"I don't think you're convinced." She summed up in a bored tone. "Here, let me show you what Sebastian is doing while you're gone with Orion." She reached over and laid her hand over my forehead. I had a smirk on my lips because I knew that she'll be proven wrong about Sebastian and I. Just you wait! Were my last thoughts as the walls came in and all I saw last were her bright green eyes, too bright to be even human.

I looked around. "Where am I?" I whispered to myself as all I saw down the hallway were a perfect straight line of chandeliers and gold scrolls in every corner of the room. The decoration didn't just symbolize this person's wealth, the furniture did, the air of this area and the pictures—Pictures of an elegant mother and a handsome father holding a blond baby boy with beautiful curls—all just equaled that this family was rich and they weren't scared about displaying it.

I continued walking around and spied a spiral staircase leading upstairs. I took a step on the velvet carpet and ran a finger along the golden railing as I ventured upstairs. You really outdone yourself, Old Woman. I thought of Orion's mother as every little detail was realistic and not just a dream of the past. Finally reaching the top of the staircase, there was a hallway with just four doors. More pictures of family members were displayed as I crossed over to the first door.

I opened it and it was a dull room. A map of the world was in the back, a desk in front of it, a chair perfectly tucked in behind the desk and two shelves of books, both polar opposites of each other. Probably the study. I concluded, turning around. I admired the symmetry in this room, but this wasn't what I was looking for. I closed the door behind me, moving over to the neighboring room. I once opened it again, within it was another room, probably a bedroom. I concluded once again as I took in the interior. A small bed, nothing grand, was in the corner covered by a red comfortable that seemed much bigger than the bed. A desk was also there, but not as big as the one in the study, a wooden—probably maple—drawer and closet were positioned by each other, but once again nothing very grand.

I left the guest room, closing the door behind me, and sighed. Really where was Sebastian when you needed him? I didn't want to spend anymore time dawdling over him when I just want to go back to the present and prove Orion's mother wrong about our love. I was heading over to the third door when I stopped. Love? Was what we had love?

I clutched my head as a booming migraine formed. A true flashback came back to me as I remembered how I formed a contract with him, to when I died as a human and came back as a demon, and then to all the times that we fought, had sex, kissed, and fought again. I sighed. Just why did Sebastian do that to me that night? This all wouldn't have happened if he didn't do that.

I opened the third door and walked in, shutting it behind me. Inside was a grand room now, something fit for an Earl, but with a touch of a childish decor. A queen sized bed with gold colored trimmings decorated the edges of the comforter, a desk and bookshelf—one not as big as the other one in the study—took on a similar appearance with them being on the polar opposite sides of the room.

I walked over to the desk, my curiosity taking the best of me when I saw the letter on the desk. Picking it up, I looked at the words, skimming over it, since most of it was about company business—those days were over for me for it bored me silly—and looked at the name for whom was receiving it. Kaleb Herondale. Why didn't I know? The only person that would associate themselves with Sebastian.

I was still sorting through the papers when I heard the door open behind me. "Sebastian, is there anything else that I am required to do today?" Kaleb asked, walking over to the bed and sat cross legged. Sebastian turned around and moved the papers that I messed up, before turning around and facing Kaleb. "No, My Lord." Sebastian replied.

I was standing there in shock. Why couldn't they see me? I was wondering to myself as I walked closer to them. I looked around Sebastian's tall figure and saw Kaleb's shirt slightly undone and a smirk on his lips. "Does that mean I have you all to myself then?" Kaleb purred as he reached forward and tugged Sebastian's tie closer to him.

"Yes, my Lord." Sebastian said stiffly as he was pulled towards Kaleb and was kissed on the lips. Kaleb bit his lip softly and moaned as he moved Sebastian even closer to him, fitting him between his legs. "Sebastian, stop being so formal and treat to my needs." He commanded when he pulled away from the kiss, to look at Sebastian with a glare. Sebastian nodded once more and reached his hands up to unbutton his shirt, leaning forward to kiss his collarbones and down his chest. Kaleb moaned and shut his eyes, clearly loving the feeling. "Mmm, Sebastian suck harder, AH!" Kaleb moaned and gasped as Sebastian bit and tugged on his little nipples, wrapping his arms around Sebastian's head to keep him there, once again, clearly loving it.

