Cre-a-ak!

Vlad sighed loudly as the door opened.

He was exhausted. 

Never in his life had he entertained such a crowd. 

For one, a beautiful black-haired, short pinky of a corpse, who he would swear to be a goth. 

And the other, an almost comforting—seeming to be broken family, that accepted him regardless of his loneliness.

Even if he felt comfortable, everything had a limit. And for him, a person/demon who had to experience all of them in a day, it felt too tedious. 

So he moved his body onto the comfort of the sofa, perhaps thinking it would bring some type of comfort. 

But the bright outside sun thought different, as it refused him of any sleep. 

So he got up and made his way to the shower, perhaps to wash away the tediousness that he felt on his skin. 

Tediousness brought by what he deemed to be foreign. 

What he had only experienced from two. 

The first, she who had abandoned him. 

And the other, she who was commanded too.

The shower was brief, mostly because it only lasted for about an hour. 

Usually it would take more, but the slowness of time had prevented its drain. 

Vlad rarely felt like this. 

As an immortal, time truly wasn't felt.

It was fast, perhaps proving too quick.

So his annoyed feeling truly wasn't something he had experienced. 

He wasn't experienced in being what he was. 

But the memories he had gained provided him enough. 

Enough to know that the feeling was never absolute. 

That it was only a spark of nothing.

A fading spark of that which will one day never exist. 

So, wearing his clothes and admiring the now faded sun.

He moved to his coffin, one which proved too useful to sleep without. 

And entered its embrace. 

His eyes shut, perhaps hoping to attain sleep. 

Something those who stood at his rank would never attain. 

Something only obtained by him. 

Ringing!

He was disturbed, which proved too soon to be expected. 

"What?" He asked with an annoyed tone, after picking up his phone which was sleeping close to his laying figure. 

"Want me to pick you up?" A feminine voice spoke from the other end. 

It took a second until a 

"What?" spoke loud from his lips, "you… you would do that for me?"

She only laughed at his words.

"Don't be late when I get there." She replied, causing him to imitate the eyes of a bagger, or to him, his only attempt at what he thought were the eyes of puppies.

"Thank you". He whispered as she hung up. 

Only relief washed over his whole, as he thought about what people would say if they saw him come to school with a bicycle. 

Vlad was a man of class, one who took embarrassment too much to the heart.

And being called a leprechaun was already proving to be too much. 

So maybe that's why he slept peacefully. 

Maybe that's why his sleep came too quickly. 

Coming because Bella had saved him some face. 

Saved him too much. 

______

Honkkk!

Vlad was late. 

Which wasn't too much of a surprise.

So he awoke with swift. And immediately grabbed his bag. 

And his clothes, as if enchanted by flames, shifted from reality. 

As only faint lines of red smoke arose from where they lay. 

And immediately, as if by magic. 

They had changed themselves. 

Once a long short sleeved black shirt, now one which was imbued with hints of white. On its back, what looked to be two gloves making strange hand gestures come into view. 

But Vlad, too, in a hurry to care. Ran outside with 'to a human', would be considered full speed. 

"Forgive me, women", he faked being tired, "I couldn't even get some lunch, damn", he got into its doors, which to him seemed rather too dusty, but he didn't bring it up, considering that he was practically taking a free ride. 

How could the poor choose their food? 

"Onwards!" He commanded, his finger pointed front, and expressed holding one of an exaggerated smile. 

Bella laughed as she drove off. 

Moving to a destination. 

______

"Do I stink?" she suddenly asked, her wording seeming to be directed at Vlad, who had now widened his eyes in shock. 

"I mean?" He considered it, which caused Bella to sigh, as if his opinion had now grown useless. 

He laughed at her actions. 

"You don't stink", he replied. Leaning back on his seat, and raising his hands, placing them on his head. "If it makes you feel any better, I didn't bathe".

And Bella only shook her head in response, perhaps not believing his spoken words. 

_____

The driveway was full, which to Vlad seemed to be an amazing spectacle. 

Teens leaning against cars. 

Some, standing with beautiful women, taking their chances at getting popular, while others organised unconfirmed threesomes, it was fun—Having super hearing. 

All the secrets he was listening to. The smiles and change in expressions he was making.

To Bella, who was seated beside him, only made him seem slightly like a crazy person, only slightly. 

So the car parked at a reasonably convenient spot. 

And both Vlad and Bella exited its housing. 

Gazes were turned, and conversations were interrupted.

Vlad, slightly shocked by what had happened, smiled in response. 

But immediately regretted it, after hearing someone whisper "it's the leprechaun". 

"Fuck", he faintly uttered, "Fuck me".
