The faint sound of drizzling rain outside, the warm weight in your lap, and the softness under your hand, was enough to leave your thoughts in a pleasant lull. You knew you should be getting up to have a shower, but you were so comfortable.
A soft deep hum sounded out quietly from the vampire draped over your lap, and your attention was pulled back to him. His cheek was pressed onto your thigh, thick arms wrapped firmly around your waist to keep you in place. His body was far too long, even for this large couch, his legs awkwardly positioned as he laid on his stomach, having no intention of going anywhere. He reminded you of a cat, draped over the furniture in a way that should have been uncomfortable, and yet looking so utterly content.
Your lips pulled into a slight smile as you peered down at him, continuing to gently run your fingers through the thick luxurious black hair. He seemed to melt with every gentle stroke, the occasional pleased hum or sigh slipping from his lips, as your nails dragged lightly over his scalp.
It was rare to see him like this, so utterly content. Though these moments had been slowly starting to increase in frequency. The sight of him so relaxed, that severe haunted expression replaced by one of utter contentment, was one you would always cherish.
Your motions must have paused too long, because he stirred slightly, red eyes peeking out from beneath long dark lashes. A large hand curled around your own, dwarfing it as he gently drew it to his lips. His scruff scratched lightly at your skin as he pressed a warm kiss to your palm, red eyes searching yours, questioning silently if you were alright.
Smiling softly, you gave a simple nod in answer, and were graced with a small soft smile of his own. He gently squeezed your hand, and then released it, wrapping his arms back around you as he settled in again. Heart fluttering, you resumed your gentle motions, relishing in the silkiness of his hair, and the simple intimacy of the moment. His back rose and fell with a deep content sigh, and your smile widened a little more.
I realized now, that the Hellsing Ova cuts out and switches a lot stuff around. for insistence in episode 2, in the scene where Walter tells Seras he threw out her bed and replaced it with a coffin, which understandably makes her upset, Walter asks her if she still having issues with her new lifestyle, Alucard enters calls her idiot for not adhering to the fact that she is now a vampire, and he chews her out a bit, and then it ends and the conversation changes to topic of their weapons.
In the manga, it goes similarly, with Walter throwing out Seras’ bed, Seras gets upset and Walter goes on to explain why she needs to sleep in a coffin and that she needs to drink the blood. In the anime Seras doesn’t say anything after that, but in the manga she tells Walter that she’s afraid of drinking the blood, because she’ll lose something important.
This scene just enforces the fact, that Seras is still at a loss, thrown completely into a world and lifestyle that might force her to end up losing her humanity/innocence. Seras does not want to be a monster, I might be looking much into it, but I also think in her deep sub-conscious , she never, ever wants to become the same people that murder her parents and defiled her mother’s corpse. Seras’ character has always been about justice, and striving to be he a police officer was a chance to uphold those ideologies.And now that she has become a vampire, she has to drink human blood in order to live, something that is completely taboo to her, so course she would be uncomfortable wanting to indulge in any kind of blood lust.
Like the anime, Alucard comes in and starts chewing her out.
The conversations of the anime and Manga pretty much go the same way, Alucard tells her that she chose the night, and because of that she can never return to the light. etc.
But, here’s where the scene differ, in the OVA, like I said it just ends, with Walter gifting Alucard with Jackal.
In the Manga, Alucard takes in Seras dejected appearance and pretty much dismisses, his previous statement, saying that she’s doing fine and she can can keep tip-toeing her way along and that it really doesn’t bother him.
It just one small scene, but for me it makes a big difference and this why I prefer the manga version than the Ova/Anime’s interpretation. But, Also it shows that Alucard isn’t completely cold-hearted, as he appears. And it’s also another moment between these two that’s kind of heart warming, well at least to me, anyways.
Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens except you can hear it inexplicably playing – by a whole orchestra no less – while lost in the forest at night. You have a gut feeling that you shouldn’t, but following the music seems like your best bet at no longer being lost. Nevermind that you keep hearing footsteps around you that aren’t yours – there’s no one there, no matter how many times you check.

That’s not even all of GORGEOUS BROWN GEMS THAT EXIST IN THIS WORLD. Just like there are a lot of beautiful brown gems they’re a lot of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES. BROWN IS A GORGEOUS COLOR. Start treating it like one.
I am so glad someone did this.
if you don’t want someone to have brown eyes because you can’t compare them to a gem then you’re a bad writer
As a brown-eyed person, I appreciate this for a lot of reasons
Maybe I’m an old man but goddamn, these vampires with blood dripping down their chins–that’s your food!! THAT’S YOUR FOOD!! Close!! Your!! Mouth!! You think some asshole slobbering chicken noodle soup or yogurt or clam chowder all down themselves would be sexy??? What makes you any different, you sticky-stained slackjawed screwball??? Close your mouth!! Use a napkin!! And for godssakes stop looking so smug, like, “Oooo, I’m a creature of the night look at what sustains me” yeah uh huh a fucking lack of basic hygiene is what I’m seeing and it is not impressive!!
