A Day at the Fair with the Volturi Masters

Summer Fun with the Volturi masters series

Volturi masters x Reader

oooooooooooooooooooo

When you were younger, you'd look forward to the State Fair every Summer. There were the rides, the games, and the unhealthy food. When you heard about a fair coming to the Pisa area, you asked Aro if you all could go so you could share your youthful experiences.

Aro asks you if it can be done in a day, and you assure him it will take less time than the baseball game since it's here in Italy. You try to make it sound like fun, but Aro's curiosity is what cinches the trip. You agree to drive while the masters enjoy the ride.

You thank all the masters for letting you get out to enjoy some fun. You wouldn't mind going out alone, but know they would never allow you to go so far without protection, and they like providing that. They're learning a lot from you about modern humans. Perhaps in time you wonder if they'll tire of these trips and allow Felix or Demetri to go with you instead.

Once you've parked the car, you get out and wait for the masters. Reaching the Midway, you feel the excitement of the music and smells and lights that is the fair. The Ferris Wheel looms in front of you. Why does it seem taller now than when you were child?

"Do you wish to ride that?" Aro asks. He has seen nothing like it.

"Yes, but don't make me ride with Caius. He'll rock the basket and then we'll fall. No biggie for him. He's impervious to damage, or so I assume. If I fall, I go splat."

Caius makes a face at you, laughing low as if everything you said were true. "Our little human is somewhat of a coward then," Caius remarked teasingly. It just made you want to punch him on the arm, but that would hurt you more than him.

"And Aro, you will be so curious about everything while going round and round, you'll ignore me for the most part. I think I want to ride with Marcus. He'll sit quietly and let me hold onto him."

"If you wish to ride with Marcus, that's fine with us, my dear," Aro says. "But I want to ride with you first." He stares at you, unblinking, his head slightly tilted, something you've learned means he won't take no for an answer.

You look to Marcus who nods at you, giving his consent to linger until you and Aro are done.

You both stand in line, waiting for the baskets to be emptied and reloaded with new riders. When your basket arrives and you are allowed onboard, you and Aro sit opposite one another.

Aro settles in place in the basket, giving you a side glance that you catch and turn to give the vampire a smile. "My dear, are you happy with us?"

Surprised at the question, you answer truthfully, "Yes, Aro, I am. You've been kind and generous to me since i stumbled into this place. I feel safe and protected here. I'm also enjoying sharing human experiences with you all. Is there a reason you're asking me such a question? Do you doubt my loyalty to you all?"

"Not at all. It's just that I've noticed you give Marcus a great deal of attention."

You wonder why Aro is so concerned to whom you give your 'attention'. "Is there a problem? He seems to like me, but if he came to you to ask you to talk to me..."

"You misunderstand, my dear. I like that you appreciate our Marcus. I wonder, how much do you care about him?"

You inhale, worried about where this line of questioning is going. Why would Aro be concerned? "I love you all, you know that. You're intelligent and very gracious when I ask questions. I've learned a lot from you. You're all attractive as hell and you're all..." You blush pink, making Aro grin. "...wonderful lovers. But when I'm with Marcus, he's like a warm blanket on a chilly day. Besides, you and Caius have your mates. Marcus has no one. I guess I feel protective of him."

"As he does you, my dear. I think you may have noticed." Aro looked around the fair when the basket stopped at the top.

You think about Aro's words. How do you feel about Marcus? You love him, but are you in love with him? You remembered his touches, his kisses, and how they set you on fire that day at the park. Now you wonder if you two were alone in his bedroom, with no one else around, what would it be like. Would it be all the sweeter, just the two of you. Oh god, now you're just giving Aro more to read.

"Dear one, you seem lost in thought. I didn't mean to distress you in any way."

"Aro, can we just let things go as they are, and if Marcus lets me know that he...wants more, then he and I can discuss that. Alone."

Aro smiles. "Of course. You are a treasure to us all in any case." He leans over and kisses your cheek, then holds your warm hand in his cold one. The ride begins again, and your stomach is left upstairs as the basket drops toward the ground before heading back up and around again. You laugh from the sensation, and Aro laughs with you.

