Blood swiftly climbed the stairs toward Vivaldi's room, avoiding any of the guards that he happened to run into. He would have to remind Vivaldi to step up the security... Again. The last time they had met he had told her the exact same thing. As well as the time before that.
Which is the reason I'm here in the first place...
He sighed, sometimes his sister's inability to follow orders could be quite cute; but ninety-nine percent of the time it was just exasperating.
He was the leader of the mafia, and he didn't have time to go about making sure his sister did as she was told. Not that it mattered. After all, she didn't really seem to care about his opinion on what she ought to get done. However, he hoped that since he had come over to her castle instead of ordering her to meet him in his rose garden, she would listen to what he had to say. Or at least consider it. Unfortunately for him, though, neither was likely.
When he finally reached the door to her room, he knocked quietly before calling her name, "Vivaldi? Vivaldi, I'm coming in."
Pushing open the door, he readied himself for his sister to start yelling at him for coming into her castle, even though it really wasn't his fault her security was lax. But instead, he was greeted by a the sight of the little blonde girl, Alice, splayed on his sister's bed.
Forgetting about his sister completely, he felt his whole body go into 'charm mode', which was what always happened every time he met a pretty girl.
He immediately straightened up and fixed his hat. Just in time, to, for no sooner had he prepared himself the tiny girl awoke, rubbing her and eyes stretching her hands above her head, before pulling herself to her feet and climbing off the bed. He also noticed her change of wardrobe, from her ugly, form-hiding sweatshirt to her new, more more attractive dress.
"E-Eh!?" Finally noticing him, she gave a little squeak of surprise and stared at him, "Wh-What are you doing here?!"
He raised his eyebrows at her, enjoying her flustered look, "What am I doing here? A more accurate question would be, I believe, what are you doing here. I don't think I've seen you around here before, have I, miss?"
"B-But you're... you're the one that gave me directions to go here!" She scowled, confused by the fact that she was the one defending herself against him instead of the other way around.
"I did but," The corners of his mouth twitched upward, "I really must say, I didn't expect you to stay this long..." He crossed the room and the three long strides until his face a mere inch from Alice's, "Young lady."
He smirked in satisfaction as the girl's face turned a vibrant shade of red and she quickly backed away from him, her legs pressing into the red bedspread.
She's really quite adorable.
Blood shook off the thought as quickly as it had come; it was completey irrelevant. She was interesting, and that was all there was to it. He would have her, and then when he got bored of her he would throw her away.
He didn't love her. He wasn't into those kinds of feelings. But, despite all of this...
He couldn't deny the fact that he wanted her. Badly.
He took another step toward her, causing her to lean back even farther, her torso now suspended over the bed while the bottom half of her body pressed into the side.
Just one more step and she would fall onto it completely.
Catching a piece of her hair, Blood continued to talk, "Well? Aren't you going to answer my question?"
"U-Uh... Well... Vivi invited me here, so..." Suddenly, she straightened up, obviously trying to seem intimidating. But the fact that she was at least a head shorter than him made it have the opposite effect, "What are you doing here?"
Little did Blood know it, but she mentally added hat-man to the end of her sentence.
"Well, you see miss, I am Vivaldi's younger brother, so it would only make sense that I come here when I wish, no?"
"O-Oh..." And just like that, Alice was embarrassed again.
"S-So..." She was back to being timid again, and a bright red flush coated her cheeks when she realized exactly what kind of position they were in. She tried to not-so subtlety hint that it was awkward by pushing against Blood's chest, but he realized what she was trying to do and, instead of moving, merely smirked bigger.
"Um... Do you have a job?" The blonde haired teen attempted at starting a conversation, not realizing that this was the wrong topic to bring up.
"Why yes, I do." He twirled her hair around his finger, before bringing to his lips, enjoying her little squeak of surprise and her to once again try to move backwards, "But you probably don't wish to know what it is."
