Hey, I'm a huge Vampire Academy fan, so I thought it's about time to write a fanfic about Romitri and co. This sets after the cabin, Dimitri DIDN'T got turned. I try to put a few of the 'original' quotes and conversation in my story, if it fits.

I'm open for all criticism, and any ideas of you. If you check out my account, you may have noticed that this is my first English story, it's not my main language so I'm sorry if there are any misspellings.

HVasilisalike the first chapter. I try to upload as soon as possible.

(Every character belongs to the brilliant Richelle Mead!)

Rose's Point of View

Dimitri and I just came out of the cabin, hand in hand, two Dhampirs in love with each other but can't show it to the world. Yet.

I can speak for myself when I say, I'm so freaking happy right now that it happened with him. It felt right with Dimitri.

The feeling of happiness and inner excitement about what just happened lasts maybe for 5 minutes until someone's showing up in form as a ghost, my best friend Mason, and in that moment I know something's wrong.

When I look up, I already see The Russian Battle God in action fighting with Strigoi. I can't really put an end to them, I let him fight, knowing exactly he would win, and he would want that his Roza stays safe.

When Dimitri killed these monsters, he turns to me, his expression was filled with worry, and the classic Guardian expression.

Just when the nausea started I knew there are coming a lot more. I look at him, in hope he would understand what I mean. Which he indeed does.

„Rose. Listen to me. Run. Run as fast and as hard as you can back to your dorm. Tell the guardians. Do not stop, no matter what you hear,no matter what you see, do not stop. Not until you've warned the others. Don't stop unless you're directly confronted. Do you understand?"

I just nod in understanding.

„Tell them buria!"

Without a word in return I run, just like he said, not looking back.

3 Weeks later

The Academy is slowly recovering from the attack, a big funeral for all the Guardians we lost, or even Novice and Moroi. The students and staff had 1 week off except Guardians of course, but they didn't let someone leave the school, everyone had to stay at the campus. The novices took up their training after this week, I missed combat class during the week off, guess I learned so much from Dimitri than only fighting and running away. Even I did laps in my week off, and sneaked in the gym to train alone. And guess what, I got caught by Dimitri, every single time. It was like he stalked me, or had a camera installed by the entrance of the gym and the monitor in his room.

Getting up so early is still torture, but

A) I will see Dimitri in 20 minutes

B) The first training session since the attack

C) The first time just the two of us again.

D) A Sexy Russian, what should I say more?

I jump out of bed at the thought of my mentor. After putting my clothes on and grabbing my bag I run to the gym.

Like always I prepare myself mentally before entering. Taking deep breaths. In - Out , In - Out. He really doesn't know which affect he has on me.

„You're late, as usual."

„Yeah yeah, I got lost on the way to the gym. I need a GPS."

„You got lost? The way to the cafeteria you remember even with closed eyes. Am I right?"

„Hey!!! I love the donuts there and by the way, you like my curves, if I remember correctly."

„I do Roza." He answers while giving me a little kiss on the cheek. „Come on, we're doing laps. For the start. I'll run with you."

And I remember every single detail of this night, every touch, every kiss, every word he said, I still get goosebumps only thinking back of it.

Flashback:

"I love you, Roza." after another kiss he kept on speaking "I'll always be here for you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Dimitri just said these wonderful 3 words to me, with my Russian nickname and his accent it was even better. "And I won't let anything happen to you." I promised him. "I love you."

Flashback End

Back in my reality I ask him with a little smirk on my face. "You really came out of your snail shell, didn't you?"

"What do you mean Rose?"

"You know exactly what I mean Comrade. I never expected you to lose control in the cabin three weeks ago, saying wonderful things, or now, a kiss on the cheek and confessing you like my curves."

"We're wasting time with this conversation Rose. Let's start." And with that we leave the gym and doing our laps.

God, I'm living for these little moments I murmur to myself.

Dimitri Point of View:

Seeing her in black leggings with a red tank top isn't so easy. I always loved this leggings and the tight tank top, she looks so beautiful and I need to be professional again and be her mentor, how should I manage that after what we had done? After I saw her naked, kissed her beautiful body, and took her virginity. How should I keep on going the normal way, with what I said? I confessed Rose my love for her. I don't regret it, but since then I have nothing else in my mind than her saying I love you.

Running after her in training is hard, I'm struggling to keep my eyes from her butt. Normally I'm fine with running in silence, but this time I need to distract myself, I wish she would speak. She won't speak, she knows me too well. Rose turns herself to me, still keeps on running, but backwards.

"Rose, turn around. You'll regret this."

"I'm used to this kind of running already. Let me have some fun while training."

"No, I don't want you to carry to the infirmary." I say with a firm voice and a carrying expression.

"Fine, keep on staring Comrade." She grins as she turns back. I asked myself How could she know that I stared at her butt? Does this incredible woman has eyes on the back of her head?

