Demons in Love
Dolemeck came back from another day at work and just looked somewhat tired. He hung up his wool coat on the wall, dropped his backpack (which was often filled with weapons or supplies for wood carving) near the front door, and began to wander into his bedroom, only to open his door to quite a shock. Diana had somehow managed to get into the apartment he shared with Tyler, and was in her natural form. She had on nothing but a black bikini, and her tail was swinging back and forth as their eyes met.

"How did you..." Dolemeck was trying to piece things together before Diana grasped the sides of his face and gave him a kiss.

"I told your land-lady I was a friend coming for a visit and you forgot to unlock the door for me." She spoke after the kiss and smiled a bit. "Well, in my disguise at least. I doubt she would open the door with this appearance."

"Aye, I understand. but you promised to tell me when you were coming to visit, Diana." Dolemeck looked slightly upset, enough that it caused Diana's smile to fade. "My roommate may not approve of... your natural form. No matter how much I find it utterly attractive. He's a bit... cautious when it comes to the super natural."

"Understandable. Not many are like us." Diana spoke in a matter of fact tone of voice. "It just has been so long since I had seen you, and I was worried, Dolemeck."

"I am sorry, I did not mean to make you worry." His hands gently grasped Diana's. His thumbs would move over her knuckles as he held them. "I have just been so busy. Between the Tyrks within the city, my jobs, and trying to get my GED... I am just so exhausted."

"You might be trying to do too much at once, my darling." Letting off a sigh, Diana guided Dolemeck to sit on the bed with her. "I know I cannot be your psychologist due to our personal relationship, but you need to have time for yourself. Doing so much at once will wear you down, and could lead to another break down."

"It is just so hard. I never knew modern life in this era would be so... complex." He flopped back on the bed, placing his hands over his face. "It is not fair to you, either. I feel I have been so wrapped up with things here that I have neglected you, Diana."

"That is why I am here and wish to speak with you." Diana gave another smile as she straddled Dolemeck's hips in a playful manner. "I am thinking of relocating to Portland. It is not too far from here, and it has a very high class area with computer programmers and CEO's who require my services. Plus their minds are always so fascinating to see. No two humans are alike, after-all. Not even twins."

"So... we could spend more time, together?" He asked as his hands dropped down from his face.

"Of course! It will be fun. We can have romantic dates, go on nature hikes, destroy lesser demons..."

"You may have had me at the lesser demon part." His voice came off as a bit more demonic with that statement.

"To be honest, he did not want anyone to know." Diana placed a hand on Dolemeck's shoulder. "Dolemeck, is it okay if I tell him?"

"I think you would vice it better than I." His voice was soft, as though he were embarrassed or nervous.

"Dolemeck suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as an anxiety disorder." Diana went on to explain. "Back in his time, before he was nearly sentenced to death, he had been sent to a torture chamber. He never voiced what went on in there, but tying him up tends to set him off like a bomb. It literally forced him to re-live the entire event from start to finish."

"It took Diana nearly an hour to get me under control. I did not want you to know, because it would have worried you further." Dolemeck felt Diana hug him for a moment. "You should not have to take care of me like a child. You did not sign up for such a task, and I am sorry I caused you such grief. I just did not want to add to it more."

"We ended up lying to Argo about the whole situation as well. To the point we even sent off a photo of the two of us cuddling in bed... just to cover it up." Diana herself looked worried. "All we did that night was talk, and well... the two of us found a sort of connection. So we decided to start dating. But only after Dolemeck promised me that he would continue his therapy and taking his medication."

	Tyler sighed, shaking his head as he sat down beside Dolemeck. "Maybe it isn't, but as your friend, not to mention your roommate, I would have to know this stuff if I'm going to be any help if something like this were to happen again, Dolemeck," Tyler explained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think I shall go for a bit." Diana offered a smile to the two men before changing into her human form. She handed Dolemeck back his shirt and put her dress and shoes back on. "I will come back later, Dolemeck. Do not worry, any."

The minute Diana left meant that he and Tyler could now speak more freely about things that were going on and what he was keeping from his roommate and friend.

"You quickly became my best friend, Tyler. I told you once before you are like my brother, but I am not family. I do not wish you to stick your neck out for me or have me impact your life so negatively. So I decided such issues were my own and not yours to shoulder." He let his hand drop back down to his lap.

"I started going to therapy more often, taking medication like Diana stated, even going for my GED so I would have something to focus on. I have been trying to keep myself more and more busy so you would see less of me in the apartment, and you could relax or do things you wish."