I—on the other hand—was clearly not loving it. In fact I was sitting there in tears as I witnessed Sebastian's affair in front of me. "Please, take me out of this." I whispered at first, still staring ahead of me. My hand was clutching my shirt, right over my heart—which was beating like crazy. "Please!" I yelled up at the ceiling, to whomever could hear me and could take me out of this Hell.

"Ciel. Ciel!" Someone yelled my name while shaking my shoulders gently. I gingerly opened my eyes, squinting my eyes as the light came into them—almost blinding me. "Sebastian?" I called out weakly. I heard a sigh and this made me blink a couple times, until my vision straightened out and it was really just Kaleb and his mother standing in front of me. I tilted my head to the side, there was something about Kaleb's mother that seemed different.

Her face wasn't as dark or wrinkled before. In fact, her face might even look younger! Her wrinkles were replaced with beautiful, porcelain, smooth face with a nice pair of high cheekbones to accompany it. Her once dark eyes were now a golden yellow like Orion's—minus the black starred tattoo under his eye. I breathed out slowly as I turned back around to face Orion—trying to calm my nerves as I witnessed a huge age change.

"So why were you shaking my shoulders and calling out my name, Orion?" I asked, looking at the little silver fuzzball, but frowned. It was as if Orion and his mother changed appearances. His once happy, easy-looking fluffy hair was now dropping, his yellow eyes seemed dull and his face looked like it hurt from smiling sadly so much. "What's wrong?" I asked, reaching out for him, but Orion retreated.

"Do you not remember?" He asked softly. I was about to question him when everything came back to me. Kaleb seducing Sebastian, Sebastian falling into the lure, them making out. If I didn't pass out, I would've witnessed the both of them reach their climax—I didn't pass out fast enough to avoid seeing them get naked and do some foreplay though.

These memories and thoughts brought fresh tears to my eyes that with a shaky hand reached up to touch them. I looked at Orion and his mother, my eyes filled with the tears and whispered, "Why?"

"Ciel, I'm so sorry." Orion whispered, trying to reach out for me but I, this time, retreated from him, my eyes wide open as I stared at the ground, the tears falling from my eyes, hitting my palm and then rolling off to drop on the ground.

"Sebastian. . .Why?" I whispered once more, my shoulders shaking as I sobbed now. I fell to my knees and my palms landed on the ground to steady myself, the tears now running down my face like rivers. I slammed my palm over and over into the ground, screaming curses and Sebastian's name, while questioning his actions all at the same time.

Orion ran to me and wrapped his arms around me, bringing my face to his shoulder. I took this opportunity to wrap my arms around his neck and sob uncontrollably into his shoulder.

Always. I heard Sebastian whispering that to me on the first night that Sebastian saved me when I became a demon. I remembered looking at him with my new red eyes and ask what he meant by always. "What I mean by always is that I'll never leave you." I sobbed as I recalled this, clutching Orion's clothes as I screamed a curse once more. "Why? Why won't you leave me? You'll grow hungrier by the years." I said to him as I shivered slightly from the water that dripped from our hair. "Even if I grow hungrier by the years, there's only one thing that will satisfy my hunger." By then, we were both speaking in a whisper. "What's that?" I asked him and he'd look at me, kiss my forehead and whisper back, "Love."

By this time, I was grieving and sobbing so much that the only thing that would make me hush was when Orion's mother touched my shoulder, even though Orion was screaming that she shouldn't, that she couldn't. I didn't understand by this point, but all I heard from his mother was, "It'll help you with your love and lessen his suffering." Her words echoed in my head as I was pulled into the darkness, exhaustion getting the best of me.

It was a beautiful morning when I woke up. I turned around and saw Orion smiling his sleep, one arm protectively wrapped around me as he slept. I smiled as I snuggled closer, trying hard not to laugh though. Even when Orion sleeps, he still wears something that has to consist of a black and white pattern. I moved my eyes away from his chest and focused on his face. The morning sunlight shined over his eyelashes, making the metallic silver shine brightly, while at the same time darkening his black tattoo under his eye. I had the urge to reach over and kiss Orion's tattoo and wake him up—like I did everyday whenever Orion and I slept like this.

