Chapter Eight: Tension
It’s been a week since the night club and there is still an awkwardness in the air between you and Alucard. All either of you can think about is how he said he’s your boyfriend. But the awkwardness has seemed to make your training with one another more intense. Both of you don’t know how to deal with the feeling so it turns into anger and resentment even stronger between the two of you. But there is also another feeling both of you have that neither of you can figure out what it is.
Your current training with him has to be the most intense one yet. You roll across the ground to dodge one of his bullets then stand back up, getting a headshot in. But somehow the whole fight becomes a blur until you find yourself on top of him, straddling his chest and ready to stab a knife through his head when you feel his large hand tightly grip your thighs. They linger there for a moment longer than they usually would and you both could sense the tension in those few seconds before he tosses you off of him. Flinging you a few feet away before standing back up and grabbing his gun.
Alucard swiftly moves over to you and puts his foot on your chest to hold you against the ground as he holds his gun right above your head as if he’d shoot you point blank right then and there. But instead he only smirks and praises you for your power, “you’re getting stronger little hunter, I’m impressed.”
“Get your foot off of me,” you squirm beneath him as you try to get free. Something inside you doesn’t feel right after him holding you like that and you wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.
Alucard removed his foot and let you off the ground. You immediately walk away, trying to get your mind straight once again. What was he thinking in that moment he was holding your hips? You wonder. What were *you* thinking in that moment? It felt… nice. You shake your head to get that thought out of your mind. You refuse to let lustful thoughts of him plague your mind. You remind yourself that he’s the enemy.
“Hey,” Seras snaps you out of what scenes your mind was about to play between you and Alucard.
You look over at Seras and smile, “hey, we still on for tonight?”
“Of course!” Seras smiles and walks with you back to your room. You two are going to get manicures and pedicures done around 8 pm since the sun will be down by then. You’ve chipped your fingernails to high hell, so it’ll be nice to have them fixed. You'd like to go to a professional
“Let me get a shower and take a quick nap and then we can get going!” You say with a smile grab a change of clothes out of your dresser.
==========
Just as promised you get a shower and a quick nap then head out with Seras to have your girl’s night. You’ve never had your nails done besides normal nail polish so getting gel on them is a whole new thing to you. Seras also suggests a haircut but the only person you trust to cut your hair the way you like it is yourself since you’ve trained yourself and can cut your hair like a professional.
“What color are you getting?” You ask Seras as you browse all the different colors. You’d be lying if you said it wasn’t a bit overwhelming since this is your first time.
“I’m thinking a dark green,” Seras says and picks out the exact color she wants without hesitation.
You chuckle, “Pip’s favorite color.”
Seras’ cheeks flush red because you’re right, it is his favorite color and that’s exactly why she’s choosing it.
You couldn’t help but laugh again and spot this really pretty shimmery red, “fancy.”
“You should pick that one,” Seras says and you shrug, picking it because it was really pretty.
It didn’t take long for you and Seras to be called back to get your pedicures done. You feel weird taking your shoes off and letting a stranger touch your feet and when you visibly grow anxious. Seras with a soft smile reassuringly rubs your shoulder to calm you down, which works. You know you’re not alone in case something goes down, which it most likely won’t but you’re still on high alert regardless. You’re always on high alert, you can’t remember the last time you fully relaxed.
After dealing with the pedicure you decide you’re never getting one of those again because you got uncomfortable with the poking and prodding they did to your toes.
When you get the manicure you have to be careful not to let your reflexes take over when they start using the tools on your hands. Seeing the tool that cuts your cuticle made you want to snatch your hand away but you did good.
“Okay, that wasn’t so bad,” you admit to Seras after you two leave the nail salon. “But I’m never having them touch my feet again.”
“That’s understandable,” Seras chuckles and begins walking to the mall. You follow for a few blocks but then you stop.
“Wait,” you say as you get an eerie feeling. When Seras looks over at you with a confused look you duck into an alley, pulling her into it with you. You whisper, “I think we’re being followed.”
