a/n: i had too much free time so this happened. mistakes are throughout the entire thing. sorry in advanced! this is a continuation from a prompt that I had worked on and I decided to explore the verse. There are quite a lot of vague things, i feel.
more of the verse:
addiction
The night was pretty bland - dry - dull, etcetera despite how lonesome he feels. Downing the fifth Jack and Coke he had ordered three minutes ago, Baekhyun tries to ignore the swarm of girls that were around him, trying their hardest to chatter him up. Normally Baekhyun would not turn down free meals but there was just something at the back of his mind that is nagging him to ignore these girls.
Thursdays used to be a monthly ‘family’ gathering for Baekhyun but ever since Minseok got his latest human - Baekhyun can never remember the human’s name - family gathering became a time for Minseok to teach his human the ways and lives of a vampire. It used to be pretty interesting watching the human squirm and let his curiosity run wild but whenever the elder and his human started acting all lovey-dovey with each other, Baekhyun’s dead heart just shrivel up some more.
That Thursday afternoon greeted Baekhyun with a certain nervousness that left him restless. So restless that Baekhyun had worried Minseok’s human which resulted in the elder throwing a mug at his head, ordering him to walk off his nervousness. If this was any other times, Baekhyun would have made some lewd jokes about his elder wanting to spend some alone time with his human but he simply left without any protests.
Running a hand through his nearly dyed black hair, Baekhyun licked his lips and he could hear rather than see how aroused the girl beside him was. It almosts disgusts Baekhyun at how easy these girls were. Almost. Just as Baekhyun was about to make his move - he could feel the crimson starting to appear - his dead heart thumped against his chest and Baekhyun gasps in pain.
“What the…” He muttered to himself as a frown appeared on his devastatingly handsome face. Shrugging it off, Baekhyun turns towards the bartender, mouth open to place his order when his dead heart thuds against his chest, making him cringe.
It normally takes a whole lot to make Baekhyun feel out of place but upon waking up that afternoon with an abundance of nervousness hanging about, Baekhyun feels that he rather be safe than sorry. Not fully knowing and understanding why he is feeling what he has been experiencing scares him just a little bit. But despite that, Baekhyun knows that he would not even be able to fully protect himself if he is ever attacked by unwanted species. Perhaps a visit to Yixing hyung’s and a good sleep would be enough, Baekhyun deliberates.
Just as Baekhyun is about to stand up from his stool and leave the rambunctious area, his heart beats once more and this time, instead of the painful sensation that comes with it, Baekhyun’s nose tingles. His eyes widen in surprise when he realizes what it was. He could feel his fangs extending and he nearly pricked his own lips in his haste of searching, wanting to desperately pinpoint the smell.
Two minutes after searching (almost frantically), Baekhyun’s eyes landed on a group of males that had entered the club, cheering loudly at the man in the middle. Right there and then, Baekhyun swore, he found the reason as to why his heart began to beat once more. Not wanting to ignore the pull, Baekhyun saunters over, far but close enough to eavesdrop. He needs to know more about this doe-eyed male.
“Is he still at it?” Minseok asks as he appeared beside Chanyeol who is snickering at how pathetic his fellow friend is. Chanyeol nods his head, eyes still fixated on Baekhyun who has his face buried in a pillow. “Baekhyun, if you are trying to suffocate yourself, you do know that won’t work right?” Minseok asks as he tries to approach the vampire.
A muffled sound resounded through the room.
Chanyeol rolls his eyes. “You need to lift your head from the pillow, Baek. We cannot understand you.” Minseok hums in agreement as he sits not far from where Baekhyun was facing the floor.
Baekhyun rolls himself onto his back and lets out a whine, making the two other vampires cringe. “He was just right there and you know what I said to him.” Baekhyun exclaims. Chanyeol opens his mouth to answer but Baekhyun beat him to the punch. “I said he looked like a dad!”
Minseok coughs, trying to cover his laughter. Baekhyun suddenly sits up, his normally styled hair is messy and all over the place. “And then when I was trying to explain how I actually did not mean to call him or his style - like a dad or old - I just made everything even worse.” He screeched before letting himself fall on the ground, not caring about how there is now a slight dent on the ground.
Chanyeol bursts out laughing.
