Zach hated himself for how automatic his arms were, wrapping around Eli the second he scooted closer. He told himself it was just because Eli probably wanted to be held and it’s what he owed the guy after taking some of his blood—even if he just liked holding Eli anyway. “Yes, you are.” He said, meeting Eli’s gaze softly with an accompanying, lazy smile. “You feel closer to me after you were moaning over some euphoric sensation when I was sucking your blood. It’s not… that deep. Just… a side effect, I think.” But they were closer whether Zach liked it or not. It was that little tether he was just oh so surprisingly fond of. “But of course we’re friends. I even asked you out on a non-date, remember?” Zach giggled and squeezed his arms around Eli tightly, curling into him a little. He fit a leg between both of Eli’s, getting as close as possible. “Maybe it is that deep.” Zach said, because he felt bad for saying it wasn’t since it maybe was. Feeding was an intimate thing! Especially when you cared about the other person, and Zach really did care. He smiled at their pets and closed his eyes. “What kind of mood?” He chuckled, then, humming delightedly and opening his eyes to meet Eli’s gaze. “Thank you! So are you.”

eli now wanted to be held every second of every day, it’s just the way he was. he was getting too used to zach but it wasn’t really a bad thing, not in his mind anyway. ‘i’d like to think it was because you were still.. caring, in a sense. it was fucking euphoric, but i don’t think it’d be the same feeling with anyone else. tell me what i taste like, is that a strange question? can you like, tell what i had for supper? i mean, i know you know but can you tell?’ even if this wasn’t the most comfortable, eli too wrapped his arms around zach, hugging him as they lay there facing each other, only pulling back to rest his head on the pillow with a sigh. ‘i know, i know. but we’re friendlier now, aren’t we? either way, i like it. i like being this way with you.’ he definitely didn’t feel like a pest any longer, just a boy who was lying in bed with another boy and their pets and everything was good and perfect. except for the whole zach went rabid last night thing, but oh well. ‘just a mood. a very good mood!’ he grinned, pulling his hand around to poke zach’s nose. ‘really? i’m cozy? good! maybe we can do this more often.’

Eli resting his head on Zach’s chest while standing up was one of the cutest things Zach’s seen all day. And Eli was an inch or so taller, so he was definitely hunching a bit. “Merlin, Eli.” Zach giggled, wrapping his arms around his shoulders. He smiled down at Eli and once again, wondered how they got this way and why it felt so okay to be this way when Zach knew he wanted to know so many more things about this man. “I won’t—oh!” His arms lowered to his hips quickly to catch him—a little too quickly, but it’s just his heightened reflexes and senses. Power was power, after all—and he smiled softly, meeting Eli’s sleepy gaze for a moment. “I can’t go, I guess. You’re right.” He whispered, turning his head toward Eli’s to nuzzle his face into his hair as he walked toward Eli’s room. He only pulled away to look where he was going. Zach couldn’t believe they were acting like this, so god damn affectionate. He liked it so much, was certain he craved it just as much as he craved blood, because even if he knew this was bad, Zach wasn’t discouraging Eli right now and was certainly returning his affections, too. Holding Eli with one hand, he pulled at his covers and lowered him down into the bed. Zach even tucked him in and ran over to the other side to hop in. “You are really affectionate today.” Zach said, turning to face him. “What gives?”

eli grinned massively as zach caught him, because now this was something he could do all the time. eli rested his entire body weight on zach since he could easily handle it apparently and smiled as he was lowered into the bed, already missing zach by his side. immediately he scooted closer, ‘am i? i don’t know. i feel closer to you. like, before i just used to annoy you. but now we’re like... friends?’ he shrugged, snuggling into his side and greeting their pets as they hopped onto the bed without a doubt. ‘i’m just in a mood, and you’re cozy as fuck.’

Zach’s heart completely melted at Eli’s little upset sound from being woken up. How fucking cute? He’s fucking cute. Zach couldn’t hide his endearment if he tried, as surprising as it was. He smiled even more when Eli turned in his arms and ran his hand through his hair. Zach could fall asleep again but they were not staying here another minute. “No, we were asleep for… for a while. A few hours. Of course I can. I’m all strong now.” Zach giggled, and in a moment, they disapparated to appear right in their dorm, on the floor, still lying down together, greeted by their pets instantly. “Oh no, I hope we’d be able to sleep more!” Zach whined, pulling away to greet their pets for a moment before pulling Eli up to his feet. “You especially need sleep. You’re really sleepy, aren’t you?” He giggled and peered up at him. “Do… do you want me to leave you alone or?” He asked, trying to ask if Eli wanted to sleep with him again without really saying it.