“Are you sure?” Seras whispers back, though she trusts your instincts.
After a few moments a man appears in front of the alley with a crooked grin, sharp fangs on display. His tone is light and airy as he says in a playful tone, “hello ladies, how has your night been?”
You look at Seras with a smirk and she steps back, giving you the go to do your thing. You get into a fighting stance.
“Oh sweetheart, you will never be strong enough to beat me,” the man says and takes a few steps forward.
You match his playful tone, “wanna bet?”
The man gives a look of annoyance then charges at you, expecting an easy kill. But he doesn’t even know what hits him when you step to the side and pivot to stand behind him. You grab him by the back of the neck and fling him against the alley’s brick wall.
He’s surprised but shakes it off, “how the Hell.”
You smirk so he can see your fangs now, “try again?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’ll leave you two be,” he says. He’s surrendering so easily because now he doesn’t see you and Seras as prey. He also realizes that you’re stronger than him so he won’t fight you any further.
“Oh no,” you grab him up again. You know there is only way Seras will let this go down even though you prefer to keep Alucard out of this. But you know he’s the only solution. So Seras calls him as you keep the man pinned to the ground.
It doesn’t take long for Alucard to show up and you hand the man over to Alucard so he can do his disgusting thing. Once Alucard is done drinking the man’s blood he looks at the two of you with a bit of disappointment, “nothing we don’t already know. He got turned by another group of vampires in the club.”
“Could you see who turned him?” You ask, wondering if it was Granger.
“A man with ash gray hair and a strong jawline-” Alucard says and begins to walk away, “-I’ll know him when I see him.”
“Well you’re no help-” you say in a huff and walk to the sidewalk, “-c’mon I’ve had enough excitement for one night. Time to go home.”
Sera’s nods and follows you, Alucard decides to walk with you two in case there is another attack but also he had nothing better to do at the mansion.
“So what were you two doing out?” Alucard asks, he always gets curious of what you and Seras do when you two go out.
“We got our nails done!” Seras says happily and shows Alucard her nails. He couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing Seras’ excitement and looks at her nails. Seras looks over at you and says, “oh, c’mon, show him your nails!”
You glare at Seras but then hold out your hand, the color immediately catches Alucard’s eyes. He holds out his hand, “may I?”
You’re hesitant at first but you let him take your hand to admire the beautiful color you chose. Something inside you feels different as his soft gloves caress your skin, a tension between you two building once again. It isn’t a bad tension though, you can’t figure out what type of tension it is.
Alucard feels it too, that’s why he gently lets go of your hand. He then gives you and Seras both a nod as you three continue walking back to the mansion in silence. It is a peaceful silence as all three of you look at the scenery that surrounds you.
Once back at the mansion Alucard bids you and Seras a good night since you and him got your training in before you and Seras head to your room to continue your girls night.
When you and Seras are back in your room she gives you a cheeky grin. You look at her in confusion, “what?”
“You and Alucard seem to be getting along ever since the mission,” Seras says playfully. It is hard to notice when there is a difference between you and him but Seras can always tell when something is up.
“No,” you say plainly, knowing exactly what she’s implying.
“I think you two would make good friends if you just stopped trying to kill him!” Seras says in nearly a plea because she’s tired of the fighting and angry tension in the mansion.
You promptly shake your head, “I’d never be friends with a monster like him.”
Seras just keeps quiet because she knows there is no changing your mind, though it is a really nice idea. If everyone could just get along life would be so much easier. She wouldn’t have to worry about you two being alone together for more than five minutes.
You sigh and decide to move on, “want to see the new clothes I got?”
“Do I!” Seras says happily and sits on your bed. You two have a fashion show in your bedroom as you show off all the new clothes you bought the last time you went shopping. You’ve started going out and doing things on your own more often which in a sense was freeing. Seras loves every outfit you show her, she loves your style because it suits you and she’s happy that you’re finally feeling comfortable enough to do things by yourself as well. Though she also loves spending time with you too.
The rest of the night was fun for you two.
