Love Agreement With The King

John spent entire days at the castle but his father's condition grew worse every day.

John now knew the day of his death would come, he just hoped it would be later than he expected. He wasn't a guy who believed in God or religion and he barely prayed. But those days he started to pray, Sebastian asked him to join in prayer, since that day he prayed every evening.

It didn't help the situation but at least deeply inside, John knew he tried his best to do everything in his power and save his father.

"I will bite him," John said he couldn't look at his father and see the light fade away a little bit more day after day.

Sebastian's eyes lit up, a glimpse of hope in his smile as he went to hug John.

"There aren't many chances, there is probably a very low percentage of success," John said, his voice wasn't on the edge of breaking and his fists were so clenched to hold back the tears.

"I want to try anyway," John said, walking closer to his dad's bed.

William's trembling lips curved into a smile, "I love you John but please don't do it." He murmured.

William was averse to turning, he thought it was against nature and God's will, if that day has come he had to listen to God's will.

"Please. I know I wouldn't like myself as a vampire and I doubt my body will survive." William continued.

Sebastian's eyes filled with tears and he shook his head, "please, dad." he had called him dad for the first time, hearing that word William's eyes shined and his smile grow bigger.

"I love you both so much, I am proud of you," William said, gazing at both of them.

"I will always be with you two, now please stop dwelling on how to save me, and let's enjoy our time together." William stretched his hands which his two sons soon held.

They spent the rest of the day talking about the past, the future, joking about the most random things, and enjoying each other's company to the fullest.

When it was almost dinner time William was feeling very sleepy so they both left him to sleep and they went to the kitchen to make him a tasty meal together.

They didn't know how to cook very much but they together managed to cook salmon and chicken and then cut some vegetables as a side dish.

When they were finally done they went back to William's room, carrying the dishes proudly and looking forward to having their father's reaction at their job.

William was still sleeping so they quietly walked in and placed the trail on the bedside table, John whispered to Sebastian to call their father in sync.

He started to count, "three, two..."

They looked at each other and perfectly synchronized they whispered, "William wake up."

No answer, "dad, we made you lunch." Sebastian added.

William was still sleeping, he couldn't hear his sons at all.

John's face got paler, his eyes widened and his mouth dried as in his throat formed a lump.

"Dad.." John shook his hand, as a desperate call to wake him up.

"Dad!" He raised his voice, his voice was more hoarse as if it was a scold. Rebuking him for not waking up, didn't he know John wasn't ready to lose him.

When John touched his hand it was cold as ice, his face was more relaxed and John and Sebastian both understood what had happened. 

"No..." Sebastian whispered, his voice as low as a murmur and his hand placed on his chest gripping as if he wanted to rip his heart out, maybe that would give him a less excruciating pain than the pain he was feeling now.

"You promised me you would never leave me." His voice creaked in his throat, in a fraction of a second his face filled with tears and his eyes soaked and bloated as a wet towel.

John remained frozen as if the situation was so hard to bear that his muscles and his mind stopped for a second, all he could feel was an aching grip on his chest impeding him from breathing properly.

Tears fell from his face, he gasped for air and sobbed. The room filled with crying and desperation, how can life give you so much and at the same time deprive you of the most awesome things he blessed you with.

Two broken hearts in the room, one which stopped forever, if John or Sebastian could do anything to revive William, they would do everything in their power. 

But there was nothing they could do besides crying their grief. That's the reason why John struggled so much to deal with death because there was nothing he could do to oppose it. He couldn't postpone it or beg for more time with his loved ones

"He is gone," John said, spreading his arms and hugging Sebastian tightly. 

Sebastian cried so loudly and sobbest so fastly that he couldn't even speak as his breath shortened.

"I am sorry," John murmured, he was sorry for him, he had been abandoned all his life and now he even from Willian although unconsciously. 

"You can stay with us, you're in a good relationship with Elijah already."

Sebastian didn't seem willing to walk about that now, he just wanted to cry and let his measurability soak all his energies until he was completely drained out of energy.

he had never felt how amazing it was having someone who loved you unconsciously as much as William loved him and now that he knew what he had lost, he was even more wrecked.

He knew nobody will ever love him as much as William did, nobody will ever treat him as well as William did and put him first even if he was just an orphan boy.

Sebastian didn't want to depart from the hug, he remained sunk in his embrace for some minutes, melting in his warmth and reminding him how William hugged him.