eli was still whiny, no matter the time of day, he was just tired and wanted to sleep more. it wasn’t even because of the blood at this point, he was just tired as it was. he snuggled into zach’s side as they apparated and whined again because he could hear their pets running over and eli was still too sleepy to open him eyes. ‘i really am. i’m never sleepy, but i really am today.’ he pouted as zach pulled him up to his feet and just rested his head on zach’s chest, his arms draping around him loosely. ‘no don’t go.’ he looked up with an over exaggerated pout before jumping up to wrap his legs around zach’s waist and his arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly. ‘now you can’t go!’ he giggled, nuzzling his face into his neck.

It was a good thing Eli was a wizard. He wouldn’t have to wait as long as muggles to recuperate and replenish whatever Zach’s taken from him. Still, Zach hoped he’d be okay. You never know! He softly laughed at Eli’s words, hoping he’d never even have to do this again. He didn’t want to make it a habit, didn’t want Eli getting addicted or he himself getting too used to Eli’s blood and depending on it. “Or never, don’t worry. I’m not going to feed from you again.” Zach said. “I still have some my stash. I just didn’t want you leaving to go get it.” He pouted, but his smile returned as Eli curled into him. He wished he didn’t enjoy this so much, but he really did. Zach actually really liked snuggling, but god he’d made the mistake of sticking his arm right under Eli. He pulled it out and instead placed it right under Eli’s pillow, feeling immensely now that his arm wasn’t going numb. But his other one was still there around Eli anyway. “Sorry, my arm. But I’ve got you.” He smiled softly, his heart melting when Eli turned around again. “I won’t. You’re the one I should worry about more. You don’t die. Stupid.” Zach whispered, wondering how they got this affectionate, but he liked it too much to care—and Eli was sleepy. He closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep. It didn’t last all too long, though. Zach woke up several times since he’d been passed out for who knows how long and he was already a light sleeper. After some hours, a healer told Zach he could go home if he was feeling well, and he took the moment to gently shake Eli awake. “Eli?” He voiced, smiling a little. “Eli, let’s go back to our dorm.” He was excited to leave, honestly. He didn’t like the hospital. “Hmm? Wake up, you. We can just apparate out of here and everything and you can continue sleeping when we get back.”

eli only laughed quietly when zach readjusted his arm and nodded because this was cozier than sleeping on his arm. he didn’t know when they got to being this way but he didn’t mind it one bit, he liked cuddling and he liked having zach hold him. a little bit too much, but whatever. it’d been a hectic day, he figured he deserved this. they both just wanted such simple things, for the other to not die and he figured that wasn’t asking for too much at all. he fell asleep like a baby, snoring softly and just feeling the most relaxed he’d been in the past 24 hours. he woke up softly when zach start to shake him and just let out a soft noise in protest, turning around in his arms and brushing his hair back. ‘already? i feel like we were asleep for ten minutes! can you apparate us back?’

zachariahsisms:

“Yeah?” Zach said with a small, quiet laugh. Of course Eli was tired. It was the side effects of side effects when humans were fed on. “You sounded like you enjoyed that.” He giggled, regaining every bit of composure and feeling so much better, so rejuvenated. But now, Eli was tired, lacking energy and mild blood loss. Zach was worried. “Oh, hold you?” Zach asked, but he nodded anyway. He felt closer to Eli just from this alone. Zach had done so much to keep them at a bit of a distance from each other but here he was, digging himself in deeper by giving Eli what he wants. Except, holding Eli sounded fun anyway. He fell onto his side beside Eli and shimmied a little so he was comfortable before wrapping his arms around him. “Of course. anything you need. I’m here, okay?” Zach asked, nuzzling his face underneath Eli’s chin. “Sleep, Eli. I i will, too. Or I’ll try, but… yeah. No worries, you’re okay. And… thanks for letting me… feed from you. As infuriated as I am that you’d risk it, I’m grateful.” He had the wildest urge to lift his head up and kiss Eli’s cheek, but he didn’t. He just grew comfortable and held Eli protectively. “Goodnight, idiot.” He whispered fondly, smiling to himself as he fell asleep, too.