"U-Um... Alright." She tried to pull her hair out of his grasp, but he raised his eyebrows at her curiously, which caused her to scowl, "I..." Blood was concentrated solely on her hair, and it didn't seem to her that he was even paying attention to their conversation.
It was beginning to make her angry. Which was exactly why he was doing it, "Cut that out, will you?!" Angrily, she made a final shove at his chest, which was enough to force him to let go of her hair and take a step away from her, but only because she had taken him by surprise.
"Is the young miss upset?" He cocked his head to curiously, his black top hat moving moving slightly.
"Yes! I am! Just... Just stop it, will you?! You're driving me insane!" Realizing that letting him know he was getting to her wasn't the best of ideas, she bit her bottom lip, as if to stop any other words from escaping.
"And just what-pray tell me-am I doing exactly?" Blood new full well what he was doing, after all, making the teen angry was his new favorite pastime. He gave her a little half smirk to illustrate his point.
Then Alice snapped, "You know full well what you're doing, hat-man!"
Blood had been standing perhaps a few feet away from her when she said this, her a little bit away from the bed. But not anymore. For as soon as the words left her mouth, he slowly began to stalk toward her, a cold fury filling his icy blue eyes.
"What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me?" He smiled then, but there was no kindness in it, only anger.
"I-I..." Alice immediately regretted letting her 'special nickname' slip out. She looked around the room desperately, very aware of the fact that she was having to slowly back away from the man- and that she was about to run out of room to back away in.
Her eyes widened with fear as, in one smooth motion, Blood took a few final strides, closing any of the distance she had managed to put between them, and pushed her backwards onto the bed. She let out a tiny mewl of surprise as she fell onto the bed, him on top of her. Noticing that his knees were on either side of her body, pinning her down, she immediately began to blush.
"H-Hey... What are you doing? L-Let me go!" Alice pushed at his chest in vain, he didn't move an inch.
"I asked you a question. And you know I hate repeating myself." He looked angry. And dangerous. Alice figured that it probably wouldn't be the best time to give him a lecture on personal space.
"I-I called you... hat-man." She sighed in defeat and relaxed slightly, before turning away, refusing to meet his eyes. Her hands were still pushing against his chest, but less insistent now that she knew no amount of shoving was going to sway him.
"...Did you, now? What interesting... nickname. Is there a particular reason that the young miss is being so rude?" She turned toward him slightly, still not making eye contact, her lashes shading her teal eyes from view.
"I was not being rude! You deserved it, and you know it!" Her eyes flashed indignantly, and she took her hands away from his chest long enough to cross then over her own in a childish gesture. Blood smirked slightly, though still furious.
She took the bait. Stupid girl.
"Deserved it? How?" He cupped her chin, forcing her to look up into his still stormy blue eyes. She swallowed.
"Y-You were... invading my personal space!" She uncrossed her so that she could attempt to pry his hand off her chin angrily, "Exactly like you are now!"
"Hmmmmmm..." Blood didn't reply right away, instead he grabbed her wrists, twisting her arms back so that they were pinned above her head. Her teal eyes widened, and she twisted back and forth in his grip angrily, trying to force him into releasing her.
"Is this what you mean? Does this bother you?" He leaned forward until there was barely a centimeter of space between them, purposely invading on her personal space. Alice, inevitably realizing that he was doing it on purpose, glared at him furiously, trying to make herself seem threatening. Which was difficult, considering the fact that she was being forced to look up at him and couldn't move her arms.
"Yes! So let go!" She snapped, once again attempting to break free of his iron grip.
"Oh? It does? Well then, does this bother you?" He captured both of her wrists into one hand, and slowly slid the other one down the length of her body, smirking as she blushed and gasped, squirming beneath him.
"Of course it does!" She yelped, thrashing vigorously beneath him, "You know what? Just get off me!"
Blood ignored her completely, concentrating instead on how red her face was getting, "If just that bothers you, I wonder... What about this?"
And suddenly, he was kissing her, his cool lips moving furiously over hers, almost harshly, as his hands tightened their hold on her wrists. Alice froze in surprise, her eyes widening.
