[Atemluver]

Lazaro pulled the knife out immediately, as his tears streamed down his face. He didn't mean to do this...he didn't do it! It was that evil elf! He catches Caddell as his small body looses strength. "Caddell! S-stay with me o-okay! Y-you're going to be f-fine!" He says in a panic as he lays Caddell down. He rips off his own shirt and places it over the wound, applying pressure to it to try and stop the bleeding. The whole time the tears never stopped, as his vision grew blurry from his tears, he kept desperately trying to stop the blood, but there was so much of it!

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

The young spirit glanced up a the man, his body shaking as more blood spilled from his mouth, his flesh visibly paling. His dark crimson eyes stared at Lazaro, though he didn't say anything as he tried to stop the bleeding. His head cocked the other direction as the other was crying... why was he crying? He was the one who did this, he had no right to cry. He nearly choked on his own blood as he felt more of it come up his throat. Spitting it out on the side, he quietly asked, "Why...don't you just slit my throat, you pig? Or do you like watching me suffer...?" He spat out a few more droplet, coughing harshly before he asked, "Why are you doing this...why can't I just die..." His own eyes filled with tears as he started to cry... this was horrible. Why couldn't he show a bit of remorse and at least end it all here? No, instead, he had to bleed and suffer...Trembling the slightest bit, he murmured, "If you truly wanted to save me... you'd use the magic made by humans... but no...you're sitting here and watching me b-bleed out... do you get off on this type of stuff? Do you think...this is funny?" He coughed again, a few flecks of blood coming out as his breathing started to become visibly and audibly raspy.

[Atemluver]

"N-NO!" Lazaro screamed after listening to Caddells words. "N-no! I didn't want this! I didn't do this consciously! How could I kill the person I love!" Tears stream down his face as he speaks. He bends down and hugs Caddell tightly. "I love you Caddell." His tears fall on Caddells shoulder. "I love you, I wanted to save you...I wanted to make you happy. But an evil elf used her black magic on me to make me kill you. I tried to fight it, b-but I wasn't strong enough. I'm so sorry Caddell, i-it's all my fault." Lazaro sobs as he holds the guardian tightly in his arms. "I love you," he says once more, as he wishes with his entire being for a miracle.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

"Why do you love me...?" murmured Caddell, confused. Why did this man love him? He wasn't cute, he wasn't pretty, he was just an ugly guardian of the forest who killed people through fear. This man only knew him for a few hours... yet he started to preach how much he loved him...His eyes glanced at the other quietly as he was lifted up closer to the other, he felt a bit more blood slide out of his body before he realized... the bleeding...stop. Coughing one last time, he asked quietly, "Bandages...do you have any bandages?" His eyes were a rather faint color, blood starting to crust on his chin, his body still shaking, "T-the bleeding stopped...help...please..."

[Atemluver]

Lazaro worked quickly, pulling the bandages out from his bag and wrapping Caddells wound as quickly as he could. He then pulls out his spell book, and quickly flips to the page of healing spells. Although he wasn't too good at them, he knew now wasn't a time for failure. He ripped a small scrap of paper out of his book and wrote the incantation on it before placing it on Caddells wound. He chanted the sacred spell and a soft green light appeared over Caddells wound, as Lazaro prayed that his spell worked.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell was trying to keep his calm, his eyes still wide and scared as the other started to caste a spell on the wound... he breathed in heavily as the soft glow made his body feel slightly better... the spell might not have healed the whole wound itself, though it stopped the internal bleeding. He'd just have to wait for the cut to heal on his stomach. Blood crusted on his face, eyes dreary from the wound.. it nearly drained all of his energy, he nearly died. His eyes seemed paler than usual. He didn't really say anything at first, though he glared up at the other, his mouth parting the slightest bit as if he were going to say something, his teeth stained a vermillion color, trying to form words, but couldn't... he couldn't think of the right thing to say in this situation.

