I loved I loved and I lost you

Alaric - 500+ demon - loved two people, made the ultimate sacrifice for one, could do nothing for the other

Bars were incredible. They were dens of inequity, sex, drugs, so on. He felt right at home in them. He straightened his leather jacket as his eyes scanned around and... Something caught his attention. Music, and a singing voice that was so pure and... yet gravelly at the same time. Captivating. Alaric looked over, his eyes catching on a young man at the stage. A small smile pulled at his lips. Tommy. The familiar that was always underfoot. He made his way to the steps by the stage, waiting for the young man to be done.

“I said back off once already. Take a hint.” She said, glowering at the guy.

Alaric gave a low chuckle, getting up and sulking over. “I’d leave. She can handle herself. And I have little patience for those who can’t take no for an answer.”

“Hi, I’m Genevieve and I’m drunk!!”

Alaric chuckled, a dry hardly even amused sound, and turned. And then froze. Because it was his big sister. He tightened his jaw. He'd learned the hard way. Demons didn't get feelings. They didn't get happy endings. They didn't get family. "Genevieve Scarlette Rivers." It was hard to not sound amused, to not smile just a little. "What a sight." His older sister. He was angry at the world, bitter, cold as a demon should be. But suddenly, for the first time, the first ray of who he had been with Tommy started to come forward. And he wanted to eliminate it.

Alaric scoffed and looked at the girl. A demon, like himself. "Got that right." He pulled a cigarette from his pocket before holding out a hand. "Can I get a light?" He quit once. For Tommy. But now? Fuck it to hell. Hell. He scoffed. "Ever made the mistake of trying that love shit?"

“Humanity. I’ve been here two minutes and I just- Humanity,” Alaric repeated with a scoff as he shook his head with annoyance. “Love is utter bullshit. Family, romance, friends. Never lasts. Get used to it cupcake.”
