Valentina continued to stare at Kaiser suspiciously while they continued to split the enormous bouquet among several of the vases. By the time they were done separating the flowers and arranging the vases around the room, it was almost midnight and time for part 2 of the music video to be released.


Just as she was going to head back to her room with a vase of flowers, Kaiser stopped her.


"Shall we watch the second part of the music video? I'll make you some cocoa."


"Ah, I planned on watching it alone like yesterday..." she trailed off as she saw his downcast expression again.


"...okay. let's watch it together." She couldn't help but give in.


"Good. I'll grab you a drink and some snacks." Kaiser replied in a satisfied manner.


Suddenly feeling mentally weak, Valentina sank onto the couch and quickly turned the TV. She truly didn't know what was going on with Kaiser today. For some reason, he seemed subtly pushy and clingy today. What the hell was on his mind?


"You're snacks milady." As Kaiser presented her with a delicate tray with hot chocolate and shortbread cookies, she examined his face trying to find a hint for how he was feeling.


"Thank you." She absentmindedly took the tray from him but continued to stare at him as he sat down on the opposite end of the couch.


"Is there something on my face?" He glanced at her curiously before grinning mischievously, "Or do you just think I'm exceptionally handsome today?"


"No. I just think you're behaving weirdly. Actually, never mind. Let's just watch the video." Valentina simply rolled her eyes and sipped her drink. Maybe the weird feeling was all in her head. He seemed like he was back to normal.


"Mmm, it's about to start," Kaiser commented as he grabbed the remote and increased the volume. He laid his arm on the back of the chair in a casual manner, smiling innocently at Valentina when his finger brushed her hair.


"Behave yourself," Valentina warned him with narrowed eyes and he couldn't help but laugh.


"Yes ma'am."


As the second part of the music video came on and the beginning piano sounds of 'Bring Me to Life' sounded out, he turned to focus on the screen.


POV Kaiser Grayson

As the opening sounds of the music video sounded out, Kaiser found himself completely entranced.


It started off with the scene of the 4 angels and demons happily lounging together before zooming into Valentina's crystal green eyes. He watched the lively and bright expression in her eyes fade into one of pain and darkness as it transitioned into a battle scene where she repeatedly fell and got attacked. Seeing her cough up blood as her body curled up in pain, he could feel heartache and had to turn to look at her to make sure that she was alright. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a real hit, and she was so fragile looking it was amazing her bones didn't break.
