Please be kind, this is my first fan fiction. This is mainly about my favorite character Otis Otis and his sensitive side. Vladimir has just broken up with Meredith out of fear that he might hurt her. Otis and Nelly are both detached from Vlad as he slips deep into a depression. Otis wishes to comfort both his nephew, Vlad, and his lover, Nelly. But does that leave him without any help? Perhaps very light VladxOtis in later chapters. Please read and review!

Vladimir and Otis stood outside as the sky darkened into night. Otis stared in a defeated manner at the ground. Vlad looked troubled while he looked off into space.

I apologize in advance. I've been trying to not to invade your thoughts without permission. However, you've been in a lot of pain since your breakup from Meredith. Do you wish to talk about it?

Vladimir shook his head in an anguished manner. He knew Otis might be able to ease his suffering, but he just couldn't pour out his emotions to his uncle. It didn't seem fair.

No, I don't think it's very nice to make you listen to my teen angst. Thanks for the concern though. It always makes me happy when you try help with my problems.

Otis' eyes gleamed in a melancholy light. "I'll be here whenever you need me. Vlad you're like a son to me. It hurts to see you go through this alone."

Vladimir sighed. His feelings caught up with him as a tear crawled down him pale cheekbone. "Thank you." was all Vlad could say before more sobs ripped through him.

Please calm down. I really think it would help if we discussed what is causing you this emotional distress.

Otis grimaced as he grabbed a silk cloth from his pocket and carefully wiped his nephew's face.

Vladimir smiled and hugged Otis' neck.

I just need to be alone for awhile.

The blonde haired vampire nodded with understanding as Vlad walked away to his special place in the belfry. Otis stood stationary as he watched Tomas' son fade into the distance.

...

Nelly pulled a fresh tray of chocolate chip cookies out of the oven with happiness smeared all over her expression.

"I've been waiting for you to come see me all day, Otis." Nelly said with a smile.

"Thank you my dearest. It means a lot to know I am missed."

The vampire grabbed his love's hand and kissed it sweetly. Otis' mind raced for a moment of all the crimes he had committed. For some reason being in love with Nelly just didn't seem to compare with the others. How could finding a soul mate be wrong? He wondered how he could have ever been against Tomas for his choice to leave Elysia.

"Where's Vlad gone off to?" Nelly asked quietly. Otis was reminded that he was not the only one worried about Vladimir. He cringed.

"He's out being a teenager. He's enjoying freedom." The vampire's voice was bouncy and light. The words didn't comfort Nelly though. Her face shadowed with grief.

"I'm so sorry Nelly. It hurts me too when he's miserable like this. Vladimir's going through a lot. It's never just one thing that's bothering him. He will never be able to have a normal life." Otis spoke reverently and solemn. Nelly bit down on her lip as she attempted a positive countenance.

"I know. It just upsets me sometimes." Her voice wavered as she spoke.

Vladimir! Nelly would be happy to see you home. It would make me happy to see you home as well.

Vlad heard his uncle's plea. Silence was his only response.
