Dancing the worries away
Tumblr media
Description:
A carefree Rose Hathaway meets the struggling guardian Dimitri. She offers him a night of dancing and forgetting about his troubles for one night.
—————————————————————————————————
Dimitri’s P.O.V.
It was my night off and I had not planned on ending up at a shabby nightclub outside of the province. But I needed to be away from my duties for once. Which meant the Dhampir bar in town was not an option.
Since becoming Queen Tatiana’s guardian I have been going from meetings, to dinners, and fancy parties full of royal Moroi. It does not sound bad at first. However, as a Dhampir my whole purpose it to protect my charge quietly from the shadows. It has been an exhausting few months. So for one night, I wanted to get away from it all.
I took my bike and looked for a bar nearby, and the closest I could find was this club. I went inside, checking how many entrances and exits there were. It was a habit gained through years of learning perimeter control that was hard to shake. I got to the bar and ordered a glass of vodka. A pretty bartender brought me my drink and tried for slight flirting. I wasn’t in the mood nor was she my type. I gave her a polite smile and turned away from her as soon as she was called back to work. I looked across the dance floor watching people moving without a care in the world.
That’s when I saw her. A young woman with curly hair tied in a ponytail, a black silk dress hugging her curvy body. She was smiling while she danced in the ocean of people. Embracing the freedom she gained from moving to the beat. She was mesmerizing, such beauty in one creature. It hurt to look at her.
But it seemed weird to keep watching her. I turned back to my glass and took a sip. It was American, but it was decent. I would stay for maybe an hour, three drinks and then head back to the guardian quarters.
I heard footsteps behind me and suddenly the girl from the dance floor was beside me. She ordered a shot of tequila and waited until it arrived. She was quite short, but held herself with a confidence that the fact didn’t matter. Out of my peripheral vision I could see her look towards me for longer than it seemed appropriate.
“Never knew guardians enjoyed the company of humans.” I almost froze at her statement. I noticed an Australian accent in her voice that indicated she did not come from this province.
“Never knew the Academy allowed their students to go outside the wards for clubbing.”
“I’m not a student at an Academy anymore. I’m just passing through.”
“Where are you going?”
“Lisbon is my next destination.”
“Are you a Dhampir or Moroi?” I was curious. A Moroi traveling the world was normal, but for a Dhampir graduate it was unthinkable.
“Dhampir. Guardian Rose Hathaway.”
“Guardian Dimitri Belikov. How did you end up here?”
“I graduated from St. Jude’s two years ago and went with my assigned Moroi on his travels. He gives me days off a lot when he’s busy drinking or collecting his art.”
“Who is your charge?”
“Adrian Ivashkov. He is a drunk and flirt, but not in a perverted way which is a win in my books.”
“I’ve heard about his stellar reputation amongst the royals. You got lucky that he lets you do your own thing.”
“You are here alone too. You have your freedom, right?”
“It’s my first day off in four months. But I guess that’s what being the Queen’s guardian means.”
“You are one of Queen Tatiana’s new guardians?” I nodded in answer.
“Now I feel sorry for you.”
“Why?”
“Because she seems to think Dhampirs are lesser than her. I thought the Queen before her was bad, but she brings it to a whole new level.”
“Well, I don’t listen to her debates with other Moroi. I usually take far guard and am but a shadow blending into the wall.” She laughed at that. It was like the perfect melody I have been trying to find my entire life.
“That is probably the most accurate job description for a guardian I have ever heard.” I smiled at her.
She downed her drink without much of a flinch. Surprising, considering it was tequila.
“Swapping guardian stories is fun, but I don’t want to think about work tonight. So would you dance with me?” She asked the question while smiling innocently. It seemed more like a sign that she had mischief in mind.
I hesitated for five seconds, then I downed my drink. She took my hand and led me towards the back of the room. There were less people, but she didn’t put any space between us, rather the opposite. Rose put her hands on my shoulders, and slowly moved them down while her hips swayed to the beat.
I put my arms around her waist and moved with her. It was strange how fast we followed the other’s rhythm. She kept dragging her hands over my upper body and it was starting to drive me mad. I realized quickly that this would not end well.
Rose kept on pulling me closer to her and started grinding on me. Which was not helpful because my jeans had already started to tighten. I grabbed her hand, spun her around and pulled her back towards me. Just to get a slight distance between us. She was laughing and I genuinely smiled for the first time in a while.
However, the move did not work because Rose seemed to have other plans. She turned around once the first song blended into the second. Her back was pressed against my front which increased the friction against the front of my jeans. I was starting to contemplate dragging her outside and having my way with her.
The sensations became more intense and I could hear Rose’s little gasps. She was just as turned on as I was. I placed my hands on her hips and moved them against me. Her dress was starting to ride up and I felt lace beneath my fingertips. Rose had her right hand on the back of my head tugging on my hair while the other was placed over mine on her hip.
As the music started to fade, she turned to face me again. Her pupils were blown and her eyes looked almost black under the dim lighting. She seemed to have the same idea as I did before since she took my hand and led me off the dance floor. We both grabbed our jackets at the coat exchange and left through the back. It opened into an abandoned alley. Rose started walking backwards, then pulled me to her and brought our lips together.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
To be continued…
A/N: This my first time posting a one-shot, so please be kind towards my writing since English isn’t my first language. And also because this is my first story in while. This is loosely inspired by their dance scene episode 7 of season 1.
I will post Part 2 either in the tonight or tomorrow.