[Atemluver]

He breathed a sign of relief when he noticed that the spell worked. He grabbed a water bottle out of his bag and wet a piece of his shirt that wasn't stained in blood and cleaned off the blood from Caddells face. Lazaro then laid out his sleeping bag, and gently put Caddell into it. He then gently propped Caddells head up and brought the water bottle to his lips, and had Caddell drink it's contents. "The water will help. Everything will be okay." He says softly as his hand gently strokes Caddells face. "No need to talk, it'll be fine. I will protect you."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell glared up at the man as the water bottle was propped near his lips. He didn't really want to trust what the man said, though quietly nodded, and started to sip the contents before swallowing it. It tasted awful... like a mixture of minerals and his own blood going down his throat. Glancing up at the other quietly, he nodded, gently rubbing his face into the other's hand when he brought it near his face... his hand felt nice... He looked up into the other's eyes quietly, not saying anything, though he looked a bit scared, and a bit sad, and also hurt... but he was confused as well. He didn't know how to feel about the situation...

[Atemluver]

Lazaro holds Caddells hand, rubbing soothing circles into it. "Shh don't think. Get some rest it'll be better when you wake up." his other hand still gently stroking Caddells cheek. He felt horrible, that he did something to harm Caddell, even though it wan't by his own will it was still by his own body. All he wanted to do now was to take care of Caddell, and more importantly, to try and rid him of his curse.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

He shook his head towards the man, obviously not wanting to go to sleep...especially with just him around... he didn't want to go o sleep knowing that the might try to kill him when he was even more vulnerable, "D-don't hurt me..." His voice was shaky as his fingers scrambled against the ground, his eyes widening the slightest bit as he felt tears prick his eyes again as he murmured, "I-I don't want to die..."

[Atemluver]

Feeling his own tears start to well up in his eyes, he grasps Caddells hand tighter. "Shh, I'm never going to hurt you again, I promise. I will protect you with my life." He hugs Caddell tightly, "I promise you're going to live. You're going to live, and I'm going to break your curse....so please...get some sleep sweetie." He leans down and kisses Caddell gently on the lips. "You're safe."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

The small druid shook violently as the other hugged him, his breathing growing a bit frantic as he gazed up at the man, not knowing if he should trust him or not... though, when he felt the other's lips on his... he started to calm down a little. He found the action soothing and comforting... which was why he kept asking for the action over and over again earlier...it was like a medicine... it helped ease his sorrows. Shakily, he raised a hand as he touched the other's lip with a trembling finger, he tapped it and asked quietly, "A-again? Please?" He didn't know what these were called, but he had seen people do it... and it was delightful...

[Atemluver]

He smiled softly as Caddell asked for another kiss. "You sure are a kissing monster aren't you," he said with a slight chuckle. It was impossible for him to resist him and he leaned down and pressed his lips against Caddells once more, giving him what he asked for. After a while he removed his lips and instead brought them up to Caddells forehead and kissed him once more. "If you get some sleep I'll give you all the kisses you could ever possibly want when you wake up." He brought one of Caddells hands to his lips and gave it a soft kiss.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

He blushed softly at what the other said as he came back down and kissed him again... that one felt nice... he felt a lot calmer now than he did before, to be truthful. Nuzzling a bit closer to the other as he pressed another kiss down on his forehead, he shakily nodded to what the other had to say and gave him a small "okay" with his head, dipping it the slightest bit, too weary to bring it further for a full nod. "I hope that's a promise..." He murmured quietly before his crimson eyes closed tiredly, wanting to fall into a slumber

[Atemluver]

Grasping Caddells hand gently, he smiled as he noticed the teen start to drift off into sleep. "It's a promise." He says in a quiet, almost whisper like voice. Lazaro gives the spirit another soft kiss on his forehead, "now sleep."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell nodded softly towards the other, rubbing one of his eyes with a small sigh as he slowly drifted into a slumber, his dark crimson eyes slowly shutting, revealing eye-lids that had a soft, reddish tint to them. His body went limp in the other's arms as his lips slightly parted, rather tired. He looked... cute when he slept. He didn't seem like a demon, nor a witch of any sort... just a small, scared little boy.

[Atemluver]

Lazaro smiled sadly to himself. Caddell really was quite cute and harmless. The one thing he didn't understand was why would that lady want him dead? Plus she mentioned that she was one of his creators? Maybe she was the key into breaking Caddells curse....if he killed her.... Lazaro shook his head, no he won't hurt anyone else, surely he can save him without violence... He gently pets Caddells hair. "Sweet dreams...Caddell."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell pressed a bit deeper into the other's warmth, nuzzled his head in his lap with a small sigh, eyes closed lightly. His lips twitched the slightest bit in his sleep, both still slightly parted. One of his hands rested by his side, the other resting tiredly on his chest. His ears wiggled the slightest bit as he said goodnight, noticing the fact that the other said something, though not quite sure what it was. "Lazaro..." He murmured this softly in his sleep as his head cocked the slightest bit, a deep breath coming out from his mouth.

