Ok so, in the summer I had worked on a little short chapter, it's mostly a treat for the fans, but I'm wondering if I should or shouldn't post it. Only one other person had read it, and they seemed to enjoy it alot, it's just a fun chapter you know, it doesn't follow any part of the arc in Black Butler, nor is it matching in with the storyline of my fanfiction, as I said it's just a small treat for the fans. So tell me what you think, do you want to read it? Fyi I don't own the song in this chapter!
Chapter 31
~ASC~
He laughed as Tabitha told him about her life after. "John can not cook at all Damien, trust me on this!" John rolled his eyes at this, "One time I set the stove on fire!"
"YOU SET IT ON FIRE BY BOILING WATER!" They both shouted, and ended up laughing together. Sebastian was pouting behind the two as Ciel played with Joey in the park. "It's good talking with you Damien, you wouldn't believe how much I missed you." She told him, a soft smile graced her face. He smiled back at her and touched her hand, "I missed you too Toby, I'm sorry that I left." Sebastian's eyes widen and he looked at Matthew, surprised by the other's words.
"Matt-"
"Sebastian, I want some ice cream." Ciel ordered as he walked over to them, Joey running to Matthew's lap, the blonde slightly wincing since he had some faint bruises from last nights activities. What he didn't notice was John saw him flinch and stared at him for a while, before looking away.
Sebastian frowned and nodded, "Alright." Matthew had told him specifically not to leave Ciel alone in the park, he assumed the other might get easily kidnapped, considering he was that dumb to go in. He looked at the happy three and he walked to a ice-cream vendor with Ciel. "Master... Have you notice that Matthew is...a little different?"
"Yes I have known actually. I think Matthew missed his world more than he says...Or maybe he misses what was left in this world." He muttered.
"What did you say Master?" Sebastian said, not really paying attention as he bought his young lord the ice cream. "Nothing, just...doesn't it remind you of something?" He said as he looked over at Matthew and Tabitha.
John was playing with Joey on the ground, while the other two were playing on the swings together, a large smile grew on Matthew's face as he looked at her. Sebastian saw this and his hand tightened into a fist, as his Master mocked him with the song from the Lion King, "Can you feel the love tonight~" His eyes widen and he stared at his master, "What! No, Matthew? Impossible Master, he just misses his friend!" He didn't sound convincing himself, in fact he felt worried, but he shook his head at the very thought of it, and thought to himself, 'It is impossible. Matthew has been reborn into a demon! A demon once mated, will not seek love from another, in fact their other side would rip the offending being that would dare try to come between us. Matthew isn't in love, he is just glad to be with his friend again.'
He couldn't believe that he would doubt Matthew for a second, and he walked over to them and gave Matthew a small push on the swing, and his beautiful mate turned his head and his smile soften as he stared at Sebastian and just turned his head forward, his mind becoming unblocked for the other, 'Sebus I love you~'
'I love you too Damien~'
~ASC~
Ciel sighed as he and Sebastian once again followed after Matthew and Tabitha. The two were still in deep conversation, this time even John had joined in, the way they all spoke to each other is as if they grew up together, as you can guess, this did not sit well with Sebastian, even though he knew it was innocent, it didn't mean he wasn't jealous that Matthew was now giving his attention to someone else.
The trio stopped at a crossing road and John looked at his watch, "Ah, Tabitha, I have to go now, don't forget you can't miss your classes."
"Ok, goodbye John!" He nodded to her and ran off the other direction.
Matthew blinked in surprised and looked down at Tabitha, "Classes?"
"Oh right. Well...I'm in college." She said, playing with a lock of her hair out of habit.
Matthew's smile seemed to falter as he looked at her, "C-college?" She nodded, looking away from him as she tucked the loose strand of hair, "Yeah. John helped me get into the school, he's actually a teacher, he uhm...teaches history." They stood in silence as people passed them by, trying to cross the street. Sebastian raised an eyebrow at this, he knew Matthew was upset now, but he didn't knew why 'college' caused it all. Matthew raised his head and smiled at Tabitha, "It's good that you're in college." He placed a hand on her shoulder and she gave him a small smile, "Yeah."
Matthew shoved his hands into his pockets, the leash of Joey's tight in his right hand, and he started walking down the street, the others following after him. He looked ahead, Tabitha staying silent and Sebastian now by his side.
