The Story of Time

Blood and Maren

A/N: This is for Lucy-chan66...yup, this is another one of those requests.

"Blood--I-I mean...uh...Mr. Mafia? No! No! I mean--Mr. Dupre! Yeah!" Maren corrected herself multiple times at the Tea Table.

"Blood is fine." Came his cool reply.

Alice looked between Blood and Maren with a look of distaste. She knew Maren's real feelings toward Blood and it was complete competition between two girls.

Besides, the prize was so sexy. It was totally worth it.

"So, I was wondering if you could let me borrow the next book in the series?" Maren spoke freely, like she was flying and didn't have a care in the world, but it was much different on the inside.

"Stop by my room when the Tea Party is over." Blood said in between sips of tea.

"Umm...Blood can I also borrow a book?" Alice piped up.

Maren locked eyes with Alice. You could cut the tension between the two with a knife.

Blood nodded and gave permission to her as well. "But do it one time change after Maren, I don't want both of you breaking out in a fight in my quarters, am I understood?" Blood looked at both girls really sternly. "Maren, you will be allowed to stay for one time period. Alice's time will be right after you."

Maren kept a cool face on the outside, but on the inside she was talking to herself...and went:
MAREN BE LIKE: HELL TO THE YEEEAAAAHHH!!!

Or that'd what she told herself anyway.

Elliot and the Twins looked at each other and with a shrug, they went back to eating cake.

~♡~☆~

Maren entered Blood's room after the Party.

"Blood?" She walked in to find that he wasn't there. "Hello~?"

"Why hello there."

Maren spun around a few times until she found him lying comfortably on his bed. He was wearing a white jacket that made him blend in...

No wonder she didn't find him at first glance!

He got up and made his way over to her.

"Here's your book." Blood handed her the next book of the particular series she had requested.

Maren took the book and was about to leave, but Blood stopped her with five simple words.

"But it's not time yet."

Maren stopped and turned around. "You really want me to stay the whole time period?" She asked.

"I have something to show you."

Maren walked back to Blood only to find him rushing over to a sink. A sink right next to his bed and below a huge mirror.

"Maren, I'd like you to meet my therapist: Sink." Blood guestured to the sink.

NOW THAT ISN'T WEIRD!!! Maren yelled to herself.

"Oh, yes. You need to meet my shower one of these days, Mr. Sink. I think you two would have a lot in common." Maren spoke in her usual sarcastic tone, sending her golden-pink colored hair flying when she threw her hands up in the air.

"Anyway, Sink is not only my therapist, but he's my bubble maker as well." Blood turned the nob on the sink to get the water running.

Bubble maker....

Bubble maker...

Say it with me. Bubble maker.

It's impossible to not think about it at least twice if you have a... mindset of most people Maren's age.

"Bubble maker?" Maren questioned.

"Yes. Watch." Blood poured some amber colored liquid into Sink and Maren watched as a whole bunch of clear round spheres emerge from the porcelain object.

Maren couldn't help but laugh as she twirled around in the mass of now orange tinted bubbles. The sunset was shining on her and the objects around her.

Blood watched as she attempted to pop every single one of them but, the amber liquid was not one to be underestimated. It produced mass amount every few seconds and soon the entire library-room thing that Blood called his bedroom, was filled to the brim with bubbles. And Maren was having the time of her life.

The time didn't really change for a while...it was like the perfect spot frozen in time to Blood. A beautiful girl dancing among sunset colored, twinkling bubbles. Her chocolate eyes glittered with happiness as she laughed with him.

"Maren, come here." Blood held his arms out and she, not quite understanding why herself, jumped in them. He twirled her around and he dress flowed about them.

The bubbles never popped that time change.

Maren and Blood felt like they could spin for hours...possibly without getting sick. And there was no Alice to get in between them. No nagging about getting to close to each other and no constant fighting over Blood between the two girls.

It was peace.

Blood gently tossed Maren onto his bed and pinned her to it. The happy environment was replaced by one of slight romance. Blood hovered over Maren and she let it happen.

Hopefully the time would't change anytime soon, for Alice may be outside the door right now, waiting for the precise moment to enter and ruin the scene.

Maren silently prayed that wouldn't happen, prayed that Alice was somewhere else in the Hatter Mansion and not outside Blood's bedroom door.

"Maren." The voice like velvet, the figure like a Greek God, Blood Dupre was caressing her figure and whispering her name.

Maren leaned up and slowly met his lips of with passion.
