[i]Roxas spoke to Ophelia, but only two things registered in her mind right away. [color=ed1c24]"I'm a walking prison for the king of hell...."[/color] and [color=ed1c24]"I love you."[/color] She waited until he was done the dishes before making him sit on her bed. She stared at him intensely, her eyes shifting to a dark grey. She felt sick to her stomach, something that she hadn’t felt for a long time. Granted she’d been anxious and nervous before, but this was different.

[color=6ecff6]“What do you mean you’re a prison for the King of Hell?”[/color] she asked, her brow furrowing and she stayed a foot or two away. [color=6ecff6]“What does that mean, exactly?”[/color][/i]

Roxas looked up at Ophelia and he knew he freaked her out. [color=ed1c24]“I mean I'm literally the prison for the king of hell. You remember when I was having a problem after my fight? Yeah that was him trying to get out.”[/color] He looked down at his hands. He couldn't lose her. [color=ed1c24]“I know this is scary and I know I'm a freak now. I'm sorry I should have told you before.”[/color] 

[i][color=6ecff6]“The King of Hell… Like, the Devil?”[/color] she asked again, looking at him wide eyed. She felt though like this made a lot of sense. She remembered how he smelled to her that first time she encountered him, and she knew something was different. [color=6ecff6]“But why…”[/color][/i]

[color=ed1c24]“Because I wanted to protect everyone from dying. This is how Celti died. Because of me. We were trying to imprison him differently, but everything went wrong and I had to finish the ritual.”[/color] Roxas stood up and took his shirt off. He turned around to show her the pentagram on his back. [color=ed1c24]“I took things into my own hands and forced Ifrit into my head. Since then I've had him in my head. It's been tough, but I make it work. There's only one problem though. The side effect.”[/color] He paused then looked back at Ophelia. [color=ed1c24]“If I keep him for too long… I will die..”[/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“So what can be done?”[/color] Ophelia whispered after listening to his explanation. Her head was starting to hurt and she brought a hand up to rub the side of her jaw slightly. Her eyes shifted to the ground, and she chewed her lip causing her fangs to break the skin a little. [color=6ecff6]“Does that mean you’ll need an exorcism?”[/color][/i]

[color=ed1c24]“No, but we'd need something similar. I hope I haven't scared you off.”[/color] Roxas brought his hands to his head and felt scared. Something he hasn't felt in a very long time. [color=ed1c24]“Are you scared of me?”[/color] He looks up at her.

[i]Ophelia brought her gaze from the floor to his face, taking in his features quietly while she debated his question in her mind. She did feel scared. But she wasn’t sure if she was scared of him, or scared of the fact he sometimes couldn’t control it. She decided on the fact that she was scared that he couldn’t control it, and cleared her throat finally before speaking up again. [color=6ecff6]“I’m just afraid that you’ll lose control and hurt someone, whether that person is me or somebody else.”[/color] She thought for a moment again, then took one step towards him. [color=6ecff6]“But I’m not going anywhere.”[/color][/i]

Roxas looked up at her and took her hand. [color=ed1c24]“I really don't want to be alone again.”[/color] He says softly and looks with glossy eyes up at her. [color=ed1c24]“If anyone gets hurt it'll be me. It only seems to affect me.”[/color] He closes his eyes and breaths in deeply. 

[i]She let Roxas take her hand and felt his warmth against her skin. She shifted closer to him, moving to sit on his knee quietly for a moment. [color=6ecff6]“Then you won’t be. I’ll be here. Stay the night with me, and go to Church tomorrow with Jax. It might make you feel better.”[/color][/i]

[color=ed1c24]“Okay.”[/color] He whispered then leaned his head against her. [color=ed1c24]“I love you.”[/color] He says then leans up and kisses Ophelia gently. [color=ed1c24]“I'll go with her and we’ll see what I can do.”[/color] Roxas goes and lays down on her bed and pulls Ophelia to him. He closes his eyes and almost instantly falls asleep. 

[i][color=6ecff6]"I love you too..."[/color] Ophelia was pulled to lay down against her bed in Roxas’s arms. He fell asleep quickly and she slipped from his arms for a few moments, changing into some pjs before moving to brush her teeth and hair out. She checked quickly on Jax to see her and Hargul both sound asleep, and she locked the door before moving back into Roxas’s arms. She rested her head down and closed her eyes until early, rising before the other three to make them breakfast before heading out.[/i]
