Two years later...
There was a soft knock on the door. A growl signaled that it was open. Walter came bustling in and found his old companion sitting beside his coffin, so serious and grim, brooding. Walter just chuckled.
"Any changes, Alucard?"
"..." Silence met the wise retainer's ears and this obviously amused him even more. Alucard just couldn't cope with the fact that he felt something for his rebellious fledging. Both were too stubborn to admit it anyway. Walter shook his head, unnoticed by the Great Nosferatu.
"Why won't you just say it, Alucard?" He suddenly said, crossing his arms. It was a rather strange to see Walter in that pose. Alucard's eyes never left the coffin, but he knew that the old vampire could see him very well.
"Hmm?"
"Oh, this is ridiculous! You bloody vampire are more complicated than humans are." Wlater said with an angry-calm voice. He was losing his temper with Alucard's childish nonesene and his denial. Seras wasn't so much of an innocent in that catergory as well. Seeing that the vampire just refused to reply Walter continued trying to reason with the immortal.
"Don't act daft. I know you better." He demanded. The old retainer just couldn't understand why both of them wouldn't want to admit that they have feelings for each other? It made no bloody sense!
"It would do both of you good! Think of Master Nicholas! Would it not be better if he had parents who actally loved each other or parents who live in denial that they don't love each other?"
"Go away, Walter. I'm not in the mood for your philosophical jesting." Alucard replied dully and remained quiet. Walter just gave a deep sigh in defeat.
"Alright. Have it your way." And he exited the dark room. Alucard stared at the face of his fledging, just watching her breathe in deep ragged breaths. Her internal organs weren't fully healed and she was having a bit of trouble breathing. The bandages had been carefully removed and she no longer looked like a mummy. He was glad to see that she was healed, Seras was his fledging after all.
"What were you thinking Police Girl?" Alucard growled at her sleeping form. Of course he never really expected an answer. Just when he sighed softly, Seras's eyes flew wide open, filled with pain and fear. She was jerking and gasping for breath, her hands were clawing at her throat.
She was choking. Alucard turned even more pale and a strange feeling washed over him. A fear of loss. Panic.
The Nosferatu grabbed her hands to stop further self-injury but that didn't stop her from thrashing around violently like a fish out of water. Alucard knew he had to think fast. He had no time to wait for Walter and he was definately not going to call for those useless human phsycians. Alucard gave up the quick thinking and decided to do the first thing that came to mind.
Holding her down firmly with his own body, Alucard attacked her lips and captured them in a intense kiss. When she opened her mouth, the vampire exhaled inside it to give her air. In a few moments her squirming subsided and Seras started to breathe normally. Alucard went to move off of her but that strange thing happened again. His body didn't allowed it.
Since he had thrown himself into the coffin to stop her from thrashing, half of Alucard's slender body (torso more likely) was in the coffin and on Seras while his other half, long legs and all, were twisted in an indescribable position, half-sitting, half-standing on the chair beside the coffin.
Seras kissed back with the same amount of intensity, which surprised her Master. Not that he was complaining much. Without warning, Seras thrust her slender pink tongue into Alucard's mouth and caressed his own snake-like one. Alucard could tell by this that she was defiantly awake.
Once he realized that, all the anger he had before this little episode came flooding back into his being like bees into their hive. With one mentally and physically strong push, the red-clad vampire rolled off her, back into his chair, somewhat gasping for breath.
Seras slowly rose from the coffin, also gasping for air and faced Alucard. She had only an inkling of a smile on her face when she saw how angry he was.
"You stupid, silly idiot!" Alucard roared at her, grabbing her by the shoulders. "What in Lucifer's name were you thinking!? Your foolishness almost got you killed!"He shook her wildly. Seras's eyes were already brimmed with tears while he shook her, his grip on her arms was painful. Finally Alucard let go.
He walked over to the table where Seras's clothes were ready for her when she wakes up. He took the clothing and threw them at her then opened the door. Seras just stared at him, holding the clothes in one hand and her tears were streaming down her face.
"You want to know the reason why? Do you really want to know?" She asked softly, glaring at him the best way she could. Alucard was stone-cold and silent, still holding the door open for her.
"It was because of you. I was and still am so sick of you teasing me, making fun of my perfectly fine combat skills. I saw you as a hero. My hero. And everything I did, you just threw back at my face with a disgusted, disapproving sneer!" While she spoke, Seras got dressed quickly and she was already beside him, standing in the door way.
Feeling very angry with him, she grabbed the dangling tie and yanked him down to her eye-level. He was mildly surprised by this bold move but the surprise vanished in a split second.
"I can't believe I still love you after all that Hell you put me through. I still can't believe I have any hope for you returning the feelings." She hissed, drawing his face closely to hers. She didn't care anymore.
