saw this post and then saw scott bitten by a vampire and thought it would be fun to be my warmup for the day
Legundo had been standing outside Scott's room for precisely fifteen minutes too long when he realized that the prince hadn't returned from his outing. Scott had insisted on going out alone and he had relented-even if he did worry more for the kingdom's sake when it came to the prince going outside when bored-but now he was starting to regret it. He had thought Scott could handle himself, but perhaps his faith had been misplaced. He had promised he would return soon, but there was no sign of him.
A strange noise came from inside his room and Legundo stiffened. His training momentarily kicked in (do not go inside the room without permission, do not be a bother, be silent) before his body remembered that the rules had gone to hell a while ago the minute his heart had decided to choose Scott. Quickly, he entered the room, keeping a hand on his sword in case there was danger.
He did not expect to see Scott crouched on the floor near the window like he had just fallen out of it. Scott's head snapped up and the knight could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. "Go back outside, Legs," He hissed, actually hissed, a sound that was impossible for human organs. Legundo resisted the urge to reach for his sword (more training, always being ready for danger, sword first, ask questions later) and instead took a step forward.
"Scott," He tried gently, far too used to dealing with the prince's difficulties. "Where have you been?" He hesitated, still unused to the fact that he could let his guard down around the other. "I've…been worried."
"Outside, gallivanting." Scott laughed, a strain clearly in his voice. He stumbled towards his dresser and started to dig through it.
"How did you get in here?" Legundo furrowed his brow.
"Window." He pointed to it without looking up like it somehow answered all his questions.
"The castle walls are high, there's no way you got in."
"Well, I am known for doing amazing things, aren't I?" Scott quipped as he snatched up a roll of bandages from a drawer. He staggered over to his full length mirror before cursing under his breath.
"It's late at night, you should've been back a hour ago." Legundo could feel frustration bubbling up in him. He had thought they were past this, past the deception and masks, past the annoying remarks. "Sco-my rose, please. I…I just want to help."
Scott paused at that, shoulders losing their tension. "You're not going to like it."
"I already don't." Scott huffed a laugh as he made his way over to Legundo.
"Just…help me cover it up." He tilted his head and the knight couldn't help but let out a gasp. Scott's neck was marred with a deep bite that bled into his attire. Legundo frowned deeply and took off his gauntlets, carefully bandaging up the wound.
"What…what the hell happened to you?"
Scott smiled wistfully at him and he could've sworn he saw the glint of fangs. "I've made a deal with the devil, I believe. Now, I hope you don't mind, but…I may need some of your blood."
Damn you can’t just be dropping peak in my inbox like this?? /silly
But also I am actually obsessed with this… strange little freaks they are. Only motivating me to expand on this idea more >:3
