Who: Integra and Soma
When: Friday night
Where: Stoker house.
Summary: Alucard just might have made a mistake when he forced Soma's bad side out...
Warnings: Potential neck biting, and all that fun vampire stuff.

The middle of the night; this late in the evening, most of the residents of the Stoker House were well into sleep. There was one individual roaming the halls, however, especially since the ones he felt posed the biggest threat to him were no longer present. The things he could do when left to his own devices... he paused, a smirk curling up on his face, before he turned around, retracing his steps to the room of a certain... interest of his.

Silly woman, leaving the door unlocked; it swung open easily, and he quietly entered the room to stare at her sleeping figure. It was almost painful to look at, really; she resembled love lost so much it made his heart ache. A long moment of silence passed before he stepped forward, coming to a stop at the edge of her bed, a hand poised to reach out. Perhaps if he hadn't been so concerned with preserving her humanity, none of that would have happened. If he could just...

...his hand reached out, fingers gently touching golden hair, watching it fall away from her neck...

He gave her hand a squeeze; dammit, he hated seeing her like this. She was the strong one, she wasn't supposed to be worrying like this.

"He'd try to anyway. Don't worry so much about it."

Integra shook her head again. She'd just have to try harder and make sure Alucard stayed away from Soma for a while; she didn't want for him to be a trigger, God only knew what would happen, and while she knew Alucard wouldn't kill Soma... on purpose, she didn't want to take that chance, either.

Squeezing his hands in return, she hummed suddenly. "...I've got a request for you, and it's going to sound strange."

"What is it?" Soma asked, tilting his head curiously at the sudden change of topic.

"I want you to stay in here with me for the remainder of the night," she replied calmly.

Really, she wanted to keep an eye on him, make sure he'd be alright, and furthermore... she'd awaken immediately if the damned vampire decided to try and up and leave via Soma's body.

"..."

Soma knew what she meant, and he could understand her concerns. Really, he really could! But like hell that didn't stop his face from turning bright red.

"In... in here? W-where...?"

Despite the situation, and what had just happened, Integra couldn't stop herself from chuckling as she watched his face turn red. Perhaps she was just overly exhausted, after all the adrenaline was wearing off.

"I trust you enough to let you sleep in my bed," she supplied with a shrug. It was true, too; she trusted Soma far more than most others she'd met here, and besides, they were friends. This was alright.

...sorry, you just made Soma's brain come up with a BSOD. Reboot required.

...he was going to be huddled against the edge of the bed, he knew it.

After a moment, he finally swallowed, managing to move his head in a numb nod. Wow, this was just going to be a disaster, he knew it already.

Sighing, she lightly tugged the poor young man over to the edge of the bed, before finally letting his hands go, rolling her eyes at his expression.

"Come, now, it won't be that bad. I don't snore and I don't kick. At least, that is what Alucard tells me," she replied, humming thoughtfully. Well, she didn't kick or move much unless she had a nightmare, he'd informed her. But this was neither the time nor place to discuss such a thing.

"Considering the source..." he began, not sure if he would believe Alucard in that respect. Even if she did kick him, he probably just found it amusing and ignored it.

"If I kick you, you may kick me back even harder. How does that sound, hm?" she quipped in return, huffing. Really, she'd make sure to keep her limbs to herself.

Walking over to her closet, she opened it and dug around for a moment, before finding a second pillow, which was unceremoniously tossed at his head, an amused look crossing over her features.

Soma let out a disgruntled noise, finally accepting that he was essentially stuck with a defeated sigh.

"You know I'm not going to do that..." he muttered, shuffling over to the other side of the bed... as far to the other side of the bed as he could manage.

"Why not?" She asked him tiredly, before nonchalantly sliding into the opposite side of the bed. Between the look on his face and the way he stayed a fairly good distance from her, she finally laughed, unable to help herself.

"I don't bite, either, Soma."

Soma let out an exasperated noise; was he the only one that could accept the fact that this was embarrassing as hell and meant things?

"I know you don't," he muttered instead, burying his face in the pillow. Integra could still see how red his ears were though. "G'night."

"Honestly..." she mumbled, pausing as she just sort of pulled the covers over herself, huffing in annoyance as she tugged them over him, too.

"I'm simply stating I'm not going to kill you, should you decide you actually want to be comfortable and scoot over this way. Hn, good night," she murmured in return, flopping onto her back.

Soma let out a frustrated sigh; it was pride, Integra. P R I D E. He knows you're familiar with the concept. Besides, he's supposed to have a girlfriend, even if he... never sees Mina again and all that. Just... ARGH.

This was going to be his most sleepless night ever. Thank god for weekends.

Hey man. You're the one who denied having a girlfriend. Even so, Integra really doesn't seem to care about the situation at hand. She's used to sharing her bed with a heat leaching vampire, after all.

She suddenly hoped Alucard stayed in the attic tonight...

Pleasant dreams, Soma~.
