《Keeping The Balance》Chapter Forty - The Number One Singer - Task World Three (End)
Advertisement
It has been a few weeks since the drugging accident and Hol spent a couple of days pampering Emery after their first time. He brought them so much expensive stuff even though they kept telling him that they were fine and to stop buying them stuff.
Hol was even told by Emery that they came from a pretty important family so they were basically as rich as him but that didn't stop Hol at all. He still wanted to spoil his precious lover. He didn't bring up the two people who were on his shit list or the fact they basically disappear.
Hol was also working very hard to make sure that Emery was getting even popular as a singer. He would always give Emery opportunities that would help boost their singing career. People would often complain and say that it was only because Hol enjoy listening to their singing and once he didn't like it anymore, Emery would become a nobody.
Everyone was really surprised when Hol kept on dating Emery for one year, then three years, seven years, and so on. Their relationship was seen as a really special one that everyone wishes to have with someone else as well.
Hol managed to complete the wish Rafael and get some points. He also completed the mission for Emery. He was told that he would live until he was in his nineties so it was a bit longer than his last life. He felt a bit happy knowing that but he knew that he would still leave his lover behind first...
"Hey, Emery... Do you want a child?" Hol was resting on the couch with Emery resting their head on his lap. Emery was messing around with his left hand and pulling on his ring finger. He tried not to feel anything when Emery put his ring finger in their mouth and bit down on his finger.
"A child? This is a weird way to propose to me." Emery took Rafael's ring finger out of his mouth and looked up at Rafael who was looking at him with a loving gaze. Emery raises his hand and boop their nose while giving them a huge smile.
"Propose to me the right way and I will give you an answer. But you should know it already, dummy..." Emery rests his hand on Rafael's cheek and pull on it. He felt like giggling when he noticed that Rafael was blushing a bit.
"I want to be with you and raise a family with you. If you don't want a child then we can have a pet. I don't care, as long as we are together. I just want to be with you..." Hol was speaking softly to Emery and he covered their hand with his. Their hand felt so warm in his...

"You are so cheesy... I love that about you dummy. I am never leaving your side, even if you beg me... Wait, that sounds pretty bad. Anyway, let's get married and maybe have a child. We can just start with a pet first then work our way up." Emery was lowering Rafael's head closer to his so they could kiss. He was feeling so happy and wanted to show it to his precious lover...
Hol couldn't keep the smile off his face as he kissed Emery softly. No matter how many times he proposes to his lover this feeling of happiness never disappears from his heart. It was a familiar feeling that he just wanted to keep experiencing... It was also a sad feeling but he couldn't understand why.
Hol made sure to commission the perfect ring to give to Emery and to make sure to plan out the perfect wedding for them. He even took a few days off to figure out who was going to be invited to their wedding and where it would happen. Hol made sure that Emery would focus only on their singing and to leave the whole wedding to him.
When it was the month of their wedding, Hol made everyone in his company take the whole month off so he could only focus on Emery and their wedding. Their wedding took place in a karaoke place that Emery really liked and everyone could sing if they wanted to. Hol met with Emery's family and he was super nervous since their family looked really serious.
But it turned out he was worried about nothing since they just had resting serious faces and they were actually really nice. They seem to like him right away and they really enjoy where the wedding was taking place.
Hol even introduced Emery to his family and you could tell they were related due to the way everyone was dressed. It seemed like everyone liked to stay out with their clothing and didn't seem to care about looking fancy or anything like that.
After their wedding, Hol took them on a honeymoon and took them basically all over the world. During their trip, they even adopted a baby boy, a kitty, and a puppy. Even though Emery wanted them to start slow with their family they couldn't help but fall in love with them as soon as they saw them.
Emery liked to spoil their son so much and Hol, unfortunately, had to take the role of the serious parent even though he wanted to spoil them as well. He could clearly see that their son loved Emery way more than him and he would always go crying to Emery about this.
"Why is our son so mean to me? I don't want him to grow up being selfish! I love our baby so much but he is so crueeeeellllll!" Hol was crying into Emery's stomach after their son just told him that they hated him. It was so cruel and he wanted to run away somewhere far away.

