Devyn and Miren had gone down to the lobby to wait for the return of Denzyl. The sky was now dark, and the building was vacant as most employees had already left for home. Astrid had left an hour before, so Devyn was not worried that word of the angel and star would reach Wil. The humans were sitting in two of the chairs positioned in the lounge area that had an excellent view of the entrance to the lobby.

Physician Byeong-Ho was on his way to the skyreacher to provide medical assistance should Kilo or Castyr require it. Devyn had immediately called the doctor when Denzyl contacted him saying he had found the angel and star.

"Oh! Oh, that's them!" Miren said as she pointed toward the entrance of the lobby.

Devyn immediately stood to his feet and walked to the entryway to see Denzyl leading an exhausted Kilo into the tower. The brown-haired human's eyes widened as he saw the black-haired angel walking behind the demon. Kilo had grown to be three-four inches taller than Devyn, and the star in his arms was no longer the size of a child but rather a man. Castyr had grown in both size and stature. If Devyn had to guess, Castyr was now around his height.

Devyn's eyes trailed to Kilo's face where he saw exhaustion and years of hardship. What happened to you two those fifty years? It's like you are two different people. The small, innocent Castyr is now a man covered in blood, and the quiet Kilo is now silent.

"Kilo!" Miren called as the two humans Denzyl. Kilo turned to see the redhead rushing toward him and bowed in greeting. "Castyr?! What-what happened? Is he alright?" Miren asked frantically as she saw the unconscious star in the angel's arms.

"Follow me," Devyn said calmly as he saw the healing wounds on the angel before turning and walking to the elevators. Denzyl stuck to Devyn's side as the human led the group to the top floor. "My personal physician is on his way. You will be in room 8002." Devyn remained as calm as possible as he knew the last thing Kilo needed was someone freaking out over the numerous wounds covering his and the star's bodies.

Denzyl opened the door for the angel as the group reached room 8002. Devyn watched as Kilo entered the room and gently set Castyr on the bed before closing the door and giving the two privacy. The demon and two humans then went to the living area in Devyn's penthouse. The three were silent as they left the hallway and spread out in the wide room.

Devyn sunk into the couch and let out a breath before unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt and rolling his sleeves. The human then poured himself a glass of whiskey and began sipping on the drink as Denzyl peered out the window. Miren received a call and dismissed herself to go and tend to her duties. Devyn laid his head back and closed his eyes as he rested on the couch while the demon observed the city to make sure no one had followed Kilo and him to the skyreacher.

The clacking of heels accompanied the entrance of Miren roughly ten minutes later. The woman entered the living area followed by a pink-haired man with a small face.

"Dr. Byeong-Ho, thank you for coming," Devyn greeted as he stood to his feet and approached the physician.

"Of course. Ms. Miren informed me that the identities of my patients were confidential and that they would be staying in your residence for the time being," Byeong-Ho stated after greeting the CEO with a bow.

"That is correct. Their names are Kilo and Castyr. I am afraid that is all I can tell you. If you would follow me, I will bring you to them," Devyn motioned toward the hall leading to the private rooms of the penthouse. Byeong-Ho inclined his head respectfully before following the CEO down the hallway.

Devyn knocked on the door of room 8002 and waited a few seconds before opening the door. After looking to make sure the angel and star were not indisposed, Devyn motioned for the doctor to enter. Devyn followed the pink-haired physician into the room to see Castyr wrapped in Kilo's arms. A light glow covered the angel and his star but stopped once Kilo opened his eyes and looked to see the physician approaching the bed.

"Hello. I am Dr. Byeong-Ho. Nice to meet you," the doctor stopped roughly eight feet from the bed and bowed in greeting.

Kilo sat up in the bed and nodded in greeting. The angel pulled the blanket up to the star's chin in an instinct to protect his lover.

"Is this Castyr?" Byeong-Ho gestured to the sleeping star beside the angel, who nodded in confirmation. "What seems to be the problem?" The physician inquired as he could only see the patient's face and could not make an accurate assessment.

