Later that night, after the three returned home, Octavia headed straight to her bedroom, being around others for a long time destroys her energy levels. Blitzo was in the bathroom, washing his face and getting ready for bed.
Stolas had already changed into something more comfortable, he was going to go to bed as he was feeling very tired, and this day had been very long and eventful, so he was excited at the prospect of having a good sleep. Seeing the smile, the engagement ring... it made him tired, but just in the best way possible. He walked to Blitzo and took him in his arms, he couldn't think of a better way to make tonight even more perfect, just the two of them together and nobody else, he had truly had the best day of his life.
Blitzo picked him up in a warm embrace, holding him bridal style and carrying him over to the bed while smiling to him.
Stolas chuckled and held onto Blitzo, his heart fluttering as he was carried by the love of his life into the bedroom. He was just... So happy, everything they'd been through together, the experiences, and now this... this evening had really just been perfect, almost too perfect.
"I love you, Blitzo... I'm so lucky to have you."
He whispered, giving Blitzo a kiss before cuddling up in his arms.
"I love you too, stols. Do you like that nickname? Came up with it myself-"
Just then, Octavia went to wake stolas up. Everything he had just experienced... wasn't real... just a dream.
Stolas was absolutely shocked and in awe, his jaw had dropped like a rock, nothing felt real, the pain in his heart was immense and his eyes widened in disbelief... The perfect day... The perfect night... It had all been a lie... He was... In disbelief...
"That.. That was... A.. A dream...?"
Even though it had felt so real... He was confused and didn't know what to do with himself... he was filled with guilt, pain, and just so much disbelief that he had fallen for it... It felt so real.
"I don't know what you're talking about. why are you crying? Anyway, that red dick head Blitzo is downstairs with the grimuior."
"I just..."
He looked up at Octavia, he was still in a bit of shock... Everything he had been through with Blitzo... It was gone, in the blink of an eye... All those happy moments, all those romantic moments...
He looked down at his hand and couldn't believe his eyes... His engagement ring... It wasn't on his finger, there was no love and there was no Blitzo... He felt like his heart had been torn out of his chest.
"I... I had..."
His tears fell again.
"It was all just a lie..."
"Well, I'm sorry about whatever it is that happened. But you should go find out what he wants. He broke in through my window to come see you-"
Stolas was trying his best to compose himself once again, he didn't want to act like he was being a drama queen, but that dream- or was it? - It had felt so real and it had genuinely filled his heart with joy, and to find that that wasn't real... It was the most heartbreaking thing in his life, he truly felt like his heart had just been ripped out of his chest.
"Okay... Blitzo's here... I'll find out what... What he wants..."
Stolas wiped his tears and went downstairs to see Blitzo.
The imp was pacing around, the book in-between his arm and side. He was wearing a white dress shirt, the sleeves folded to the elbow, like the dream but a different color. He was wearing the same black dress pants and red toed boots.
