He'd had the cabin to himself, but he knew when the train pulled into the next stop that he'd most likely have company. Sure enough half an hour later as the train began to wind it's way through the Transylvanian mountains, his door opened and in walked company.

"Not half bad looking." Duo thought as he took in the sight of the young man before him. He was tall, taller then Duo and lean. He had long white hair and an air to him that made him seem much older then he appeared. "Heh. Count Dracula lives!" Duo thought not unkindly as he took in the sight of the beautiful stranger before him.

"Dobro Vece." came the smooth voice of the stranger. "Ja se zovem Alucard. A vi?" he said to the bewildered Duo.

Duo quickly grabbed his phrase book and looked for what the stranger had said to him. Finding what he hoped was the stranger's language he replied, "Govorite li engleski?" praying that the stranger did indeed speak english.

"Of course, I said 'Good Evening, my name is Alucard and yours is?'" Alucard spoke to Duo in a rich Romanian accent.

"Whew! Cool Al, my name is Duo Maxwell. Pleased to meet ya!"

"You are an american I gather, correct?" Alucard asked the younger man, taking in the sight of the long chestnut hair that was currently being held in a loose ponytail, and the large violet eyes that shone with a fire that Alucard found intriguing.

"Yep. Good ol' US of A. Colony born and dragged up though." Duo replied.

"Dragged up?" Alucard asked, rather taken aback by the statement.

"I'm an orphan, I grew up on the streets and all that jazz." Duo replied.

Alucard was fascinated by the young man's honesty. He could almost smell it pouring from the young man's lithe body. Alucard chastitised himself for letting his mind wander to more carnal pleasures. It had been centuries since he'd last indulged in them and the odds of the young man dressed in the clothes of the church, willing to satisfy them were nil at best.

Alucard choose to keep an eye on the young one, figuring that any hint of who he was and what he was would most likely result in a confrontation that the ancient one would rather avoid. He couldn't help it, but Duo Maxwell intrigued him greatly, and the vampire wanted to get to know him better. There was something about his blunt honesty and natural good cheer that Alucard found calming.

Duo got up to help Alucard get his belongings situated, as he did so, the doujinshi that he'd been reading earlier fell to the floor. "Anata hanasu ihongo mata, Duo?" Alucard asked as he spied the book on the floor.

"Hai! Anata mo?" Duo asked, astounded by his new roommate's linguistic talents.

"Indeed. I find it a fascinating culture, as do you I presume?" Alucard smiled, he recognized the book for what it was. The kanji on the cover plainly stated, that Alucard might just get to entertain the fantasies that had blossomed in his mind, when he first saw the beautiful youth he was to share the rest of the trip with. Duo and Alucard spent the rest of the night talking to and learning a little more about each other. Before long the first hints of morning appeared through the window and they both got ready to sleep.

"Uh I don't know about you Al, but I'm more of a night person. Daylight and me aren't the best of buds. Lacu noc? Did I get that right?" Duo asked.

"Yes, you got 'Good Night' right, though judging by the light outside it's more appropriately 'Dobro Jutro' or 'Good morning'." Alucard stated with a slight smile. Duo just offered him a loopy grin and then yawned and curled under the covers of his bunk, he was asleep in mere moments. Alucard smiled slightly and turned in as well, pulling down the shade and effectively returning the room to night. The pair slept all day without waking once.

Evening rolled around and Duo woke to find Alucard just finishing getting dressed. "I'm off to get some dinner, care to join me?" He asked the still half asleep god of death.

"Sure, just give me a sec to get cleaned up." Duo replied with a yawn. 'A sec' turned into half an hour as Alucard patiently waited for Duo to shower and get dressed. He noted that the youth wasn't the least bit modest and he enjoyed the glimpses he caught of the boy's sleek body. Dressed and ready, the pair headed towards the dining car to share a light dinner. Light for Alucard, a little heavier for Duo who sampled almost everything there was to offer. After purchasing a bottle of a dark wine, the pair returned to their room to share it.

After a while, Duo was beginning to feel the effects of the fine vintage and let what little inhibitions he had, slip. Alucard knew from the previous night's conversation that Duo only wore the clothes of the cleric, he didn't preach or believe in their ways. He'd also learned another little fact about the young man that had given him the most delicious dreams while he'd slept. A quick mental argument with himself and Alucard decided that he would indeed like to seduce the boy lounging before him.

Picking up one of Duo's dj's he thumbed through it while making light conversation. "Anata konomu yaoi?" he asked, knowing the response he'd get.

"Mmm, hai. Watashi ai wa! Anata des?" Duo looked over at the white hair man across from him with expectation in his lavender lust filled eyes. Alucard merely placed the dj back on the small table and leaned over Duo, taking the sweet lips before him and gently plundering the riches of Duo's willingly offered mouth. With an ease that was more instinct then anything else, Alucard divested Duo of his clothes and began to nibble at the sleek skin. The blood pounding through his veins heightened the vampire's own arousal as he felt the blood lust begin to scream in him. Duo moaned in ecstasy at Alucard's skillful ministrations. He winced at he felt a sharp nip over his heart, then purred as Alucard licked the small amount of blood that spilled from the wound, off of his sweat dampened chest.

The sharp coppery tang of Duo's blood was ambrosia to Alucard, and he quickly removed his own clothes and slid into the narrow bunk next to Duo. With a slight motion, Duo had Alucard pinned under him as he began his own assault on the pale body beneath him. Alucard marveled at the boy's skill then all thought left entirely as Duo began to slowly take his erection into his warm damp mouth. Duo expertly worked the hard flesh of his lover, tracing the veins with his tongue and moaning in ecstasy knowing that the vibrations would only add to Alucard's pleasure.

Alucard could feel the pleasure building and did nothing to stop the sweet torture he was enduring. It didn't take Duo long to bring the vampire to an earth shattering climax. Alucard screamed his pleasure as he flooded Duo's mouth with his release. Reaching up to Alucard's mouth, Duo devoured the sweet mouth. The combined tastes of Alucard's release and Duo's blood aroused them both. It was then that Duo's tongue traced over the sharp fangs that he realized his lover for what he was.

"A vampire?" He asked, more intrigued then frightened.

"Yes. Though don't be afraid, I have no plans to end your life just to satisfy my hunger beautiful one." Alucard reassured Duo, pushing a lock of chestnut hair behind one of Duo's ears. "The small taste I had of you earlier was more then sufficient to curb my 'appetites' if you will?" Duo had to laugh at that. He had wandered in the back of his mind why Alucard had enjoyed lapping up the blood on his chest so much, now he knew.

"Well it is kinda hard to kill the God of Death, I should know, many have tried." Duo joked. Alucard smiled and pulled Duo down for a lingering kiss. The rest of the night was spent in heated love making.

The following morning Duo awoke to an empty room. He found a small note on the table and read it.

'My darling Duo, I thank you for your company and your pleasures. Forgive this rather cliché send off but I am rather poor at farewells. I hope to meet you again one day, and perhaps enjoy your company again.
Sincerely Alucard.
p.s. OZ is indeed using this route as a supply line. The sergeant was most informative while I 'entertained' him for breakfast earlier.'

Duo howled in laughter at the innuendo and replaced the note on the dresser.

Getting up. he fingered the tiny twin puncture marks over his heart. "Yeah, we'll meet again. I need to return the favor." Duo thought wryly as he set about his mission to discover exactly what OZ was transporting and to put an end to it.

fini.

I know it lacks severely in the lemon department but I fought for weeks to get it to look right. I gave up and went with the original fic inspired from a dream. I also couldn't find me romanian dic, so I substituted slovak instead which is very similar.
