Revolution Is A Simple Thing

Viktor Kuznetsov || 25/125 || Vampire

Raven loved her husband fiercely. She didn’t want to think of a life without him. Her lifetime was far shorter than his; he had immortality and she had…magic. That was it. She returned the kiss he placed chastely. “You and me both.”

While he loved her, and trusted her words that she loved him, he didn’t deepen the kiss past her chaste sweet one.  He wanted her, but still wasn’t sure whether she desired him, and wasn’t about to threaten their bond, be it platonic or romantic at this point.  Though the kissing at least reassured him the relationship was a romantic one.   “No matter how long it is, I’ll be here at your side for every moment of it.”

Viktor brought out a whole new side to Raven that she hadn’t braced herself for. She couldn’t imagine being with anybody else, couldn’t imagine loving someone nearly as much. And this day, as rushed as it was, was perfect because she only needed the people she loved there and that was what she was given. Only Viktor, Naida, and Fawn were there. “And you are, too. I didn’t think I’d live this long,” she admitted. “You’re the love of my very short life.”

“Hopefully it will be even longer than expected.”  Viktor leaned in to kiss her gently, not even wanting to think of the day he’d lose her.  He knew it would come, but it was something he had no intention of anticipating.  “Hopefully it will simply be the regular amount of short, and not very short.”

Yelena rolled her eyes again. “If you hated it so much, you could have ended your life decades ago” she pointed out. But he hadn’t, and she took that as proof that he did, in fact, want to live. Then she chuckled. “That’s really none of your business. You gave up your right to show any interest in my life when you left me.” She knew she hadn’t been a good person back then, but being left had still hurt her.

“There’s a difference between dying on a battlefield and willingly ending your own existence.”  Viktor’s gaze hardened at her response to his inquiry, his anger barely hidden, which was very uncharacteristic of him.  No one riled him up more than his sire.  “Like you ever cared about me to begin with.  My interest is at least genuine.  I was never more than a pet you could torture, manipulate and control.   It’s laughable that you’re acting like I somehow affected you.  But I’ll not ask again.”

Yelena sighed again. “I also kept you alive for a century” she said. She stood by her belief that protecting him should count for something. “You could show some gratitude for that.” Then she snorted. “If you even try and kill me, the council will end you.” And from the stories she knew about the council, they’d probably end anybody he cared about as well - while making him watch. “Besides, you aren’t worth me facing the council’s wrath. I’m more concerned about dealing with my future marriage.”

“Yes, because I asked to be saved in the first place.”  Viktor’s words were still harsh, but they’d lost their aggressive edge, more confused than anything now.  Yelena in the past never would’ve stood for him arguing with her, not that he really tried.  Her will had always been stronger than his when he had nothing to fight for.  “Who got stuck with you now?”

Yelena sighed. “I’m not that woman anymore” she said. She had looked for Viktor in the days after he left. She suspected she’d come close to finding him, but then those damn witches had interfered and turned her humanity back on. Afterwards, she’d been too depressed to worry about her progeny. At his threat, she felt some of her old temper come flaring up to the surface. “You could try. But don’t forget that I’ve got more than a century on you.” She’d made him and she was annoyed he felt like he could talk to her in such a way. “You just aren’t that important, Viktor. I have bigger things to worry about.” She’d stopped thinking of him as being special after her humanity had come back on. Now he was just a painful reminder of her past misdeeds.

“Today perhaps.”  Viktor didn’t trust the change, especially not  with her flare up of anger.  “Maybe so, but you also don’t have near a century of fear, emotional manipulation, and hate fueling you forward.  Make any sort of move towards me or anyone I remotely care about and I’ll definitely be trying.”  Vik didn’t care if he was her one and only anymore, and they all had things to think about.  She would certainly be on the list of concerns he had for the future.

“How would you suggest I started?” Yelena asked. She knew she’d done awful things as a vampire, but she’d kept Viktor alive for over a hundred years. That should count for something, right? “What I want is to not be here” she said. “Unless you can make that happen, then I want nothing from you.”

