A Vampire's Truth

Chapter 3: Denial

"Well isn't this quite the sight."

Sypha smiled to herself, watching the two grown men cuddle, a bottle swaddled between them.

"Huh...wha-?"

Trevor mumbled, waking to the sound of giggling.

"My my, good to see you two getting along so well."

"Hm....what's going on...?"

Alucard mumbled, stirring out of his sleep.

"Oh....Sorry, Belmont."

Alucard pushed himself up, groaning in pain, visibly a bit hungover.

"I expect this from Belmont, but you too, Alucard?"

Holding his head in an attempt to ease the pounding in his head, he winced at Trevor.

"It helped last night, but I'm already regretting it this morning."

Alucard mumbled, elbowing Trevor.

"Hey now, while I may have encouraged it I didn't force you to drink more than half the bottle."

Trevor replied, lifting Alucard up by slipping an arm around his shoulders and helping him stand.

"Your going to have to put him in the wagon, Belmont."

With an eye roll, Trevor lifted him up on to his back with no protests.

"Huh...well your lighter then expected."

The hunter mumbled, climbing into the wagon.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Trevor grinned.

"Your quite dainty. Mind givin' me a curtsey M'lady?"

Alucard flopped down onto the seat and shoved trevor.

"I'm not just some tavern wench."

The dhampir hissed, making Trevor smile.

"What's so funny??"

He demanded.

Trevor flopped down across from him.

"Nothing. I'm....Just glad your responding now. Your not just a lifeless doll."

Alucard fell quiet.

"I...I know. Things at the castle have just been....difficult."

He squeezed his eyes shut remembering the siblings he'd left impaled on pikes.

"Did...Did something else happen?"

"No."

He lied bitterly, still angry at such betrayal.

Not to mention he was disappointed that his very first experience with any sort of sexual contact had been with someone whose intent wasn't genuine.

They had been using him the entire time.

He regretted wasting his first kiss like that.

He'd....just felt so lonely that he didn't even think twice.

Who would he have even had it with in the first place? That and he really didn't understand why he found this so upsetting.

"You sure sound about pissed about something, Alucard. Your eyes are turning red."

Trevor said pointedly.

Alucard's fingers rose to his eyelid.

"Ah. It's nothing really."

"Mm-hm."

Trevor replied, not really believing the Dhampir.

"If you don't want to talk about it then that's fine, Alucard."

"I don't."

He huffed, leaning back and covering his eyes in an attempt to sooth his hangover.
