2019

2 days later

It was the weekend, and Loona and Max, now dating, were cuddling on the coach in Max's apartment.

It was a quiet afternoon, neither of them needed or wanting anything but each other. And yet, his love for Loona was not the only thing on Max's mind.

Loona looked up and her boyfriend (she could still hardly believe it herself that they were dating) and she asked a question. "What's wrong, Max?"

Max looked down at Loona. "Have I ever told you how I died?"

Loona suddenly felt worried. "No, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat interested in it... I mean... I've lived in Hell my whole life, but you had a life before Hell, before... me... and you experienced death..."

Max placed a comforting kiss on the top of Loona's head before speaking again. "After Lucy.... You know... that same night, just hours after it happened, I couldn't stop crying. I felt so betrayed, so heartbroken, so violated... and... I took the pistol that I kept in my dresser in case of emergencies, which I also took on the honeymoon just in case, and..." tears began to roll down his cheeks and Loona felt sick to her stomach when she understood. "I shot myself." Max finished.

Looks began to cry. "Max, I-"

But he interrupted her with a kiss to her lips. "Don't say anything. Just hold me. Just love me."

Loona nodded, and hugged Max tightly. "Always."

There were a few more moments of silence before Max spoke again. "I've been thinking... and I think I'm ready to do it today. I want to do it today. I want to kill Lucy.

Loona looked him in the eyes and nodded. It was time.

Thirty minutes later, Max and Loona stepped out of the portal into the human world, right in front of the mansion they had been to earlier. Where Lucy was living.

Max and Loona snuck around the exterior of the house, looking for an open window.

They found one, and snuck through, landing them into the kitchen. A male butler was about to shout, having seen the two demons sneak in, but Loona slit his throat before he could.

The two snuck upstairs, only having to silently kill two more butlers before making it to Lucy's bedroom door.

They both stood in front of the door, both understanding that Max needed to do this alone.

He needed his revenge.

Before Max went in, though, Loona pulled him close and kissed him.

"I love you." She whispered.

Max smiled and kissed her back. "I love you too, Loonie."

"Hey-!" Loona said but was cut off by Max kissing her again.

Then he left Loona, opened the door, and walked in.

Lucy was standing across the room, looking out of the window. Hearing the door open, she turned around and saw her undead ex-husband standing in the doorway, eyes glistening with rage.

"Y-You!" Lucy managed to spit out, completely in shock.

"Remember me?" Max said, his voice dripping with malice. "It's just the two of us now. It's just You And I."

———

"But you're dead! You blew your fucking brains out!!" Lucy yelled.

"That's true." Max said. "I'm dead. And you will be too."

Max slowly made his way towards Lucy, overflowing with emotions. He used to love her. He used to trust her. But she broke him. She violated him. She raped him.

And vengeance was his.

Lucy suddenly ran from the window, trying to make it to the dresser, where Max guessed she had a weapon.

But he charged at her just as she passed in front of the mirror. Both Max and Lucy crashed into the mirror, sending glass shards everywhere.

On the ground, Lucy climbed on top of Max and held him down. "DO YOU REMEMBER THIS, YOU PATHETIC FUCK?!"

Max froze up. And he didn't do anything as Lucy slammed his head on the floor. He was petrified with fear.

But then Max thought of Loona. How she needed him. How she loved him. How she wouldn't want to live without him. How at that moment, she was probably crying while listening to the fight.

He wouldn't die. He needed to live. For Loona.

Max sprang into action, grabbing a shard of glass and driving it into Lucy's side. She screamed and fell back, and Max took advantage of the situation by grabbing another shard of glass and getting on top of her.

"THIS IS FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME, YOU FUCKING RAPIST!!" Max screamed as he brought the shard of glass down into her chest. He raised it up and brought it down again. And again. And again.

As Lucy lay dying, bleeding out, Max leaned down and whispered to her. "You better pray that I don't find you in Hell cause if I do, I will kill you again."

With one final scream of rage, Max stabbed the glass shard through Lucy's forehead and directly into her brain.

Waiting to stand back up until Max was sure that Lucy was dead. And she was.

Lucy was dead.

———

Loona sat outside, wiping away her tears as she heard the fighting stop. She was praying that Max was ok.

Then the door opened, and out walked Max, covered in blood.

Choking back a sob, Loona flung herself at Max. "I was so scared... don't you fucking dare do that to me again!"

Max hugged Loona, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck, breathing in the scent that he so loved. "I promise that I won't. I love you."

Loona sobbed into Max's chest. "I love you too, dumbass."

———

The two lovers sat outside on the mansion steps as the sun set.

For the first time in a long time, Max felt at peace. He had his revenge. He had his love. He had everything he ever needed and wanted.

Max and Loona looked at each other. They knew that Lucy might be back someday. She would have gone to Hell, meaning that the possibility of crossing paths again would be possible.

And she would probably want revenge for her death.

But as Max and Loona hugged and kissed, they knew that if Lucy tried to come after Max again, that they would be ready to face her.

Together.


You And I: End

(Final authors note)

Aaaaaand it's the end!

Yeah, it's been a short ride but I hope it's been fun for anyone reading.

This was an experiment for me to try out my writing and see what does and doesn't work.

If people liked this story, I do have ideas for a sequel that would focus on a new OC but still have the characters from this story.

But I dunno if people would want more of this.

Finally, I wanna say thanks to some specific readers whose loving comments have really helped me feel motivated to continue writing.

Thank you to helluvabossman431 and Alastor_1 for your amazing comments! You really helped supporting me and this story.

Until next time,

-Woof