“Would you like some more coffee?” I asked in a sweet voice, shaking the jug I was carrying with me. I watched his face, looking for any hint that I had him enticed, but his expression was amused.
“I’m fine. Thanks.”
I groaned internally. Being brave, I slid into the booth opposite him, earning a raised eyebrow. “Like you said, it’s a slow night. You don’t mind the company do you?”
The corner of his lips twitched in a smile, “No, I don’t mind.” Unaffected by my presence, he started eating his food, using a knife and fork to cut it into smaller pieces. A soft sound of appreciation slipped through his lips after his first bite.
I should not enjoy watching this man eat as much as I did. I shifted in my seat, leaning back, “Are you new to the area?” I asked, unsure how to start the conversation.
“Not really.”
“Did you find this place by accident?” I tapped my nails on the table; my face started to hurt from the smile I wore.
His eyes gleamed at me, “A friend recommended it.”
I narrowed my eyes, “A friend?”
“What is it that you would like to know, Rose?”
My smile dropped, no longer seeing the need to fake it. I rested my elbow on the table. “You know, it’s not fair that you know my name, but I don’t know yours.”
“Dimitri.”
I was shocked at how easily he gave it. “Dimitri,” I repeated, noticing the way his lips twitched when I did. Maybe I did have some effect on him. “Okay, Dimitri, I want to know why you come here every night.”
He nodded his head, taking another bite of his French Toast. “Why does it matter so much to you?”
“Because I know that there is something different about you,” I admitted to him. Maybe honesty was the way to get my answers. “You’re dangerous.”
He studied me for a moment, “If I’m so dangerous, then why are you talking to me?”
“Because I haven’t figured out if you are dangerous to me or not.” 
The look in his eyes made me think Dimitri was dangerous to me, but not in the way I was first worried about.

“You know, we do need customers to keep the business afloat.” His facial expression remained serious, but there was a sparkle of amusement in his eyes.
“Hey, you’re the one who chooses the opening hours. I’m just enforcing your rules,” I smiled cheekily up at him.

Rose stopped struggling at the same moment as Spiridon did – but when Spiridon’s knees gave out under him, a low, terrified moan erupting from him, Rose and Vasilisa shared a satisfied, savage smile. It was a feint, realised Dimitri. Hathaway knew she’d never reach Spiridon.

