2. the count's soft spot
"Do I have too?" Cheers said and turned around to look in his mother's eyes, he made big puppy eyes. "No discussion, you can't come in punk cloth!" Seras hard refused.
Cheers sighed, he opened the door to his room caring a white shirt, some white pants and a red scarf. He walked into his room and throw the cloth on the bed, the bed was right under the window, you had to walk up some steps to lay in it.
Cheers took the shirt on with much conflicting with him self, finally he had took it on, he thought it scratched and he looked a bit too much like his father and far too adult.
He took the pants on with just as much conflicting, he could have screamed when he looked in the mirror. He looked like someone who worked at a hump hump bar, else he thought he looked like an angel on the beach, one of those guys who thought they were so cool but was geeky as hell.
Cheers sighed and tired the scarf around his neck, it made him look a bit more rock a like.
"Mom can't I wear black pants and a black shirt?" Cheers yelled.
"No! Cheers, your gonna come in white and that's it!" Seras yelled.
"It aren't a fucking wedding" Cheers mumbled, he made the scarf sit a bit messy.
He walked out of the room and got blinded by the blitz of a camera, when he began to see again he saw his mother standing with a camera in her hand and a big smile.
Cheers growled and walked down stairs.
His father and Pip was already ready.
His father had his usual cloth on, Pip had a white shirt that was a bit open with a black jacket over and black pants.
"Heey! Long time zince I zaw you like that" Pip said with a big smile while lighting a fag, Cheers rolled his eyes "great, and mom took a fucking picture of me" Cheers said.
"If you stop swearing and stop rolling your eyes , I'll burn the picture" Alucard said and walked over to Cheers to have a closer look at him.
His father crouched down in front of Cheers and began to tie the scarf just as his was, Cheers blushed... why did his father have to treat him like a kid?
Alucard got up.
"You have learn how to tie a scarf" he said.
"Yeah... just thought it was a bit more me to have it tied like that..." Cheers mumbled.
"Damn zhe taking her time..." Pip mumbled when Seras still was getting ready.
Alucard took a look at the clock.
"Love, hurry up!" Alucard yelled.
"Two minutes!" Seras screamed back.
Cheers sat down in the couch while scratching his neck.
"Got flees or something?" Alucard asked and gave Cheers a glare.
Cheers stopped scratching even though it was itching as hell.
Finally Seras walked down in a black dress.
"What happened to the white cloth!" Cheers screamed while pointing at Seras.
"I only sat YOU should wear white..." Seras said and smiled cutely.
"Why..." Cheers mumbled.
"Because you look so cute and angel a like" Seras said while pottering Cheers' hair, Cheers knew she just did that as a cover up from combing his hair.
"Mom... you have forced me into gay-ass cloth so please leave my hair alone!" Cheers growled, he felt how his anger was starting to build up! He was gonna snap sometime during the evening or let it out on a teacher when it became Monday.
Seras removed her hands but couldn't help her self from pinched Cheers' cheek.
Cheers felled like he would explode now!
"Come on guyz elze we're will be late" Pip said.
Alucard nodded.
A car sent by miss Integra to pick them up held out side the house, Alucard would probably had preferred to teleport but Cheers didn't care.
Alucard sat at the front seat with the driver, while Pip, Seras and Cheers sat at the back seat, Cheers sat in between Seras and Pip.
Cheers couldn't take his eyes of his mother, he wasn't use to see her look so... woman alike-
Seras had notice "what?" she asked with a smile.
Cheers blushed a bit "well... you just look so woman alike" Cheers said and scratched his back head.
Seras laugh "well, I'm not that un feminine, I wear a skirt" Seras said "yeah... but it's just... you got a short hair and such" Cheers said and made it sound soooo stupid.
Seras laughed "should I get as long hair as your father, or maybe as long as Pip's?" Seras said.
"No!" Cheers quickly answered with a bit of panic in "seriously, you can drown in it!" Cheers said with a bit of panic in his voice.
Pip began to laugh together with Seras, Cheers knew his dad was smiling, he just knew.
"I juzt came up with an idea.." Pip said with a smile.
"What idea?" Cheers curious asked while looking at Pip.
"Well, maybe you zhould come and hang out with uz when we are off duty, I thought of it before but then you were too young to ztay up that long" Pip said with a smile.
Cheers nodded "that would be awesome, what do you do when your are off duty?" Cheers asked with a smile.
"Well... what ever we wanna do, zometimes we play muzic other timez we juzt talk and such" Pip said.
"Play cards.." Pip added with a smile, he adored to play cards.. if he was good at it well... other would have to judge that.
"Sounds pretty much like what me and my friends do" Cheers said.
"Do you and your friends play music?" Alucard asked.
Seras seems very interesting in Cheers' answer.
Pip just smiled widely and then sucked on his fag.
"Damn!!! He's done it again!" Cheers thought, he knew Pip had tricked him to unveil that he played music.
"Yeah... a bit..." Cheers mumbled while blushing a bit.
Pip began to laugh "a bit? Damn you can block the garage for hourz!" Pip yelled while smiling.
Alucard looked at Cheers, his father instinct told him to ask Cheers about it.
"What kind of music do you play?" Alucard asked, Cheers got surprised over that question to Pip's big pleasure.
"Oh... rock, J-pop, heavy metal and such" Cheers answered while blinking, he couldn't believe his father actually was interested in him playing music.
"J-pop?" his father repeated.
"Well, it's pretty much Japanese music, you know pop and rock, such stuff" Cheers answered, he didn't really knew how to explain it, his dad probably thought of old-days Japanese music if he just had answered Japanese music.
