Vampire Academy: Drabbles

by Samwysesr

Drabbles based on prompts submitted to me by my followers on tumblr. If you have one you'd like to see written, either leave it in a review or shoot me a pm. Most will be based on Rose and Dimitri, but other characters will be involved, and a few of them might just surprise you.

POV – Dimitri

Word Count: 205

Unlike the other guardians at Saint Vladimir's, Dimitri didn't mind patrol shifts. The others had a vast myriad of complaints. The ones most often heard in the lounge were that the shifts were far too varied, playing havoc with one's schedule; that they screwed up one's internal clock causing problematic sleep, and the unanimous favorite, that they were just plain boring. Those were all things that didn't perturb him in the slightest. Instead, of grumbling like the others, he signed up for extra shifts, and often covered for his co-workers if the opportunity arose. Why, you might ask?

Because he enjoyed having the opportunity to wander the beautiful grounds, whether it be by sunlight or moonlight. Being alone as he strolled through the woods gave him ample time to reflect on the days events, and to work out the problems that played at his mind. In other words, it gave him plenty of uninterrupted time to think about Rose.

And inevitably, several times during each and every shift, he'd find himself standing outside of her dorm, staring up at her window with a hopeful expression on his upturned face. Waiting and praying to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girl inside that owned his heart.