OKAY. OKAY OKAY OKAY. FIRST THOUGHTS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. BEWARE SPOILERS!
Just some bullet points. Will get back to this tonight probably when my phone isn't dying. These points follow no distinct chronological order because that's for the neurotypicals and I haven't taken my meds today.
1- MEREDITH. YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT. MY WLW QUEEN.
2- in addition to that, Mia, oh my darling you broke my heart.
3- I know people wanted a book adaptation and some are disappointed that that isn't what this show is. It's based on teh books, but it's not a direct adaptation. And I get that this goes against what some people wanted, but I actually quite enjoy it. I think it makes it easier to enjoy the show for me. I'm not an adaptation purist to begin with but I'm just kinda experiencing this show as an AU of the books and in and of itself, that makes the story actually pretty good!
4- that was the lead in for this point, I love more self-actualized Rose! In the books we never dive as deeply into the fact just how deeply disturbing the premise of the word building is with the roles of Dhampirs and Moroi. Rose was supposed to be a rebel in the books even, questioning and standing up to authority, but this only ever happened within the confines of the society. I feel like her actions in the series are actually more true to the way her character was described in he books. If you are questioning authority, you would eventually come to the conclusion that you don't have a place in this society as is, and therefore need to leave.
5- Mason, you're adorable. You're so sweet.. I already feel bad for you because I get it, but also, see point 1.
6- Romitri my heart. I love this, because it shows their relationship is deeper than just romantic attraction. They communicate without words, they know each other on such a deeply intimate way, how the other thinks, feels. Just, so much props again for the actors here.
7- Rose wants to say goodbye, only if she told Dimitri he'd be even more culpable so instead she says 'see you 'round' and the little slip up of 'Roza' nearly made me keel over
8- Seeing his room gives her a whole new appreciation for how much she was asking him to give up from his worldview in the course of a day or two (my man has an ALTAR in his room ffs) immediately followed by a semi Realisation that he has in fact given up a lot of that for her. He chose her, after all. He didn't fight back. He's keeping mum about Sasha. Truly OTP goals.
9- Mason didn't just go to Dimitri and tell him about Rose and him from the good of his heart. He's a sweet guy, but he needed to prove to himself that he had 'won'. Rose chose him. Right. Right? And here's our comrade. The ever honorable Guardian Belikov, ready to face down his fate in the dungeons and who knows what after, because he chose to lie to protect Rose. He will never back down from that decision. But when this novice comes by, novice in more ways than one, looking for reassurance from Dimitri that he'd won this silent competition for this incredible woman, Dimitri can't help himself. I believe he meant it when he said he never wanted Rose to know what was happening to him. He knows that she would feel guilty or try to get him out by taking the blame, but he is genuinely of the opinion that he is the only one responsible for his situation. But telling Mason that, spelling out for him that if put to the test, Rose would always choose Dimitri? That was a little mean Comrade. That 'fuck you' was earned.
10- Doesn't mean it wasn't true though Mason. Which I'm afraid you're gonna find out the hard way.
11- Dimitri is already walking away, leaving Mason with his defeat when he gets the insult slung at his back and it makes him stop for half a second. I wonder what Kieron's face did as Dimitri in that moment. He's so good at acting out a character who doesn't speak much like Dimitri. I wonder if it was a grim smile of this final victory over the man running off with the love of his life or whether it was more a sigh of acquiescence, admitting to both himself and Mason that yeah, he's fucked. But he's okay with his choices here.
12- more thoughts to come! Sometime later today lol

Any Halloween costume ideas for your favourite characters and ships?
oh my god yes
so romitri obviously go as a cowboy and cowgirl right? like dimitri probably point blank refuses to go as anything else so rose has fun working out increasingly bizarre costumes to match him.
sevasey are completely unoriginal and go as firefighters. they think they're being ironic, everyone else thinks they're being lazy.
feysand probably do anything that allows feyre to have some fun with her paints, so probably like zombies, the undead, just basic halloween stuff but feyre makes it looks amazing. in a modern au i could see them doing something like gomez and morticia addams.
probs random but i could see burzek going as a pilot and a flight attendant, mostly because i feel like adam has been begging to see kim in her old flight attendant uniform for years. plus adam would love wearing a pilot's hat. otherwise i could see him getting a kick out of going as a cop since he never did the whole uniform thing on patrol.
bloom loves halloween and horror movies, and sky hates them so it's a tricky balance for them. probs go for a famous couple from a horror movie (i can't decide a perfect one for them) or else like feysand, anything bloom can have fun doing with paint.
tarlos are probably sickeningly cute/annoying and tk goes as a cop and carlos goes as a firefighter/emt.

Princess Rose is the embodiment of fire; a warrior whose loyalty knows no bounds while Prince Dimitri symbolizes ice; a chivalrous king whose nobility is well known. Two different forces of nature, two different personalities bound together in a marriage arranged for the benefit of their kingdoms. Will their union destroy or strengthen them enough to defeat their enemies?

