60 Words - Alucard/Flow

1. Love
Alucard was not keen to human emotions. Feelings such as love were a mystery to him. He knew, however, that whatever it was he felt toward Flow could only be described as love.

2. Hate
"I hate you." Flow said darkly, a violent glare on his slightly-freckled face. "It's a toaster, love." Alucard spoke up from his chair at the kitchen table, "It can't hear you, nor can it comprehend that it has burnt your toast."
"I know, but I still hate it."

3. Rain
If there was one thing Alucard couldn't stand, it was the wet dog smell that emanated from Flow when he came bouncing into the house after playing in the rain.

4. Fear
Alucard was not a fearful being. It took a lot to get a reaction from him. His most recent brush with fear occurred when he watched a brown haired boy fall to the ground, screaming in agony as blood seeped from a wound made by a silver bullet.

5. Empty
When they had first met, the young werewolf's eyes had been so empty. It was only after Alucard transformed him into the werewolf/vampire hybrid he now was and renamed him 'Flow' that he brightened significantly.

6. Fall
Flow really hated how cats could land on all fours after a fall.

7. Open
It was difficult to get Alucard to open up about things, but Flow found that if you stole one of his books, hid it and threatened to tear it apart later, he'd tell you anything you wanted to know.

8. Hope
His life had been bleak, empty and hopeless. Then he met Alucard, nearly died and was saved by the old vampire. Then, suddenly, Flow's "life" had meaning again.

9. Death
Flow had come close to death many times, but the mere thought of it still terrified him.

10. Close
Alucard didn't like being close to anyone, emotionally or physically, but had to make an exception for the lovable werewolf.

11. Climb
"Climb it? Climb it?! I don't need to freaking climb it! I can jump it!" Flow shouted triumphantly, shifting into his wolf form and getting ready to jump the large wall which, Alucard knew, had a small river beyond it. Alucard smirked, "I'm going to enjoy this."

12. Fire
Alucard loved to watch the fire burn in his fireplace in the large living room. It was even better when Flow came and curled up at his feet in front of it.

13. Pain
For the most part, Flow had only known pain in his life before Alucard.

14. Pleasure
One of Flow's greatest pleasures was when Alucard would scratch him just behind the ears in his wolf form.

15. Smile
Alucard often kept the same blank expression, so Flow took it upon himself to smile enough for the both of them.

16. Cry
The few times when Flow did cry, usually from the horrible emotional pain old memories brought on, the violent sobs would rack his entire body and Alucard would hold him close, the noise making his lifeless heart hurt.

17. Toy
Flow liked variety, so it came as no surprise to Alucard when he found a small stash of adult toys hidden in the closet.

18. Happy
"For what reason are you so damn happy all of the time?" Alucard asked out of the blue one day as they were walking to the library. Flow turned to him and smiled, "There's a lot to be happy about. I'm existing, I have you, it's a nice day, and plenty of other things."
A ghost of a grin made it's way to Alucard's face, "I suppose that's logical."

19. Scar
The long scar across Flow's back only served to remind Alucard of the horrible state he'd found the boy in.

20. Angel
Alucard sometimes thought that, if he had not taken Flow's soul when he changed him, the boy would have eventually become an angel.

21. Song
Alucard wasn't big on music, but his favorite song was the one Flow would hum while in the shower.

22. Chain
The horrible memories of his life were chained to his mind and no matter how hard he tried, Flow would never find the key.

23. Dance
"Do you have two left feet or something?" Alucard asked grumpily as he tried, for the fourth time, to teach Flow how to dance. Flow pouted, "You seem to forget that I spent the first nineteen years of my life in the street just trying to survive. Dancing is not a skill required to survive!"

24. Night
Alucard's hair was black as the night and he always kept it short, neat and clean.

25. Day
Flow always liked the day. Before meeting Alucard, day had meant that he'd managed to survive another night.

26. Fool
Though some might think Flow a fool, Alucard knew he was probably one of the smartest people alive, even if those smarts weren't learned from any book.

27. Whisper
Flow liked to be loud, but in the darkness of the bedroom, his voice would fall to a whisper as he told his lover just how much he liked what he was doing down there.

28. Shout
Whether he was shouting, whispering, yelling in anger or laughing with joy, Alucard loved the sound of Flow's voice.

29. Paralyzed
Alucard had become paralyzed when he watched the wolf boy fall, changing for the first time Alucard had seen to his human form and screaming in agony as the silver bullet that had ripped though his body burned him from the inside. Alucard forced his fear away and fell to his knees next to the writhing boy, gently lifting his upper body and turning his head before saving him the only way he knew how; biting into his neck.

30. Break
There were some places in his mind where Flow was still broken, but Alucard was doing a pretty good job of fixing him.

31. Stuck
"Alucard?! Alucard! Help me! I'm stuck!" Flow shouted as he banged on the door. Alucard walked into the hallway and stopped at a closed door, expression slightly annoyed, "What are you doing?"
"I accidentally locked myself in the bathroom! Get me out!"
Alucard sighed, "Have you tried turning that small knob on the door handle?"
There was a pause in which a small 'click' was heard, then the door opened. Flow stepped out, face bright red, "Never breathe a word of this to anyone."

32. Habit
Flow had a habit of burying things in the yard. This greatly annoyed Alucard as it left many unsightly holes that would need to be filled and re-landscaped.

33. Listen
Flow had always been a good listener. For most of his life he did not speak, only listened. It took about a year after being changed before he began to talk regularly, eventually talking almost all the time, as if to make up for all the years of silence, and Alucard always listened.

