Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Note: LOL! Almost all of you chose the untitled one and thanks to Avatarjk137, the title will be Life After Death. Thank you so much Avatarjk137! I was so eager to get started on this story and the other one, but I didn't have a title! Any ideas for it will be greatly appreciated as long as it doesn't change the pairing or the idea of what I'm going to do with it. Thanks for your votes!
In the infirmary inside Jumba's ship, Angel began to stir under the covers. She cracked open one eye to see Slyther, laying down next to her with a contented and slightly troubled look on his face. Angel beamed as she traced his face gently with her claws, leaning over to kiss his nose. She cuddled into his chest, listening to the beating of his heart. She felt his grip tighten around her waist, causing her to glance up at him. He was smiling at her, his eyes revealing the love he had for her.
"I'm glad you're okay Angel." Slyther replied kissing her face happily.
She sighed. "Bet you're even happier that Drea is alive too." She mumbled almost inaudibly under her breath.
Slyther pulled back. "You know about her?"
"I know Slyther. You don't have to pretend you love me, you can go back to her." Angel replied, waiting for him to peel away from her.
Slyther tightened his grip on her, much to her astonishment and said. "Drea and I were in the past. I want a future with you. I love you Angel."
Angel looked up at him, surprise and delight dancing together on her face. He leaned forward to kiss her. Angel accepted him, bringing her arms around his neck and drew closer to him. He caressed her back gingerly, smiling on her lips. He silently vowed he would do everything in his power to keep her alive, keep her out of danger, and keep her happy. Even if it meant his own life, he will make sure she lives a long, exultant life. She was definitely his buchee-bu now.
Angel felt as though she was floating on cloud nine, as corny as that sounded but it was true. No amount of words could even come close to describe this amazing feeling of intense pleasure and relief she was experiencing at this moment. The feeling of being in his arms made her feel something incredible. Something that not even Stitch had made her feel. When she was with Stitch, she only felt love whilst in Slyther's arms, she felt something more than just love. She felt true love as if he was the man she was destined to be with forever. He was definitely her buchee-bu.
As the pair kissed, the door swung open. At the sound of a small gasp, the two jumped apart. They smiled sheepishly at a gaping Lilo at the door. Her mouth was open ajar, but then she closed it and smiled. She winked at Slyther discreetly who winked back. Lilo adverted her gaze to Angel, who was beaming to conceal her embarrassment.
"Jumba wanted me to get Angel for him. He wants to examine her to make sure she's perfectly healthy." Lilo informed.
Angel nodded and leant over to give Slyther one last kiss before sliding off the bed. She gave Lilo a friendly embrace then left. Lilo closed the door, signaling to Slyther she was here to stay and chat with him. "That was quite a sight Slyther." She chuckled. "Does Drea know?"
"Yeah, she does. She didn't take it too well though." He replied, attempting to hide the guilt in his tone.
"It's normal Slyther, you don't need to bang yourself up over it. She'll be okay once she finds another guy to love." Lilo replied then spotted the dragon on the bed. "That her?" She was only answered with a nod from the silver experiment. She glanced back at the sleeping figure of Drea. "She's pretty."
"Yeah, she is. Her personality is even prettier, but I guess first love doesn't always last forever." Slyther said with a shrug.
"No, it doesn't. I just wish I can get that through Sparky's head." Lilo replied a little bit grouchy.
Slyther smiled. "He's still pestering you?"
"Yep. He's also babbling on and on about the promise ring Stitch gave to me." Lilo responded huffily.
"Oh well, he'll learn how to move on and… wait, what promise ring?" Slyther questioned.
Lilo held out her hand to show Slyther the beautiful small ring perched on her finger. "Stitch gave it to me on our first date."
"Wow. I never knew these promise rings existed. You two must have really loved each other." Slyther commented.
Lilo's felt a piece of her heart break when he said 'loved' and must 'have' in past tense. She and Stitch loved each other, but not anymore. Even though part of it was true, she denied it. "We still love each other. After we defeat Master, Stitch and I will be together again."
Slyther nodded. "Of course you will."
Silence hung in the air for a moment before Lilo decided there was nothing else to talk about and left after asking Slyther to inform Angel's health to her. Slyther promised her he would then with a slamming of the door, she was gone.
