Erin felt happiness bloom in his heart at the smile he hasn't seen since Emily was assaulted. He was elated that he could pull such a smile out of Arish at a time like this. He smiled into the short kiss Arish gave him, and was surprised when it broke and he was pulled out of the building.

 

"I need to clear my mind. I need you to help me Erin."

 

Erin blinked in confusion at Arish, before he was pushed backwards and was pressed between the wall and Arish. There was no room for his to escape, but Erin had to admit, he didn't want to. The brunette wrapped his arms around Arish's shoulders in response, pulling him closer if that was even possible.

 

"I love you."

 

Erin's bright green eyes widened slightly at the confession, before he smiled sweetly up at the dark haired half-angel. "I love you too," He whispered shyly, looking deeply into coal colored eyes. He tangled tan hands in dark hair and pulled the other into a loving kiss.

[Teesie]

Kissing the other back, his hands snaking down under the other's ass before picking his lover up pressing the smaller against the wall, having the brunette to wrap his slim tanned legs around his waist. Lightly nibbling on the smaller's plump pinkish lips, the half mortal asking for entrance he walked forward leaving absolutely no space between them. Continuing to kiss the other he pulled away licking his own lips.

 

Green eyes stared into his coal eyes as the angel stood silently.....emotionless. Coal eyes darting to each green orb, the taller male searched for the emotions reigning through his boyfriend's eyes. He didn't wish to make the other feel uncomfortable, but the male just wanted his mind off of his sister....off of the demon infant that had killed her.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin let out a soft squeak as strong hand picked him up and pressed him more into the wall. He clung to the other tightly as the kiss continued and deepened with each little nibble. Erin let out a soft, breathless whine, when Arish pulled away. Erin kind of missed moments like this, Arish had been understandably distant lately, and had spent the last nine months looking after his sister. Erin was still with him a lot, but they rarely had any time to themselves to do anything, and when they were by themselves Erin was always to shy to instantiate anything. He didn't feel like it's be right during a time like that. It was hardly right, right now, but what ever made Arish feel better.

 

Erin looked at Arish lovingly, and could tell, even behind the emotionless exterior the half-angel was a little nervous. Arish was never one to cause anyone he cared for discomfort of any sort. The brunette, again, pressed his lips to the other's, moving his lips softly against Arish's.

[Teesie]

Moaning softly he pushed his lower body into the small brunette's before slowly grinding against him and kissing the other's lips back. His boyfriend was sweet and had a taste of honey. Softly moaning the angel gripped the petit teen's waist before pulling away from the kiss and burying his face in Erin's neck before thrusting his pelvis forward into the human's, giving a gasp as he felt an erection forming.

 

"Erin...I need you." The dark haired male pleaded with a small kiss to the tanned neck. All Arish could do was wait for the smaller's answer. Groaning a little, the wind blowing through both thier hair the coal eyes stared at nothing in particular waiting to hear his love's answer.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin gasped and shivered as Arish thrust his hips up against his. He let out a soft moan, and forced his hips not to move on their own against his boyfriend's. This was not the place and time for any of that; they were outside of a hospital for Pete's sake. Maybe if they were somewhere more privet Erin would give in, but he did not like this kind of public affection that much. To add to the fact some people were giving the pair odd stares as they walked by.

 

"Arish," he finally managed whimper out, "Maybe we shouldn't, at least not here." As he said that he spotted Arish's parents exit the hospital, visibly upset, and they seemed to be looking for him. The baby was no where in sight.

 

The brunette nudged the other slightly. Erin manged to squirm out of the other's strong grip, and get his feet back on the ground. "Arish, you parents," He whispered, still blushing slightly form their previous activities.

[Teesie]

Sneering the teen stepped away from his boyfriend feeling rejected, before looking to his parents and frowned. "Tsk...what do they want?" he asked softly but mostly to himself. Glancing back to Erin he didn't know whether to hug and kiss the other or walk away. Biting his lip he chose neither as his parents spotted him.

 

Finally looking to his right he was assaulted with the vision of his father's highly upset face. Baring his teeth he stepped away from his lover and looked his father in the eyes.

 

"Son...what are you doing out here? Your suppose to be in the hospital....looking after your nephew." His voice was showered in disappointment. Coals eyes only stared to the man before averting to the ground.

 

"I know you two expect me to accept that....monster! I won't....I won't do it." Arish's voice quieting to almost a sob.

 

"Then what will you do?" The woman of the family said. "You know that it was your sister's wishes!" Her eyes were saddened and she tried her hardest not to cry.

