IMMORTALLY PROBLEMATIC

Chapter 35: I'm Here

Sky rested for a while. Too, the out of body experience took a toll on him so he passed out. Payu carried him and placed him beside Prapai " they truly deserve each other." He said. The Lord Protector looked at both men and said " I'm 100% sure that if the case was reversed, he'll do the exact same thing. I'm glad to have my Carityl Protector back." As she vanished. Payu placed his hand on Rain's neck as the both left the house together. Payu on the passenger seat as Rain volunteered to drive. Payu asked if they could get some food to eat and Rain accepted. The car they were in was Prapai's as they had gotten there by teleportation. Rain felt very ill and vomited a lot till he was stable, so Payu avoided taking him back through that means. He wanted to make it up to him by taking him out to eat. They went to a high-rise restaurant and went to the rooftop. Payu had rented the floor for a day all for Rain. He felt sweaty on his palms as he was going to finally as Rain out. Rain looked around the building still in shock. It was still open as it was midnight. Payu directed him to where they were to eat and they both sat down. He felt his heart in his throat. He was braver before, but he felt so small beside Rain.
He cleared his throat and said
" Rain, can we talk?" Rain faced him and nodded.
" Of course."
" Why have you been avoiding me?"
" I haven't. Why do you think I have?"
"Because anytime I want to say something important, you cut me off."
" I'm sorry, what do you want to say because I.."
" Date me!"
" What?
" I want you to be mine."
" P'Payu, I... I can't. I really do care about you, really, but I'm very sure that I have a part of your heart, not everything." This got Payu thinking
" Where did you get that idea from?"
" I know about Priscilla, I know how important she was to you and how I can never measure up no matter what I do, she's superior in your heart and your head. I can't beat her, P'Payu." Payu was silent for a minute before he said
" Rain, I would never compare you to another, I would never use you to replace anyone, Priscilla is Priscilla and Rain is Rain."
" Do you love me more P'Payu? Because I know for a fact that the both of you had close to a thousand years together, and you have just met me for some years, to you it's nothing but to me it's a lot."
" Rain? I know you so well, all these things you're saying are important but I want to hear the real reason, tell me what is getting you so worked up?"
" YOUR IMMORTALITY PAYU."
" My what?"
" I can't keep up, P'Payu, you would watch me die, you wouldn't be able to save me then. You would see me fade into nothing, and after I'm gone, you'll go into depression again, P'Payu, you slowly became a pillar for me and I'll admit it, I'm madly in love with you that it hurts. The fear of you going back to Arityl and never returning makes me so scared." Payu was silent for a very long time listening to Rain's sincere words. They were really genuine concerns. He was used to people worshiping him, going all out to please him, but never has he experienced anyone willing to go an extra mile for him. He stood up from his chair went over to Rain lifting him from his seat. Their eyes met and Payu swooped in for a kiss. Rain was initially stunned by it but closed his eyes to accept Payu's lips on his. He moved back and this was when Payu poured out his heart. He placed both hands on Rain's cheeks
" Rain, I'll be here with you, it doesn't matter if you're wrinkly and old, as far as I'm with you. I've lived so many lifetimes and I know for sure, you're the only one I sincerely love. Yes I did love Priscilla, but you're the only one I've loved that loved me back, without hesitation. the only one willing to jump into fire for me and I'll be willing to go into fire for. Rain can we love each other a day at a time?"
Rain had a bright smile on his face. He felt his heart warm up inside. He blushed red. He went in for another kiss, he started by sucking on his lower lip. Payu blocked everything out, he could only see Rain, he placed his hand on his waist while Rain placed his on his neck. Payu brought Rain so close there was no space between them, he looked into his eyes. It was obvious, they were both far gone in love with each other. Payu used his hands and lifted Rain from the ground. He kept kissing him, tongues intertwined like a perfectly choreographed dance. They kissed hungrily. Rain's fears fading away with Payu's words, he felt relaxed. They both aroused all their senses. Rain held onto Payu's hair, he knew Payu had his heart totally and Rain was in his. Payu glanced at him so many times. Rain was truly in his arms. Rain was truly here with him. After everything. He dropped him as they both went inside. He found out, Payu got a room for them. They got inside. Payu took off Rain's clothes seductively. " Can I make you mine again?" Rain nodded, his entire body shivering to every touch Payu gave. Rain did the exact same thing to Payu, he smiled too. He had the same effect on Payu. As he felt each touch. They both went to take a shower together. Payu washing Rain up. They had mini conversations while laughing. Rain loved Payu's warm body close to his. The goosebumps were felt all over.

Prapai woke up. He felt all his strength return. His sword had returned to him. He was back to being a Protector, he went to the bathroom and checked the mirror, all his scars were gone. He went back to his room and saw Sky, who was snoring loudly. He was so happy to see him, without having to feel pitiful. " What lengths did you go through for me." He went to Payu's house but found it empty so he returned home. He had no intention of going to the heavenly Realm because he wanted to see Sky wake up. He went back, and stared at him, he looked at him like he had never done before. Sky is so pretty he said out loud. He went closer and gave him a peck on his face. Prapai found out he could summon his sword again. Sky's Immo Plant had shrunk rapidly as he had been very unhappy recently. Prapai laid beside him and snuggled up to him. Since Sky found out, he stopped sleeping. He would stay away till morning just to be sure Prapai was okay. He was called a panda when he went to work as he had seriously bad dark circles. He for the first time could look at him without feeling guilty. It was clear to Prapai, Sky would stand against anything for him. He would protect him against anything. Prapai couldn't fathom how Sky did what he was doing. How far he was willing to go for him. How he did what he did. Seeing Sky made him hopeful. Prapai tapped his head. Sky woke up and saw Prapai. He immediately sat up with Prapai following " are you okay?"
" Sky, how can you ask me that, have you seen yourself lately?"
Sky wasn't even listening him and checked his body for the scars, they were all gone. Which made him smile. " Sky are you even listening to me? I'm fine now and you?"
" P'Pai, don't bother about me, I'm good."
" No, I want to bother, I want to care, Sky I'm so sorry, for putting you through all I did. I'm sure you would not even want to...
" I'll do it a thousand times over because it's you." Shutting up Prapai. Prapai smiled. He held Sky's hands, and kissed them, he kissed the lower part of his eyes, his cheeks, forehead, shoulders. There was no part of his body he planned on not kissing. He finally set Sky's legs on the floor to make him sit on the bed. Prapai went to the ground knelt down to Sky's shock " P'Pai, what are you doing?" Prapai bowed his head and kissed Sky's feet. He lifted his head looking at him.
" Sky, thank you for loving me enough to go this far for me."
Sky who was just stunned sat there listening to Prapai's confession. It was then he broke down and went to hug Prapai, it sunk in that he was fine now
" I was so afraid, every night I thought you were going to leave me. Every night was like a battle for me. Thanks for living P'Pai."

The Dream Lord had asked Sky to let Prapai go, he said he wouldn't. The Dream Lord then suggested that for Prapai to be better Sky would have to leave him. Sky scoffed at this and said
" Is that the only solution? Must that always be the solution. In time passed, I'll consider this as an option but now, I wouldn't even conceive it. I want to be with Prapai and if you want to kill me I wouldn't let you, and if you want to kill him, I still wouldn't let you. I might be a powerless human but I deserve to be happy and so does he. I make him happy and he makes me happy too, so I'm not giving him up and you're not taking him from me."
This stunned the Dream Lord and the Lord Council head. They all thought Sky would give in easily to whatever he requested. But he was head strong and ended by saying " give me an option that favours both of us."
