Put your fangs up if you love the idea of Myrnin and Claire! This will start of slow but they will get together soon. This story will have some of what was how my other one was going to end, please don't bother looking for it I took it off.
Chapter 1 –
That day when I walked into the Lab, I had no clue that my life would change forever.
I slowly walked down the crocked stairs to the lab, as the rust of the old hinges spread dust all the over the place. It made my cough violently, as I reached the door to Myrnin's Lab I saw Myrnin sitting curled up in the middle of the Lab, crying deeply. He was violently shaking whispering nonsense to himself, it worried me.
I slowly yet curiously walked over to him, "Myrnin… Are you ok, what happened?" I whispered walking towards him still standing a few steps away in case this was one of his manic moments. They hadn't been so often at the moment but I couldn't afford to let my guard down, at least not in Morganville.
"I-It's B-Bob he's di-ed." He said in-between tears; it pained me to see him in so much pain.
"Myrnin it will all be ok; I'm going to call Amelie." I said a tear running down her face; though she didn't like Bob at the most part he was very close to Myrnin.
"Claire would you please prepare a funeral for tomorrow at one, it would be most appreciated?" He asked straightening himself and looking deep into my eyes; probably into my soul which I always felt he did when that look. For some reason this sent shivers down my skin, I nodded gently and called Amelie to tell her what happened, not that I expected any different she thought it was stupid morning over a spider, which I can't say I entirely disagree with.
I slowly went to sit next to Myrnin on the horrible green sofa in the corner of the Lab to discuss the arrangements for the funeral. "Where should we start?" He asked trying yet failing to compose himself.
"Location, flowers, guests and personal items." I said calmly trying to soothe Myrnin, which wasn't working, but it was all I could do I had been lucky enough never to have lost a loved one yet well a human one.
He replied "We could have it here, he always felt happy here well I guess he never really got out, for the flowers… ummm how about Orchids, as for the guest list, I'm not entirely sure he never really got to meet anyone but for now you, Amelie, and anyone else who will want to say goodbye. Also they will be his favourite treats scattered along the floor and speeches."
"Myrnin are you sure you want to do this now? You must be in pain you shouldn't have to deal with it at the moment." I asked Myrnin placing a hand on his across from the desk, which caused him to look up and give me the saddest eyes I had seen since Shane told me what happened to his family. Both then and now I forget about the world around me and mourn the lost and hope that death doesn't come yet to anyone.
"Yes Claire, I would most like to do this now. It has to be done and I would like to do it with Bob fresh in my mind and have a distraction from the sadness so I will not fall victim to the monster inside from my vulnerability. If that was to happen I fear there would be another death to mourn. So let's just focus on the guest list? But first Claire will you please tell me does the pain ever stop?" Myrnin asks his eyes almost make me want to cry from the deep sadness within them.
"Myrnin I know you probably don't want to hear this but the truth is You don't get over a lost, you just learn to try and deal with it every day and eventually it doesn't hurt less it just hurts less often." I say thinking back to the vampires lost like Sam or the pets I lost as a young child.
"Thank you Claire it helped. So on with the guest list?" Myrnin says lifting his head to be level with mine and I look down to the piece of paper and think of who would want to attend Myrnin's pet spider's funeral.
Who would want to say goodbye to Bob the spider…? No-one, really except Myrnin. It's not really unexpected Bob only met me, Oliver, Myrnin, Amelie and her body guards, though I'm sure they never really cared not that they really care about anyone except Myrnin. I could probably ask Eve, Shane and Michael to come as a favour…
"Ok, I think I've got a list. You should probably get some sleep; you know if you actually sleep, do you need anything else?" I rambled as a yawn threatened to come out. He shook his head, so I stood up and walked over to get my bag occasionally looking back. As I knelt down to pick up my bag, which was filled to the brim with weapons and books, over my shoulder I heard a small whisper coming from behind me as I began to turn around I felt a brief gasp of wind.
"Claire, please stay I don't want to be alone tonight." He pleaded with me a tear running down his face as he pulled the puppy dog face, which he knew I could almost never say no too. I turned around to give him a comforting hand on the shoulder rather awkwardly. I wasn't entirely sure I really wanted to stay alone with Myrnin in a Lab all night, but it was for a friend and I would do the same if it was Michael though I guess Michael probably wouldn't try to eat me however Myrnin hasn't tried it in a while... I haven't been this reckless in a long time but it was the right thing to do. The nagging part of my brain was just saying Shane will add this to the reasons why I think Claire is cheating on me, and god knows that he has a long list.
"Of course I will Myrnin, I personally don't want you to be alone tonight either, your not too stable at the moment. Plus what kind of friend would if I left you alone in a moment of venerability. " I said looking up into his eyes and giving him a shrug lifting my hand from his shoulder and wrapping it around him. "Just let me call my friends first, so they don't worry." I said letting go of him and walking to the corner text Michael.
Hey, Michael Bob the spider died and Myrnin's really unstable at the moment, so I'm going to stay here tonight. Tell everyone not to worry and Bob's funeral tomorrow at 1 so ask everyone to come. It's here. :(
This was quickly replied by Michel texting:
Are you sure Claire? I don't really think it's a good idea but you know best. Call me if you need any help and if you tries to eat you not be afraid to stake him unless its silver it won't kill him.
"I told Michael, he said its fine so what do you want to do?" I asked turning back to face Myrnin standing closely to me, maybe even a couple of inches apart, closer to me than I would of liked. I was kind of hopping not to have to stake him… He grinned.
Great! My eyes unexpectedly fixated on his lips, on how pale they were and how cold they looked and I found myself wanting to know what they felt like.
"Well Claire let's get started on some of the experiments I had planned for tomorrow." He said distracting me and pulling me over to the table in the manic way he usually did, which made me fall into a bunch of eccentric giggles.
Myrnin's POV – About 4 hours after – still night time / early morning.
I stood there looking down at her beautiful body and mind for almost an hour before I realised she was asleep peacefully at the desk. I just couldn't let her sleep out here, because she looked so uncomfortable, so I picked her up in my strong arms and carried her into the bedroom she slept in before as it still carries her fragrance, the pure essence of her the sweet, pure and vulnerable smell masked with a brave little solider with a gentle heart, all of that just from her smell. I gently looked at her as I lowered her into the bed gently; as I finished lifting her into the bed I placed a sweet and tender kiss on her forehead. I slowing stifled a yawn and gently lay down next to her and stroked the side of her face.
I had pure happiness in that moment.
I watched her for moments till I saw her shiver so I did what any man should do to the women he cared deeply about and moved closer and closer to her and as I did, my happiness increased as she wrapped her arm round my waist and rested her head on my chest. Though I knew it was unconsciously action it was still bliss and though she felt comfortable with him maybe there was hope left. I sat there watching her and fantasising about my little bird having feelings for me as I did her was absolutely absurd but you can't blame a man for trying to keep a fantasy. However hard I would hope that she would see and reciprocate the feelings I shared for her I could just picture the moments we would share, the two sciences together forever working together laughing, discovering cures, curing the poor and sick like I dreamed about doing as a small child when I was human. As I stayed there watching her sleep gently until the sun came up, waiting patiently to be staring deep into her beautiful brown eyes. What is to be off my little bird? Why would she really reject me or would she except my feelings? Even if she thought of me as only her psyco boss who had his mad moments would there be hope? Could there really be mornings where I would wake up and find my sweet Claire lying next to me willingly? Out of more than pity? As questions raced through my mind my little candle moved her arm away and continued to sleep again giving me the perfect opportunity to sneak off and do something I knew she would disapprove of…
