They had been stopped a couple of times, having been asked their names, and how they had come to meet each other, and so on and so forth. Luckily, they hadn't been stopped much.
Integra found herself wanting a little fresh air, and excused herself from the conversation they had been stuck to for the last fifteen minutes. Alucard wanting to stay with her, and not leave her side, also excused himself, following her.
She went out into the gardens where she had found a very comfortable bench, most just because her feet were slightly throbbing, and sat with a heavy sigh. Then she noticed that Alucard had followed her there. He sat as well. It was then that she had noticed how long his legs were. They sort of reminded her of stilts, and she giggled to herself. Alucard pretended not to notice.
"It really is very beautiful out here isn't it," Integra said. She suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach, though she wasn't sure exactly why she would have that feeling. She couldn't possibly have feelings for her vampire. Though, from what she heard, tall, dark, and handsome was the main type of men to catch these days. At least, that's what some lady had said. I think that she was talking about Alucard. After all, she was looking strangely at him when she said that, she thought, staring straight at the moon. It was like a giant spotlight, but not nearly as blinding.
She jumped a little as she felt a hand cover hers, and found herself looking at the ground. She wasn't sure what to make of it.
Alucard wanted to know how she would react to his forwardness.
"Do you want something, Alucard?" Integra asked, not wanting to look him in the face.
"I wanted to know..." he stopped. Then continued, "how do you feel about me? Tell me the truth."
"Now what sort of a question is that?" she said thinking that it was some kind of game of his.
"I was curious," he said, sitting back to where he had been, and taking his hand off of hers. He didn't pry into her thoughts to find her reaction. He wanted to be surprised.
She thought for a couple of moments, and making up her mind she sat up straight. Then she shot up to her feet.
Alucard wasn't sure what she was doing. He looked at her curiously; wondering what she was up to. Then it hit him. She turned to him, took a step towards him, sat down gingerly on his lap, and looked at him straight in his eyes. They looked more of a brownish color than red; she had just noticed that.
In one swift movement, she pulled his face towards hers. Her eyes slowly shut as his lips tenderly met hers. His eyes remained wide open for a few moments because he was shocked at her reaction to his statement, but after a few moments, they too, slowly shut. He loved her soft lips. They were comforting somehow, and she felt the same way. Then as suddenly as the kiss had started she locked her tongue with his. Her butterflies grew to the size of birds. She couldn't control that fluttery feeling that lingered in her stomach.
She felt his hands and arms edge around her corset bound waste. He pulled her closer, wanting the kiss to last forever. Her hands worked to the back of his head, becoming entwined in his ebony hair. Then she left her arms dangle around his neck. She too wanted this kiss to last forever. They continued to entertain the kiss for a little while longer. Then Integra broke it off, but very slowly, gently biting his lower lip, and lightly tugging on it as she pulled away.
"That was amazing," Alucard had said to her, in total shock of the moment that they had just shared. He suddenly felt butterflies in his stomach, and noticed that she was smiling gently at him. She was an absolutely awesome sight silhouetted in the moonlight. He wanted her now, even more so now. He had thought of her as an entrancing creature before, but now it was a whole other obsession.
"Thank you, you were impressive as well," she said, a mischievous grin on her face, and a slightly raised eyebrow.
She looked even more tempting when she acted in a teasing way.
"As much as you liked that though, we need to be getting home," she reminded.
"Oh, yes," he said, like he had forgotten that they didn't live there.
She got up, he too, and they walked back to the queen.
"We've had a most wonderful time here, your Majesty, however, we must be getting home," she explained, and the queen simply said her good-bye's, and let them leave.
On the trip home, Integra fell asleep on Alucard's shoulder, and he woke her when they arrived home. She yawned, and was surprised that she had fallen asleep for so long.
"How was the party?" asked Walter, coming up to help Integra out of the carriage, and to greet the two of them.
"It was quite..." Integra started, then taking a swift glance at Alucard said, "interesting."
"Yes," Alucard agreed. "Extremely interesting." He grinned at Integra while Walter was speaking quickly to the driver, and she returned the favor.
"Well, let's get you to bed, Sir Integra," Walter replied to a tremendous yawn. "Would you mind carrying her, Alucard?"
"Not at all," he said, and scooped her up into his arms.
She rested her head against his shoulder, and started drifting off again.
They slowly made their way into the Hellsing headquarters, and into a night of good dreams, and would you believe it: true happiness.