it was funny how quickly they switched positions but eli was fine, he’d just sleep a little bit extra so his body had more time to create fresh blood and that would be it. simple as that, the lost blood wouldn’t be missed again. he wasn’t thinking much about his requests, just that he liked zach’s arms around him and he wanted to be held as he slept. ‘i’m here, too. just maybe not for blood till tomorrow, or something.’ he laughed so quietly, just making a little joke before curling up right against zach’s body and resting his hand over zach’s arms. ‘anytime.’ he was about to end it at that but he turned around again to look at zach, just nuzzling his head against him gently. ‘please don’t die on me, stupid. goodnight.’

zachariahsisms:

He’s done this… a few times. Zach was guilty of it. More so recently with Nate but that was because he really couldn’t give a fuck if he made Nate pass out from blood loss. On any normal day, the guy annoyed the living hell out of Zach but they were somehow friends, but even then it was still so rare that Zach did this at all because o the first time he ever did. He just hadn’t felt this tethered to someone in a while, probably because he cared about Eli deep down and knew he’d be Zach’s undoing. He concentrated—or tried to—on the taste, and thinking he’d never tasted someone so sweet and mouthwatering. His left hand reached out to grab Eli’s hand blindly, but when he found it, he brought it close to Eli’s head on the pillow and threaded their fingers together. Zach was on the verge of losing it, but so was Eli, and he yet he was able to do this, to squeeze Eli’s hand to anchor him. It also anchored Zach, to hold his hand. He smiled against Eli’s neck, having a newfound guilty pleasure of making Eli moan. Stupid Eli was already sinfully beautiful and he had to sound so hot, too? While Zach was feeding from him? Cool. But Zach was feeling warmer, not as cold, and felt a little stronger and livelier with every drop of blood that he swallowed. To feel powerful and strong was an addiction on his end alone, and he almost didn’t stop and realize he was famished. Zach made the softest sound against Eli’s neck, fighting with himself, but he was holding Eli’s hand, wasn’t he? He pulled away slowly, panting hotly into Eli’s skin before pressing a kiss to the two punctures his fangs made, making them heal up and disappear before he sighed slowly and lifted his head up to look at him. “Eli?” Zach asked, breathing deeply and knowing they’d be the death of each other. “Hey, how’re you… how’re you feeling? Are you okay? You want water? I’ll get you water—do you want to sleep? What do you want me to do?” He asked, his hand loosening its tight grip from Eli’s to brush back his hair, eyes gazing at him worriedly.

eli was slowly beginning to lose his conscious amongst all this, forgetting what he was meant to be and thinking how he wouldn’t mind if life was like this forever. pure bliss. but his brain was fighting hard to remember to not let go and remember who he was because a bloodwhore is not who he was. somehow as his hand found zach’s, he was brought back to reality with a soft sigh, squeezing his hand in an effort to thank him for taking care of him. because in the end, that’s all the other wanted, to take care of each other and make sure they were safe. eli’s body fell back on the bed as zach’s fangs withdrew from his skin and he let out a shaky breath. he opened his eyes to see zach, fingers instinctively going to feel where he was just bit and still being surprised how zach managed to close the wound that zach. ‘uh.. sleepy. tired, lazy, everything i was before.’ he shrugged, struggling to form proper sentences as his hand went back down to his side, eyes drooping against the pillow. ‘hold me? for a little bit, i’m.. falling asleep, honestly.’

zachariahsisms:

Zach visibly melted, feeling awful yet again for probably coming off as a dick to Eli, but it was also for the best. It was always for the best, especially with this situation. He was so endeared that Eli wanted to be there for him despite everything. Zach wished he wasn’t starved. “God, that’s such a sweet sentiment at such a bad time!” Zach whispered harshly. “You couldn’t have picked a time I wasn’t starving, huh? This isn’t like having no self control over eating a bucket of candy in less than an hour.” He sighed, one hand resting over the side of Eli’s neck. It was so inviting—which was a bit of a weird thought, but it was. He smiled a little, too worried in case anything went wrong to laugh. “I don’t despise you. I won’t, either. I just… I care about you, too. Obviously.” He brushed back Eli’s hair with his other hand and met his gaze, taking in a deep breath and letting it out. “I’m gonna bite you, okay?” Zach said before hesitantly ducking his head into Eli’s neck. Oh, he was so fucking hungry, he truly was, and he felt he might go berserk if he doesn’t actually get something good in his stomach soon. Or Eli would die, or get hurt, without a question. Zach’s eyes trailed over the tender skin of his neck before he opened his mouth, canine fangs elongating, and he bit right through into Eli’s pulse point. He willed the initial pain to disappear as fast as it came as the sweetest, most savory, most ambrosial blood seeped into his mouth, and he moaned at the taste—rather the way people did when they ate something good.

