Stolitz - You & I

Part 11

Stolas fell to his knees while still cuffed to the pole.

Tears were streaming down his cheeks as he hung his head low, not able to bear the scene before him.

"V-Via. . . Oh my sweet Via. . ." Stolas cried.

Stolas's heart ached more than ever before.

"Dad. . . Dad, look at me." the owlet kneeled before the prince, unharmed, "I'm alright. See? I'm okay." she assured him with a smile.

The prince looked up and saw that it was true, she was alive, "But. . .h-how?" he asked.

"Well hello, princey!" an angsty voice spoke.

Stolas gasped once he saw who it was.

It was none other than Blitz and his I.M.P gang.

Blitz proudly stood on Striker's now blown up skull.

Loona took a photo and posted it.

"That was a fantastic shot, sir!" Moxxie complimented.

Millie began freeing Stolas from the cuffs, "There ya go!~ Are you alright, your majesty?" she asked with concern.

"Y-Yes, we're fine, thanks to you. I truly appreciate you saving my Via." Stolas kindly expressed.

"Would you like a ride back to the palace, your majesty?" Moxxie offered politely.

Blitz then snarled, "UHH, it's MY VAN. Don't be giving out free rides all willy-nilly!" he huffed as he crossed his arms.

It then became awkwardly silent for a moment.

The feisty imp then obnoxiously sighed, "Fiiiine, I'll give you ride." as he rolled his eyes.

They then all made their way to the palace in the van.

-Now at the Goetia palace-

"Waaait. . . I know this place. - Stolas??" the boss imp realized.

"Y-Yes! Hehe. . . My father bought you when I was a child, remember?" the prince nervously spoke.

Octavia gave her father an odd stare at what he had just said.

"Well duh! Where else would I know you from? Obviously not a strip club." Blitz remarked.

Octavia then spoke up, "Well thanks for the ride, little imps, but we must be going back to our royal duties now and such. Come on, dad." as she dragged Stolas by the arm.

The I.M.P gang then drove away.

-Inside the palace-

"Dad! What did you do!? Why are things different!?" the princess questioned.

"I. . . I'm not sure, honestly. I told you, I've never done this sort of spell before! No Goetia has! And I suppose this is exactly why. . ." the owl explained.

"Well, I know one thing for certain." Octavia spoke, "You and Blitz were destined to meet again."

An obvious blush spread across the prince's face, "I-It's not like that anymore! I'm not going to make a deal over the Grimoire again, so there's no reason for anything to happen with him."

-Back in the van-

"Well they seemed nice!~" Millie commented in her thick country accent.

Moxxie nodded his head in agreement, "Never thought we'd be saving royalty on these missions. Was that planned, sir?"

"Nope. Just a coincidence." Blitz quickly replied while hyperfocused on the road.

Loona couldn't care less about the topic and stayed on her phone.

"And wasn't the prince just DAZZLING!?~" Millie gushed.

A slight blush then formed on the feisty imp's face.

"Sir, are you alright? You don't look so well." Moxxie asked concerningly.

"I'm fine!!" Blitz huffed.

Millie then realized what was going on.

"Ohhh, does a certain someone agree that the priiiiince was dazzling?" Millie teased.

"SHUT UP, MILLS!" Blitz snarled.

Blitz POV:
I know I met Stolas when we were kids, but I feel like there's more to it than that for some reason. Whatever. . . Maybe I should just sneak into the palace and steal some shit for profit again. I'm sure his fancy pants ass has gotten more expensive crap over the years.

-Back at the palace-

It was nightfall now.

Octavia was asleep in her room.

And Stella was still away with some relatives.

Stolas was awake in his room sobbing his heart out.

He tried everything he could to distract himself and forget, but he couldn't help but continue to miss his dear Blitzy.

The Blitz who fell in love with him.

And what Stolas was not aware of, a small red imp was climbing up onto the balcony right this moment.

Blitz was the master of stealth (most of the time).

He made his way through the double doors of the balcony and into the prince's bedroom where the prince himself was sobbing away.

Shit . . .

Blitz thought to himself

Wait, is he. . .crying?

The imp then made a false move and knocked over some small potted plants which started the sad owl.

"W-Who's there!? Show yourself!" Stolas commanded, "Bl-Blitz!?" he then questioned in shock.

Blitz immediately froze in place, "Oh, uhh. . . hi, heheh." he awkwardly grinned.

"What are you doing here??" the owl asked as he wiped away his tears, even though they were mostly soaked into his feathers now.

The imp let out another nervous laugh, "Totally wasn't just about to rob you or anything, heh."

"Oh, I see. . . Well just don't be too noisy then. My daughter is asleep in her room." Stolas spoke as he lyed down and turned over towards the wall.

Blitz POV:
Wait, is this weirdo really just gonna allow me to fucking rob him?? Something's not right with this bird.

"Are you alright, Stolas?" Blitz asked nervously.

"I'm fine. . ." the owl's voice cracked.

Blitz then spoke calmly but also sternly, "No, you're not. I can tell. . ."

"And why would you care, Blitz??" the prince quickly spoke as he sat up and turned towards the red being.

"Because I-" the imp began to say.

Blitz POV:
Why do I care about him. . .? I barely know this stupid bird, but at the same time, I feel like I know him all too well. And like. . .I want to hold him close. But that one word remains. . . Why?

"I don't know why. . ." he continued, "With anyone else other than Loona, I wouldn't give a damn. But around you, I feel different. I feel like I've known you for years even though we've only met once before, when we were kids. Sorry. . . This all probably sounds really fucking stupid. . ." Blitz trailed off.

Stolas POV:
His love for me, could it be that. . .it's still there somehow?