“Either by killing me for abandoning you or trying to manipulate and control me again.  Not with pleasantries.”  Viktor hated how just her presence could ruin his whole day and completely upend his calm.  Everything that made him happy now was in danger with her here, and his vigilance to protect those he cared about had to increase with Yelena around. “I mean, I could kill you, that’s always an option, but I doubt that was the solution you’re looking for.  Nothing. Really.  That would be a first.”

Text 📱 Fawn & Open

Fawn: I'm rewatching Witches of East End.

Fawn: Their mythology is bullshit, but that Jenna Dewan is a babe.

Vik: Can't say I've heard of the show, or this Jenna Dewan, but I'll take your word for it

Yelena felt the memories of everything she’d done to him come flooding back. That was the worst part of having her humanity back on: remembering everything she’d done with it off and feeling guilty for it. Honestly, those witches couldn’t have come up with a better punishment. “Its been quite some time, hasn’t it?” she said. “How have you been?” She wasn’t going to mention what had transpired between them unless he did. She’d do her best to ignore it, as she always did when she felt uncomfortable.

“How’ve I been.  That’s your intro.”  Vik couldn’t help the bitter laugh that left him, the fear over what Yelena would do to Raven, or anyone else he’d even looked at rising at the awkward and tense conversation.  “Cut the crap, what do you want Yelena?  I’m not in the mood for games today.”

@vamp-vik

Yelena sat in the hotel bar, drinking a martini. She was trying to forget the immense stress she was feeling about having to get married. She’d spent so long trying not to feel anything, and now all she felt was anxiety. As she was downing the last of her drink, she caught a familiar scent. It was one she knew all too well, thanks to the century she’d spent memorizing it. Spinning her head around, she spotted her progeny across the room. “Viktor?” she said in surprise, feeling herself getting nervous now.

Vik hadn’t ever been happier.  He was married to a woman he adored, and he was hoping to find a good home for them, some place that wasn’t just a fancy hotel room.  However, his newfound bliss apparently had him quite distracted, as he didn’t notice his sire in the bar until her voice calling his name sent a chill down his spine.  He hadn’t even thought that she’d show up here now, his former fear that she’d arrive dissipating as time went by, yet here she was.  His expression dropped, and he tensed, everything about him fearful, on edge and ready to run.  “Yelena.”

Why shouldn’t I be at your wedding, Raven? I’m your mother!

You may be my mother but you’re not invited. You don’t get to come and ruin my day. I get one day of peace that you don’t get to ruin.

And so, Ava wasn’t there. Raven’s wish was granted. The only people at her wedding were the only people she wanted there: her aunt, her sister, and Viktor, her new husband.

Husband. They were married now. 

“I really do enjoy how that sounds,” she admitted, her nose scrunching a bit.

“Me too.  It’s odd, but in a good way.”  She was his wife.  That thought alone was enough to make him grin, the vampire studying his new family with awe and affection.  “I never expected to be anyone’s husband if I was being honest, and now I’ve the best wife I could’ve ever dreamed of.  You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me Raven.”

They won. For once, Raven had something that her mother couldn’t spoil, even if she had to ‘cheat’ to do it. While the council had raised their eyebrows when she said they wanted a Justice of the Peace ceremony, she’d begged them not to tell Ava. This wedding should have been about them. 

Raven leaned her head against her new husband’s chest and for once, she let herself be happy. They both deserved to be happy. “Good luck trying to change me out for someone else now,” she teased, her chin tilting up so she could see him better. “Are you happy?”

While Ava had begged, Vik had threatened.  He’d fought for the vampires well in the war, and the Vampire leaders especially owed him, especially such a small and respectful favor.  Raven’s wedding day would be her own, and nothing was going to ruin that. 

Looking down at the witch against his chest, Vik couldn’t help but still be surprised she was so happy to wed him.  Even if he himself was so overjoyed and smitten with her as his bride.  “I never would.”  Smiling down at her, it brightened to a grin.  “Of course I’m happy.  How could I not be with you as my bride?”

[vamp-vik]

xelegantxsavageryx‌:

“I think you’re the one thing I’m the most sure of,” she admitted. She, of course, would love to have Fawn and Naida there; it wasn’t a wedding without her two closest family members. “Even if it’s just them and you, that’s all I need.”