"I'm not that old" his father said in an insulted tone.
"DAD! Stop reading my thoughts!" Cheers complained in his typical teenager voice.
"Well, next time you and your friends play can I hear?" Seras quickly asked to avoid a conflicted. Cheers didn't really knew what to answer, he knew his mother probably wouldn't like the songs since they had dark thoughts and many of them was written so they sounded like suicide letters.
"Well..." Cheers said and looked down in the ground, "I have to talk to the others first" Cheers answered, his mother nodded understanding. Cheers just didn't fell like he was ready to sing for anyone, well... he had sung a bit for Pip and Greybeard but... that was something different than your parents. Finally they arrived at the Hellsing organisation.
They walked into the room, but there was nearly no one.
"oh!" Walter said quite surprised and walked over to them.
Cheers didn't like that Walter was working, he was sick, he needed to rest.
"Are we too early?" Seras asked while looking around.
Walter nodded "the dinner starts in a half hour" Walter kindly said while bowing a bit.
Pip walked into the bar to have a beer, Seras helped Walter while Alucard went to see Integra.
Cheers sat down in the chair, he had no idea what to do, suddenly a light turned up in his eyes, he knew what to do!
He ran out of the great hall where it was planned the dinner would be held.
The dinner had began, people was just walking around with a glass in their hand talking, even the wild geese was dressed up as proper gentlemen.
Greybeard walking over to Pip.
"Have you seeing Cheers?" Greybeard nervously asked.
"No... why?" Pip asked looking at the rather worried Greybeard.
"I don't know... I just got a bad felling" he answered.
It was getting hot in the hall that was filled with people, Walter walked over and opened the door to the balcony.
Walter squeezed his eyes together, he saw he could see some people in the building. Walter shook his head.
"Your getting old" he mumbled and turned around and walked over to Miss Integra.
Integra got everyone's attention and started to keep a speak, it was more like a meeting than a party, suddenly someone jumped on the balcony from the other building.
The man got up yelling "YES! I did it! I'm a soldier!"
Integra looked like she would shoot the soldier right on the spot.
"What in the name of God are you doing here?!" she screamed.
The soldier got shocked when he found out he had jumped right into Integra's dinner.
"Oh... miss Integra, I'm sorry... I... I" the soldier said while doing salute, the sweat was running off him like waterfalls, you could probably had filled a couple of glass with it.
Integra just growled nearly biting her cigar over, the soldier ran out of the room as quickly as his legs could carrying him.
"Hmpf... humans..." Alucard said as he stood beside Integra.
Integra walked over in front of the entrance to the balcony but she didn't go out there.
"Who the hell is responsibly for this?!" Integra yelled.
Only a laugh she got as an answer.
"Hey guys, the one who dares to jump over their is getting a one way ticking into my division!" the one who had laughed yelled, a couple of soldiers tried to jump but failed, they didn't die but they got some bad injuries.
The man at the other site looked a bit disappointed around.
"No one else?" he asked.
A person with a black military mask over his face, you could only see his eyes, the person looked at the man as a sign of saying 'I wanna give it a go'.
The man nodded and the person began to run.
He jumped, the person nearly bumped into Integra when he landed at the other site.
People in the other building began to make an applause, it was clear the person who had jumped was happy.
"Hey You! Remove your mask!" the man yelled while pointing over at him.
"Why... .I succeed... " the person mumbled.
"Do as your told, Soldier!" the man yelled again.
"Yes sir..." the person mumbled back and pulled the mask away.
People in the room got shocked, it was Cheers. The one people said would never make it over... because he was to short, because he was a trash vampire in their eyes.
People in the other building got just as shocked.
"Hey, it's that vampire thing!" one of them said nervously.
"I got a name!" Cheers yelled.
"He probably cheated..." one said, other began to nodded "yeah... vampire magic or something.." one said, "yeah! That's was why he was wearing a mask!" another said and got happy because then they hadn't being beaten by a child.
The man was clearly mad over being tricked by a long fang.
"Aren't you gonna say 'welcome to my division'" Cheers teased.
That clearly made the man's blood boil from pure madness.
Cheers just laughed.
"Shut up Vampire!! I don't need a soldier who lives of his mother's and father's reputation!" the man yelled.
Cheers got mad "what? That's a filthy lie! My mom or my dad didn't care me over did they?" Cheers growled, he was tired of everyone constantly seeing him as 'the no-life king's son' or 'Alucard's child'.
The man kept quite for some time "shut up! It was just luck you made it over!" the man yelled.
Cheers felled like he would explode and at the same time he felt so little, so hopeless. No one believed he made over by pure skill..
Cheers walked a bit back.
His mother starred at him, she didn't had time to react.
His father was sitting on his chair looking over his shoulder looking like he really didn't care, "damn you child... knock it off before you get hurt!" Alucard thought and felled the sweat running down of his face.
Greybeard looked at him surprised.
"Heeey Cheers, you made it!" Pip said with a smile after his heart had starting stopping beating so fast.
Cheers ignored Pip and began to run.
"Stop!" Alucard yelled, but too late Cheers had already made a giant leap.
Greybeard had tried to stop him but it didn't succeed.
Alucard could fell his heart stop for a moment, small flash's of Cheers' life and his life crossed his mind, Seras that was pregnant, when he saw his newborn son, when Cheers took his first steps, when he said his first words, when he began in school, when he had found his son asleep over his homework, all that passed Alucard's inner eye.
Alucard sighed of relieve when Cheers succeed, the soldier just stood starring at each other waiting for someone to react.