She didn't care if he knew about her feelings now, what good will it do for her? Seras watched as her Master's face grew dark and sinister and he bared his fangs at her accompanied by a feroucious growl. But she ignored the danger signs out of spite.
"You are pathetic." Seras realized one second too late that she had really overdid it this time and now she was going to pay for it. Alucard tugged the tie out of her grip and backhanded her harshly across the face. She gasped and froze, her cheek already red from the blow. everything went quiet, no one moved. Then Alucard broke the silence with his deep thunderous voice.
"You think you can just insult me and get away unpunished?" Alucard said calmly. seras dared not look at him and this enraged Alucard even more. He grabbed her forcebly by her throat and made her look at him while his gloved hand slowly squeezed harder, making her choke and squirm again, clawing frantically at his hand but with no results.
"Is this how you repay me? Your hero? How dare you call me pathetic, you worthless worm of a vampire!"
"B-better to b-be a worm t-then be l-ike you." The young blonde stuttered and gasped, trying to catch some breath. even more angry, Alucard slammed her into the wall opposite of the door. He leaned in closer to her, the room seemed rather darker than usual and more distorted as if it was going to vanish before Seras's very eyes.
"You're testing me, Police Girl..."
"It's...Seras!" She gasped out loud, her struggling was becoming weaker and weaker still. "I shall call you whatever I wish." He snapped back and let go, dropping her to the floor. She grasped her throat and wheezed , sucking in the air as much as she could. She shot a glare at Alucard who was sitting at the throne-like chair near his table.
"I saved your pathetic, worthless life countless of times and you repay me with disrespect and cheek."
"You're a heartless bastard, Alucard. Someone ripped out your heart and that's why you push away everyone that loves you."
"Oh boohoo for me. You're too innocent to be a true midian." He drawled. "And it's Master to you, pet."
Again, he lifted himself off the chair and appeared beside Seras, kneeling so that he could be at equal eye-level.
"Don't underestimate me, Seras. Whether you love me or not, I am still your Master and I shall do with you what I please." Here he leaned closer and nipped at her lips, making the angry vampire girl shiver with desire.
"Sexually..." Alucard licked her lips and played with them with his tongue and teeth, knowing that she was biting back a small moan. Then he pulled away when he felt her enjoy it. "Or otherwise..."
In one smooth fluid motion, he helped her up and returned to his previous position on his chair. His anger has gone away again and so had Seras's. She stood in the middle of the room, looking a tad confused from her Master's mood swing and it made Alucard smile insanely.
"Your bastard chld is calling for you." Alucard dryly informed, snapping the Police girl out of her confusion. Without saying anything she left the rooom, slamming the door on her way out.
"He's yours too, Master"Seras said waspishly in his mind.
10 years later...
"Are you sure this is safe?"
"Of course Uncle Walter! When have I ever been wrong?"
BOOOOOOOOOM!
I was stuck in a coughing fit and smoke was slowly rising from my hair and clothes. The youth beside me grinned sheepishly as I glared at him from behind my cracked monocle.
"Shall I start counting off on my fingers, Master Nicholas?"
"I think there is no need for that Uncle Walter..." Nick shrugged, still grinning sheepishly. I gave a heavy sigh, rubbing my sore back too. "You and your bloody experiments..." I grumbled and started to clean up the mess.
To backtrack a few years, Seras was burnt seriously by the sun. she was in a so-called Nosferatu coma. Her wounds healed eventually and she was the same old girl again. 10 years has passed since that incident. She was only in her coma for two years.
Alucard had to put up with Nick those two wondrous years and it was downright hilarious watching the old immortal idiot struggle with the boy. Alucard was always in a horrible mood, very snappy towards everyone.
Nick gave him quite a ride through Parental Hell but it was still good two years. Whenever I came in to deliver the vampire's dinner, I would find Master Nicholas in Alucard's room, asleep in a chair beside his mother and Alucard on the other side, still awake and crabby from lack of sleep.
"Why don't you go to sleep, old friend?" I had always asked him and he always gave me the same answer.
"If you haven't noticed Walter, Police Girl is in my bed." Alucard replied, gesturing to his fledging sleeping peacefully in the coffin. She looked downright angelic, with that sweet face and her hair spread around her face.
They had taken her bandages off and her burns were tiny scars, still healing but unnoticable. I found the whole thing funny. He just didn't want to admit that he was watching his prescious Police Girl.
"I thought that was what you wanted." And I had left the room with a slightly shocked vampire in my wake. Serves him right.
Alucard never left Seras's side, though he would always find some kind of absurd excuse of why he was always in his room and always late for the briefings and such. Integra had said that it was because he didn't anyone to see that he was worried for his fledging's well-being. Oh, but that was completely understandable. We nearly lost her.
