Scars (Matt).
*Takes place after the most current plot*

Matt had spent a lot of time at Shelly's place, but she'd never been to his.  She knew where it was but it always just seemed easier for Matt to pop by her place with their mutual weird hours.  Matt also had an uncanny ability to 'just be in the neighborhood' with cheeseburgers from Mac's.  It was nice and made her feel really comfortable.  There hadn't been too many solo nights, but Shelly'd gotten to where she felt good about being alone again.   Dracula's creepy card had set her off, but things had evened backout.

Until the shenanigans with Greg.  That had not only been infuriating because Greg was a friend, but it had also rattled Shelly.  Dracula was screwing with all her friends, it seemed and the more she thought about it, the more the fading scars on her throat seemed to hurt.  Shelly couldn't sleep for the ache, for thinking about it, for getting pissed off and also for being scared.  After restlessly trying to sleep for a few hours she finally gave up, got dressed, and headed down to Matt's.

The irony that she was going to Dracula's son at two in the morning for solace didn't escape her.

She curled her hands around the mug and let the warmth of it work its way through her body before taking a sip.

"Just my neck. Sometimes it feels like my veins are burning, but it's all related to that bite. The burning feels just like it did when he bit me. And it's pissing me off."

She looked up at him and caught his hand with hers.

"Hey. Don't do anything crazy, okay? I came here not because I wanted you to fix me but because just being around you makes me feel better."

Matt smiled, the first one he's really given all evening to anyone.

"I like being around you, too. I just wish Dracula wasn't the elephant in the room with us." he says.

"You're still upset about biting me when we were making out, aren't you"

"That's really only a small part of what I'm talking about, Shelly." Matt says.

"Ian knew that Dracula was my father the whole time and he didn't tell me. We were 'discussing' that when you showed up. I think we're both glad you came when you did, because I was pretty angry." Matt says.

"I guess I just don't know who I am anymore. I was sure before this came up, now I'm not." he says.

"Hey." Shelly sat the tea down and placed her hands on his face, one on each cheek, and gently turned his head so as to look her in the eye.

"You're Matt Walker. You are the same man you were before your dna was sourced. Something you find out today doesn't change yesterday and you certainly don't give it tomorrow. It doesn't matter that Dracula is your father. And he's not your 'father'. He's just a part of the biology."

Letting go of his face, she sighed a little.

"Ian had reasons not to tell you and if this is the sort of hurt the knowledge resulted in...I'm inclined to think he did the right thing. He protected you from guilt and sorrow that isn't yours to carry."

"This is my life we're talking about, Shelly. I decide what I deal with and what I don't. Ian took that choice away from me and it pisses me off." Matt sighs.

"If I had known that Dracula was my father, I could have prevented this from happening, acted faster." he says.

"As it is, he's tried to kill me /twice/, with no thought to it. I guess I can assume there won't be any father-son picnics in the future." he chuckles.

"I don't think knowledge would have done anything to prevent the things that have happened. Honestly? I think you knowing would have probably resulted in you not being the Matt I know."

Shelly paused for a moment.

"What if he's not trying to kill you, exactly?"

"Well, he's not trying to keep me alive, Shelly. Twice now, he's turned Greg on us and vanished, and he hasn't made any attempt to spare me." Matt says.

"I can't think of what else he'd be trying to do."

"What if he's trying to find a way to get you weak--through grave injury--and turn you?"

"He's crazy if he thinks he'll get that close. I'd die before I let him turn me and I'd take him with me." Matt says.

"I know that, you know that, but he's a crazy motherfucker. Matt, he's arrogant. He thinks he's unstoppable. This could be his plan or at least his desire. We have to consider that as a possible angle."

Shelly sighed and leaned back on the couch.

"Crazy or not, this is what we're dealing with. He's up to something. It's that simple."

She rubbed her neck.

"Look, I've had enough Dracula talk for tonight. Can we talk about something else?" he asks.

"It was a bad idea, me coming over here tonight." At least in timing. Matt was already irritated, then she'd shown up, and the unpleasant conversation had continued. Next time, she'd remember to call first.

"You said you were going to try something with my neck. Still considering that?"

"No, it was not a bad idea. I just had a discussion with Ian like I said and it didn't go so well." he says.

"Yes. I need you to relax and let me work." he says.

Settling a bit into her seat, she attempted relaxation.

"Okay. God, I hate feeling even slightly helpless." Shelly closed her eyes.

Matt takes her hand and begins to massage it.

"Yeah, I know. You don't do 'sit back and relax' very well." he chuckles.

"But you're very cute when you're all worked up."

"I bet you say that to all the girls," she mused with a smile, then sighed as he started with the hand massage.

"If you keep doing that, I might be able to figure out this relaxation thing. It's really nice."

"Yeah, I do. How am I doing?" he asks jokingly.

"Well, you should learn to relax. Otherwise, you'll get all crazy and do stuff like hex blast me across a room or something." he says.

"You probably really should have thought about that consequence before you taught me how to hex blast properly, Matt."

She shifted positions a little

"I've never been very good at relaxing. After my mother died my life felt like it went into a constant state of stress. I...think that's why being bitten bothers me so much. It reminds me of losing my mother."

"Was she attacked by a vampire?" Matt asks.

"Suddenly, Jericho's dislike of me takes on a whole new dimension." Matt says, letting go of her hand. He pulls her feet into his lap and begins unlacing her shoes.

"No, he dislikes you because you're not Patrick. You could be anyone. The fang connection is just his justification." Shelly lay back and sighed a bit happily as he took off her shoes. "I feel like I failed her, Matt."

"You didn't, so stop thinking that." Matt says.

"This Patrick guy...the same Patrick from the hospital, right? I'm supposed to compete with that?" Matt asks.

"Same Patrick from the hospital and no, as far as I'm concerned there is no competing. If I wanted to be with Patrick, I'd be with Patrick. Just because my dad likes him doesn't mean he's who I pick. Matt, I wouldn't mind dating you seriously."
