…I … I would like to come visit.
Can it be arranged?
I’m certain we can find a way. I see you’ve been speaking to another one of us, numbersdontliesir. He has built a portal capable of traversing universes. I’m almost certain he would be kind enough to drop you off here, or come with, if asked.
Is that so...? That’s..incredible.
Yes, I will ask him. Thank you.
About the same, I suppose. I’m currently teaching at a university. I am less fulfilled with it than I thought I would be before the war ended, but I would rather have this fate seven times over than go back.
That sounds rather similar to what one of our other selves has been up to. He goes by thelanguageofthestars. Have you talked to him yet?
Ah, yes. We’re good ... well... friends is an odd term, it sounds rather sad to say that you’re friends with yourself.

Hermann stands quickly and nods. Anything to get him out of this conversation. However, once he’s left the room, he reflects on what Newt said.
“You liked it?” He asked, peeking his head back in. “You aren’t pulling my leg?”
He rests back into the couch when the vampire left. Placing a hand over the still dripping w- ound. At least it didn’t hurt.
“Huh? Uh…no? I don’t really lie about that, just sayin’,” offering a small smirk.
He returns with a bit of gauze and medical tape. He smirks when Newt does. “Yes, I suppose you wouldn’t. I’m just not used to people enjoying my presence.” He tapped Newt’s chin gently, prompting him to move his head. “I have antiseptic. I can assure you I’m clean, but we can’t be too careful. It might sting a bit though.”
He was sugar coating it, he knew. ‘ a bit’ was an understatement.
meingottlieb:
“I- I apologize. I was out of line. “ Hermann says.
He pauses, folding his arms and muttering - “Even if it was just an accident.”
He would rather die right there than admit to Newton that sucking blood made him affectionate. He knew when something was just asking for teasing.
He raises a brow at his words, ligh- tly brushing his fingers against the bite as he spoke, “Dude, it’s fine, it was…nice. In weird ‘he could still k- ill me if he wanted to’ way.”
Flinching at the pressure against th- e the fresh wound. A sigh leaving hi- m. “Ya’ gotta bandaid?”
Hermann stands quickly and nods. Anything to get him out of this conversation. However, once he’s left the room, he reflects on what Newt said.
“You liked it?” He asked, peeking his head back in. “You aren’t pulling my leg?”
Which is all I really care about, if we’re being honest.
How are you then? Things in your universe are well, I hope?
Relatively well. The War is over, and we’re trying to figure out where to go from here.
How are things in your universe?
About the same, I suppose. I’m currently teaching at a university. I am less fulfilled with it than I thought I would be before the war ended, but I would rather have this fate seven times over than go back.
Tendo is there?
It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen him…
It might be nice to come visit…
Mr. Choi has been staying with us, although he’s been quite busy with work lately. I’ll have to see if I can rouse him later.
I would rather like it for you to come visit.
...I ... I would like to come visit.
Can it be arranged?
meingottlieb:
Hermann rolled his eyes. “You’re going to need a mirror to-…” He cut himself off when Newt stopped looking. “And you will receive no judgement on your diet from me.” He says. “I’m not one to talk, after all.”
Hermann blinked. As a natural occurrence, vampires did not have much blood. However, if it was just after feeding, a vampire prone to blushing would be able to blush as red as any other human.
“What? That? That was simply an accident, I- I slipped, and my mouth collided with your ear. Nothing more.”
“Good, or else I would judge you cause you just Kool Aid’d me,” offering a shru- g, his tone joking in every way. He didn’t mind any judgement on his less than sp- ectacular diet. And he found the other’s amusing in this sort of discussion.
He smiled a bit smuggishly at his face an- d his comment. Though his own cheeks r- eddening despite it, his freckles showing more with the blush.
“Uhuh. Says the nice soft and very much n- ot collision-esque smooch my ear got, and I ain’t judgin’. Just sayin’.”
“I- I apologize. I was out of line. “ Hermann says.
He pauses, folding his arms and muttering - “Even if it was just an accident.”