I couldn't help it, so I actually did kiss his tattoo. Orion's soft breathing soon turned irregular as he was stirred up from his sleep. Orion's eyes popped open and I drowned in the lovely golden color. "Good morning." I whispered to him, smiling as I leaned down for a good morning kiss, as we did everyday. Orion's eyes soon grew really big and he pushed me back as he sat up. I too sat up staring back at him with wide blue eyes. "What's wrong, Orion?" I asked, looking around if there was an intruder or something, but all I saw was the lovely interior decoration of the hotel room that we were staying at for our onsen trip.

"There is something wrong, Ciel, we can't do this." Orion stated, moving away from me, grabbing his knees and bringing them to his chest. I frowned and moved towards his, protectively placing a hand on his knee and whispered soothing to him. "There's nothing wrong with this, Orion, I mean we are dating anyways!" I said, tilting my head to the side as if those words felt weird, but I knew that they were right. Orion was staring straight at me like I became a crazy looking toaster or something.

"No. You're dating Sebastian." I laughed, harder than I meant to, but it was such a surprise and so funny that I grabbed my sides to try to stop myself from dying of laughter. "Orion! You got me there. Now who's this Sebastian person that you speak of?"

"You. . .really don't remember him?" Orion breathed out, still looking at me with wonder. I rolled my eyes and seductively lowered my eyes as I looked at him. "I'm not sure who this Sebastian person is, but I don't care. I got you who's one amazing boyfriend to me." Orion popped out of his ball and looked at me, getting sucked into my blue eyes. I smiled slowly as we both looked at each other, both wanting each other already.

"Want to go to the onsen?" I asked him. There was no verbal response as Orion just grabbed me—bridal style—and ran out of the sliding doors to the smaller, but private onsen that we had outside our room. Orion placed me in, while he stayed out, stripping his black and white shirt off before climbing in also. I slipped off my shirt also, shivering with pleasure as the warm water went over my body.

"Are you sure about this, Ciel?" He asked, the look in his eyes still told me that he was still talking about that Sebastian guy. I became pissed. "Yes, Orion! This isn't the first time that we had sex, and whoever that Sebastian person is, I bet he wishes that he was in this situation right now." I winked at Orion, wrapping my wet arms around his neck, leaning in for a kiss. Orion was a sloppy kisser when he inserted his tongue in, but it felt nice though. I moaned without meaning to as Orion grinded his erect cock against my half-erect one.

Orion broke the kiss and kissed along my jaw and sucked on the middle of my neck before continuing venturing down, leaving his little red love bites on the way. I was in pure bliss with the grinding of Orion's hips, Orion's sucking on my chest and his fingers fondling my skin. We continued our foreplay until Orion suddenly stopped and just stared down at my flushed face.

"I can't do this. I just can't." Orion said before putting his hands back into the warm water and looked down at them. I got up, unsteady at first since pleasure just really sucks your energy out, but when the pleasure subsided and we both weren't as excited before, I looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Everything is wrong. . ." He said, his voice cracking as if he was about to cry.

I bit my lip, I never saw Orion like this. I touched his bare shoulder, feeling his cold skin under my fingers. "Why? Is it me?" I asked, the tears forming in my eyes. Orion shook his head no. That really relieved me.

"Ciel, I have something to admit to you, and you're probably going to hate me forever." I shook my head no to assure him that I wasn't ever going to hate him, but this brought tears to Orion's eyes.

"Here, let's go get dressed and go talk about this inside."

When we walked back inside the hotel room, I was self-conscious because I thought Orion's upset manner was really my fault and he was just assuring me to not have me feel bad. But every time that I tried to apologize to him, Orion just shook his head no while pacing back and forth as if he was trying to put a finger on the main reason behind his troubling mind. This concerned me even more.

"Ciel."

"Yes?"

"I have something to admit and you're going to hate me." This made his voice hitched from the tears that were trying to form. I tried to place a hand on his shoulder to tell him that I'm not going to hate him, but he just flinched away from me. "Ciel, please don't make any romantic advances be—" I interrupted him out of my own anger and yelled at him. "Why? Is it because you don't love me anymore. Is that why you don't want me to touching you?"

Orion grabbed me by both shoulders, the look in his eyes seemed like he wanted to slap the reality back into me, but when you're in a state of pure hatred, you can't help but act without thinking.

"Ciel, I love you, I've loved you for a long time, maybe ever since that we met, but tell me. Do you remember how we met?" Orion asked me. I smiled because I knew the answer and answered back, "A walk in the park."