Vik beamed at her words, nodding. “Alright.  Then I’ll ensure it’s just us and an officiator if I can.  If not we’ll do it suddenly so she has no chance to come.”  Unable to resist, the vampire gently lifted a hand to her chin and lifted it just lightly so he could kiss her gently.

[vamp-vik]

xelegantxsavageryx‌:

Raven was used to people using her for her magic and just taking what they wanted from her. She wasn’t used to being treated like an actual person, let alone someone worth adoring. Her head rested on his chest for a moment and let herself feel completely human. “Just say the word and we can just…get married.”

Vik paused only a moment before putting his arms around her, a hand gently cupping the back of her head for just a moment before she spoke.  “Let’s do it.  I assume you’ll want you sister and aunt there?”  He paused a moment before looking at her.  “You truly want to do this?  We can wait longer if you’re still unsure of me at all.’

[vamp-vik]

xelegantxsavageryx‌:

At the very least, Raven wanted Fawn there. Her aunt was the closest thing she had to a mother and she loved her like a sister. “I think I’ll be happy as long as it’s you I’m marrying,” she admitted.

Viktor looked at her in surprise, touched by her words.  He’d not encountered anyone wanting him like this well...ever.  Not in a healthy way at least.  The vampire smiled and bent, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.  “Just as I am delighted to be wedding you Raven.  I adore you.”

[vamp-vik]

xelegantxsavageryx:

Part of her was wondering if they could rush when the time came. Her eyes softened as he spoke, her teeth worrying her bottom lip. “You’re awesome. Like…I don’t think anyone else would be this cool with this,” she commented.

“If they weren’t they’d be fools.  I’d be happy even if we just signed a paper and said I do to the air.”  Vik smiled at her softly, nodding.  “I just hope that you’ll be happy.”

[vamp-vik]

xelegantxsavageryx:

Raven had never been in love before. She had no idea how to express it or how it felt, but in that moment, she was completely sure she loved Viktor. No one had ever called her perfect or a gift or looked at her like she was worth anything, let alone made her feel as though she deserved a wedding day. This had to be what it was like. 

“Thank you,” she told him sincerely, her thumbs tracing over his fingers. “I just…need to know this is going to be okay, that this is all going to work out.” That her own mother didn’t have to be there. 

“No need to thank me Raven.  It will be okay, and it’s going to work out.  I promise I’ll do everything in my power to ensure that it does.  Your mother won’t hurt you again if I can help it.”  Vik met her eyes earnestly, wanting her to believe him.  He would do anything for her, the vampire absolutely smitten.

[vamp-vik]

Raven wadded up her napkin and stuffed it in the nearest bin. “I’m dragging my feet because the council’s tight with my mother and she’s going to want to be here for it and she’s the worst person I’ve ever met. You don’t deserve to be put in that middle because I don’t like who I am when she’s around.”

It came out in a long rush of word vomit and she took a deep breath. “My mom raised my sister and I on her own, mostly. My dad took off because she cheated on him after I was born and that’s how Naida came to be. She spent the rest of my childhood and Naida’s resenting us for her poor decisions. And she doesn’t see how any of it was her fault or her own doing. She’s overbearing and borderline heartless and the longer I put it off, the less likely it is for me to see her again. Part of me is terrified they’re going to bring her here.”

Viktor stopped as the witch spoke, his eyes fixed on hers as she shared her hesitation and concern.  Family wasn’t something the vampire had had to struggle with in quite a long time, but he could understand how hard that would be for her.   Reaching out, he took her hands in his before he spoke, looking at her earnestly as he did so.  “Then we’ll put it off.  Avoid it for as long as we can.  But. When the day does come.  It’s going to be your day.  Even if I have to lock your mother in a closet to make it so.  I won’t be in the middle of anything, but I will stand up if I see you mistreated.  You are..You are perfect Raven.  A gift.  And I’ll see if I can convince the council not to invite her.  I know a few of them from the war, perhaps ours can be a bit more sudden than others.”
