“You’ll be the first I call,” she mused, sitting next to him, she gently cupped her cup in her hands, taking a small sip, she hummed, closing her eyes. “You’re welcome,” she murmured, biting her lip she turned to look to him. “Sometimes I’m scared that it’s all too good to be true, that I’ll wake up and it wasn’t real,” she smiled to him. “But I am happy now he make it well worth the fight in my head and in my heart,” she murmured looking down. “If I were to die with anyone I’d want it to be him, as much as I wanted to believe that I was meant to be alone, he’s changed that in me, being alone isn’t what I want to do not now, not ever.” 

Theo glanced at Jett, then chuckled a bit. “I’ve experienced that,” he said. “But Pyxis isn’t like the type of men I spent time with, I think. You’ll be safe with him, I’m sure of it.” he smiled, then nodded excitedly. “Good! I think even for us, it’s not always good to go alone. I certainly couldn’t stand it. I hate being alone with my thoughts for too long.”

“I promise you that I won’t be out too late at night,the night is quite beautiful but I swear not to be out too long in it. I don’t even keep the cafe open that much longer after the sun sets. Yes there must be,but what?”

“I don’t know. I really haven’t figured this mystery out at all,” Theo said with a sigh. “I just want to help people who are suffering, but it’s hard to do when people think I’m the bad guy.” he shook his head. “Well, that’s alright. I’ll be alright. We’ll all be alright soon.”

“Arrested?” Xing looked at Theo in shock. “Why would they do that? They know you. Know that you would never even think about harming someone.” He placed his hand on top of Theo’s in hopes of offering some comfort. Deep down he knew though; they wanted someone to blame. Theo had been used as as scapegoat, hadn’t he? “You’ve already reached something great, Theo, whether you think so or not.” He almost could’ve laughed at Theo’s words if he wasn’t so agitated. Arrested yet still so optimistic… only Theo was capable of such a thing. “I hope it’s grown… I feel like it has.” He stared at Theo for a moment before cracking a small smile. “I love you,” he sighed as he began wiping away Theo’s tears. “I love you so much, Theo.”

“No one is really being trusted these days. It’s gotten too dangerous. They think Christopher Thorne has an accomplice, so they are looking for anyone being suspicious, you know?” Theo glanced down. “And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” he blinked and then chuckled a bit. “You think so?” he hummed. “What am I? What’s great about me?” he didn’t really mean for Xing to answer, it was more just him wondering out loud. He looked at Xing as he wiped away the tears and then smiled softly. “You do? You really do?” he leaned in to rest his forehead against Xing’s, closing his eyes. “How did I get so lucky? I don’t understand how someone as wonderful as you could love me. But I’m glad.”

missleciafinn:

“Yes really.”She said sadly. “I know,everybody is trying their best. I really hope so too,it makes me scared that there might be somebody out there that would make their words reality. I promise if I ever feel like I am in danger I will call you as quick as I can.”

He smiled, relief forming on his face when she said that. “Good,” he said. “And try not to go out too late at night. I know it’s beautiful out right now, but I worry that the bad guys might come out more often when it’s dark, you know? There must be a reason why we never see them.” he shrugged. “I don’t know.”

A smile slowly graced Dante’s face at Theo’s words, looking over to his friends with a soft look on his face. He could always rely on Theo to try and spread more positivity. “Well…” he started, quietly. “You’re not a monster, either, Theo.” He reminded him, nudging the vampire with his elbow. After that, he couldn’t help the grin that grew out over his face.

Theo looked at Dante, and then gave a small smile. “I’m not?” he shrugged, stuffing his hands into the warm pockets of his hoodie, even though it didn’t help the temperature of his hands at all. “My fangs and need to drink blood is usually enough for people to give me that title. But I thank you. I really hope I don’t act like one. I think I’ve improved a lot from my youth. I try to live a life where I don’t harm others.” he smiled when he saw Dante smile, because that made him feel good. “None of us are monsters. The only monsters in this town are the people actively hurting others, and even though it happens to be a witch...you know, it could have just as easily been a human. Humans cause so much more destruction than supernatural creatures. Don’t you think?”

missleciafinn:

“No I guess that you can’t.”She said softly as she looked at him once again. “That is terrible,I’ve had one or two people wanting to burn me at the stake,it’s scary. It really is difficult to fight something so dark.”

“Really?” Theo frowned. “I wish those sorts of threats wouldn’t be tolerated, but I know they can only do so much.” he sighed. “The police and hunters can’t stop every word that comes out of people’s mouths. We have to just...hope the threats are simply that, and people won’t act on them.” he looked at her. “If you need someone at your side to help keep you safe, I can be that person for you. Just call on me. I won’t let anyone even try to hurt you. You’re my friend.”

