**Damien POV**

By the time I had finally skinned the deer and started cooking it over a fire for Theo's and my dinner, several hours had passed , between that and setting about a dozen traps. I figured I better check on Theo, who was still at the lake. I let the fireplace continue while I made my way to the lake. I heard Theo singing from a distance. I admired his positive outlook on things, and at times, I wished I had his level of innocence, with so much hope in his eyes for the future, no matter how bad things were. I knew Theo had his demons from his past and family, but I thought he coped rather well with things. Theo, when he wasn't singing to be goofy or funny, actually had a beautiful voice, one that sent chills down my spine as I listened to him sing "Someone Like You" by Adele. I approached the lake, but Theo didn't notice me. I observed him as he sang, glancing over to see he had taken his clothes off and left them on the sandy part of the beach. I watched Theo wash himself as he sang away, his torso only showing.

I broke the silence, "Mind if I join you?" Theo was startled and jumped a little.

Theo nods, and I begin to undress on the shore. Theo watches me from the water as I start to take off my shorts, a smile spreading across his face as he begins to blush. I step into the lake and begin to swim over to him. I pick Theo up, and he holds onto me while laughing at my struggle to stay afloat.

"I didn't mean to startle you earlier. I want you to know I'll always be by your side to protect you," I assure him.

"I know," Theo whispers.

Theo leans his head on my chest. I pull him closer, and as I move to kiss him, he responds with intense passion. I begin to feel Theo's boner pressing against my stomach as I hold him.

"I can't let you walk back to the cabin with that thing not being taken care of," I say, reaching down to stroke his cock.

Theo lets out a moan, and the sound of his pleasure turns me on.

"Let's go," I say, pulling Theo to shore.

I see his shirt laid out on the sand, so I push him down onto it. Getting down on my knees, I spread Theo's legs open. Theo must have been feeling self-conscious; he covered his dick with his hand.

"Don't," I say assertively, moving his hand away.

I grip his dick from the bottom and position my face between his legs before I start sucking his cock. I lick his dick right between where his balls and shaft meet the taste of his dick turning me on so much, eliciting moans of pleasure from Theo. Moving my head up and down, he grips my head as moans echo through the forest. The feeling of the well defined tip of his cock and his veins in my mouth combined with his moans gave made me so horny. Theo begins to moan louder and thrusts up into my mouth. He must be close, I think. Soon, he starts to squirm and moan as warm. He begins to quiver and his body jolts I take his dick out of my mouth and watch as he shoots cum all over the both of us.

Theo begins to moans. He begins to try and gain control of his breathing.

"Good boy you came so much."

As Theo still catches his breath I break the air by saying, "We should go back and check on the dinner. Afterwards we could cuddle and watch something yea?"

"Yeah, I'd like that," Theo says.

I help him up by grabbing his hand, watching as he puts his shorts on. Theo leaves the sweater at the lake since it's covered in cum. I notice him shaking from the cold without a sweater.

"Stop and come here," I say.

I pick him up and hold him his legs wrapped around my waist and his cold and wet body against my chest as we walk back.

**Theo's POV**

Could anyone really admire me as much as Damien was. The way he looked at me like made me feel like I'm melting. He could touch me whenever and I would just submit to his will at any given moment. I hated hiding things from Damien and I wondered if I should tell him I hid the book of blood magic and should just return it. I couldn't give up the power that book holds though not yet not until I make things right.

Once we make our way back to the cabin where the smell of cooked dear from the campfire fills the air. Damien sets me down after carrying me nearly the whole way from the lake to the cabin. I hated how fragile he thought I was he notices everything and sacrifices his own comfort for mine. He holds my hand as he pulls me into the cabin.

He grabs a new shirt and Damien says, "Arms up."

He places the shirt on me and gives me a soft kiss then says, "Stay here and get warm I'm going to go get the food ready."

I nod as he hands me a blanket. Making my way over to the couch, I fiddle with the hologram TV for a bit. It's an older model that I'm unfamiliar with, but after some trial and error, I figure out how to turn it on. I put on my favorite show, "Sabrina," on Netflix.

After about 30 minutes, Damien comes into the house with slices of deer on forks and places them on plates. He smiles when he sees me and hands me the plate, then takes a seat next to me, quickly fixated on the show.

"I'm impressed with the real-world accuracy this show had for its time," Damien states.

"Yeah, they got a few things right. Though they don't show the part where a demon shows his gay lover side," I tease.

Damien rolls his eyes at me.

"I begin to struggle to eat the deer without a knife.

"Damien, can I get a knife to cut this?"

Damien gets up and heads to the kitchen. Swiftly, he returns, grabbing the plate from my hands and cutting the deer into slices for me.

"Here you go love," Damien says handing over the plate.

We continue to eat whilst finishing an episode of Sabrina.

"I'm gunna clean up the kitchen and stuff for a bit if you don't mind," Damien says.

"Okay I'm going to go outside for some fresh air and to read a bit for just a minute," I reply.

"Don't go to far okay."

I nod, making my way out the front door and down the porch steps. I head over to the lake where I hid the book of blood magic. It's nestled in a hollowed-out log that had fallen over. I pull it out and, under the moonlight, begin to read it. I had swiped the steak knife Damien had used earlier and placed it down in front of me. I sit down and begin the ritual.

I cut my hand and walk over to the lake, dripping blood into the water from the cut on my hand. My eyes begin to glow a bright red, illuminating the area around me. A dark power rushes over me.

I begin to chant the words three times.

"Oh lieber sunder von vater, moge es dem universum besser gehen wenn dein blut diesen see fullt."

Meaning: "Oh dear father, may the universe be better off with your blood filling this lake."

Suddenly I begin to feel sick I begin to feel light I begin to float and float over the lake. I feel awake like I'm in my thoughts but I can't do anything.

**Damien POV**

Theo left a while ago, and now that I think about it, he didn't take a book with him when he said he was going out to read. What could he possibly be doing at this hour outside? The worry of something bad happening to him begins to rush over me.

I decide to drop the task of doing the dishes and check to see where he is. I make my way outside, surprised not to see him in my line of sight. I decide to use my ability to track him. Closing my eyes, I focus and open them again, catching onto his emotions. They feel different, dark and guilty at the same time. They seem to be directing me in the direction of the lake. I begin to run towards the lake. As I arrive, I see Theo floating above the lake mid-air, his eyes glowing red. He's done something dark.

"Theo!" I scream, trying to snap him out of it.

I begin to use my abilities to pull him in my direction. The tension is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, refusing to let go of Theo. Then suddenly, it breaks, and Theo is sent falling into the lake unconscious. I run, jumping into the lake, gripping onto Theo and dragging him to shore. He's alive and breathing, but simply won't wake up. I begin to slap him to get him awake.

He begins to regain consciousness.

"Theo, I'm glad you're okay, but what the hell were you thinking?" I say.

He was still too weak to talk, barely able to stay awake with his eyes fluttering from open to closed. I pick him up and grab the book of blood magic, then tread back to the cabin. I lay Theo down, take his wet clothes off, and cover him with a blanket. Taking the book of blood magic, I head towards the fireplace and throw it in, watching as the book gets reduced to ash. I should have known the book would call to him; it has a pull that newer beings or entities often can't resist. It should have been destroyed a long time ago.

Authors Note:
