Stolitz - You & I

Part 9

It was after midnight now and Stolas had prepared some homemade pizza.

This was Octavias first time having pizza, but now she was absolutely hooked and had 5 more slices. Luckily Stolas made more than one pizza.

"Wow!~ This is amazing, Prince Stolas! Way better than the pizza shop downtown!" Millie complimented as she stuffed the cheesy goodness in her cheeks.

Moxxie shook his head in agreement as he gently cleaned some sauce off his wife's chin for her.

Blitz was snuggled up next to Stolas on the couch and was only able to get down a couple slices, but it was better than nothing.

Millie and Moxxie were slouched on a couple of giant bean bags Stolas had sat out for them.

Octavia was on the other side of Stolas, still munching away on pizza slices.

Stolas let out a yawn, "Well I think I'm going to head off to bed now. You guys have fun." as he stood up.

Before he could walk away though, Blitz grabbed hold of his feathered hand. This drew the prince's attention back to him, and he could clearly see that the expression on his face meant, he wanted to go with him.

Stolas sweetly smiled as he scooped up his beloved imp and went off to bed.

"I think I'm gonna turn in for the night as well." the princess spoke as she took off with a whole pizza.

Moxxie and Millie made themselves comfy, turned off the lights, and turned on some romance movies on the television.

-In Stolas's room-

Stolas tucked his Blitzy in the large bed they shared and snuggled in with him. Blitz cuddled closely to Stolas with his head on his fluffy chest.

The prince wrapped his arms around the imp as he hooted his little happy bird noises.

"You're so cute. . ." Blitz mumbled as snuggled closer.

Stolas cherished these moments dearly. He never thought someone would ever return his romantic feelings, especially not Blitz himself.

-The next morning-

Blitz was still in a deep sleep.

Stolas on the other hand had been up since sunrise in his studies. Still trying to find a way to bring back Loona.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

The princess entered, "Dad, any luck yet?" she asked with hope.

"Actually, yes. I've found a couple of solutions. . ." Stolas answered.

Octavia's eyes lit up, "That's great!! So what can we do?"

Stolas sighed, "I've found a couple of ways, it's just. . .they're not exactly ideal. One spell must include a sacrifice, and the other. . ." he trailed off.

Octavia patiently waited, as Stolas took a moment.

"And the other. . .would require us to reverse time. Time before Blitz fell in love with me. . . Before we made the deal over the Grimoire." the prince finally said as his eyes welled up.

Octavia was taken aback a bit, "Th-there has to be another way!"

"But there isn't, Via! There's only one way. . . I must reverse time." the prince decided.

"But. . .you love him." Via said.

Stolas let out a shaky sigh, "Which is exactly why I am doing this. I can only do so much for him, but I'm afraid that nothing else will be enough to mend his grieving heart. . ."

"And what about your heart!?" the princess spat with tears down her feathered cheeks.

Stolas walked over towards his Via and held her close in an embrace, "My heart will always have you, my little starfire." he spoke soothingly.

Octavia only sobbed in her father's arms, feeling angry and upset for him.

"Via darling, this has to be done soon before Blitz becomes any worse. I'm going to spend some time with him before then. I love you, starefire." the prince said as he wiped his daughter's cheeks.

Via sniffled, "I love you too, dad. . ."

-Now in Stolas's bedroom-

Stolas walked in a found his little imp still fast sleep even though it was now late in the afternoon. The prince then took a deep breath in, walked over to the bed, and snuggled right next to him.

"Blitzy. . .?" the bird quietly spoke.

The red imp then grumbled awake as he rubbed his eyes, "Oh, hey Stols. What time is it?" Blitz spoke as he yawned.

"It's late. The day is already halfway gone, dear." Stolas said as he caressed the imp's cheek lovingly.

Blitz couldn't help but purr at Stolas's affection.

"I love you, Blitz. . ." the prince sweetly said.

"I love you too, Stols." the imp smiled warmly at the words.

Octavia was right outside the door listening. And unfortunately she knew that this was goodbye.

Stolas then held Blitz in a close embrace for the last time. And as he did, he lowly said the spell.

And just like that, time reversed.

Back before Blitz and Stolas ever met again as adults.

Blitz was currently at I.M.P with his gang, just another regular work day.

Stolas was in his room, fully aware of everything. He still laid in the same spot where he last held his Blitzy.

After a few moments of being completely and utterly silent, he broke entirely. His heart shattered and ached.

Octavia was in her room on her bed, as she also was fully aware of everything.

She already knew her father was breaking at this point, but she also knew that there wasn't much she could do.

Everything went back to how it was before the deal over the Grimoire.

Loona never died.

Stella and Stolas never divorced.

And Blitz never fell in love with Stolas.

-Back at I.M.P-

"MOXXIIIIE, where's my coffeeeee?? You know I can't mildly function without it." Blitz hollered all angsty.

"Right here, sir!" Moxxie spoke while handing his boss the coffee cup.

Of course Blitz chugged it down within seconds of holding it.

Moxxie stood there with an odd expression, "W-Wasn't that hot??" he questioned.

"It sure was!" the feisty imp remarked with a grin.

The front door then opened.

"Blitz. Got the suitcase you asked for." Loona flatly announced.

"THERE'S MY BABY LOONIE!!~" Blitz cooed at his hellhound daughter.

"Geez, you're extra annoying today." Loona groaned as she dropped the suitcase and walked over to her desk while texting away.

Millie then arrived with a second round of coffee, "Ooooo!!~ What's in the suitcase?" she asked with excitement.

Blitz smirked, "You'll see. It's for our next mission." he then deviously grinned.