Pip walked out on the balcony and stood at the edge starring at Cheers with his mouth wide open. "GET BACK! NOW! Your in troubles!" Alucard yelled whiled slamming his hand in the table so the plates took a dance with each other.
The man was just about to open his mouth.
"nice playing with ya, but gotta go now" Cheers said and winked, it felt SO good to rub this in their faces.
He asked one of the soldiers to move.
"Sure..." the soldier said shocked and moved.
Cheers jumped, again Alucard's heart stopped.
Alucard heard a bump and looked over his shoulder and notice Seras was fainted.
Alucard bend down and held Seras' hand, he gentle touched her cheek.
Cheers was getting close to the balcony, he felled the fresh evening air in his golden hair, he closed his eyes just to enjoy the moment, he suddenly felled a hard wind making him lose height, his eyes grey wide... he wasn't gonna make it over!
Cheers could nearly touch the balcony, he reached out for something, and got a hold of Pip's braid, tears began to ran out of Pip's eye when Cheers was hanging in his braid.
Cheers began to crawl up while Pip tried not to scream.
Cheers finally got up and sighed of relieve when he sat on the safe ground.
"That's enough jumping for today" Cheers thought.
"It indeed is" Alucard said and got up on his feet when he notice Seras was beginning to wake up.
"God damn you!" Pip screamed with tears in his eyes while waving his braid in front of Cheers.
"Do you got any idea of how long it took to make it thiz long????!" Pip yelled felling like he was about to explode.
Cheers scratched his head trying to look sweet in the hope Pip would forgive him.
"YOU JUZT KNOCK THAT OFF!!! Maybe it workz on your parentz but not on me!" Pip screamed while pointing on Cheers, Cheers made big puppy eyes.
"You aren't mad at me? Are you uncle Pip?" Cheers said trying to sound small and innocent, Pip took a big sigh and tried to ignore Cheers, Pip hugged Cheers tightly.
"Noooo!! Uncle Pip aren't mad at little Cheers" Pip said sounded like he talked to a five year old child. Cheers sweatdropped.
Seras sat up.
"M-master... please tell me I didn't lose my only child?" Seras said looking scared.
Alucard shook his head.
Alucard walked over to Cheers and grabbed his arm.
"Damn you!! Why did you have to jump! What would have happened if you haven't grabbed Pip's braid??" he yelled, Cheers made him scared for a moment... Alucard disliked the felling of being scared, of not being in control of things.
"OUCH!! That hurts! Dad let go!" Cheers screamed as his father lifted him a bit of the ground still having a hard grip in his arm.
"Not until I get an answer and it better be good!" Alucard yelled, Cheers could fell his nerves screaming 'pain!!' he tried not to show how much it hurt but he didn't think his dad realized how hard the grip was. Cheers couldn't hold the pain in much longer, a tear pushed it's way out of his eye, his father's eyes grew wide when he saw the tear and immediately released Cheers, Cheers felled down on the ground.
"It wasn't that hard..." his father mumbled with his back on Cheers to hide he was a bit a ashamed, he never wanted to hurt his little boy, not so he would cry because of it...
Cheers smiled nervous.
"Well... is a bit... sore..." Cheers said.
Alucard turned around "why?" he asked.
"Oh... well... just..." Cheers said with a smile to cover up his lie.
"Just what?" his father asked and walked closer.
"Well... we played soccer and I by accident tripped" Cheers lied, his father looked Cheers deep into his eyes.
"Your lying" Alucard said in an annoyed tone, he hated when his son was lying to him.
Cheers blushed and looked away.
"It's nothing" he mumbled.
"If it's nothing then you shouldn't have anything against your father taking a look at it" Alucard said took a deep into Cheers' eyes.
"Guess not..." Cheers mumbled. Alucard carefully rolled Cheers' sleeve to unveil lots of blue marks on his arm.
"Who gave you these?" Alucard yelled fiercely while grabbing Cheers' shirt front.
"DAD let go!" Cheers screamed.
"Not until you spit out who did this!" Alucard screamed and dragged Cheers closer.
"Dad knock it off! There is anyway nothing to do about it, if you go talk with someone It'll just become worse, believe me!" Cheers screamed and closed his eye in pain.
Alucard released him and Cheers landed with a bump on the floor, everyone is the room looked at the two vampires, Seras kept a bit in the background, this was between father and son.
"Dad... let's talk about this another time?" Cheers said and rubbed his arm in pain, his father nodded. People began to talk again and Cheers walked a bit around from group to group of people standing with a glass of champagne while talking about boring grown up stuff, why didn't any of them discuss rock music? Cheers wondered while walking a bit around.
He walked out of the balcony to take some fresh air.
Greybeard walked out to him "hi gosling" Greybeard said.
Cheers blushed when Greybeard walked over to him.
"Are you mad at me?" Cheers asked after a couple of minutes silence, Cheers looked down in the garden, he didn't fell like looking Greybeard into the eyes.
Greybeard shook his head.
"I aren't mad at you mad at you but I'm not proud of you either" Greybeard said and looked up at the stars.
"Sorry... I just got tired of... well..." Cheers said and didn't knew how to say, Greybeard looked at him with a look saying 'I'm listing and just take all the time you need'.
Cheers sighed.
"Well... this is like a second home to me, and people are really nice they really are... but... when I have grown older then... well... when I was younger I understood my parents didn't wanted me on any mission but it's just..." Cheers ended with a sigh and looked down from the balcony, he looked up "I aren't little anymore... my parents don't think I can do it but I know I can... I know!" Cheers said with a desperate voice.