'What is wrong?' Sebastian's words echoed in Matthew's mind, and the blonde's smile disappeared all together, '...I've never realized how much she's already done compared to me. Now that I look back, I never knew what I wanted out of life, never bothered to show interest in anything. I can't help but wonder what I have done with my old life...' Sebastian's eyebrows scrunched together, he didn't knew what to say to Matthew, and now that he thought about it, he didn't know anything of Matthew's old life, or of what he did before coming to them, he never asked because Matthew never asked about his own life.
"Hey Damien." Tabitha called.
He snapped out of his little trance and looked down at Tabitha, "Yes?"
"Now that you're back, are you going to visit the orphanage?" She asked.
Matthew shook his head, "I can't face Sister Iriam. She would feel ashamed that I...that I ran away."
"No, she would understand, you know...she's still around. She's lost her sight, but, still she takes care of the others." Tabitha looked up at Matthew and he had a small smile on his face, "That old bag still preaching." He released a small chuckle and shook his head. "Re-remember when we tried to steal some cookies for your birthday, and she caught us?"
"Oh yes, and then she whipped our behinds with that damn ruler of hers!"
"And then she made us stay all day in the room!"
"I remember!" She laughed and said, "Remember that Edward was so disappointed, and he was apologizing over and over saying that this was the worst birthday ever for me." Matthew covered his mouth, his body shaking as he laughed, he took in a deep breath and said, "And then Sister Iriam came upstairs close to bed time with a chocolate cake for you. She was upset cause she worked hard in making it, and she thought we were going to find it."
"Yeah...that was my favorite birthday."
Matthew smiled down at her and lightly bumped her with his shoulder, "Those were the good days." Tabitha chuckled and nodded at that, and the smile slowly disappeared, "Damien?"
"Yes."
"Did you at least visit your folks?"
Matthew stopped and looked at his feet. "You've never once visited them Damien?" She asked in concern, her hand touching his arm.
"Would it matter?" Matthew sighed and stared up at the bright sun that shined down on him, "I think it would." Tabitha said. Something started beeping and Matthew turned his head to her. Tabitha reached into her pocket and pulled out a cellphone, "Oh shoot. I have to go now, can we meet up again?"
"Yeah. Of course."
"Good. Meet me tomorrow at the park at 3." She gave him a quick hug and waved to Sebastian and Ciel, "Good bye! See you tomorrow!" She ran off and Matthew sighed and started walking back to the two. "You've never visited your mother and father's grave?" Ciel asked as he looked up to Matthew. The Blonde just shrugged and continued to walk, "I didn't see them get buried, or gave them a last good-bye. They locked me up in an asylum for a few months because they thought I was insane." Matthew sighed and turned his head to look at the two, "What would be the point anyways?"
Sebastian moved closer to Matthew and he whispered, "I...I would like to see my mate's parents. Would that be alright?"
"I would like to also." Ciel said as he grabbed Matthew's hand.
Matthew looked at them both and shook his head, "Do what you guys want. I think they are buried in Richmond Cemetery."
"You have to come with us Matthew. We don't know the way." Sebastian looped his arm to Matthew's and the Blonde huffed and said, "Fine. Do what you like." And he started walking in the direction of the cemetery.
Sebastian flipped through the book as the groundskeeper waited for him. "Found it." He said as he handed the book back to the man. "Let's go." Ciel said as he followed after Sebastian. Matthew looked at the hundreds of graves and trudged after the two.
They were standing still as they faced two headstones. Joey was sniffing them, while Sebastian went down on one knee and he touched the left one, "Matthew D. Ross. Musician, singer, husband, and beloved father." He said aloud. Ciel turned his head and looked at Matthew, "What does the D stand for?"
"Damien. It stands for Damien."
"So his middle name, is your real name." Sebastian said as he lightly touched the words.
"Yes."
"Do you call yourself Matthew, because you loved your father? Or because you wanted to remember him?" Ciel asked.
"Because I want to be as great as him someday." Matthew stared at the tombstones, and whispered, "Sometimes I wonder if I'm even in the same leagues as him." He gave a small smirk and started walking away. "I'll wait for you both outside. Ok."
