036. Halo
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
Damien watched Pip as he stood in front of the class. He was giving a speech about something or other. If Damien could remember correctly it was something about his heritage. He had been told that he wasn't allowed to give a speech. After all…he was the son of the devil. Damien zoned out, staring at the smaller boy without really seeing him.
He couldn't help but be in love with Pip. The other boy had practically crushed his mental barriers. Damien had always been told that he should never fall in love or even get close to someone because they could be used against him. Well to say that Damien had broken that rule would have been an understatement. He hadn't even tried to stop Pip from getting close.
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
Damien could literally see the halo around Pip's head. One of the perks of being the Anti-Christ was that he was able to see a person for what they were meant to be. Pip was going to be an angel. That fact was sure.
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Damien knew that he shouldn't be in Pip's life. Every day that he was with the boy he knew that Pip was risking his afterlife and Damien almost couldn't stand the thought. Whenever he saw that smile that was just for him however, he knew that he couldn't stop himself. After all, he was very selfish and would never let anyone touch Pip if he couldn't have him.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
Pip had this crazy notion that he would somehow be able to save Damien from his fate. Damien knew what Pip wanted but he knew it would never be able to happen. For one, his fate was set. He was the Anti-Christ and there was no way possible that that was going to change unless he gave it up willingly. Something he would never do because he would loose both his powers and his immortality. And second, he loved picking on people and no amount of being around Pip was going to change that.
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
He needed Pip. That was for sure. He tried like hell to imagine a life without his Pip and every time it ended badly. To say the least that is. Pip was what he needed and what he wanted. He would admit it to anyone who asked. If he didn't have Pip in his life he would go insane. He hated to admit it, but he had found himself addicted to his angel.
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
For example, he could remember the worst night of his life. He had been told that he was going to have to cut all ties with his human life and that if he didn't he would be punished severely. Damien knew that there was one bond he couldn't break as well as did his father. The two of them had a long back and forth battle of wills and in the end Damien had been sent to earth, cut off from hell and any supernatural life that he had known up to that point. Damien had never felt so alone in his long life.
Pip had somehow found him and became the first and last person ever to see the Anti-Christ cry. Damien had been so awe struck that someone would care for him so much that all he could do was break down in Pip's arms and sob. Whenever he looked back on that night he couldn't help but feel so weak. But at the same time he was thankful for that night. He had found probably the one and only person who would never think about taking advantage of him or ridicule him while he was down and at his most vulnerable. I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Damien remembered when he was little. He had always sworn to his father that he would never fall for someone. After all, he was the Anti-Christ and the Anti-Christ needed no one. Not even his father. How wrong he was now that he looked back. Now that he looked back he hadn't even realized that he was falling for the blond. One day he had just realized that he was hopelessly in love with the Brit and that he could never go back.
God Damn it he felt like an idiot sometimes. But then he just thought of how good he had it and couldn't help but smile.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
Maybe Pip would be able to change him. Not too long ago he had sworn that he would never fall in love and now he was swearing that he would never change. He had been wrong before so how much could it hurt to be wrong again? His father would beg to differ of course, but then again when had Damien ever really cared what his father thought?
Pip finished his speech and Damien snapped back to reality. Damien didn't clap politely like the rest of the class but instead offered Pip a small smile of praise. He knew that Pip loved his smile and couldn't help but want to make the small boy happy. Pip had changed him already, at least in that small way.
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
He's everything I need and more. Damien admitted it now. He knew that he would never be able to live without the Brit. He was just too far gone. This was just too good to be true. He was in love with an angel. He put a hand to the side of his face and tried to look bored as Pip took his seat beside Damien in the back of the class. Damien reached over, however, and took the blonds hand in his own.
I heard this song and I just couldn't help but think of Damien and Pip. I hope you liked it ^^
