The Mysterious Father
Ikemen Vampire Johann Faust x Reader
Warnings: Contains spoilers of Faust route. Fluff and comfort.
Today too you went to old Church in the evening. The inviting silence and dim candle lights always calmed your mind down after a long day at mansion. You loved the mansion's residents, as they always took care of you and were like a family to you by now. But you still missed the old days when you were in your timeline, working as a travel blogger. After all it was your favorite job, which you couldn't do anymore. When you were going to return to 21st century the door had broken for some reason and you were still stuck here. No matter how beautiful and good your life was here, you still missed your hometown and family. Church was the only place which gave you similar vibes to your hometown Church where you used to go as a kid with your parents.
Coming to the old Church had two reasons, one, it was quite in evening and no one disturbed you, two, the priest was a handsome man, Faust, to whom you had grown a crush for. Seeing you seated on one of the benches, Faust glanced at you from aisle. His gaze was sharp, a gaze which can see right through your soul and existence. Seeing that sad look on your face for the nth time, he approached you.
Faust: What's wrong kid? You seem quite upset today.
Y/n: Father... It's just that I miss my family and hometown a lot. I can't go there for now atleast.
Faust: That must be really sad.. But atleast you have something to miss for...
Y/n: What do you mean Father??
Faust: I'll tell you a story. There was a boy who lost his everything at a very young age. He also lost the only person whom he used to call family. What do you think he did after that??
Y/n: He lived on with the pain forever in his heart.
Faust: Exactly! That's just how life works. It's never fair with anyone. That's why we should live on and make the most of it while it lasts. Missing someone will only give you pain. If you think about it, then your parents won't like you being sad, so stop being sad for that reason, as they are always with you, because you yourself are a proof of their existence. Never forget that, child.
Hearing Faust's words brought a sense of relief and comfort over you. No one has ever told you anything like that. His words were harsh yet beautiful making you let go of all your emotions which you had bottled up since your arrival here. Your emotions flowed through your eyes in crystalline tears. All this time you couldn't bring yourself to cry or let loose in front of mansion's residents as it might have worried them a lot. But now here you are crying in front of the Priest, who you don't even know well still you feel quite attached to him.
As your tears continued to flow, Faust just stared at you astonished by the fact, that how can anyone be so delicate, fragile, weak nothing like himself. But deep inside he somewhere saw his own broken image in you, which had him be interested in you since very beginning.
As he saw you cry he couldn't help but got on his knees to get to your eye level and he gently wiped your tears with his handkerchiff. He himself wondered why he did that. It was so unlike him to care for a stranger, but here he was, caring for you and adoring you. Once you had calmed down, you looked at him in the eyes and smiled widely.
Y/n: Thankyou so much Father. I feel much lighter now. Thanks for guiding me.
Faust: Just call me Faust. Everyone calls me Father so that would be a good change. What's your name?
Y/n: Sure, F-Faust. My name is Y/n.
Faust: So Y/n, would you like to come with me for dinner now??
Y/n: Sure!! I would love to.
Saying this, Faust guided you out of Church and as you walked beside him, you noticed just how tall he was compared to you. You both walked in the moon night as he took you to a small cabin in a forest. You assumed it was his home or hide out spot for his other activities. Once you entered the cabin, you were instantly surrounded by a warm smell of firewood and books. It was an old cabin but it had a comforting warmth to it.
Faust told you to sit on couch till he cooked something to eat. You were genuinely surprised to know that he could cook, so instead of sitting idly you offered to help. While talking over somethings here and there Faust was slowly opening up to you, but he kept his deepest secrets hidden because he didn't want a stranger to know his true self. You indeed were interesting to him as you always fought your problems head on and hoped even though it was futile sometimes according to him, but he was still quite skeptical about his interest in you, as he dismissed the thought by thinking you will be a good guinea pig for his experiments later on.
You both cooked dinner and ate it. It was indeed delicious, for that matter, more delicious than what Sebestian made at the mansion. You carefreely ate the dinner giving compliments to Faust about how good it was. Faust looked at you with a frown and said,
Faust: Y/n...You know, you shouldn't eat something given by a stranger??
Y/n: But you are no stranger!! I see you every day at Church. Plus we have talked many times before and I know you wouldn't slip something in my food.
Faust: And how are you so sure about that??
Y/n: Because I just know it. You are a kind man Faust. I know you wouldn't do something like that.
Faust: How come I am kind??
Y/n: I have seen you give medicine to sick and poor.
Faust: Look, that's just because I had to test my new medicine, you know I am an alchemist!!
Y/n: Still, for me me it's a kind gesture. You even play with kids in your free time.
Faust: No I don't!! They just come to bother me anyway.
Y/n: Haa ha.... But you still entertain them.
Faust: You don't understand, do you??
Y/n: Ohh! One more reason why I come everyday to Church.
Faust: Yeah, and what it is??
Y/n: To see you, of course!! You are too handsome to resist!!
Faust: W-WHAT???
Y/n: Oh Father!! Have you never received any compliments?? It's true that you are very handsome, the first time I saw you I was stunned. You looked ethereal as if you didn't belong to this world!!
Faust: Hey kid, you know it's rude to flirt with the priest?!! Thanks for the compliments though.
Y/n: You talk as if you are way older than me!!
Faust: Of course I am!! I look young but I am quite older than you.
Y/n: I guess the I should call you grandpa!!
Saying this you started laughing. Faust's stunned expression was worth it. He playfully smacked you on head saying," Hey I am not grandpa!!". You both laughed at each other for a while before eventually calming down.
Faust: That was quite a great laugh I had in a while. Thankyou Y/n...
Y/n: Thanks to you too, Faust.. My mind is very much at ease now.
Faust: It's late, you can stay here if you want. Or I'll walk you back to your home.
Y/n: Thanks but just get me to a carriage. I'll go by myself after that. Don't wanna trouble you any longer Father..
Faust: Ok but it's late, so I'll drop you at your home and then take the same carriage back here. No arguments.
Y/n: Fine...
You and Faust walked till where you could find a carriage. After you both sat in the carriage, you told the driver your address and had a nice chat with Faust. Once you got down at front of the mansion, you waved to him and entered inside the mansion only to be greeted by worried Sebastian and other residents. To whom you lied and said that the Church prayers lasted a bit longer so your friend dropped you off. Everyone calmed down after seeing that you were safe. You returned to your bedroom feeling high, on the thought of Faust and the time you both spent together. You wished to meet him soon again tomorrow. He was such an interesting and mysterious person, it left you yearning for more.
Faust pov
She lives here?? Mansion of Le Comte?? Ohh so this is the girl that Lord Vlad had told us about. The infamous time traveller. But she is indeed different and too carefree for her own good. Hehehe... She's interesting. Indeed she will be a good guinea pig for my experiments. Hope to meet you soon, Y/n...
