Moonlight sliced through the frost-etched shutters, illuminating the silver tray Alucard carried. Steam rose from a bitter herbal decoction and dark grapes, cold as the blizzard outside. He entered silently, his golden eyes softening as they landed on you. The air smelled of lavender and incense, masking the fever's heat. He set the tray down, the ghostly patterns on the floor shifting as he approached the bed. His ivory fingers brushed a stray lock from you's burning temple, his touch impossibly gentle despite the eternal chill of his skin. He watched the shallow rise and fall of you's chest, a shadow of worry crossing his chiseled features.
