Ethan x Ivan fluff
Ethan p.o.v.:
“This stupid bitch!” I say when Ivan stumbles, half burned to death, through the door. Without any hesitation I grab my medical utensils and make my way downstairs. “Well, well, look at you fuckface.” With a smile plastered on my face I walk towards him. As soon as his eyes meet mine, I notice something is very wrong. Like prey he watches me, as I walk straight up to him. Grabbing his chin, I examine his burned face. Ivan whimpers but complies without any further complains. Due to the sun still shining through the glass windows I decided it would be for the better to go upstairs. “Come on whelp! Before you burn yourself to death!” Ivan doesn’t move, doesn’t look at me and hasn’t talked at all since he came in. Annoyed I take his arm and drag him after me, he follows me silently up to my room.
I close the door behind us and begin to take a closer look at his burns. He hasn’t moved an inch from the door. “Can’t you move on your own?” Finally, he looks at me, although his movement is slow and sluggish. As his eyes wander around the room, I see confusion in them. “Where…?” he begins but I cut him off. “Oh, look who’s back from the dead. Now be quiet and sit on the bed!” His steps remind me of a deer, hesitant and unsure. Finally, he sits down, a silent groan leaving his lips. “Strip!”, he looks just as surprised as I. Ivan tries to lift his shirt, but judging from the noises he makes, let’s just say, we’d still sit here till tomorrow. “How pathetic, you can’t even take your shirt of yourself.” I roll my eyes at him and lift his shirt over his head. He struggles as I peel the fabric off his burned skin. “Hold still, goddamn it! It will hurt more if you move around!” Still Ivan whimpers and squirms, until the shirt is of. When I look at him again his eyes are full of tears and instantly, I feel bad for him. He is still so young. And foolish, but still… “This can’t keep happening Ivan, one day you will go too far and I can’t help you anymore.” He averts his gaze and nods.
I sigh, and turn around to search for a cream to put on his wounds. After finally finding the one I need, I turn back to him and start to patch him up. He flinches and hisses every so often and sometimes I have to hold him still. While I tie a bandage around his throat, where the burns are the worst, he suddenly screams, grabs my arm and pulls me against him. “Fucking hell!”, he growls “watch what the fuck you are doing, that hurt!” I wasn’t prepared for his sharp tone, I always considered him to be a fucking whimp. “Well,” I say, slapping his hand away “if you would simply sit still like I told you to, it wouldn’t hurt that much.” He still glares at me but keeps his mouth shut. Finally, after a few more incidents I was able to treat all of his wounds. “Honestly, I would have never guessed that you were the one to look after me. I always considered you to be the asshole of the family.” He admits bashfully. My eyes widen and I can feel the little blood I have in my body, shoot into my face as I turn red.
I look at him and for a few seconds I am lost in his amber eyes. Then he breaks the silence as he clears his throat. “I should probably go now. Thanks again for… taking care of me.” Before he can stand up from my bed, I push him on his back. “You should definitely stay here. I don’t want anything else to happen to you. Who knows maybe you will die on the way to your room because you thought it would be a good idea to open a curtain or something.” I try to hide my concern for him with my mocking words but the smile on his face tells me he sees right through my façade.
Still smiling Ivan scoots to the side so I can sleep next to him. I turn red again. Of course. His smile vanishes as confusion overtakes his face. “Are you alright?” the little gremlin dares to ask me “I don’t think it’s healthy for a Vampire to be that colour.” I scoff “And what, pray tell, do you know about Vampires? As someone who puts us all in danger by going out in the day and nearly dying.” Ivan flinches. Fuck that was the wrong thing to say. I sigh “Let’s just go to bed.”
For the first few minutes neither one of us dares to say a thing. It’s not hard to tell that Ivan is still awake, no sign of sleep. “You know, I wasn’t trying to be rude. I’m simply concerned for your well-being, so please be careful next time.” He shifts around, his face only a few inches away from my own. “Why are you so nice all of a sudden? Not that I’m complaining or anything, it just… it’s weird.”
“Stop spouting nonsense and go to fucking sleep!” I press his head away from mine with one finger. This is getting way to sappy for me, the sun really fucked with his head. Ivan starts pouting and looks at me like a little dog. “But I’m hungry!” I facepalm internally. Why is this always happening to me? He is still staring at me with puppy dog eyes. I sigh loudly. “Alright, but don’t think this is going to be a regular thing!” I tell him and start rolling up my sleeve. His eyes gleam like he just got new shoes for Christmas as I give him my wrist. He doesn’t waste any more time and sinks his fangs in my hand. “Ah, hey! Be more careful you are not a new-born pup anymore, you should know how to drink without hurting your food.” He just whines, not letting up from drawing the blood out of me.
Ivan gradually slows and blissfully closes his eyes. I notice how tired he is getting, now that he is full. He starts swaying and I move us carefully, till he is laying on my chest, barely suckling now. Eventually he stops completely, going limp in my arms. Soon his even breaths lull me to sleep as well.
Guess who’s back, back again.
