16 – Locked together AU

"Everything in here is broken!"

Exclaimed Alucard in anger not caring for the people who were staring at him, Seras gave everyone an apologetic look as she followed her friend and took a hold of his arm.

"Don't be so loud!" She whispered to him. "Or else the teacher will know and will make us wait on the bus."

"It would be better, then this boring Musume." He scuffed.

Alucard and Seras were excited when their teacher announced that their class was going on a field trip to the Musume. They started to plan on what to do first and where to go. To not waste money on snacks and drinks they decided to buy their own in advance. Of course, their teacher had already had a schedule prepared for the class but when they asked her to afterward explore by themselves she said 'Yes' as long as they don't get in trouble. When the day came and they reached the museum, they were…disappointed. They were supposed to watch a movie first, some kind of documentary but they didn't because there was a dysfunction in the projector. Alucard didn't care the sooner they finished with their teacher activities the sooner he and Seras can explore by themselves without an adult following them around. They then were supposed to go on a tour to see some wax figures about explorers and tyrant from their history lessons, but that was also canceled because the wax figures were removed, so they can make room for better once. The last thing, was for them to take a group picture with the dinosaur head that was built to make it look like he had forced his head into the wall and jaw were open for a roar that never came. Almost all the class were excited for that part including Seras, but like every other thing in this museum, the head was being taken apart. The whole class was disappointed including Seras, but Alucard thought that he would make it up to her when they reach the machine hall where he heard that they got a real airplane from the military, they would have the chance to set in the cockpit and take photos. But he was livid when he saw a sign that said that the hall was closed for repairs. Alucard was livid, to say the least.

"The only things we have seen so far are the paintings and they aren't the real deal either!" He growled. "They were just cheap copies to attract more people!"

"How about we go to the teacher and ask her to take us to a better place?" Said Seras as she kept walking towards the stairs.

"I don't think she would agree…But it's worth the try." He said with a shrug before pausing and looking at Seras with furrowed brows. "Where are you going?"

Seras stopped before taking the first steps and tuned to Alucard.

"….To the teacher?" she said confused. "She did say that she will be in the cafeteria if we needed her."

"I know but the stairs are too long and we might slip and fall like the others." He said remember when one of his classmates slipped after taking only one step, Alucard not wanting Seras to get hurt the same way he held her by her hand and started to take her away. "Let's go use the elevator instead."

Alucard was pulling Seras along with him, missing the look of worry that crossed her face. He pushed the button with the arrow pointing down, and then stood in front of the elevator and waited. When the doors were opened Alucard took a step forward but stopped when he noticed that Seras didn't follow him in.

"Seras…" He called making the girl snapped her head from the elevator's doors to Alucard. "Stop being weird and let's go."

Hesitantly Seras walked inside, keeping her head down as to avoid something, Alucard thought it was just one of her weird quirks, so he didn't think much of it as he followed her inside. He pushed the 'G' button and waited for the doors to close and the elevator to move. When it did he turned his head to the right expecting Seras to be there but she wasn't. he found her standing near the corner, being completely still as if something was going to happen if she moved one muscle. This made Alucard worried when he opened his mouth to ask her what was wrong the elevator suddenly stopped, causing Seras to let out a gasp and Alucard to wobble a little. He gritted his teeth as he looked around him.

"Damned museum…" he mumbled. "Everything in it is broken."

Alucard reached the emergency button and pressed it when he did a loud noise came from above them for a moment before it was off. It would Alarm those who are outside that there is a problem and even if that didn't work, the signal already reached the security room, so all they had to do is wait. Alucard wasn't bothered by the noise but Seras was. When Alucard turned to her he found her setting in a fetal position with her legs pressing against her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She was hyperventilating, her body trembling so badly and her face had a look of pure fear. Alucard never saw Seras like this before.

"S…Seras" He called but she didn't seem to have heard him. He came closer to her and slowly sat by her side but not close enough to press against her. "Seras can you hear me?"

She didn't respond to him making him worried even more. He reached out to hold her shoulder making her flinch and look at him, he gave her a weary smile.

"Don't be afraid Seras they will get us out, I promise." What he said seemed to calm her breathing down but not her trembling. Seras looked around the elevator again only for her eyes to grow wide again with fear and then launch at Alucard, burying her face in his chest and clench his shirt for dear life. This startled Alucard.

