More Vampire AU
~~~~~~~
The mission was going really well. Bruno and Leone had made great headway in gaining the trust of the members of the gentleman’s club they were investigating for suspicious activity. If all went well, they should have the information they needed by tomorrow night.
“One last thing before you gentlemen join our club,” the man said and waved over one of the waiters who poured two small glasses of liquor. “It is tradition to drink together. Are you aware of the absinthe ritual?”
Bruno pursed his lips, and noticed Leone looking suspicious, but he hadn’t seen the waiter slip anything into it. And clubs like this were notorious for interesting rituals— most a lot stranger than this.
Two small glasses were placed on the table in front of them with a sieve placed carefully over the top. The waiter distributed two sugar cubes on the sieve before placing a bottle of chilled water on the table.
Bruno glanced at Leone but the Hunter was already reaching for the bottle of water, pouring it over the sugar cube and knocking back the drink as soon as it melted in.
While Bruno wanted to scold him for not leading with caution, he was rather grateful. He’d never really seen the ritual performed before, but now he moved forward, taking up the bottle and melting the sugar with it.
He picked the glass up and drank.
The burn was instant. So much worse than any other alcoholic drink he’d ever had, even with the sugar and the added water. Was absinthe really that strong? Or was it simply that he had been so used to drinking blood of late that he was uninoculated. He choked and the man who was inducting them watched him like a hawk, solemn, as Bruno shakily set the glass back down.
The man nodded. “Good. You will both be cordially invited to the initiation ceremony tomorrow night where you will be made into official members.”
Bruno nodded, throat still on fire.
As he and Leone made their way out of the room, he felt the burning only increase, and, worse, could taste a coppery tang in the back of his throat.
“Admittedly not as hard as I thought,” Leone murmured as they walked down the deserted hall. “We’ll see if this ‘ceremony’ tomorrow is what it’s claimed to be…”
Bruno reached out and grabbed his arm, half doubling over with the fire that was currently burning through him.
“What?” Leone turned around, but his eyes widened when he saw Bruno’s face.
“Something’s wrong,” Bruno managed in a strangled voice before he choked, his hand coming up to cover his mouth. When he pulled it away, it was flecked with blood.
Leone’s face turned to horror. “The drinks? But I’m—”
“Holy water,” Bruno croaked. “It was…”
Leone grabbed him and hurried him out of the hallway toward the back exit.
“Stay here,” he snapped, before rushing back inside.
Bruno leaned against the wall outside, arms wrapped around himself as he could feel the holy water burning through him.
He was shocked to see Leone return with a bottle of heavy cream.
“What?”
“Drink it,” he snapped, holding it to Bruno’s lips.
“I can’t…”
“It will coat your throat, trust me.”
Bruno swallowed it down, his raw throat still protesting. “Why—?”
He didn’t get the chance to ask, because Leone was already prying his mouth open and shoving a finger down his throat.
Bruno doubled over, retching. The drink came up along with bloody bile that made him woozy to look at. But Leone was right, it didn’t hurt as much thanks to the cream.
The other Hunter crouched next to him, holding him upright until Bruno had gotten all of the holy water up.
He sank back against the wall, panting. He felt like his insides had been wrung out in scalding water.
“Are you alright?” Leone asked worriedly.
Bruno nodded, wincing. “Will be.” He spit on the ground, wiping his mouth. “I guess that answers our question—they really are anti-vampire.”
“Stop talking,” Leone muttered, wincing as he heard Bruno’s voice. He helped him upright. “It will make our job easier tomorrow. But you need to recover. Let’s get back home.”
Bruno leaned against him as they made their way slowly back to headquarters. Leone was pensive and Bruno sighed.
“Don’t be upset that you can’t be my poison taster anymore.”
Leone snorted. “Half the stuff we use for work can kill you, Bruno. You’re the one who needs to be more careful.”
“Hmm, yes, well, I suppose there are things I still need to get used to.”
He leaned a little more heavily against the other Hunter, the pain exhausting him. “But the missions don’t stop, so sometimes the only thing we can do is look after each other.”

Bruno Week Day 6: Moonlight Mile
Vampire AU Bruno for today's @brunoweek prompt
~~~~
Read on Ao3
~~~~~
It had taken Bruno a while to accept that he could no longer enjoy the sun, lay under it, bask in its warmth, like he had growing up on the ocean. Taking a moment to feel the heat on his face was one of the things that had always grounded him, bringing him back to old days.
So, when he had been turned by Diavolo and his life had subsequently been turned upside down, it had only made it worse that his once peaceful moment a day was now impossible, leaving him to sit longingly near unshaded windows—but not too close, lest he burn.
But as he had learned to accept his new body—the crimson eyes, the fangs, the need for blood—he had also come to accept his new companion in the night sky. Though it waxed and waned he found it to be a quiet, dependable friend, there in some capacity on all nights but the new moon.
So he had replaced his daily basking with moonlight walks. Sometimes one of the team accompanied him, sometimes it was by himself, but it was there, under the soft light that he had learned to find his peace.

“What do you want, Bucciarati?” Fugo snapped, seeming to get more agitated by the second.
Bruno held up a hand. “I came to ask a favor.”
“Take off the glasses.”
The request took him a bit by surprise. “I will in a moment, but first I have to explain a few things…”
“Take off the damn glasses, Bucciarati.”
Bruno sighed and closed his eyes tiredly as he reached up. “Very well.” He removed the tinted glasses before he turned his gaze upward to meet Fugo’s.
The young man balked, a strangled cry bubbling in his throat as he staggered back a step. “You—what the hell happened to you?”
“The Boss turned me on San Giorgio,” Bruno admitted tiredly.
“San Giorgio?!” Fugo snarled. “Did you know that night, when you lied to our faces?”
“I wasn’t certain…”
“But you suspected, even before I left,” Fugo accused. “What have you done with the others?!”
“I’ve done nothing with them!” Bruno snapped. “How could you think that of me?”
“Because he’s the one who turned you!” Fugo made a strangled sound, his hand fumbling in his coat before he yanked a stake out, holding it up shakily. “Tell me why I shouldn’t put this in your heart right now.”
“Because that’s not what we do—not without cause,” Bruno said firmly.
“And how do I know I don’t have cause?”
“Because I wanted to meet in a place where I have no strength, and you know me, Pannacotta. Didn’t I swear all those years ago that I would never hurt you?”