Sebastian watched him leave and looked at Ciel, "Reminds me of you, Young Master."
"We both strive to be like our fathers, it's a hard and horrid journey, even more so when sometimes you realize you're never going to be like your father. Instead, you are your own person." Ciel walked over to the tombstones and touched them both, "Thank you Matthew, and Lilian Ross. I know you were there to help your son when we were caught in the Siren's spell, and most likely there to bring him back to us. He's a wonderful person, and sometimes I wish he could see how important he is to everyone who loves him." Ciel stood up and started to leave, "Don't take to long Sebastian. I'm getting hungry." Sebastian nodded and he stared at the tombstones.
"Your son..." He gave a small smile and shook his head, "Your son is something else." He placed his hands into his pockets and walked away.
As he made his way to the entrance of the cemetery, he saw Matthew cradling Ciel, the small boy sleeping in his arms. "I think I made him walk to much Sebastian." Matthew softly laughed and stared at Ciel, pressing his lips to young master's temple, "He should have told us sooner." Sebastian smirked and snaked his arm around Matthew's waist. "You sure he's tired? Maybe he just wants you to hold him like the child he is."
"My demon should not speak unless ordered too." Ciel lifted his head and glared at Sebastian. Sebastian looked away and Matthew laughed at the two, "Let's get you something to eat Ciel." Matthew ruffled his hair and Ciel wrapped his arms around Matthew's neck, "Can I have some soda again?"
"Yeah sure, anything you want Ciel." He whispered softly as he headed back to his house, his mate right beside him, and his master in his arms, and his little pup following after him.
~ASC~
Matthew and Sebastian sat down on the bench. Sebastian's legs were crossed, and he looked calmly at the people in the park. Matthew on the other hand was bouncing on his seat, "She said 3! What's taking her so long."
Sebastian frowned when he saw how eager the other was acting for his friend, and he said, "Matthew your acting very strange. I think we need to tal-"
"Sorry I'm late guys!" Tabitha ran to them and she panted as she looked at the two, "Oh my god, I really have to speak to you."
"What's wrong?" Matthew asked.
"Please, please, please don't get mad!" She begged.
"Out with it." Sebastian demanded, getting very pissy at the woman. Matthew glared at him and looked to Tabitha, "What is it?"
"Well...do you guys have girlfriends?" She bit her lower lip and stared at them.
"Huh?" They both said.
~ASC~
Matthew smacked his forehead on the table, "Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid." He muttered over and over. Sebastian sighed and made him straighten up, "You agreed."
"You're the one that wanted to experience clubs!" Matthew harshly whispered.
"It sounded fun, though now I wonder why the hell the humans are doing such sexual acts out in front of others." Sebastian stared at the people dancing as some random person sung on the karaoke machine, and Matthew rolled his eyes. "Ah, hey guys!" Tabitha walked over to them, with two other brunette girls following behind, "Hey Toby." Matthew smiled at her and the brunette slid into the booth, the girls did the same and they stared at them, "Hi I'm Samantha, and this is my sister Kimberly." They held out their hands and Sebastian and Matthew lightly squeezed the hands, "My name is Damien, and this is my dear friend Sebastian."
The girls giggled and whispered to Tabitha, "Your friends are very handsome." Tabitha laughed nervously and looked at the two, they were still mad at her. This was all her fault after all, she had agreed for these two girls to meet them, and that they were single. She had begged them because the girls were actually jerks to her, and she just wants to go through college without any trouble. Of course the two, this being Matthew saying yes while Sebastian followed along, had no choice at all, but to accept.
"So how do you know Tabitha?" Kimberly asked as she twirled her brown hair on her thin finger, and she just stared at Matthew.
"Oh, we grew up together." Matthew said.
"And you?" Samantha stared at Sebastian, her pink tongue licking her glossy lips, her intentions were obvious to anyone who was looking over to them. Sebastian smirked and he leaned into his seat, "Actually, I haven't really gotten to know her that well. But I do apologize Tabitha, for taking him away to 'Germany' and have him teach my little brother."
"Oh you take care of your little brother?" Samantha placed her hands on the table and she gave Sebastian a seductive smile, "I love a man who cares for his brother~"
"Hardly," Matthew butted in, "I take better care of him than he does. All he does is let him eat sweets all the time." Sebastian raised an eyebrow at Matthew and smirked, "Oh, and your any better? You get into bed with him when ever he tells you to and sing him lullabies. You baby him to much."