[Atemluver]

The forest grew dark as the hours passed, soon the moon rose and the sound of the night owls cooing filled the crisp, cold air. Lazaro found the forest at night extremely enchanting, and surprisingly beautiful. But one thing that stood out from the forest at night, was how extremely cool it was. It was nearing the end of summer and the nights could become quite chilly. Lazaro looked down at Caddell worried that he might be cold. He had already given him all of the blankets and his own coat so he should be fine.. Lazaro sneezed, and then rubbed his nose. "Shit, it's so cold out...and I can't make a fire..at this rate I'll get a cold. I can't have that happen..I need to keep Caddell safe..."

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell groaned softly as he heard the other talking to himself. That was kind of strange... though Caddell didn't say anything about it as he glanced at the other, quietly saying, "Idiot... get over here..." The tiny spirit lifted the blankets so that the other could crawl in with him easily, "Thanks for waking me up..." He huffed sarcastically before offering him a small smile, "Hm... I think you owe me...some kisses." It came out innocently, obviously amused by this thought, but was also a bit needy... he wanted those kisses. They were soft, welcoming, and warm... Lazaro's mouth was like an enchanted forest...nothing but good coming from it. "P-please?"

[Atemluver]

Surprised that Caddell was awake, it caught him off guard when the teen invited him under the covers with him. "S-sure," he stuttered, half because he was freezing, and half out of sheer shock that the spirit would let him be closer to him. He climbed in with Caddell, and pulled the teen in for a soft hug. "Sorry I woke you..." he trailed off before hearing the teens request for more kisses. A small smile appeared on his face and he kissed Caddells forehead. "I promised you remember. Of course you get more kisses." He gently tilted Caddells chin up before lightly kissing him on the lips. The kiss then became more passionate as Lazaro slipped his tongue inside of Caddells mouth, sucking on the teen tongue playfully.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell's stomach was moist again... that was simply because he bled a bit more. He stopped bleeding for now, given it was crusted over, though sometime in his sleep the wound must have opened a little. Once the other pressed his cold body up against his warm body, the spirit shivered the slightest bit as the other pulled him in for a hug. Though, when the other kissed his forehead, a smile on the young spirit's lips was visible.. he was obviously delighted for what was to come. As the other pressed those nice, firm, yet plump lips against his own, Caddell let out a soft, desperate moan as he kissed the other in return, and grunted faintly as the other sucked on his tongue... it felt delicious... and it sure as hell tasted delicious. Wrapping his arms around the other's neck, he tried to pull him closer, tried to get more out of the kiss.

[Atemluver]

Seeing how Caddell was responding to the kiss, he wrapped his arms around the spirits waist, pulling him even closer. He continued to suck on the others lips, as wet sounds began to enact from the kiss that they shared. Lazaro used his tongue to explore the teens mouth once again, rubbing his tongue against the roof of Caddells mouth, and along with Caddells own tongue. He enjoyed seeing Caddell this happy to share intimate kisses, and it made him want to love the teen even more. But Lazaro was aware of his situation, the teen was wounded and didn't like anything intimate besides kisses. Well maybe the last one could change with time, but now is not the time. As they say, slow and steady wins the race.

[{｡^◕‿◕^｡}Ciel]

Caddell let out a rather faint noise as the other explored his mouth with the warm, sweet appendage. He could get used to this easily... Opening his mouth the slightest bit wider to give the other more access, he breathed in heavily through his nose, one of his hands burying itself into the strands of ginger hair, trying to edge the ginger the slightest bit closer as their mouths made love. Carefully, the young druid wrapped a leg around the other's waist, pulling him a bit closer. He did this to get warmer... not for the other reasons why people usually hooked their legs around the waist of another.

[Atemluver]

A faint blush quickly spread across Lazaros face as Caddell wrapped his legs around his waist. Lazaro knew that the teen meant nothing by it, nor was he going to do anything that may harm or scare the teen but still...what if Caddell realized that he was hard? He knew he wasn't going to touch the teen in that way, but would the teen know that? Would he get disgusted and turn him away again? Lazaro quickly pushed these thoughts from his find and returned his complete focus to Caddells mouth, rubbing their tongues together, and lightly sucking on the others slim lips.
