Request: Opening the flood gates (Alucard x reader)
Request: "Hi! if it’s not to much, can you do an Alucard x fem! reader who tends to ball up her emotions? whenever she’s sad or frustrated she just keeps it all in. and then Alucard decides to ask her what's wrong and that’s her breaking point. idk if this makes sense but I hope it does! <3"
A/N: my apologies that this took me so long, things have been a bit hectic lately! I also made this gender neutral, I hope you don't mind.
(Y/N) had never been the most vocal when it came to expressing emotions and yet in the past weeks, Adrian had felt his partner drifting further and further from him. It had all begun with the shifting of the villagers into their newly established Țepeș-Belmont estate. Adrian had left (Y/N) behind to protect the knowledge stored in the vaults below the castle while he travelled to help the nearby village. When he returned, he did so with at least fifty villagers in tow.
Initially (Y/N) had seemed excited by the prospect of new people but this excitement had soon diminished. A sulky and stormy gloom had taken over (Y/N's) once sweet and beaming smile whenever Adrian spoke to them about matters pertaining to the villagers perhaps permanent residency. It had taken Adrian aback, (Y/N) were not one to turn away from helping those in need so to see them in such a state was unusual.
Naturally, Adrian decided the most logical decision was to simply ask (Y/N) what was wrong. So, on a warm afternoon not long into the stay of the villagers, Adrian plucked up the courage to lead (Y/N) away into the privacy of the castle. They had followed silently as he led them by the hand to his office and upon reaching the premise, had simply cocked an eyebrow at the dhampir. Adrian cleared his throat, "What's wrong? Ever since I came back with the villagers you’ve been distant."
(Y/N's) nostrils flared and they sharply inhaled as they rolled their shoulders back. "What's wrong? What's wrong! What do you think is wrong Adrian?" (Y/N) snapped fiercely at their partner. Adrian stepped back slightly, shocked by (Y/N's) sudden outburst. "This place was supposed to be our home, but you brought a bunch of strangers into without consulting me! It's not even the fact that you brought them here but that the two of you have excluded me from any decision made. Not to mention ever since you came back from the village you've spent all your time with that godforsaken woman! The only time I see you is when we go to bed!" (Y/N) angrily snarked. The flood gates had burst, and they would not be closed anytime soon.
Adrian opened his mouth to calmly retort before trailing off to think about what they had said. In this time a few stray tears of frustration had begun to trek down his love’s cheeks. "You're right. We decided to make this place our home; a center of knowledge from which we could teach the masses in Wallachia the knowledge of science. Instead, I invited the village to stay here, and Greta and I have made all of the decisions" Adrian conceded, "I know you've grown to care about the villagers, especially the children, and this is your home as much as mine. You have just as much right to make decisions about them staying here too. I do wish you had told me this sooner though, instead of bottling it all up" Adrian carefully stroked the tears away from their eyes before cupping their cheek in a comforting gesture. "And you don't have to be jealous of Greta. She's simply in charge in the village which is why I have spent so much time with her recently " Adrian assured, "after all we've been through together, you're the only one for me."
