The Devil and His Star

Serenity

I'm the punch line of everyone's joke, and if I'm not at war with my own mind, I'm at battle with the one who's supposed to be my forever. Until he appears. He shows me everything I want and all that I am. He makes me feel. But I shouldn't get my hopes up. After all, the more you reach for the stars, the harder you'll fall.

Dante

Humans are vile, and love doesn't exist. These are two things I know to be true. I tell myself that she's no different. But while I'm lying to her about my intentions, I'm not sure how much longer I can keep lying to myself. Because this human is anything but vile, and that stupid thing called love is starting to seem real.
