Blood Halo: Comic!Miguel O'Hara x OC Imagine

Babysitting

   - Ahh... My shoulder... - I pet my hurting shoulder with my wet hands from washing the dishes.
   - Try putting on some ice - Carmilla suggests.
   - I tried... And it didn't work... - I mumble back.
   - Well, some painkillers maybe..? - Gus says.
   - I tried that as well... - I go back washing, ignoring the pain.
   - Damn... Go see a doctor - Raven says.
   - I will... - If I had money... And I also need to pay Miguel...
   - Right... - Asiman sighs as walks to me - We'll be busy tonight, you'll need to help Esther with her homework.
   - Ok - I mumble. It will be really easy - anything else..?
   - Give her dinner, the jar is in the fridge, you just need to boil it up a bit - she says.
   - Ok - I say as I finish washing the dishes.
   - Wish us luck tonight..! - Gus puts on his white mask and Raven her black mask as the four of them go upstairs to the club. I hope nothing bad happens to them... Specially with these Mamba members out there...
   - Selene... - Esther comes closer with a pitiful expression, as I kneel down next to her - can I watch a movie instead of doing my homework..? Homework is boring...
   - Homework first, movies after - I say, she crosses her arms with an annoyed face - come on... It'll be quick - I smile slightly and pet her head, she smiles back slightly - go get your things - she nods and goes to her room.
   Next, Meowy comes to me, rubbing itself against my legs, I pet the animal as it walks trowards the black metal door, scratching it. I go open the door for the cat, the animal jumps to the step while looking back at me with that eye.
   - What..? - I raise an eyebrow. The cat goes upstairs, I follow it until the door of my apartment. The animal scratches the door again, I open it and Meowy jumps to the sofa, looking at the window which leads to the balcony, where I hear a noise, like someone was trying to get in... Is it Mamba..? Or someone else..?
   I use my own blood to create a gun and go to the door, hiding next to it as I unlock the window. The window opens and the figure enters, the smell is familiar... I look to see who it's, and it's Miguel..!
   - Pookie..! - I smile as I turn the gun into blood and hug him from behind. It's so reliefing... I nuzzle into his nape, his hair is so soft and smells great.
   - H-hey... - Miguel says a bit surprised - did you miss me?
   - Of course... - I mumble with a smile as I let him go - I'm kinda busy now, so the house is yours - I give him a small kiss - if you need anything, I'm downstairs - he nods as I walk back to my neighbors' house.
   As I enter the living room, where Esther is sitting on the table with some holograms around her. I sit next to her and start helping her. I'm lucky it's a History homework, and I really know many things about the basics of History as a subject, so helping Esther with questions is easy, but the holograms really got me... I cannot believe a 7 year-old child knows more about technology and how to use it than me! Now I understand Miguel's importance for helping me with this. After a while, we finish it and the holograms fade. I sigh and lean back on the chair.
   - Finally... - I look at Esther - are you hungry? - she nods, I get up and go to the kitchen to prepare her dinner, boiling the blood in the jar.
   - Selene - I hear Miguel's voice, I walk to the living room and there he's, in front of the door.
   - What are you..? - my eyes wide.
   - You said the house was mine - he says a bit annoyed.
   - But my house is just the apartment upstairs, here it's not mine anymore - I cross my arms pissed.
   - You told me to call you if I need something, and you're here - he puts his hands on his hips annoyed.
   - Is that your boyfriend? - Esther asks curious.
   - No - me and Miguel reply, looking at her.
   - Tio Gus told me you are boyfriend and girlfriend... - she seems confused.
   - Your uncle is such a jokester - I gesture to the table as I go back to the kitchen and sigh, looking at the boiling dark red liquid. It surprisingly calms myself a bit, letting my thoughts flow away as I look into the emptiness...
   I hear someone entering in the kitchen, it's Miguel carrying Esther on his arms like she was weightless. He opens the cabinet as he asks Esther:
   - ¿Qué taza quieres?
