Heaven and Hell

Normal? Whats that?

SAGES POV

Everyone needs something thats normal, anything, as long as its normal. For me? Not anymore, everything is different to me now, I'm not living a normal life anymore. I used to have what we call normal, but not anymore once i stepped through that door, it vanished.

Gone, never to be seen by my eyes again. I miss it, i crave it, i want to feel like i did before i met him, but i also don't. I see more now, everything is more then what it seems, theres a bigger truth to all of it. It sounds crazy, but its not. He gave me a gift, but its also a burrden.

Time to bring my gift to school and try to hide it. I got out of my bed, and shuffled along the floor to the bathroom. Turning the shower on to hot and climbing in, doing my shower routine. Gathering the courage to get out into the cold air, i reached for the towel thats i put on a shelf.

I felt around for a while, and it wasn't there, great. I was about to come out, when i heard a cough, a mans cough. Peeking out from behind the curtain, i wasn't really surprised to find Hadrian sitting there, with the towel in his lap.

"May i help you?" i asked rudely, he shouldn't be in here.

"No, may i help you?" he replied with his famous smirk.

"Actually yeah, mind giving my towel back and then leaving?" i pointed to the dark purple towel in his lap.

He chuckled and handed me the towel, then left the bathroom. Its been a week since our visit to his home, and he's been opening up more, but he's still secretive. Lets just say, he's been growing on me, and i cant help but want him in every way. I wrapped the towel around my body and put my dirty clothes into the hamper. I opened the door that lead into my room and found him again.

"I just cant get rid of you, can I?" i asked.

He smiled and got up from my bed "No, you cant, because i enjoy being here"

My heart skipped a little as he said that and i smiled. "Well i need to get dressed so, you need to turn around" i would tell him to wait in the hall, but my family would see him. Unless he could do a little vanishing trick. He turned around and i grabbed undergarments and some clothes.

To be specific, a light blue tank top with ripped black skinny jeans. I dried my self off then proceeded to dress. Not once did Hadrian try to peek, he was a gentlemen, considering he's been alive, or walking this planet for a long time.

"Okay, all done, you can turn around now" i spoke while looking for my brush.

He looked me up and down and raised his eyebrows "I'll never get used to seeing a lady in that little clothing."

I laughed "Thats because your well over 500 years old, get with the times"

He chuckled, and laid back down on my bed. I got out my makeup bag and started applying it, i did my normal look, a nude eyeshadow, black eyeliner on the top and in the corner of my bottom, and mascara. I looked my self over and smiled, i did a good job today.

My hair was naturally wavy, so i left it alone for today. I looked at my phone to check the time, it was only six thirty, and i had to leave for school at seven twenty. I went over to my bed and laid on the other half, good thing its a queen and not a small bed.

"When do you leave for your schooling?" Hadrian asked, still stairing at my ceiling.

Schooling? Seriously he still talks like its the 1800s.

"Not anytime soon" i looked over at him.

"Good, i need the company" i saw him smile, then face me.

Now face to face, I could feel his warm breth hitting my face. We stared at each other for a moment before i turned back to the ceiling. I could feel his eyes on me, almost buring into my face. He looked away, finally, i felt uncomfortible when he did that, and he did it a lot.

"Tell me whats it like to love" It shocked me when he said that.

"Shouldnt you know? Youve lived a long time, haven't you loved someone before?" i asked, confused.

"I cant feel love, we don't need to" shocking me again by saying this.

Who doesn't need love, its everything, i may haven't of had it with another person another then family and friends, but i know it matters. Then again, he was rewired to create pain, but he must feel other emotions. Considering he doesn't treat me horribly, it makes more sense. A life without love, must be painful.

"What other emotions are you not capable of?" i asked curiously.

He thought for a moment "Love and grief, we never had the use for feelings like those."

"Thats horrible, how do you not need them?" I looked over to him.

He turned his head to face me "It makes everything easier, living for as long as i have and watching everyone die around you, even worse if sometimes your the cause of it. I cant feel grief, but i can sense it from others, and its horrible."

"What about love?" i asked.

"Love, is the same way, but sometimes i think that it might be possible for me. Sometimes i think that i feel it, but i know i shouldn't be able to, so i push it to the side, but it always comes back." Hadrian looked into my eyes as he spoke.

"That sounds like love to me, if it keeps coming back then it must be right" He turned away from me when i was finished.

Hadrian thought for a moment, and then he turned back to me. He put his cold but comforting hand on my face, and stared into my eyes, for seemed to be an eternity. He pushed a stray hair behind my ear, and started to speak again.

"Your right, but i only feel that way, when I'm with, you" he looked into my eyes, and pulled me into a soft and passionate kiss, it was beautiful.

There wasn't fireworks, but something better. It was like there was liquid gold, drowning all of my problems away, and replacing them with this amazing new feeling. Reality set in and it was like coming back to the surface and finally getting to breath, and i was substituting air with love.

This is love, and it was all ours, Hadrian is who I'm suppose to be with, we were not written in the stars, no we were written fire.

Hadrian pulled away "Im sorry, i shouldn't of done that, i just-"

I cut him off "Don't apologize, it was great" i smiled

He laughed "It was very pleasant" then he pulled me into another kiss.

The liquid gold came back again to drown me.

And I embraced it.