 

"Emily was a fool! She chose to die!" Though after his outburst his eyes widen, but an audible slap echoed through the atmosphere. The woman pulled her hand back as Arish looked up to her with tears in his eyes before placing a hand on his cheek.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin stood awkwardly off to the side, feeling horrible for hurting his boyfriend. He didn't mean too hurt him, if Arish's parents hadn't shown up he would have just suggested going to somewhere more privet to continue. Tears filled his eyes, but he held them off, and stared down at his feet. He didn't want to hurt Arish even more.

 

"Emily was a fool! She chose to die!"

 

Erin head snapped up at the words, eyes wide in shock. He knew even Arish couldn't believe he just said that. He had to fight down the urge to jump to Arish's defense at the slap his mother delivered, but he had to handle this delicately. Arish was visibly upset, and confronting his parents at this state would only make things worse. Just dragging his boyfriend away was not an option, these were his parents, not just any random people.

 

He hastily grabbed his boyfriend's hand tightly, and stuttered out, "I-I think Arish needs to go home. He's just upset and needs to think."

[Teesie]

The women looked to the young brunette and frowned slightly before taking a deep breath. "Mm....maybe you should just go home yourself Erin." The women said politely, the woman did not want to be mean to the small teen, but she was going to tell her son whatever she wanted. "It's getting late and maybe your parents are worried about you."

 

The black haired teen male looked to his boyfriend. Arish could tell that his parents were upset and didn't want to take their anger out on him. Slowly grabbing the other around the waist the angel shook his head at his parents. "I have him....with me. He comforts me, can he stay with me."

 

"Hm...what should we do?" Looking to his wife.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin shrunk back timidly from Arish's parents. He pressed more into his boyfriend's side, he didn't want to make the situation worse, but he didn't want to leave Arish by himself. The half-angel needed him now more than ever. The brunette chewed on his lip nervously, green eyes flickering between the two adults and Arish. He then decided he was going to stay by his boyfriend's side, but he wasn't going to say much else. Erin's father made it his mission in life to remind Erin how much of a screw up he was, and for the longest time the sixteen year old believed him. When he told that to Arish that once he made sure Erin knew he wasn't a screw up, but the smaller teen was beginning to have doubts again.

 

Erin bit the inside of his cheek, and looked at the woman who had been more of a mother to him than his own mother, and slowly shook his head no. He made his decision, he was staying by Arish's side no matter what.

[Teesie]

"What do you mean no? You should go home...you'll only make things worse and stress Arish out. Don't be selfish...go ho-

 

"No leave him alone....he hasn't done anything wrong and he had the right to stay with...our son." The fully angel explained, looking to his wife with a plead. The last thing that Arik wanted to do was have his wife take out her anger and sadness on the first defenseless creature she could. Seeing that the other was a human the man knew that he was an easy target.

 

Eyes steering back to the small brunette he slightly smile. "My wife is upset. She doesn't mean anything by it, please look over her. Your special to this family and we don't mean to hurt you." A light smile grazing his lips as sapphire eyes met with green ones. Arish only tightened his grasp on his lover. No matter if his parents were to tell the brunette to leave the dark haired male wouldn't have let him.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin tried to smile a little at the angel's words, and tried not to let the woman's words get to him. But he still felt bad, was he really being selfish right now? Was he really stressing out his boyfriend more by being there? The situation was a bit more tense with him around. He felt the arm tighten around his waist, and knew that Arish didn't want him to go, but still. Even if was special to the family, and Arish's mother was just upset, Erin still felt like he was intruding on the Lefunts.

 

Erin opened his mouth to say something, but his phone vibrated in his pocket. His mother was kind enough to get him a new prepayed phone a month ago. He hesitantly took out the phone and answered it, "H-hello?"

 

"Get home you worthless brat, Anne and I are going out and we need someone to watch our kids," A rough voice growled out on the other end, making Erin flinch slightly. His father never did consider Erin his child.

 

"Yes sir," The brunette said weakly before hanging up the phone. He stuck the phone back in his pocket, and looked up at Arish apologetically. He felt horrible for leaving, but there was no arguing with his father. He's such a coward sometimes.

 

"I-I have to go..." He muttered, looking up at Arish, sadness present in eyes. "My father wants me home to watch my brothers....". He hoped Arish would forgive him for leaving.

[Teesie]

The dark haired teen frowned before gripping onto the other tightly. "I need you....." Coal eyes holding onto the green ones as they clashed. Arish thought that his boyfriend should stand up against his father sometimes....he would be with him and there was no way that his parent, or him for the matter, would ever let the man into their house so that he could hurt Erin.