   - El de las hadas brillantes - she points to inside the cabinet.
   - ¿Y qué pajita?
   - El rojo que hace un corazón.
   - Aquí... - he gives her a cup with fairies drawn on it with details in glitter (specially on the wings) and red staw which turns in the shape of a heart.
   - Gracias - she grabs them with a smile as Miguel puts her on the ground.
   - De nada - he smiles back as she runs to the living room.
   - I didn't know Esther speaks Spanish... - I mumble.
   - Neither I - he says - her Spanish is good though...
   - Would you teach me Spanish..? - I look at him.
   - Why..?
   - I want to learn - I lean against the countertop - and I can learn languages very fast, so consider yourself lucky...
   - Once all this is over... - he puts himself against me, our lower bodies pressed together and his hands on my waist, I like this touch, it's electric and gives me some butterflies in my stomach - and I've... found more things about Henrietta...
   - What..?
   - Well... - he turn on his Gizmo and shows a symbol that looks like a cross but for a person with 6 arms - this is somehow related to a person named Ed Helior, a paid criminal who I saw a blocked chat with that name, Henrietta's and Ty's, I don't know what kind of thing they might be planning, but something is definitely happening behind the curtains...
   - I see... - I mumble - does he does any kind of kidnapping..?
   - Yes... - he replies. Missing vampires, criminals in Alchamax... Are these two connected somehow..?
   - Some vampires have gone missing under unknown circumstances recently... - I say - 5, one of them was Nabeshima... - his eyes wide a bit - And I have the feeling they're interconnected events, not mere coincidences...
   - Oh... - he looks away - I feel sorry... For Nabeshima...
   - Thanks... But we need to found out more about what's happening to avoid more people having the same fate as Nabeshima, not lament forever...
   - You're right... - He's so cute... I give him a quick kiss on his lips, he blushes as I giggle a bit, my darling... Oh, the dinner..!
   - Hold on a bit... - I get out of his embrace and I go back to the boiling dinner. I turn off the stove, grab the jar and take it to the living room and I pour the liquid into Esther's cup. She smiles and drinks it happily. I'm doing a great job.
   - Can I watch the movie? - Esther asks as she finishes the dinner, I nod as she smiles and runs trowards the sofa. The TV seems to modern for me... It's holographic with thousands of functions...
   - Miguel... - I look at the entrance of the kitchen where he's standing in front of - can you...
   - Sure... - he goes to the TV and does all that shit as I go to behind the sofa - which movie do you want..?
   - That one - she points to the screen.
   - Right... - he puts on the movie as Esther smiles. Meowy enters the room and jumps into the sofa, rubbing itself against the child, who hugs it while being hypnotized by movie. Cute...
   Miguel leans against the wall on the other side of the room while being distracted in his own thoughts. He's really pretty, both outside and inside... He's my comfort in this cruel world, the moon shining in the night sky...
    - Hey... - Miguel asks - wanna go... - he points his head to the door, I look over Esther and she seems fine. I nod and we walk.
   - We're upstairs if you need anything - I say to the child, who doesn't seem to hear it, and we walk to my apartment, only illuminated by the lights form the outside.
   As we enter the apartment, I hug him from behind, warping my arms around his waist and nuzzling into his nape. His hair is so soft and smells so good...
   - How's your hair incredibly soft..? - I mumble.
   - Some products I use - he says - but yours is soft as well - he turns around to face me and pulls one strand of my hair, playing with it with his fingers - is it natural?
   - Yes... Why..?
   - It's not the typical red hair, it's usually orange, not red like blood... Did you change your genes to have this color?
   - No... I was born this way...
   - Hum... I have to say, red is another color that matches you very well...
   - Thanks... - I smile slightly and give him a kiss, it starts as a soft one and it turns into a more passionate one, our tongues warmly dancing together as he grabs my waist and I arch my back. It feels so great... I want more...
