Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "W-won't he be able to tell i-if I just... you know?" Alan asked, blushing.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "Not unless you make it obvious," Peter said, as they approached the Hatter Mansion. He quickly transformed and hopped behind the bush with his clothes when he saw Elliot approach. "What do you want, outsider?" Elliot yelled at Alan.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "I-i just w-wanted to talk to Blood." Alan said, flinching some from the yelling. "M-my sister talked h-highly of him."
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Elliot mumbled something to himself. "Blood!" he called. "What the hell is it?!" Blood yelled, approaching the two from the mansion, when he saw Alan. "Oh... Hey."
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "H-hi." Alan said softly, giving a shy smile.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "He says he needs to talk to you," Elliot said, skeptical of the outsider. Blood nodded. "Follow me," he said to Alan, leading him to the backyard of the mansion, where there was a large table set for a tea party. He sat at the head of the table. "So what is it?" he asked.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "My sister talked highly of you so I thoaght I'd come to you." Alan said smiling fondly at the memory of his sister. "What was she like when she was here?" He asked, trying to be subtle about wiping a tear from his eye.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "I assume your sister was Alice," Blood said. "She was amazing. Every little thing here impressed her, she just had this innocence, that none of us seemed to have anymore... That is... until that bastard Boris took it from her..." His eyes narrowed in anger.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "She always talked about this place, it was her favorite place in the world regardless, I wish I could see it the way she did." Alan said, real tears falling down his face which he wiped away trying not show how upset he was.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Blood blinked, he moved his chair closer to Shane's, sliding his finger under the other's chin, and kissing him gently. "I used to come with Nightmare, to watch you dream," he said, his lips brushing against the other's as he spoke.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Alan blushed softly, he actually... really liked this. "You d-did?" He asked softly, lightly placeing his hands on Blood's arms.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "I love you, Alan," Blood said, kissing the other again, this time with a bit more tongue.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Fresh tears filled Alan's eyes and he wrapped his arms around Blood, kissing him back.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Blood held Alan close, kissing him passionately. "I wish you could've seen the same Wonderland she saw," he said. "Before it was torn apart by this war." He buried his head in Alan's neck.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "I bet it was beautiful, I u-used to draw the animals s-she described," Alan said, crying softly. "I haven't s-seen asingle animal sinse I-i got here." Alan clutched tightly to the Hatter.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "Shh,.. don't cry," Blood coaxed, wiping a tear from Alan's face. "I promise, I'll do whatever I can to get things back to the way it used to be." He smiled, kissing Alan again. He cleared histhroat, standing up. "You should probably go back to the castle," he said. "Knowing Vivaldi, she's worried sick about you by now." He chuckled softly.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "I-i doubt it she really wanted me to go out." Alan sniffled, wiping at his eyes. "Just a few more minutes atleast?" Alan asked, pleading eyes turned up to Blood.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Blood blinked, when his expression softened into a smile. "Sure," he said, kissing the top of Alan's head. Peter was pacing back and forth, getting rather antsy. He transformed into a human, put his clothes on, and pushed past Elliot, to get inside, and out back to where Blood and Alan stood. "How long does it take to fake a few tears, Alan?!" he demanded. "Get in, get out, we talked about this!" Blood was silent for a moment, as pure rage practically radiated from his body. "I think you should go," he said grimly.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Alan looked up at Blood before weakly glaring at Peter. "I'm tired of this." Alan stated, angry tears welling up in his eyes. "Alice would be so ashamed of me if she saw me right now." Alan looked up at Blood, the tears slipping from his eyes. "Blood, I'm so sorry for everything but you deserve someone strong, brave and beautiful. You deserve someone like Alice not me, not someone who is so easily broken by fear. Alice woundn't have done something like this to regain peace, she would have been brave, she would have fought... she'd smack me right now." Alan walked toward the door. "Now, I apologize for leaving but today is my sister's funeral and I'm going to spend it remembering her, not shaming her." Alan said, exiting the building, wiping hot tears from his face.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Peter followed as Alan ran out of the building, when they were stopped by Vivaldi. "You fool!" she yelled at Peter, pointing a finger in his face. "You idiotic, coward-bellied, ass! What were you thinking?!" "Well, he was taking too long!" Peter defended himself. "He can't just walk in and ask Blood to stop the war!" Vivaldi yelled. "He needs to talk to him first! God, you're a idiot!" "Well, you never told me that," Peter mumbled. Vivaldi's eyes widened, as the left one twitched. "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. As soon as she said that, Ace came running. "Take him!" she yelled, pointing to Peter, who shouted and struggled, as Ace pulled him away. Vivaldi took Alan's arm, leading him back to the castle. "We need a better plan," she said.
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Alan was very pale with fear as he was dragged away but forced himself to speak. "Being sneaky will only end badly," He said. "we should hold a meeting on neutral ground."
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 "It's going to be extremely difficult to rebuild up from this," Vivaldi scowled, walking quickly. "Damn that rabbit... Anywho, you may be right. I suppose I can invite the heads of each district over for tea... Though, maybe not Blood, he's rather miffed right now. And by miffed, I mean, if he saw you, he'd shoot you in the head."
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "I probably shouldn't even be at the first couple meetings but I can help set them up." Alan said, looking down sadly. "I just want to see this place beautiful again." He said, looking back up at her.
Xianghua Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Vivaldi sighed. "As do I..." she said softly. "I have to admit, even though I didn't much fancy that Alice, she did, for the most part, keep peace in Wonderland. It wasn't until Boris and Blood started fighting over her that the war began..."
Viperscreed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 "She told me all about this place when I was little." Alan said softly but cleared his throat and looked up at the queen. "When should we start preparing for the teaparty?" He asked.