 

Staring at the small petit brunette the half angel bit into his lip listening for his lover's answer. He was being selfish he knew, but he needed his love with him....at least for the night. "Erin...please." Sadness struck him, it was ridiculous how he would cry over something so trivial; but his emotions was out of wack...he couldn't help it.

 

"Son stop...you know how Erin's father is, don't make him do this. He needs to do as his father says...you don't want to be the reason he is bruised and cut do you?"

 

Sneering Arish gritted his teeth. "As if I'd let that happen. I thought we were here to protect him." Steering his cold eyes back to his boyfriend. "Don't leave."

 

"We are here to protect him, that is why he should do as his father says."

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin didn't know what to do. On one hand his father would be angry, very angry if Erin disobeyed him, but Arish needed him. He bit his lip, and looked between Arish and Arik. Erin then panicked when he saw the pained look on his boyfriend's face. Erin felt a tear roll down his face, then another, and another. The brunette quickly wiped his eyes, he shouldn't be the one crying, he didn't just loose his sister. He felt as if he was being pulled in two directions.

 

He tried to get out of his boyfriends grip, he needed to leave. He was just making everything worse, it would just be better if they put this off until tomorrow, when everyone was settled down. Erin knew that him being there was over complcating everything, and, as an added fact, Erin's own father was going to beat him black and blue if he didn't get home soon. If it was any other situation Erin would have stayed no matter what, but he was just turning everything into a fight.

[Teesie]

The father and Arish both stared to the teen, and the black haired teen could feel the other pulling away from his grasp. Heart feeling a stab he let the other go before shaking his head and taking a step away from Erin it was pathetic true, but as said before he couldn't control his emotions. For his boyfriend to refuse his offer and to leave at a time like this was hurtful. The coal eyes gained emotion but only sadness, sadness that his boyfriend pulled away from him.

 

As one tear escaped, the half angel backed away to turn and run back into the hospital. The male teen knew that his sister had died, but he wanted to see her...see her before they put her away....into the mo- no he wouldn't think about that.

 

"Please go to your father Erin, I wouldn't want anything happening to you. Arish will be fine. We have him...you try to keep out of trouble."

[Guest cheshireArtist]

"P-please tell him I'm sorry," Erin asked, voice cracking slightly, "I didn't want to make things worse anymore." And with that Erin left for his house. Once he was far enough away Erin let his tears fall. He was the worse boyfriend, Arish would never forgive him. Once he reached the front door to his family's apartment he entered, trembling slightly, and wiping the tears from his eyes. His father shot him a look of disgust and he passed him out the door, and his mother fallowed, giving him a pitying look. Wordlessly, Erin sat down in the living room and watched his 7 and 11 year old brothers play.

 

Erin took out his cell phone and stared at Arish's number, wondering if he should call him or not.

[Teesie]

Arish looked away from the dead body of his sister and let tears fall. He would defiantly miss his sister, she was always there to help him and he respected that. The dark haired half angel sister was the only one that the teen could rely on for all his problems...there was even secrets that the teen never told his boyfriend, only because he didn't want to stress the other out.

 

Sighing softly the male walked into the hall and sat down on the bench waiting for nothing in particular. Arish wished that the demonic creature would have picked someone else other than his sister. That was selfish, but he couldn't help how he felt.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin gulped and pressed call. He had to at least apologize, and make sure Arish wasn't too mad at him. Erin just needed to get out of there. The brunette pressed the phone to his ear, and listened to the ringing.

 

One ring...two rings...three rings...

 

As it rang thoughts went through his head. What if he didn't pick up? What if Arish wanted to break up? What if Arish didn't want to talk to him again? These thoughts made Erin queasy, and tears start poring down his face again. He held back a sob as he waited for his dark haired boyfriend to pick up, or at least voice-mail to pick up.

[Teesie]

A ringing caught his the teen's attention and he fetched the phone from his pocket. Who was calling him at a time like this, he didn't really want to talk at the moment; albeit seeing the caller ID Arish heart ached. It was his boyfriend, Erin. Why is he calling me? Should I even answer....Erin means everything to me and I've always been there for him but the minute I need him, he dissed me for his father.... Tears apparent in his eyes the taller teen bit his lip as, after four rings, he clicked decline. It hurt him more than it hurt the other as he buried his face in his hands crying.

 

"Son...you shouldn't cry. You should be strong...a good hunter doesn't let death get to him. You have to get use to it, because there are many friends as well as family that will pass before you."