   I pull away and drag him by the hand to the sofa, where I pin him down and start kissing him roughly, cupping his face. He puts one of his hands on the back of my thighs, caressing it lightly with the tip of his fingers, which despite the tissue of my pants, gives me chills.
   - Ah... Tellement bon... - I breathe heavily as I pull away.
   - You're such an... astonishing woman... - he says between breaths as he puts his forehead against mine.
   - And you a beautiful man... - I come closer to his face with almost close eyes as we're almost kissing, our lips brushing against each other and our hot breaths muffling the closeness.
   He pulls me for another kiss, his tongue invading my mouth, I do the same. It's such a great sensation, only us in our lovely time bubble and nothing else... Underneath the pale moonlight... Then I hear that buzz again, the deafening sound with no apparent source, just my head. I pull away fromt he kiss as I cover my ears in pain, rubbing them to make the sound stop ad I sit down on his lap.
   - Are you ok..? - he asks, coming closer. His voice seems to be far away and inside a box. I cannot respond, this sounds is horrible. I rub my ears until the sound fades and I'm back to normal.
   - Yep... - I replie - just a random buzz in my ear, nothing to worry...
   - If you say so... - he moves the big lock of hair from my left ear, showing it to him as he analyzes it. It's very uncomfortable...
   - Hum... Can you..? - I pull his hand away, letting my hair fall to cover my ear again - I don't like when things touch my ears...
   - But I wasn't touching... - he raises an eyebrow - is because of the shape..?
   - Kinda... - I look away - pointy ears are a very notable vampire trait, and I had to hide them in order to survive...
   - Oh... I'm sorry for that... - he pets my shoulder - but I have to say they're cute... - he smiles slightly.
   - You think so..? - I mumble.
   - Yep... - he moves the big hair lock from my ear again - it's like elf's... - he chuckles. I'm... Glad... He finds them cute... Most humans find them weird or quirky, but never cute... I pull him for another kiss, very softly. He's special... I like this warmth, Miguel's warmth...
   - I missed you... - he says though telepathy, pulling me closer by my nape.
   - Me too... - I think as I caress his arm. It's so muscular...
   Next, I feel something against my back, I break the kiss and turn around, and it's Meowy. I grab the cat, holding it on my eye level:
   - What's wrong, kitty?
   The cat just meow.
   - Hum... - I put the cat on Miguel's lap and walk out of there, to my neighbors' home.
   When I arrive there, Esther is sleeping on the couch and the movie seems to be ended a while ago. Cute...
   - What's wrong..? - I hear Miguel behind me, like his steps on the metal stair.
   - Esther fell asleep - I replie with a low voice.
   - Does she has any blankets..?
   - I think so... - I walk to her bedroom, and see a pink blanket on her bed, next to some plush toys, I grab the blanket and take it to the living room, putting it over the sleeping child. Meowy comes closer, jumping into the sofa and lying like a little fur ball next to her with closed eye. It's adorable...
   - Adorable... - Miguel mumbles, I nod - hey... - I look at him - it may be something random, but have you ever wanted to have children..?
   - Yes... - I replie - I still do, even though I can't...
   - Why..?
   - I'm... Infertile... And I've never had the conditions to raise a child...
   - Oh... - he looks away a bit sad.
   - And do you want to have children..?
   - I do, but at the same time, I'm afraid to be just like my father somehow...
   - Pookie... - I sigh and cup his face - you can say anything, but you'll definitely be better than him, it isn't that hard, you just have to be a descent parent, and you could be much more than that... - he looks at me with a small smile, I smile back and give him a small kiss on his lips - better..?
    - Yes... - he hugs me, nuzzling into my neck - Thank you... - I pet the back of his head. My pookie...
   - You're welcome, mon cher... - I mumble.
   - Caramia... - he mumbles. I don't know what he said, but it sounds sweet...
   We stay together for some more hours, cuddling, kissing and talking some bullshit until he leaves. I hope he gets home safe... I like those moments of us together, and it hurts when it's over, like I wake up from a nice dream into a cruel reality... He calms me down... He makes me happy...
