"Will you be by my side?" Damien x Pip

Chapter 4: Inturupted by a brat

"Damien, where are we off to?" Pip asks.

"I want to show you something...." Damien responds.

They go outside. It was hot as hell, and they head over to a bench in the courtyard. They sit down, "Look," Damien says.

Pip looks at the view. It was a wonderful sunset, the shades of colors blended together so well, and it made it just so beautiful. Who knew that hell could be so nice when you look at it from the right angles? "It's absolutely splendid! I love it!" Pip smiles as he keeps looking at the view.

Damien looks at Pip, "There's only one thing more beautiful here than this...."

"There is? Pray, do tell me what it might be," Philip asks.

Damien chuckles, "It's not important right now."

"No, I implore you! I'm absolutely keen on seeing it!" Pip begs.

Damien smiles, "You're with it every day already."

"What do you mean?" Pip asks.

Damien grabs Pip's hands in his, "The only thing more beautiful than here is you."

Pip turns red, "D-Damien. T-That's so... lovely." Pip smiles.

Damien cups Pip's cheeks, "Pip. I have been meaning to ask you something."

"Yes?"

"Would you....Would you like to go-"

"Your Highness!!" a voice calls.

Damien turns to see Cathryn, "Your royal highness!! There is a problem!!"

Damien sighs and gets up, "I will solve it. Sorry, Philip. You can come if you want."

"No, don't fret, it's quite alright," Philip says.

"Ok. Um....see you." Damien then runs off to fix the problem, but Cathryn stays behind.

"People call you Philip right?" She asks.

"Y-Yes?" Pip replies.

Cathryn gets close, "You like him, don't you?"

"Well...I must admit, he's rather dashing and quite ami-" Pip was cut off by Cathryn shoving him to the ground.

"He is mine! Got it!! You're a nobody! A nobody but a blond British boy!" She says.

"O-Oh, dear. Please don't shove me again," Pip says, "What are you? In kindergarten?"

"Oh shut up y-you....you..Pip! You're a Pip! Perfect!" Cathryn yells.

"Is that truly the extent of everyone's imagination? Goodness gracious..." Pip mutters.

Cathryn rolls her eyes, "Shut up, Pip."

"Oh, not this again," Pip says as Cathryn spits on him and walks off, "Absolutely revolting...." Pip gets up and wipes the spit off, "I need rest...." he walks off, back to his room.

Pip unlocks his door and walks in. He locks the door behind him and collapses on the bed, "Phew! What a day it's been!" Pip curls up under the blankets and falls asleep.

Everything is still and quiet as Pip sleeps, but then the door opens as Damien had unlocked it and walks in, "How cute...." Damien closes the door and sits next to the sleeping Pip, "Stressful day....I can't believe she got me for such a stupid reason...." He plays with Pip's hair, "I would have much rather been with you....such a cutie...." Damien chuckles and sighs. He gets up and walks out, "Sleep well. You'll need all the rest. Oh how I hope you are the one." he then walks out and locks the door again. He walks down the hall and to his office.

He sits in his chair and breathes out a breath he didn't know he was holding in, "Gees....what a day and only to have my confession interrupted for something so stupid...." Damien sighs and spins his chair around. He turns to his fireplace and lifts his hand to make the fire bigger.

He turns to his desk to see his stack of papers, "I hate paperwork." He grabs a pen and starts with the stack when the door opens. He turns to it and sees, Willow, "Oh hey.... what's up?"

"Um....your Highness, I wanted to ask how the thing with Philip went...."

Damien sighs, "It was going good until Cathryn came and told me something bad had happened."

"Oh. How unfortunate," Willow responds.

"Yeah. especially since it was literally something a 5-year-old could fix. I think she was just lazy...." Damien says.

Willow is silent for a minute, "Lazy....right....just lazy..or another reason....um..anyways. Better luck next time I guess...."

"Yeah...I guess....I think next time I think I will do it in the pet room. Humans like dogs right?" Damien asks.

Willow smiles, "Oh yes!! Humans love dogs!"

"Do you think they would Cerberus?" Damien asks again.

"Oh yes of course!! I think he would love Cerberus!!" Willow replies.

"That's great! I will do it there next time!" Damien says.

"Your Highness?" Willow asks.

"Yes?"

"Do you think he might be....the one?"

Damien is silent for a minute, "I hope so. I had my eyes on him for a while....I hope so, so much. I would do anything I would....I would pray to god...."

"Please don't your highness." Willow says.

"I know, I know, that is against everything we are for but still. I sure hope he is the one. Not only is he wonderful but also what Hell needs. Someone to look up to, someone to trust, someone for them to adore....if it's not going to be me..then it should be him...." Damien smiles, "I think I....I think I love him...."

"That's your Highness.... let's hope he feels the same." Willow says.

"Oh..father..yes! I hope so!" Damien rests his head on the desk, "I really hope so...."

Willow smiles and walks out but before she leaves she asks, "Dinner, your Highness?"

"Yes, please. The usual. Oh and....tomorrow....on Philip's next training day. Treat him well." Damien says.

"Of course your highness. I quite like him so, of course." she then walks out.

Damien sighs and grabs his pen and starts doing the paperwork again. He puts his head on his head and wishes that the paperwork would just disappear because, wow!! It is boring!! Who would have known that being a royal would have so much paperwork involved? Not him.