He would rather die right there than admit to Newton that sucking blood made him affectionate. He knew when something was just asking for teasing.
Expected, perhaps, but not welcome.
Not to insult you, I simply still find it jarring to imagine there are exact copies of me running around that I have no control over.
It can be a bit jarring, at first. Luckily, we seem to stay in our respective universes most of the time, so your reputation is safe.
Which is all I really care about, if we’re being honest.
How are you then? Things in your universe are well, I hope?
I just don’t want to be any trouble.
I will be the proverbial third wheel intruding on your happy home.
Do you believe that we never have anyone else in our home? What a lonely existence that would be.
In any case, you can’t have the position of third wheel, Tendo’s living here and I believe he has claimed that one. You’ll simply have to come as a friend.
Tendo is there?
It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen him...
It might be nice to come visit...
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Nature has been trying to kill us off for a long time.
meingottlieb
Another version of myself, I presume?
I suppose so. Unless one of us has a secret twin.
It’s my pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Likewise.
I believe you are the…third double I have met. It’s almost becoming expected, at this point.
Expected, perhaps, but not welcome.
Not to insult you, I simply still find it jarring to imagine there are exact copies of me running around that I have no control over.
I just…can’t imagine why that’s the case, that’s all.
I do say, that is exactly when you need to come over and be reminded of such the very most.
I just don’t want to be any trouble.
I will be the proverbial third wheel intruding on your happy home.
Well, looks like he lucked out. Getting a sort of harmless vampire who only sort of kills people when taking their blood.
Glancing to his side to try and see the bite, he let out a quiet huff in defeat wh- en he realized that he couldn’t see it wi- thout a mirror. Oh well. He’ll do that lat- er. And clean it too. And he’ll have to fi- nd out how to cover it up. Well, that’s f- uture Newt’s problem.
“Are you insulting my diet, man?” A smirk pulling at his lips as a short burst of laugh- ter escaped him. “Well. As long as it keeps away the meano vampires, I think it’s a gre- at diet. Oh…and by the way, what was up with the…ear kiss thing?”
Hermann rolled his eyes. “You’re going to need a mirror to-...” He cut himself off when Newt stopped looking. “And you will receive no judgement on your diet from me.” He says. “I’m not one to talk, after all.”
Hermann blinked. As a natural occurrence, vampires did not have much blood. However, if it was just after feeding, a vampire prone to blushing would be able to blush as red as any other human.
“What? That? That was simply an accident, I- I slipped, and my mouth collided with your ear. Nothing more.”
Newt gave a vague ‘yeah’ and a nod as he took a seat on the co- uch. It didn’t feel like too much b- lood had been taken. But, he was still a bit…woozy after it, just havi- ng his blood pulled from his body was an odd sensation. But it was not a horrible one.
“Huh…so. Good guy Hermi, then? That’s good—a bit relieving—to h- ear.” The term ‘hashtag not all vam- pires’ floated through his mind, a s- mirk forming for a moment.
“How so? Am I more newtritious or something?” Genuine interest filling his voice, rolling his shoulder a bit as he spoke.
Hermann huffs, shaking his head at the nickname. “Yes, I suppose. Though my fellow kind don’t really understand it.”
He rolls his eyes at the pun, leaning forward to wipe a bit of stray blood of Newt’s neck. He felt a strange sort of bond to his victims- not always, but often enough for it to be noticeable. With Newton, it was fairly strong, he wanted to gather the other man up in his arms and take care of him after selfishly taking away the bodily fluid he needed to survive.
“Not particularly newtritious, no.” he says, assuming Newt would actually enjoy the serious answer. “Though I have found that the less substantial a persons diet, the sooner I will be hungry after feeding on them.” He says. “A piece of candy a day will keep the vampire away.” he jokes.
Another sigh left him when he pul- led aw—wait. If it wasn’t for the s- mall amount of blood he lost, his face would be a flustered pink. Th- ough he pushed away that for now, as he wasn’t sure if that was like… a vampire thing to do. To kiss their ears after sucking a bit of blood th- at is.