"I don't baby him! And you shouldn't be talking, you play cruel jokes on him!" He shouted.
"Only cause he does the same to me!" He argued back
The two girls giggled and said, "Wow, you seem really close to each other."
"Yeah. You could say that." Matthew chuckled nervously and whistled loudly, "Can we get some drinks or something!"
'Again?' Sebastian thought to him.
'Something tells me I'm going to need as many as possible.' Matthew thought back.
The waiter came over and they all ordered drinks. "Oh Damien," Tabitha said messing with her hair again, "I kind of signed you up for karaoke."
"EH!" He screamed.
"Oh you can sing?" Kimberly asked.
"Uhm well...I'm not that great."
"Oh don't be so modest." Sebastian said, trying to hide a laughter behind his hand.
"Damien Ross please come to the stage. It's your turn to sing!" The DJ said over the mic.
"Woo! Go Damien!" The girls said as Sebastian pushed him out of the booth. Damien gulped and walked to the stage. He looked at the little machine and flipped through the songs. There was only one he knew and he suddenly felt really embarrassed. "Picked a song yet buddy?" The DJ asked, getting tired of waiting.
"The only one I know is this one!" Matthew whispered, his face red from embarrassment.
"Oh...well good luck buddy." The DJ snorted and shook his head at the blonde.
"Wait!" He grabbed him and pleaded, "Can't you, I don't know, help or something!"
"Well...Ok, just give me a second." He disappeared backstage and Matthew stared at the crowd waiting for him to sing, "Come on dude!" Someone shouted. He gulped and grabbed the mic, "Um, I only know one song so...yeah." There was strange humming sound and Matthew turned his head as he saw a band behind him plugging in their instruments. "Don't worry dude, we got your back." The lead guitarist said as he strapped on his red Gibson guitar. Matthew smiled hesitantly and nodded, "Ok well, here we go I guess." The band started the intro to Toxic, and Matthew slowly got into the beat of the song, and he took a deep breath as he sanged.
"Baby can't you see,
I'm callin~
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm fallin~
The crowds of people started cheering and Sebastian smirked as he stared at Matthew.
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby gimmie it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it~
Matthew took a deep breath to sing the next part, but the lead guitarist went next to him and started screaming into the mic.
Too high
Can't come down
Losing my head
Spinnin round and round!
Matthew stared at him in shock, and smirked, and together they started to sing
Do you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips I'm
On a ride~
You're toxic I'm slipping under!
With the taste of your poison paradise~
I'm addicted to you don't you know
That your toxic?
Matthew and the guitarist jammed together, moving against each other as the other strummed on the guitar and he stared at Sebastian, a smirk coming onto his lips and he grabbed the mic again.
And I love what you do, don't
You know that your toxic?
It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my Devil's cup
Slowly~ it's taking
Over me...~
Matthew's eyes started to shift and his fangs started to peak out as his body moved to the beat, and Sebastian stared back at him with glowing blood-red eyes.
Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride~
Your toxic I'm slippin under
With the taste of your poison paradise~
I'm addicted to you don't you know
That you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't
You know that you're toxic?
Matthew and the guitarist started moving to the band's solo, the bass player strumming his guitar, and Matthew pointed at Sebastian as he sanged louder.
With the taste of your lips I'm
On a ride~!
You're toxic I'm slippin under
With the taste of your poison paradise~
I'm addicted to you don't you know
That you're toxic?
With the taste of your lips I'm
On a ride~
You're toxic I'm slippin under
With the taste of your poison paradise~
I'm addicted to you, don't you know
That you're toxic?
And I love what you do, don't
You know that you're toxic?~
The song ended and the club exploded into cheers. Matthew looked at the guitarist and shook hands with him, "Thanks for the help."
"No problem mate, but you might want to control yourself. Your eyes are peeping." He winked at Matthew, his own eyes shifting to gray, then back to brown, and he and his friends started to get ready for the next songs.