"Wrong, we really met when you came into the Underworld for the first time with Sebastian. Do you remember how you were born?" He asked. I frowned for being "wrong" the first time, I was skeptical about that, but I just got over that and replied to his question with, "I was born in the Underworld, like all other demons."

I crossed my arms as Orion just stared at me. "I can't do this. . ." He kept repeating over and over again. "Orion, really what is going on?"

Orion just grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. "I love you Ciel, but we aren't real. This life you think that we have isn't real. This life was given to us by my mother, who's a witch, we can stop this. We have to!"

I shook my head. "If you're still going on about the Sebastian thing, then I'm not going to go! Whatever is going on, it doesn't stop the love that I have for you!" I yelled at Orion, my eyes and cheeks now stinging with the tears that were pouring from the corners of my eyes. Orion's eyes were shiny from pure pity and regret of telling me all of this, but when he reached over to wipe my tears, his cold hands told me that he was sorry for all of this.

"Please listen to me, Ciel—" He tried to start up once more but i interrupted him by throwing myself at his chest, my tears staining his shirt. "What kind of test is this for me? What do you want to prove? My loyalty? My love?" A pang went through my head, I groaned and clutched it. Orion gasped and reached out to steady my body as his face grew with concern.

"Ciel, trust me, I don't want to test you on anything, in fact, these past few hours were probably the best times of my life, but there's someone out there that deserves you more." Orion said softly. I pulled him down for a kiss—this time he didn't hesitate when my arms wrapped around his neck and pulled his head down to so that our lips can connect.

When you kiss someone you truly love, you believe that there's a spark, a fire that grows within your lips at first, but as if your veins, heart and whole being was made of dry grass; you catch on fire. You believe that when you kiss someone that you love, you believe that anything is possible, that you can float, be poor and still be with them, be close to dying but as long you die knowing that you'll be with them forever. But this was different, this kiss, unlike the other hunger, arousal filled kiss, this was different. I felt no love in it. Even though we vowed to each other that we'll forever be together and love each other, his cold lips and his cold hands on my hips didn't feel like they were mine, that I didn't belong to him.

I gasped and lightly pushed myself away, my fingers touching my lips as my eyes widen with shock. I looked at him as I remembered "Even when I grow hungrier by the years, there's only one thing that would satisfy my hunger. . . And that was love." Orion's voice that I forced myself to believe said it to me, slowly turned into a more masculine voice. It was unfamiliar at first, but as I concentrated harder at it, it seemed as though a wall collapsed. I grabbed my head as all these manipulated memories slowly restored themselves and tied back together in place. All of those soulless yellow eyes and silver haired poofballs that filled up my memories were replaced with a man with short black hair with long bangs and red eyes. I soon remembered him.

Sebastian! Those eyes that looked down at me were filled with love, not Orion's eyes who were filled with love for me—but also hurt that I'll never return the love that I have for him anymore—but this was different, this Sebastian person that I was forced to forget by Orion's mother—which all made sense now that she was a witch. Her appearance, her wants, her power, everything it all made sense now.

I gazed at Orion, he was crying now, those years of pain as he watched Sebastian and I fall in love poured from his eyes, those few moments that he had with me were now coming back to hurt him. I reached over and wiped the tears away from his eyes. "I'm sorry, Orion." I whispered to him, hugging him gently. I felt Orion tense up. "Why do you say that? I'm the one that was selfish enough to make you lose your memories and force you to love me when really it was nothing."

"Orion, I'll always love you. . .But Sebastian is my all for now." I said, hugging him harder. I felt Orion sob harder as he registered this. "But thank you, thank you for caring enough about my happiness and relationship. Thank you, but I hope that you don't mind, but there's someone I need to find right now." I said as I broke the hug, took his head in my hands and gazed into his yellow eyes for a little. "I hope we can still be friends after all of this. I'd really hate to lose you."

"If I don't leave you." He said quietly, staring down at his hands. I nodded and ran away towards the room door, flinging it open and then ran with all my might. The sky was now a dashing mixture of orange, red, and yellow as the sun started setting. I passed countless of trees as i went as fast as my demon powers would let me, but I still had to stop.

