Blaine was trained to hunt monsters, and Kurt Hummel has always been the worst kind: a vampire. Deadly, ancient, and almost impossible to catch. He’s spent years chasing his shadow across the world, driven by duty, obsession and... something else he refuses to name.
Now, he finally has him—bleeding and cornered beneath the ruins of a forgotten temple. But when truth is more seductive than vengeance, and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur, Blaine must decide what he’s really fighting for.
Because ending him was the plan.
Wanting him was never supposed to happen.

Kinktober Day 7 Prompt: Bloodplay (I'm using this vampire style).
(Just a reminder, I have a new AO3 account for these stories)
Blaine has always loved Halloween: the costumes, the candies, the chance to let go of his troubles for a night of fun.
What’s not to like?
And when he started dating Kurt, who turned out to be an actual creature of the night, he thought he had found the best partner for his night of celebration.
Except that Kurt doesn’t particularly like Halloween.
Scratch that: Kurt loathes this particular day with a passion only rivaled by his hatred of psychedelic fabrics.
Blaine is willing to compromise, he really is: the beginning of the evening will be spent with Kurt, as a regular date night. And then, he will put on a costume (Gosh, he still had to decide whether he wants to be Legends of Korra’s Mako or Good Omens’ Newt) and go to Trent’s Treat or Treat party.
(The concept is fairly simple: no jokes, no tricks, just treats. Candies or alcoholic jelly shots.)
And the following day can be spent with Kurt, behind closed curtains, just the two of them in the comfort of Kurt’s apartment.
That’s his way of finding a middle ground.
That being said, all of his carefully laid plans fly out of the window faster than Kurt in his bat form when he opens the door of said apartment.
Because Kurt?
Kurt “Halloween is a capitalist shitshow that has lost all meaning and turns me and my kind into costumes, talk about cultural appropriation, Kurt?
Kurt is dressed up.
Granted, he is dressed as Dracula, so, not that big of a stretch, but …
“Wow.”
“Welcome to my lair,” Kurt says in his deepest voice.
(Cheater, Blaine thinks. Kurt knows how his lower register affects Blaine.)
“What is this?” Blaine asks, removing his coat and scarf. “I thought--”
“Make yourself at home, my dear,” Kurt continues, pulling up a chair at the dining table. That’s only then that Blaine notices the beautiful table set for two. He smothers a laugh when he recognizes the plates as the ones belonging to their elderly neighbor, Ms. Roux, but he manages to keep a straight face.
“You prepared all this? Aww, Kurt …”
“Who is this Kurt? I am Dracula.”
“Of course, of course, what was I thinking. Does that make me Lisa Tepes or …?”
“That makes you my beloved human,” Kurt says, using his powers to suddenly appear behind Blaine and kiss his cheek.
Blaine melts into the embrace with a sigh.
“My vampire.”
“Yours.”
“Does that mean that you will come with me to Trent’s party?”
Kurt turns Blaine so that he is facing him, eyes glowing in the soft light of the candles. “We’ll see if you still want to go once I’m done with you, dearest.”
Blaine is torn between arousal and primal fear in front of a predator. “And what is--what’s your plan?”
“First, serve you dinner, of course.”
“Of course.”
“And then have you for dinner.”
“Ah.”
Kurt’s eyes return to their natural color and he bites on his lower lip.
(The fangs really have no right to look as cute as they do in that moment.)
“Is that--I know you already said that you were fine with me, um, biting you and feeding from you, but is it …” Kurt sighs and closes his eyes, composing himself. “Do I have your formal consent?”
“Enthusiastically yes, my dear immortal.”
Kurt beams at Blaine and pulls him into a thankfully fangless kiss.
“So, you said something about serving me dinner?”
Kurt returns to his Dracula role. “Da, my beloved. Please take a seat while I fetch it.”
In a flutter of his wig and cape, Kurt dances to the kitchen and comes back with a plate that he hides behind said cape.
“Ta-daaa.”
“Um, Count?”
“Yesss?”
“Care to describe the menu?”
“Beetroot pasta and wine.”
“Ah, beetroot. Okay.”
“Ah! And little mozzarella bats.”
Blaine chuckles. “That’s adorable.”
“I am not adorable,” Kurt retorts, squinting at Blaine. “I am--”
“Count Dracula, I know.”
“I am the Night!”
“Oooh, right, that too. I am suitably scared, your infinite darkness.”
Kurt leans closer to peck Blaine’s lips. “Perfect then.”
Blaine raises his glass. “To your cooking talent, my night prince. And to Halloween.”
Kurt sighs, raising his own glass. “If we must--to Halloween.”
Thirty-year-old Blaine Anderson is an ordinary man who maintains an ordinary life at an ordinary college, earning his doctorate in history and living in an ordinary house near campus that he bought with his extraordinary inheritance. He most definitely did not find something strange and wonderful a few months ago that he keeps hidden away. Nor does he have any idea that visiting a local “haunted house” with his best friend will change his life on an ordinary Saturday evening in October.
Vampire Kurt. Human Blaine. A love that defies time.