‘okay, okay, okay,’ his heart was racing, he was sure zach could tell, but it was anticipation and excitement. honestly, he had no idea what to expect.. sure that split second of pain as his fangs punctured through eli’s pulse point, but the running sensation of absolute pleasure running through his veins? that was news to him. eli was always a moaner, whether it was good food, good sex, or literally anything in between. sometimes he couldn’t control his noises as well as he’d like to and instantly he let out such a soft whimper as he tried to keep his body from being too loud. funnily enough, it wasn’t sexual, more so, intimate. he was positive he’d never formed this sort of a connection with anyone any time before and now it was clear why zach thought this was a bad idea because it was addicting. his moans before louder but he focused on letting them out to muffle against zach’s hair or directly into his ear softly. his back arched up as he began to feel so much of his energy drain from him and into zach’s mouth, but he wasn’t complaining. having zach’s fangs in seriously clouded his judgement and kept him from thinking straight or even being able to tell what day it was but he felt so fucking good, he didn’t care.

zachariahsisms:

“Eli,” Zach sighed exasperatedly and looked at the ceiling as Eli threw a little hissy fit over Zach literally not wanting to potentially end his life. Eli didn’t get it. Any of it. And Zach wasn’t comfortable telling Eli that he was so fucking scared of not stopping because it happened already when he was seventeen. He’d killed before, so why couldn’t he again? What’s worse is Zach’s terribly weak and hungry, and Eli’s blood tastes like the nectar of the Gods. Oh, but his heart swelled, absolutely touched that Eli was worried about him even if he’d be fine. “Have you quite finished?” Zach asked when Eli was done, looking over at him. His eyes softened, absolutely floored that Eli believed in Zach so much, trusted him not to kill him. That he trusted it’d be okay at all, really. He took a deep breath and climbed on top of Eli, legs on either side of him, and he pressed his hands into the pillow on either side of his head. “If you die, I’ll hate myself for the rest of my life. You really want to risk it? I’m… I’m not… being crazy. This fear that I’ll kill you comes from… something that’s… that’s very real and I’ve tried being careful for so long now but there’s no… promise, Eli. You are… truly mad. The only person who’d see a dhampir go berserk after getting scratched by a werewolf and worry over them so much when they heal that you’d let them feed from you. Do you know how absurd you sound?”

truthfully, eli just didn’t care about anything else in this moment. he didn’t care if he could die or if zach really didn’t trust himself enough to not suck him dry, and he could blame it on the exhaustion and stress of the past day but it was something else. he couldn’t tell why at all but he wanted to be the guy in zach’s corner, wanted to be that person who trusted him through thick and thin because evidently, he already did. ‘zach, fuck. please understand that i’m only pushing this onto you for your own sake. this has nothing to do with us, who we are outside of this or anything. i will never, ever, ever, expect you to do this again. i’ll never ask, i’ll only ever offer if you’re just... in a helpless situation. which you are right now. that’s the only reason i am doing this, and i’m sorry that i’m extorting to childish manipulation but you need this like i need food.’ he felt a pang of guilt, he really felt bad for making zach do this but it was for his own good and he’d see that. besides this fear of not wanting to kill someone.. how was it meant to go away if he never tried? ‘i’m happily wear a crown that says world’s stupidest person for offering myself to a recently rogue dhampir, but you’re my friend, zach and i trust you with every ounce of trust i have in me. it may seem like i’m just trusting you without really knowing you, but it’s much deeper rooted than that. i know you have a good heart. please try not to despise me for forcing you to feed from me.’

[elirossy]

zachariahsisms:

“No.” Zach said, point blank. He was not going to. Not happening. And Eli needed to stop. But god, did Eli’s forehead have to start bleeding? As if he needed any other temptations. And Eli’s blood was good—too good, and he hadn’t even tried it yet. He just knew it was his favorite blood type, and Eli was vegan and didn’t drink or smoke or do any drugs. He could only imagine how sweet it’d be and Zach was certain he’d never want to stop. He met Eli’s eyes again when he took his wrist, and he shook his head at how fucking insistent the guy was. “You’re getting on my nerves again.” Zach said, but it wasn’t as harsh as he meant for it to come out. “Oh, you’ll make noise.” Zach told him, just way too certain of that. Zach looked up at Eli’s forehead again, ignoring his pleas and pulling his hand back so he could wipe away at the wound before it started bleeding again. He leaned in, pressing a slow kiss to Eli’s forehead right over the wound. It healed gently, sealing up, but there was still a bruise. He laid back down and looked at Eli before putting his thumb in his mouth to suck on it fast, to get Eli’s blood off of it. But, fuck, it was so good. It—better than good. Absolutely delectable and it was just a drop or two, just a taste. Zach looked at Eli and shook his head, trying to ignore his cravings that were begging to be given into. “Not happening. Your forehead shouldn’t bleed anymore.”

