Melody Of Tears

Melody of Tears: Part 4

[Feels and trigger warning! Also, this is gonna be the last chapter for a little while, though the story isn't over!!]

   Vincent stood up, finally. He smiled at Scott, grabbing his hands and pulling him to his feet. Scott was a little confused, but he trusted Vincent."You still owe me a Valentines day~" Vincent said with a low chuckle. He let go of Scott and closed the door, grabbing something off the shelf. He took the CD and put it into the stereo Mike kept in the guest bedroom. The song started, Scott smiling a little. 

    He walked over to Scott, grabbing both his hands again. Scott looked up, "What are you doing?" Vincent laughed. "You cheated me out of my Valentines day,so you're gonna make it up to me. I'm going to teach you how to dance~" Vincent replied with a small laugh. He put one hand on Scott's waist, interlocking their fingers together with the other arm. Vincent smiled and took two steps forward, forcing Scott backwards. Scott was rather clumsy, he had never danced before. 

    Vincent took one step back, pulling Scott forward. Vince hummed and sang softly to the music. "Check the mirror one last time, and kiss the past goodbye!What I'm really needin' now, is a double shot of crown, chase that disco ball around 'till I don't remember~" He twirled Scott around, catching him as he almost tripped. Vincent laughed, seeing how inexperienced Scott was. 

   About mid-song, Scott began to get the hang of it. He steps matched Vincent's, they were finally both in rhythm. Vincent would side-step every now and then, and would twirl Scott around a few times. "Tonight I'll let a stranger pull me on the floor, spin me round and let him buy a couple more. But before it gets too far, I'll let him down easy~" Vincent sang along with the track playing in the stereo. Scott closed his eyes and laughed, he was finally dancing with'Vincent! He was so happy he didn't notice the clutter on the floor, and they both fell backwards onto the floor. 

    Vincent landed first, and cushioned Scott's fall. They both laughed, wrapping their arms around one another. They got up soon after, continuing their dance. Song after song played, both of them in perfect rhythm the whole time. They continued until they both were completely out of breath, and then they both laid down together. Vincent was the most tired, he smiled when Scott wrapped his arms around him. Vincent closed his eyes, pulling Scott close and falling asleep in no time. 

    Scott smiled and snuggled next to him. He looked up curiously when he heard an odd sound. Whimpering? Vincent whimpered as if he were in pain. It couldn't be the burns, those were healed by now. Scott shook Vincent lightly, wanting to make sure he was okay. Vincent opened his eyes slowly, smiling weakly at Scott. Scott sighed in relief that he was okay, relaxing. Vincent sat up, wincing a little.  

    "Good thing you woke me up, I forgot to clean the other arm..." Scott shook his head. "N-no! I'm okay!" He really didn't want to feel that again. Vincent chuckled and got up, grabbing the med kit he had put under the bed. Scott hid under the covers, hoping Vince would leave him alone. Vince laughed, seeing how childish he was being, pulling the covers off of him, then kissing him gently. "Hush, I'll do it quick." Vince sighed and lifted Scott's arm up, gently taking the bandage off.Scott looked down, closing his eyes and preparing himself for the burning sensation. Vince grabbed the bottle, flicking off the cap. He gently poured the acid-feeling liquid onto the wound, almost causing Scott to scream. Vincent trembled slightly, pouring a little more than he should've on the cut, then put the bottle down. Scott was in pain, but he was more curious at the way Vincent was acting. 

   Vincent shakily picked up the bandages, wrapping them around the wound. Scott knew something was wrong, seriously wrong with Vincent. Vince got up, opening the door and walking down the hall. Scott got up and followed him silently, noticing Vincent's occasional coughing fits. Then suddenly, Vincent collapsed and blacked out on the floor. Scott gasped and ran over, picking Vincent up in his arms.
