The following morning:

I woke up to the sound of gentle snoring, my eyes immediately springing open to the sight of my bedroom. It was around 9 in the morning, I felt rejuvenated and full of life, like last nights events didn't even happen. I quickly diverted my eyes to the noise to my left, it was Alucard, peacefully sleeping beside me. Had he been with me the whole night?

I felt a sudden warm, loving yet excitable sensation, like butterflies rapidly fluttering around in my stomach. He was breathtaking, his elegant jawline cushioned against the pillow and his eyes barley visible through the fallen stands of his feather-light, raven hair.

He was lay on top of the covers, wearing only his slacks, I could never get bored of admiring him.

I flipped on my side and continued to study his beautifully defined face before gently running my fingers over his cold cheek.

"Mrrh.. Good morning..?" His deep voice murmured against the fabric, half asleep and slightly dazed.

"Morning!" I whispered enthusiastically, bright and chipper.

His eyes began to flutter open until his hazy red orbs met my face. "How are you feeling?" He enquired while shaking the hair from his face.

"I.. I feel great..!" I narrowed my eyes slightly confused while scratching the back of my head. "Who's blood did you give me.. Out of curiosity..?" I questioned, interested in why I felt so refreshed.

He sat up against the headboard and glanced down at me before rubbing his eyes. The No Life King appeared sleepy, it was an adorable sight. "...No ones.. (...) You began to heal all by yourself." His eyebrow raised, he seemed baffled.

"Oh?" I squinted, waiting for him to elaborate.

"Yes.. I don't understand why. (...) Maybe you're beginning to transition... Never the less it's a good thing." He explained to the best of his ability, his smooth, deep voice soothing me. He then brought his hand to my face and tenderly brushed my hair behind my ear. "I'm glad you're alright, you actually had me quite worried." His eyes fell as he zoned out slightly. "... What you did for me was incredibly brave and selfless.." He tilted his head and smiled kindly, his warm eyes glowing with admiration.

"There was no question about it.. I wasn't going to stand back and leave you in that state.." A lump formed in my throat as the image of his limp, lifeless body penetrated my mind. It was truly horrific, a heartbreaking picture that I just couldn't shake from my head. "...You mean too much to me." My lips trembled.

I placed my head on his stomach and listened to the soothing sound of silence, my warm cheek pressed against his ice cold skin with my arm wrapped around his waist.

He gently ran his fingers though my hair, reassuring me in his own way. "You needn't worry... I'm never leaving your side.. That's a promise." He spoke softly, sensing my worries.
