starter for @untilthcyrot | Cassidy & Nadja

Cassidy appeared from the shadows of the alley, almost cliche for a vampire, eh? His boots echoed faintly against the cobblestone. He leaned against the brick wall, letting his gaze linger for a moment. ❝Well, well … look who finally decided to show up.❞ He teased, mouth lifting into a quiet smirk.

His eyes sparkled with mischief. ❝I was startin' to think you’d stood me up.❞ He joked, as if this was a regular date. No, not exactly. Cassidy was pretty sure he had one of his vampire hunting religious vigilantes cornered inside the building he was leaning against. He thought a little backup might not hurt. And if there was anyone he'd share fresh blood with, it was Nadja.

Despite the severity of his injuries, a faint hint of wry humor laced his tone as he spoke, ❝Just a minor skirmish with some vampire-hunting religious vigilantes.❞ He was becoming more and more familiar with these kinds of encounters. The vampire-hunting zealots he had encountered were a fanatical group, driven by a misplaced sense of righteousness and armed with an arsenal of holy weapons. They had descended upon him like a pack of wolves. He had been outnumbered and outmatched, but managed to escape. Not unscathed though.

It was the perfect opportunity to see if Kiara’s powers extended to someone like him — not technically alive to begin with. He couldn’t help being hopeful, optimistic that her powers would heal him and stop him from having to feed.

The hunger surged through him, heightened by his body’s need for regeneration. As she touched his face, he could feel her body heat, hear her heartbeat and blood pumping. He had control over himself, but god, it was tempted to just turn his head and  —

❝Well, fuck.❞ He murmured. His hands extended out to look down at himself. ❝It was worth a shot, but — ❞ He felt around on his chest, abdomen to check out the injuries. Well, they weren’t hurting nearly as badly, so that was a plus. ❝I don't know how well it worked. I think it did something. — Are you okay?❞

The neon glow of the bar sign flickered lazily against the darkened alley, casting shadows that danced around Cassidy as he leaned against the brick wall. His arms crossed and he looked over the hot of his sunglasses (yes, he was wearing them at night, like the song). He flashed a roguish grin. ❝Come on now ... Don't be like that.❞ His voice was sing-song, playful.

He sighed softly, pushing the sunglasses up into his already disheveled hair. ❝I've never really met anyone else like us. We can at least talk about it.❞ His usual demeanor had changed a little bit. He wanted to learn more about himself. He'd figured it all out on his own, so meeting someone else gave him a bit of hope or something.

STARTER FOR @apurekindness from Cassidy

❝I'm sorry, love, but I don't know if we've met before.❞ Cassidy started to say. But the wheels started to turn in his head, he remembered. He had shown up at the hospital, like he often did when he was hurt. It wasn't to receive medical care. It was to sneak off to find the blood supply so he could heal himself. He didn't prefer feeding on live beings ... especially humans. That was a big no. But if the blood was already available? Fuck it.

❝Oh, yes! You were the lovely lady from the hospital that I talked to. I was the one ... covered in blood. It's a miracle, really. I'm feeling much better than I was the other day.❞ He often thought that wondering into the ER would keep him anonymous. There were so many people in and out, did any of the doctors or nurses really notice him? Apparently this one had.

@painofhumanity continued from here.

Cassidy listened closely to Jack's heart rate, the way that is spiked and the heat that filled his cheeks. Jack was shy and cute, but the last thing he wanted to do was something wrong. The silent encouragement made a smile cross Cassidy's features in return. ❝Just ... push me away if I do something you don't like. I'll get the hint. Won't hurt my feelings.❞ He told him softly. He leaned in closer to his neck, and he could feel the heat that was radiating off of Jack, the buzz of his skin. ❝I think that you won't want me to stop.❞ His lips almost brushed against Jack's skin as he spoke. As he pulled back a little, he did press the lightest kiss against his cheek, but then he really kissed him on the mouth. He didn't bother keeping it soft, he kissed Jack hard.

"well shit, that scuffle got nothin' on a good ol' texas brawl but it wasn't the lamest fight i ever been in." he chuckled "you good pard'ner? ya looked pale as a ghost in there."
