[39] The Impossible [open]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[This couldn't be happening. It was almost like a conspiracy. The two apostles gone and now this!? Aion slowly began to open his eyes as he stared at the ground from his given position. The sudden flow of air into his lungs forced him to violently cough as residual blood splatted out. He angrily gritted his teeth as he managed to stand and lean against the wall of the building. The hair follicles left around his neck and suit gradually fell to the floor. He didn't know what the hell that thing was but the sensation he was feeling throughout his body gave him the verdict of what had happened. His skin cold as ice, it was the same feeling he felt when the demon touched the Saint's skin. He was certain he was the walking dead.

The sinner weakly began to walk out of the private room of the casino and headed towards the exit. There were no longer damages to his body but his suit was stained in red and the shear exhaustion remained; making it difficult to check the messages on his phone and keep his balance in check without the support of something. After checking them, he violently shut it and tossed it into his pocket. Lilith's mindless blabbering was unsettling. He had to make it back home soon to find out the truth behind it.]

[[ooc: Sooo yea, the unseen creature attacked Aion and rid of him in the process since he didn't do that deities tribute ->W>-;;; so right now he's on his way back to the Cathedral. I made it an open action log in case anyone wanted to possibly help him (especially if they don't know him? LOL), mock him (which yea, don't beat him up too much~ -TTWTT-;;;, or something~ lol between the time of leaving the Casino and making it to the Cathedral. And Lore~ action log for Lilith is a go~<333 Thanks!]]

Maybe you will find a nice young lady... It's not healthy for you to live with me at your age, Aion. Look at Chrono and Seth.

[She commented as she tenderly massaged the knots of his hair and let the foam of the shampoo cover the hair. She reached for a porcelain cup, next to tub, filling it with water.]

Close your eyes.

[She instructed before dropping the water on his head, trying to wash the shampoo away.]

Although, I admit I will miss you and is hard to let go.

[With a pop of a vein, Aion glared at Lilith. This was going far enough. He began to turn around to snap a comment when she pours the water over his head. Quickly, he tilted his head down to avoid it from entering his eyes when he heard her last statement. The sinner slowly rolled his head up, part of his face covered by his long wet hair as he stared at her through the strands. He could see that she meant every word. He subconsciously trance posed the image of the lady standing on the field and his lips followed, displaying a weak smile. He lost it.]

Someone has to keep a close eye on you, Lilith.

That should be the opposite, dear.

[She was glad to see him at least not upset, she smiled softly and grabbed the soap.]

Lean forward, so I could scrub your back.

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

All right.

[Aion complied and leaned forward as he closed his eyes and imagined the hand moving across his back.]

[She was gentle with the scrubbing, but nonetheless, she tried to be integral in the cleaning. When she finished, she drew water up in the cup and let it cascade down to wash the soap away.]

[The warm water felt rejuvenating. Or perhaps it was the mother's touch that did it. It didn't matter. He scooped some water and washed his face in attempt to get himself out of this trance; a trance that seemed to place him in this odd mood. He stood up and made his request. Maybe the scent of the bubbles were getting to him.]

Hand me the towel please.

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I have something better.

[Lilith had gone shopping earlier that day, she had brought him, among others a soft, fluffy, white bathrobe she unfolded for him to help to try up.]

[Aion looked over his shoulder and widened his eyes to see what it was. Poking his arms through, he closed the front before facing Lilith and stepping out of the tub.]

When did you get this? [He asked as he wrung his hair. He couldn't recall one being in the closet.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I saw it on my way back home this morning and I thought about you. I had to buy it for you.

[She explained, leaning to reach for a towel to drape his head with it and dry his long hair.]

You already know how I enjoy to spoil my boy.

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He sat down on a chair when she draped his head. Staring down at the floor as she dried his hair, his eyes tensed as she spoke her last words. His hand slowly traveled up to gently grasp her wrist and pulled her in so he could rest his forehead onto her abdomen. It was definitely Lilith's scent and not hers, though who was really to know? He hide his face under the towel and against her body as he softly spoke in a tired manner.]

Thanks.

Ah dear, I need to brush your hair...

[She protested lightly, but didn't move. It must have been terrible for him. He was vulnerable after his death and she would provide everything he needed to make him feel better. She leaned, wrapping him with her arms, almost cradling the top of his body.]

Hush... Everything will be alright, I promise...

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[All his life he had secured his confidence by making sure things went his way. How comforting her words were though what was he doing? What was he thinking? No. This wasn't good and he knew it. He was getting sucked in too much. The leader of the sinners falling for something as ridiculous as this! He lightly placed a hand onto her back to signal her to let go.]

[Lilith does it, of course, she wouldn't want Aion uncomfortable after the traumatic episode he went through.]

Would you prefer I use the brush or a comb?

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion pulled the towel around his neck and reached for his glasses.]

It's all right I'll do it later. [He was growing rather weary of it all and wanted to rest. He had to stop her from babying him so much. It just wasn't... healthy. If he didn't watch out she was going to spoon feed him and whatever else mother's do. He stood up and began to walk out towards his room.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She trailed after him, worrying over his state.] Do you want me to bring your breakfast now? Or would you rather rest? I could tuck you in...

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He heard her worrisome voice and pulled his lips flat. Never in his life did he think he could be guilt tripped by anyone. He glanced over his shoulder with a weak smile and softly responded.]

Either is fine. You must be tired as well.

[He walked back into his room and plopped down onto the bed exhausted.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I feel alright, it's you who is exhausted. [Lilith followed Aion into his room. First he would fluff his pillows and then, she added more blankets to tuck him in. He was dead, cold, she tried to keep him warm.]

I will bring you your breakfast.

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Meal first.] All right.

[He wasn't hungry in the slightest but he figured it would be a good idea to fill his stomach with something. He picked up a book from his desk and began to read while waiting.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Lilith returned in ten minutes with a tray neatly prepared with beans, fried eggs, bacon, fried toast and dark coffee.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Feeling his cheek with his thumb as he browsed through the book, Aion looked up seeing Lilith return and closed it. Placing it back onto his desk, he stared at the food coming towards him and took in its scent.]

Smells good.

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Lilith smiled and unfolded a napkin over Aion's torso before lowering the tray.]

Thank you. If you need more coffee, call me. Leave the tray on the nightstand when you finish, I will retrieve it later.

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He lightly sighed and waited for her to set things up. He grabbed the utensils and began to cut.]

All right. [He bit into a piece of the egg when he realized. The flavor was there but the sensation of it going down felt as if it were passing through an empty never-ending tunnel. No hunger or satisfaction of being full. This was the feeling he was lacking.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Lilith waits outside the room until he finishes. She respects Aion's privacy, but she's unable to leave him alone after the traumatic experience he had lived and she wasn't there to help him.

It was her fault for leaving him alone. Her fault he died.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion finished most of it though simply stuffing his face wasn't cutting it anymore. He placed the half-eaten tray on the nightstand as she had requested and took his glasses off, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Finally rest. He began to slip under the covers.]

[AP: Cathedral]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Quietly, Lilith entered to the room, making no noise to not disturb him as she retrieved his tray of food. He didn't eat all, but she wouldn't lecture him about that.]
