Did someone say vampire au angst?
Daniel woke to the sound of something crashing in the bathroom.
His hand shot out automatically, reaching Lando. It had never mattered to Daniel that Lando was a literal vampire and stronger than him in every way. His first instincts were always to protect his boyfriend but this time, his hand fell on an empty space. The bed was cold, sheets disheleved on Lando’s side.
Before he could dwell on the thought, there was a pained hiss from the bathroom and another crash that had him springing up within seconds.
His heart was hammering in his chest. Fear coursed through him because only days ago had hunters broken in after spotting Sebastian and Lando hunting animals in the woods and tried to kill them. Maybe there had been more than the ones Lewis had had them had over to the local council dealing with supernatural affairs?
Daniel grabbed the nearest thing he could find, the bedside lamp that he'd probably have to reimburse the Airbnb they were at for, but it would do. He crept forward, heart thundering until he reached the door of the ensuite. He hesitated for a moment but thought of how scary it had been to watch Sebastian and Lando heal from their wounds and reached for the doorknob.
He managed to throw the door open but the sight inside made him drop the lamp as he looked at Lando in horror.
"Go...away...Daniel....", Lando managed to choke out between wretches. His hands gripped the sink with a strength that normally would have cracked it but something was wrong.
There was blood all over the sink and Lando was shaking. The born vampires skin was so pale that Daniel could see his veins all across his arms, bare chest, neck and his face. He looked ill. Deathly ill and Daniel didn't know what else to do but try to walk towards him even as Lando hissed and bared his fangs at him in aggression for the first time in the years they'd been together.
He didn't even manage to get a sound out before Lando let out a ferocious growl. One that left the hairs on Daniel's arms standing. For the first time, as Lando turned to look at him with a twisted, starved expression on his face, Daniel actually felt scared of the man he loved.
"I said get out", Lando growled, and he used the last of his strength to slam his hands against Daniel’s chest. Usually, that would have possibly killed Daniel or broken a few ribs, but the shove felt just like being pushed by a human as Daniel stumbled backwards.
The bathroom door slammed closed as hands caught Daniel. The lock turned before Sebastian could reach it, even with his vampire speed, as Kimi held Daniel close as he trembled because that wasn't his Lando in there. That wasn't his love.
"What the fuck is happening?", Sebastian asked, eyes wild with surprise and fear as they heard Lando wrenching once more followed by pitiful whimpers but Daniel had no answer to give.
Something was wrong with Lando and Daniel had no clue how to fix it.