Lilo trailed to the house, but stopped when she saw Sparky getting ready to leave. She ran up to him to catch up with him. Sparky sighted her and paused in his steps, watching as she ran up to him. Lilo stopped an inch towards him, a small smile on her face.
"You leaving?" Lilo asked.
He nodded. "Yeah, there's not much else to do."
"Do you want to get a bite to eat? My treat." She interrogated.
A goofy grin spread across the yellow experiment's face. "Are you asking me out?"
Lilo laughed. "I might be. Seeing as how you're so hot."
Sparky raised his eyebrow. "If the real Stitch was here, just what would he think."
"Really you are." Lilo replied as she gripped his arm. He didn't feel like fire, but it wasn't so warm either. She knew about his fur getting hot when she had touched his back just barely under an hour ago. "Did you take a nap in the oven and just now woke up?"
They laughed together like old school friends and walked off. Lilo had felt some guilt for hurting him like she did in the dome and she wanted to make it up to him. She also wanted to help him find a girl so he could finally be happy with the girl he was destined to be with. The two friends laughed and joked together as they trailed along the sandy path of the beach. Lilo spotted the Hamburger Hut and made a dart for it. Sparky tore after her as well, his stomach beginning to growl.
Lilo was just inches ahead of him and he, wanting to be the leader, sprang from the ground and landed on top of her. A cloud of golden sand swirled behind them as they laughed and challenged each other to a pin fight. Lilo forced Sparky's back to the ground then leapt off before he could change their positions. He reached up and grabbed her ankle, making her fall head first in the sand. He tickled her sides, causing her to laugh and spit out sand at the same time. She reached back, only to painfully bump the back of her head with his forehead.
They both moaned in pain while chuckling awkwardly, both rubbing the soreness on their heads. Lilo began dusting herself off while he watched her, yearning tugging at his heart strings. Lilo finished dusting herself off then looked up at him with a smile. That smile egged him on. He grabbed her chin and leaned forward to peck the corner of her mouth, not fully. Lilo stared at him, baffled. She started to feel those old feelings she had thought were long gone begin stirring inside of her.
While the two friends stared at each other, a cold voice intervened the silence. "Having fun?" Lilo and Sparky felt shivers run down their spines as they looked up at the person who interrupted their friendly activities. Stitch stood there with his arms crossed and his eyes a malicious black instead of the usual loving. "Lilo, why would you do this to me? I told you that you were mine and here you are with him. Should I show you what happens when you betray experiment 626?"
Sparky stood, his brilliant eyes glaring at the experiment in front of him. "If you lay a finger on her I'll-"
"You'll what?" Stitch snarled. "Electrocute me? Please, I can withstand that now."
"Stitch, nothing happened." Lilo said to assure him. "We were just playing."
"He touched you." Stitch growled. "That's more than enough for me. You are mine and mine alone. No one is to touch you, but me!"
"She is not your property 626!" Sparky cried ludicrously. "She's not yours!"
Stitch snickered then pointed to the blue ring on the girl's finger. "Then why am I under the impression that the promise ring that I gave to her and that she accepted means that she's mine."
"I'm not yours." Lilo intervened with a hint of confidence in her throat.
Stitch turned to her with a taken aback expression on his face. "What did you say?"
"I'm not yours." Lilo gritted out slowly, so that every word she said would hit him and it did. Outside, Stitch looked angrier, but inside, he could feel a pang of hurt in his heart. What did she mean that she wasn't his? Is she and Sparky back together? He growled, causing Lilo to elaborate what she meant. "Stitch, the one who loved me, cared for me, and contained a heart of gold, gave this ring to me. Not you, you selfish, unloving, careless, monster! I belong to Stitch, not to you experiment 626!"
Stitch, or shall we say, 626 scowled with ire, his eyes narrowed into thin slits. The sight caused Lilo to panic, especially when he leapt at Sparky. She screamed as 626 attacked her friend, his claws ripping through the yellow fur and his teeth bared to emit a hiss. Sparky tried to fight him off, but 626 was stronger. Lilo watched as her prior lover assaulted Sparky and knew, even though she didn't want to, that she was going to have to harm him to protect Sparky.