	"Dolemeck..I appreciate that you thought you were doing me a favor, but I did choose to look after you. That was my choice, regardless of what's happened afterwards. No, I didn't expect the things that have happened, but that doesn't mean I won't adapt to it. Honestly," Tyler admiuts. "..it's been nice having something in my life aside from all the death."

"You chose to take on such a role? I honestly felt like I was forced on you." He looked a bit shocked at learning of this. "I never knew... I just thought you felt like you had no choice in the matter and were resentful. I always made your right eye twitch or just become agitated."

"Despite all of that, it does feel nice." he offered a smile, finally. "I like coming home and having someone to talk to and fight beside."

	"I only got irritated because it was something I didn't expect," Tyler clarified. "But yeah, I chose too, I didn't have to." Tyler pats Dolemeck on the back. "I guess we're both just getting used to things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-26 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, I could not agree more." He admitted. "I am trying to make better choices in my life, however. Though I think a made a poor choice in not telling you about my condition and keeping myself overly busy. For that, I am terribly sorry, Tyler." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tyler gives Dolemeck a quick hug. "It's okay. We'll just work on that communication thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-26 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Did you just.... hug me?" He blinked at the sudden and quick hug, offering one back. This was... odd. "Okay, then let's work on the communication thing. What is it you would like to know about my condition?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2013-11-26 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah..is that not okay?" Tyler asked, wondering if he just overstepped a boundary. "Well, what do you think I should know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It is fine, I am just a bit surprised that you would hug me of all people." He was still a little in shock. "There is nothing wrong with hugging me, I mind not. Though it is as you said, there are somethings you should know."

"Being bound causes me to freeze up. It is as though my mind travels back to the time I was held in the King's dungeon for forty seven days. I was not even eighteen years old and I was subjected to such... horrors."

He looked a bit pained as he told Tyler of this.

"It is like everything around me fades away and I am back there, again. I could not even escape the memory until it all played out, and then I was just a mess. After such an episode, I pretended everything was okay and asked Argo to take me on another adventure to just forget what had happened."

	"It was very bad. No mercy was shown to me, as the crime I was accused of was rape." He frowned. "My eldest brother, Dayton, was the head torture master at the time. He was accused of going too "light" on me, so another torture master was brought in." His lips quivered a little as he spoke. Never had Tyler seen him fight to keep himself composed.

Dolemeck took that opportunity to hug Tyler. He was still fighting to keep himself completely composed.

"I always thought, such things only happened to bad people. I had never done a bad thing in my entire life, and there I was... with hardened criminals and men who were due to be executed. I did not belong there, but no one believed me. The more I refused to admit guilt, the more I was hurt. I was not a bad person.. I'm not a bad person..."

	dolemecknight 2013-11-26 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Dolemeck sniffled a little. "When you asked me after I killed that Tyrk, if I was okay. I lied to you, Tyler, I am sorry. I wanted to kill every last one of them. I wanted them all to suffer for trying to hurt you and the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's natural to feel that way towards those that would hurt you or your loved ones, but you kept it from influencing your judgement and that's what counts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-27 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Aye." He nodded his head, finally letting go of Tyler. "It's just... he threw a dumpster at you! If I was not there... you could have died! Life would be lonely without you, Tyler." Finally composed, Dolemeck brought up another important topic. "I know... you are worried about me being with Diana. May I ask what your concerns are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2013-11-27 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"It would take more than a dumpster to kill me. I'm a lot more durable than I look." And there it was. "You mean aside from the obvious?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-27 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"Aside from the obvious point that she is a she-devil." He let off a small sigh. "I have a feeling there is more you are worried about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2013-11-27 12:24 am UTC (link)
	"I don't want to question your judgement on this, Dolemeck," Tyler began. "but she said it herself. Only around 1% of demons exhibit even basic neutrality much less goodness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-27 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Tyler..." He looked slightly distraught. "She has been good to me. Making sure I am well both mentally and physically. Taking things very slow with me... and she understands my struggles with being part demon." "I am trying not to "settle", but I also realize no normal woman would want me. Especially after the first date Argo set me up on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2013-11-27 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Dolemeck..you've had some bad experiences with women, but don't give up on them now. Sometimes these things have too happen naturally. As for Diana..I'm sure I don't have to tell you about the legitimate reasons why this would bring up concern." "He sighs once, rubbing his head. "I'm really trying not to question you too much here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-11-27 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"It's okay. I'll answer your questions. We need to have communication as you said. And if you are truly that concerned, then you are not treating me as a child, aye?" He tilted his head. "Are you concerned that she could corrupt me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