“My heart is full. Reading Madame Moonstone columns and spending so much time with Alex and Tess. And journal time. I need cuddles and sleep. Are you… Can you feed off me? Or…?” Blaine asks cautiously.
Kurt leans over and kisses his cheek. “Yeah. Just a bit to help you sleep. Who knew you would turn out to be such a venom junkie?”
Blaine laughs and shrugs. “I love how it stings.”
“I know you do,” Kurt says softly. “After what happened last night, I think we need to take it easy for a few days, but I can manage if we aren’t [...]”

so let’s turn on the heat... we definitely won’t regret this
it doesn’t matter how good kurt’s banana cream pie is, tina’s constitution can’t handle it
also when sims are sad, they pick at their food, i love it
kurt doesn’t have that issue
bonus jonas mercedes
kurt DOES however get sad sometimes
this shit really is like glee bc they never stop serenading each other
i wish finn would stop flirting with blaine RIGHT IN FRONT of kurt
that bite on finn’s neck from tina, she was thirsty and did it herself
speaking of which, i put the sim info mod back in my game since i saw it was updated and i wanted to check on some hidden traits and i found out some things. they’re all right handed, i wonder how rare left handed sims are? i haven’t researched. tina is the only one who likes fruitcake. gender preference is changed by who the sims interact with romantically
quinn preference: 0.0 male 100.0 female
mike 30.0 male 0.0 female
mercedes 10.0 male 55.0 female
finn 100.0 male 5.0 female
tina 15.0 male 5.0 female
kurt, blaine, and santana are all gay
in summary, these sims just wanna be gay! the only ones i do romance actions with are kurt and blaine and i actually actively try to stop any romance actions from anyone else usually bc i’m not trying to make them all jealous of each other all the time lol, as you can see, i usually can’t get to them in time.
i found the cure for vampirism in kurt’s inventory (the one on the right) which is wild because no one made it, you need 10 garlic, 10 wolfsbane, and 10 plasma fruit... and then it disappeared? i have no idea what that was about. maybe kurt’s trying to tell me he’s ready to be human again lol
mlm/wlw solidarity
so yeah people were not loving kurt’s hissing...
he and blaine went from soulmates to sweethearts because of it
he was driving his friends away so much that tina made him a reconfiguration drink so he could pick new weaknesses lmao
that’s his hungy face
the sound that happens when someone drinks plasma is horrible lol it did NOT make that sound in ts3
eventually you gotta push kurt off
kurt’s fave victim. tina, unfortunately doesn’t have a favorite. but who knows, maybe it’s kurt and i won’t know until i cure him and let her drink?
remember when i talked about not regretting putting on the heat? i mean... i know i’m paying so my sims don’t freeze to death but $70000 is a bit much for a week
blaine definitely doesn’t look unhappy about woohooing in the observatory
santana uses it for other things
kurt, you can be as careful as want, you’re still gonna fall 20 times if there’s a blizzard
...inflation, right?
vampires can go outside in the snow, i bet the line is drawn at sunsnow tho lol. kurt and mercedes’ snowman didn’t look great...
but mike’s was dope. is that kurt’s scarf?
i gotta get tina some more power points and level her up so she can get some more powers, rn she doesn’t have too many options... so bring on the vampiric sparring
this is what kurt’s relationship to tina looks like, because he was the one who turned her
while blaine being playful is just a few steps away from dying of laughter and i have to calm him down in the mirror to avoid him becoming hysterical...
for tina and kurt it’s no issue! vampires are immune to emotional deaths which is cool bc they make me anxious. so tina can get as angry as she wants without dying, and kurt won’t suffer “ultimate mortification” if he pees himself in public (he’s actually the only one of my sims who’s done that...)
kurt’s having a great time living the vampire lifestyle
blaine you had to know that eating kurt’s plasma fruit salad was not gonna go good
he goes outside to talk to the plants and immediately regrets his decision (the sun, kurt. remember?)
here he is sparkin even after he came inside
this is when he went outside and almost killed himself without me knowing because apparently even tho it was night time, the sun was still out. everyone in the house has a death flower jic so someone would’ve saved him but he was one sec from dying and i wouldn’t have noticed until it did the “death zoom”
finally.
she lied about “bad plasma”
bye
very disappointing 2 me but i’m not above cheating
blaine loves his vampire bf very much
who made this mess??
kurt’s trying to be a good gentle vampo
here’s tina asking kurt to turn her
kurt tried everyone’s plasma at one point, i really wanted to see if he had any other faves (nope, just finn) i want 2 see who tina prefers to drink from
soon we’ll really get into the power aspect
i made her eyes purple for some variety in my vampires but i’ll probably change it to red
i should’ve known that kurt would start showing off his powers
they had a “vampiric spar” and tina melted kurt’s ass and if you’re wondering if kurt acted like a big drama queen about it...