“I am fine right now, but if I ever do need you, I will call on you,” she nodded looking back to Lee with a soft smile. “I try not too, there are parts of me that still fear that he’ll get tired of me, I know it is just fear in my head, he does love me and I know it,” she poured the blood into two mugs. Walking towards Lee. “He is a good person, far too good for me most days, I just hope I make him happy enough. I love him so much more than I ever thought I would, and it grows each day.”

“Good,” Theo smiled and took the mug from her hand gratefully, even giving a small nod of his head to show it. “Thank you.” he sipped at it, sighing contently as the heavy taste settled on his tongue. This was just what he needed. “Yeah?” he smiled. “I’m really glad that you’re in love, Jett. And I’m glad Pyxis is in love, too. Even for vampires...I think it’s important to find someone to share our life with, even if it’s just part. People think we’re such monsters, that we could never find that sort of connection, but we do. It...let’s us hold onto something that’s bigger than ourselves. We’re often so used to isolating, you know?” he took another sip. “It’s better to die with someone holding your hand than to die alone.”

missleciafinn:

“I really do hope that it is the good ones that like to wander around,I would start to be scared if that wasn’t the case. I understand exactly what you mean, most of the people in the town are so good and it’s sad that we can’t live peacefully.”

“Well, I suppose you can never be too sure these days,” he admitted quietly. “But all I’ve run into are my friends, or sometimes an angry person who wants to throw holy water at me.” he shook his head. “I know they’re just afraid.” he looked at her. “This town is a good place, it’s just being taken over by an evil energy. I don’t know what else to do to fight it.”

A memory about a loved one, happy or sad:

“I feel like I have so many sad memories that I’d much rather talk about a happy one. I know this sounds simple but I remember my mother when things were really chaotic. Most of my siblings had gone to fight with resistance groups, or had been taken to work in factories so our house wouldn’t get taken away. I stayed alone and helped my mother all day. My favorite times with her was when we got home and she began to mend clothing. She’d sit in a corner of the room and she’d hum a song, and I’d sit next to her and help her fix things. I’d sing with her sometimes. She was so warm in those moments and even though I know she was afraid of losing all of her children in this terrible situation we were in, she was so strong. I’m ashamed of all the pain I must have caused her with my loss.”

A memory that gets their heart pounding:

“Mmmm. I think holding Xing’s hand for the first time was a really good memory. Or kissing him for the first time. That made my heart pound. Even being in his presence is enough to make me feel...so happy. My heart can’t help but swell with joy. Maybe he isn’t my first love, but he’s my only love. And I’d like to think his love is true. I can trust him. So, my heart pounds even now.”

Memory of a good deed:

“Oh! Well, another good deed I’ve done, not to brag but simply to tell, is I often go to the temple in town to help prepare it for anyone coming in to pray. I know I’m not a monk, or anything, but I’m still part of the religion and want to do whatever I’m permitted. I think it’s my duty to help those who protect the sanctity of our religious place, you know?”

A memory of a good deed they did:

“I don’t really believe in talking about my good deeds, because I don’t do them to gain any attention, but...I think in this town I have a done a lot of good deeds that I never was able to outside. The memory that comes to mind is making rounds to hand out blankets after the explosion in the town. I really did want to help everyone, and I hope it did some good.”

A sad memory that makes them cry:

“Whenever...I think about Bohai, it still hurts. The most vivid memory I have is him leaving. Which is strange, but...yeah, I hear him say so clearly that I’m bad luck, and then his back turns and he just...leaves. I know I have better things in my life now, but...god, it hurts still. Isn’t that strange?”

A memory that makes them feel angry:

“When two Japanese soldiers killed my older brother. I became so angry...I don’t even know what I was angry at. It was more than just the soldiers, it was everything. Why did we have to be poor? Why didn’t God care about my brother? Why did the Japanese landlord not do something to protect us? Why did Koreans have to be unimportant? I was young but I wasn’t stupid, you know? I have since forgiven those soldiers, I know they thought...what they were doing was right, but it does still anger me that my brother faced such injustice. I know he spoke out of line, but..why was there a line drawn to begin with? Were we not people, too? Ah...too many thoughts.”

“How could I forget,” she smirked, looking to him. “I would be bothered if I left you there, so count this as you doing me a favor,” she titled her head smiling to him. “I’m glad too, thank you, Theo,” pressing her lips to his cheek, she smiled a bit more. “I’m more than scared, but the good outweighs it, he’s sort of perfect,” she moved to the fridge, grabbing some blood. Moving to warm it.