Greybeard smiled and laughed.
"What?" Cheers asked and wondered what were so funny.
"My dear sweet innocent Cheers!" Greybeard said while laughing "you just opened your eyes my dear boy" Greybeard laughed.
Cheers looked confused "wha-?" he said "what do you mean by that...??" he asked and sounded a bit grumpy.
Greybeard put a hand on Cheers' head and ruffled his hair.
"Your a child, you have nearly just discovered the world, children don't belongs in war.." Greybeard said with a tendered smile.
Cheers looked down in the ground, "I aren't a child" he mumbled.
"HEY VAMPIRE!" interrupted their conversation, Cheers looked down from the balcony and saw the man, he had short dark brown hair and was wearing a uniform.
"Damn him..." Greybeard said and lit a fag.
Cheers knew the man, he had being teasing him and being mean to him ever since Cheers sat his foot into the Hellsing manor.
"If you think anyone is gonna be crazy enough let them into their division? Let's face facts vampire, you don't belong here! We fight vampires, we don't fight with them!" The man yelled.
"Shut the fuck up, lieutenant! Or I'll beat the crap out of you!" Greybeard yelled turning all red from anger, maybe Greybeard was an old man but he still had a sense of justice, and he wouldn't let ANYONE judge Cheers without they had a fair prove of their believes of him.
"If you got something to say then say it now while you apparently is drunk enough" Cheers said with a calm tone.
"What?!" Greybeard surprise said quickly turning his head to look at the calm Cheers.
"Just go sit down, I'll take care of this" Cheers said with his cheerful smile that he often gave people when he wanted them to not to worry about him.
Greybeard nodded and sat down between the guests who had already sat down, Greybeard didn't like that Cheers had to face the lieutenant all by him self, he were to small and young.
"Had something to say?" Cheers asked in a relaxed tone, the lieutenant turned quite when he was asked that question.
"Yeah!" he yelled after some time, Cheers nodded, he had lend on to the balcony's rail with his arms up on the rails looking completely relaxed.
"Your a stinky, fucked up, idiotic, stupid, ridiculous, brain less" the lieutenant started to yell, Cheers just nodded with a smile.
"Annoying, rude, swearing, cursing, ill-mannered, wrong overturn of a vampire!" Cheers happily yelled with a smile.
The lieutenant turned all quite.
Pip started to laugh he lend over to Greybeard "hey, maybe he got a heart attack" Pip said and began to laugh, Greybeard nodded while smiling.
"Damn... we ended up doing a good job at the raizing part" Pip proud said with a smile, he lend back in the chair while lighting a fag.
The other wild geese began to nodded and agree "yeah, we did pretty good" some of them said to each other.
Alucard growled and made the wild geese jumped a few meters up in the air.
"But-but-but of courze hiz parentz getz a lot of the credit" Pip nervously said and lit another fag to keep the nerves down.
The lieutenant starred up at Cheers.
"Hey lieutenant, with all that shouting you must be thirsty, just wait a minute" Cheers said and walked over to the table and took a bottle of wine.
The lieutenant just looked up at Cheers not knowing what to say or do.
"Here you go" Cheers said and held the bottle over the balcony railing and turned it upside down.
The lieutenant turned all red when he got covered up in red wine.
"Damn you! Your fucking son of a bitch, you just wait!! You and your family are dead!! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you and send your body parts back to your parents!!" the lieutenant yelled with a raised fist.
Cheers yawned.
"booooooring" he thought, like he hadn't heard worse death treats than that.
Alucard got up, he wouldn't put up in his family getting insulting in that way.
Cheers pushed one of the big plants standing on the balcony railing and made it fall down, he heard the loud crack when it landed.
"What the fuck would you have done if it had hit me?" the lieutenant screamed as he just managed to jump away before the plant hit the ground.
"Held a party" Cheers answered.
The lieutenant turned quite.
"You just wait" the lieutenant growled while scowling up at Cheers.
"NO! You just wait! You got no idea of who you had put up against! I am the fucking teen from hell!" Cheers yelled.
"knew I was gonna snap.." Cheers thought and in his inner he shrugged.
The lieutenant turned quite and turned around.
"Hey! What about I sing a lullaby for you?" Cheers yelled after the lieutenant.
The lieutenant turned around looking with a weird look at Cheers.
Cheers began to sing and the night turned into his heavy metal band like God or the devil had decided to back him up in this case...
"For everything you do
I'd like to swallow you
And everyday I'm gonna blame you
Even if you justify
Every fucking bullshit lie
It only makes me want to break you
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'
'Cause I fucking hate you
You're such a liar
And I love to hate you
You're all the same to me" Cheers yelled down to the lieutenant.
The lieutenant clearly got insulted and walked away.
The wild geese began to laugh loudly, slapping each other on the shoulder, God! They always wanted to sing that song to the lieutenant.
"Hey, what's wrong what another one? What about an anti-Christian one?" Cheers said in a mocking tone.
The lieutenant didn't answered but kept walking away, he was gonna get Cheers.. when they're were less people around.. especially when his father weren't around.
"That shut his mouth" Cheers said and snorted.
Cheers sat down, it was first now he could fell how hungry he was.
"Is that the music you play?" Seras asked through gritted teeth, she seemed quite tensed-
Cheers got an embarrassing smile on his face.
"Yeah..." he said with the same embarrassing smile and blush on his face.
"You can be arrested for death threads..." Seras said and switched the tensed look out with the mother-look.
"Mom... it's just a song" Cheers mumbled.
Seras sighed and shook her head "that boy" she mumbled.
