SALVATION [Vanitas x Noe x Reader]

Chapter 11 "Your Choice"

She freezes on the spot, circling this memory in her head. His scars didn't scare her, they made her want to save him from the pain he went through. She took a blanket from a bed, helping Vanitas sit in front of the fireplace. She sat next to him, placing a blanket on their shoulders. Their skin touched, which made her feel how her body was reacting now. It was different, almost like she could not breathe from one simple touch.

- I remembered something, - she looked at the fireplace, looking at how flames were raising, hearing the noise of burning wood. Vanitas looked at her.

- What? - his voice was quiet and tired. Vanitas' face was blushing from fever. He was feeling how his weak body started warming up by the warmth of her body.

- You, back then, - she looked down on the floor, - I always was wondering why did not I remember my life before I got to the human world a few years ago. I just got used to that emptiness in my head, but now when they are getting back, I have a lot of questions. Do you remember everything?

- Yes, I, - his deep voice made her look at him. Vanitas' put his head on his knees, closing his eyes, feeling how the poison was making him weaker. She saw how his condition started getting worse. The vampire of the blue moon stood up, coming to her mantle that was laying on the floor searching for water that she took with her.

- I will get you water and some pills I have with me, - she took a small bottle of water from her pocket with a bag where her pills were.

- [y/n], - she heard his tired voice that was calling for her, almost as his voice was dreamy from the fever. She sat down next to him.

- Drink some water, - her voice was careful, almost like she was scared to wake him up from sleep. Vanitas looked at her. He threw the bottle out of her hands, falling on her and kissing her. She closed her eyes, melting from his kiss, gentle answering to his kiss. She put her hands on his chest, feeling how fast was his heartbeat. Their kiss. It was different now. Vanitas put his one hand under her nightdress, touching her waist, softly stroking it, and going down on her hip. He stopped, looking at her face. She opened her eyes looking at him. Vanitas was crying. The second time they kissed. He was crying.

- Don't leave me anymore, I..I.., - Vanitas was dreaming from the fever, he was hardly breathing, looking at her wide-opened eyes. His tears fall on her cheeks, - I love you, [y/n].

She opened her mouth. When he said that, her heart dropped. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't understand if it was his fever or his real feelings. She put a hand on his warm cheek.

- I will never leave you, Vanitas, - she softly smiled, making him sit down on the floor. She sat on his lap, covering their bodies with a blanket, - I am here.

She kissed him, feeling how he answered, placing his hands on her waist. His soft touch made her body relax in his arms. Slowly his hands got under her nightdress, stroking her back. His hands were warming her back. Vanitas fell on top of her, placing his one hand near to her head, not stopping the kiss. He slowly ran his other hand down her curves and stopped on her hip. He gently kissed her neck, leaving a soft touch on his lips. She quietly moaned in his ear, feeling how her body was melting under his kisses. Vanitas looked at her with a smile, stroking her cheek.

- I missed that, I missed you, - his voice was nostalgic. His calm tone made her close her eyes, enjoying the moment with him. Vanitas lay next to her, placing a blanket on them. He put his head on her chest, closing his eyes, - Don't go, [y/n]. I don't want you to go.

After Vanitas said that, another memory flew through her memory. More time she spent with him, more memories started getting back to her. The vampire of the blue moon blushed from the memory that she saw.
