10 years later

He couldn't believe it. Matthew, the precious boy he grew up with, the only person in the entire world he loved, had blood cancer. This happened when he was finally free to roam earth as he pleases after serving his punishment. He was still a demon, that part of the punishment remained, but now he was free.

He watched as his beloved lay in the hospital bed, his breathing shallow. He was going to die soon. He could sense it. Gilbert was utterly terrified. His Matthew was going to die. He would never be able to see him again. Just the thought brought tears to his eyes.

"Gilly..." Came a weak voice as dull violet eyes peered over at the demon. "Please don't cry Gillybear..." He whispered as he gently wiped a stray tear from his face.

Gilbert only shook his head and a quiet sob escaped his lips. "Birdie... Matthew... I can't help it. What if I never see you again? I can't stand it..."

Matthew sighed and pulled the albino close before planting a weak kiss on his lips. "I'm sorry, but what I have is incurable, Gilbert. I'm dying and nothing can keep that from happening." He mumbled.

Gilbert nodded and laid down on the cot as he held Matthew close. He could die any second. This poor fragile human... He could hear each breath becoming more and more shallow. Gilbert couldn't help but think of the good times they've had, all the precious memories they shared.

Five years ago

The sound of laughter filled the small apartment. The twenty-year-old blonde was currently being assulted with suds that were being flung at him by a white demon.

"Gilbert! I'm trying to do the dishes here!" Matthew giggled.

Gilbert only chuckled and dropped a large amount of bubbles onto his head and the blonde retaliated by shoving the suds into Gilbert's face, who laughed and tackled Matthew to the ground and tickled his sides.

Matthew squealed and laughed louder as he squirmed underneath the albino. "Oh my god, Gil stop!" He giggled.

Gilbert laughed and eventually stopped, only to pull the smaller man into a kiss, which was happily returned. After that, the two were inseparable, and the kiss grew more heated until they finally pulled apart. They stared each other in the eyes, the stare-off only ending with another kiss, this time with tongue. Their tongues played with each other, fighting for dominance, and of course the demon won. They pulled apart once again, and Matthew was left breathless. As he looked up at Gilbert, he realized that he didn't know what he could do without his precious demon, and the demon thought the same thing about his precious human.

Present

It was too bad humans were so fragile. They always acted as if they would live forever, as if they were strong and could beat anything they put their mind to. It's terrible when you think about it. Humans die so easily. It just wasn't fair!

Gilbert watched as the life in Matthew's eyes began to fade. The blond looked up at his lover and his shaking hand reached up to caress the albino's face, wiping away a few tears.

"Gilbert, I know I'm dying, but can you do one more thing for me before I do?" He whispered, using as much strength as he can to simply talk.

"Of course, liebling..." The demon replied.

"I... I want a kiss..." He whispered, a faint blush spreading across his face.

Gilbert nodded before leaning over Matthew and placing a gentle kiss on his lips. The kiss was returned, but very faintly. Gilbert could hear the heart monitor speeding up rapidly as the blonde was edging towards his last seconds of life. Tears rolled down both their faces, mixing together as the kiss continued, slow and loving.

A few seconds later, all movement coming from Matthew stilled, even his lips, and the sound of the heart monitor was the only sound echoing in the room, making a constant shrill. The monitor had flatlined, and Matthew was dead.

"Goodbye, mein liebling... Ich liebe dich..." He whispered against his lips. He then pulled away reluctantly and stepped out of the way as the doctors rushed to the blonde's side.

"Time of death, 8:03 PM." One of the doctors announced.

AN: Okay guys, don't freak! This is not the end of the story yet! Though I am starting to wrap this up. But here's a little angst plus fluff for ya.

Ps. Apologies for posting so late. School sucks. That's all I have to say.
