The Soul Factor (BL)

Epilogue

And if love be madness, may I never find sanity again.

Cassian's pov:

We cleaned up all the blood before making our way back to the apartment to get ready for our date. It's been more than a month now since we killed his uncle and we have been doing nothing but have fun together.

These hunts have to be the best time of my entire day because they bring me back to life in every way.

After getting dressed which resulted in a couple more fucks we decided to finally go to our official date night that we had both planned for five nights now.

The Eiffel Tower date. I held his hand and let him teleport us up there. Upon landing the cold weather made me feel chilly instantly and the teleporting didn't do much help to me.

"I expected it to be bigger than this, why did I think we will actually reach the clouds?" I voiced out my thoughts. It's beautiful, I won't lie I just expected it to be higher than this.

"It's pretty though." Sarian said, looking around.

"It is." I glanced around, couples taking pictures. There were like six couples and they were all minding their business. I took a seat on the ground making a sheet of paper appear in my hand and I started sketching our view. I had to try out my skill and this looked like the perfect opportunity.

Sarian sat next to me, watching me draw over my shoulder. "I like that you picked up drawing...you're good."

"It's fun." I glanced at me then back and continued sketching. I could feel his eyes on me the entire time. I picked out a box from my back pocket. "Here." I handed to him, a black bracelet. I saw it on my walk and thought it matched his aesthetic.

He grabbed it. "You sure do know how to give gifts huh?" He said, sarcasm laced in his voice as he put the bracelet on. "I'd love to see how you propose."

"It won't be sweeter than that." I smiled then went back to painting. Last touches. "What do you think?"

"It's beautiful." He grabbed the painting. "I'm keeping it." He kissed me in the cheek. "Thank you." It wasn't for him but I just sighed letting him keep it.

"Let's try the Ferris wheel."

"Now?" He looked at me curiously. I hummed standing up, instead of teleporting we used the stairs. I just needed the experience and I thought that is one way of getting it.

The stairs definitely disagree with my earlier statements that it's small, yeah no. It's huge.

By the time we made it down I was still breathing fine but to a normal person that would have been unlikely. We walked into an amusement park. "What will you eat?"

"Uh cotton candy. I've never tried it." He teleported his new painting and my art supplies to our apartment.

We walked towards the cotton caddy machine. "Which of these rides is the fastest?" It's the one I wanted to try first.

"I'm not sure." He pointed at a ride. "That one looks pretty fast. You should get on that one."

I walked over to the ride with him in hand. Once on it started going slow then fast, it was good but I could find better and that is what I did. I tried to find others, something as strong as teleportation is to make me dizzy.

I went on a roller coaster and I admit it was close. The best one so far that drove it three times until I go dizzy and wanted to throw up, if I were still human I would have but I am not. Red healed me faster than a light bomb.

I decided that this was enough we should reside into the bar. The drinks were being thrown left and right. I had instructed Red to step back so I get her drunk like a human and it was the best decision ever. "Mio diavolo (my devil) slow down." Sarian said, sipping beer.

"It's been so long since I clubbed!" I yelled just in case he couldn't hear me through the loud speakers.

He shook his head with a small smile on his face. "Go have fun, dance. I'll be here."

I pulled his hand wanting him to join me. "Come on." He downed his beer before following me with that lovey dovey look in his eyes.

We danced jumping up and down, grinding. At one point he pulled me by the neck and gave me a kiss that left me almost breathless but that is why I love him.

He leaves me breathless in so many ways.

We were both sweating now but neither of us stopped until it was so early in the morning and we were being chased out of the bar. I was so drunk I could barely walk that I cling to Sarian for dear life. "This was one of the best days of my life." I let go of him and lay in the grass beside the road. "I can fly..."

He laid down next to me. "I love you and how stupid you are when drunk."

"I love you too my bambino (baby)." I glanced at the sky that was almost brightening up. I used to have a life but this life with him just hit differently and it was still hard for me to process.

I love him and I am willing to hurt him yet to an extent. Unless he wants it I am not doing it, that is the kind of control I never knew I had but got because of him. I glanced at him. "Bambino (baby)." I called. "Let's stay like this."

"Like?" He asked, turning on his side to face me.

"We have differences but with so many similarities. Our love and passion for each other, our love for hunting, we don't take nonsense, and our similarities in bed. It's rare to get something like that...you know." I glanced at him and I felt my eyes get covered in mist but I looked away. "Everything about this is a gift...to be able to feel such emotions is a gift but most of all to meet someone like you...I have never dreamed of it. I never had dreams at all until you came into my life, searching for Red."

He got up and sat on my groin. "Yeah...let's stay like this. I'm glad we met...even though I tried to kill you at first." He pecked my lips. "I love you."

"I am almost sober, let's go home and fuck. Make this night forever memorable."

He huffed out a laugh. "Okay...but first.." he made a velvet box appear out of thin air. "Marry me." He wasn't asking it was definitely a command.

I smiled at him. "Si (yes)." Without thinking about it at all cause why not?

I didn't expect that to be the end of the evening but it set the bar high. I don't think I will ever forget this day, this time I will make sure we get married and no one will stand in our way ever again until our next life where things will never change between us because even if Sarain forgets us we will always remind him over and over.

He has always been worth the hustle because in the end he adds something special to my life. Always.