 

Arish glared to his father and shook his head. "Maybe your right, but I'm not as strong as you are. You've been living for decades...I haven't." Trails of dried liquid smeared on his cheeks. The man walked to his son and pat his shoulder before saying something he knew would upset the other more.

 

"You better get tougher soon...Erin...won't be alive all your life. His lifespan will run out. He will d-"

 

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" The dark haired angel yelled before averting his eyes. "Can I please...just be alone." Arik stayed silent before smiling softly and walking away.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin sighed, voice mail. He guessed Arish didn't want to talk to him, not that Erin really blamed him. The brunette swallowed his nervousness and decided to leave a message.

 

"Um...hey Arish...I..I was just calling to apologize. I'm sorry for leaving you like that, but me being around was just causing a fight and more stress on you. I didn't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry. I understand if you don't want to talk to me. I love you...bye," Erin said into the phone, trying not to cry, but some of his sobs getting through. Erin hung up and leaned back in his seat. The brunette closed his eyes and bit back a sob, now he knew what it felt like to be rejected he guessed.

[Teesie]

Sighing softly the black haired teen stretched and reached for his alarm clock which was ringing. Pressing on the button of it, it stopped. Arish lifted into an upright position to glance to his window. It has been two years without his sister and the half angel still wasn't too use to it. Standing from the bed the coal eyes scanned his clothes to look for an outfit so he could shower. After showering Arish had to go meet up with his boyfriend. It was actually a miracle how long they had been going out with one another. Friends to lovers....typical.

 

After dragging a towel across his skin for the last twenty minutes the dark haired teen was now sitting at the table for his breakfast that his mother promised every morning. The women was a good cook and he really enjoyed it to be honest, albeit sometimes he wished that he could just wake up to his boyfriend and have him cook for him. Arish mother was old fashioned though and whenever his boyfriend spent a night they weren't allowed in the same bed. That was funny at the least...in a way.

 

"Nice to see your looking better today...I'm guessing your on your way to see Erin right? A small smile on her face. The women was fond of the small brunette, she treated him as one of her own, especially now since her daughter has died. Erese was more protective of the boy.

 

"Yeah...I'm seeing him in a few." The black haired male answered simply.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

It's been a hard two years since Emily's death, but Arish and himself some how made it threw. Erin was closer to Arish and his family than ever, and Arish and Erin were even planning to but an apartment for themselves in the next couple of years. But now a wrench has been thrown into their plans, and Erin didn't know if Arish would be able to accept it; hell, Erin himself couldn't even accept it.

 

----Flash back----

 

His father was drunk, and Erin walked in at the wrong time. The man went to town on the brunette to say the least. Erin barely managed to get away and lock himself up in the bathroom, before the teen passed out. The next morning he woke up to the most horrifying sight of his life. He stared into the bathroom mirror only to see a monster staring back at him. Unnatural, solid green eyes, long fangs peaking over black lips, bird-like talons for fingers and toes, pointed, feather covered ears, and large, deep black wings were the sight that met him. He-he was a monster! He looked down, feathers covered his arms and legs instead of the thin amount of dark hair he had before, and a whip-like tail ending in an arrow-shaped point swished behind him.

 

Erin screamed bloody murder.

 

----End Flash Back----

 

That was two days ago, and he had been pretending to be sick to avoid Arish. Luckily, Erin took the past two days to learn how to hide his demonic form...for the most part at least. His eyes now had a cat-like pupil, but that was easy enough to ignore, or overlook. His ears now ended in a slight point, that he hid with his hair. Finally, there where his teeth, particularly his canines, which were now longer and more dangerous looking; he just would try not to talk too much.

 

Erin gulped, staring at his reflection, trying to make sure everything looked just right. As a final touch he slipped on sunglasses, it was rather bright out, thankfully, so he wouldn't get questioned too much. He took a deep breath and walked outsides to sit on his front steps. Erin was happy his parents were at work, he knew his fath- no, Max, not his father, he never knew his father, would jump at the opportunity to tell Arish that he was dating a monster before Erin, himself, could.

[Teesie]

After the dark haired, now legal, teen was done eating his breakfast he quickly stood to grab his coat and disappeared out of the front door. Hoping down the stairs the male landed on his feet in a perfect posture. Jumping from the height of the stairway wasn't much of a problem, for an angel anyways...well half angel. Pulling his coat tighter against his flesh Arish padded down the concrete sidewalk to Erin's house. The male hadn't seen his lover in about a week and the last two days he had been trying to catch up with the other it seemed that the human was sick. Now was the right time to check up on the other and make sure he was doing well, the coal eyed teen already informed the later he was coming over.

