Summary: Jaehwan has a vampire kink and Taekwoon, like most Jaehwan related things, can’t take it seriously. Neither does anyone else.
No one is exactly sure where it began. Maybe it was that haunted house where the host at the door sported realistic fangs and contacts that made his eyes ice blue. Where Hakyeon cried while clinging so hard to Sanghyuk they both had to be carried out a side entrance. Taekwoon had looked clearly unimpressed, more concerned about what they were going to be having for dinner than what might pop out in the next room. Still Jaehwan hadn’t stopped pointing out every little thing that came at them as if everyone wasn’t seeing it for themselves.
It might have been the influence of watching every single Twilight movie in a row, dragging whatever other person didn’t have a schedule at the time along with him. Sanghyuk could quote every single one of Edward’s lines by the end of the week and greatly regretted ever mentioning vampires in Jaehwan’s vicinity. He’d gotten his revenge, or at least thought he had, by dragging Jaehwan to see Dracula Untold with him. He had to be physically restrained by Wonshik and Hongbin after the sixth time Jaehwan had told him to call him master.
It’s when all that lead up brings it to the point where even Hakyeon lets out a sound of disgust and leaves the room that it’s gone too far. He doesn’t want to hear anymore about Taekwoon’s milk white skin and dark hair are ever so vampiric. He turns Jaehwan towards the mentioned man every single time hoping Taekwoon will give him some of that tough love he’s known for. Instead he patiently reads a book as Jaehwan stretches his neck out next to him, offering and winking at him.
When those subtle invitations don’t get him noticed he goes just a bit further. Hongbin shakes his head as he follows Sanghyuk out, anything the outside world might have to offer is better than the play called desperation being showcased in the living room. Even Wonshik abandons his attempt at a fourth nap to run after the maknae line.
“Was that ketchup on his face?”
“Hyung, we don’t ask anything when it comes to that one. Remember the cat tail.” Wonshik’s brows furrow but the look of horror on Hongbin’s face makes him remember it. None of them had wanted to really know how Jaehwan got that cat tail to wag while he wore it.
“Taekwoon~~~” As usual there’s no answer but Jaehwan isn’t ever hindered by that. It only makes Taekwoon seem ever more the typical stoic vampire. “Taekwoonie, are you hungry? Did you feed today? You want to feed? Taekwoon! TAEKWOON!” A hand to the face leaves Jaehwan lying on the floor watching Taekwoon retreat into the kitchen. A different approach might be necessary.
“Rah, I want to suck your blood.” Taekwoon doesn’t look up from the book he’s reading as he yanks the plastic fangs out of Jaehwan’s mouth. Even wiping his fingers on the grey hoodie, that looks suspiciously like one he owns, that Jaehwan is wearing. “Oh no! How will I ever get sustenance now?”
“Taekwoon did…” Hakyeon doesn’t get to finish as Taekwoon grabs him by the arm and drags him towards the door. Pulling out Hakyeon’s sneakers as he slides his own feet into his boots by the door. Hakyeon wants to protest but Taekwoon actually wants to spend time with him so he just smiles and goes along with it.
Jaehwan stops gumming at his own wrist long enough to pout at the elders’ back as they exit the dorm. This certainly requires more research and by research he means watching Twilight at least three more times.
A week is the longest Jaehwan has ever clung to a single let’s try this Taekwoon moment but they’re already in week three at this point. Between watching Jaehwan drink cherry soda from a bottle labeled Type O, in front of fans, and having to clean body glitter off of every surface everyone has had enough. Hakyeon corners Taekwoon after practice which consisted of three hours of Jaehwan alternating between pretending to turn into a bat, complete with sonic noises, and claiming he had no reflection.
“This was a whole lot better when he thought you were the vampire and wanted you to bite him. Just bite him already so he can get back to normal. Well normal for Jaehwan. Our comeback is close.” Hakyeon’s grown used to Taekwoon’s unaffected reactions so when the other sighs he’s not sure how to respond. “Taekwoon?”
“Why does he need try all these kinks?” The am I not satisfying him goes unspoken, Hakyeon is well versed in the elusive language of Taekwoon. He wrinkles his nose, not really wanting to get into talk about Taekwoon and Jaehwan’s sex lives. He’s still not entirely comfortable with the idea of them dating when his own advances on Taekwoon had been rejected with we make better friends. Though Taekwoon was right, Hakyeon could never be happy with someone that doesn’t constantly bathe him with affection.
“Am I the person you should be asking that to?” Taekwoon is the one to wrinkle his nose now. Hakyeon opens his mouth to say more but there’s a distinctly Taekwoon patterned shape missing in front of him. “At least let me give the good older male to older male advice before you run off!”
“Only by like a month. Get over it, hyung.” Sanghyuk feels the karate chop to his neck double, taking the pain for his own sass and Taekwoon’s too.
Everyone is kind enough to leave them alone for the night, more getting the message when Hakyeon closes the door after only Jaehwan and Taekwoon get off the van in front of the dorm. At least they’ll get ice cream out of the deal, Jaehwan pouts all the way upstairs at being denied the cold treat. Instead he gets the cold boyfriend ignoring him while they shower in separate bathrooms, sit on the couch and eventually Jaehwan starts to doze off.
“It’s stupid.” He’s almost in dreamland when Taekwoon’s small voice makes him stir and turn his drowsy gaze on him. Taekwoon’s ears are red and his lips are pressed into a small line, his hands pulling on the hem of his finally returned back to him grey hoodie. “Cat boy fetish, food play, blindfold, vampire kink… why do we need to do any of that? Am I boring you?”
Jaehwan blinks at him, taking in Taekwoon’s stiff posture and lack of eye contact. He sits up straighter wanting to give Taekwoon just as much attention as he’s giving him but vampires that glitter in the sunlight, pointy teeth press on a long neck and rich baritones whispering unspeakable things are all that plays in his mind. He places a hand on Taekwoon’s cheek to turn his face towards him but Taekwoon’s eyes are downcast.
“We don’t need to do it but I just like to share things with you. I get a little over eager but it’s so cute Taekwoonie is so vanilla. I could never be bored with you.” He nuzzles Taekwoon’s neck delighting in the little shudder he feels run through the other. Jaehwan can feel Taekwoon’s pulse against his lips and places a kiss right against all that smooth skin exposed to him. “I feel like sharing quite a bit right now. The others won’t be back for a few hours.”
Jaehwan slips away from Taekwoon’s naked body concealed by a thin sheet. He collects the trail of clothes leading from the living room to the main bedroom, stopping in front of the window to stretch his arms above his head. Looking up at the moon with a slight grin on his face, fangs pressing down on his bottom lip. It feels so good letting them out after so long, almost as good as curling back up behind a softly breathing Taekwoon all flushed skin and damp with sweat. Two pin prick marks on his neck, Jaehwan is pretty sure Taekwoon will come around to that vampire kink soon. If not he’s got an eternity to grow accustomed to the idea.