I love the idea of an AU where the events at the end of Shadow Kiss (the cabin, Dimitri being turned) never happened, where Rose graduates and becomes Lissa’s guarding partner with Dimitri.
Obviously there’d be a ton of romantic tension between them while they tried to navigate doing their jobs with their feelings for each other constantly getting in the way.
And the jealousy when others would try to encourage one of them to date someone else…with them only realizing that they could never be happy without the other.

The yule ball is one of the court's most elegant, refined and exclusive parties. Only moroi and a selective group of guardians can attend, and feeders await in every corner for whoever is tempted.
Guardian Belikov silently observes the crowd of ladies wrapped in white silk dance, and his face twists, in what may seem disapproval. His gaze then turns to the guardians in black, covering all entrances and keeping drunk moroi from hurting themselves or someone else.
He sakes his head, then starts walking around the room, never too far from the walls. Moroi don't even seem to see him, but he doesn't seem to mind. He's a shadow in the middle of the lights and the music. Suddenly, he stops, his gaze focused on one of the girls.
The first thing he notices is that she's not moroi. That's obvious, not only because of hi body shape (Guardian Belikov is ashamed of himself for even noticing it) but because of the way he acts. Arms entwined with another lady (who is a moroi), the mysterious girl laughs so hard her head falls back, revealing a beautiful (and fangless) smile, the only thing he can see in her mask covered face. No moroi lady Invited to the yule ball would act with so little demure.
Just as he's about to approach her, she focuses on him, as if she could hear his thoughts. He doesn't move. For a second, he feels like he's the one being examined, a feeling not at all common. After minutes of examination, while he's frozen in his stand, she smiles again, whispers something into the blond girl's ear, and disappears in the chaos of dancing people.
Dimitri smiles under his mask. This ball thing promised to be tedious, but he had always enjoyed a good hunt.

My body felt hot and cold, the skin feeling almost too tight. The only respite was the soft sheets that covered me, it felt like butter as it slid over my skin. My sheets never felt like this, they were cheap and made from rough cotton. These sheets felt like silk.
Even the bed was more comfortable than anything I had laid on, reminding me of the bed Lissa owned or the one I slept on at Alberta’s. Unlike the academy, which had loose springs digging into my back, this one was plush and actually supported my weight rather than sagging.
My head was groggy, a fog separating me from my memories of why I was lying in an obviously expensive bed. 
I remembered being dragged from my bed, people forcing me into the bathroom to clean. I remembered the feeling of dread and rage.
My eyes snapped open.
I was forced into a mating ceremony.
The drug made the memories hazy, only bits and pieces clear. I remembered the ridiculous white dress they put on me. I remembered piercing brown eyes. And I remembered the pain.
I sucked in a sharp breath, sounding like a sob. The sudden movement pulled at the tender skin of my throat, pain spreading from it. 
This couldn’t be happening. 
I had considered what it would be like to be claimed in the future. What it would be like to find someone to be my mate and promise myself to them. I always imagined how it would feel falling in love with them, staring into their eyes as they would lean forward to claim me, as I would to them.
But that wasn’t what happened.
I was claimed, against my will, and now I was in a relationship with an Alpha I had never met. He had forced himself on me and I had no way of saying no. There go all of my hopes for my freedom, my entire life falling apart in just a matter of hours. 
Now I will be expected to be some submissive Omega eager to please my Alpha. 
I would rather die.
The sounds of a door handle turning pulled me from my thoughts. Though my body felt too exhausted to move, I pushed myself up in the bed, clutching the silk sheet close to me. I noticed with a scowl that I was dressed in just my underwear.
I watched through narrowed eyes as a tall muscular man appeared from the doorway. With his towering height, I was surprised he didn’t have to duck to fit. This guy was jacked, muscles on top of muscles, all barely concealed under a black t-shirt and jeans. His hair was long and unruly, the end grazing his shoulders; the deep brown colour reminded me of caramel when he stepped into the sunlight that poured into the room.
His eyes made my heart stop.
They were the same ones. Dark and intense as they stared at me. Just as they were when he claimed me.
This was my Alpha.
