Drabble:77
POV:Third Person
Dimitri loved that his family loved Rose and that they got along really well. The entire Belikova contingency (and Paul) adored his Roza and she loved them too, just as if they were her own family (Comrade, they are my family, Rose had told him when commented on their closeness). And Rose got along fabulously with his sisters. The older two had fed her stories about his childhood that she could tease him about for the rest of his natural life if she wanted to, and Rose had regaled them with romantic stories about how he loved her and cared for her, which had caused both Karo and Sonya to go 'aww' and pinch his cheeks, much to his embarrassment (though Rose had made up for it, Dimitri had seen to that).
But the friendship between Rose and Vika was different. Those two had really bonded and were always off gossiping and giggling together. Even after Rose and Dimitri returned to Court, she and Vika stayed in touch via regular text messaging and Skype-ing almost every other day. Dimitri was glad for that. He loved that Vika was taking her guardian training more seriously, inspired by Rose and her achievements; and that Rose was taking her role as a role model seriously, and trying to set a good example for Vika (and countless other younger female dhampirs).
So, he loved the bonding between his younger sister and his girlfriend, but he hated certain aspects of it. Take this, for instant. Before, when Dimitri used to come home after duties, he and Rose would have dinner together and unwind (or cuddle, like Christian said) in their living room, watching mindless movies while making out….or retiring to their bedroom halfway through them.
But then, Vika had gone home during vacations and gotten addicted to some British series, and then called Rose and regaled her with tales of its awesomeness till Rose started watching it. That far was good, Rose and Dimitri did watch series together, making out every now and then. But this was different. 10 minutes into the first episode, when Dimitri leaned in to nuzzle Rose's neck, she moved away. She actually moved away! Forget making out, halfway into the episode, she forgot about his existence….kind of. So, here he was now, rejected by his girlfriend because of a damned series. Grumbling, he had gone to sleep, only to be woken up an hour later when Rose had called Vika to squeal and gush over the sheer perfection of the series and some weird-named British actor and his lovely accent, his beautiful cheekbones and his coat (of all things his coat!) and his overall, quintessential awesomeness….for 2 hours….in the middle of the night! The next day, the very same thing happened. And again. And again…..till, Dimitri got frustrated and decided to give the series a shot (also, certain incentives may have offered by Rose as a bribe along with a challenge that said series would test his powers of observation).
So, he took a seat beside Rose, who was almost bouncing with excitement, sure that he'd love it as much as she did. He had only smiled tightly at her before she inserted the DVD and started it. One-and-a-half-hours later, he got Rose to start from the first episode again. As much as he was embarrassed to become so interested in a series (and participate in a surreal frame-by-frame discussion with Rose and Vika), Dimitri knew without a doubt that he was SHER-LOCKED.
Any Sherlock fans amongst you beautiful people here? And yes, I love Benedict Cumberbatch and totally fangirl over his sheer perfection *swoons*
Anyways, thanks for reading and don't forget to review! Cheers!