‘i’m getting on your nerves because i’m telling you to do basic things... like, feed?’ eli tilted his head, definitely grouchy that zach ignored him all together when his plan the most sense. he was thankful because the forehead was pinching him a little but he didn’t say anything about it. ‘great. i’m not bleeding, you don’t like animal blood, you refuse to drink from me so i really only have one option here. don’t i? where will i steal human blood from? fuck knows. but you’re not passing out again because you’re a stubborn, annoying fucker on my watch. d’you know i’ve sat here for the past twelve hours because i was that worried about you? even if they said you were fine, i just wouldn’t leave until i saw you wake up. i didn’t even go home to feed our animals, i made evie do it.’ eli muttered bitterly, not usually being the sort to need attention drawn to himself but he felt it was important that zach actually understood him for a change. rather than looking through him and barely listening. 

[elirossy]

zachariahsisms:

“’Night together.’” Zach muttered, scoffing so quietly. It was funny Eli would say that when he literally disappeared and Zach found him kissing Nik, so. But he shook his head, still hating himself and beating himself up for what happened. “I don’t remember if I was hungry.” He admitted. “And it doesn’t matter, even now. I could be bloated and still want blood. And… losing control isn’t… that different. It’s not aggressive, sure, it’s not messy and not painful, but… losing control is that easy and I could just not stop and keep draining the life out of someone and it’s just awful.” He sighed tiredly and rested his forehead on Eli’s shoulder. He didn’t know when they got this way, but it was comforting and didn’t feel… weird. Or awkward. Zach smiled slowly, content that Eli’ll stay. He was warm and nice to be close to. Bad, Zach thought, but he was too tired to move or push Eli out. He didn’t want to, either. “I’m exhausted.” Zach groaned, closing his eyes, but he smiled again when Eli took his hand with both of his. He looked up from Eli’s shoulder, meeting his eyes softly.  “No, idiot. Don’t want you hurting yourself for my sake. And if you think I’m capable of a nibble, then you’re wrong.” But then, his eyes shifted unbelievably quick to Eli’s forehead, the blue of them darkening the tiniest bit. He swallowed hard and bit his bottom lip, smiling a little. He was happy to hear Eli wanted to go on another non-date, but he ignored pretty much most of what he said, not meeting Eli’s eyes anymore at all. He was so transfixed over the bandaged wound on his forehead. “You’re bleeding.” He said, his free hand coming up to carefully pull back the gauze gingerly. “I can close it for you. Heal it, even. A tiny bit, so it won’t open again at least. Do you want me to?” He asked, his mouth watering a little and making him swallow again. 

eli made a million mental notes to himself to discuss this with zach at home when they were both a little bit more rested and feeling fresh. eli pouted because zach only kept beating himself up about it but another problem they could tackle later. they were both so stubborn, eli so dead set and sacrificing his blood for zach and zach refusing to take it. ‘then a big nibble! just tell me, okay? don’t be stupid and pass out because then i’ll do dumb things like force my blood down your throat to save your life and it’ll get too dramatic.’ eli was still mumbling when he noticed zach go quiet and not even look at him anymore. ‘i’m what?’ he didn’t mean to sound like an idiot but then he realised the blood was trickling down his forehead slowly. ‘um. yeah, of course. but-- wait.’ eli held onto zach wrist, locking gazes with him because he was truthfully worried. ‘we’re in a hospital, i’m already bleeding and we’re in a hospital. i make noise, someone will be here in seconds. just drink some, please? you’re looking paler than normal and it’s worrisome and you don’t even have to bite. and then you can heal me, that’s fine. please?’

