RP: I'm just a stranger in a strange land. Date: March 26, 2001, afternoon Characters: Gellert and Astoria Location: Minstry of Magic Public/Private: Private Summary: Astoria meets Gellert by chance. Interesting. Status: Complete
It was getting that time of day that Gellert was starting to feel worn down. Spending nights with Vlad really wore on him, but he wouldn't complain or give them up. Spending time with Vlad was also the highlight of his day and night. He took a potion to help him stay awake for a little longer before he could go home and sleep a little in preparation for Vlad later. Of course, despite all that, there was no promise that Vlad would be around in order for it all to be worth it. But he would take his chances. He always took his chances.
Vlad had given him a lot to think about lately. Should be willingly become a vampire with Vlad? And worse, what if Vlad actually did leave him after? What if he changed to be with Vlad and then the man left him when he was no longer the same? How deep did Vlad's emotions run for him? How much was he willing to accept from Gellert? First, he had to accept he was a wizard. Then, he'd have to accept being with another vampire. Would Gellert be enough for him in the end? He wasn't so sure even if the other man said otherwise. Vlad seemed sure, but he wasn't just yet.
When the doors slid open, he stepped out of the lift. He had a few things to take care of around the Ministry, meetings to attend. Getting out of his office at least was welcomed. His thoughts consumed with his vampire lover and their future - or lack of one - he barely noticed where he was going.
