What is this feeling?(Alucard X Zilong)

The General And Demon Hunter

"I don't get why you have to be so uptight all the time.." The brown-haired general mutter as he cleared an obstacle in front of him, his jade-colored armor almost shining against the hot burning ray of sun. "I believe the term you would like to use was organized." the blonde male replied with almost a stern tone as he followed closely from behind, he was more than honored to be in the presence of one such as The mystical general himself, also known as Zhao Yun who had explained he would rather be called by his nickname which was Zilong. He was slightly disappointed at how Zilong was actually 2 faced in the sense of personality, in which he was very disciplined when it comes to doing his job but when it was only the 2 of them, his personality would switch and make him to a completely different person.

"Alucard! I found a good spot for us to set up camp for the night." Zilong yelled to his other male companion. Although they have only known each other for 3 months, he can see that Alucard isn't really a bad guy but rather someone who was really assertive. Alucard looked around the spot Zilong had pointed out, sweat dripping down his flawless skin as his blue eyes scanned for an area for him to put his stuff. Zilong had always heard of the so-called demon hunter who was merciless when it comes to murdering demons or in their terms 'terminating them', he would never suspect the partner he was assigned to was going to be fairly good looking. However, he had stopped himself from embracing these thoughts after learning that he was acquainted with a certain elf, of course, there was nothing official yet between them, but rumors spread like wildfire.

When night came, they sat there with the fire they made in the middle, accompanied by the sounds of crackling."General-... I mean Zilong, I must say it is an honor to be working with you again." Alucard's voice broke the silence between them. "Ah.. you don't have to say this every time we're paired up Alu.." Zilong smiled, his tone playful as he used the nickname he has given to the blonde male the second time they were paired up. What was it about this man? Why is he so alluring to him. Zilong kept asking himself during his time with Alucard, but he could never quite find the answer to that question. "I'll be going to bed now...See you tomorrow" Alucard replied dryly before laying down on the ground, Using his arm as a pillow. Zilong was laying opposite to his partner, his eyes scanning all of Alucard's distinctive facial features, from the fall of his gold blonde locks of hair to his shining lips slightly parted and that oh so broad chest rising up and down accompanying his small sighs as he slept. Alucard was never the talker, that's why when he wanted to converse he had to start it first by making small talk. Zilong quickly shook his head as he felt a warm blush crept onto his cheeks. He decided it was time for him to go to sleep as well, and so he closed his eyes before slowly drifting off to sleep.

"No!!" Zilong woke up as he heard a small yet terrifying scream. He opened his eyes to see Alucard drenched in sweat as he seemed to be in a curled up position. He sat up, before slowly crawling closer towards Alucard's sleeping body. "Alu?" he spoke softly but quickly stopped himself from advancing more, why wouldn't he? Alucard looked as if he was in a great amount of pain. "No...No!!" Alucard kept yelling as his eyes were still tightly shut, a dream? More like a nightmare. Zilong hesitantly leaned closer before dusting off few locks covering Alucard's face. He sighed before whispering "Alu... Wake up...it's a dream...It's just a dream!" he shouted.

Darkness, torture, sorrow that's what Alucard has been through. He has constant nightmares of that particular day, standing in front of his parents grave with a bouquet of flowers in his arms, his tears flowing down his cheeks as his heart was filled with both rage and despair. Then it fasts forward to him walking to the lair of the demons before being held captive. "Alu. Alu..." a voice? Who was it? Why is it calling to him? Sure enough his surroundings started getting hazy, everything became blurry. "Alu!snap out of it!" his eyes slowly opened and soon he found himself readjusting his vision to the person in front of him. "Zhao..." he suddenly muttered, his eyes glossy before suddenly getting filled with tears, and with that, Zilong finally saw it. The vulnerability in that man, the child-like innocence in his blue eyes. "Zhao..." Alucard muttered again, "I-I'm here.." and the sudden mention of his name sparked something inside him, butterflies? Is that what they call it? It was so unexpected and yet he can't help but think how good it made him feel.

Slowly, Alucard moved closer till his body was against Zilong before wrapping his arms around him. Zilong was, on the other hand, was starting to lose it. "Alu..?" he managed to say before submitting to Alucard's warm embrace. What was this? His chest felt like it was going to explode any second, Alucard was on top of him an yet he feels painfully ticklish. Was it rage? "Let me... just stay like this for the night." Zilong's body slowly slumped down, that's right. Whatever the reason for this, Alucard is a rational person, He is conscious of what he's doing. Right? Zilong reasoned with himself and not before long, he heard Alucard's soft sighs again. There he was, in the arms of someone he could regretfully say highly infatuated with. His hand slowly reaching up to wipe Alucard's wet cheeks. Guess this is how they'll be sleeping for the night.
