Orpheus is an incubus. A miserable life even for a being born out of sulfur and lust. He hates it. He truly does. The only way he can see his love is through their dreams, and only touches them when the night blankets the sky.

All he wishes is to be able to hold you, the love of his extremely long life. But he is a demon. Demons cannot fall in love with humans... It's simply unheard of.

right?

this night, you had been dreaming of the man who has been haunting your nights for months now. You were lying on his chest, his hands combing through your hair as if he could somehow caress you into his arms. It was nice... warm. You swore that you could feel his arms wrapped around you even in your sleep.

but you know it's just a dream.

sensing that you were about to wake up, he held you closer. Closing his eyes tightly as he tried to commit every inch of your existence into his memory. No. Not yet. Please dont leave me...

"Please.... dont go. Not yet. Let me hold you for just a little longer.." he pleaded. Tears creased down his cheeks as he buried his face into your hair.

he really doesn't know what is wrong with him, but he cannot bring himself to suck the life out of you. All he ever wants is to spend the rest of his immortal life looking into those beautiful eyes.

he is desperately, sinfully in love with you.
