Room 507: Monday afternoon

Jun 12, 2006 18:30

Nadia thought it would be prudent, after her conversation with Pippi at lunch, to hide out in her room until the urge to tell people the truth went away. So she was laid out on her bed with her feet up on the wall, reading How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and wondering if becoming voluntarily mute was a viable option.

Walter finished up his lunch shift at the restaurant and went to see how Nadia was doing.

He knocked on her door and announced himself, "It's Walter."

"I think I did scratch her ears at one point, but the way she smelled mostly just made me wonder how you would smell wearing the same perfume."

"That's sweet. Even if it does make it sound like you're more committed to our relationship than I am. But it totally caught me off guard, so it shouldn't count."

"You have never given me any reason not to trust you. You've been nothing but a good friend and a good girlfriend. So I think I can give you this one."

It took an effort not to deny that, to bring up all the stupid things she'd done instead, but he hadn't asked her any questions, so she was able to do it.

"Thank you. You've been a better friend then I probably deserve. And a very good boyfriend."

Well, she sort of avoided it.

He sighed, "I've had a bad day that makes me think that I don't deserve anyone and I'm asking you, please, don't ask me about it, or I'll have to tell you, and then I'll feel like an ass again."

"Pfft. You're not an ass. Who did you talk to? That's not asking what you said, and I can hit them for making you feel like an ass."

"Seras. And she didn't make me feel like an ass. I was an ass."

"Well, I can't say I don't believe you, but I'm sure it was a passing thing. Because you're not an ass. You're a gentlemanly butler."

She hadn't asked a question, he was just going to keep his mouth shut. That was really, really for the best.

Kissing had worked that morning. He leaned over to give her a kiss.

Nadia kissed him back quite willingly, though she was a bit upset that he didn't feel like he could talk about it with her. Ah well.

When she broke off the kiss, she leaned her forehead against his. "I'm a bit upset that you don't feel like you can talk about it with me."

She really ought ot have known better.

He sighed and let it out in a rush. "Seras is probably from my dimension, or one like it. The vampire who possessed me recognized her and said that he didn't understand why Alucard had brought her home, and I didn't tell her that because Alucard said he'd replace me and I didn't want it to be her. And I told her today because I didn't have any choice and we argued and I told her that in my world only virgins can become vampires so if she really didn't want to be a vampire, she should do something about that. Only I didn't know that her mother was murdered and raped in that order and she can't stand the idea of ever having sex and I was a complete ass to her just because I'm jealous of the idea that she could be the new person in Alucard's life."

He drew away and swallowed hard. "And that's why I didn't want to tell you about it."

"Oh.

Shock, it seemed, was an effective antidote to the truth spell. There was too much in her brain right now for it to come out her mouth.

"Do you want me to go now?"

Nadia just looked at him for a long moment, until finally her thoughts settled down into something slightly more coherant.

"Maybe." She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "Do you still care about him? Alucard? Did you . . . do you love him?"

Walter swallowed hard and nodded. "I do still love him, and I can't have him and now I've hurt you and I'm sorry. I hurt everyone I care about."