Matthew blinked in surprised, and suppressed his demonic side, and he jumped off the stage and walked over to the others, they were clapping their hands as he approached and he grinned sheepishly as he sat down. "Ah, that was soo cool!" The girls squealed. The waiter came over with the drinks and Sebastian clinked his glass to Matthew's, "Yes, that was very interesting." Matthew gave a small laugh and he looked to Tabitha, "You had to make me sing."
"What, you know you love it." She giggled and took a small sip of her drink.
"Ooh, I love this song!" Samantha jumped up and down and grabbed Sebastian's hand, "Come on, let's dance big boy." Sebastian was pulled away to the dance floor, and he looked to Matthew for help. Matthew sighed mentally and he looked to Kimberly, "Would you like to-"
"Though you'd never asked!" She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the floor.
Matthew felt slightly uncomfortable with the bodies pressing up against him, but he looked to Sebastian, doing alot worse off than him as the girl displayed how slutty she really was, and he thought, 'Follow my moves.' Matthew moved his body against Kimberly's, and the brunette responded by grinding her hips against him. Sebastian glared at Matthew, and his mate just smirked at him, 'This girl knows what she's doing, makes me wonder~'
'Keep it up Matthew, I'll take you in the back alley and make you scream!' He grabbed Samantha and his hands trialed around her body as he mimicked the dancers and Matthew around him. The girls gave a slight moan as the two men tried to make the other jealous.
"Enjoying yourself, aren't you?" Matthew flirted, his fangs wanted to grow, but he had to hold it back. Someone in the club smelled delicious. Kimberly giggled at that and whispered, "I can do more than this. Why don't we ditch the loser and go back to our apartment." Matthew stared at her, surprised by her words, and he looked at Tabitha. She had a small smile on her lips, but her eyes told a different story as she sat alone in the booth.
'Matthew, I feel like ripping this girl apart!' Sebastian growled.
'So do I. I think we should speak to them privately. Now!'
"Come with me." Matthew grabbed her arm and Sebastian did the same to Samantha and they took them outside the club. "Oh, so rough." Samantha said as the boys released them. "Shut up and listen." Matthew threatened. The girls stared at him in surprised and Samantha frowned and placed her hands on her hips, "Do you know who you're talking to?!"
"No. Do you?" Matthew's and Sebastian's form changed and the girls gasped and they tried to run. But Sebastian was behind them already. "Tell me, what did my friend do to you?" Matthew growled, his fangs peeking out. Kimberly gripped Samantha's arm and Samantha glared at them, "So this bitch put you up to this! I should have gotten rid of her in middle school!" Matthew paused and stared at her, "You know her form middle school?"
"Who could forget that cunt! That bitch attacked my sister and I when we tried to be fucking friendly! She gets what she deserves!" Matthew's claws grew and his hand struck straight at her. She flinched and stared at the claws that were hovering mere inches from her face, ready to pierce her eyes, "Oh don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. You see, you're not my type of meal~" He touched her cheek with the back of his hand, his claws lightly skimming the soft skin, and he gripped her chin tightly, "But, my mate here might be different!" Sebastian smirked as he stared at the girls, "As starving as I am, even I'm not desperate enough to eat poor quality souls."
"Well, even if we don't eat you, we are not above killing you. What would the world care for two dead girls, mauled by...oh let see, how about bears?"
"Nah, I prefer mountain lions, they know how to rip apart their prey." He smiled, and his fangs glinted in the street lamps. The girls gulped and held each other tightly. Kimberly looked at Matthew and whimpered, "Please don't kill us. We'll do anything!"
"Oh I don't doubt that at all. But, what makes you believe that I trust your words." Matthew smirked and he looked at Sebastian. "Do it."
Sebastian nodded and he grabbed the girls and made them face me. He stared at them, his liquid red eyes seemed to hypnotize them, and he said, "You'll leave her alone, you won't speak to her, and you'll allow her to live her life as she pleases." They nodded, their eyes hollowed and doll like and Sebastian released them. "Leave vermin. When you reach your home, you will only remember getting home." They nodded once more, and started leaving.
Matthew smirked and started heading to the club, "I'm going to check Tabitha. Sebastian, you should go ahead and head back. I don't feel comfortable, leaving Ciel all alone."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Don't worry."
"Fine, but I'll come by to see you later."