“You never know, okay?” Evie laughed, grinning up at him. Her eyes widened and she nodded seriously “Yeah, I did. I heard… werewolves. That’s crazy, right? And then I heard your twat of a roommate went crazy and bit, like, two people because he’s not human!” Evie sighed heavily and shook her head. “You didn’t tell me! Has he hurt you?” She asked accusingly. “Like I get it you like him but y’know.” Evie rolled her eyes. Of course Eli would accidentally hurt himself. How so… Eli of him. But she smiled and nodded. “I’m totally fine. I wasn’t even present for any of it. Went home… with Ven.” She sighed softly and her eyes lit up, remembering something. “I need your help! I wanna do something nice for Ven but I don’t work and I don’t cook.”

‘how ‘bout we stop calling him a twat? zach. okay yeah, he’s a half vampire. i knew. i couldn’t tell you! it was his secret to keep or tell! he gets blood delivered and it’s funny because you have to keep it refrigerated so i just put all his post in the fridge now. no, he hasn’t hurt me! he’s a good bloke, i promise.’ eli shook his head fondly, trying to keep the little blush just that, little at the thought of zach. this crush was definitely growing but, for right now he had to be calm about it. ‘you went home with ven or you went home with ven?’ eli asked, because the two phrases had very different meanings. he hummed at the idea of evie wanting to do something genuinely nice for someone else. ‘i can help, of course. zach’s a good cook too and he loves venus so as long as it’s not like... a boob cake, count us in. what’s your idea? tell me, tell me!’

zachariahsisms:

“Hospital food, am I right?” Zach joked, even if he wasn’t particularly lying with this one. “Yeah, yeah, I really do think it was a rabbit.” He said, frowning and shaking his head. “I’d rather starve.” He blinked in surprise when Eli climbed into bed with him. Zach stared at him, wondering if they were even at this point, but he himself didn’t really mind. Not at all. Zach pulled at the covers underneath Eli to drape them over him as well. “It was me, Eli. I was… fully aware of what I was doing. I just couldn’t… not attack. Something really took over me. And I mean… I feel I could get to that point if I’m not careful. And my friends… I bit my friends, Eli!” He whined, loathing himself even more. “I doubt it. I was scratched, not bitten. I don’t think hybrids are a thing. Then again, it’s not easy to find information on half vampires in general, so who knows?” Zach pouted at the thought of Ori. Poor Ori. So sickly, so sweet. “I like Ori being the only dog anyway.” He said. Zach gave Eli a look and sat up to peer down at him. “Erm…” He swallowed hard and scratched the back of his head. “I…. no.” He admitted, finding Eli’s company very comforting. And they were in the bed together! It was so sweet and he felt so touched that Eli was even here at all. “I don’t… can you stay?” He asked shyly, lying back down and facing him. “I’m not feeding from you.” He said quickly and sternly. “Absolutely not. Out of the question. I’ll just starve. I’d rather do that than… than bite you. I’m too weak right now and there’s no telling if I’ll stop, and if I do, you could get addicted to how it feels and honestly I can’t have any of that. I’ll just wait til the nurse comes and tells me I can go home, okay? But please stay.” Zach whispered the last part, smiling sadly. He met his eyes and sighed, impulsively taking Eli’s harm and hugging it with both of his own. “Do you still want to go on a third non-date? Even after I got upset at you and… and almost attacked you?”

‘you’re the fucking worst.’ eli howled in laughter nonetheless, finding his stupid joke so incredibly funny. maybe he really was smitten with this boy because it the was dumbest thing he’d ever heard. honestly, he’d taken the leap of faith without much thought and moved up so zach could drape the blanket over them... and well, now they were in bed together. after two.. sort of dates. non-dates, he supposed. eli kept his hands to himself in a worry that maybe it wasn’t what zach wanted or needed right now but it saddened him to see himself picking on himself. ‘i know you did. and it really sucked, zach. it really sucked that our night together ended with me having to rip you off your friend and throw you out. that wasn’t what i had planned but it was an unexpected situation and c’mon, even you have to know that wasn’t you on a regular basis. were you even hungry? stop picking on yourself, you almost died, idiot. your friends are alright, you’re alright, i’m alright. so just... sigh in relief, damn it.’ eli scrunched his brows, taking a peek through the curtain but turning his gaze back to zach when he reached for his hand. his heart absolutely melted and he nodded, scooting down the bed to lay down beside him. the second his head hit the pillow it was as if all his exhaustion hit him like a brick. ‘i’m here, i’ll stay. i get the ethics behind not feeding from me, but this isn’t really about me. it’s about you. please don’t starve. please? i don’t want cotton swab bloke to come back.’ eli smiled, covering zach’s hand with his free one so they were like a cute hand sandwich. ‘will you tell me if you feel really exhausted? you can just have a little tiny nibble. like i’ll just pour some into a cup so we don’t have to worry about me being addicted to you?’ eli asked, all the worry lines on his face making his wound open back up but he hadn’t noticed, the blood had barely even pooled out. ‘of course i do! otherwise almost attacking me will have been for nothing. i’m kidding, but yes, really. and of course we do still have to properly discuss that whole you being upset with me, but maybe another time. i’m so fucking tired right now, so you win, i’m sorry.’

