Fleeting Hearts - a castlevania story

Chap 9

"Trevor!"
A hard thud caused Trevor to gasp. Searing heat was numbing Trevor's mind until there was nothing left to feel exept Alucards fangs lodged deep inside with an intense pressure. He was losing his thoughts fast. What's happening? He felt disoriented. He thinks he heard Sypha call out for him but he couldn't be certain anymore, all Trevor wanted to do now was to go back to sleep.
Trevor felt solid ground adding another sort of pressure to the back on his head, he figured he must be on the ground then. As the pressure increased to a near complete numbness, so did his fatigue. Trevor felt his eyelids growing heavy like lead. He stirred in discomfort as he struggled to move his limbs. Through his decreasing vision, Trevor could only make out a head of familiar blond hair covering most of his upper body and face.  That's right, he thought. I need to wake Alucard. Is he okay now? He couldn't remember, he was beginning to fade away.
Trevors breathing grew quick and rigid. This triggered Alucard even more. He felt his deep growls as he latched on more fiercely to Trevor, his grasp on him impenetrable, biting into him even deeper with a murderous passion. The sound of Trevor's own pulse overtook him in a quick panicking rate, much too fast, Trevor knew what that meant. He felt tears falling in the corner of his eyes, tears he hadn't felt since childhood. Tears of fear.
To Trevor, it felt like time had stopped, moments in his life replaying over and over in his head. Images, of his mom hugging him, his father calling to his return as he was climbing a tree, Sypha sighing at a stupid joke of his, Alucard having a drink with him in the tavern. To his own suprise, he felt petrified. He wanted more time, more memories. He wasn't ready to die yet, not like this, not with regrets weighing his heart down. Trevor shakingly lifted his arm and gently placed it on the back of Alucards head. With his mind urging him to give in to sleep, Trevor felt like he might lose consciousness any second,  the thought of never opening his eyes again came rushing and that scared him beyond comprehension. "Please" he muttered, trembling under Alucards body. Desperately searching and wishing for his golden eyes to meet his again, but it was to no avail. Trevors arm remained around him, his voice suddenly silenced by Alucards savagery. The smell of iron overtaking all his other senses, and surley driving Alucard wild with predatorial pleasure.
As Trevor's eyes fell, attempting to find whatever acceptance he could get of his remaining fate, a blinding light peered his eyes open once more. And suddenly the heat of breath on his neck had gone, exposing the wound to the cold air.
Trevor saw alarmed turquoise eyes looking back at his. Sypha, he thought. She must have grabbed his shoulders but Trevor could not feel her touch.
"Trevor can you hear me?"
He wanted to say yes, to day something, anything!  To tell her it wasn't as bad as it looked event though he had no idea what it looked like. And what about Alucard? Was he alright? Did she kill him? His mind raced with thought springing more and more fear to emerge. He couldn't get the words to leave his mouth. Finally, everything went dark.
.....

When Alucard opened his eyes, he arose  with a start. The memories from that awful nightmare still fresh in his mind.
A little wide eyed and quick to breath, Alucard reached for his throat and sighed in relief. Finally, he could breath again. Alucard dropped his head down, resting his forehead to his knees.
"I cabt recall the last time I had such a vivid dream, maybe I need to stop being around humans so much"
Alucard felt a sudden sting from his side, confused, he twisted to his side. A relatively small piece of skin below his ribs was blistered with angry red marks around. "What the hell?- he hissed. Had he burned himself?
The strange wound had clearly been healing as Alucard could tell that the original size of it had been far more given the redness around it.
A sudden groan snapped Alucard out of his confused thoughts. He looked straight ahead and saw familiar brown hair laying down across him. Huh?
"Belmont?"
Whats happening here? Is he still dreaming after all?
Trevor slowly opened his eyes. As he met Alucards, his went wide with panic. Alucard could hear his heartbeat almost trippel in speed in a mere second as he registered the person who had just called out to him. This left Alucard a little confused, why was he suddenly so afraid? But there was something else too. A faint smell of infection and blood. Was he hurt? What exactly happened earlier? Last thing Alucard remembered was choking for air, by the very hands who were now shaking across from him. Why did he have a sudden burn mark on his side? And why is Trevor acting so strange?  Alucard suddenly realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt anymore. This only added to his confusion as he was sure he had been wearing one earlier. He looked back at Trevor, he looked to be in bad shape.
"What happened?"
Trevor looked shocked at the question and a bit hesitant. He dropped his gaze to the floor before looking back with sharpness in his eyes. What could he possibly have done to leave Trevor of all people this silent, Alucard thought.
"You mean you don't remember?" Trevor's tone bore some anger, more of an accusation than an actual question it seemed. This made Alucard anxious. What does he mean remember? Had he been talking in his sleep? And where is Sypha?

