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.

"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."

"Yeah," she said softly. "Dad wasn't home. It was just me and Mom."

"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."

"I warn you, Shelly. I've got a lot weird stuff going on in my life. Weird people populate it, seriously." Matt says, taking off her shoes and massaging her feet.

"And have you met my crazy dog?" Matt asks.

Whisper snorts in irritation, then walks across the room near to Shelly and settles on the floor next to the couch beneath her.

She looked at him with one brow raised.

"My father is Jericho Drumm. I win at weird. Trust me on this one."

Shelly reached a hand out to scritch Whisper.

"Your dog and I are pals. So far you have no valid arguments as to why I shouldn't date you. Whisper, is it just me or is he avoiding? I'm too awesome for him, huh?"

Whisper barks an affirmative.

"Traitor. I swear, I'm getting a cat the next chance I have, and I'm naming him Not-A-Traitor-Like-Whisper." Matt tells the hellhound.

Whisper simply shows Matt all of his very sharp teeth in a strange approximation of a doggy grin.

"You scare me sometimes, you know that?" Matt says.

Whisper just keeps smiling...before putting his head to down to nap.

"And if you get a cat, I'll steal Whisper. He can come live with me and have all the turkey legs and cheeseburgers he can eat." Shelly nodded sagely.

"But really, Matt. Have you at least thought about it? I mean, hey, if you're more interested in this situation we have going on, that's cool too."

Okay, so maybe a little less cool.

"You're the second woman who's wanted to steal my dog if I don't want him. Marlow will settle for hellhound pups at least." Matt says.

Matt seems to think about it.

"And...what situation is that?" he asks.

"Whisper's awesome, Matt. He just is."

She paused for a moment, uncertain as to what he actually considered things to be. It hadn't occurred to her that maybe he wasn't interested until just then. Now she had to play cool.

"You know...the flirting, the making out, going to dinner together....you staying over sometimes. That thing."

"Oh yes. That situation." Matt says, still rubbing her feet.

"Shelly, yes, I am interested in you. I'd like to see where this goes, but...there are still a lot of things we don't know about me. So if you decide things get too weird for you tomorrow, or next week, you can say so and we don't have to go any further." Matt says.

"I think that's technically called dating, Matt. And it's a two-way street. I just like the idea of tracking on something more than hookups and magic. You're stubborn and impulsive but you get it. That's pretty goddamn rare."

"I want more than hook-ups and magic, too, Shelly. This is new for me, though. I didn't expect to meet anyone like you at all." he says.

"My life has been pretty simple up to now. I find a rogue supernaturals, I kill them and I move on." he says.

"Now, there's the Midnight Sons, there's you and there's...Dracula." he says.

"And the goal of how to get rid of Dracula. Because we have to. I...what he did to Greg scared the shit of me. What if he goes after Michelle next? Or Lynch? No, no if. When. And if he tries something with me..."

She took a deep breath.

"I'm a doctor. I help sick people. I do voodoo healing and a few other things from time to time. I'm trained for the supernatural...but I never expected to be this thick into it. I want to help you get rid of Dracula. I want you free of him."

Matt looks away from Shelly. He knows that what she's saying is true, though he doesn't want to it be. Dracula isn't going to stop until he gets whatever he wants, which they still don't even know.

"Shelly, Dracula is my responsibility. When the time comes, I'm going to deal with him and end it. That's how it has to be. I'm not bringing the rest of you into it." Matt tells her.

"Too late. I'm already in it and I dare say Greg would agree with me. Look, thing one we're going to have to deal with if we're trying this dating thing: we're in stuff together. If our positions were reversed, you wouldn't let me handle him alone."

"That's...different." Matt says, stopping himself before his chivalry got him into trouble.

"I've never been big on bringing other people into things I think I can handle on my own." Matt says.

"We can and we will. However, we need to work on your throat first.

I think I left the cure in my bedroom. Should we go and find it?" he grins.

"I've a feeling we're going to find a lot more than the cure." She grinned at him and moved her feet from his lap. "Lead the way, magic man."
