Love Darling? || Vampire Voltiaere

28. You know, jelousy isn't a good look for you

Y/n's pov.:

You wake up the next morning with the bed empty. You look up to look for Voltiaere. You can't find him, but the sound of the shower lets you know he is still near. You stay in bed and wait for him, a bit scared that something could happen. With the attack last night and the one from the date, you are a bit on edge. Not only can't you tell Brandon anymore, but you also can't take Voltiaere's full attention from him. Then there is also your situation with him, if there even is one. You are pulled out of your thoughts when you see Voltiaere come out of the closet fully dressed. ,,Are you alright darling? You were spaced out when I came out of the bathroom,, you don't say anything and just get out of bed to hug him. He gladly takes you in his arms and kisses the top of your head.

,,We still need to talk about the fight and last night,, you mention and he tenses up.

,,Now?,, you nod in his chest and he sighs. ,,Alright,, you pull away from him and go back in the bed. ,

,,I know we've been over this.....but I am not property,, he nods.

,,Of course, darling,, he adds.

,,And no more lying! You keep almost getting killed and I definitely do not like it!,, you say with a pout.

,,This is all not just for me, you know that right?,, you start to fiddle with the duvet knowing what he'll ask next. ,,Why did you ask me if I would turn you?,, he ask in a too calm of voice.

,,I....It was really just a thought. With you being injured and me not being able to do anything, I'm just-....I'm scared Voltiaere,, his look softened. ,,For the first time in my life something good came from something bad. I really don't like the feeling of being able to lose it,, he pulls you back in his embrace as soon as tears spring in your eyes.

,,Darling, you will never lose me,, he whispers.

*But you might lose me* he waits for you to calm down.

,,But being a vampire is a decision that cannot be taken lightly. It isn't as easy as the fairy tales tell you, ok?,, you nod and he kisses your forehead. ,,Anything else?,, he asked with a teasing voice.

Butterflies surge your stomach as the last thing that was left still needed to be said. ,,No~,, you try to sound convincing, but failed miserably.

,,Nothing at all? Well, if that is the case,, he pulls away. ,,I suggest you get dressed and we get started with our day,, you hold back a whine, but actually get up and head for the bathroom. He suddenly grabs your wrist and pulls you against him ,,I thought we weren't lying anymore or did I miss something?,, he raises his brow and smirks lightly.

That whine finally came out and you headbutt his chest. ,,Why do I have to say it? Can't you just tell me?,, he chuckles.

,,Of course not darling. In the words of Brandon 'Now where would the fun be in that?',, you sigh realising a few things.

,,Voltiaere even if, this would never work. You are not only a vampire, but basically a prince to this nest. You'll not only outlive me by forever, but you'll need to find someone you can actually be with,, he thinks about it for a moment.

,,So, you are calling yourself princess?,, he tries to lighten the mood, but sees that you're not interested. ,,Darling, about me being a vampire in the long term, you don't have to worry about that yet. We will figure that when the time comes. As for the other thing. You are my princess, my darling. I don't want some power-hungry vampire, who will want to do everything and maybe even kill me. You don't have to worry about the nest and even that you are now just proves at how perfect you are. Please don't let it discourage you or put any doubts in your head, ok?,,you sigh nodding.

,,I'll try, that is the best I can give you. I'm sorry,, he once again kisses your forehead.

,,You don't have to be sorry, you did nothing wrong,, you both lay in bed and still cuddle for a bit longer than you maybe should have.

,,Voltiaere?,, you whisper.

,,Yes, darling,, he said a bit strained. He must have been close to falling asleep again.

,,What are-/,, the door slammed open and Brandon walked in.

,,Brother!,, Voltiaere sat up, but with a slight dazed look and Brandon chuckled. ,,Which carriage hit you?,, he asks and Voltiaere grunts.

,,The same one that will hit you, if you're not careful,, he sounded angry.

,,Alright, well as I was about to say, I need to borrow cotton-/,, he instantly shook his head and cut him off.

,,No.,, Brandon looked a bit shocked, but quickly chuckled after.

,,Don't worry, I'll bring her back in one-/,, he shook his head again this time pulling you in his hold.

,,I said no. We've had two attacks the past week and with the last one she almost got killed. So, no,, Brandon took a breath to start again. ,,If you want Y/n, then I get the mut,, Voltiaere said once again cutting him off.

,,Don't you dare!,, Brandon warned. ,,You can smirk all you want, but he is the reason I need her help,, he mumbled bit at the end. ,,He's been ignoring me, but he is also being a pissy b*tch to everyone,, Voltiaere sighs.

,,The mut-/,, it was now Brandon's turn to cut Voltiaere off.

,,He has a name!,, Brandon said looking like he was about to explode with anger.

,,The last time they were together, he pulled her by her hair, threatened to bring her to you to do lord know what to her and stabbed her with a knife. She is going nowhere near him,, Brandon wasn't able to see, but Voltiaere took your hand in his under the duvet.

,,Boru wasn't the one that stabbed me though,, they both turn to you. ,,One of the maids that serves you your food admitted to me that she had done it. I think he shares a room with her,, you explain.

,,Still he did the other things and as far as I know he shares a room with her, so he could have been a part of it,, Voltiaere stated and Brandon sighed.

,,Volt, first of all, at the time I didn't know her as well. So, blame me for also not liking her at first and as much as Boru can be a b**ch, I highly doubt he'd stab her. Second, she might be the only one who can actually talk to him. He needs to calm down before he ends up on Vector's radar. You know that can't happen again,, you heard the desperation he tried to hide in his voice and remembered what Volt told you.

,,Ok,, you whisper and Voltiaere squeezed your hand. You get out of bed, but Voltiaere's grip on your hand doesn't leave. ,,I'll be out in a minute,, you say to Brandon.

He nods and leaves. You turn to Voltiaere. ,,I just said you need to stay with me,, he says looking like a puppy.

,,I'll be fine. You hear how frustrated he is. Like you said, they love each other...,, you pause to look if the door is actually closed. ,,...but are too stupid to realise it themselves,, you whisper to him.

He chuckles a bit, but looks at you hand he is holding and starts rubbing his thumb over it. ,,I have a bad feeling about it,, you wait for him to finish. ,,Promise me, that if anything happens with you and Boru, that you'll tell me,, he says linking your pinkie with his.

,,I promise,, he kisses your hand and lets you leave.

You quickly get change and head out to Brandon. ,,Alright let's go!,, he drags you all the way through the house and when you get there you already see it.

Some poor young elf getting shouted at from a furious Boru, because of something unknown *Maybe this isn't a good idea*.

Brandon walked in with you and he stop shouting. The elf bowed and he just glared at her. ,,You may leave,, the elf is quick to leave. ,,You can stay Boru,, he sighs and walks back to the spot he was. ,,You know, jealousy really isn't a good look for you,,.
