Chapter 102: Look My Way

One morning in the Goetia Palace...

Blitz and Stolas are both sleeping in the bed together. Stolas has his arms wrapped around the sleeping Blitz in his sleep and nuzzles his face against the Imp's forehead. Soon, the alarm rings, causing Stolas to slowly wake up from his sleep. He soon looks down to see Blitz sleeping in his arms. Stolas lets out a few hoots with a smile and gently gives Blitz a kiss on the forehead. Soon, Blitz begins to wake up from his own slumber, he stirs a bit before opening his eyes.

Stolas smiles and says, "Good morning, Blitzy."

Blitz lets out a small yawn and says, "Go-good morning, Stolas."

The two lovers let go of each other's embrace as they sat up. Stolas yawns as Blitz stretches his arms.

"So Stolas, what are you doing today?" Blitz asks.

Stolas yawns again, "I have a few tasks I needed to do, so I'll be in my study today. Octavia is actually spending the weekend at her mother's place."

"I see. I have to go to work, so Mimmy will be going with me," Blitz says.

"Looks like we're both going to be busy today," Stolas says.

"It seems so," Blitz says and climbs out of bed, "I better get ready. Barbie will be driving us there today."

"Of course," Stolas says.

Blitz then gets up out of bed and heads to the closet to get his clothes on. Stolas watches as Blitz leaves to the next room, and can't help but smile.

Sometime later...

Blitz arrives at the office with Mimmy and Barbie walking beside him.

"Morning guys," Blitz says.

"Morning everyone," Barbie says.

"Morning Blitz. You too, Barbie," Millie says.

Then kneels to Mimmy, "Hi Mimmy."

"Hi Millie," Mimmy happily says.

"How are you all doing?" Moxxie asks.

"We're doing fine," Blitz says.

Soon, Velma, Drew, and Berry walk in together.

"Morning everyone," Velma says.

"Morning guys," Randall says, who is sitting on the couch.

Razor and Berry walk over and Razor gives Berry a kiss on the cheek. Berry does the same to Razor. Mimmy and Millie giggle to see Razor and Berry acting lovey dovey.

Sarge soon walks in to find everyone here today, "Good morning everyone. Glad to see you all are here."

"Morning Sarge," Barbie says.

"Morning boss," Velma says.

Sarge nods, "Glad to see everyone is here. Alright, today is a bit of a slow day, but it wouldn't hurt to stay on top of it."

"That's true, sir," Moxxie says.

"So what do we have to kill today?" Randall asks.

Velma then brings out a clipboard with some paper on it.

She reads, "Well, we have quite a few killings, but nothing too much. He has to kill the client's boyfriend who cheated on her and his deformation. We need to kill the president of a loan company. We also need to kill a woman who's been committing fraud. A doctor who has been secretly performing illegal trafficking of human parts."

"Sounds like our usual problems," Sarge says.

"Yes, and everything else involves small reasons like cheating, scamming, and such," Velma adds.

"In other words, most of them are no fun," Randall says, annoyed. "Maybe the doctor can be a mad scientist that is using the body parts for some crazy zombie experiment or something."

"That sounds crazy," Drew says.

"At least we get some excitement from it," Randall says.

"As long as we got work, we can't complain too much," Moxxie says.

"True," Randall says, shrugging his shoulders.

"Alright everyone, let's get to work," Sarge says.

And with that, everyone begins to work on what they can do in the office while Blitz helps with location and information on the target. At least ones who are well known. Mimmy settles down so she can draw and play.

Time has gone by, and in Stolas' royal study...

The Goetia Prince is writing on his desk. Just then, the double doors open to reveal his butler coming in with two different gift bags. One of them is purple with burgundy paper wrap inside, covering a box, and it has a dark magenta ribbon on it. The second bag is smaller. It's navy blue with light blue and light pink hearts on it, and is covered by red black, and white paper wrap. He then places them both on the table and bow before leaving the room. Stolas stops what he's doing and takes out the box from the larger bag. The box has Asmodeus's symbol on it.

He opens the box to reveal a yellow amber color diamond shaped crystal. This crystal is the Asmodean Crystal for Sarge to use for his company. That way they can get to Earth more legally and not have to rely on the grimoire anymore.

He then closes the box, places it down, and reaches for the smaller bag. He then takes out a small velvet box, which makes him smile and blush a bit. He opens the box to reveal a silver band ring with a red diamond Asmodean Crystal in the center. He softly smiles and blushes as he stares at the ring. The ring is for a special someone for a very special occasion.

Stolas smiles and says, "Oh Blitzy, I love you so much. I want to show you just how much I love you."

He then looks out the window, "I can still remember the start of our relationship. Of course, we're still starting out because of how different our worlds are..."

Flashback:

During their beginning of their relationship, Blitz and Stolas do have a bit of a rocky start. Mainly involves what happened after the fiasco at Ozzie's. Even though Blitz agrees to live with Stolas, he has felt a bit uneasy about what happened at the nightclub. While he's in the bath, Stolas calls Blitz who he's at work with right now with the others.

Stolas says to Blitz through the phone. "I thought we could perhaps spend tomorrow afternoon together! My treat, it'll be fun!"

"That sounds very nice. So uh, what's the occasion?" Blitz replies.

"Well... Yes, I thought that um, I just wanted to spend some more time with you, that's all..." Stolas says, and blushes a bit, "I mean, it's not long since you've moved in with me and Via, but I thought we could have a little fun together.

Blitz blushes with a smile, "Um, yeah sure..." and sighs, "I would like that. Truth is, I guess I've been feeling a bit down lately."

