Okay! Finally got this chapter done, but juggling between a few things with writing this, one for homework, and other stuff. Enjoy now~
We ended up spend time in the living room and he's in my arms. A few hours ago, he has been clingier onto me because of the stupid rumor, he even remembered Jarlan situation I was almost in. He was afraid to lose me, but he hasn't dared to go farther than that. My fingers slipped through his silver hair and I treasured his unique quality of his looks.
Vlad didn't calm down at all and refused to let out of his sight. I texted Jazz to patrol with Sam and Tucker for the week until Skulker clear the air. That and need extra clothes and pajamas down here for the week. If this is what will be like when I tell him the whole other side of our situation, he might take things around differently.
"Vlad, do you like it when I do this?" My fingers' skin felt the smoothness of his hair.
He glanced up at me, "It's fine, Daniel."
It was better than being distance, but he's too focused on my safety around ghosts. I leaned in to kiss his forehead gently.
"You do realize Queen Dora and most of my enemies are under thirty levels, right?"
He stared at his hands, "They can overcome their levels and try to claim you, if they are desperate."
I brushed back his hair, "I can't be theirs, not if I belong to you…"
"The observant hates you, though. Aren't you petrified they may purposely put you with the supposed claim ghost and that you're enslaved by them for eternity?"
I sighed, "That's why I'm staying in the headquarter with you, they won't be able to retrieve me if I am in here."
Poor Vlad, he gets so worried and protective me, and I can't do anything much about the others that are desperate for me. He has no idea that he's caring a child that leads us to the top of the ghost zone in our control. We're the king and…er, king. Or does that makes Vlad the queen? Well, he is my mate and I am the one to be the father. So, he has to be the queen.
At least he's calm and not going any further than what he found out.
"Why am I here, Daniel? Other than you're trying to protect me, but you are very well aware I can protect myself." He pointed.
I kissed his head, "Vlad, I don't want anything to get in the way for us. I want us to have that every chance as much as possible. But…" I couldn't go on, "…I…let's not talk about this. I'm sure you're tired and that you want to shower tonight." I decided to not push it.
Vlad sighed as he gave in, he knew I wouldn't go further than what I have told him. He's too curious, but it's not the right time to risk anything at the moment. At least we snuggle, but the thoughts of Skulker's advice was to excite my partner and I wasn't too sure how else to direct it carefully.
"Could you care enough to explain why Skulker suggested you to excite me?" Vlad wondered.
I chuckled, "He wants you to feel love too, you have no idea what you're missing out when you love your mate. I mean, I'm not going to stop you to try at least with me."
Vlad's eyebrow went up and he was very, very curious on the whole 'excitement' idea for some reason. Of course, let's just say it wasn't a normal way of doing things. Since he became attach to me, he thought some shower fun would be nice to try. Although, he refused to kiss me on his own term or look below our naval area. The shower was running smoothly, but Vlad came up something more creative. It's sort of a game where we had to use our imagination and see how we use it in 'supposed' situation. But, it didn't last forever, though, he started to change it.
"If you showed up at my door instead of bringing me here, what would be the first thing you'd do?" Vlad wondered.
Of course, his curiosity has gotten the better of him. It was just a game and hoping this might make thing interesting.
"Well, I would act out on the part where I need a closer place to live for my job. Hoping that you wouldn't mind at all. Whenever I have free time around you, I would constantly tell you the good things have been going on, exposed my new powers on purpose, and possibly seek out for possible training time with you. I would purposely flirt once a week, but after getting closer to you…" I hummed, "I would have flirt with you at least three times a day. Getting you all comfortable to me and start showing my homosexual signs to you only. Lastly, once I get you very close to me, we'd have sex in your bedroom." I answered.
Vlad washed his hair slowly, made sure he got to every strand of it, and he heard my answer. He asked and nodded along as he heard.
"You thought this through, haven't you?" He asked.
I sighed, "Vlad, you're more than my whole world. You're a part of me that I can't actually let go and…" I gulped, "…now, the more I looked back, the more it hurts. Whenever I thought the first day we met, it burns me alive and dead."
Vlad jerked his head up at me, stunned to see to where I have come across to, and I wasn't too sure where this might head to.
"You…I-I thought it was just me. I thought it was because I never said anything to you that I am finally leaving you alone and let us have a peace of life." He told me.
My hair was finally rinsed off, "We do have a connection, Vlad." I helped myself some body wash soap.
"What can I do with…this?"
Vlad didn't spend much time with the truth of obsessions that all ghosts have. In fact, we struggle harder because we're humans as well. He has to be a ghost from time to time.
"You set yourself free, Vlad. You have to allow your ghost half to complete, who you are, and no more restraining yourself. When we were having sex, you opened yourself up to end our pain."
He hummed softly, "You did a wonderful job that night and I did truly enjoy."
I smiled and held his hands, "And since you enjoy that, you'll enjoy the rest of our relationship. I will go slow and wait for you to try something."
His face turned bright red and he would probably claim the hot shower does that to his face. Instead, I didn't ruin the moment and we finished up our shower. He turned quieter than I expected him to be and couldn't blame him…
Unfortunately…he hasn't passed the stages of being more comfortable around me. Vlad would often blush if I touch him in anyway. We spent a lot of time together since I couldn't leave the headquarter room. Skulker hasn't returned over the past six weeks. I figured he's helping Clockwork and dealing with an exchange. Clockwork isn't easy to please unless it is Dan. I mentally shuddered at the thoughts of those two mating.
Vlad and I would often watch movies to books for the fun. We took turns doing something different, but his hormonal behavior wasn't normal in my terms. He would snap at me for using the bathroom for too long when I was only in there for two minutes!
Whenever I take a shower in his sleep, he would wake up crying and I end up babying him until he fell asleep again. Although, he claimed he hasn't remembered the crying and I believe he's in denial.
