The pain his body was sending to his brain was enormous, but he didn't care one bit as his eyes shifted to her neck, then back to her face quickly as he tried to clear his sense of really evil thoughts.
"He he he...Couldn't tell a lie to Master, Seras..." His other arm snaked around her neck some more, leaving the opposite still holding the back of her head, and pulled up lightly. He moved in the rest of the way and closed the space between them, and Seras saw what was going to happen, and she slowly began to shut her eyes. As soon as she did, he kissed her.
His eyes closed suit, just to enjoy it, but his mind was out of control with other thoughts, and his body ached dully. He fought with his crazy side; he just wanted to be with her...but the other side of him worried him to no end. Alucard won out in the end, moving his arms to make them both comfortably closer than before. He moved his lips off of Seras, only to lay his head on her breasts, rubbing his head like one would do to a pillow.
She blinked, looking down, or at she least tried to, at him, and put her arms around his shoulders.
"Comfortable, eh?" She joked around with him. He opened his eyes, the color turning back to his normal reddish, and he looked up at her with his bangs in the way.
"...Very..." He squeezed her. A fang poked out of her bottom lip.
"Glad to be of service, Master!"
He still looked up at her, a glint in his eye of sorrow, love, and weakness. He looked away after being silent and buried his face in between her breasts. A surely disturbing picture for anybody who might have wanted to walk in at that moment.
He shook his head. "You shouldn't have to be made to service me this way, Seras...I should know better..."
A serious look flickered into her eyes.
"Master...I wouldn't go so low...as to do this...and have no feelings..." She paused. "I'm not a toy...even though, I am technically a servant...but I'm not a toy and I'm doing this because I would be disobeying you, y'know."
He picked his head up and listened to her, still saddened, but nonetheless glad for her independence on how she felt, and he tried to smile.
"...Seras...I'm sorry if I offended you...it's just that...sometimes...I wonder what your life would be like if I were not your master...if you were not to serve..." And he reset his head to where it was, against her chest again.
She relaxed herself, looking up at the top of the coffin. "Hmmm...I think it'd be pretty dull...it really would...or I even might've been dead and long gone already...like everybody else I used to work with..." She blew a sigh.
"...And you do not think this is dull, night after night...for all eternity...?"
Seras looked down at him.
"No...You should know that...why would I say yes?"
His eyes narrowed, thinking. "...The night, new to you, becomes old...and I sometimes wonder if I ever have seen light...as my body decays, not all is eternal..."
She really didn't know what to say after that, so she stayed silent and listened, still staring off above her. Alucard noticed the stillness coming from her, and he scotched up to give her a kiss on the cheek, and afterwards he settled back down with his head resting on her breasts again. He still hugged her like a stuffed animal.
"I'm weary...going to sleep...you do not have to, if you wish...?"
Seras blew out of the corner of her mouth, trying to stifle a grin. "...'Kay...I think I'll just lie awake for a few minutes, though..."
He closed his eyes. "Hmmmm...Comfy..."
She lied there, her hands resting on his back and shoulders as she stared at the inside of the top of the still-opened coffin. Her master noticed by instinct that she wasn't happy, or not asleep.
"...Sleepy sleep..." He muttered strangely in a deep voice. Her ears perked up as she blinked at the sound of his voice.
"Na?" She was too lazy to move, and she couldn't anyway, but she was too comfortable to move, feeling like she was molded in her spot. He half-opened one eye and looks up at her with it.
"...If you want...I could move so you could get out...?"
"Hm?" She raised her head up this time. "No, no you don't have to move...I'm comfortable enough and besides...where would I go?" She looked around.
"...I suppose you're right," He hugged her more, smudging his face into her chest. Seras rolled her eyes, talking lightheartedly.
"Hmmm...I'm right again," She decided to close her eyes, relaxing some more.
Alucard tried to breath deeply and sigh, but there was no breath; he's undead, so he just moved his arm and pulled her head closer into more of an embrace.
He grinned with his eyes closed. "Hmm...Right isn't always best..."
