Asirel x Listener
WOWWOOW I know we just got some good Asirel content but I'm already hungry (or ig thirsty?) for more SO. Asirel comforting Pet in his own bizarre way
Title from A Stroke of Luck by Garbage
TWs: Emetophobia, Asirel (non-sexually) undressing Listener, and some Violence and Blood
Now you're really starting to panic. Each ragged breath stabs through your chest as you run back to the estate. You cursed yourself for wandering so far out of his property, straight into a monster hunter's trap. Thankfully you had your super natural speed, otherwise you'd be shit out luck in the middle of the woods, crawling back to safety.
You could see lights through the trees now, a shining beacon of hope as you dragged yourself over the fence and through the garden. You almost felt bad about trampling over the flowers, but you quickly got over it as another wave of pain ran up your spine.
Instead of going around the corner to the front door you knew would be locked, you found the closest window and jammed your elbow into it, shattering the pane and sending glass flying around you. You clawed your way through it, hissing as glass shards dug into your skin. A maid, clearly not expecting a vampire to crash through the window, shrieked and ran from the room.
"Sorry about the window," you muttered to no one, quickly rising back to your feet and rushing upstairs to your room.
Each step seemed to take more energy than the last before finally you got to your wing, throwing the door open with a loud slam and running to the bathroom. You just barely made it to the toilet before bile and blood burned the back of your throat.
The blood mixed with the water, staining it a deep burgundy color. You nearly gagged again looking at it and covered your eyes instead.
Footsteps rushed down the hall, stopping at the entrance to your room before continuing forward.
"Pet?" Asirel called out.
You tried to call out to him, but another wave of nausea came over you. He stepped in then, coming up behind you and resting a hand on your back.
You could hear his heart, racing as he tried to piece together what happened.
"Stay here for a moment, I'll be back."
You almost wanted to spit back a sarcastic response but you let him slip away back into the hallway. The sickness seemed to die down after that, and you watched the blood flush away.
You sat on the ground and looked at your elbow. Some glass was still embedded, shards that prevented the skin from reconnecting and healing itself. You picked out the bigger pieces you were able to get a hand on, tossing them into the little trashcan in the corner and sighed as the wounds finally closed.
Footsteps came back into the bathroom, Asirel gently grabbing your chin and turning you to face him. With a warm cloth, he wiped away the stray blood at the corner of your mouth.
"Tell me what happened, pet."
"Hunters." You let Asirel help you to your feet, then guide you over the bathroom counter and sit you on the marble. "I guess I went too far out and they thought I'd be an easy target. I thought there were only two. Drained one while his friend ran away, but another one got the jump on me."
Asirel hummed as you explained, cleaning away excess blood as checking you over. "And?"
"He stabbed me with a knife, probably laced with poison."
He pulled your shirt up, looking for the wound.
"Hey if you're gonna take my clothes off, at least take me to dinner first."
You hissed as Asirel placed a hand over the wound, the skin still irritated and red from the chemical the hunter used.
"Well, if you have enough energy to make a snarky comment, you're not in immediate danger." He pulled out a few smaller fragments of glass that had gone unnoticed by you, muttering to himself, "Thought I heard you break a window."
He tossed the shirt aside, following it with the rest of your dirty clothes. Gently, he placed and hand on your chin and turned your face to his.
Asirel examined you closely, looking for anything else that could be trouble. "I'm assuming that poison is what's slowing your natural healing abilities, I've never seen an injury of yours take this long to heal." He said, reaching up to pull a twig from your hair.
"Wait here a moment."
He didn't give you any room to argue, slipping away back into your room for a moment and coming back with silk pajamas. You slide off the counter, immediately regretting it as you nearly crumpled down to the floor. Asirel managed to stop you from hitting the ground, hold you up with his body weight.
"You're more weakened than I thought. Stay still."
He managed to get the silk set on to you, leaning you against his shoulder as he lead you back into your room. Gently, he laid you down into your bed and pulled the covers up.
You felt cold and hollow, the ends of your fingers were practically frozen over as you pulled the blanket closer to you. In your hazy vision you watched Asirel leave again, leaving you hollow in a different way. You're alone again, locked away from the prying eyes of the world, of course you were, kept away from others like you always were.
Your nails dug into the pillow, pulling it to cover your face and trying to hold back tears. You cursed at yourself, cursing for having such ridiculous feelings, cursing for harboring the need for human-like comfort.
The door shut quietly, snapping you out of your thoughts and drawing your attention to the footsteps coming closer. A hand rested on your shoulder, the other one lifting the blanket to slip under them.
Asirel coaxed you over, resting your head on his chest. His heartbeat was steady now, lulling you down into a calmer state.
You could hear people talking outside, guards taking different positions in the halls and around the estate.
"Guards, hm? You're really that worried?" You asked, trying to come across as teasing but instead your voice sounded meek and small.
"I can't have anyone getting to my pet while they're weak." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to your forehead. "Get some rest, you'll feel better when you wake up."
Asirel held you close, using one hand to cover the ear not on his chest, drowning out the sound of staff rushing about. All you could hear now was his heartbeat, his breath evened out as he closed his eyes.
You let out a long sigh, finally warming up in his embrace. Maybe he'll be nice enough to let you bite him once you feel better.

nashville is so random omg 😭😭😭 but that’s surely still fun as!! and acrobatic yoga???? i’ve never heard of that till now WOWWOOW
school’s been eh haha i’m in my final year of uni before grad now and we’re halfway the semester, so things are picking up again :/
(don’t mind me in rereading everything again bc they’re a certified classic 😎)
twas not fun cos it was during tet (which i also celebrate?!) but flying business class on long haul was admittedly a fun experience that i would never be able to afford on my own HAHA.
and this is acrobatic yoga! there are so many variations to this - flows (where you move from one pose to the next), pops (aka where you get thrown in the air) and whips (where you swing in btw your partner's legs and up) and it was a lot of fun.
school sounds hectic for you, quynh! take a deep breath, you got this! you've already survived several years before, this is just the finishing stretch!
