"I was going to tell you I still love you but…"
🌕
He's not gonna like this." Mani had said the phrase more times than he could count as Teddy was being wheeled on a trolley to a wing of a hospital dedicated to the care of the bloodkind.
"Well it serves him right for taking such a pill." The professor repeats. "It's only a precaution. I have my lab here if things take a turn for the worse." He adds.
Mani decides to focus on Teddy's seemingly sleeping face, rather than the looks he was feeling from the blood kind surrounding him. If these new laws were going to be tested. The time was most definitely now.
They are soon in a private room. The professor closes the door. "It's probably best if you are not put out on show. Just because there's been a shake of hands, doesn't mean that everyone is going to like the new order."
Mani stands back as the professor begins to connect Teddy to a machine. A beep begins to sound. "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Mani questions.
"I was a doctor before I became a teacher." Rowan answers.
"A vampire doctor?" Mani furrows his brow in wonder.
"No, a human doctor." The professor turns and smiles at Mani, who was desperate to ask more, but dared not to. "I will leave you two alone, but just press the button if you need to ok?"
Mani nods. "Thankyou." He says as he goes to sit by the alpha's bed. Now all he could do was wait…
***
It isn't until his eyes feel heavy, with Mani feeling on the verge of sleep, that he feels a hand rest upon his weary head. "What is this? I'm not on my deathbed." Teddy says through a groggy tone.
"Teddy! Thank God you're awake!" Mani sits bolt upright on the folded chair next to the bed. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, how are you?"
"I ain't gonna lie. I feel like shit." Comes the reply as the alpha wearily edges up the bed, in order to sit up. "What the fuck was in those pills?"
"They're not meant for wolfkind. Only the bloodkind." Mani pulls both his lips into his mouth, the guilt in him hurts almost as much as his chest.
"Fuck! Am I a fucking vampire? What are my teeth like?" Teddy bears his teeth at Mani, with the omega finding himself looking at some very pearly white and normal looking teeth.
"They're just normal teeth Teddy." Mani smiles as he watches the alpha run his tongue over them. "You're not a vampire. You are still a wolfsblood, but… how did he say it? Shielded.
"I can't smell you." Teddy sniffs the air. "I miss your smell. All I can smell is disinfectant. Where am I?"
"Alucard hopital."
"What? Are you insane? Why have you brought me here to a vampire hospital?" Teddy looks around the room as if a vampire was to jump out of the walls.
"I didn't bring you. The professor did. He has his lab here, in case you take a turn for the worse." Mani insists.
"Like things could be any worse. I'm surrounded by a known enemy!"
"This pill hasn't changed your attitude at all!" Mani huffs. "I've been worried. I thought you were going to die." Mani gets up from the chair and looks over Teddy, half sitting up on the bed. "I was going to tell you I still love you but…"
"What?" Teddy finds the strength from somewhere to sit up a little straighter. "You, what?"
Mani's mind now catches up with the words leaving his mouth. The confession of his real feelings, his chosen feelings weren't supposed to come out like that, not in a hospital room. "You heard me Teddy. I love you. Pill or no pill, fate or no fate. I love you because I want to love you. It's what I choose." He looks at Teddy. Mani had already decided that whatever the alpha would say, he would be ok with it. He would never force another to love him back.
"It's a shame..." Teddy begins as he takes a heavy sigh, looking at Mani's tense expression.
"What do you mean?" Mani feels a lump beginning to form in his throat. He could have sworn he would stop beating at any moment.
"That this is what it took for you to realise how you really feel about me. My words, my actions would never be enough…whereas I had no doubt." Teddy now smiles widely. "Fate brought you into my life for the good of wolfkind, but whatever went after was all us." Teddy reaches forwards to take Mani's hand in his. "You are the most stubborn individual I have ever come across, you challenge me, you make me see a different point of view. You make me want to be a better alpha and I love you for that and yes this is me talking. Not fate."
"I know." Mani says as he feels the relief wash over from Teddy's words.
Teddy leans forwards and kisses Mani tenderly on the lips. "Will you let it go now?" He questions, pressing his forehead against the omega's.
"Yes. I love you Teddy."
"I love you too."
Teddy smiles once again at Mani. "Now get me out of here."
"Ok." Mani gets up from the bed. "But I'm not doing it because you command it as my alpha, I'm doing it because it's my choice."
"Fuck, is that all I'm gonna hear from now on, 'it's my choice' " Teddy mocks.
"Yes.' Mani grins.