She was quiet as she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her face into his hair on the top of his head.
"Whatever you say..." She said, knowing that if anybody knew what he or she was talking about, it was her master.
"Hmmm..." He smiled and she opened her eyes. "...Sleep."
As Seras grinned, he had fallen asleep. She began to think to herself.
"Hmmm...Wonder how long we've been awake..." She closed her eyes again. "No matter..." She lied her head down, still resting on the top of Alucard's head, making herself comfortable as possible as she dozed in silence.
"...Only a few hours...almost dawn...the coffin should close soon..."
She chuckled in her throat as she was reminded of her master's ability to use telepathy. "Good timing..." She gritted her teeth together, trying to stifle a yawn, but it came anyway.
By now, the coffin had closed overhead, and silence had befallen them both.
As the moon replaced the sun in the next evening, Alucard's eyes opened, and his moved his face away from lying on Seras' chest. He moved in closer to her, his face millimeters from her face as he rubbed his nose against her cheek.
"...Seras..."
She was out cold though, not being a very light sleeper.
"...Naaaa..." She murmured, half-asleep. He stretched his arms from under her neck and he looked at them, seeing they were a better color for him, and noting as well that they didn't hurt as much as before...nor did his back.
He placed them back around her neck, hanging his hands and whispering loudly into her ear.
"SERAS..."
Her eyes popped open as she jerked awake. "NAAA?!?!"
He put his hands on her face to calm her, and he smiled. "...Good evening, Seras..." Her eyes seemed to shrink as she turned her head and looked at him, her body relaxing.
"...Good evening, master Alucaaaard..." She said a little tipsy-like, as she had been just jolted awake. Her hair frizzed out.
"Hmmm...Evening already?! Sugoi..." She blinked, and he removed his hands from her face and sat up next to her, looking at her, with his back to the wall.
"...Yes...it is evening...you seem like you slept well...hmmm...Seras...?"
She nodded, sitting up slowly, trying to simmer down her crazy hair. "Hai!" She grinned. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked her over; at her hair flying all over, and he grinned evilly.
"...A suiting hair-do for what we were doing...hehehe..."
Seras laughed through her teeth as she grinned. "I guess you can say that..." A wild flicker went through her eyes for a moment, and she noticed her master gazing at her. He remembered the few moments of comfort he had just by an embrace.
"Hmmm...I could...and I have...said it..."
"Na...it was a figure of speech..." She blew some stray hairs out of her face.
"Hmmm..." He slid over to her and hugged her with his left hand, ruffling up her hair with his right, almost giving her a noogie. He stared at her hair, which looked like it had been electrocuted to a fuzz ball. "...Better this way...mwahahaha..."
Her eyes widened as she felt the strands of hair poof up from her head, defying the laws of gravity.
"I wonder why you like it that way..." She made a cockeyed grin in his direction, her hair making her unable to take seriously.
"Hmmm...it fits your fiery spirit...fluffy..." He took his right hand away from her frazzled hair and wrapped his around her waist, his left around her upper back.
"Maybe you're right...but it feels like it's more than just 'fluffy.'"
He looked at the poof ball below him and his eyes widened, his arms still around her.
"Hmmm...Static electricity, maybe..."
She sweatdropped.
"Static electricity? From what?" She eyed his gloves. "Glovesss..." She said in a demonic voice, putting her arms around his middle.
He looked at his gloves as they still rested behind Seras, his eyes opened halfway.
"Hmmmm...Oh...these...mwahahaha..."
Alucard was about to continue speaking, when a creak interrupted him, followed by some movement over at the other end of the room to the left. Seras' bedroom door was opening.
Seras slowly turned her head over to the door, opening her eye a crack as she thought she heard a noise. As her eye opened, she saw who and what were entering, and her eyes bulged as big as they could and she froze.
Lady Integral walked in slowly, her eyes bulging a little. Her glasses started to fall to the tip of her nose, and she raised a shaky unsure hand to push them back up.
"Wh...What is...this..."