She lunged at the blue experiment and tackled him to the ground. 626 reached up to claw at her, but she quickly grabbed his hands and pinned them to the ground. He struggled, but she kept all of her dead weight on top of him, preventing him to shift. Lilo thought of an idea, one that could surely get her killed, but she wanted to try to sooth him and to control her desire as well. She licked her lips which had became dry when Sparky had kissed her, then leaned down and enclosed her mouth around Stitch's lips.
The kiss took him by surprise, causing him to struggle underneath her, but eventually, he relaxed into it. For some strange reason, the kiss quelled all the anger and hatred he felt for the world. As her lips danced across his, he could feel his icy heart begin to melt, as if she was bringing something out of him. He laid limp on the ground, allowing her to lead. Her hands reluctantly released his to caress his ears, something that she had done so many times before.
Stitch reached up and brought his arms around Lilo, meticulously crushing her body against his. Lilo inhaled when she felt his chest press up against her, as if he wanted their bodies to melt into each other. Slowly, his tongue darted inside her mouth, tasting the warm treasures he hadn't reveled in for quite a while. He gripped her torso, letting her know he was going to flip them. Lilo eased into his grip, which gave him the okay sign and he rolled to be on top of her, this time dominating her. Lilo pressed his face close to hers, smiling in the kiss.
Sparky turned away from them since the moment Stitch had begun kissing her back. When he saw Lilo lick her lips and kiss Stitch on the mouth, fully. His heart twisted at the sight and for once, he actually hoped Stitch would do something bad to her to make her stop. However, he was mildly astonished and very much disgusted when he started to return her kiss and brought their bodies to join together. Even as he turned away, he could still envision them kissing and heard the part where Stitch had flipped her over. He looked back to see Stitch was on top of her and it looked like she was enjoying every moment of it. He thought about running off, but decided to stay in case he turns and hurts Lilo.
Leisurely, he pulled away from her lips, basking in the feeling of her warm breath breathing across his face. Lilo smiled contented as she opened her eyes, staring into Stitch's black orbs. She noticed his expressions softened and he looked at her with unconcealed love and devotion. Lilo caressed his face gently, her fingertips grazing across his beautiful ocean blue fur. He leaned down to capture her lips once more then rested his forehead on hers. Lilo stared deeply into his eyes, her heart jolted when she saw not 626, but Stitch, her Stitch.
I love you. Stitch desperately called into his mind, hoping she would hear. The silence was just too beautiful to destroy. He could see the love on her face and he hoped she could see it on his too.
Aw, I adore everything you do for me too 626. A cold voice replied back. Stitch could hear the wicked experiment snickering. Get away from that filth 626! You belong to me, not to her! Remember, I can easily kill her very early and the only thing you'll see of her, is her ashes when I burn her mangled body!
As if to emphasize what he meant, Stitch had a vision of him entering inside Lilo's dome and see Master with Lilo in his arms and a match that was lit just centimeters below her pretty tan face. Her body mutilated, bloodied, and broken and her clothes were tattered and torn. Stitch could feel tears beginning to form in his eyes as he pushed himself off Lilo.
Lilo, surprised by his abrupt change of emotion, shot up. Stitch brought up the barriers, obscuring his genuine emotions toward the girl he loved. 626 hissed at Lilo, his paw urging him to at least slap her, but he just couldn't do it.
"You stupid girl!" He spat at her. "I don't love you!"
"Then why did you kiss me?" Lilo asked, refusing to let the tears show.
Stitch, or 626 shall we say again, smirked evilly. "Well, when a girl kisses a guy, it is always a pleasure to the guy so he kisses her back to keep the pleasure running. It's not because they love them."
Lilo shook with distraught, but she still refused to give the monster the delight at seeing her tears. She turned away from him, the tears now streaming down her face. She thought back to before he pulled away so briskly. She remembered seeing the sweet face of her Stitch. The one who loved her for all he was worth. "I saw Stitch." She mumbled.
"It's just a one time thing girl. Don't expect to ever see that sight again." 626 responded as he swiveled to face the direction of his new home and left.
Lilo sniffed and Sparky stood. "That was quite a performance Lilo. I thought you two died and got stuck like that." He joked.
Lilo was not amused by his statement, but she hid it with a smile. "Well, let's go eat. I'm hungry."
Sparky reached over to grasp her hand. "Everything will be okay Lilo."
Lilo nodded. "Even with this small amount of faith, I know I'll be okay."
Merry Christmas!