Cheers took a look at Greybeard "sorry, it probably aren't you taste of music" Cheers said while embarrassing rubbing the back of his head.
Greybeard laughed "do I look THAT old?" he asked while tears began to build in his eyes because of laughing.
Cheers turned all red, he never meant to insult Greybeard with his age.
"No..." Cheers mumbled and looked down in the floor to hide his was blushing.
"I was into heavy from the beginning!" Greybeard proud announced.
Cheers quickly looked up with his eyes sparkly of happiness.
"Cool!" he said, he didn't knew Greybeard liked heavy and rock.
"Rock music just rocks, much better than all that shitty MTV music shit" Greybeard proud said and lit a fag.
Cheers got up from his chair and slammed his hand to the table.
"Yeah, Britney Spears and so on are goddamn hors!" Cheers yelled, Alucard grabbed Cheers' ear and pulled him down.
"Sorry, sorry!" Cheers out cried while closing one of his eyes in pain, Alucard released him with a growl saying 'restrain you self!'.
Cheers sat and rubbed his ear "damn, this must be the shittiest week of my life" Cheers mumbled.
Seras heard that and embraced Cheers.
"AWWW! Sweetie, don't be sad" Seras said and hugged Cheers tightly into her chest "mom, get those boobs off my face!!!" Cheers madly thought.
"Mom... release right now or I'll have to hurt you" Cheers mumbled, Seras ignored him.
Cheers looked up at the clock.
"How much longer can this hug last??????" Cheers mumbled with a cry baby face.
"I wouldn't mind zwitching placez with you" Pip said with a pervert smile.
Seras quickly got off Cheers.
"You goddamn pervert captain!" she yelled and raised her fit.
Alucard took a bag of blood and started to drink it such as a human would drink beer for a football match.
Walter walked into the room.
"Oh Cheers, just guess what I saw out side the door?" Walter asked.
"No, what?" Cheers asked while blinking his red eyes and doing his best to ignore the sound of items crashing against the wall.
"The big abstract painting" Walter said with a smile.
Cheers smiled.
"Cool, always loved that picture" Cheers said and nodded.
"When you were a baby you could just put you in front of that painting and you would stare at it for hours" Walter said and smiled as he recalled little Cheers sitting in front of the painting starring up at it.
Cheers nodded.
"Even as a kid I had great artistic talents" Cheers said and made it sound like he was being interviewed. Walter smiled, a woman came into the room carrying a tray of food and drinks, she wasn't so big and was fat.
She had brown hair that was tight up with a hair net over, she had pushed the door open with her back, she turned around and nearly dropped the tray when she saw Cheers all dressed in white, she began to laugh and walked over to Cheers.
"Oh my God! Is that you?" she said and took a closer look at the cloth.
"Behind all this white cloth... I'm a afraid so..." Cheers said and sighed.
"Well, we can't have that can we?" the woman said and winked.
Cheers blinked confusing a couple of times "eh?" he said.
The woman pulled a small bottle of theatre blood up from her pocket and put a small line running down from Cheers' mouth, she took a riveter leather wristband, she took it around Cheers' wrist.
Cheers smiled "thanks, it actually does make me fell more comfortable" Cheers said while looking at the wrist band.
"Then I guess your the white punk tonight?" the woman said and winked and began server the dinner. Cheers looked a down at his bowl with blood, he was defiantly not in the mood for blood, he sat beside his father who was busy drinking blood, Cheers lend over to his father.
"Want mine bowl?" Cheers asked, his father got surprised and looked at Cheers.
"Why do you ask?" he asked with a serious look. Cheers looked down at the table "I just aren't hungry" Cheers lied, he could hear his stomach scream 'for God sake! You motherfucking idiot! Eat that goddamn blood' Cheers just crumbled a bit together.
His father lend close to his ear, Cheers could fell his warm breath.
"You stomach says otherwise" he whispered.
Cheers sighed, he ate the blood even thought it felled like eating pins, he really wasn't in the mood... who knew maybe it weren't medical blood maybe it was from someone that someone had killed?
The dinner was finally over.
Cheers sat down on a chair drinking massive amounts of water to get the fowl taste of the blood out of his mouth.
"Hi honey, were you thirsty?" his mother asked with a smile and sat down beside her son, Cheers lend a big forward.
"Yeah... was just in the mood for water..." Cheers mumbled, Seras put her hand on Cheers back and carefully stroking it.
"Your father said you offered him your blood even through you were hungry, why?" Seras asked a bit nervous.
"No reason..." Cheers mumbled.
"Okay, you keep your teen secrets but if you need help come to me or your father" Seras said and winked, she smiled at him.
Cheers smiled and lend backwards looking into his mother's blue eyes, he would give anything to have normal eyes.
"I will mom, don't worry" Cheers assured his mother.
"Good lad" she said and got up.
When Seras was out of sight Cheers sighed.
"Damn..." he mumbled, why did his life had to be so complicated? Everyday he had to lie to the world, lie to his parents, every time the asked 'how are you?' he always answered 'fine' but what he really wanted to say was no...
'no, I need you to help me out'
Seras, Alucard, Pip, Greaybeard weren't among the guests right now, Integra and Walter were also no where to be seeing, they were probably having some weird meting.
Cheers walked into a room where there were no one, he sat down in the couch, it was so soft and warm, he decided to lay down in it, just to close his eyes for a few minutes.
He yawned, he could fell how tired he was, he couldn't wait till it became weekend again.
He closed his eyes and felled a sleep.
Alucard walked from room to room, he looked around in the dark room.
"Cheers!" he yelled.
