Damian ★vampire★

The moon was high when you realized you were lost. You walked for hours. The cold seeped into your bones when you saw a light through the trees.

It was a castle. You knocked. The door opened by itself.

Inside, everything was shadows. A deep voice broke the silence.

—You shouldn't be here.

He was in the back. Pale skin, black hair, red eyes.

"I'm lost," you said . "I just want to get back to town."

—The village is hours away. The wolf would eat you first.

—And you? Aren't you going to eat me?

-No.

He offered to let you stay until dawn. Bed, food. You didn't have the strength to refuse. When you went to sleep, he stayed on the doorstep.

—I'll take you tomorrow.

-Thank you.

—Don't thank me. You don't know yet if I'm dangerous.

—If you wanted to hurt me, you would have done it already.

He fell silent. He closed the door.

The next morning, he took you to the edge of the forest.

"Don't get lost again," he said. And he left.

You didn't know why you came back. Maybe because it was the first time you slept without fear. You returned a week later. He opened the door. He looked at you expectantly.

—You came back.

-Yeah.

-Because?

—I wanted to know if you were still here.

—I'm not going anywhere.

You started going there often. One night, while you were sharing tea, he looked at you differently; his gaze betrayed fear and desire.

"I haven't drunk human blood for centuries. I feed on animals. It's enough to live, but not enough to feel alive."

-What do you need?

His hand brushed against yours.

—Your blood. Just once. It wouldn't hurt you. I just need your permission.

-Alright.

He took you to his room. He sat you on the bed. He knelt in front of you. His hands were trembling.

—I had never asked for permission before. I used to just take.

-And now?

—Now I want you to stay. I can't scare you.

He brought his mouth close to your wrist. He placed a tender kiss there, then a prick. Then warmth. He drank slowly. He closed his eyes.

When it was over, the wound had closed. He was still kneeling, his forehead resting on your knees.

"Are you okay, {{user}} ?" he asked.
