𑣲 vampire!dennis x archeologist!robby au
micheal robinavitch, a archaeologist who dedicated his life to find this cure for all illnesses, the heart of renewal. after years of trying to find it’s location, he discovered it rests in a ancient tomb. but little did he know, there was a cost to pay…
he adjusts his backpack while holding his flashlight to shine through the tomb. surprisingly, the tomb still looks in good condition, the occasional dust, cobwebs, and rock debris are noticeable but it looks like no one has touched this place in years.
as he continues to adventure on, he notices a smooth pedestal with an design. he raises a brow, approaching it. once he gets a better view, a shine of ruby flickers. a red scarlet heart with silver dancing around it and a matching chain to go with it.
was this it? was this the heart of renewal? the object he has put years of work into?
carefully, he reached out and took the amulet into his grasp but, suddenly it started to glow.
the tomb got too quiet, the air was still and flickers of lights appeared, candles with a warm flame. robby stayed in place, waiting if this was the end.
as the candles continued to light, they made a path down the tomb, revealing a pure white coffin. this gave robby a confused expression.
“what the-“ robby mutters, hearing an ancient creak from the coffin opening.
he doesn’t move. he can’t. once the lid falls to floor, he sits up.
pale, creamy skin; almost luminous in the candlelight. when his eyes open, the prettiest blue eyes appear before robby, eyes that robby would always remember. soft caramel curls sway in a breeze that doesn’t exist.
robby is starstruck, forgetting how to breath.
this gorgeous creature of a man steps down from his slumber, his lace veil trailing down the stone floor, his steps gentle.
robby doesn’t know why to say or do. but what he does know is that this man was the most beautiful thing he ever saw. actually- beautiful couldn’t even match this mysterious man’s status.
“you-…” robby says, taking a step back.
suddenly, the man’s gaze locks onto robby, immediately his eyes sparkle from the candlelight.
in that moment there was no hesitation, he goes into robby’s arms, startling the archeologist.
“you came back to me, i knew you would.” the man’s voice was a soft whisper. his pale but cold hand went to robby’s cheek, pulling him into a sweet kiss.
robby couldn’t deny he loved the kiss, but he was so confused. who was this gorgeous man, what did he mean by his words, and most importantly his name.
robby softly pushed him away, trying to look for words. “i-what do you mean by that?”
“i’m dennis whitaker, your husband. you’ve found me.” he said, nuzzling his cheek against robby’s palm.
“no, no, i didn’t..i just came here, looking for an ancient artifact.” robby answers truthfully.
“yes, my artifact. it binds us together. forever. you touched my amulet, giving your soul to me. you were meant to find me.” dennis says with a sweet smile, so mesmerized by his new husband.
“w-what? my soul? how is that-“ robby gets cut off by dennis shushing him.
“shhh..i’ve waited a century to finally reunite with you. let’s not ruined it by your nonsense of speech.” his voice suddenly gets cold, eyes turning to a shade of scarlet, just like his amulet. this manages robby to back up a little, not knowing whether to run.
as dennis see’s his husband’s expression, guilt fills his heart.
“i’m..sorry. i don’t know what came over me..please, forgive me.” dennis says in the sweet, honey tone again, pressing a kiss to the back of robby’s hand.
robby’s emotions calm a little but still trying to figure out what’s going on.
dennis pulls him back into a embrace, his thumb gently brushing against robby’s bottom lip.
“i know you must have questions…and i will answer them, in time. but i have been asleep for far too long to spend my first moments awake simply talking.” dennis whispered in his ear.
“you’ve bound yourself to me. you are my husband now…and i would rather spend this time learning you in ways words cannot. you don’t object…do you?” his pale hands go to robby’s belt, undoing his buckle, but was simply in a trance.
robby sets his flashlight down and after hesitation, he cups dennis’s face in his hands. he kisses him softly but how dennis would’ve wanted it. dennis catches his breath, as if this is a moment he’s dreamed of for centuries. the kiss was long but quiet just wanting each other in this present moment. the candles flicker before going out all at once, leaving them in complete darkness.
