The Darkest Love Maleficent X Hades

12 What a beautiful sunset

Maleficent POV

"hey beautiful why those tears..." I blink a few times and his figure get's more clear "oh, James hi" he offers me a tissue and I thank him "why are you here crying all alone?" his voice is pretty concerned, I never cry, or at least never in front of my friends "oh nothing really" I say with a broken voice, he looks at me raising an eyebrow "it can't be nothing, what happened, c'mon you can tell me" he says patting my back, I smile at his gesture "is silly really I got upset that's it" he rolls his eyes "ok and? what you got upset about?"  I look down "I.. I was out with Hades we were having an amazing time, I was hoping for him to ask me a thing but Uliana called me desperate and I had to go away... and I got upset, that's it" I end speaking and another tear fall down "stupid emotions" I quietly mumble as I wipe it off "and what were you hoping he would ask you?" I let out a deep breath "is stupid but I was hoping he would ask me to the Castlecoming.." I admit almost whispering.

He chuckles "nah is not stupid, is understandable" I smile a little at him with my eyes still red and puffy "I never went to something like that, and I'm sure I won't like it because is not my kind of stuff.. but still it would've been nice to try it" he nods at me "and what makes you think he won't ask you later?" I sight "well that moment was just so perfect, I was hoping he would ask there and when I was about to leave he said to not worry that it was nothing" he looks at me for a second without saying anything until he got up offering me his hand, I look at him confused "what?" he just signals me to get up with his head, I grab is hand and do so, he doesn't let go of mine and starts walking "where are you going?!" I ask half screaming and laughing "you will see" 

We kept walking for a while and I was getting annoyed "are we there yet? because you are about to rip my arm off" he chuckle and finally stops "here" I turn around and I'm met by a breathtaking sunset "wow is amazing" we were at the edge of a little hill near he school that is facing the sea "uh um... so" he clears his throat and I go back facing him "I know I'm no Hades and this place might not be as beautiful at his, but is still worth trying I don't except an answer yet but think about it ok?" I look confused at him as he grab my hands 

"Maleficent, would you like to go to Castlecoming with me?" 

my expression immediately change to a surprised one, my eyes starts to water once more and I'm trying my best not to cry again, was he asking me this only because I looked like a beat up puppy before? I'm just speechless I don't even know if I should accept or not "I'm good even with a no, and I'm not expecting an answer now ok? I really care about you Mal, really, I want you to be happy, and I think it would be cool to go together like friends, so really take your time ok?" these kind words are a complete stab in the chest, I start crying and hug him "thank you really" I whisper "really is not a problem at all, if you want to go and accept my offer I'm more than happy to go" he hugs me back and we stayed there for a while.

Hades POV

I picked everything up and was walking back to my room, I'm still a bit down, I'm an idiot I should have just told her when she was leaving, I could try now tho... who cares, I'm going, now or never, I arrive at her room and I nock "Mali really I'm sooo sorry about... oh Hades hey" Uliana opens the door and I look at her confused about what she was talking about "oh uhm yea she is not here" I nod "oh you know where she went?" she looks down and signs a no with her head "she left and she was very mad at me, if you see her apologize for me" I smile a little "ok ok no problem thanks" I turn around and leave the dorms, nope, this won't stop me either, I'm gonna tell her now, even if i have to climb a mountain to find her, I'm doing it.

I walked for a bit all around the school, was she hiding or something?! On during my search I even picked up a rose, those thorns reminded me of her, and I know is cliche but i want to give it to her.  

A few seconds later turning around I see a dark figure in the distance whit another one, I get closer, I can now tell is her... with James? really, why in the world is she there with him... no this won't stop me either, I don't care, I take a deep breath and silently make my way closer to them, I see him taking her hands, I swallow now a bit worried, I can hear what they are saying now...

"is still worth trying I don't except an answer yet but think about it ok? Maleficent, would you like to go to Castlecoming with me?" 

My heart skips a beat, I don't wanna believe what I heard... the moment I convince myself to ask her out that bastard ruins it... I don't have the guts to hear her answer, I feel my eyes burning, I turn around letting the rose falling to the ground, I can't hold it anymore, I run back to my room crying uncontrollably, why everything get's ruined, why can't I have one, one good thing in my life, I slam the door behind me "oh hi Ha..." Morgies immediately stops talking as he hears my sobs "what happened?" he ask getting closer, I hate crying, I hate talking about my feelings, I hate showing my fragile side to the others, and in this moment I'm completely broken by everything that happened until now,  I care too much about her and everything is so against me... us... that I can't keep in my frustration anymore, I look at him calming down a moment "well..." 

I told him everything, from the ruined date to what I saw minutes earlier, his face immediately drops hearing all of this "oh man, I'm happy that the date was going well... but wow that was a low move, I'm sorry" I scoff now calmer "I don't care, I guess we aren't meant to be, if she is happier with James than I'm happy for her, I don't care if it hurts, I care about her happiness and nothing else" he gently pat my shoulder "I don't think you should give up tho, I'm pretty sure she does have feeling for you" I look at him "but everything is against us, I can't do this anymore" he nods "I know... but give it another chance, one last chance, ask her out one more time" I scoff "I don't know honestly, now  I'm just tired and mad, if I see James around I might end up beating the living shit out of him, so is better I sleep on it, maybe I'll try one last time, I still don't know" he smiles a little "ok ok, rest and think about it, I see hope for you two, you just need to find each other"

Maleficent POV

We break the hug and started walking away together "here, for you take it" he picks up from the ground a black rose and hands it to me "is like you" I smile a bit at his comment "thanks than" we silently walk back to my room "thank you, really, for everything" he smiles placing some hairs behind my ear "it wasn't a problem at all, I'm always here if you need me" I give him a quick hug "oh and if you see Hades... tell him I want to talk to him" he nods "of corse no problem, night Mali" I smile "night James" I open the door and enter.

"omg Mal I'm so so so sorry" Uliana starts to apologize, I chuckle "Is all good now, ok?" she looks at me confused but relieved "really?" I nod as I go to my desk placing the rose in the book and sticking a petal on one of the pages

Is nice to have a friend JH

I write underneath it, I'm really glad to have him, he is like the brother I never had, I smile as I close the book and turn to face Uli "em... so, want to update me on what happened today?" I chuckle and bot jump on my bed as I start talking...

Opsies lol things are getting out of hands here :)
