27. Just the Way You Are (1/1)

random little het one-shot. loosely inspired by

uno mars' 'just the way you are'. enjoy!

disclaimer: not mine.

"i'm still posing as vlad's girlfriend so he's got an excuse to not let the count set him up with someone worthy and connected… ingrid keeps talking about how i'm going to have to let him bite me eventually if we're going to be together, and i'm worried. i mean, what if he decides he still needs me as cover? what if he actually wants me to change?"

jonno tossed a small stone across the empty car park, watching it bounce a few times before coming to a halt, and turned to erin."then he's mad. you're amazing just the way you are." she blinked at him for a moment, then burst out laughing."did you just quote

uno mars at me?" he grimaced; he hadn't made the connection. he knew those words sounded too natural together to be spontaneous."um, maybe? totally dorky, i know." she snuggled closer, looping her arm through his, and rested her head on his shoulder."only in all the best ways."

it seemed only natural to kiss her, then, under the stars and far from prying eyes. she kissed him back, to his surprise and delight, and then they sat for a few moments, just cuddled together staring out at the night."c'mon. i'll walk you home." she grinned then, teasing."wouldn't want the vampires to get me." he laughed, kissing her on the forehead, still hardly believing she was letting him."yeah, still. i'll walk you home."
