Lie With Your Bones {closed}

@secondbornhalliwell:

She wasn’t sure how she felt about that advice. Should she
give Dan another chance? He hadn’t accepted her at all when he’d found out before
they took the memory of that away from him. He didn’t even want to see her or
look at her. How could she love someone like that? Clearly she did, but… Maybe
the question how could she still after that, not how could she continue…?

“I’m not really sure he could get used to me disappearing.
He didn’t like it much before and as we got more serious it was…more aggravating.
A constant issue. As well as…something else, that was an issue too…” She didn’t
really want to say more on that because the issue where she thought she felt
something for their handyman but could never make it work because he was also
their Whitelighter was… Well, it only compounded an already tumultuous problem with
an equally tumultuous problem. She didn’t need more problems.

And yet, here she was: unknowingly walking head-long into
another one…

“I guess I could understand that. You’re right of course…”
She smiled despite the sudden shift in the air as the weight of the secrets started
to cloud the space between them. “I really don’t want this to be weird. I like
you, Axel. I like that I can talk to you without judgment, even if you don’t
know everything.” She put a gentle hand back on his arm as he explained just a
bit more about himself, the last of what he felt he could tell her. She swallowed.
Her eyes shifted. He was five hundred years old!? That meant he had to be
something like…a demon or something right? It was then her eyes turned soft. He
couldn’t be evil. She’d seen no sign of it. She knew, or at the very least she
thought she did… And somehow the warning still played at the far reaches of her
consciousness.

“That’s…that’s a long time, Axel.” Piper’s voice was quiet.
“You must have lost a lot…over the years…”

“You have to find someone that will handle your needs as well as you handling theirs, it will be hard to find that person but maybe Dan is your person who will understand and take care of you.” The vampire mumbled as he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, he had, had his share of lovers over the years and because of what he is he lost them when they found out.

He looked at her as she spoke and then to her face, he could see that she had feelings for someone else and that maybe Dan wasnt the one for her. But it didnt hurt to give him another chance. 

As she put her hand on his arm he smiled up at her and lightly patted her hand. It was a small gesture of empathy and kindness and he knew she meant it, he could tell it wasnt fake like it had been with others. 

“I have lost a lot and will to continue to lose a lot…..Unless there is some how a cure for what I have I will be stuck like this, never aging….never dying…Always losing those close to me.” He mumbled, though of course he could die if he went out in the sun, or if someone staked his heart.