"He is a child and he doesn't really hate you. Give Timmy some time and he will understand that you are trying to make him not grow up being a spoiled rich child." Emery runs his hand through Rafael's hair as he comforts them. He knew how their son didn't like how firm Rafael was with them but it was for a good reason.
"I wanted to be the fun dad... But I am the boring and serious dad. What a cruel world I live in!" Hol put a hand dramatically on his forehead as he looked up at a smiling Emery. Hol couldn't help but smile as well as he saw the perfect smile on his lover's face.
Even though there was a hard time with their son, Hol knew that his son actually loved him. They were a bit meaner about showing it to Hol and he was fine with it since it was a cute look on them.
Their son got into music just like Emery but they were more focused on playing the piano and the violin instead of singing like Emery. Emery was still singing but they didn't do it as much since they wanted to focus on caring for their child.
Life went on peacefully for them and everything felt so perfect. It was really shitty when Hol could feel he was getting sick as he was getting closer to the end of his life. He tried to hide it from Emery but they ended up finding out when he passed out one day.
He was forced to stay in the hospital and see Emery's sad expression. He really didn't want his son to see him like this as well and wanted to keep this a secret but Emery told them already.
His son who used to be so small was big now and he was living quite the perfect life. He was happy he was able to see that but he was sad he couldn't be here a bit longer. As he got closer to his birthday the weaker he felt. He finally passed away in his sleep while holding the hand of Emery.
Hol didn't stick around any longer since he didn't want to see Emery cry once they realized he passed away in his sleep. He went back to the starry space once more and his heart felt heavy as always. He felt the urge to cry once he thought about his lover and his son that he just left behind.
Starie was floating next to him as they put a hand on his shoulder as Hol cover his eyes. He didn't say anything right away but after a few minutes of getting control of his emotions, he finally looked at them.
"I'm fine... It just feels a bit much leaving behind people I love so much... But I know I will see him again so it won't be forever." Hol gave a forced smile to Starie and his eyes felt a bit warm but he forced himself not to start crying.
Starie was rubbing his head as they spoke softly to him. This made Hol feel better but he immediately got a bad feeling once he heard about school.
"...Dammit, I am going to be a teenager in this next world. I have to go to school again? I fucking died but I still have to experience school and learning again. This is bullshit." Hol wasn't feeling sad anymore but he was feeling irritated knowing he was going to deal with some bullshit in the next world.
"Just put some of the skill points I got from this world into my smarts and the rest in the place you think will be helpful. Just send me to the world now... I need to get ready for dealing with teenage drama right away... Fuck me..." Hol just wanted to go the world right away once he realized he was going to be a teenager once again. He was pumping himself up as he got ready to go to the next world.
Starie threw a fist up into the air as they cheer Hol on before they send him to the next world. After making sure he was gone, Starie went to the other space area with the man in the coffin.
Starie rested a hand on the glass cover of the coffin the man was sleeping in. They closed their eyes as they took a piece of the man soul out of them before sending them to the world Hol was in.
Starie had a longing look in their eyes as they looked at their sleeping father. They wanted to touch their father's face but they knew it would only be cold. They didn't want to feel how cold their father felt... They wanted to remember the warm touch of their father a bit longer.
Starie couldn't help but chuckle as they remember how dumb Hol often acts. It was a bittersweet memory and they couldn't help but realize how lonely they were without the warmth of their parents.
Starie was quickly saying that to themself as they rested their face on the glass cover of the coffin. They pretend that their father was hugging them and it wasn't cold at all. They were okay... Everything was okay...

Needletongue, Carrotcake
The world isn't fair. If anything, the inherent injustice of the world is what separates it from the fiction we so adore. Luis Freighthold knew this all too well, and that was why it took a bit longer than it should have to realise when he suddenly had everything he could ever have wanted. Raised in a working-class single-father home, Luis had no other escape than fiction. Specifically, vampire stories of varying quality and genre. There was something appealing about the ability to fly, turn into shadows and become smoke. Danger. An unfamiliarity with the social world that rejected him so. Was it so wrong for him to hope for a different life? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, now he had it—a lust for blood and abilities beyond the understanding of civil man. Could you really say that he had anything left to complain about? A vampire story following an unconventional vampire boy forced to accept that maybe becoming a vampire doesn't magically solve all your problems. As a matter of fact, it might just make a whole bunch of them even worse. Regardless, Luis is prepared to try everything to live up to the vampire books he had previously gorged on. What did it matter that his vampire form had no teeth, replaced instead by a long, needle-tipped tongue? He was still a vampire, wasn't he? Chapters are around 10 A4 pages long, releasing once a week on Mondays, 01:00 CET.