[ladyrydell]

“Hi! I’m so happy you didn’t die!” Evie said, running up to Eli and hugging him. She pulled back quickly after a squeeze before looking up at him and sighing happily. “You are okay, right? And your twat of a roommate? ‘Cause you like him so much but when I met him he was nice. Oh,” she pouted and nodded up at him, looking at his forehead. “You got hurt. Who do I kill for hurting you?”

‘why would i die?’ eli mocked, but hugged his little sister as tight as humanly possible because she was all in one piece and seemed more or less untouched. ‘i’m good, i’m perfect. so is my twat of a roommate. did you... hear what happened there?’ eli raised his brows, testing the waters to see if the cat was out of the bag or not. ‘uh, this.. was my own fault. i fell, hit my head. it’s healing, i’m good. and you’re okay? like 100% okay? not a cut, bruise or scratch on your body, right?’

Why did he feel so weak? God damn, what did they give him?! Zach groaned softly, his stomach craving for what he always drank. And yet, he felt so god damn tired that he couldn’t even find it in himself to properly complain. “Of course I’d live. I was only scratched.” Zach said, giving Eli a small smile. Oh, he wished they’d ended the night better than they did. His jealousy ended with them in an argument and then everything went to shit. And it all seemed so pointless now. Eli was here and he was a sight for sore eyes, even in his wrinkly suit and exhausted eyes. He lowered his gaze, remember when he’d heard Eli wake from being knocked out that Zach made a rather aggressive beeline for him. “Right, yeah. Before.” He tilted his head from side to side. “I’m okay. I know I am. But…” he bit his lip and knit his eyebrows together. “What are they giving me? To drink?” He asked curiously. “’Cause… I feel really off. With my strength. I feel just tired and ugh, maybe it’s because I woke up but I feel fine otherwise.” Zach shook his head and sighed heavily, swallowing hard and running a nervous hand through his hair. His eyes did a double take to the nightstand and he grabbed the cup on it that was filled with the tiniest portion of blood ever, and he drank it in one—but coughed. “What is that? Rabbit?” Zach felt like throwing up. Not only did animal blood not satisfy him whatsoever and taste absolutely bland, but he hated drinking from animals. “Oh I feel awful. I lied.” Zach groaned and sunk under the sheets, covering his face with it and hating the brightness in the room. He felt like he was hungover, but knew he wasn’t. He’d never even been hungover, but this must be what it felt like, only with awful hangover food. Zach poked his head out to look at Eli, who was still simply the loveliest sight and made things a little better. It took a moment for him to properly sit back up, and he waved a lazy hand to pull the curtains around them so no bright sun from the windows could irk his sensitive eyes. “Erm… i remember.” He said, rather slowly. “I remember everything.. Hurting my friends… and almost hurting you. God, something took over me.” He shook his head and wished it wasn’t real, but it was. “And everything before. Oh god, just… it was such a nice night and it turned to shit and i was an absolute monster.”

eli wracked his brain to answer zach’s question but quite honestly, had no answer. they were giving him some sort of blood and that’s about as much as he knew. ‘uh... i don’t know.’ he shook his head, gesturing to the cup as zach’s hand went for it as if it to say whatever was in that cup. ‘rabbit? i’ve been sitting next to a bunny?’ he whined softly, cringing away and coming onto the bed beside zach as he pulled the curtains around them. ‘you got scratched by one of them.. and you just went.. crazy. it wasn’t you, so i don’t think it’s fair to blame yourself. i don’t know what you are but i really hope you’re not going to change into a werewolf on full moons.. because ori, honestly would hate that. he’s the only dog in the house.’ eli smiled a bit to make light of the situation before frowning because he knew zach was thirsty. ‘should i fetch you some proper blood? or, uh, you could borrow some of mine, too... if that’ll help. you don’t have to, i can very easily... probably find you some blood but if it makes it any easier?’

