I have decided to do a series of one-shots on pairings for MVille Vamps. You guys can review me a request to do a certain pairing,whether it is one in the series or not. And I will do them as quickly as possible. And I will do multiple one shots on a pairing if someone requests another one. And they will be generally short.

This one is for vicky199416. I will have the Amelie/Sam out later. Thank you for reading and reviewing! Anyways,on with the story. Hope you like it! And by the way,I don't know if anyone noticed,but I am writing them in present tense because I am trying to expand my writing styles and I have never done that. I usually write in past tense. So tell me how I do with pres. tense too.

Claire and Myrnin

"Myrnin?" Claire asks tentatively as she walks cautiously off the last stair and into Myrnin's lab. There is a rustle of fabric and a breeze and suddenly he is right in front of her. But not for long. He grabs her arm and yanks her toward the center of the lab.

"Perfect! Stay right here,"Myrnin exclaims before rushing to the shadows in the corner of the lab. Claire hears the ping of metal on metal faintly before Myrnin returns with his right hand closed firmly but with space in the center of his fist as if he is holding something.

"Myrnin,what is in your hand?" Claire asks fearfully,forgetting her curiousity at why he made her stand in a specific spot. She is more worried he can possibly be holding some creature or weapon. The possibilities are endless. And with Myrnin,fatal and any range of things that don't exist for the remainder of the world.

"Oh,don't fret Little Claire. Do you trust me?" Myrnin asks, and for the last part he seems genuinely interested. And sane.

"I remember what happened the last time you asked me that. I became Bishop's slave and Shane got locked away." Claire says skeptically.

"It is nothing that drastic this time. Your answer?" Myrnin seems to almost chide her. He walks to the wall in that is in across from Claire and tinkers with something else in the shadows. This time,after a few moments,a tiny red light pops out of the darkness and a soft clicking sound can be heard.

"Yes,I trust you Myrnin. And what's that clicking noise?" Claire inquires, confused.

"Good. Now close your eyes. Open them and smile when I say to," Myrnin directs as he walks back to Claire's side.

Not the brightest idea when you're with an at-one-time insane vampire,but Claire could see he was himself and had no intention of hurting her so she did as he asked. She feels him put one arm around her back,still keeping his position at her side,and then the light pressure of what she assumes is either his chin or other hand upon the top of her head.
"Now,Claire."

She opened her eyes and smiled,as Myrnin had asked. Three more soft little clicks,and then a bright flash. Claire blinked quickly to clear the little white spots clouding her vision from the sudden light. Suddenly the pressure from the top of her head and Myrnin's arm is gone. And the vampire himself is back to the place in the shadows where the metal on metal sound was heard from the first time he was over there. The sounds are heard again, and then he moves to where the red light was at. A moment later, Myrnin steps from the shadows holding a tripod with a camera mounted on it. It is actually a decently new camera.

"You could have told me you were taking our picture and I would have agreed voluntarily," Claire says,sighing. Myrnin always has to take the difficult route.

"I don't think you would have," he says guiltily. When Myrnin says something like he is guilty,that is not good.

"Why?" Claire demands. In response,he simply turns the camera around-after dismounting it from the tripod-and shows her the picture.

With the lab as the background,Mynin is shown with his arm around Claire,flashing a dazzling grin,and Claire smiling beautifully with..
"Is that Bob on my head!" Claire demands furiously. "Myrnin!"

Myrnin smiles,"Yes. I knew you would never allow me to have Bob in the picture as you would have to be in close range with him. But now we have a family portrait!" He looked like a kid in a candy store... or a vampire at a superbowl.

"Family portrait?" Claire asks. Myrnin realizes what he let slip out and being Myrnin,he boldly says,"If I am to start courting you,I decided we need a family portrait for future times." He stated this with bravado,but on the inside he was worried what she would do.

"I.. think I can agree there,"Claire says slowly. She has liked him since he was insane. That was the reason she broke up with Shane,though she never told Myrnin this. Or Shane. He would freak. Myrnin smiles like a madman and pulls her into a big hug.

"If you ever put Bob on me again though.. I will tell Santa Clause not to come back anymore,"Claire threatens.

"I don't believe in Santa Clause,Claire."

"I will call the Easter Bunny then."

"You wouldn't! But I love the Easter baskets he brings me!"

At least Amelie will be glad to make that my job,Claire thinks,mentally sighing.

Please review and request. Thanks,