34. Numb
As he felt himself going numb and his vision flickered, Alucard barely saw the large, brown wolf drag up a near-dead man and lay it in his lap. He found it odd that a werewolf, a vampire's greatest enemy, was trying to save his life.

35. Shadow
The werewolf that had saved him followed him in the shadows for many weeks. Alucard was not afraid, however, as he could tell that all the beast wanted was a little company.

36. Wake
Moments after waking up, a man probably in his late twenty's with dark black hair leaned over him. "Do you have a name?" He asked. The young werewolf shook his head. He had never been given a name. The vampire, as he knew the man was by his scent and the fact that he'd been following him, tilted his head, "You're a wolf, so I'll call you Flow."

37. Blood
The sight of blood never bothered Alucard, hell he drank it to survive. The sight of Flow's blood, however, often sent him into a mild panic.

38. Valentine
Instead of candy for that special day, Alucard and Flow would trade fresh human hearts.

39. Pieces
Flow was like broken glass and Alucard was slowly putting the pieces back together again.

40. Lullaby
Though Alucard had no real need for sleep, Flow sometimes did, so Alucard would sing him a lullaby, the same one his mother had sung to him as a child so many years ago, until the young man would fall asleep.

41. Crush
In the beginning, Flow had hated himself for having a crush on a man over 300 years older than himself. When this fact slipped past his lips on accident one day, Flow was elated when Alucard suddenly yanked him forward into a bruising and claiming kiss.

42. Curse
Flow did not consider himself cursed. Getting to spend an eternity with the only person who had ever mattered to him could not possibly be a curse.

43. Moon
Nothing actually compelled him to howl at the full moon, Flow just did because he knew it got on Alucard's nerves.

44. Sun
"Why don't you ever go out in the sunlight?" Flow asked one day, voice a near whisper as he leaned closer to Alucard over the arm of his cushioned chair by the fire place. Alucard put his book down and gave him an odd look, "Because I'm a vampire."
"Is it because you sparkle?"
"What? That's absurd. I burn, not sparkle."
"Okay. Just making sure." Flow said with a smile before getting on the floor and crawling away on all fours. Alucard watched him go with an odd expression, "I really should start paying attention to whatever it is he's been watching."

45. Belong
As a werewolf he had not belonged anywhere. He'd wandered the streets, just trying to survive from day to day. As a werewolf/vampire hybrid, possibly the only one in existence, Flow knew he belonged right by Alucard's side.

46. Friend
"You're the first friend I've ever had." Flow said one day when they were in the study. Alucard looked up from his book, a thoughtful expression on his face. Flow continued, "You're also my first lover and the first person to ever really care about me."
Alucard sat his book by his side and patted his lap. Flow smiled and sat down, happily leaning against the vampire. Alucard wrapped his arms around the small but muscled body and ran a hand through shoulder length, wavy brown hair, "You're my whole world."

47. Frozen
More than a hundred years had passed since they were united. Neither had changed, both frozen in time, and Flow was loving every second of it.

48. Heat
Flow was more werewolf than vampire, so it really shouldn't have surprised Alucard as much as it did how much heat the boy created.

49. Lies
Alucard knew very well that Flow had a terrible temper and that it didn't take much to set the boy off, which is why he wasn't very surprised when one morning, while reading the paper, he casually announced which football team had won and Flow angrily jumped from his seat and screamed, "LIES!!"

50. Truth
Alucard was a deceitful man. He had to be to keep from being discovered as a vampire. He found that lying came easy to him and the truth was something that could be twisted to fit his needs. He also found that Flow was the one person he could never deceive.

51. Water
Flow greatly enjoyed playing in the water. Alucard hated water unless it was coming out of a faucet. In order to keep both himself and his love happy, Alucard finally relented and bought a pool.

52. Fly
"Can you change into a bat and fly?" Flow asked curiously after watching a recent vampire horror movie. Alucard let out a snort, "Not without the use of my magic, which takes a lot out of me and is therefore not worth it."
"Could you make me fly?"
"Definitely not worth it."

53. Coffin
Flow didn't like it when Alucard would sometimes lay in his coffin. Laying there, pale and unmoving, gave the illusion of death and Flow's mental state wasn't stable enough to handle the sight for long.

54. Cheat
Flow watched the vampire on the black and white TV lure a young woman into his home. "Alucard? Did you ever do that with a woman?"
"Once or twice within the first hundred years, but it wasn't really my forte."
"Would you do it now?"
"Of course not. I love you and that would be much too similar to cheating."
"Good. Because I'd have to hurt you."
"Yes love, I know."

55. Laugh
Before Flow opened up and began talking, the only sound that Alucard could ever pull from his throat was a laugh. It quickly became Alucard's favorite sound.

56. Bed
Their bed was large and comfortable. Flow hated being in it by himself because it felt empty, but with Alucard laying beside him it was the only place he really wanted to be.

57. Comfort
There were moments when Flow's skin would feel as though bugs were crawling beneath it and he would claw and scratch until he bled. He never knew what caused the sensation, but when his mate would embrace him and whisper comforting words, the tingling would stop and Flow could relax.

58. Past
Alucard's past had been nothing special. He'd been an average man who just happened to have been bitten by a vampire. Flow's past was much rougher. Though he never opened up about it, Alucard knew from the times when his love would wake up screaming from another nightmare that it must have been terrible.

59. Present
Flow wasn't much for dwelling on the past; it often brought too much pain. Nor did he like to worry about the future; the uncertainty made him stressful. He preffered to focus on the present and the task at hand; like relaxing his muscles as he was slowly penetrated.

60. Future
Alucard didn't like to wonder about the future. The only thing he had to do was make sure he and Flow would be together to enjoy it and the rest would fall into place.
