Welcome to the 9th Dimitri & Rose Appreciation.

(From the Vampire Academy Series)

^made by let me sign

After two years on the Run, Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir were captured and sent back to their old school, to which they tried to escape from St. Vladimir's Academy.
As punishment for escaping, Rose is bound to her Dorm and has extra lessons to catch up to her classmates, plus private lessons with Guardian Dimitri.
He is everything that a Guardian should be, even at the age of 24. But the more Rose practices with him, the more she begins to see there is more to him than what it appears on the outside.
And whilst these personal sessions go on, they begin to fall for each other, throughout battle and emotional times, this student and teacher relationship forms into something else, something forbidden.

Unexpectedly, he released my hands and leaned forward. Slowly, he reached out and held a lock of my hair, twisting it around one finger thoughtfully. I froze, and for a moment, there was nothing going on in the world except him touching my hair. He let my hair go, looking a little surprised—and embarrassed—at what he'd done

"You see something you like?" I asked.
"Get dressed.”
The set of his mouth hardened, and whatever he'd just felt was gone. That fierceness sobered me up and made me forget about my own troubling reaction. I immediately pulled my shirt back on, uneasy at seeing his badass side.

It was almost like he'd been taken by surprise, like he'd never noticed me before. Had it been any other guy, I would have said he was checking me out. As it was, he was definitely studying me. Studying my face, my body. And I suddenly realized I was only in jeans and a bra—a black bra at that. I knew perfectly well that there weren't a lot of girls at this school who looked as good in a bra as I did. Even a guy like Dimitri, one who seemed so focused on duty and training and all of that, had to appreciate that

Dimitri looked surprised, like he didn't want me to know that, like I'd uncovered some secret part of him. I'd been thinking he was some aloof, antisocial tough guy, but maybe he kept himself apart from other people so he wouldn't get hurt if he lost them. Ivan's death had clearly left a permanent mark.
I wondered if Dimitri was lonely

His lips moved to mine, gentle at first, and then hard and hungry. His kiss consumed me. His hands on my arms slid down, down my hips, down to the edge of my dress. He gathered up the fabric in his hands and began pushing it up my legs. I melted into that touch, into his kiss and the way it burned against my mouth. His hands kept sliding up and up, until he'd pulled the dress over my head and tossed it on the floor.
"You…you got rid of that dress fast," I pointed out between heavy breaths. "I thought you liked it.”
"I do like it," he said. His breathing was as heavy as mine. "I love it.”
And then he took me to the bed.

I was crushing on my mentor. Crushing on my older mentor. I had to be out of my mind. He was seven years older than me. Old enough to be my…well, okay, nothing. But still older than me. Seven years was a lot. He'd been learning to write when I was born. When I'd been learning to write and throw books at my teachers, he'd probably been kissing girls. Probably lots of girls, considering how he looked.
I so did not need this complication in my life right now.

He regarded me with utter seriousness, like he always did. "I think you're beautiful.”
"Beautiful?”
"You are so beautiful, it hurts me sometimes.”

His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish…we could be together.”
"Then why did you lie to me?”
We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
"Why did you lie?" I murmured again
Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
"Because we can't be together.”
"Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?”
His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also…well, you and I will both be Lissa's guardians someday. I need to protect her at all costs. If a pack of Strigoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her.”
"I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
"No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.”