When your turn is done, and the ride attendant lets you out of the basket, you both walk down the ramp to the waiting masters.

"I didn't know playing kissy-face was part of the ride, Aro," Caius says, one brow raised.

"Caius, where ever did you hear that term," you ask, astounded he knows any modern slang, as old as he is.

"I want to ride with you, so we can do that too," he demands.

You walk up to him and place your hands on his cool face. You lean in and kiss him deeply, your lips parted. When you step back, a sigh leaves your lips.

Taking this as a challenge, Caius grabs your hand and cuts the line to hop into the next basket. You give the attendant a look of apology and get in, sitting across from Caius.

You look back at Marcus and shrug, but he smiles, knowing Caius longer than you have. You point a finger at your ride partner, telling him he'd better not rock the basket, or he may end up with vomit on his shoes.

"That's not very romantic, dear one." He puts an arm around you and draws you closer, but just before he kisses you, Caius hears Aro down below ordering him to let you go.

"It's not like I'm holding her hostage, brother."

To you, it's strange to hear these two speaking with one another as if they were talking to themselves. She could barely hear Aro at all.

Caius pouts while you laugh. "I still love you," you tell him, drawing a smile from him.

When the ride is over, you want to take advantage of your companion's vampire strengths.

You walk down the lines of games, and eventually see a stuffed animal you want. It's a giant gorilla, dark brown, with soft and fluffy fur. "One of you has got to play this game. Your hand-eye coordination is perfect, and your strength would take down every one of those bottles."

"Is that the goal, to knock down all the bottles?" Aro asks.

"Yes! If you knock down a total of 10 bottles, I win...that," you say, pointing at the gorilla.

Caius scoffs. "You want that horrid thing!"

You protest because you love large stuffed animals. "It's not horrid. It's looks very comfy, and something nice to hug at night."

Caius smirks. saying, "If you want something to hug at night, I'll volunteer."

You glare at Caius in mock anger. "You're hard and cold, Caius. It's not the same as a soft, warm, animal-shaped...toy thing."

You look up at Marcus, who is staring at you, forcing you to look away. Your cheeks suddenly feel warm. When Caius and Aro walk toward the game booth, you whisper so low, you hope only Marcus will hear you. "There are other things I wouldn't mind hugging," is all you say, not even looking at him standing behind you. You start to head for the game booth to join the masters, feeling a cool hand lightly rest on the small of your back.

Caius knocks over the requisite number of bottles, winning easily. You point at the gorilla so the booth attendant can pick it off the top of the booth. He hands it to you, congratulating you and Caius. You give the blonde vampire a kiss, thanking him.

You all continue to wander the gaming area, until Aro stops in front of a booth.

"So, what is the goal of this game," Aro asks, examining another booth.

"See those balloons. You try to hit them with these darts. You get three tries. It's not impossible, but the darts need to be pointed just so to pop the balloons. The heads are probably dulled, so there again, strength helps.

"Too simple," Caius growls.

"Yeah, for you. With your hand-eye coordination, your aim can't miss."

Both Caius and Aro give it a try, winning you a beautiful blue vase and a purple velvet cushion you decide would look good on your bed.

Marcus prefers standing behind you, both hands on your shoulders. You can feel his cool breath on your head, giving you goosebumps.

You spy a booth selling food, and cry for joy, seeing ice creme. Pints of the cold treat in every flavour tempt you. "I'll be right back," you tell the masters. You pick out a pint of Cookies and Creme, grab a plastic spoon, and begin to eat the the ice creme. The masters watch you with curiosity. "Alright, maybe I'm prepping for the day I no longer get to eat real food. Sue me." You take a large scoop of the ice creme on your spoon, and eat most, but some is left so you use your tongue to lick off the remaining ice creme.

You look up at Caius, who is staring at you, his eyes darkening to crimson. "What?" you ask, your spoon held in mid-air. He takes a step closer to you, a grin on his flawless face. "Aro!" you call out.

"Brother!" Aro says, scolding the blonde vampire.

"I meant nothing," he tells you. "It's just that your tongue would be better suited licking something else."