Silly me, reminiscing such unimportant things. My apologies to everyone.
"Walter? Hellloooo?" Master Nick waved his hand in front of me. I guess I might've 'spaced out' as the young-uns say.
"Yes? Needed something?"
"Umm...I just wanted to know where you went there for a second. You weren't on Earth, that's for sure."
I chuckled, he had a nice sense of humor. "Thank you for worrying about an old man like me, Master Nicholas." I patted him on the back and gave him my warm smile. He felt like my own grandson to me. Spending those wonderful years watching him being raised by those two silly vampires was great.
He has grown and changed. 17, charming smile, tall and a handsome devil he was. His blonde hair bouncing around his shoulders. He refused to have it cut even when I threatened to cut it myself. I even gave him a choice; gardening shears or my wires. One of the maids entered the now, blown up lab we were in. She caught Master Nick's eye and flushed red, giving him a flirty smile.
"Hi, Master Nicholas..." She said shyly, keeping her head down. I looked at him then the girl.Oh my, here we go again...
"Hey, Miss Priscilla." He flashed his trademark smile at her and she turned a darker shade of red. I cleared my throat loudly and it made the girl jump. "Ahem."
"Oh! Good day, Walter!" She looked a bit scared. I didn't mean to frighten her but flirting was not permittable while I was present. Kids these days.
"Good day to you too. What is it that you wanted Priscilla?"
"Oh, umm, Sir Integra just asked me to find you and..." Here she paused and Nick's grin grew. "And Master Nicholas."
"You can call me Nick." He said with a flirty wink. Priscilla giggled. I gave a nice punch to his ribs and he winced. "Not now, you flirting monstrosity." I whispered, trying to bite back my laugh.
That boy has meddled with every maid in this entire building! If he was such a ladies catch now, my God, there won't be any pure women left in England by the time he's 30!
"Thank you Priscilla. Can you clean up this mess then? I'm sorry I won't be able to help." I said, already ushering the flirting teenager out the door. The young girl just gave a relieved smile and nodded. "That's alright! I can manage."
Giving her a nod, I left the lab. When we got to Integra's office, Alucard and Seras were already there. Even though Nicholas knew his parents were vampires, he didn't know that he was adopted or that he was a halfling. So I had a bad feeling about this meeting already.
--Normal POV--
When Nicholas say his parents he ran to them and hugged them. "Father! Mom! You're home!"" He yelled happily. Seras was very happy to see him. She hugged him tightly and there was a large smile on her face. Alucard on the other hand, gave him a sort of semi-hug.
Walter noticed that the elder vampire was in a very bad mood and when the retainer took a closer look, Seras's smile seemed forced and unnatural. What was going on?
Integra was stone cold to the lovely family reunion scene. She did not like what she is going to tell her favourite person in this building. After Walter of course.
"Nicholas, could you please sit down?"
"Sure." He took his seat. The room was silent though young Nick was still oblivious to that. He was just happy his parents were safe and at home.
"S'up?" He chirped, running his hand through his thick blond hair. Integra just noticed that half his face was blackened and that his clothes were charred and smelled of smoke.
She glanced at Walter to ask him why was Nick in such a state but the words never left her mouth. The Hellsing retainer was in a similar state of dress, his hair about his face, his monocle cracked and his suit was singed.
"What on Earth happened to you two?" she asked with her mouth slightly opened. From Nicholas she expected some accidents for him, since he was a little accident-prone, but Walter?! Nick's usually large eyes grew larger and he side-glanced at Walter for help. The butler just sighed and gestured to him. "She likes you the most." He just said with a sigh. People expect too much of him.
"But you lived with her longer!"
"It was your bloody experiment." He replied with a grumble. Nick stayed quiet. It was his fault anyway. He turned back to the icy Hellsing Leader and smiled shyly. "I wanted to improve my guns."
"Impove?"
"Yeah--"
"Yes." Integra corrected him.
"Yes." Nicholas repeated, giving a small gulp in the process. "Improve them, make them stronger, more handable."
"What was wrong with the way Walter made them?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all!"
"But...?" Integra urged him to continue, her glare becoming colder by the second. It made the poor boy want to squirm, but he stayed still, unmovable. Those were the perks of living in a top-secret military organization, learning how to act when under the glares of commanding officers and in this case, the leader of this whole organization.
"No buts. I did manage to accomplish something..."
"And what is that?"
"Blowing up the weapons lab." He said quickly and closed his eyes, waiting. Waiting for that second explosion. He didn't have to wait long but the explosion came from the wrong person.
"You WHAT?!" It came from Seras. "You blew up the entire lab? Are you mental!? What the Hell were you thinking?! I'm gone for three days and you manage to blow something UP?!"
"Are all of those questions rhetorical?"