But, he was here now, swaying eve- r so slightly in place, glancing to loo- k at Hermann again. The bright smile returned as he spoke, “Of course I d- id, it’s not like…everyday that you ca- n be a vampire’s fruit punch, so…” a shrug, flinching a bit as the tiny woun- ds pressed a bit harder against the ha- ndkerchief but not moving away. “Do you like…do that…a lot? The not pot- entially deadly blood sucking or am I an exception? Or something.”
Hermann held Newt tightly, frowning. “Are you alright? “ He was worried for a moment that he had taken too much blood.
He huffed out a laugh at the fruit punch comment, guiding Newt to the couch. He felt icy fear fill him, thinking Newt meant the ear kissing. But he exhaled when Newt asked about the blood sucking.
“Truthfully, yes, but most vampires do not. I’m an exception, because I don’t like killing people just so I can eat. I tend to take from two victims, and not two, to get my fill. Which is more dangerous for me, but...” Hermann shrugged. “But you are certainly different than the other humans I...interact with.”
meingottlieb:
Hermann could sense Newt’s excitement, and he internally rolled his eyes. Only Newt would be excited over having a monster sucking at his throat.
Hermann decided enough was enough and pierced Newt’s skin as gently as possible. Once the holes were made, he pulled off Newt’s neck and let him bleed a bit, his canine’s going back to a more manageable state.
He admired the sight before him, his own cheeks dusted pink- though surely this was only a trick of the light. He shooed the word ‘beautiful’ out of his mind quickly, his tongue coming out to lick at Newt’s neck and clean the wound and drink his fill.
Once he felt his skin get pierced by He- rmann’s fangs, he went immediately sti- ll. Though the combination of horror an- d excitement never faded, as quite the opposite happened. Fist clenching at hi- s side as he felt drops of blood fall from his neck, thankful that it seemed that th- e vampire at least know what he was d- oing. A smirk pulling at his lips when he glanced to him.
His blush only subsided as he felt a pin- ching pain in his neck as Hermann dran- k. It felt like two shots at once, a bit war- mer, and a bit more constant and longe- r though. But it was a lot less painful th- an he imagined. A single quiet sigh pass- ing his lips as he held onto the other’s s- hirt a bit tighter. This was awesome!
When Newt sighed, Hermann really did blush. He pulled off for a moment, kissing Newt’s ear out of apology. “I can’t believe you’re enjoying this.” He says. “No one has ever- I mean... well.”
He sighs and licks the bite marks a bit before pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket. He wipes his mouth and then presses it to Newt’s neck.
He doesn’t move that far away, he doesn’t want to look at him just yet. He wasn’t sure if the kiss on the ear was entirely out of line, Hermann’s judgement and restraint were usually a little hazy after such an...intimate act.
meingottlieb:
Hermann grunted in response. “You won’t end up passed out on the floor.” He says. “…This time.”
His eyes latched onto Newt’s neck as he walked forward in a trance. He was slow, but deliberate, and there was a strange disconnect between the sleepy nature of his expression and the calculated movements of his body.
In the blink of an eye Hermann closed the distance between them, one arm wrapping tightly around Newt’s hips, the other snaking around to tug his head to the side a little harder than necessary.
Newt’s neck was beautiful, tendons and muscles flexing with noise and nervous energy. Hermann chose a non lethal area, closer to the man’s ear and licked and sucked the spot, bringing the blood to the surface.
Holy shit, he was serious.
A surprised squeak left Newt when he was shifted to the monster’s liking, not putting up a fight of any sort though, a- s this was…kind of really awesome. In a kind of spooky terrifying ‘he could just kill me right now and I couldn’t really do anything about it’ way. But he wasn’t g- oing to back out now. Hell no——!!
Swallowing his nerves, his breath shaky as he felt blood rush to his face. Man. Th- is was so weird, but he stayed as still as his near constant vibrating body would a- llow for Hermann. A hand going to their shirt to ground himself out a bit, trying no- t to squeal or giggle at the foreign feeling on his neck, as well as bracing himself for what was to come. “Go ri-right ahead, du- de, straight up Kool-Aid me.”