He heard a sleeping mumbling which came from the couch, he lend over the couch and found his son a sleep.
Alucard grinned, he carefully stroke Cheers' hair.
Cheers liked it and got a big smile on his face, Alucard notice Cheers' sharp fangs, it made his grin grow wider.
Cheers had his fangs from Alucard, no doubt about it, Alucard felled the anger over children bullying Cheers with his fangs entering his mind.
Alucard was proud over his son having his fangs.
Alucard lend close to Cheers "I like your fangs" he whispered and kissed Cheers on the cheek as he had done when Cheers was a small child, he was still a child in Alucard's eyes he had just grown a bit bigger...
Alucard carefully wrapped Cheers into a blanket and carefully lifting him up from the couch, Alucard walked out side with Cheers laying safe fully in his arms.
Seras looked at her sleeping son and couldn't help her self from saying "awwww".
Pip looked at the sleeping Cheers and smiled.
Alucard teleported home, he carefully carried him up stares and laid him in his bed, he pulled the quilt over Cheers and tucking him in making sure he was warm, .
Alucard sat squat in front of the bed looking at his sleeping son, he carefully stroke Cheers cheek, Cheers peacefully slept, even if he was being tucked in by a monster...
Alucard smiled, it was funny for once not to be yelled at. Alucard sighed, who knew how long Cheers would be here with him? When he would move away.
Alucard got up on his feet and walked down stairs quietly closing the door behind him.
Cheers jumped out of the bed by the sound of his mother yelling "Cheers! Cheers! Get up or you'll be late" he ran down stairs, swallow his breakfast.
He notice his mother had being looking at him all morning while smiling and giggling.
Cheers began to think carefully why would she giggle?
His eyes went wide open.
"Shit! I felt a sleep!" he thought, he knew his father had carried him home while tucking him into bed like he would have done when he was five.
Cheers ran out on the bathroom and got washed, he meet a tired looking Pip.
"Hi" Cheers said as he rushed past him, Pip mumbled something and went over and grabbed a beer and smoked a cigarette.
Cheers shook his head, it was so typically Pip to start of his day that way.
Cheers had taking his usual punk cloth on, a T-shirt with a rebellious message on, some tight black jeans with pins in and a long chain in his riveted belt.
Cheers stood in the living room packing the books he needed, Alucard walked over to him.
"Good morning" he said and put a hand on Cheers head while ruffling his hair.
Cheers got annoyed, when would his father learn he was 16!!
Cheers got a grumpy look on his face and madly packed his bag.
"After school your going straight to the Hellsing manor" Alucard said with a grin.
Cheers looked at his father.
"Sure, sure" he mumbled and got the bag on his back.
"See ya!" Cheers yelled and opened the door.
"Oh... honey, sure, you don't need a jacket?" Seras nervous asked looking at Cheers just wearing black pants and a T-shirt and the weather wasn't too good, the sky was grey and it was raining a bit.
"No, mom I don't need a jacket" Cheers answered and grabbed the door handle, why did she fell like she needed to tell him what to do? He was big enough to decide whether he needed a jacket or not.
"You'll caught a cold!" Seras complained.
Cheers sighed "don't worry got a jacket in the bag" Cheers lied.
Cheers slammed the door before Seras could say anything, he began to walk down towards the bus stop, "god! I hate busses" Cheers thought with a tired look on the face.
He heard the sound of a motor cycle and turned around, it was Pip.
"Hi vampie!" he said with a smile.
"That beer sure did wake him up" Cheers thought.
Pip grabbed a fag "you didn't think I waz gonna let you take the buz did ya?" Pip said with a smile. Cheers smiled and got up on the motor cycle.
He clanged tight on to Pip.
"Hang on" Pip said and speeded up, again Cheers felled the whirl in his stomach that made him smile. He felt the fresh air against his pale skin, the air playing with his air. He tighten the grip around Pip, he smiled, everything felled great for once he forgot the stupid teachers, his non-understanding parents, girl problems all that stuff was just gone.
"Now we're here" Pip said and Cheers could fell how the motor cycle slowed down, he sighed, here he was... standing to the entrance of hell.
He really wanted to say he had a stomach pain and ask Pip to drive him home... but he wouldn't fall for that.
"See ya" Cheers said and forced a smile on his lips.
"See yaaa" Pip said with a smile and drove away.
When Pip was out of sight Cheers sighed.
He began to walk towards the tall grey building, he really hated school... everyone was after him, he had to lie everyday to his friends, he just wanted to run home but then he had to explain everything to his father or his mother who would tell him how important education is.
The building came closer and closer, for every step Cheers took he really could fell a stomach pain, he heard a whisper and looked over his should, it was too girls, you know the kind who wear fashion right cloth etc.
"Really? I heard he keeps rats and spiders as pets" one of the girl whispered.
"He probably eats them for lunch" the other whispered back, they began to mocking giggle.
"Hey, hey, heard this that his father drink blood" the girl said, their voice had became clear "ew! Disgusting" the girl said.
Cheers got mad, how dared they speak of his father that way? His father! The father who had being with him his entire life, yeah sure he could be an asshole but he was still his father! Cheers really wanted to yell at them but then remembered his mother's words...
'Cheers, you should turn around and ignore them! Your just as bad as them when you say stuff like that' Cheers tighten his fist.
Alright! For his mother's sake he would ignore them.
Cheers entered the classroom, nearly no one there, he looked up at the clock, it was 7:55.
Cheers shrugged he might as well sit down.
Cheers dragged his chair out and sat down, he sat in the middle of the class, yeah, just in the middle. There were three lines of tables in the classroom, Cheers sat on the second in the middle.
