Chapter V: First Date

Sir Integra Hellsing could not believe the report. Nor could she believe that Sol Aries Helios had survived the night.
She attributed the whole incident to luck.
But that did not ease her suspicions about him.
"For a klutz, he has done admirably in his duty," Alucard said in a tease as he phased into Hellsing's office. Hellsing merely gave him a snort and reread the report.
"Where is he?" she asked. The vampire chuckled and disappeared into the shadows.
"He is watching the sunrise," his voice faded as he disappeared, leaving Sir Integra Hellsing alone with her thoughts.

Sol sighed as the sun came up. He always liked sunrises and sunsets. But time in between them are hell in his eyes. Wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, he went back inside, only to be stopped by the smiling Walter.
"Your Lancaster will be ready in a few days, Master Sol," the steward said and Sol only bowed in response. Walking away, Walter couldn't help but notice a faint smile in the young man's lips.
Celes Victoria noticed this exchange as she stood at the stairway leading to the dungeons. What was Lancaster? She asked herself as she looked at him.
Then Sol noticed her and smiled. He walked towards her still holding that smile which made her feel lightheaded.
"Hi," he said.
"Good morning," Celes smiled at him. For a while nothing was said. They merely looked at each other, contented just at each other's company. Then, Sol took a deep breath and swallowed.
"Are you free tonight?" he asked. Celes blinked in surprise. She was not expecting this.
"If there is no call, yes. Why?" she asked curiously.
I... ah...," Sol searched his pockets while he still looked at her. "I knew I had it somewhere," he said. Suddenly, with a flick of a wrist, two tickets appeared in his hand. "Here it is. There's a production of "Phantom of the Opera" tonight and... well... seeing that there are two tickets..."
"Yes?" Celes smiled as she prodded. She knew that Sol was gathering great courage just to talk to her. And she found him cute as he fidgeted for the right word.
"I was wondering of you would go out with me tonight," Sol said in one calm sentence. He said it with out a stutter and without pause. Celes also noticed that his heart had stopped as he waited for her answer.
"I would love to," she said. She also heard his heart best again and he gave a sigh of relief.
"Great," he smiled as he walked towards her. "It's.... formal. And we leave at seven..." Sol suddenly lost his steeping and slipped towards the depths of the dungeon. Celes gasped in concern as she saw him tumble on the stairs. She heard him grunting as he rolled over each step. Finally, he stopped at the end of the steps.
"Are you okay?" Celes asked. She heard him groan in embarrassment as he gave her a thumbs up. Smiling at his plight, she then descended the steps to help him up.
"You should really be careful," she said as she pulled him up. Sol was surprised at strength but did heed much attention.
"I try," he smiled as he dusted his uniform. "Maybe that's why our boss wants to get rid of me."
"That's not true," she was appalled at what he had said.
"Then why did she send an inexperienced member of the team to the point?" he asked but shook his head. "Never mind. Seven?" he smiled.
"Seven," she nodded in agreement. Sol smiled as he climbed the stairs. Celes watched him as he disappeared at the top of the steps. But not before walking into one of the suits of armor in display.
Celes sighed and shook her head.
***
The sun was beginning to set in the horizon when Sol took out from the garage a silver Aston Martin that belonged to his mentor. Walter had maintained it throughout the years as a favor. And Sol thanked him greatly for this.
Wearing a black tux, he looked suave and cool. But he felt the opposite. He was actually nervous as hell. He never had been to a date before. And not with a woman like Celes Victoria.
There was something about her he could not place. Nor does he try. He just accepted what came in his direction and it happened that she came along.
Then, the woman in his thoughts walked out the door.
Sol, was speechless. Celes was wearing a red velvet dress that hugged her body tightly. A slit that traveled to her mid thigh made it possible for her to walk. Her heels made it look like she had more legs than she really has.
Al he could do was swallow.
"Good Evening, Mr. Bond," Celes teased. Sol blushed as he gazed at her. He never saw anyone looked so beautiful.
But her joke could not be left unchallenged.
"It is not my fault my mentor has some weird taste," he smiled as he opened the door for her.
"Thank you," she said as she entered the vehicle. "This is elegant," she smiled. "I would consider your mentor weird if he uses a hearse for his daily use."
Sol entered the car and started the engine.
"It's in the garage," Sol sighed. "Walter said Master Meteo blew the engine trying to get to a family before a pack of vampires attacked them."
"Did he reach them?" Celes asked but felt that something bothered him.
"He found them alive."
"And the vampires?" she asked.
"They were killed by a hunter who got there before him," Sol smiled and looked at her. "Shall we?" With Cele's smile as a signal, Sol pulled out of Hellsing manor.
***
Sire Integra Hellsing watched the Aston Martin pull out and disappear into the city. All the while, wondering if she should have not let them go.
It was a night of a full moon.
And it was a night when vampires crave for blood.
