A whole year.... that's how long the Vampire and Priest have been living together.
With only one rule.... "Don't turn the Priest." Because Tom has a coven, a collection of humans who he turned into vampires. A sire to them. And Lo, Frankly, doesn't want to join them.
He runs a church in the woods, down the way from a large cathedral - where Tom's coven is located.
There's lots of speculation on how Humans become vampires, but the most common (and most used) is draining the human, then feeding the dying light the blood of a vampire. Lo, being the kind man he is, Allows Tom to feed from him.
Which leads us to here...
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease~?" The vampire begged, wrapping his arms around the priest from behind...
"Careful of the rosary." Lo said with a soft chuckle. Tom pouted, Nuzzling his nose into Lo's shoulder. "I wanna-"
"you can want in one hand..."
"but you're a Priest! What happened to Love thy neighbour?"
"you're not my neighbour-"
Before Lo could finish, Tom pressed his Lips to Lo's. The priest's eyes widened, he squirmed against the Vampire's grasp, his tongue accidentally caught on his fangs... Tom tasted that sweet... holy.... Blood. He loved it.
Lo, Meanwhile, Was a little troubled. He was happy being kissed, he wasn't happy with the blood he could taste... eventually, Tom pulled away. "See? Not so hard, is it?"
"Dont... do that again... what if you'd accidentally caught yourself?"
Tom blinks a few times... "aweee but you'd be my favourite... My adorable little priest at my knees... Worshiping me..." He said, nuzzling Lo like a stray kitty.
"oh Tom... the only way I'll be on my knees for you is if you do something worthy of it. If I recall, you're wearing a turtleneck today because of what I did to you last night." Lo chuckled deeply, his eyes narrowing. And dear god... he looked beautiful, the soft pale skin gently illuminated by the subtle moonlight through the stained glass windows of the church, his narrowed gaze, the smirk he wears...
Tom felt his knees weaken.
"damn you! I am not a bottom! I just let you do that because I'm so kind, underneath that rosary and jacket, you're not so holy yourself!" Tom bit back.
Lo sighed and smiled.
"all the scratches I assume? Well, if my memory serves me correctly, then it's because you were trying to find ground while I f-" Before Lo could finish his recount of last night's events, Tom pressed a hand to his mouth. "Listen! I'm a Vampire Lord, no one needs to hear the... Activities... We get up to being closed doors!"
"oh my dear, it's just us. And I'd love to do that to you again, you'll find it was such a Heavenly experience for the both of us..." Lo smirked. Tom sighed in defeat, peppering kisses along his Priest's neck. "Fine... Just a little. Don't kill me, dear." Lo smiled sweetly. Before biting his lip and Tom sank his teeth in. Lo hold him there, for a short time...
In that moment... it was Love. Tom wasn't focused on purely Blood in this moment, Tom focused On Lo. His eyes, his complection. The soft burn the Rosary has on his unholy skin... he doesn't care. He's happy.
He considered, for a time, turning Lo in his sleep. But would his priest ever forgive him? Would everyone else in his coven get jealous? Lo would be treated as Just another Vampire... not with the respect his holiness deserves. Is this relationship... good?
Lo provides comfort, shelter, an escape from his coven of over 30 people.
And what does Tom provide in return?
He will find a away to pay back his debt. No matter the cost.
