A/N: So I'm currently sitting in the cafeteria on the engineering campus… sometimes I feel like I live here… I'm pretty sure that I'm here more than home… and I super apologize about the couple week break, I just got caught up in school and work for a bit, I'm going to be updating like normal this week but if I'm really feeling on top of things you'll get this chapter, an extra chapter and a super long one next week, hopefully I'll be into the typing mood so you can get all the extra Dracula Untold goodness :3

Disclaimer: Um… nope.

Guest: Ahhhh! I'm so sorry! I'm glad you like it though and here's some more! Thanks for the review!

Old Eyes

Mina stirred slightly, not really sure when she had fallen asleep, she thought back on it, she remembered… she remembered being with Vlad… talking to him… finding out about… hmm that could've been a really strange dream, she thought to herself. The blonde opened her eyes and realized that she was laying up against the very man she had just been thinking of, her breath caught slightly as she realized this. His eyes were closed and his breath was slow… really slow, that wasn't a dream then, she thought, the slight insanity of the moment striking her again. It was so stunning to think that for the past couple months she had been dating a creature of legend, and not just any creature of legend, the one and only Dracula. She snuggled deeper into him and he unconsciously wrapped his arms tighter around her, whispering something in Romanian and she couldn't help but smile. It was amazing and incredible, she never would've expected to get this out of life… who would've thought that vampires could actually exist? That the monsters that they heard about as bedtime stories, watched on the big screen at the theater, his in the shadows of their very own world.

Sure she had known that there was something that Vlad had been hiding from her, that there was something that he wasn't telling her, but she had never expected it to be that he was immortal, that he had fought Turks as a child and slain many many men throughout his long life. Mina reached a hand up and ran it down his face, feeling his cool skin and the beginnings of stubble against her fingertips. The former prince stirred slightly, his eyes slowly blinking open, brightening when he saw her.

"When did I fall asleep…?" he said softly, yawning the second he finished voicing the words.

"I don't know, I'm fairly certain that I fell asleep first." She responded, just as softly, not wanting to break the mood of the room, it was quiet and calm, the fire was mere embers in the hearth but that was okay.

"You did," he mumbled, shifting his weight and pulling her tighter against his chest, her ear was now against his collar bone, though his heart only beat ever so occasionally against her ear. Mina giggled quietly

"Then why are you asking me when you fell asleep?" Vlad stroked her head

"Shhh… no more talking…" something else was mumbled, so distorted that she wasn't even sure which language it was in.

"Vlad!" she grumbled as her pulled her uncomfortably onto her side. He just mumbled and turned his head the other way. She twisted and squirmed, trying to get out of the vampire's grip. He frowned and sighed and let her go, Mina humphed at the man and grabbed one of his arms, trying to pull him to his feet.

"Why are you trying to get me to get up?" he asked, his eyes still closed

"Because it's boring to be the only one awake in your house." She gave up trying to pull on his arm, he was just too heavy. "I thought you were nocturnal." She commented, putting her hand on her hip. The former prince peeked at her from under a heavy eyelid.

"Kinda." He said before sighing and sitting up, rubbing his face as he yawned again. "I do try to put up some human appearances." He grumbled before standing and looking at her

"What about you? Aren't you human people supposed to sleep at night?" he asked, a teasing light in his eyes.

"I don't always do what I'm supposed to." She teased back, Vlad raised an eyebrow and stood, stepping up to her, trying to be big and scary, she could tell, but all she could see was the sleepy cute side of him right now. He put an arm around her, tilting her chin back so he could see her face, she smiled up at him, loving the look in those green eyes. She ran a hand down his cheek again and he leaned into her touch.

"Your eyes are the only thing about you that is old." She said quietly, voicing an opinion she'd held for a long time now.

"What?" his attention was definitely on her now

"Your eyes, the rest of you looks young, but your eyes carry a weight to them, I don't really know how to explain it other than your eyes look old." He smiled sadly

"It's the weight of a hard life." He said in explanation, she kissed him gently and ran her hand back down through his hair only to rest on his shoulder instead.

"I think they make you look wise." She said with a small grin

"I'm not wise." The vampire scoffed "I have made so many, many mistakes over my life."

"And that's how one becomes wise, is through their mistakes and being able to recognize them before they come again to haunt you." Mina said before he leaned forward and kissed her again. When they parted they rested their foreheads together.

"Mina, I love you."

"I love you too Vlad."

A/N: Okay so this is slightly short, but it's also super fluffy and if my predictions are right you guys are gonna get another chapter this week anyway so!

Till next time,