And suddenly she was back with her ex again, him smiling at her, telling her that he loved her...
But then Blood's fingers dug into her wrists, dragging her back to reality and causing her to flinch.
What it he doing?!
She stayed still for a moment, as if she thought if she didn't acknowledge him, if she pretended he wasn't there, he would just disappear.
But Blood didn't enjoy being ignored.
He was already angry enough at her for revealing her little nick name, and he wasn't in the mood for anymore resistance than she had already given.
Alice attempted to remain perfectly still as he kissed her harder, but it was difficult. It was even more of a challenge considering it was her first kiss- and of course the fact that she was pinned to the bed and utterly helpless.
Suddenly, his free hand tangled into her hair and pulled, hard. Alice gasped and began to struggle, which made Blood smirk and press her head upwards to deepen the kiss. His free hand yanked at the her dress, causing a little squeak to escape her mouth and-
Did he just bite me?!
Alice was beginning to panic, she wasn't at school anymore- she was at Vivaldi's house. Which was, apparently, also Blood's. No one would find her here...
With that last desperate thought, she stopped struggling for a moment to gather her strength before bringing her knee up and viciously jabbing him in the groin. Blood yelled and his grip on her wrists loosened, allowing her to slip out from under him, kicking him as she did so. She swiftly rolled off the bed, standing up and watching him warily.
If Blood had been angry before, he was now furious.
If his eyes had been like fire before, they were now like ice; cold, hard, and unforgiving.
"Well well... I hadn't any idea that the young miss was such a slut." Alice flinched back as if he had slapped her. Out of all the horrible names she had been called... That wasn't one of them. No matter what people had accused her of, rightly or wrongly, she had never ever been accused of being... intimate with a guy.
She glared at Blood- no, hat-man, furiously, her teal eyes boring into his, "I am not a slut! You were the one who was... was..."
"Was what?" He raised an eyebrow as if he were bored with her, causing her fists and teeth to clench.
"Invading my personal space!"
Blood grinned and, taking a step toward the girl, began to form a snappy retort when Alice-fed up with him-suddenly turned toward the door, "You aren't even worth my time, hat-man. I'm leaving. Tell Vivi I said-"
"Tell Us what?"
The two whirled around to see the queen herself crouching angrily in the windowsill, which was the means by which she had apparently climbed in, with her folded crossly over her chest, glaring at them both.
"And why is Our stupid little brother here? We did not ask for him to come!"
Blood sighed loudly, before toward the door, sensing that it was about time for him to leave, "Sneaking in here was too easy. You really ought to upgrade the security."
Vivaldi frowned, "We already knew that!"
The Mafioso paused in mid-step before turning and tossing a grin over his shoulder, "Then I had no reason to come here. Oh, and-" when he reached where Alice stood he paused for a moment, still smiling but there was a hidden emotion in his eyes... Anger? "Goodbye, little whore."
She stiffened at his words, but met his gaze unflinchingly, "Goodbye, hat-man."
Suddenly, his expression seemed to change. Instead of being completely fake, the corner of his mouth twitched upward every so slightly, "Fare enough." he said, before turning on his heel and walking out the door.
Vivaldi sighed loudly, "Good riddance! We are glad he left! We dislike him very much! If he did anything to Our Alice, he will pay! He-!"
"Right, right," Alice interrupted, "I just have one question... Why did you come in through the window?"

Oh GOD. That was IMPOSSIBLE! I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this, in case you decide to go back and over-analyze the kissing seen, but I have absolutely NO idea how to write that kinda stuff and I basically just based it off whatever fanfics/books I've read... But at random times while writing that seen, I just BURST OUT LAUGHING really loudly and I though I was gonna have to get high on candy to be able to write it. Or kiss a guy...probably the candy. Oh, and for those going WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS CHAPTER JUST BLOODXALICE?! The answer is no, technically it was not... I had to have a reason for Blood to hate Alice and I needed a at least SOME entertainment for you guys LOL... Oh well.