During the boredom, Vlad requested chess and we played for hours! We did it in the bedroom, the living room, and at the dinner table. He wasn't entirely comfortable with the back pain he claimed to be in. Thankfully, I knew what it was and I arranged a special heating pad for his back. He felt better when using it to minimize the pain.
Though, he wasn't aware of the fact four weeks ago, his clothes were exchanged into a large size. Well, one size up and next week is when I change the size one more time. He hasn't suspected anything, but he went along with anything that had happened. He seems to be functioning well…it's just…um, he hasn't been feeling sick or wanting to go to the bathroom constantly yet.
Does it mean that he isn't pregnant? His emotions proved it otherwise, but maybe I'm wrong. Vlad didn't complain it was too loose for his clothes, but he has been sleepier than I realize. Even with the tea I provided for him didn't help much, I can't tell him to take his vitamin, and he would suspect more. Maybe he's hiding the nausea-ness from me and he doesn't want me to worry.
Perhaps I should pretend to do health checkup on him and see he'll confess or make a fit over this. I pulled out my phone and texted Jazz to bring me health kit down. She didn't respond, but I can tell she saw the message. There was one thing she does understands why I'd do things like this, but Vlad won't suspect much.
Right now, he's watching a show he recently placed his interests on something about the law shows, but the show has its own twists. Very sick and insane show I have ever seen, but he seems to be into them. The characters were even held unusual characteristic, but amusing for Vlad. I was cleaning up the dishes and refused any help from Vlad. There was no way I'd want him to be stressed out on things he doesn't need to deal with at the moment. The dishtowel was put away and the door slid open with someone particular. Tucker got that door to close automatically once we walk pass it. My head turned and Vlad kept his attention towards the Thographic Intel.
Jazz was holding a red and white container box with a big plus sign. I grinned at her and knowing she would do anything to help out.
"Here you go, Danny." She handed it over to me.
I nodded, "Thanks, Jazz."
She smiled, "Anytime, but what are you planning?" She whispered.
Whenever Jazz whispered, it's not something a human being can easily hear like a low voice through a cell phone and outsider listeners will not pick up a damn thing. My voice began to match hers to avoid Vlad catching on, also she can read lips very well.
"To see if he is really nausea or not, he hasn't shown more obvious signs." I told her.
She nodded, "Reasonable, but do keep in mind everyone is different in their circumstances."
I smirked, "I know," My voice returned to normal, "Thanks, Jazz. Oh, anything from Skulker yet?"
She frowned, "I'm sorry, Danny. Nothing from him, Tucker is planning on reaching him at midnight with a strong message." She stated.
I crossed my arms, "I can't be stuck here forever!"
Jazz looked over to Vlad and he was glaring at me obviously. I glanced at him, wondering what's with him, and his killer look against me.
"…Jazz, go take care of the situation for me." I quickly told her.
She nodded and left immediately without saying anything. She already dropped off the health kit for me and that's all I ever needed. Vlad, on the other hand, hasn't stopped giving me furious look. I sighed and figured what I said might have point out his situation a bit, but I can't lose him yet. The health kit was laid down on the dinner table and I headed over to the couch. My butt glued to the armrest of the couch and looked at him.
"You're mad."
He huffed, "What do you think?" Vlad snapped his head towards my direction.
Oh, shit, he's pissed off more than I thought. I might as well let him vent it all out before he blows a serious fuse in the future.
"Vlad, I see you're mad and you have every right to be upset."
Vlad scoffed, "You think you're stuck here forever! I refused to be here and you're holding me here against my will!" His hands shoved me off the couch to the ground.
Damn, I forgot how much he stands his ground and make it happen to get his way. This was one of the ways he may try to attempt his leaving here.
"I have a life outside as well! How it is fair when you trap me here when you could have done is just demand me back into your life? Why couldn't have you just try to rape me at my mansion and-and tell me about ghost's obsession? You aren't telling me much of it and I feel that you're hiding from me! With trying to accept all of this, I am constantly trapped with impossible escape at my own will!" He hissed.
His breathing was heavy and suddenly, turned into wheezing with tears. I blinked and realized that he had to be pregnant. According to what Sam taught me about emotional state is to make them happy again. I hurried up and hugged him with a strong grip.
"Oh, Vlad, I-I do have my reason," I wiped off his tears smoothly, "I promise you for a strong and good reason for having you here. You will definitely thank me later on." He clung onto me and wept heavily, "Now, stop hiding those beautiful blue sapphire eyes I love to look at." I tried to peek to get a good look of his eyes.
We sat down on the couch and he finally slowed down with his tears, he repeated what I said about his eyes to himself, and I never dared to let him go.
"Yo-y-you like my eyes, Daniel?"
I smiled slightly, "I love your sapphire eyes, Vlad."
Vlad scoffed turned into laughter, he was being cherry again, and that's what I wanted out of him the most. He hasn't dared to try to actually escape and maybe giving him a real reason right now. My fingers traced his cheek to his neck and he finally calm down for once. At least I learned how his emotions have been around here.
"Maybe you should know the truth now, seeing it has been few weeks already and-"
His head jerked up, "-you-you mean it?"
I smiled, "Of course, but…" I rubbed the back of my neck, "I want you to promise me that you, um, don't try to overreact too much."
He nodded faster than I could blink, "I promise!"
I chuckled and felt a little nervous announcing this truth to him. I took a deep breather and looked at him seriously. He clenched onto my long sleeves with so much eagerness in him.
"After a ghost mating happens with love, ghosts are able to-" My ghost scent whipped out unexpected, "Ugh…Skulker!"
Sometimes, ghosts have a bad time of showing up! Vlad grew annoyed and decided to get Skulker situation over with.
