Empty Room With A Song

by death-in-the-orchard

Alexander Anderson, the high school senior, quarterback, rich kid; clashes with the withdrawn, troubled teen who goes by the name Hell Dog or Alucard on the streets and by Vlad at school...here is their struggle to survive. Note: This is not yaoi.

Vlad wanting to play with Integra's gun:

"Oh, come one, Chief. It's Christmas."
"Santa doesn't give children weapons."
"You're Santa?"

"No."

"Well, then you're fine. You can let me see it now."
Anderson cuts in. "If he gets to hold it, I do too."
"Since WHEN have you been interested in guns Alexander?"
Silence. Integra fumes.
"GIVE ME YOUR LAPTOP RIGHT NOW! YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING UP GUN SITES HAVEN'T YOU?" Cools down a bit when she sees her son's frightened expression. She sighs. "Anyway, it's about time for my monthly internet history check, Alexander. No porn, no guns, and no Lady Gaga."

Sorry...I just liked this. Not part of the story, but it's good for a short laugh. ^w^ Lady Gaga is not good for children...or for Catholic teenage boys.