He looked down in the table 'fuck you, punk' was writing in the table, it had being tried to be removed with a easer but you could still read it, Cheers sighed.
He just wanted peace, now that he didn't had that at home any more, he lend back in the chair and looked up in the sealing just as he use to do when he was home.
He hoped his friends soon would turn up, he would hate if some of his enemies turned up before they did.
At last someone did enter the classroom.
A boy with orange hair, he had blue eyes just as Seras, he wore dark blue jeans, they were a bit dirty and had holes on the knees. He had a black T-shirt on saying: 'I'm the king' with a crown under the text. "Hi" the boy happily said while lifting his hand, Cheers smiled "hi Chaashi" he said.
"Finally a bit light in the dark school time" Cheers thought.
Chaashi sat beside Cheers it wasn't his place, a boy called Smash sat next to Cheers.
"What's up?" Chaashi asked.
"Love told that you got grounded" the boy said, he had pity in his blue eyes.
Cheers felled the anger raise up in him.
"Yeah!" Cheers said.
"No friends, no party, no music and I have to go to bed 8 o'clock!" Cheers complained, Chaashi's skin who normally was a bit brown had turned all pale, just as pale as Cheers' skin.
"Jesus! Your father sure is an asshole" Chaashi said and was still in a state of chook.
Cheers nodded, right now he just wanted to run home and punch his father in the face... or maybe paint his coffin pink? Or sell his underwear on Ebay? Cheers' head was exploding with ideas that his father would murder him for carrying out.
The other pupils began to walk into the classroom, a girl with long blond hair and grey blue eyes walked into the classroom, she saw Cheers and Chaashi and started to wave.
"Hiiii!" she screamed.
In one leap she jumped over to Cheers and Chaashi, she kissed down on the cheeks and hugged them. "Hi Love" Chaashi said and hugged Love, Cheers smiled when Love's face ended up with an weird expression when Chaashi put his head between her boobs as a cover up for a hug, Cheers laughed a bit, he couldn't help it but Love reminded him so much of his mother.
Rest of the class came into the class, the class started... it was math, the thing Cheers wasn't in the mood for.
The math teacher sent Cheers a hateful look that Cheers sent back to her right away.
The lesson started, Cheers rested his hand on his hand, he looked out of the window... he would chew of his left leg to run out side.
The teacher started to talk and write stuff on the black board, Cheers wasn't paying attention. He got bored of looking out side of the window.
He looked out in the class... and notice Love, he looked at her back head for a long time with a smile on his face, he shook his head when he notice that ... no! No! He weren't in love! Defiantly not!
Finally, after lots of lessons with boring talk and a too short recess it became lunch time.
Cheers walked outside the schoolyard, it was boring... yeah, sure it was fun when you were little to hang out here you know had swings but when you were 16 it was boring!
Cheers walked into the back of the school yard, no one was there.
It was cold because of the long shades, he remembered how scared everyone had being to go down here when they were in 1 grade but now it was cool, a place to have peace.
He sat at the garbage cans that were covered with a tree wall, it looked better to cover the garbage cans but the tree wall were rotten and smelled, the garbage smelled but it didn't bother Cheers at all.
He heard footstep coming running towards hum, he looked around, it was Chaashi and Love, together with a black haired girl, she had lose black close on with a silver cross hanging in a long chain, the cross weren't looking like normal cross it had spikes on it.
"Yo!" she said with her hands deep buried in the pocket's of her black jacket.
"Hiya sweetie!" Love quickly said and embraced her, the girl nearly dropped the fag she had wanted to lit, Cheers nervously laughed when the girl tried to get Love off.
"UUH lesbian sex" Chaashi whispered, Cheers turned all red, Chaashi laughed, Cheers quickly got a hold of his thought and got his normal skin colour back.
The girl finally got Love of her, the girl was breathing heavily and had turn all red from anger, Love giggled.
"You look kawaii today Nitro-chan!" Love giggled.
The girl breath heavily looking quite shocked over that greeting.
"Shu-shut up, cunt!" she gasped.
"Come on Nitro-glycerine! She just said hello to ya..." Chaashi said with his hands on his hips in a girlish way.
Nitro-glycerine mumbling lighting a fag.
Cheers laughed a bit, the four of them were a funny pair.
Chaashi - the playboy
Love - the hyper girl who loved everyone.
And Nitro-glycerine... everyone just called her Nitro normally, they only said the entire word when ever they needed to tell her off.
Cheers began to think.. he actually did knew her real name... she never told them what her real name was.
She just said 'shut the fuck up! I hate my name, end of story'
Cheers tapped a finger to his chin and looked up in the sky, it would probably rain.
He began to think...
"I bet her name is pretty..." he thought.
Heavy footsteps could be heard, they walked quite slow.
Cheers looked around.
"Whaddi up?" he asked in a big of nervous voice, he was starting to get more and more nerves on when ever he went to school.
A quick pain rushed threw his left shoulder, Cheers put a hand onto his shoulder and squeezed it a bit, like he was trying to make it stop bleeding.
Chaashi sighed as he saw that.
"Yo! Smash is that ya?" he yelled.
A big fellow walked out of the shade, nearly 2 meters.
He had an American Football T-shirt on, you could clearly see his muscles.
"Hello..." he said in a deep voice.
Cheers sighed and relaxed, his head dropped...how stupid of him... it was just Smash, he couldn't hurt a fly even if his life depended on it.
"Whaddi up..." Cheers said again looking up at Smash, sweat was still running down of his face.
