Forge-uary Day #02! Blushing/Crushes (ft. Dimitri x Scarlet)
----
Dimitri thought the job should be simple. Scarlet was only a little roughed up after her encounter with Jamison Trent. And then she asked him something that gave him pause.
"Why help me?"
"…Excuse me?"
"It's just… I did hurt you. And your team… That's why you left me chained up… Why help me now?"
"Well…" he thought for a moment of how best to answer. Mostly he was doing this because Team Monster asked him to, and their leader was on good terms with Elysia... But that felt a little too.. rude... So instead he smiled. "Part of the downside of being a doctor is a short-term memory loss. It's hard to hold grudges when you see someone in need…"
She smiled a little… And then he heard it. Her heart fluttering.
That infectious sort of fluttering that could only mean one thing. Scarlet seemed to then remember Dimitri's vampiric hearing and tried to play it off. She turned her head away, immediately all huffy and indignant. Muttering something about how silly that was of him.
Dimitri winced.. He hoped she wasn't developing a crush on him. A widower like him?? For someone as gorgeous as she was?? No.. No no.. No, surely, he must've misheard? Surely it was just a passing moment. A.. moment of comradery or… s-something….
Surely… it wouldn't turn into something… more…
...could it?
