The grown man sat on the hospital bed, reading a book. He flipped the page, he had read this many times before. He loved this book. He'll never grow tried of reading it. His blue eyes read over the word he knew by heart, smiling to himself as he read. His room was a simple hospital room, a wheelchair siting in the coner. He was hooked up to an IV. His blonde hair was now grey, bits of yellow was there here and there. A knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts, taking him away from the book.
"Who is it?" He asked, closing the book and setting it beside the uneaten tray of food.
"Arthur and your pet," came the voice of his son. Arthur entered the room followed behind him, the vampire Alucard.
"What are you two doing here at this hour? Isn't visiting hours over?" The old man questioned. He was happy to see his son again, it had been a long time since his last visit. And.. Alucard, he missed that vampire. He wasn't in control of him anymore, Arthur has it all now. But unlike Arthur, he and this beast had their own unbreakable bond.
"They let us in anyways," Arthur sat down on the bed across from his father. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine as I can be, how is work? What about you? Are things alright? Is Alucard behaving?"
"Work is fine, I am fine, everything is alright, noting is wrong father. Don't worry,"
"And Alucard?" he looked at the vampire. The vampire moved a bit from standing still, his face was blank.
"God father, everything is fine. Alucard is behaving- if he doesn't.." Arthur gave the vampire a warning look then looked back at his aging father. "There is nothing for you to worry about," The younger man hugged his father. "relax alright?"
"It's hard to when you are running my work," the old man said, teasing him. Arthur chuckled a bit.
"Ah- father, you haven't touched your food. You need to eat," Arthur said seeing the untouched tray of food.
"I won't eat that crap," the old man said, his tone almost childish.
"Shall I go buy you something then?"
"Tea too please," the man smiled.
Arthur sighed "Alright, Alucard stay and be good," he ordered leaving the room reaching in his pocket to grab some money.
After a few moments of sitting and listening, making sure Arthur left Alucard spoke. "You aren't fine master,"
"I'm not your master anymore,"
"You will always be to me," the beast gave a small smile. The older man smiled back.
"Just call me Abraham," he patted the spot beside him. "Come, sit," The vampire followed the man's order and sat down beside him. The two both sat quietly for a few moments before Alucard took his old master into a tight hug. Abraham was a bit shocked at the strong arms warped around him, the cold skin pressing on his own. The vampire held him lovingly. Abraham hugged back, his hug was weak unlike the vampire's. His old arms warped around the older being and hugged him.
"I'll come visit again, don't pass on till then," Alucard moved from the hug and stared into the faded blue eyes.
"Oh, I'll try Alucard," Abraham kissed the beast's head. Alucard made a purring sound, nuzzling back into his master. The two men stayed together in till Arthur came back. Abraham was asleep, being petted by the vampire. Arthur sighed and put the food he bought down, leaving a note to his father.
"Come on Alucard, we need to get back to work"
