This is the last chapter. Hope that's alright.
Deans eyes grew wide as he soon slumped back into his chair, unable to believe this. He had just finished counting up the cash he found in Thanatos' parents room... the money that woman had saved up... it came to a grand total... of 15 million dollars.
With that kind of money, his family could've lived so much better! How could his mother save this up in secrecy?! And for such a purpose too! That woman... was utterly despicable! He didn't even know her and he wanted to strangle her!
... Dean knew he couldn't keep this kind of money. He truly wanted to, but it wouldn't be right. Thanatos deserved to have this money. Of course he wouldn't tell the other what it was for- never. But again, this money belonged to him.
Now. He simply had to wait for the other to come home.
Thanatos slowly opened the door, closing it gently behind him. It was rather late, and he didn't want to wake anyone up with the door.
Suddenly the dinning room lights turned on, startling him a good deal, causing him to turn around in a start. There, standing beside the table, was Dean himself. Arms crossed, eyes half lidded. Thanatos looked around a bit nervously before chuckling, asking gently.
" What, did I... do something wrong? "
" I need to talk to you Thanatos. "
Dean said calmly, something about his tone proving he wanted to talk about something serious. Not knowing if he should run or not, slowly, he approached the table, standing a bit away from him and eyeing the shadow vamp closely.
" What is it Dean? "
Slowly, Dean reached behind his cape and pulling out a box, opening it up and showing it to Thanatos. The grey haired vampire blinked, slowly looking inside, amazed to find it filled with money. He wasn't sure how much but... it was a lot he could tell.
" That's... you're... giving me money...? "
Thanatos said a bit stupidly, Dean simply blinking before saying calmly.
" It's... there's 15 million in there Thanatos. "
The vampire pulled back in shock, CERTAIN he would've spat out his drink if he'd been drinking anything. 15 MILLION?! A-and Dean was just GIVING IT to him?! But why?!
" I found it in your parents room. "
Dean explained calmly, looking down at his folded hands.
" Your mother had it. I'm sorry it took a bit getting it to you, I was curious how much was there so I counted it up. And since it's such a high number... "
" I... I, this is, I-I-I... Man, I, eh, I NEVER knew this, never eh... "
Thanatos then looked up at Dean, eyeing him with still blown shock, yet... confused-amaze. Still so taken back by this... unexpected money his mother had, while their family lived so poor. Softly speaking.
" While, I... This HUGE amount of money, that my OWN parents had, never knew of... I-I don't understand, honestly... WHY, are you just simply, forwardly giving this, to me? I-I-I mean, honestly, I... Even though it DOES belong to me, I just eh... *Sigh* So honestly, Dean, truly... Why are you simply, so forwardly letting me keep this? Many most people would WANT to keep THAT load of money to themselves, even KILL for it. But, you... You just simply. I... "
Dean looked down, his eyes now hidden from view, softly saying.
" ... Because it isn't mine. It rightfully belongs to you. I... look, I may be a total psycho, and could most likely use this money myself, but... I'm not heartless. Keeping this money... wouldn't be right. It's yours, and hiding it from you, just... I'm... this is yours. "
Gently pressing the money into his hands, he then looked into his eyes, saying softly.
" Look, people can think what they like about me. Think I'm a freak, a monster, a heartless, poor excuse of a living being and a-... "
Dean looked down again, hands now fisting tightly and shaking.
" ... total mistake... but. I'm not. I know when to do the right thing. Like now. This money's yours, and you deserve to have it. "
Thanatos was... INCREDIBLY in awe with the shadow vamp. Like, he's just seen deeper into him... his really, good and pure-kindness to him which was most likely, without a doubt... his heart. Soft expression, touched, Thanatos looks at Dean as he breathed out softly.
" Dean, I... I don't what to say, I, and you... Just said what you said. You say..."
Thanatos frowned, as he as well felt rather... bad, and sorry for the shadow-vamp, truthfully. Making him feel like those people that... view people, like Dean, just judging on "the book's cover". Looking back up at Dean, smiled softly and eyes... Feeling stingy slightly.
" ... Thank you Dean. Thank you so much, this is just so... beyond words that I, could use to express my gratitude. "
Gently he took hold of the money and held it in his hands. And, then, bit slowly... Thanatos brought himself to Dean as he hugged him, gently, yet bit tightly. Face resting against Dean's chest, eyes opened slightly, shined still lightly. Little sweet smile. Thanatos softly saying.
" And, as well, so you know... despite you labeling yourself as a "total psycho", and people labeling you them really bad names, and views. I... Truly, I view you a... A tough, dark bad boy, who in reality... Has good really the heart, of a truly really, good and kind-hearted soul. "
Dean felt himself blush horribly bright, no one ever daring to hug him before. No one other than Jake. Nor had anyone said something nearly so... so kind to him. Slowly he hug him back, gently, tearing up a tiny bit but fighting it the best he could. Not allowing himself to break down. He couldn't. Softly saying.
" I... just... thank you, Thanatos. That... Oof. Thank you, really. "
Thanatos smiled warmly, feeling, real good to let it out to Dean, and seeing him react... feel such a nice, good way to him. Feeling happy for Dean, really.
Although, he was feeling all warm, and oddly yet pleasantly fluttery inside. And Thanatos hadn't really took any heed or notice to it, but... a light blush was now laid on his cheeks.
Hope this chapter was an ok way to end the story. I liked it myself.
