(A/N: using a Vocaloid song as the title? yep im running outta title ideas once again! :D)
A lone vendor stood in his stationary shop, polishing a few iron objects they sold in the store, honestly their store was the kind of "stuff of everything" store, some things here and there, including medicine, if those were 100% legal is another story.
Everything was quiet until.The demented scientist dragged you into the store against your will, you were growling and hissing at him like an angry cat.
"Stop fighting me on this Y/N! im trying to help you!" Crackpot exclaimed as he still attempted on getting you inside at any cost, was one of the few times he used an informal title for you but you couldnt care less right now
The vendor just stared in confusion
"Bite me again and ill get the newspaper out!" he added as he seemed to make progress with getting you inside, you hated to admit it, he was stronger than his frame made seem.
"LET ME GO!" You yelled out between the thrashing around
"No! Im not! I cant just leave you as a vampire, Phobos will kill me!" he argued back "hey you!" he nodded at the vendor "You have handcuffs i can borrow?" he added. To which the vendor seemed to nod and take out a pair, yeah, like said, its a store with all kinds of stuff sold.
Crackpot pulled you over to the supporting pole and handcuffed you to it so you couldnt run off.
You bared your fangs which were covered in a crimson, the blood that belonged to your coworker. You didnt want to turn back! its great being a vampire! your visions better, you can smell blood from miles away, its amazing!
"You sell some antidote to vampirism?" Crackpot seemed to pay attention to the vendor
"HEY IM OVER HERE!" you yelled to get his attention.
"Shut up. Not now." He simply replied
The vendor was still somewhat dumbfounded at what just happened but after a few seconds of giving glances at you and the doctor just nodded before saying "Yes. Yes I do, one moment please." He started to rummage through his shelves.
"Actually make it two, i dont want to turn into one as well." The scientist said as he spoke up again.
"Got you." the vendor said as he continued to search
"Dont cure me its cool being a vampire! I have so many abilities!" you argued, in hopes of convincing him otherwise
"Y/N. thats the poison speaking. just, hold your blubbering, sharp-fanged mouth shut for a second and then you are cured." He seemed to be fed up with you.
"Why are you so pissed with me of all sudden?!" You shouted
"You made us crash 3 times with the car because you LEAPED at me!" He fired back to which you went wide eyed
"Oh....right-" you admitted. "ITS STILL COOL-"
"Shushshshshshs!" Crackpot hushed you down.
"Here you go. Would be around 40$." The vendor finally came back with the antidote
"Thats expensive!" Crackpot was about to start but then just shook his head and handed over the money "Nevermind. Just take the money. if this doesnt work ill feed you to the sewer rats."
You still tried to physically retaliate when it comes to the cure stuff but in the end it was no use, he forced that stuff down your throat whether you liked it or not.In all honesty, that stuff tasted aweful, but your mind seemed to clear up at least, now you actually start to think a little clearer.
Crackpot seemed to down his own vile shortly after, he didnt take his mask off, a shame, you are not going to lie, you ARE curious how he would look under that..weird...mask thing.The ride to the science tower was pretty quiet, as much as you didnt trust crackpot, you were to tired to drive and especially in a busy city being tired behind the wheels a bad idea.
"Do you really hate me?" You finally decided to ask the scientist, moreso for small talk
"If I really hated you, you would be dead already" he smiled "doesnt mean i like you either though." he added to that, his malicious tone disappearing as fast as it appeared
well that sure as hell was disturbing but at least he didnt hate you, honestly at this time you started to...well at least warm up to him and he having hatred towards you would have been a bad thing anyway.Once you were back in the science tower you felt..somewhat relieved. You felt more at home at least- Crackpot left when he got to his department of the tower so you were alone as you further took the elevator upwards, clutching the package and hoping that this truely is worth it.
He seemed to still be busy with work, you, yourself had no idea how late it even was at this point but a good day must have passed..well it was early in the morning so much was clear.
You tried your best to hide your fangs that were still receiding back, however that augmentation in your mouth? yeah that will be harder to get rid off. So for now you will just hide half of your face in a scarf you had, luckely it was pretty cold so high up in the science tower so it wouldnt be suspicious to wear thicker clothing.As you approached him he must have spotted you from the corner of his eye, he seemed suprised, yet confused
"Dr Y/N. I thought you needed some more time to return." He said
"Oh, yeah, just a few inconviniences." You replied holding the package
"...Follow me, now." His voice commanding and monotone.
"Of course." You followed the God Emperor, anxious, you had no idea what he wanted now, you did everything right, right? what did it matter that you came back early
Once in his office the air was seemingly heating up, well good to see at least he wont die of hypothermia in his own tower."Sir if its anything I did to upset or dissappoint you I didnt-" You started, at this point you were comfortable to speak up without him needing to force it out of you anylonger
"It is not that." He replied, proceeding to face you
"It is not?" You questioned him
"What is more of my concern is on why you are back so early." his claws drumming against the walls as he awaited an answer.
"Well we simply got done early I-" You tried to start but he interrupted you
"Considering you got the package around 12 am to 1 am in the morning, and it is 8 am now, means that you did not even take a stop to get rest. Y/N. I am not stupid, do not treat me like I am." Okaaaaaay maybe you didnt remember just how smart he could be at times- "And the sudden communication break off as well, I think theres something you arent telling me."
"..Okay okay, Ill bite, I got in a bit of trouble." You cant just hide things from this man, lieing would just dig your grave deeper. But, you werent going to say anything about Crackpot..for now at least, hell you didnt even know what HE did there and HOW he got there- "Vampires followed me and i had to escape before they got to me." you added
He slowly took the package from you so you would stop fiddling around with it, after that he knealed down to your eye level
"You are not injured are you?" His eye was staring at you, the crimson light observing you like an animal.
"Just some scratches. Thats all." You replied, backing up a little. He seemed to have picked up on how tense you are and took a step back, out of your personal space.
"If you say so, Y/N." You finally felt some tension ease up as he left you some space. Its not that you dont like him, no you would call him one of your only friends, as weird as that sounds and you could stare at him forever and you wanted him to be close- but things have been going pretty fast pace so you just needed a second to breathe through.
"..Pff, Im from Nevada, im not that easy to kill, Phobos." You decided to try to lighten the mood between the both of you
To which you earned a chuckle out of him "I am aware, I would not have sent you if you were easy to kill. But I know how stubborn you can be when it comes to everything" He teased you
"Asshole." You joked at the obvious teasing comment "What IS in that package, just out of curiousity." You were curious afterall.
"Something ...custom made for the Nexus Core, it will help advancements." He nodded as he talked, the bandages and helmet hiding his face. "Well and.." He took out what seemed to be a blossomed rose made from some reddish metal "something for you."
You felt yourself go red, you felt like your face was on fire as you held it, it was light yet hard and stable "A-are you hitting on me?" You stammered out, afterall you still were pretty forward with things.
He just chuckled "Take this as whatever you want, we will get to it once you wish" and with that he left you to your own thoughts, leaving his office only to tell you "You are excused from work for the rest of the day, think about this."
What.