"I can tell to be honest. That's kind of why. You look like you can use some cheering up," Stolas says.

Blitz smiles and says, "Yeah. I would like that. I'll see you when I get home."

"Of course, ta ya for now," Stolas says and hangs up the phone.

Once he's finished the call, Stolas sighs and sits in the bath, "I do hope nothing's troubling him but... Oh my little... why must you be so... difficult as of late?" He then lies on the end of the tub as he is deep in thought, "I don't understand, I mean I've provided you with everything you've ever wanted, haven't I? We've done so much with each other already and yet you continue to seem... off... since what happened at the club and you started living with me."

Stolas then begins to think, "What else could there be? Are all commoners like this? Or perhaps related to his human lifestyle," He then says to himself, "And now I'm talking to myself..."

Stolas lets out a sigh and says, "I need some space to think... Oh, Blitzy..."

After his bath, Stolas dries himself and gets dressed in his royal attire. He then walks into his royal study and does some of his work to keep his mind off of Blitz's distress. However, he can't keep his mind off of it. And soon, Stolas begins to sing.

Stolas:

It is expected, an oath by blood to hold the tome

Stolas then closes the book he's writing in and leaves his seat.

Stolas:

And the starlight passes overhead

Fuels all the skills I've honed

He then walks up the staircase to the upper floors.

Stolas:

I am a guardian, a watcher of these ancient rites

Soon, the owl prince walks into a cosmic world surrounded by planets, including the sun and moon.

Stolas:

Yet I find myself drawn from that path

On those dazzling moonlit nights

Stolas then takes hold of the moon, and holds it close to him.

Stolas:

Let me hold you, keep you close to me

I long to hear your voice

But, dearest, I know better now

I must give you this choice

And then let the moon go and allow it to circle around him.

Stolas:

I can give you everything you need

Or do you want to hear me plead?

Just look my way

Just look my way

And the moon slowly floats away. And soon, Stolas begins to follow him.

Stolas:

Is there something more that I don't know

That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?

Just say, 'Please, stay. Look my way'

The prince watches as the moon rises into the sky, and seems to be out of his reach.

Stolas soon begins walking along the cosmos.

Stolas:

This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain

If that's all this was when you're not here

What is this rooted pain?

I don't care that you're of lower station

Soon, an outline of Blitz is formed by stars, besides Stolas.

Stolas:

Or primed to sate my dark temptations

It then moves around Stolas, cupping his cheek. Stolas places his hand in his before he's dragged away from him.

Stolas:

Why can't you understand? Let me explain!

And then fall to his knees on the water, holding himself in despair.

Stolas:

And I'm terrified, as I cry

To make these feelings true

What's left for me and my broken heart

If I cannot have you?

Soon, a tear falls down his face and splashes into the water.

Stolas:

Unless it's me

And no matter what in this world I could give

And suddenly, shooting stars shoot across the sky as Stolas becomes a blue constellation and notices a blue string tied around his finger.

Stolas:

It's not enough

To get through the walls you've conjured up to live

Stolas follows the string to see the moon as it turns to reveal the string leading to a constellation of Blitz in a dark bubble and struggles to break as there is a blue string tied around his own finger, and looks like he's in pain and fear.

Stolas then approaches the moon with Blitz trapped inside.

Stolas:

Is this what you feel?

Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend

What you are

He then places his hand on the surface of the moon where Blitz is. Some warm essence catches Blitz's attention and he places his hand on it.

Stolas:

So, I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls needs to end

Stolas saddens as he begins to push himself away from the moon and the moon moves away from Stolas. Despite the string being torn in half, it refuses to break.

Now back to his original self, Stolas watches the moon floating away, but soon senses something. He notices the string is not breaking. He looks up at the moon to see the string is still intact. He looks at the moon carefully and sees Blitz's hand that the string is tied to has broken free from the prison. Soon, Stolas has a strong sign of hope.

And with that, Stolas leaps out of the water and flies towards the moon.

Stolas:

I will try to make amends

For making you means to an end

So, look my way

Please look my way

The Goetia Prince then threw his hand out and managed to take Blitz's hand, changing the constellation form of Blitz to the real live one. He then pulls Blitz out and they both start plummeting towards the water.

Stolas:

And if there's something more that I don't know

I'll save us both before we grow cold

If you'll stay, and just say, 'Look my way'

Soon the two splashed into the water and begins to sink into the watery darkness as they held each other in their arms.

Suddenly, Stolas ends up hearing Blitz's voice, "Stolas.... Stolas..."

Stolas soon opens his eyes, and lifts his head from his desk. Turns out, Stolas has fallen asleep on his bed after the long morning he had. Looking tired, Stolas sees Blitz looking down towards him.

"Oh, hello Blitzy. Did you just arrive?" Stolas asks.

"Um yeah. Sarge allowed me to come home early, and I saw you sleeping," Blitz says.

Then says, "Hey listen, sorry for feeling a bit down. I guess I'm still well, new to the relationship, and a lot has happened with Ozzie's, the argument with your wife and such."

Stolas smiles, "It's quite alright. I guess I'm still feeling new to the relationship as well. He then says, "If you want, we can simply lay down and relax the rest of the day."

"Yes. I would like that," Blitz says.

And then the two lay on the bed together and ended up sleeping together late in the afternoon.

Flashback Ends:

Stolas smiles as he places the engagement box down. He then smiles and turns to see a photograph of himself with Blitz, Octavia, and Mimmy in Blitz's arms as she waves to the camera. After so long, Stolas believes that it's time for him to take his relationship to the next level.

Stolas then says to himself, "Soon, my love..."