"No, I don't remember, I suppose the burn on my side was your doing then?"

Trevor scoffed before a groan abruptly made him ease back.
"Unfortunately I can't take credit for that since you almost bled me dry"

Alucard felt yet again like the air had eacaped him, leaving him with an unecessary need for more. Whad did he say? That's not possible. He would never, he hasn't. He couldn't have. 

"W-what?"

"You were having a nightmare, I tried waking you and all of a sudden you decided to have me for dinner. If it wasn't for Sypha I'd be dead right now, and so would you."

Alucard was at a loss of words. He could be lying, he has to be. He would never do that, not after...
It's just no possible.

"You're lying. I wouldn't do that"

Trevor wore a look of disbelief. He stood up abruptly and swayed a bit before steadying himself. Just because he's lightheaded doesn't necessarily mean anything. He turned his head to the side and immediately Alucards eyes focused on the two deep fang marks littering the side of his neck.

"Look at this! If you didn't do it then explain this!

Alucard was speechless, it's true. His own scent was oozing from the wound.
But how...He pinched his eyes shut and that's when it started hitting him. Flashes of his hands pushing Trevor down, growls and...his blood. The delicious taste of hunters blood flooding his mouth.

"I am- I"
Alucard truly didn't know what to say. This wasn't the first time he had tasted human blood, he knew that. When he moved his tongue around, the lingering taste of blood left in his mouth washed over, reminding him. The awful memories of that day rushing back. The screaming, the blood and pain that followed. How his father, enraged, had nearly beat him to death and young Alucard promising to never do it again.

"You're not going to say anything? What the hell even happened to you!"

"I- I'm not sure... I-"

Trevor looked bewildered. He was angry, just like how his father had looked that time. Alucard hated this, never had he felt more weak and vulnerable in these past few weeks than he ever had before.
As Trevor made his way towards him Alucard instinctively rose quickly and stepped back. Oh. Was he so afraid of him now that his first instinct is to flee?
If only father could see him now.
If Alucard he really had lost control like that, to the point where he couldn't even remember, then he needed to leave. Now.
"I have to leave"
Alucard turned for the door but Trevor's hand grabbed hold of him, making the burn on his side stretch painfully at the motion.

"You're not going anywhere"
Alucard needed to remain calm. He can't let himself fall apart, it's already bad enough how weak he must look to Trevor already. He just needs to make it out the door.
"I said I'm leaving, if you wish to remain in one piece then don't stand in my way"
Alucard freed Trevor's grasp and made another attempt for the door.
Trevor pushed his hand down, his frame locking Alucard in against the door. Alucard mentally cursed himself for flinching.

"Talk to me", Trevor pleaded.
For a moment there was only silence.
Alucard turned away from the door and looked Trevor in the eyes. Trevor instinctively took a step back as crimson orbs stared back at him, daring him to defy him once more. "No".
And maybe it was all the pent up emotion, the recent attempts at each others lives or just the uncertainty.
Trevor has no way of knowing because in one simple motion, his lips were crashing down on Alucards.
Trevor stepped forward, bringing his knee between Alucards legs.
Alucard froze and now pushed even more against the door.
Their tongues interlocking with each other.  Alucards warmth washing over his own. Their hot breaths were trapped in a deep kiss. Trevor pulled back, his mind slowly realizing what he had done. "Shit"
Alucard wasted no time taking this moment to land a hard punch against Trevor's jaw. Trevor stumbled back at the impact. What did he just do.
Trevor looked back up at Alucard, his face hiding nothing of the pure rage displaying even more fiercely in his eyes now.
At the time Trevor didn't know, but he'd come to hate himself for letting Alucard walk trough that door.