I stopped long enough to turn around and look at the grand hotel, which was now shimmering back to a small antique building in the distance. I stood there looking as I imagined what Orion would do at the moment. "Well, you'll never leave my heart even if you chose to forever leave me and forget me." I whispered, turning around for the last time and then ran home. To the one that I love.

"Sebastian!" I yelled as I saw our home coming closer to us as I passed through the portal from the human world to the Underworld. "Sebastian!" I yelled as my legs slowly started giving out on me for my stamina was coming to an end from the countless running that I had to do. I saw a man with short black hair with log bangs turned around so that I'd only see his back. He was slouched over a little like he was crying at the house.

"Sebastian!" I yelled once more between my pants as I got closer to him. Sebastian seemed to have heard for he turned around, his hair flinging around as he looked around for who was calling out to him. I tried to wave at him, but my arm muscles refused to move anymore from their constant swinging motion. Sebastian started jogging hesitantly over to me, whether to see if this was a dream or not. I attempted to call his name out once more, but everything on my body seemed to have stop. My voice was gone, my arms locked so I couldn't move anymore, and now I felt my legs doing the same.

The next thing I knew, I was falling, falling to the ground. I was crying, I believed that if I hit the ground, I'll lose my love—this time maybe forever. I closed my eyes, too ashamed to say goodbye to everything I love. But that ground never came, only a pair of strong but beautiful arms cradling my fragile body. "I caught you." Sebastian low voice assured me, his breath rustling a few strands of my hair.

"I know you did." I said, clinging onto his body as my sobs wrecked through me. "I'm so sorry, Sebastian, about everything."

"Shhh, Ciel. Remember what I said to you when I declared my official love to you?" Sebastian asked me, low in my hair. His warm breath, his warm body filled me up, I couldn't hold back the tears. "Well, I won't ever leave you, no matter how hungry I am, no matter how broken our hearts may be, and no matter the conflict, I'd never leave you. Because that's what love does. It keeps you to someone no matter what. And with that. As the years grow, I don't need souls anymore, for my hunger fuels the hunger of the need to love you." Sebastian said, not even cringing or flinching from how cliche was sounding.

I love you, Ciel." Sebastian said, burying his head in the nook of my neck. On my neck I felt the warm tears drip down my neck, down my collarbone and rest over my heart. "I love you too, Sebastian!" I cried, wrapping my arms around his neck and with a hand pressed our foreheads together, letting us gaze into each others' eyes, until we slowly tilted our heads to the side and kissed. "

When you kiss someone you truly love, you believe that there's a spark, a fire that grows within your lips at first, but as if your veins, heart and whole being was made of dry grass; you catch on fire. You believe that when you kiss someone that you love, you believe that anything is possible, that you can float, be poor and still be with them, be close to dying but as long you die knowing that you'll be with them forever.

Epilogue

"So grandma, did those two boys stay happy forever?" One child asked a beautiful young woman with big, bright golden eyes and defined cheekbones. She just smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkling.

"My darling! that's for you to find out." She said giving the three children a mysterious look before looking into the shadows, where two men, one taller than the other stood, holding each other, and trying to hold their kiss as delicately and innocently as possible.

"Come on, grandma! Just one clue!" The three children whined, climbing on each other as if that was really going to help the situation.

The grandmother sighed, maybe even a little sadly. "Fine, they lived for five hundred, plus, years together until the end of time. They weren't perfect, but they were happy. Through hunger, humiliation, it was something that would last."

"One more thing, grandma!" One of the boys in the shadows whispered, while laughing sadly. "What happened to this Orion boy?"

The old woman turned around and looked at the shadows, the children tried to follow her gaze but couldn't see anything, so they gave up and wrestled each other. "He really left us behind, but one thing he told me before he left forever was that he'll stay in our hearts forever."

The End.

Author's note: There we go, that was the ending of the story. I didn't want it to get this emotional at the end in fact, but I went away from the original plot and it became to this.

Let me explain a couple things, that old woman at the end wasn't really their grandma, in fact, I believe that she was visiting an orphanage about five hundred years after this whole story, and that she was telling them a story—a rather graphic one. Orion did die in the end, I believe that spirits have to be happy things, but once they find satisfaction or are never happy again, they'll leave the world and regenerate into something that'll be better luck next time.

I really loved writing this story. I thank you all for staying and reading this whole story. So thank you! Until next time! ~ Kristydahasian
