Disclaimer: Hellsing isn't mine, crud

I dried up on idea for what happens next, but I wanted to write up a chapter with some fluff in it. I did say this was AxS...

Chapter VI

Another meaningless mission. More meaningless killings. Another meaningless night. Only that's how it started out...

Alucard huffed, blowing his bangs out of his eyes. He felt ridiculous. Being called for a mission even the Police Girl had control of...

His angry thought was interrupted when he thought of Seras. He smiled in spite of himself as he mentally went over her progress. She was doing quite well. Better than he had imagined...

His mind strayed back to the present as he looked down at his torn attire. He began to mend it, but thought, 'Screw it', discarding everything but his pants.

He walked over to his black coffin, fingering the inscription. The bird of Hermes is my name. Eating my wings to make me tame. With a heavy sigh, he lay in it, trying to find sleep. No such luck

Once again, he began thinking about how well Seras was doing. For some inexplicable reason, after their little talk on the roof, Seras had begun drinking the blood Walter brought for her. Then he strayed to a point during the mission that had puzzled him:

He and Seras made for the head freak. Just as they neared, he whipped out a .22 pistol and shot at them, hitting Seras. A split second later Pip had attacked and silenced the scum...

When they were heading back to the vans that would take them to the manor, Alucard pulled Seras aside. "Why didn't you move out of the way?"

She looked at him as if the answer was so obvious. "If I did, it would've hit you." Before Alucard could recollect his thoughts, she joined Pip as he climbed into the back.

The No Life King just stood there, looking after her.

Alucard had noted the frustrated expression on her face. And how beautiful she looked, even in disarray. Where did that come from? Alucard's thoughts were out of control. And he hated it. He was always in control...

But what was wrong with him? Every time Pip was near her, he felt a pang of... what's this? Jealousy? Perhaps a better question was, did he have intimate feelings for Seras? Pfft... Alucard and intimacy... yeah right...

Still, he knew he would have no peace. Drifting from his former position, he walked through the wall, two doors over to Seras's room.


Seras's pajamas consisted of a white, petite spaghetti strapped top and shorts, also white, that came down to mid-thigh. And that was exactly what she was wearing when Alucard came through her wall...

Seras had lately been keeping track of her nightmares in a journal she had kept since her arrival at Hellsing. Seeing how preoccupied she was, Alucard crept up behind her. His fun was ruined when she turned around calmly, smiling sweetly.

"Master, why would you try to scare me when you taught me how to find hidden presences?"

"You actually practiced and got a hang of it that quick? I only taught it to you two nights ago."

"Of course. After all, I am learning from the best."

She didn't get to see Alucard's face soften at her comment because she had turned around to finish writing and finally close her journal. She stood to return her journal to a shelf, but Alucard was blocking her path, sitting in the chair she had just vacated. Suddenly she felt nervous; the only way to get to the shelf was to cross over Alucard's lap. Also, being a klutz, she'd fall towards his exposed chest. She bit her lip, trying to find an alternate solution.

Alucard stared at her face. Well, mainly her lips. Seeing her bite on her lower lip made Alucard wonder how they would feel...

He was forced to stop staring at her when she moved to cross over him. He was tall enough to take up an entire side, not that her room was that big to begin with. Alucard watched as she concentrating on avoiding skin contact, letting her pass the first time. Now, she had to swing her legs over him...again. This time, it didn't go as Seras wanted.

She got one leg over, but just as she was about to continue, his arms encircled her waist and brought her down so that she was indeed, sitting in his lap, in a semi-straddle position. Seras was suddenly conscious of how skimpily she was dressed when Alucard drew her near. She was showing too much skin...

Her body and mind were having miscommunication. She kept telling herself that she was too close to him, but her body wanted to be even closer. As usual, the body won over mind. And was there something else? Lust? Love? She thought of how she had adored him when she first started working with him. The feeling subsided in time, but she always knew he was the only one for her. Did he care for her the way she did for him?

No way. Even if he was undead, he was still a man. And Seras was the only woman in the entire work force, next to Integra. But that was beside the point. Was Alucard capable of loving?

Maybe. Alucard buried his face into her shoulder, inhaling her scent deeply. He kissed up her neck, leaving a hot trail on her skin. Seras felt herself lean toward him, but she didn't dare try and kiss him. That would be grounds for eternal embarrassment. But...Alucard beat her to it.

He lifted her chin, his gloved hand caressing her cheek. Faster than Seras thought possible, his face was just a centimeter away. When she blinked, Alucard finally closed the little space between them, gently pressing his lips against hers, easing her lips apart.

Seras reached her hand into his silky locks, sighing into his mouth. His lips were softer than she imagined. Alucard obviously had some expertise, for Seras had never received a kiss quite as deep and passionate as his...

They were so occupied with pouring their emotions into that one kiss...

that they didn't even notice the old retainer standing in the doorway, jaw on the floor, holding Seras's washed uniform.