You blush furiously, uncomfortable with the sexual innuendo Caius often teases you with. It's not that it offends you, but you never know when or if he's being serious. The masters are all beautiful men, and they often set your mind to daydreaming, but you prefer to be more of an assistant to them, not a sexual plaything.

"Yes, well, when you taste like Cookies and Creme..." You wink at him and turn back to the fair, looking for something else you want to enjoy.

Your little group wanders around when you come across an insignificant ride all fair midways seem to have, the Haunted House. You throw your empty ice creme pint in a trash container and turn to the masters, "Who wants to ride with me?"

"What is this, my dear?" Aro asks you.

"it's supposed to scare people, make them jump and scream."

"We can do that," Caius says proudly sneering. "Do you know how many humans I've made scream?"

You take his arm and walk with him. "I imagine it's been hundreds, thousands even. But this is fun screaming, not fear screaming. Do you understand the difference?"

"Hmm, doesn't seem fun screaming would be much fun for me."

Marcus is suddenly at your side. He gives the gorilla to Caius to hold while you're on the ride. "Let us go on this together while Aro teaches Caius the difference between scaring humans and killing them." Marcus takes your hand and heads to the ticket cage for the so-called Haunted House ride. He buys two tickets and leads you to the waiting car that rumbles along the old track, breaking through the double-door entrance and into the dark building.

Even though you know you're not afraid, you still hate being startled when people jump out at you. "Now Marcus, please remember if someone jumps out at us, they're just part of the show. Do not attack anyone."

You think you hear a low chortling coming from Marcus, and turn to look up at him. When his arm encircles you, you smile and nestle against him.

The car moves forward into the darkness, fake skeletons and stuffed monsters all around you. "You know, Marcus, since I've met you and the other Volturi, I find I'm not scared of monsters anymore."

"Is that so, child?"

"Yes, absolutely. I'm more frightened of a human with a gun than any of you."

"If you did not know us personally and met us on a dark night, would you be afraid then?" Marcs asked, curious.

"I'd be afraid...that you'd kill and not change me."

He let out a laugh and tightened his arm around you. You love to hear his laugh since it tells you Marcus is feeling free to enjoy life again. He has not yet told you it's because of you.

The car turns a corner and you find yourselves trying to fend off fake but entangling cobwebs. You laugh in a simple amused way, but wish you could just talk to Marcus uninterrupted by the ridiculous props eager to eat you. You hear screams in the distance and wonder if someone was actually being killed since this place is as far from scary as it could possibly be. But then with Marcus beside you, you have no need to be afraid of anything.

You gather your courage and ask the tall master, "Marcus, if you don't mind me asking, what are your feelings for me? I know how Aro feels about me, and Caius, well the less said about him, the better. I mean I love you all, even Caius. But..."

Before you can say another word, you feel Marcus' cold hand on your chin, turning your face toward him. He leans in to kiss you, his fingers on your cheek while his hand holds your chin. When he pulls back, his thumb brushes across your lips.

Marcus sits back, his arm resting on the outer side of the car, his other arm still around you.

You peer up at him in the darkness, and even though you can barely see his expression, you feel his is one of self-satisfaction. You smile and lean into his cool body, one hand resting on his thigh.

The car breaks through the exit doors and swings around the track to sit outside once more. Aro notices you and Marcus seated in the car, then watches his brother get up, holding his hand out to you. He smiles at the visible sparks between the two of you and nods to himself.

You feel suddenly very tired. The kiss from Marcus made you want more, but when the ride ended, it's as if you shut down and simply wanted to sleep.

"It is time to return home, brothers. Our little human seems to have faded, energy-wise, and needs her rest." Marcus holds onto to you, feeling picking you up in his arms would not look seemly in front of all these humans. When you all reach the car, Aro decides he will drive back to the castle. Marcus slides you into the back seat, and lets you fall against him, your hands snuggling under your chin while you attempt to nap. Caius passes the hairy gorilla back to Marcus, who sets it aside. He'd rather you be hugging him at the moment.

You nestle close to him, letting his sweet scent lull you to sleep.