Minseok shakes his head. “But Baekhyun, you are not one to give up like this.” Minseok points out which only earned another wail from Baekhyun who has his face planted on the ground. “What’s so different about this human?”
Chanyeol laughs once more when Baekhyun whimpers and curls up into a ball. “Baekhyun, you need to start acting your age.” Chanyeol states as he throws his plastic apple to Baekhyun’s head. “Hyung, apparently the human is his singer. What did that twilight actor named it as? La tua cantante?” He snickers when Baekhyun growled at him.
“My life is not a movie, Park Chanyeol, you dick.” Baekhyun frowns as he crawls over to where Minseok is sitting and leans against his legs. Minseok smiles to himself. Despite being old, Baekhyun acts like the youngest amongst all of them. Putting his hand on Baekhyun’s hair, he caresses the young man’s head.
“Why don’t you just start all over again?” Minseok asked. Baekhyun lifts up his head, putting his chin on Minseok’s knee, pouting slightly. “How did you think I managed to get Jongdae? I wooed him.” Minseok explained. “Perhaps you can start from the very beginning - when you see him, tell him you are sorry for calling out on his choice of clothes and then, I don’t know, offer him coffee or something.”
“Yeah, if worse comes to worse, you can always kidnap him and lock him up in the room upstairs!” Chanyeol giggles to himself. Chanyeol leaves the room with two bruises on the back of his head, courtesy of Minseok and Baekhyun.
Do Kyungsoo looks up from the report he is reading and his eyebrows furrow when he saw the man standing in front of him. “Are you stalking me.” He asks bluntly and the man in front of him shakes his head frantically, placing a tray filled with tarts and parfaits near his book. “What is this.” His eyes travelled to the tray and to the man in front of him.
Kyungsoo thinks it’s almost cute how the man, despite the odd aura he was giving off, is fidgeting about, fingers straightening his clothes every now and then. Almost. If it weren’t for the fact that this was the same person who had called him out on his fashion. Granted, Kyungsoo doesn’t really know how to dress to go to a club. He actually loathes going to a club because of how loud it normally is but somehow that night, not wanting to disappoint his fellow colleagues, Kyungsoo agreed to go to the club to celebrate his promotion. Safe to say, it was not the wisest decision he has ever made.
“Uh, my name is Baekhyun.” The man introduces himself. “Just in case you forgot that night. I mean, not that I am saying you should not forget my name because you can forget my name.” He rambles and Kyungsoo had to stop himself from laughing. Kyungsoo is actually a rather easy-going guy despite being quite aloof sometimes. Seeing as how this Baekhyun is willing to seek him out and to apologize, Kyungsoo cannot help but feel flatter. It also does not help that Baekhyun is extremely attractive and alluring. Not that Kyungsoo would admit this to anyone.
“You are rambling,” Kyungsoo points out and Baekhyun immediately shuts up, running a hand through his hair. “Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help me finish these all up?” Kyungsoo asks as he closes his book, putting it on the chair beside him.
Baekhyun beams at him and Kyungsoo feels warmth spreading through his body. He knows that he does not even have to look at the mirror to see how red he feels. Clearing his throat, Kyungsoo pushes the tray to the middle of the table and watches Baekhyun sitting in front of him. When Baekhyun smiles at him, Kyungsoo could not help but smile back.
The first time Baekhyun told Kyungsoo about what he really was, he had expected the younger one to call him crazy, smack him and flee, never to be seen again. But instead, Kyungsoo surprised him by snorting and rolling his eyes, wrapping his arms around Baekhyun’s body, ignoring how cold Baekhyun is. “You are dumb.”
“What.” Baekhyun gaped as he pulls away from the warm embrace. “Aren’t you supposed to punch me in the face, call me crazy and then run away?” He was befuddled and confused.
Kyungsoo frowns and roll his eyes. “You need to stop comparing your life to Twilight.” He pointed out. “Is this the reason why you have been ignoring my advances.” Kyungsoo pulled Baekhyun’s collars to make the older one face him. “Do you have any idea what you have put me through for these past two months!”
However out of all that Kyungsoo has said, the two things that ran through Baekhyun’s mind were: 1) Kyungsoo likes me and 2) Kyungsoo isn’t running away.
Kyungsoo wasn’t running away.
That is all that matters.
