After a thorough lecture from Vivian, Adam and Orion were treated with first aid from none other than Vamp.
"Ah- Ouch! It stings!" [Adam]
"Oh come on, it's just some ointment." [Vamp]
"Can't we just skip this part?" [Adam]
"Not unless you want a scar, sure." [Vamp]
"Sure, I'll take one." [Adam]
Vamp smacked the back of Adam's head after hearing his words.
"I didn't raise you to hurt yourself. Be smart, not dumb." [Vamp]
"Then why did you hit my head? You probably just killed the few brain cells I still have." [Adam]
"Want another?" [Vamp]
Raising his hand, Vamp motioned for another smack to the head.
"...No sir." [Adam]
Thanks to the previous conversation, Vamp was able to quietly apply ointment to Adam's wounds.
"How're you holding up, Orion?" [Vamp]
Turning to Orion, Vamp glanced at his wounds.
"I'm… Fine. All I took was one blow." [Orion]
"Yeah? And what about those bandages? I don't think one blow would need all of that." [Vamp]
Vamp pointed out the bandages the school nurse put up on Orion, which caused him to try to cover it up a bit with his arms.
"These… were from earlier." [Orion]
"From what? Falling down some stairs?" [Vamp]
"Erm… Yeah." [Orion]
"Doubt it. Tell me the truth or I might have to throw you down a flight to get it." [Vamp]
Orion looked at him with a surprised look in his eyes. He really wasn't sure if what he heard was correct.
"...Are you sure you're a hero?" [Orion]
"Damn straight. Ranked third on the board. Now, are you gonna tell me or not?" [Vamp]
"...I'll tell you after you fix Adam up." [Orion]
"Oh, really? What a coincidence. I'm just about done!" [Vamp]
He grabbed a roll of bandages from a first aid box and began to wrap Adam's wounds in it. After placing a few finishing touches here and there, Vamp slapped Adam's back.
"All done!" [Vamp]
"Ack! What the hell?!" [Adam]
"Hey! No swearing!" [Vamp]
"Hell isn't a swear word!" [Adam]
"No, but I can feel it in your voice." [Vamp]
Adam looked at Vamp with an incredibly confused expression. His confusion lasted so long that Vamp was able to turn over to Orion and begin treatment as well.
"Now, your turn." [vamp]
"...Please don't give me the Adam treatment." [Orion]
"No promises." [Vamp]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Orion received the "Adam treatment". After having applied ointment and wrapped in bandages, Vamp gave Orion a good slap to the back.
"Ngh…!" [Orion]
"Finally finished! Now what do you guys think about a tour of the house?" [Vamp]
"Let me just go to bed…" [Adam]
"I could use a nap too…" [Orion]
"Nope!" [Vamp]
Grabbing the two by the collar, Vamp began to drag them around the house.
"We're going on that tour whether you guys like it or not!" [Vamp]
"Can I at least see my sister first?" [Orion]
"Your sister? ...Oh, that little girl. Sorry, but that's a no no. She's already tucked in bed." [Vamp]
"What? You let her sleep, but not us?" [Adam]
"She's too young to stay up this late." [Vamp]
Adam felt like he was full of it. Just to double check, Adam pulled out his phone and read the time.
"...It's only eight!" [Adam]
"Yeah? What about it?" [Vamp]
"Let us sleep!" [Adam]
"Hey! When I was YOUR age, I slept at ten! Try manning up a bit before talking back!" [Vamp]
"Man up? Sure!" [Adam]
He reached behind his back and attempted to pry Vamp's fingers off of him, but they didn't seem to budge.
"What the hell?! Are your fingers made of titanium or something?!" [Adam]
"Haha! If you think that you could release yourself from these hands of mine, you're dead wrong!" [Vamp]
Vamp laughed boisterously, that is, until Vivian came over to shut him up.
"Quiet! You're going to wake Halia!" [Vivian]
She waved a clothing hanger at Vamp, which somehow made him go quiet.
"Uh… Sorry?" [Vamp]
"...I really sometimes wonder who's the adult in this house." [Krino]
("Not me or Vamp, that's for sure.") [Adam]
After taking a look at the three, Vivian withdrew the clothes hanger and backed off.
"That's enough fooling around for today. Vamp, just show them to their rooms. They've got school tomorrow." [Vivian]
"Wait, it's not spring break yet?" [Vamp]
"...No? It should be next week. This school has a different schedule from others, don't you remember?" [Vivian]
"Did it...?" [Vamp]
"Vamp… You literally signed Adam up for this school. How do you not…! ...Nevermind. Just… just get them to bed." [Vivian]
Not saying another word, Vamp took them to their rooms.
"Y'know, Adam… Your sister can get REALLY scary sometimes…" [Vamp]
"I know. I LIVE with her." [Adam]
"Haha! She's almost as scary as my secretary when I ditch work!" [Vamp]
"...Did you ditch work today?" [Adam]
Vamp looked at Adam with a straight face, but then began to laugh.
"Hahaha...! Haha… Hah… Uh… Crap." [Vamp]