"Make it stop!" She screamed into his chest making him confused.

"Stop what Seras?" Alucard placed his hand over her head to try and comfort her, but it did so little.

"The walls…" She whispered. "They…They are closing in…please."

And then it clicked, that seras was having a panic attack. Alucard wrapped his arms around her, he didn't know what to do or how to deal with this, he would be lying if he said that he wasn't terrified by what was going on, but he still tried to soothe her.

"It's…it's alright." He said as he petted her hair. "Nothing will harm you here."

"Alucard…" She whimpered and Alucard could feel his shirt being damp from Seras's tears. Alucard bit his lower lip, feeling his own anxiety rise for not being able to calm his friend. He kept holding her tight and play with her hair as he thought what to do. Then he remembered something his mother always did to him when he was afraid of thunderstorms. She would distract him with a story.

"Hey did I tell you about how Baskerville always attacks this kid who only comes to my home with his parents for a business dinner?" He said gently not sure of how she would react, but he smiled in relief when Seras stopped sobbing and her trembling calmed down. She shocks her head 'No' in response, which made him smile as he held her tighter.

"There is this other boy, his name is Sebastian." He began. "When we first met, our parents forced us to be 'Friends' because they started to do business together, so I was forced to take him to my room and share some of my games with him and so on, and let me tell you Seras he was so annoying and always acted like he was better than anyone else. And I thought I was a brat, compared to him I'm a sweet angel."

That made Seras giggle a little much to Alucard's joy to know that what he was doing was working.

"As I was saying." He continued. "one of the things I found out about him was that he didn't like dogs. When he first saw Baskerville he said to keep 'That mutt' away from him and started talking about how cats are way better than dogs, of course, that made me angry, and you know what happens when I'm angry?"

"….You do something stupid." Seras said lightly making Alucard grin widened at her answer.

"I do something stupid!" He repeated. "I made Baskerville tackle him whenever he came, it's not like I made him rip off an arm or something. I just told him to say 'Hey'."

This made Seras giggle grow a bit louder. She remembered the first time she met Baskerville when they were in elementary school, Alucard had just said 'Say Hey!' and the dog immediately jumped at Seras pinning her to the ground and started to lick her face. Baskerville was a big dog even though they were in middle school now, he was still too big for them to handle, so she could imagine the anger or maybe the fear that the boy had felt. Seras still didn't pull away from Alucard fearing that if she did she would see where she was and be scared all over again.

"You are horrible." She said jokingly causing Alucard to laugh.

"That's what he gets for calling Baskerville a mutt."

Before Seras could say anything the elevator shook a little making her squeal as she clenched on Alucard's shirt tighter, Alucard pressed her head closer to his chest as he looked around him in fear at the possibility of the elevator actually falling. But he was relieved when he heard a man calling from the other side.

"Is anybody in there?" the man shouted his voice slightly muffled from the iron doors.

"YES!" Shouted Alucard.

"How many are there? Are you injured?"

"Just me and my friend, and no we're not injured."

"Alright, stay away from the doors, we are going to open them now."

Alucard moved Seras with him so they both were facing the elevator's doors but still far away from it. As the man said, the doors were opened by force. The elevator thankfully has stopped halfway down, so He and Seras had enough room to get out without trouble, The man whom Alucard assumed was the one who was calling them from the other side was a police officer who smiled at them in attempt to not scare them.

"It's alright now you are safe, come here."

Alucard rolled his eyes at the way the man talked to them as if they were some babies, but again, Alucard was holding Seras tight to his chest. Ignoring the man, Alucard let go of Seras and gently unclenched her hands from his shirt. After whispering to her that she was safe now, Seras looked up to the police officer who still had his hands up to them and slowly made her way to him. When they were safely out the both of them were tackled by their teacher into a tight embrace.

"I was so worried!" She then pulled away from them and became serious. "What were you thinking using the elevator without an adult with you, honestly you two are going to drive me insane by the end of the school year!"

Both Alucard and Seras didn't say anything as the teacher went on and on it wasn't the first time they get yelled at by her, Alucard leaned slightly to the right.

"let's meet up in the park after school." He whispered."I'll bring Baskerville."

"Agreed" Seras whispered back holding back a big smile.

But still, none of them realized that they were still holding hands.