“Oh, alright,” he smiled. “I’ll make sure to do a favor in return. Just tell me what you need from me.” he nodded as he watched her move around the kitchen area. “Don’t let fear rule your relationship, though. Pyxis is a very good person, I know you won’t have any troubles with him.”

pyxisv:

Pyxis merely mumbled an ‘alright’ as he waited for Theo to sit down. Once the vampire situated himself, he turned, facing Theo as he laid down and rested his head and shoulders in the other’s lap. “You can pet my head.” He said with a snort. “Tell anyone I let you, and you’re so dead.” The threat had no bite to it, Pyxis only sounded like he was teasing Theo. He let out a quiet sigh and looked up. “Me? … yeah, I’m fine.” He nodded slowly. “Not much to complain about when I’m safe in my own home.”

“I wouldn’t dare tell, but that threat is pretty weak, Pyxis. Considering how my circumstances already are,” Theo said with a smile as he pet Pyxis’ hair lightly. “Oh! It’s so soft.” he smiled contently and continued to pet him. “You are? Good. I’m really glad to hear that. I’ve been so worried about everyone and how they’re handling things, you know? It hasn’t been easy. I’ve felt very hopeless lately...so I don’t want others to feel that way, too.”

[theo-cheon-blog]

missleciafinn:

“I’m not to bothered by being out at night,I used to go for long walks at night back home.”She said before laughing softly. “They really do seem quite cautious,but thankfully it hasn’t been to bad,people still come in. It just has people on their toes,myself included,I mean it’s scary to think that somebody is still doing those bad things.”

“Yes, it seems that the good ones get to wander around at night, or...hopefully so,” Theo tilted his head. “It is scary. And...and good people are being blamed for the things going on. That scares me the most, you know?” he sighed. “I just want to live peacefully. I didn’t think that was such a big request.”

[blossomfully]

Finally, he said, “you know I love you right?“  And I said, “yes.” And he said, “and you know that I would never want to hurt you?” And I braced myself because no one ever says that unless they’re about to hurt you.

“Words, mostly.” Dante replied in a quiet voice, pushing his bottom lip out some. “We’re still humans, so they wouldn’t stoop low enough to kill their own kind… yet. So, usually they just say things that we’re like, turning on our own kind and joining these monsters, of whatever.”

“Mmm,” Theo hummed and leaned against Dante a bit, just wanting to be comforted by the presence of his friend. “Monsters...” the word always felt heavy on his tongue. He used to believe that, he used to hate himself for all the pain he caused, but he knew his own survival meant he had to do gruesome things. He was better now, living off of the blood bank contently, but the word still made him wonder if all humans ever saw when they saw him was a monster. “Well, you’re not a monster, Dante. They’re all mistaken. You’re a good person, and you take care of your birds and you’re humble. They’re all wrong.”

pyxisv:

Pyxis nodded his head. “Yep. Blissful solitude.” He said, dragging his feet over the rug as he flopped back down into the pile of blankets. He’d started to situate himself before pausing, looking up at Theo. Well… Theo had been through a bunch of shit that day. And it was Theo, it wasn’t like he would try anything. “Ah, sure,” Pyxis eventually said, pushing his arm out some to make an extra space to fit Theo. “But I’m laying on you.”

“It does seem to be really nice,” he said as he carefully settled in next to Pyxis, trying not to ruin the nest in anyway. He was skinny, though, and seemed to fold easily into place, relaxing with a sigh. “You can lay on me, that’s fine. I’ll rub your back, or something. I can braid hair really well, if you’re into that.” he chuckled softly and then closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to just calm his mind. It was definitely more peaceful in here. “You’re okay, aren’t you, Pyxis?” he really wanted to know that the people he cared for were okay.

Jett smirked back to Theo. “only to those I like,” she stated, giving him a soft wink. “Believe me, it will be very comfortable, better than a bench,” she hummed looking back to Theo. “We’re good, really good,” she smiled softly. Looking down she tried to hide the small grin of happiness from her face when she talked about Pyxis. “I’ve never really, been in love before, it’s sort of– great actually.”

“Oh, I know. I’ve been to your house before,” Theo said with a smile. “I wouldn’t be bothered just sitting on a bench, though. I was really okay.” he nodded. “Ahhh, I’m glad to hear that.” he blinked. “Never? Well, I guess you’re still young by vampire standards...but love is great. Scary and great. I’m glad you found your person, Jett.”
