Dip - Heaven in hell

Chapter 31

I practically have to peel my shirt from my arms. I didn't want to use my powers on Davis so we used our fists. He has the claws of a beast. 

While looking at my back in the mirror, I notice that my muscles have gotten more defined over the years.

"Nice..."

"Are you looking at your muscles, love?"

I jump back. Pip is standing in the corner with his arms folded.

"Hey, Pip. I thought you would be longer. You must be pretty excited, huh?" I smirk at him.

"I'm not here for that. You're hurt. I'm here to help you."

"Help me?"

"Yes. As an angel, I have grand healing powers. I can help you with your injuries."

"Really? I guess that makes sense. Go ahead."

I turn around so that my slashed-up back is towards him.

"Bloody hell... It's much worse than I thought..."

"Yeah..."

"Okay. Hold still."

I feel a comforting warmth on my back. All the soreness I was feeling disappears. I feel so cozy. This is nice...

Suddenly I feel his hand press up against the back of my neck.

He pushes me forward until I'm in front of a bathroom bench. 

"Sit."

"Excuse me?" I try to turn my head, but he stops me by pushing me forward.

I sit on the bench facing away from him. What is he doing? The vibe changed completely. 

"You shouldn't have done that for me... You got hurt because of me..."

"Pip? It's fine. I promise. I feel fine."

"Well, I don't. I feel terrible. Let me make it up to you."

"How?"

"My blood. It helps you, doesn't it? It's all I can offer you other than this healing..."

"Okay... Then come here."

"...can you keep your eyes closed?"

"My eyes? Why?"

"Please?"

"I can try."

I close my eyes. Pip moves around me and sits on my lap. He guides my head to the side of his neck.

"Go ahead..."

I sink my teeth into his skin. As soon as the blood touches my teeth, my whole body feels warm. Angel blood is amazing...

"Mmm..." I hum as his blood enters my system. It feels so nice...

"Hah... Feels weird again..."

I wrap my arms around him to reassure him as I continue. 

*Sniff*

Is he crying? Am I hurting him?

I pull back and look at him. His eyes are filled with tears and his face is soaked.

I put my hands on his cheeks. "Pip? What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

He places one hand over mine and shakes his head. "You said you would keep your eyes closed..."

"You were crying!"

"... I was crying before you started..."

"Why?"

"You.." His voice cuts out and more tears fall. He is struggling to get his words out. "You went through so much for me... I can't stand seeing you hurt because of me... I-"

He takes a deep breath and looks up to stop his tears.

"I'm so sorry... I am so, so sorry Damien..."

I wipe his tears with my thumb. "My love... It's okay. I promise this was nothing. All of this is worth it to stay with you. My dad killed you. I can't trust him anymore anyway. Whatever physical or mental hardships I have to go through... I will do anything to stay with you. You are my world. My heaven, my hell, and my reality. You are everything. I promise you, we will be together. Once we take care of this we can live together for real. Just us. None of this will matter once we are married in a cute house."

"Married?"

"Yes. That's the first thing I want to do when we take care of my dad and your memories."

"Damien... Damien you're so..." His tears start to stream again.

"I was trying to stop your crying..."

"Sorry... It just sounds so perfect..."

"It will be."
