Dead boys meeting Orpheus
So, there is this idea that came to me recently:
The Hell is still trying to get Edwin's soul back, and now, unfortunately (for trespassing to Hell and stealing soul of certain Edwin Payne), Hell wants Charles' soul as well.
Hell spread the word that whoever brings at least one of the boys to the Gates of Hell, is going to be rewarded = a lots of demons and supernatural creatures are after the boys.
And there comes Orpheus, who is still desperate to save Eurydice from Hell and who is extremly pissed and jealous that Charles managed to rescue Edwin from Hell while he turned around and failed to save Eurydice.
Orpheus makes a deal with Hell that if he lures the ať least one of the boys to the Gates of Hell, where a whole bunch of demons will be waiting for them to take them to Hell, he will get Eurydice back.
He pretends to be a ghost street musician and befriends Charles and tells tells him how the girl he loves was killed and how he sings her favourite song every day hoping that this tune will lead her back to him.
Charles is moved by his story and takes him to the office as a new client, where Edwin refuses to help, because there is something odd about this mysterious musician's story, but then Orpheus helps when the boys are attacked by some supernatural creature and Edwin is willing to take the case.
At first, Orpheus plans to lure only Edwin to the Gates of Hell, so Charles can feel the same pain and despare he felt when he lost Eurydice, but by that time he knows the boys better and when he sees their love and devotion for each other, he has a change of heart.
He is struck by flashbacks of Eurydice and he realised that Eurydice would never forgive him if he condemns someone else's love to Hell, when the boys are ready to leave the office and go looking for musician's wife, he confesses to them, that he is actually Orpheus and warns them that Hell is offering a reward for them, admitting he was willing to trade them for Eurydice at the beginning.
Edwin is furious, but Charles understands his devotion to save the person he loves and is even willing to help Orpheus to save Eurydice from Hell, Orpheus however declines saying that he will never stop trying to save Eurydice, but she would never forgive him if he takes and destroys someone else's love just to save her.
Later, when they are saying their goodbyes, Orpheus gives advise to Charles that he should not wait long to figure out his feelings for Edwin, because forever to figure it out is never gurateed, and by the time he will figure his feelings out, it might be already too late.
Orpheus then leaves to the Gates of Hell alone, ready to face consequences of his unfulfilled deal with Hell...
If you like it, feel free to use this idea as inspiration for your own fic.
