"Finally I can leave this hell hole!" Levi exclaimed. This made the nurse jump even he swung out of bed as if they didn't just screw two ribs back together. He seemed fit as a fiddle. Vesper on the other hand had seen Levi ruggedly dragging himself in from long nights when he would have been on multiple calls the naiborhood was full of crime considering this was a large city. He could mask pain or exhaustion well. Vesper hopped up and walked with Levi out the doors as he was fixing his fresh clothes. Vesper had brought for him a blue button up and his black slacks and he wore his normal dress shoes. Levi didn't bother buttoning up all the way his stitches already hurt painfully from the smooth fabric snagging on his skin. He huffed as he leaned against the cool elevator wall they decended but were stopped at the next floor down as someone entered. Vesper stepped close to Levi. They decended to floor four from there. Three others got on with a newborn. Levi had restiffened himself, Vesper noted the change in posture as the got to floor three another older lady was let on Levi had moved to the corner his back against the wall. Floor two another three business men each on there phones squished in Vesper was smushed and slightly claustrophobic. Suddenly as they reached floor one vespers hand was grabbed and she was pulled into the corner causing people to be shoved rudely but no one said a peep because when Levi suddenly slumped against her on her shoulder it looked like he was he guard dog he had a nasty expression to give everyone for crowding him and smushing his friend. Once the doors opened everyone got off exept, Levi and Vesper who's destination was underground floor G for the ground parking gurage . Vesper had parked there since she had no idea how long this would take. They exited and headed to Levi's car and to vespers surprise he got in the passenger seat rather then driving. He must not feel well. She thought to herself as she went around to drive them home.
It had been mostly quiet until Levi broke the silence. "Thank you for bringing my medicine and the coffee it was awesome of you." He said this and looked away out the window.
"It's nothing you were willing to do all that and more to get me to a hospital I should be thanking you. I am more grateful that your okay now. "
" Vesper don't beat around the bush with me I know you seen my room to get this bottle of pills and I hope you understand I am not mad. " He said this with caution rather then sincerity for the first time he seemed nervous about something.
"If your worried about your bizarre wall of weapons don't be it's your business I didn't snoop either I only took what you needed. and left. " He sighed was it relief or anger?
"Levi. we've been living together nearly a year now and not once have you ever brought anyone in your room nor has anything other then that pill bottle left it. I trust you you are my best friend It's my job as your friend to protect your secrets not spill them on my live stream or go snooping In your business. I get enough publicity from your good looks I don't need more." She finished her statement trying to be reassuring when it dawned on her she had never admitted out loud until now he was good looking. The car was quiet. She couldn't help herself at the next light she stole a glance at Levi not apologizing for the truth only for him to be staring at her redder then a tomato. "Levi , I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable...."
She started in but was cut off. "Not another word please. " It was silent again. Levi was baffled and blushing embarrassed and flustered. She thought he was good looking and her streamers did too. Levi wasn't aware of this he had always figured he wasn't her type or looked filthy or to uptight or something how did this happen he thought long and hard when he looked up they were home. he fumbled with the handle getting out of the car he limped the pressure on his left leg to much still as pain shot up his back.
"Levi let me help you inside. " Vesper said as she slid under his left arm being a crutch. He only looked away more embarrassed now that a girl he knew liked him and was helping his pathetic ass. It won't last, he thought. She's gonna leave him could shouldered in the end besides its just her saying he was good looking not that she liked him or anything they were friends. He was flustered beyond reason right now as they made it to the livingroom he moved off vespers shoulder and leaned back in the couch. He sighed relieved as Vesper brought him a blanket.
"Just rest Levi your gonna need it to heal just shout if you need me ill give you some space I'll be in my room." She scurried off as Levi finally could relax he found himself drowsy and soon fell asleep on the couch.
Vesper entered her room and leaned against the door hoping she hadn't messed up just now he was short tempered in the car maybe he got angry about the situation and with the nurse flirting not to long ago maybe it was to much.
"Or maybe it wasn't." The sudden voice similar to her own startled her she nearly screamed as she grabbed a pair of scissors ready to strike whomever broke into her room. "Who's there!" she exclaimed swinging the scissors towered her window. "Just someone who wants to help dear however it's you I'm more intrigued with then that little flirt downstairs. How can you waste all this untapped potential lovely ? "
Vesper was now frightened. This person knew Levi was downstairs and her bedroom light began to flicker.
" What do you want take it just leave Levi alone he is hurt bad enough. " .
" I want you dear, not him. If your willing to just hand yourself over than that makes things much easier. "
Vesper noticed black oozing from the mirror and the window. as she looked around in a circle the lights went out and as the turned back on a strange horrifying Demonic beast stood in front of her grasping her throat and silencing her scream with a single claw leaving the black stuff on her lips.
"Now, now, little angel you and I are going to be together for a very long time. I am Lust and my name is Remus you will now be my host if I like you I won't kill you for a new one do you agree? "
Vesper had no choice but to nod yes she couldn't breath in this position.
"Very good." As soon as Vesper nodded the demon began to mist away against her body as if shedding the form it was in and entering her body it felt very violating.
She gasped once the beast was gone and was left on the floor on her knees gasping for air as she slowly stood shaking slightly as she did.
"That was horrifying." She said the black stuff on her lips tasted like ink the rest that had oozed down her window and mirror had vanished as she looked in the mirror now she was startled she had a kinda alluring glow to herself she hadn't noticed before and she seemed to have a more defined figure other then that everything was fine. She took a deep breath and went to go soak in the tub this was to much maybe she was hallucinating from hitting her head.
She stepped in and sank low into the lavender and camomile bath inhaling deeply and relaxing her mind body and spirit.
Levi woke up to the rushing water of the tub being filled as he sat up he looked around the livingroom. Vesper must be taking a bath. That sounds nice a bath. He thought mildly loopy from the drugs still as he stood stumbling over to the stairwell on shaking feet. He made it up to his room shoving his door open leaving it open as he stumbled to his bathroom turning on the shower he stumbled in and slumped against the wall the hot water against his skin a relief as he simply sat there inhaling the steam until he once again lost consciousness.
