Quiet Spirit

comfort

Freya walked into the bathroom and slowly started to strip his clothes off of his body. Soft fabric landing onto the white tiled floor. He looked up to find his reflection staring right back at him through the big mirror in front of him.

He took a moment to stare at the many bite marks he had scattered around his pale yet damaged skin. He brushed his finger tips against the mark on his neck. His death was because of his friend, still the bitter feeling remained deep in his heart when he got pushed into the river filled with piranhas, his mood faded into one of sorrow, he took off the skull hesd locket off of his ear and licked it slowly making vincent slowly appear behind freya.

"Still upset because of that incident?" a familiar voice freya was already used to at this point. He felt a pair of hands wrap around his waist pulling him into a gentle embrace, Vincent's voice growing softer as his mouth was close against freya's right ear. Freya nodded as his eyes ended up staring down at the sink.

"Don't be saddened, it's in the past now. I'm always here watching remember?" vincent said as he looked to the mirror to see freya's face. He only nodded sadly ("i just feel a little betrayed, he knew i couldn't swim yet he pushed me in anyways and watched me get eaten..") freya signed as he took a glance down his body, seemingly to get a little more upset.

"Master he was a piece of shit anyway, just forget about him and focus with what you have now.." freya sighed, seeming to notice vincents grip tightening a little he smiled at that, vince was always so considerate and knew how to comfort him. ("Of course, you wouldn't do anything like that to me anyway so.. I suppose you're right"), "certainly.. Just remember. I'm always here for you when possible"

Vincent slowly turned freya around, his hands traveling up the caretaker's body and soon cupped his cheeks. Leaning in and pressing his forehead against his, even in his now age.. He still had to tilt his head up whenever they got this physically close to each other. Vincent brought his right hand against the thread that was still connecting freya's lips shut and pulled it out, only he could do this for him after all, it always shocked him when freya didn't want it to be taken out. He just didn't find a reason to talk at all, only when necessary.

"Do you have to do this every time we have a slightly deep conversation..?" a soft voice coming from those soft pink lips, freya seemingly pulling away a little to get a good look at vincent "you never stop me when i do." "dont give me any ideas vince.." freya mumbled with a slight hint of irritation in his voice. But he couldnt stay mad at his companion for long.

"So, are you gonna watch me take a bath?'' freya asked. " will you let me?''
"No. Now shoo" vincent pouted and rolled eyes "fine, fine. I'll be in the living room then" finally after leaving freya alone, he turned the faucet on and let the bathtub slowly get filled with water. He got in shortly after and allowed the warm steaming water engulf his body rather slowly, he took his sweet time there to just enjoy the little relaxing moment to himself. Thought the calming and enjoyable moment would soon come to and end, all of a sudden a huge splash quickly widened his eyes, still in a state of shock he looked up at who ever decided it would be a good idea to jump in a very full tub of warm water with him. "what the fu-" "hello master!" Vincent said with glee as he looked down at freya's shocked and annoyed face "why are you here?!?! I thought you would be in the living room?????" clearly flustered he did his best to push vincent out of the tub but he wouldn't budge at all, instead he hugged freya tightly and laid on top of him. "why must you be so clingy..?"

freya sighed as he leaned his back against the tub, his hand now resting on vincents lower back. "you never said i couldn't join you" he said with a cheeky creepy grin, one that freya knew was full of nothing but mischief. He felt vincent lean forward to touch the faint small holes around his lips. "you... sly fucker!" he slapped his hand away and grabbed a fist full of vincents hair as he yanked him "owww! be a little more gentle with me would you?" "if you can handle me ripping out a blade from your chest, you should be able to handle me pulling your hair." vincent rolled his eyes at that statement "fine, i'm sorry. i just wanted to see you'' "you could have waited ya know"
" but i didnt want to"
"Unbelievable...''

"You're expecting me to wash your hair, correct?" freya said looking down at the taller man that was hugging his waist with his head poking out of the water. Judging by the look on vincents face and how he was now smugly smiling at freya, he took the hint and grabbed the bottle of shampoo. Pouring a good amount onto his palms before rubbing it gently into vincents hair. "You don't have to look up at me like that while im doing this." vincent just kept staring at freya with those dead pitch black eyes and shook his head "i want to though" that alone made freya pause and stop massaging the shampoo into vincents scalp "why exactly?" he said before continuing again.

"No reason" freya sighed and pushed vincent into the water, making him look up at freya below the water surface. He was caught off guard but soon realized he couldn't drown after all so he just laid there while he allowed freya to wash the shampoo out of his dark locks.

Moments after freya pulled vincent up from the water. "You should have seen your face" freya chuckled as he laid back against the tub, vincent on the other hand ceawled closer and hugged freyas waist again "haha very funny. I'm totally laughing" he said with a bitter look on his face, but it soon changed when he felt a hand cupping his cheek. "Hm?" gaze now turning towards freya's. "Nothing.. We should just, get out soon. The young ones need attention too." mentioning the souls under his most gentle of care.

"Cant we stay a little longer..?". " do you wanns sleep on the couch again?''

''...'' "so? Whats your answer vince?" he paused for a short while, letting out a short groan before pulling away from freya. "Good." "can we go stargazing later?" vincent asked as he got up and looked for some towels.

"I suppose we can. My loyal companion"
