As a suggestion from a lovely reviewer, I've decided to make these one-shots between Rose and Dimitri and Rose/Adrian. Give it a bit of variety ;) Hope you enjoy this little Adrian/Rose. Type- Two shot. -
Set- Spirit Bound.
Characters- Rose H. and Adrian I.
Rating- T, bordering on M.
He was too good for me. I knew that, but why couldn't I stop thinking about him? His eyes, the beautiful green that surrounded his depthless pupils.
That serious edge to his voice when talking about me… As if he would jump in front of a Strigoi to save me. I never wanted to tell him that was my job, but I know he knew.
Then again the seriousness was comforting, but the cocky way he talked… He gave me shivers.
His carefree look on the world was something I wished I possessed, but due to my upbringing I relied on him to help me be carefree, even if it was dangerous…
"Rose!" The calling of my name pulled me out of my own thoughts. When I turned to the
sound, who I saw brought a bright smile to my face. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
"Hey Adrian, I was starting to miss my favourite chain-smoker today. Where have you been?" My voice wasn't accusatory- thank god, he could do what he wanted- but it did sound very curious. His face fell into a faux frown, and he reached for me from the foot away that he was, pulling me against his chest. I heaved in a heavy breath, taking in his unique scent that always made me dizzy enough to fall. I didn't like that, I felt weak. And didn't he know it.
Grinning devilishly, he slid his hand from my back around to my waist, lower until he met the hem of my t-shirt. Carefully, slowly, he hooked a finger under its edge and caressed the skin of my hip. That simple touch sent a shiver down my body, and groaning quietly I rested my chin on Adrian's chest, looking up at him with a little pout.
"Why are you such a tease?" He was still tracing tantalizing circle's on my hip. Once I'd managed to form a coherent thought, I remembered he hadn't answered me.
"Hey! Are you doing this," I gestured to where his hand was resting on my skin. "To avoid answering my question?" I was getting nervous now, he never kept things from me.
"No, Rose." He sighed. "If you must know, I was out getting something."
"Oh? Now what would this something be, Adrian Ivashkov…?" Without realizing, my eyes narrowed. He laughed, squeezed my hips, and let me go.
Sweetly kissing the top of my head, he turned from me. "No way, Little Dhampir. You can figure out this one on your own…" He walked out the door. Before I could pull myself together enough to stop him, I felt a strange poke in the hip he was tickling before.
Glancing down I noticed a folded up piece of paper slipped into my jeans, nestled in against my hip. I sighed, trust Adrian to be tricky.
Pulling it out, I opened it and read.
Little Dhampir, meet me in my room tonight. Not a second after 8.
This bought another grin to my face. I hadn't had any alone time with Adrian since… I couldn't even remember how long since, I just knew that I was desperate to crush my lips against his, to feel his muscled chest against mine… Snap out of it Rose, you've got to get to class.
And that's what I did, I suffered in silence for the next 8 hours of school, watching the clock sluggishly pass away the minutes. When the final bell did ring, I felt like I was dreaming. Time for dinner, then Adrian.
Lissa caught up with me on my way to our dorms.
"Hey Liss, what's up?" Her face was pale, her eyes blood-shot. Through the bond, I could feel anxiousness, tiredness and sadness. Not a good combination, by far.
"All this spirit is giving me a hard time. I didn't sleep at all last night, Christian had to sneak into my room and keep me company. I know he didn't get any sleep either, he was awake and alert the whole time.
I considered this. What brought this on? It hadn't happened for months, and we'd passed it off as a once time thing. A thought popped into my head before I could figure out the consequences. "Give it to me." I told her sincerely.
She looked shocked. I'm pretty sure I was, until I realized it would help her a great deal. This was my job. "No, I couldn't-."I shook my head before she could finish her sentence.
"No Lissa, this is my job- to protect you from harm. Come on," I was pleading now.
She smiled a little. "Not yet Rose, we're still in school, you're still training. Look, I'll just go to the nurse and ask her for some pain relief tablets." I could tell she was as doubtful that these would work as I was.
"Liss you know those won't work. Please, give me it." Without trying to attract much attention, I pulled her with me into a small alcove. Raising my eyes expectantly, she nodded.
She closed her own and furrowed her eyebrows.
"I'm sorry, Rose…" Was the last thing she said before I felt the spirit surround me. All her emotions, good and bad, swirled in currents through my body. Finally, three landed heavily in my head. These weren't at all good.
I opened my eyes. Hers were already opened, and she looked into them hesitantly. I wasn't sure what I expected, I mean it had happened before, but when it did I was so filled with rage and anger I couldn't think properly. I wondered if it had actually transferred. But looking into Lissa's eyes now, I could tell it had. Her cheeks were bright red from silent exertion, her face a little more coloured than just before. But why wasn't I running around throwing tables at teachers, fire hydrants at minors?
"Are you, are you sure you gave me it all?" Scanning her emotions, I could tell she definitely had. There was no trace of anything negative there, only confusion and content.
She nodded, but I already knew.
"You don't look any different than before." She told me curiously, I could tell she was keeping her guard up in case I snapped at any moment. I was too.
"I know, this is weird. Oh well, I was just about to go to bed," She raised a perfect eye-brow, I could almost hear her say, 'Miss dinner?' something Rose Hathaway never did. But tonight, I didn't have any desire to eat tonight. I found that I wanted to be somewhere else, with someone else.
Departing from Lissa and her confused eyes, I strolled up to my room without much thought of why. Once I got there, I realized there was a reason.
Adrian.
There, on my bed, was Adrian's S.A that I asked him to write before he could date me. Walking over to it, I chuckled at the paragraph I caught sight of from where it sat under a hoard of clothes.
…I promise to stop smoking, unless I really really need one. Same goes for the booze, but I know you enjoy a glass of champagne with me here and there. So, to sum everything up, I am Adrian Ivashkov, asking for permission to date the hot little Dhampir who just can't live without me…
I picked it up and brought it to my nose, inhaling the smell of my favourite perfume that he'd sprayed quickly onto the S.A before handing it to me. The scent screamed Adrian, since he'd brought that perfume for me the first time and I fell in love with it. Fell in love with him.

To be continued.
Hope you're enjoying this Adrian+Rose two shot.
I don't usually write stories based around these two, probably because I'm such an avid Dimitri+Rose fan, but I hope you lovers of Adrian and Rosemarie enjoy this one. Please let me know in the reviews or a PM message if I'm portraying them properly, and if you have any tips for the second part of this two-shot I'd appreciate them muchly (:
Thankyou,
/ Isabella.