Zach hoped he was just dreaming—or nightmaring. He hoped every bit of what had happened on the night over Valentine’s Day wasn’t real. He hoped he didn’t get scratched, didn’t get sick, and didn’t go rabid and bite Isadora and Priya, and almost attacking Eli… but sadly, he knew it was true. Zach felt so tired and so weak. He wondered what was given to him to keep him sustained. He didn’t feel it was good, whatever it was. His eyes opened slowly and he looked around to see him… somewhere. A hospital? St. Mungo’s? He sighs and looks to his right to see, “Eli?” He says, surprised Eli was even here. “You’re here? Really? Hi.” He sat up a little and felt so weakened. His eyes traveled up to Eli’s forehead and frowned. “Did I do that?”

[elirossy]

eli’s mind still couldn’t wrap around everything that had happened that night. everything from zach and him dancing to zach being upset at him kissing nik to... merlin, everything that happened afterwards. eli having to carry zach out and the medics coming for him. at this point, after days of being by zach’s bedside, eli was very well acquainted with the nurses and healers than tended to zach. they only needed to check on him every now and then since his healing was on track but eli summoned them everywhere. at this point, his suit was a wrinkly mess and he was just hoping to not have to wear it to zach’s funeral. his eyes were beginning to shut out of sheer exhaustion for being conscious for so long when zach finally moved. ‘zach? fuck, zach!’ he sat up instantly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and felt like jumping straight into his arms but he stayed still. ‘hi. i’m so happy you’re awake. they said you wouldn’t die.. but i wasn’t sure. what?’ he blinked softly, hand going up to the gauze on his forehead and he just shook his head. ‘no.. it was before. teddy pushed me out of the way and i hit my head. and then you were... yeah. are you okay? how are you? do you remember everything? everyone’s alright, before you ask. i triple checked.’

“isn’t it the part where you ask me to be your valentine? no? rude. but it’s okay, i’ll just spend it watching all three cars movies with alexander (his little brother). lightning mcqueen is a better daddy than you will ever be anyway.”

‘while i condone sibling bonding, let me be your fucking daddy, nathaniel. you don’t want to be valentine’s, that’s dumb. being your daddy though, that’s a lifetime commitment.’

“Romeo and Julien.” Zach muttered, but giggled nonetheless. He couldn’t stop the small giggles. He wished he could. What was that thing people said? That when you have a crush on someone you laugh with them more? Or something like that. Fuck. “And jam, don’t forget jam. You are so… funny.” Even when he wasn’t, Eli was funny. Fruits and jam? It’s funny that it pleases Eli so much! But it’s pretty endearing all the same. Honestly, fuck this guy. “Ugh, no I don’t like the number 51. Can the surprise date be number 10? Because it’s a milestone and also closer than 50? Notice I’m not asking what the surprise is so I think you should say yes.” Zach flashed Eli a smile and nodded a little shyly. His eyebrows rose when Eli’s heartbeat jumped again. But his expression impossibly softened at his question. “No, not distracting. It’s like background music. I can tune it out a little or a lot.” He shook his head and scrunched his nose. “And no, your voice is fine. You speak fine. No worries.” Zach beamed, happy to hear Eli’ll ask him out to a non-date sometime, but his smile faded as he looked at him in horror. “What—I meant non-dates. A hundred percent. Sorry. Yeah.” He grinned when Eli twirled him, only to gasp when he was pulled back against him. Zach’s eyes darted to Eli’s lips, and his arms lifted up to wrap around his neck, listening to their maybe non-dates and sighing so dreamily. “That all sounds amazing, actually. Really, really nice. Especially for a non-date. Which one of those is next after tonight?”

‘hey, also jam! did you forget the jam?!’ he laughed with zach, finding the sound of his laughter so fucking endearing that he was sure it filled the room. ‘alright, fine. it can be number 10.’ eli nodded because he gives in to zach so easily. he liked the sound of that, like background music. he wanted to put his ear up against zach’s chest so he could hear it but now wasn’t the time for all of that. ‘i know you meant non-dates. gosh, i’d never go on a real date with you. the horror!’ eli chuckled as his hands dropped down to zach’s hips and just swayed them with eli’s own. ‘ice skating, i think. maybe this weekend?’ eli asked so softly because this is eli asking zach on a proper non-date!!! ‘saturday afternoon, and we can go get hot cocoa afterwards oh and mini doughnuts. you know i don’t like them, but i like when people eat them. get cinnamon sugar all over your lips or like, powdered sugar? adorable. and then we can just walk around outside and watch the sunset because it goes down at like 5 anyway. what d’you think? am i talking too much?’
