Dead in Love

Chapter 7: New Wheels

Tension grew amongst the couple. Mira had begun sitting in the front passenger's seat, leaving Boris to be smothered by Lucas and Natalia's constant groping and grinding. Griffith stayed in the corner, reading his book, ignoring the people exchanging bodily fluids. Jean, well, he just continued driving, a bit saddened by the angry mood his daughter was in, but alas it made him feel better. Because her affection towards Boris would diminish and eventually she would try finding a better unholy man to love.

"So, Griffith, what's your book about?" Jean asked with a smile, attempting once again to spark up a conversation, seeing that all the radio stations were classic and country, which he refused to sing to.

"How love was a human construct and is purely a release of hormones when seeing relatives or a mate to procreate with. Primitive instincts which now are thought of as 'magical' when purely your just addicted to a person." The boy looking one sighed, glancing at Mira before back at his book, flipping the page. Unfortunately Lucas wished to put in his two cents on the subject.

"Woah there, love is a real thing whether you wanna accept it or fucking not okay? I realized it in the eighteenth century whilst stalking a young couple, the girl was murdered in an ally way and once the boy heard the news, he died of a broken heart." Lucas said almost poetically which made Natalia look at him with a raised brow, which he brushed off, trying to prove a point to Griff. "Or should I say, the sudden separation of the two main muscles in his heart causing him to die in his sleep the night of hearing said news."

"Oh wow." Mira said, looking back at the tall, tan, and handsome man, smiling faintly which... Began pissing Boris off. "That's beautiful, hm, if only you didn't decide to lie about feeling romantic for others." She rolled her eyes and looked back onto the road, crossing her arms.

"Well Mira, I've always loved things, like how I love you." Boris leant forward, wrapping his arms around the front seat and placing them on her arms, she just pushed him off with a groan. "What are you angry at me now for??"

"I'm not angry, I'm just confused as to why your getting so fucking touchy with this many people in the car." She snarled as he coiled back, nodding and leaning back into his seat, making Lucas and Natalia grin wide.

"What are you looking at?" Boris glared as the fuck buds just shrugged in sync before swapping saliva once again, not even caring about the judging eyes looking at them.

That day, Jean decided there were too many populated areas they were going through, so they went into a very bad neighborhood, in an abandoned parking lot, and lit the tiny car on fire, everyone had their luggage, and they just watched the car slowly burn. All until they heard police sirens and ran like fucking hell to the next car rental place.

The vehicle of choice was non-other than a seven seater van with a large back that could fit a queen mattress. Which they bought to put in the back of it not that much after signing the rental agreement and prepaying it for the next month (fuck Jean had a lot of money). They were back on the road and Lucas happily agreed to drive whilst everyone slept, whether it be on the mattress which occasionally slid due to break checks, or the slightly uncomfortable van seats. Mira called shotgun again and Jean took the mattress with Natalia who kinda saw him as a dad strange enough.

It was about 1 AM when Mira woke up, her eyes squinted, seeing the lights coming from oncoming traffic. When they thankfully adjusted she turned her head over to see Lucas, awake as ever driving as he was supposed to be. She smiled at him faintly. "Hey." She whispered, making him smile too, giving her a quick glance before he looked back on the road.

"I haven't driven in my entire life, I'm pretty good after watching so many Great Theif of Auto let's plays eh?" He chuckled as her eyes widened slightly. "I'm kidding, your brother taught me, well, I forced him to."

"Phew... okay... But... Why did you want to learn?" She gently brushed her hair back behind her ear, fixing her chair so she was actually sitting up instead of leaning back at a 60° angle.

"To stalk you and Boris on your dates, and that isn't a joke, I just didn't get a chance to." He slowly licked his lips as she rolled her eyes, looking back at said Boris sleeping like a baby, leaning on an even babier looking Griffith. Her eyes went back to Lucas, and so did her hand, placing it on his shoulder which she gently squeezed.

"I know you don't trust him, but, I do, he would never hurt me, he loves me." She pulled back her hand, placing it beside the cup holders, where he placed his hand a top of hers with a sigh.

"If, if I knew what I felt earlier I would have told you. I can always see it in people's eyes when they look at the people their with, but, I've never had it happen to me. I've had relationships with Succubi that were pretty much what I have with Natalia now. But, what I feel for you is different, a lot fucking different. Like. I dream about your pussy, that isn't normal." She snorted as he said that, accepting his hand over hers and nodding.

"Alright, sounds fair enough, but, if you can see love in people's gazes... do you see it in Boris's eyes when he looks at me?" She smiled brightly as Lucas sighed and wrapped his hand around hers. "What's wrong?"

"He... He doesn't see you as a person, he sees you as a trophy, the Incubi whom deflowered the last Earth keeper, is still one of the most honoured unholy men, he even lost his title of incubi and is now a Superior Demon." He said as her smile quickly faded. "Yes, he loves you, but he loves the idea of what fame he'll get from fucking you. At least that's what I see."

She frowned, looking down at his hand intertwined with hers, thinking, her lip began to quiver and tears began forming in her eyes. He looked at her and frowned, pulling over the van and putting it into park.

He unbuckled his seat belt, and leant over, placing his free hand underneath her chin and pulling her face closer to his. "If I have to watch you cry then I'll cry and then we'd just be one huge mess." He pecked her cheek before running his fingers through her hair. "It's just what I think, not what I know, what I know is, I love you. Because of that, I'm telling you to stay with who you love."

She looked into his amber eyes and leant in.

Pulling him into a kiss.
