I don't own VA.

Vampire Academy.

Dimitri and Rose.

Gym.

I was so tired. My arms ached. My legs ached. Even my back ached.

"Dimitri, can we stop now?" I asked for maybe the millionth time.

"Rose." He sighed in exasperation.

I groaned. "Please."

"No."

"Dimitri." I grumbled.

"Rose, please." He was in full mentor mode. "We didn't practice this morning. And you still have a lot if things to learn. We don't have much time. Your field tests are going to start soon and you-"

I cut him off. "Fine. At least give me a break for five minutes." I did my best puppy eyes.

He sighed, in defeat this time. "Not a second more than five minutes, okay?"

"Thank you, comrade." My arms hung almost limply at my sides. I walked to the benches and sat down. Pulling about a hand towel from my bag, I wiped my face and neck.

Dimitri sat down next to. "Pass the water bottle."

"Admit it, you are tired too." I said as I handed him the bottle.

"I am not." There was a slight smile playing at his lips, his eyes seemed to shine. Damn, he was gorgeous.

I didn't even have to energy to say a witty remark. Instead, I just shot him an incredulous look.

The door opened suddenly. Alberta and a very angry looking Stan came in. Stan's clothes were dripping with water. There was paint on the front of his shirt. There was blue and yellow. Even half of his face was covered with red paint.

I snickered and turned to look at Dimitri. He was trying hard not to grin.

"See, Rose is here." Alberta said.

Stan scowled. "It must have been her friends. She-"

"Rose hasn't gotten out of my sight since lunch, Guardian Alto." Dimitri said swiftly.

It was a lie. But hey, I wasn't complaining.

Grumbling, Stan turned and left. Alberta looked at me sharply once. I shrugged.

She nodded to Dimitri and followed Stan out.

"It was pretty impressive, Roza. I didn't even realise when you managed to pull that off." Dimitri said.

I grinned. He called me Roza and didn't even seem to disapprove. I wondered if he would say anything if I started to jump around.

"Eddie needed some cheering up."

"I think you cheered more people than just Eddie." he said.

"Including you?" I asked after a moment of silence.

He smiled, the one that made me feel tingly inside, "Including me."

"Cheered enough to let me go?" I asked. Might as well give it a shot.

"Don't push your luck." He shot me his signature look. "But let's do something that'll make you happy."

"You make me happy, comrade." I said. My voice came put low, making my intentions clear.

"I was going to say, let's spar. But well." he shrugged.

I looked at him. My mouth hanging open. "Are- are you serious?"

His face was suddenly close, oh too close. "What do you think?"

Automatically, my arms went around his neck.

"Who are you and what have you done to my Dimitri?" I said just before I kissed him.

Dimitri is out of character. I know. Well, I have wanted to write something like that for so long. And unanatilla, I'll try to write one with them dancing. No promises though. For some reason I just can't imagine Dimitri dancing to an upbeat song. I just can't.

Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing.

See you soon.
