad." His laugh echoed through our living room. Amy was out with Hunter for the weekend so we had the place to ourselves.
"God don't do that again! At least warn me a little next time, geez!"
"Okay okay I'm sorry, but you seemed really deep in thought. Is everything alright?"
I still wasn't ready for it, I was no where near ready for this conversation. I scanned my thoughts trying to think of what I wanted to say first, but then his thumb brushed my cheek. He scanned his thumb for a moment and looked back at me with a very worried look on his face, a tear? Had I really already started crying?! I tried to compose myself but he took his hand and gently placed it on the side of my face.
"I think I know what this is about Angel. Let me speak first, please?"
-ARNY'S POV-
I knew exactly what they wanted to talk about, it has been something I've been dreading to discuss as well. It made my heart ache to even think about a fragment of time that I don't get to spend with them, the days are hard enough without that fact that I may never get to see them again. I was so overjoyed to see their condition getting better and better everyday but it also made my stomach turn.
"This is about-"
I took a long deep breath before continuing my sentence.
"This is about your condition and whether or not I'm going to be here when you get better."
The tears started to stream off of their face, their bottom lip wavering ever so slightly, holding in any sounds so that they wouldn't interrupt me.
"I will... GOD WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO FUCKING HARD! I don't want to say it I really don't....I will no longer be able to be with you once your condition is stable."
That's it. Those words that I never wanted to have to say to their face were finally out in the open, it spewed like venom and left a horrendous taste in my mouth when they left. My face began to burn, and a lump began to form in my throat. I took both of their hands in mine and tried to hold eye contact so that I wouldn't break.
I turned my head, I broke. My eyes locked onto the floor tears began to form but I didn't allow them to fall. Suddenly, their hand softly brushed away the curls in front of my face being gentle so that they wouldn't ruin my hair. I had always been so picky about the way they played with my hair and they always did it so perfectly, but in that moment I didn't give a shit about what happened to my hair I just needed them there with me in that moment. I pulled her into me making sure to leave no space between us. There was so much more I wanted to say but if I had uttered another word I wouldn't be able to hold back my tears any longer. They had already began to sob into my shoulder holding nothing back and it broke my soul. I buried my face into their neck doing everything in my power to make sure I didn't cry. Their scent soothed me, I never would've guessed that a human scent would feel so much like home to me, I never would've guessed that a humans laugh would be so intoxicating, I never would've guessed that I, a soulless demon from another realm, would fall completely surrender to a soft hearted human. I finally began to pull away, their head hanging low using their sleeve to wipe away any remaining tears.
"I wish there was another way you could stay with me." Their voice was like a mouse.
" I have looked everywhere and asked everyone I know if there was anyway that I could stay by your side and never leave, but I never found anything. Even my mother knew nothing of a demon being able to stay with a human forever."
They looked away very puzzled almost like they were trying to find some sort of loophole.
"But wait, think about it! Before I even know you existed my sleep paralysis only worsened right!?"
"Yes but-"
"But once I had finally met you it began to get better?!"
"Yeah you're right-"
"Even when Chris took me away and I didn't have you it started to get worse again! And know I'm back with you and everything is getting better! RIGHT?!"
It finally clicked, I understood what they were saying!
"Don't you see?! I need you Arny! I need you here with me."
They were absolutely right! I really had never heard of as bad of a case as y/n's and it's true that once we had each other it got better and when we didn't it continued to get worse. Meaning that...
"It means that you can't leave! If you were to leave everything would just get worse again and then you would have to come back and it would continue that way forever!"
"You're right! Y/n my love you are a genius! I will speak with my mother tomorrow and let you know what happens tomorrow night okay?"
"Talk about what exactly?"
-Y/NS POV-
He was gone so quickly it almost seemed like he was never there to begin with. I did wonder what exactly he was going to talk to his mother about but I guess I would hear about it tomorrow night, and I had a good feeling that everything was going to work out just fine!