 

The wind was damp as small rain particles clung onto invisible atoms in the atmosphere. The male could now see why the other could be sick. Slowly steering his eyes around Arish watched his surrounding, checking for anything suspicious. Though at that thought his mind began to roam trying to wrap around the incidents that had happened lately.

 

--FLASHBACK--

 

A loud pound was delivered to the front door as a knock was heard. The family of three looked to it, they were in the middle of watching television while Arish's nephew, one he still didn't accept in the family, was running around the couch laughing innocently. As innocent as if he hasn't caused any problem...killer! Though moments later the door opened and two men rushed into the door.

 

"The kid...get the kid." One male yelled while knocking over portraits that were hanging on the walls. The man was reckless and acted as if he didn't see the harm he was causing. Once the picture of his sister hit the tiled floor and the glass shattered. Arish was furious and rushed to the man, albeit....it was futile. Pulling a gun at the rushing teen the man shot him easily, it being a tranquilizer. The black haired teen caught his arm and pulled out the dart before looking to the man dressed in armor.

 

"What the hell is going on here? Get your hands off of my nephew! Stop!" Even though his father was the world's best hunter he wasn't allowed to hit the men dressed in armor. Arik knew that these men were the higher power...that they belonged to the realm officials. "CAN I AT LEAST KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" Arish's father yelled.

 

"Your nephew is an abomination. A mixture of a demon and angel is not allowed in this world. There is no apparent realm for them and will not be accepted in society." The armored man informed. The other had a hold of the small kid as he cried reaching for his grandparents. It was apparent that the child was scared...and the bad thing was, that the coal eyed teen didn't even care, not that he could help anyways... the male was out and fast to sleep.

 

"No please...don't take him! Please! I beg of you." The women of the family, Erese, pleaded. It was futile...they left...with the child and disappeared. That was a hard time for his parents.

 

--FLASHBACK END--

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin glanced up as he heard someone approaching; his hearing had gotten a lot sharper, as had his other senses. Erin took a moment to calm his rapidly beating heart, before getting up and slowly walking towards his distracted boyfriend. Arish seemed distracted, and deep in thought. The half-demon frowned nervously, and pulled his coat closer to himself almost insecurely. What if he slipped up before he had the chance to explain? He didn't have that much control yet! Erin gathered all his courage, and put on a soft, closed lipped smile. It might take a little while, but Erin knew Arish loved him. It might take a while, but eventually Arish would accept him, right? He adjusted his sunglasses, just encase. He didn't want the secret to get out too early.

 

Erin also had done a lot of thinking in the past two days. Maybe this whole Half-Demon thing would be a good thing. He would live as long as Arish now. The thought made him smile a bit brighter. Yeah, every cloud has a silver lining, or so they say.

[Teesie]

The teen slowly steered his eyes to Erin as he heard footsteps. After the thoughts a sad like smiled graced his lips. "Hey babe~" The dark haired teen said lightly looking to the brunette. Chuckling the teen grabbed the smaller male around the waist before pulling him into a hug. Pulling away from Erin he smiled softly before holding his hand. "Are you cold? It is a little chilly out."

 

Laughing softly at his boyfriends outfit his lips perched waiting for a kiss. Once the other gave him what he wanted the dark haired teen pulled away deciding to tell the other about the incident that had happened four months ago. This was a secret that Arish had kept from the other for too long. "So I have something to tell you. I...had been keeping it in case of it being a sensitive topic. My...well...Emily's s- um...well that demon's son was taken from us. A half demon half angel child is apparently not welcomed in this world. I...don't know what to say about that. Maybe the higher powers will soon say that angel and demon shouldn't date one another....but I totally agree with that. What filthy demon could even love something so pure as an angel. It's disgusting."

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Behind his sunglasses Erin's eyes widened dramatically at his boyfriends words. Tears filled the brunette's eyes, Arish might as well had broken up with him right then and there. Holding back tears the shorter reminded himself that Arish loved him, and if someone loves someone then what they are or who they are shouldn't matter, right? Arish will surely change his mind. Erin didn't want to say something, at risk of giving away his...predicament.

 

Erin turned his head away from his lover to look at nothing in particular, body a little tense, and said, "You're right, it is a little chilly out. My parents aren't home, we can talk about this more inside." Erin gripped his boyfriend's hand tighter, afraid that if he let go now Arish would out right leave him.
