Icarus & Lily

Today must be one of the worst nights Lily felt in such a long time. She was coughing blood and her chest clank like silverspoon when she drew a sharp breath

"Drink your tea, your highness" a servant gave her the medicine, the new doctor suggested.

"I don't want it" Lily pushed the tea and poured the rest to the servant. Shocked to find himself burnt by the hot water, feeling unapologized, Lily clutched her chest. There was a commotion out. She felt it. And moments later there was a pool of blood from her servants

She looked up from the ground and surprised to see him after a long while

"Icarus" she breathed his name. Years of trying to forget the face of the boy who inflicted her with the disease, she still felt a gut on her stomach, still feeling deceived, unloved and cheated.

"Why are you here" she hissed. There was only her and Icarus from the highest building where she was kept guarded but now all her guards are dead and she doesn't care for she only looks at the immortal in front of her. He once wanted her blood badly and now she's dying.

"My insides are not what it's used to, Icarus. I'm becoming an empty bottle, what do you still need from me" but Icarus only looked at her empty eyes and walk towards her. He grabbed her hair and pulled it in front of him. His fangs showed up and Lily waited for the end of everything

But she only felt his tongue glide the top of her lips, pushing it open. Years of blaming him for her disease caused by the lack of white blood, slowed immune system, but again, she gave herself to him. She opened her mouth and met the tongue of the person she once loved so much. Swirling back and forth she moaned with eyes half closed.

"I smell your blood from a far, and it's becoming stronger I thought I had this as the reason to come back" He said, "Spend your last night with me Lily, you're dying"

It was the truth. Icarus felt their red strings loosening, and while he can't tell Lily that it wasn't him that caused her to her deathbed but the poisons her parent inflicted upon her to catch the vile monster, he can only stay with Lily on her last moments.

He kissed Lily. Wrapped his arms around her and within a few minutes, they were out the high buildings but in the small house where he disguised himself as a farmer to be near her.

She was too weak to fight him back and realizing it now, all Lily wants is a last moment with Icarus. On the hard mattress where Icarus put her, she grabbed his face, looked into his eyes then to his mouth and said, "I have memorized this, your smell, your touch and your taste" opening her mouth she snake her arms to the nape of Icarus and said, "I don't care anymore"

She took off her robe and Icarus can only feel is heartbreak from seeing too much bruises from her. He can only kiss each to make the pain go away, lick her body and made a promise to her

They made love. Again and again. Until he memorized each parts of her body. Their tongues glide through their mouths then neck down to the breast, further down until both gets out of their breaths, it was one of the best moments for Lily.

"It would have been nice if we had so much time Icarus"

"I love you Lily"

"I know you didnt want my blood"

"Have you traveled before Icarus?"

"A long time ago"

"I wished we had time to travel"

"We still have time to"

"If we do I'd like to be in Paris"

Lily had sensed how the ground shakes now. It was as if there was a commotion again.

"Father was going to kill me" she said, her eyes were half closed and she made Icarus's body cover hers because of the shiver, "But I was already dying, he doesn't have any choice but to wait for you to come to me

"You have to go Icarus. Live for me" Lily said, putting her palm on the right cheeks of Icarus, "Fly for me, see the world" she added

"I already feel the waves of the army coming here. You're going to die too" She said. She's already coughing too much blood but Icarus seems unfazed by hers and is worried about the reality now, "Go now Icarus. Live for me" She kept pushing him until the army of people shook the little house and exposed only Lily

Lily died that night. Tied on the bed where they made love at while flames engulfed the house. Icarus can only watch from afar.

Tears, there was too much tears.

Icarus traveled the world for 500 years.

Until

He met her. In Paris. Year 2017 and it was strange but Icarus knew that blood, because those were the blood he badly wants, yet still feel unfazed of that crave.

"Lily, there's the guy in a black coat who's looking at you" He was looking at her.

"Stop imagining Bridgette, you think everyone who looks at me likes me"

"It's true he is looking at you"

So she looked and then she knew.