Matthew nodded and he walked into the club. Tabitha was still sitting by herself, she looked ready to cry as she went through her purse. Matthew went to her and slid into the booth, "Hey, sorry about that." Matthew reached over and closed her purse. "The girls had to go, something about leaving the stove on."
"Oh, and what about Sebastian?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes, trying to pretend that she wasn't going to cry. "He was worried about Ciel, so he went to go check on him." Tabitha smiled at him and patted his hand, "You're a good friend Damien." Matthew gave her a small smile and he held her hand, "Nah, if I was a good friend I wouldn't have left." She shook her head and held his hand tightly, "Matthew?" Matthew stared at her, surprised that she called him Matthew. "I was talking to John at school today. You know, if you want...you can go to school also. All you have to do is take the high school exam, and he can get you in."
Matthew blinked, slightly stunned, "What would that mean though?"
"Well, wouldn't you like to go to school? You know it's hard to do anything without some form of education." She said.
Matthew tapped the table with his free hand and a he smirked, "College huh?..." Matthew shook his head and looked up at her, "Let's talk about this later ok?" She nodded and she looked to the dance floor. Matthew saw this and noticed that the band was playing Lips of an Angel by Hinder, Tabitha's favorite song. "Want to dance?" He asked her.
She looked at him in surprised then quickly nodded, "Yeah sure." They slid out of the booth and Matthew escorted her to the floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her's around his neck. They moved slowly to the song, and Matthew smiled at his dear friend, a strange old feeling that he thought dead, was rising and he started noticing small things. Her eyes were large and brown, when she smiled she revealed dimples, her hair was straight and was a soft chestnut color, her skin was white and not a mark of imperfection was on it, even though she was in a gang and fought like a beast. Her body felt perfect against his own, her figure was that of an hourglass, and the perfume she was wearing matched her scent perfectly.
Matthew found himself pulling her closer to his own, and she seemed to notice him as well. They seemed lost in their own world, not caring for the people around them, or where they were. That old feeling just kept growing and growing in Matthew, and he wondered if Tabitha was feeling the same way. The song finished playing and the two snapped out of their daze and pulled away from each other. "Ah...it's-it's getting late." Tabitha looked away, a slight blush on her face and Matthew nodded, "Yeah. I'll walk you home, ok?"
"Thanks." She went to the table and reached for the money in her purse, but Matthew placed a hand on her's, "I got this." He reached into his pocket, and left the money on the table. "Thanks again." She mumbled. Matthew gave her a small smile and he walked her out of the club, and to the direction of her apartment. They stayed in silence, both wondering what they were doing, and wondering if it was right. Tabitha stopped at an apartment complex and she looked at Matthew, "This is my stop." She refused to look up at him, knowing that if she did, she wouldn't stop staring at him. Matthew smiled down at her and looked at the building, "Looks nice."
"Yeah, it's a good neighborhood also. People are nice, and it's not far from the school." A cool spring wind fluttered by, and tousled her hair around, a lock falling in front of her face. Matthew brought his hand up and tucked the lock behind her ear, his hand lingered for a bit against her warm skin, and he cradled her cheek. She stared up at him and their gazes couldn't be torn apart.
"S-some day huh?" She stuttered, a small blush painting her cheeks.
"Yeah, it was...fun." He rubbed her cheek with his thumb, and brought his face closer. She noticed this, her heart beating fast, and she quickly said, "So will you think over about our offer?"
"Hm...it might not be so bad at all. Going to school and all." His thumb touched her lips, "D-damien?" She stared at him, her heart beating louder in her chest, as she could feel the warmth of the other's body radiating, and he whispered, "Tabitha~" He pressed his lips to her and she dropped her bag in shock. Electricity flowed through their body, and Tabitha wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back.
Sebastian stared in shock at this, he didn't move, didn't make a sound, he just stood there and watched from afar. His heart felt like it was being crushed, and rage was slowly starting to fill it. He turned his back and left the two alone.
Matthew pulled away from Tabitha and he stared at her. She stared back at him and stepped away, "Goodnight...Damien." She looked at him one more time and quickly ran inside, thinking over in her mind, 'What am I doing? I promised myself that I wouldn't try again, I already had my chance to be with him, and failed.' She opened her door and locked it. Her back pressed against the door and she slid to the ground as she touched her lips, "I...kissed him." She had a small smile on her face, and muttered once more, "I kissed him."
