Damian

That Sunday morning I was standing by the balcony with my head flooded with thoughts. The weather didn't look promising for a sunny day because of the grey sky and heavy clouds.

I thought I could survive with not having a soul or even Chase but as time went I grew more and more miserable.
"Are you thinking about flying?" Dad asked behind me.
"I can't fly." I replied not turning to him.

He was now standing next to me and he first looked down at the ground below us before turning to me.
"Whatever reason that is I should be grateful." He said.

I couldn't fly because I was a devil without wings and I also couldn't because me dying was going to be a problem. However now, what was really the reason?

"What are you doing here?" I asked turning to him.
"I was wondering if you might want to go to church with us today." Dad replied not turning to me.
"It's going to rain." I said looking away. "And aren't you seventeen years late to want to play family?" I asked.

I noticed him flinch by the corner of my eye.
"I did love your mother." He began. I turned to him about to heckle him with a nasty remark. However, after seeing tears in his eyes I paused. He was avoiding eye contact with me probably out of shame.

"However, I took advantage of her kindness and love. If I could go back in time to stop myself for hurting her and you I would. I swear." He paused to take a deep breath.

"It eats me up every day for how I treated you both and as much as I want to search for an excuse I can't find one nor do I think there can be one to justify what I did. Though, I am determined to mend things between us. Even if it takes years but this time I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." Dad explained while turning to me. "Please forgive me Damian. I really am sorry son."

"It might take some time. Like you explained. Don't expect me to get along with you so quickly." I said not turning to him. Dad nodded quietly. However, there was some hope that we were going to get there eventually.

The rain began to pour heavily out of nowhere.
"Oh dear. I was not expecting it to rain this much." Dad said.
"Me neither." I said while watching the rain fall. It was chaotic but beautiful simultaneously – just like love. Mom used to say so anyway.

"Damian!" Felicity called. "A friend of yours is by the door."
"Friend?" I echoed skeptically. I no longer had any friends.
"Please go see him because he refuses to come inside without seeing you first." Felicity said.

I wrinkled my eyebrows then walked inside the house. I climbed down the stairs and approached the door. I opened it to see Chase standing behind it soaking wet.

I widened my eyes in shock while he smiled warmly looking almost unbothered by the rain.
"Hey." He said casually.
"Oh my goodness Chase." I cried while pulling him inside the house. "Are you crazy? What are you doing here?" I asked after closing the door.

"Lucifer is now the prince of hell just like things are supposed to be." He said. I nodded quietly.
"Okay. That's good, but you need to get out of these clothes. Come on." I held his hand and dragged him upstairs to my room.

He stood there quietly and it was almost unnatural for him to be so quiet, but I didn't want him catching a cold. I picked out a few warm clothes for him and he quietly went to the bathroom to change. While I was waiting for him to come back I began to wonder why did he come all this way only to tell me that Lucifer was the prince of hell again.

The door was opened again and my heart skipped a beat at how sexy that devil looked in my large black hoodie and blue jeans. He ran a hand through his slightly wet silver-grey hair after he closed the door.

I swallowed hard and only came back to reality after he spoke.
"Thanks for the clothes."
"No problem." I said nodding. "Why are you actually here?" I asked.

"...I came... because... because..." He took a deep breath then his left hand was engulfed in blue flames. "I wanted to return this to you." The blue flame flew towards me and I felt a sudden rush of life flowing through my veins. I exhaled happily but wrinkled my eyebrows as he walked towards me. "And to also do this." He said.

I didn't get a chance to fathom what was happening next as he cupped my chin and kissed me. I naturally responded to the kiss that felt like a dream come true. His lips were so soft against mine and it felt like my mouth was filled with fireworks.

We only pulled away to catch our breath.
"...You..." I could barely say the sentence in my head out loud. Chase nodded quietly.
"I want to be yours Damian. Only yours." He said. Only yours. My heart melted.

In one motion I kissed him again but kept it brief and sweet.
"I want to be yours too." I said smiling warmly at him.
