You were an immortal.You quickly learned the hard way to not get attached go humans.

You stayed away from humanity by living in the woods but..you couldn't resist as you saw a little brunette boy who looked about 7 run in your woods, seeking refuge from his abusive father.

You followed him since you wanted to protect this little boy. You found out his name was Alastor. His mother had told him to run here and come back before dawn because that's when his father leaves to gamble.. You sighed and decided to be his friend.

He often came to you and hung out with you. You taught him how to hunt. By the time he was 10, he said "I love you" and you responded with a chuckle and the words "But you're just a kid"

His next confession came when you saw him dragging his fathers dead body. He was 21. He said "I still love you" with an obsessed look in his eyes. You responded with "But you're just a rash man." And quickly left. He started visiting less as he became a radio star and secretly a serial killer. You would offer see him at the forest burying bodies, maybe sometimes even helped him.

..He was 33. 33 and you found his dying body after he was shit while trying to hide a body. His last words were for you... "I love you." He said with pain and sad teary eyes, with a sparkle of hope In his eyes. And you replied with teary eyes. "But you're just a mortal". He died in your arms that cold night.

You dug a grave for him and you made him a headstone out of your bare hands.You regularly visited with bouquets of roses.It was 2024 now. He died at 1933.This specific day, you came with a bouquet of sunflowers you plucked yourself.You realize how much you actually loved him..how you still did after all these years..And how you watched him grow and how his love for you never faded.You broke down crying as you repeated his last words to his grave while sobbing.

"But you're just a mortal.."

Alastor was watching this.After his death, he fell to hell and often came to visit in spirit form using portals.