Matthew stared at the apartment complex and he disappeared, now on the roof of his home, his own hand touching his lips.
"Was it everything you dreamed of?"
Matthew's eyes widen and he turned around to see Sebastian, full form, and glaring at him. "Did you-"
"See? Yes, I did." He stalked over to Matthew and started circling him, "I should have known. You were in love with her before, weren't you!" Matthew looked to the ground and Sebastian growled in anger and he grabbed Matthew's chin, and forced the blonde to look at him, "Weren't you!"
"Yes, yes I was! It was an accident, a fluke. I got lost in the moment of things ok!" Matthew said, though even he couldn't believe his own words. "You're...you're lying!" Sebastian gripped Matthew's neck and he snarled at him, his fangs peeking out, "You are my mate!" He squeezed the neck tightly and Matthew winced in pain as he stared at Sebastian with wide eyes as he tried to breathe. "I'm going to kill her so those ridiculous thoughts get out of your head!" He pushed Matthew away and kicked off the building.
"No!" Matthew shouted as he followed after. Sebastian ignored him and he was tackled by Matthew. The two demons hit a building, and tumbled off and crashed into the sidewalk. Sebastian sat up and shooked his head of the rubble. "You're going to defend her!"
"I'm going to protect her from you!" Matthew slammed Sebastian's body to the ground, and the older demon growled in anger and flipped him over, doing the same to him. "What is wrong with you! A demon never falls for another once he's found his soul mate!" He shouted.
"What does it matter! You already have me as your own!" Matthew stared at Sebastian, and the black-haired demon stared back at his mate. "You think that makes up for it!" Sebastian stood up and shook the dust off of himself. Matthew's nails digged into his palms and he stood up as well, "What do you want me to say? That I did, and might still love her? Did you know that she's willing to help me start my life back here again." Sebastian's body flickered, and he appeared in front of the blonde and shoved him against a wall, "You dare even think of a life with her!" His claws stabbed into Matthew's shoulder and the Blonde winced in pain, "Would you stop and actually listen to me, before you start saying whatever comes to your mind!"
"HOW CAN I LISTEN WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR MIND CLOSE FROM ME EVERY DAY!" Sebastian pushed Matthew to the ground and he looked down at him. Matthew felt tears prickling his eyes and his shoulders shook in anger, "Do you know how much of an ass you can be! If it's not one thing, it the other with you!"
"Like you should ever speak! Tell me, did the only reason you want to adopt Tabitha from our world, because you were still in love! What were you going to do, marry her when she was old enough!"
"No you stupid git!" Matthew gripped his hair in frustration and slammed his fist into the building, leaving a large dent, "I did love them like my own children! And I love you. I'm sorry for what I did tonight with her, can you even blame me for what I did?"
"Yes, a thousand times yes!" Sebastian shouted.
Matthew stared at him, and his hands fell to his sides and he whispered, "Is it wrong of me, to wonder what kind of life I could have if I started back? To make amends, to right the wrong, and to do something for myself."
"If you want to stay here so damn much go ahead!" Sebastian shouted, "But don't come crying to me when she fucking dies because of you, just like everyone else!" Matthew's mouth fell open, and he stared at Sebastian in shock. Sebastian's eyes widen when he realized what he said to the blonde, and he stumbled over to him, his own voice cracking, "I-I didn't want to say that to you."
"But you meant it didn't you..."
"Matthew." Sebastian stepped forward, his hand went to Matthew's shoulder and the Blonde lifted his head and stared at Sebastian, a pink tear slid down his face and he gave Sebastian a sad smile, "You're right. Everyone keeps dying...because of me..."
"Matthew I-"
"I'm so sorry for everything Sebastian." Matthew turned his back to the other, jumped up and disappeared into the darkness.
"Matthew!" Sebastian jumped after him and looked around. He couldn't sense him anywhere, there wasn't even a trace of him left behind. "What...what have I done." Sebastian fell to his knees and he hit the building below him. "Damn it!" He hit the building over and over, bloody tears falling down his face, "I'm so sorry Matthew! Please come back! Please come back to me!" He whispered into the darkness, dread replacing the anger and he cried out for the other.