"He was shot in the head by a stun ray," Kilo answered. The angel's voice was deep and soothing. It was the first time Devyn had heard Kilo speak in fifty years.

The doctor's brows furrowed in concentration as he slowly approached the bed and sat on the edge next to Castyr. Byeong-Ho then reached into his medical bag to pull out three circular devices. He placed two of them behind his ears before setting the third over the star's heart after cautiously lowering the blanket under the angel's watchful gaze. The doctor then closed his eyes and listened to Castyr's heartbeat.

A soft knock sounded on the door, drawing the angel's attention to the room's entrance. Kilo slid off the bed and walked over to the door when he saw Devyn standing at the entrance.

"Why don't you wash up?" Devyn suggested as he handed the angel a pair of folded clothes that had just been brought by Miren.

Kilo looked back to see the doctor tentatively checking on Castyr.

"Don't worry, Byeong-Ho will take good care of him," Devyn reassured the angel. "You need to rest, too, Kilo."

After an assuring look from Devyn, the angel finally nodded in agreement and went to shower as the doctor treated Castyr.

Devyn shut the door to room 8002 behind him as he left Byeong-Ho to treat the unconscious star and made sure Kilo was taking care of himself. Devyn recalled how the angel would forgo his own health to ensure Castyr was well taken care of. The human let out a breath and ran his fingers through his hair as he walked down the hallway and made his way to the living area where he saw Denzyl waiting for him.

"How are they?" The demon inquired as Devyn reached him.

"Better, I hope." Devyn shook his head slightly as he thought about the state Kilo was in when he walked into the building. The angel's wounds seemed to be healing just fine due to his advanced healing capabilities, but Devyn could tell Kilo had been through hell during the fifty years. Kilo carried it in his eyes. "They must've gone through so much," Devyn said under his breath.

A thumb under the human's chin brought Devyn's gaze up to match Denzyl's. "They'll pull through. Look at us. We made it through hell and back. They seem like strong kids. I'm sure they will be alright," Denzyl said softly as he assured the human.

Devyn closed his eyes and nodded. "You're right. Kilo and Castyr are strong. They'll be alright. Who knows what they went through to find each other."

<<<<<<<>>>>>>>

Castyr woke to the comforting pressure of an arm wrapped around his waist. Opening his eyes, the star looked to see an arm stretched out from under his head. Castyr let out a breath and turned to his other side to see Kilo sleeping in front of him. The angel began to automatically adjust his hold to the star's movements only to snap his eyes open when he realized Castyr was awake. A smile formed on the star's lips as he gazed at his angel.

"How do you feel?" Kilo asked as he woke up.

"Good. Where are we?" Castyr replied before inquiring on their location. The last thing he remembered was fighting in an alley.

"In Devyn's tower."

Castyr's eyes widened at the name of the human who saved him years ago. "Devyn? He's okay?"

Kilo nodded, and the star sighed in relief, recalling watching Devyn get dragged away by the dendrum. Castyr shook his head to get rid of the haunting memory before saying, "I'm going to go shower." Castyr planted a kiss on Kilo's forehead and threw back the covers, showing he was feeling much better. But before the star could slide out of the bed, strong arms wrapped around his waist and pulled the star back into the bed. Castyr let out a giggle as Kilo brought the star flush against his chest. "Kilo, I wanna shower. I feel yucky!" Castyr whined cutely as Kilo hugged him.

The angel buried his nose in his star's neck and inhaled deeply in response to Castyr's whining. "You smell so good, though. I want to keep you here in my arms."

Kilo's lips on Castyr's skin sent tingles down the star's spine as the angel started kissing his neck. Castyr's smile widened as he quickly thought of a solution. "I can still be in your arms in the shower," the star said with a smirk.

Kilo did not waste a second in tossing the blankets and scooping the star up in his arms. Castyr threw back his head and laughed as he was gallantly carried to the bathroom in the arms of his angel.
