Snippet #1535529

(That evening...)

Alec woke up from a deep sleep, one of his arms extended straight out to his side, Otter nuzzled up with her head on top of it. He looked over, her form just perfectly covered by the single sheet that had somehow managed to remain on the bed with the two of them. He looked down at himself, naked, on top of the sheet. It had been a long day, but night was coming. It was time to get up. Alec reluctantly rose up to a sitting position, then turned his head to stare at Otter for a second. He'd never been with another of his kind before, and he wasn't sure about what should come next. Would Otter want him to be there when she woke up? Would she want him gone? Alec suddenly realized what he was thinking, that he was actually giving a damn about another creature for once in his life, and jolted up from the bed, startled by the idea that he might actually have a heart or soul or some petty human bond like that inside him, grabbed his clothes, and then found Otter's bathroom.

He tried to keep quiet, but she would probably be waking up soon too. Alec snuck into her bathroom, dropping his clothes onto the ground and then turning on the sink, waiting for the water to steam. He glanced at himself in the mirror, still little bits of blood in his hair, standing out from the white of it, then reached down and grabbed his pants. He stuck the bloody parts into the sink, then scrubbed the crusted gore off, skillfully managing to keep it all in the sink. He had done it before many times. Satisfied with his pants, he cleaned all of his other clothes, then got in the shower, the water washing away all the blood that was left on his body. While he cleaned himself, he wondered if Otter would want to go killing with him that night, then cut the thoughts short. Why the Hell would he care? Besides, she was a Vampire too, maybe she would want to be alone. He didn't really even know her at all. Dammit! Alec cut off his own thoughts again, unsure why he kept dwelling on it. Just don't think about it!

He continued cleaning himself, the blood all run down the drain, and his thoughts wandered again. He wondered if she was awake yet. If he should sneak out if she was asleep still, or maybe wake her up? Maybe she would get in the shower too, then they could both go out for the night and... have some more fun.