Smash smiled and teasing patted Cheers head.
"Whaddi up Rebel.." he said smiling.
One side of Cheers' mouth twitched upwards in a smile.
Smash smiled.
Cheers was about to say something but a loud rumbled interrupted him.
He looked around.
"What was that?" he asked.
Chasshi blushed and held a hand on his stomach.
"Hehe.. me... I'm hungry..." Chaashi said.
Cheers smiled "kay! I'll get some food..." he said.
They all gave him some money so they would split the bill of two pizzas.
Cheers walked down the street towards their usual place to buy lunch.
Cheers got in and ordered and got the pizzas, he sniffled to them.
God! He knew how heaven smelled like now!
He turned around a corner, his eyes grew wide and he jumped back behind the corner pushing his back towards the cold and itchy wall.
Cheers peaked out from behind the wall, yes! No doubt it was them!
Butch and his gang.
There must have being about 5 or 6 six tall and strong boys sitting on some trashcans sharing fags, talking girls and what they wanted to do to Cheers when they found him.
Cheers gulped.
"Why God? Why? It's unfair I always have to run into them..." he thought.
He again peaked out from the wall.
No it sadly enough weren't a dream, there they were.
He sighed and felt so ashamed, he was a vampire and still he was scared of Butch who was just an ordinary human.
He felt the pain of last weeks beating coming back, how much it had hurt when they had held him down and kicked him, hurt him, spit on him... told him things he didn't wanted to hear..
How they fucked his ex-girlfriend ever night.
That his father must be ashamed of having such a whimp as a son.
A tear forced it's way out of his eye.
".. yeah.. dad must be ashamed of me... he's always strong, never afraid of anything... I'm.."
Cheers felt so weak in the knees.
He gulped.
"Kay... I'm gonna do it..." he thought, he turned around.
"Hey! You there! Get lost! I don't want any troubles!" an angry man said and chased Butch and the others away with a broom.
Cheers stood still as he turned the corner, he was shocked... he was saved!
He wanted to run over to the man and embrace him and thanks him.
Cheers pulled him self together and went back to the schoolyard to his friends, they started to eat.
"So your parents still won't let you go to boxing?" Chaashi asked Nitro with his mouth filled with pizza.
Nitro said while chewing on a slice of pizza filled with the melted cheese.
Cheers was so quite... normally he was the first to start a conversation.. or tell a dirty joke he had heard from Pip.. but no, today he was quite.
Love concerned looked at him, she put a hand on his back and stroke his back like his mother had done.
Cheers sighed, it was nice.. he felt a bit more safe now.
"What's the matter, Rebel?" she asked worried.
Cheers sighed, then got a hold of his emotions and looked up at her with a fake smile.
"Nothing... everything is fine" he said smiling.
Love blinked a bit, she felt like he was lying but again.. she wouldn't be rude and accuse him for lying.
"Okay... if you say so.." she said and went back to eating.
The old bell sounded over the boring schoolyard.
For a short second Cheers could he swear the bell rang: 'back to hell, suckers!'
Cheers sighed and got up, he dusts him self off and walked towards the door.
He really felt sick, but luckily enough he only had 5 lessons today.
He sat at his chair, being bored out of hell.
His religion teacher walked in, Cheers really hated that dude.
His religion teacher was also his form master.. Cheers felt like killing him self when he heard that his religion teacher would become his form master.
He use to have a really sweet English teacher as his form master, she was so carrying and nice to everyone.
Cheers really felt like if he told her something and told her not to tell anyone she wouldn't tell anyone, and her advises were useful, not just the usual shit where they just nodded saying 'I know how you fell' cause they didn't, they could take that therapist shit and shove it up their asses.
Cheers' hands tighten.
The religion teacher who had the nickname Satan started to read.
"Well children tomorrow we're going for a four day long camp..." he said in his aristocratic voice.
Cheers felt how the sweat began to run down his forehead, he really felt like he was going to throw his insides up.
"shit!" he thought.
He had forgot everything about that stupid camp, four days trapped out in a wood with people you hate!
Cheers sighed, he looked at his friends.
All of them had found ways to skip the shit.
Cheers looked down at his tighten fists, what should he do? Should he beg his parents to let him stay home? Stay at a friend's house?
The thoughts were panic running around in his head, he just wanted to get home NOW!
Finally the bell sounded, for once Cheers felt like this lesson passed quickly.
He rushed out of the class room without even saying goodbye, he ran over to the bus stop and luckily enough the bus showed up on time.
Cheers sighed as he sat down, now.. he was gone from that horrible place.
He got off and walked the few minutes before he could see the hellsing manor.
He walked towards it with a bit of mixed feelings... he was happy to be home but he weren't happy to meet Integra and get told off.
Cheers got passed the guards for once without troubles, it was probably because it was Jilly and Donut who was on guard, they were from the wild geese and bloody nice.
Cheers walked down the long corridors and into 'his' room.
Sometimes Cheers nearly lived here, he didn't really knew why.. it was easier with mommy and daddy's work...
He sat at the dirty bed, it had been long since he had been here.
He sighed, he took his old MP3 out of the drawer.
He put the headphones into his ears and by accident pushed play.
Souls in the wind If we hold on together
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
A tear pushed out of his eyes.
His mother use to sing that song to him as a lullaby...
He grabbed his school bag he careless had thrown over in a corner.
He began to dug in after that note with the camp trip.
He sighed as he found it.
He needed a guardians signature... also if he couldn't come along on the trip.
Cheers laid down in his bed, he just wanted to sleep right now... forget everything... flee to a place that was nice...
