Why Do You Care For Me?

Barbatos POV:

I step outside, wanting to get some fresh air, no, I'm not the smartest, probably should've stayed inside when I have a feeling of impending doom, but it's too late for that

I look around, seeing that the sun's just coming up, it's a chilly morning, but nothing I can't handle

I watch as the sun rises, thinking it's quite beautiful and forgetting about my fears

That feeling doesn't last long because the beautiful sunrise turns into a giant meteor coming right toward me "shit" I mumble as I stare up at it in shock for a moment, my heart beating at what seems like 100 mph

It takes only a few seconds for me to get my shit together, but by that time it's already about to hit me, I quickly dash out of the way, spreading my wings so I fly above my now destroyed house

Adrenaline rushes through my body, my breathing heavy and my eyes wide

I look around for any signs of Morax since that meteor obviously came from him, if he's found out about me and Alatus...

No, I can't think about that right now, I need to focus, no doubt he's not going to stop at just that

I'm going to die today, I'm going to fucking die

Stop it, focus, where is he

Before I know it I feel a stab on my back and quickly blow myself away from whatever it is

I quickly turn to see Morax, luckily I reacted fast enough otherwise I'd be dead, I feel a sharp pain between my wings and there's blood trickling down my back

I can't support myself in the air for much longer because of this, and I fall to the ground, landing on my hands and knees, which scrape painfully

Despite this I quickly get to my feet, pure adrenaline pushing me to fight

I whip out the only weapon I have on me, my spear, I'm not great with the spear but this will have to do

Morax takes a step toward me, his towering height makes me even more terrified

"Oh, Barbatos, you really thought you would get away with manipulating my son" he says, in a rather villainous tone

I try to stand up straight but the stab wound between my wings doesn't let me, I gasp at the pain

"Not going to speak to me? Hmph, didn't think you were that weak" he crosses his arms to summon another meteor

This is my chance, I lunge forward to stab him, and in would've worked, it was so close, but his wife appears in front of him and I stab her in the heart before I can react

Both my and Morax's eyes widen in shock as Guizhong's blood splashes onto me, I quickly pull my spear out of her and stagger backwards in pure shock

The meteor stops in its tracks as Morax falls on his knees next to Guizhong, a look of shock and horror on his face

"No no no no" he says picking up Guizhong's head to rest limply on his lap "this can't be happening... Guizhong..."

Guizhong's already gone, there's no way she could've survived a blow to the heart like that

A tear streams down Morax's face "you did this Barbatos! You fucking monster!" he says, his tone filled with grief

I shake my head in pure shock, I still haven't registered what just happened

In Morax's grief, something clicks for him, it feels so awful to lose someone you love, and he was about to make his own son go through that pain. What was he thinking? If anything he's the monster

"I-I'm sorry... I didn't have time to react... And..." I stutter out

"Just leave, before I decide to get revenge" he says, obviously holding in his emotions because he doesn't want me to see it

"As... As you wish..." I say then teleport to a stream so I can wash off this blood

Turns out Alatus is where I teleported "Barbatos! You're alive!" he says and pulls me into a tight hug, tears streaming down his face

He noticed the wound on my back "here, let me help you patch that up" he says and starts to bandage my wound

I don't deserve him, he loves me so much and all I wanted was to take down Morax, and now I killed his mom, it was an accident, but I still did it

"How did you survive?" he asks me, he was so convinced I would die

"I... I was about to kill Morax but... But... Your mother appeared in front of him to protect him and... And... She's dead now..." I say, tears welling in my eyes

He looks at me in shock "you... You're kidding, right?" he asks

I shake my head sadly "I'm sorry..." I say

Tears start to well in his eyes "no... No you can't be serious..." he says, even though he knows that I'm telling the truth "you... You killed my mom"

"Yes... But... It was an accident... I'm sorry..." I say, knowing he's going to hate me after this

But to my surprise, he hugs me tightly and starts to sob into my shoulder, he must really love me if he'll forgive me for this

I wrap my arms around him, getting his mother's blood all over him as I do, I don't deserve to be forgiven, yet here I am

He grips onto my back, loudly sobbing, I want to wrap him in my wings because I know that would comfort him, but it hurts so much to move my wings right now because of what his father did to me

I don't know how to comfort him in any other way though, so I slowly and gently wrap my wings around him, clenching my teeth from the pain

It's worth it to comfort him, maybe I do really love him, I mean, if I didn't it would hurt him so much, so I almost have to at this point

A/N:
Sorry that fight scene was probably very badly written lmao, anyway, this probably won't be the last chapter, but I can't really think of anything else to write so we'll see
