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

Chapter 7: Curberus

Pip is silent as he sits on his bed, crying, 'Oh, what's the matter with me?' he thinks, 'A lad smitten with another lad! What on earth is wrong with me?' He curls up, digging his head into his knees, 'What is the matter with me?...' Pip wipes some tears from his eyes as he hears a knocking on his door. He gets up and opens it, only to find Damien.

"Hey, Philip. Mind if I—Oh! Philip, you're...you're crying! What happened!?" Damien asks as he runs to Pip's side.

Pip wipes some more tears from his eyes, "Oh, Damien! I've taken a fancy to a gentleman! A lad enamored with another lad! The very notion that resulted in my banishment from heaven! I'm utterly petrified! Is it wrong, Damien? Is it? I find myself confused!" Pip shaking. It seemed the more upset he got, the more British he got.

Damien puts a hand on his shoulder, "No. No, of course not, Philip. Why would it ever be bad? Just because those....assholes up there don't like it, doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, I think... it's quite nice. We don't get too many gay people in the castle, so it's....nice to have some variety. You know?"

Pip smiles at him, "Oh, thank you, Damien!" Pip hugs him tightly, "Oh, thank you ever so much! You're terribly kind and remarkably understanding!"

Damien smiles and pats Pip's back, "Of course...though if I may ask." Damien looks into Pip's eyes, "Who is it exactly that you have....gotten feelings for?" Damien desperately wanted it to be for him. Pip was Damien's dream boy, though he didn't know it at first, granted he didn't even know he was gay until Pip came along, he really learned, the more that he looked at him, the more he realized Pip was for him. He was just too perfect, the way his hair shines and sways, the way his eyes are so emotional and blue, and his personality, oh his personality, he's so kind and so cute, Damien always cursed himself for letting him get away the first time they met, but Damien was blinded by quantity over quality, but that didn't matter now, he had Pip with him now and that's all that mattered.

"Oh, it's....well....it's um...." Pip stuttered.

"You don't have to answer. It's ok." Damien says.

Pip smiles, "Thank you, Damien."

Damien then cups Pip's cheeks and uses his thumb to wipe the remaining tears away from his face, "Pip I....I wanted to ask you....would you....want to go to the pet room with me?"

"A pet room? I wasn't even aware you possessed such a thing." Pip says.

"We do. It's just around the corner near the kitchen. We have dogs the—" Damien was cut off by Pip.

"Puppies! Count me in! I have a genuine fondness for dogs!" Damien smiles, 'Dear dad, he's adorable.' he thinks, "Great! Then let's go!" he then grabs Pip's arm and pulls him to the pet room, "I must warn you though. The animals here are very different than what you're probably used to."

"Oh, don't worry. I've encountered my fair share of unsettling, peculiar, and downright strange incidents. You can trust me on that." Pip says.

Damien chuckles, "South Park is a weird place Isn't it?"

Pip also giggles, "You bet. There are things you'd despise me for."

Damien chuckles, 'I could never hate you.' he thinks.

When finally there, Damien hesitates to open the door but he told himself to stop being such a pussy and just open it up. He throws the doors open, and Pip gasps as he lays his eyes on what was inside.

It was a huge, fluffy, adorable, three-headed dog, "Oh my goodness!!" Pip's eyes light up, "He's so cute."

Damien smiles as he pulls Pip along with him to the dog, "His name is Cerberus."

"O-Oh! Like the one in Greek mythology!" Pip says, and Damien nods.

He stops in front of the dog, its tail wagging excitedly, "Hello, Cerberus! This is Philip!!" he calls up to him.

Pip smiles, and that's when the large dog leans down and licks Pip with its large tongue, "Oh! Hehehe!~" Pip laughs as he wipes some slobber off of him, "He's adorable!!"

Pip smiles more as he pets Cerberus, "Who's a good boy!? Who's a good boy!?"

Damien smiles as Pip plays with Cerberus, both seeming happy. He hands him a ball and tells him to throw it, and that starts a game of catch. Damien stands there, happy and love-struck, and he thinks to himself, 'He's the one. I know it. I know it.' but that won't sit still for someone.

Someone wanted him, wanted Damien, all for themself, and they have an idea of how to get him.