Back in the gym we head to the dummies and I hand her a training stake, curious what she will do with this one, stake one of the dummies? Maybe the one with red hair, this one looks like her mother. Janine Hathaway does not win an award for the best mother of the world, but at least she cared for her back in Spokane. Rather not find out which one she wants to stake. Rather sparring with her, can't be that dangerous, the same like 3 weeks ago before the cabin. I am still proud.

Flashback:

Rose took down all three Guardians, Yuri, Jean, and me. After our fight spoke Yuri to her

"Well done, You took down all three of us. That was textbook perfect." I had the same opinion than Yuri, and was so proud of my Roza, but couldn't admit it in front of everyone so I only said "The student surpasses the teacher, or stakes rather."

Flashback End

"Attack me, Rose. You have your stake, use it," My equal doesn't wait for a second invitation to attack me. She immediately makes her moves, I know which move would come next. She lands a few punches like I do to her, before she pins me on the ground, her on top. Rose sits on my lap, holds my left arm firmly with her left elbow, just in that moment when she wants to stake me, I roll us over and now it is me who is on top. I shouldn't have done that move, perfect position to look in her beautiful brown eyes, and it remembered me from making love to her three weeks ago. I was about to lose control, once again in less than two hours.

I slowly lower my head to her, still holding our gaze. Before I place my lips on hers, whispering "Roza" against them. As we close our eyes I kiss her, and put all my love for her in. She kisses me back, I feel how much she loves me and by then I know it was the best kiss we ever shared so far because to be honest, I don't want it to be the last kiss. I don't have the power to pull away from her, and honestly I don't want to. She doesn't want to pull away either, so our kiss gets hungrier and deeper. We're like two persons struggling from drowning. We hold on each other. I relaxe my grip and my right hand finds the way to her hair. The hair I love so much. She slings her arm around my neck, pulls me even closer to her, if that would have been possible. Breaking this perfect kiss was the last thing on my mind right now. Still got this little voice in my head who whispers 'That's not right, We can't.'

"Rose, normally you don't miss breakfast, what's up?" By this familiar voice I quickly pull away, almost as fast as a Strigoi and nod towards the door. I thank the Lord for Lissa's entrance, I wouldn't have been able to stop otherwise. This woman is intoxicating.

"Lissa.." Rose sighs hardly noticeable "Everything's okay?"

"All fine, come on. Breakfast and Donuts, there are still a few left. You don't believe it but Christian saved you 2. Don't steal my boyfriend." She really didn't noticed that we kissed and I pulled away in the last second. Good thing for sure.

"Liss, I won't steal Sparky, No interest. But, a guy who saves you chocolate glazed Donuts could almost be perfect." my student smiles widely at Lissa and glances one more time back at me "Western, and crappy music, is even better than chocolate glazed Donuts." she murmurs but I still hear it and feel joy, really fighting the urge to pull her in an embrace and kiss her again.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, did I hear correctly? You have someone? Since when? Oh my god, a double date!" Princess Vasilisa is so excited, speaking without even taking a breath. Guess she heard it too.

Rose looks deep in my eyes for a few seconds, before taking the gaze off and turning to her best friend.

"There will be no double date. I'm sorry Liss." Lissa looks disappointed and I have no doubt she is thinking about who it could be. And for me I hope, she won't find out until after graduation, I don't regret anything, but I don't want someone to find out what I feel except for Roza, nor what Rose and I did while I was her mentor. I won't give up on that hope, even if Rose trusts Lissa, what if she will tell her boyfriend? Or spilling it out without thinking? After 2 minutes Vasilisa turns to me, asking me the question I don't want to hear.

"It's you, isn't it? You care so much about her, when she was in the infirmary after the shopping trip, you stayed until she woke up, you didn't wanted to leave her side. The fight with Nathalie, you didn't left her side, in the plane and you insisted to carry her to the infirmary. You called her Roza, in front of everyone, you were so scared and I even saw pain in your eyes when she screamed." Already knowing the reply to that.

I am fucked up, officially. When I say the truth, I'll hurt Rose. When I lie, Lissa will ask Roza hundreds of questions about us and I don't want that for her. What now? Am I the boyfriend, no, it's not legal as her mentor. The age doesn't matter anymore because she's eighteen now. I'm counting the days until she graduates, I guess she does the same.

"Yes, it's me." That's the only answer she gets. As I look at Rose I see happiness in her eyes. I know her well enough to say she was not only happy, she was also a little disappointed or sad. Happiness that I admitted it's me, sadness that I said nothing about if we're in a relationship or not.

Chapter 1 is done of my first Fanfiction written in English :-) Hope you liked it? It's on Wattpad. Same Title.

If you however check it out on Wattpad, you may see that there are more Chapters. For I put 2 chapters in one.
