Good Evening,
I just came up with this idea. It's not very long, I know, but I like just how simple this chapter is. It's not full of angst or smut. It's just Alucard and Seras enjoying one another's company (sort of). Tomorrow, I will post the second chapter for "A Little Mistake, A Big Change" and maybe I'll have the second chapter out for this too. I definitely have a bit more planned for this one, but it won't be a very long story. Maybe just another short chapter or two. Depends where it goes and if anymore ideas for this story hits me. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Aching For You
Part 1
It had been two months since Alucard had taken up a new fledgling. Two months since he met his little mate, Seras. Two months she had been refusing the damn blood which led to him ignoring her until she decided to act like a real queen. And now here she lay, wrapped in bloody bandages after being riddled with bullets. His master, Sir Integra, had sent his Childe out with a unit. It was supposed to be a simple mission; an in and then out sort of job. Go, kill the ghouls, and come home safely. But his Childe wasn't one to follow orders. On her mission, she had been ambushed. A majority of her unit was shot down and the rest managed to kill what was left of the ghouls and vampires that ambushed them. But, unfortunately, his foolish bride was one of those who got the hit. Thankfully she couldn't die from such trifling things. Honestly, if she was a real vampire she would be fully healed by now and be walking about perfectly fine as if nothing happened. But here she lay. Out cold and wrapped in those once bright white, but now deep red bandages.
What was he going to do with her? He thought with a sign. Despite how disappointed he was in her, he wasn't here to judge or lecture her. His bride was hurt and needed him. She lay here in pain and needed some form of comfort, and that's just what he was going to do; give her that comfort and recess from the pain. Moving with a stride of elegance, but looking similar to a jungle cat hunting, he approached the side of his bride's bed. Her chest gently lifted with each small breath she took. Her head rested comfortably on the pillow, facing him but her eyes were closed. Though, how comfortable she looked, there was a clear look of discomfort on her features. She was pale in the face besides the small tinge of pink in those cheeks of hers. Alucard couldn't help reaching out a hand to lightly brush his finger over one of her colored cheeks.
"Seras," He whispered her name, hoping that would be enough to wake her. But his Draculina didn't even stir. He continued to brush the back of his finger over her cheek while his red eyes flickered about her face. "Seras," He said a bit more loudly this time around. She gently shifted, but didn't fully awaken. As carefully as he could, doing his best not to hurt his already injured bride, Alucard sat down beside her on the bed. He propped his legs up comfortably and wrapped an arm beneath her head and around her shoulders. He slowly pulled her close, still acting cautiously with her injuries, until her shoulder pressed into his side and her head rested against his ribs. She now lied warmly and securely in the crook of his arm. "Seras," Alucard spoke her name one last time. This time if she didn't respond he would just leave her alone to sleep, but she did respond.
The girl finally cracked open her eyes to reveal those gorgeous blue orbs. Very disoriented, she looked about her room before tilting back her head to look at her Sire curiously from the corner of her eye. Her eyes weren't fully open and her mouth was slightly agape. Even though how confused and hurt she may be, he couldn't help but find her cute in that moment. It somewhat astonished him that she was so calm to find herself laying in his arms, but he blamed her calmness on how muddled she really was. Alucard gave her a small, warm smile while his one hand went on caressing her cheek lovingly. Seras simply rested her head on his chest and continued to stare up at him with that glazed look in her eyes. He knew how tired she must be and he wouldn't stop her from returning to sleep. He just wanted her to know that he was here. Her lips moved, but her voice was silent. He knew she was trying to say something to him, but she couldn't. And she didn't even struggle to try saying that something.
"Don't speak, Seras." Alucard whispered to her. "Just relax," Seras didn't fight to disobey him. She closed her eyes and tried drifting back off into sleep. His eyes flickered from her face to slowly trail down her body. The blouse of her uniform was all the way unbuttoned and her entire torso was bandaged tightly. Her left arm and leg was also bandage, but, thankfully, those bandages were dirty with blood…yet. He frowned at the sight of his broken bride. For a split second, he actually felt a pang of guilt for not being there when it happened. But that guilt was gone when he reminded himself that he couldn't have possibly have known what was going to happen to her. All he could do was just be here now for her. He was done ignoring his mate. He was done lecturing her and trying to push her into being something she didn't even want to be. Eventually, she'll come around and drink the blood. But, for right now, he'll just be here to support and comfort her. Alucard leaned over her small form to press his lips to the top of her head. He had been dying to give his mate a real kiss, one that was preferably on the lips, since he had created her. But, he'll settle for this. He rested his head on top of hers. Her hair tickled his nose, but he didn't mind so much. The elder vampire closed his eyes and rested with his fledgling. Tomorrow, he'll worry about taking away her pain. For now, he'll let her sleep.
End of Part 1
Speaking of short stories. I plan on writing a bunch of short stories for "Roughhousing". That fic will go between different events that happens between Alucard, Seras, and Sebastian from when they were real little and when they're adults. It'll just skip around. I have been writing the second chapter for that fic, but it isn't complete yet, sadly. Once the second chapter is done, the skipping around from different ages will begin. I hope you guys enjoyed this little experience between Alucard and Seras.
