1. Chapter 1 (1/1)

ok, this is tiny, but it's just... a slight tweak to each of two scenes. i hope you enjoy it.

disclaimer: *weary look* no. i don't own any of this stuff. but since the dvd's (finally!) coming out soon, i hopefully will own a copy of that.

vlad rolled them over so that he was straddling his adversary, stake poised and ready to plunge into his tutor's heart. "do it!" bertrand hissed, as the book began to open behind him. vlad stared down at the older vampire for a moment before throwing the stake into a corner of the room. "n-!" bertrand had reached for the book as it slammed shut, but his cry of despair was cut off as vlad gave into his teenage hormones, capturing his valet's mouth in a searing kiss.

bertrand froze, waiting for the catch, or the inevitable moment he woke up. it didn't come, and he was forced to accept the reality of the situation as vlad pulled back, looking mortified. "sorry, i... damn." his student closed his eyes, clearly waiting for a reprimand or for bertrand to announce that he couldn't stay at garside if the boy was going to get some kind of depraved crush on him. perhaps he was expecting bertrand to point out that this was not what he was hired for, and that being his valet didn't make him his plaything.

what he actually did was curl a hand around the back of vlad's neck and pull him back down.
