Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

[ it feels like miles. her lids lower and she pulls in a quiet, shallow breath in anticipation; feels the warmth of it as his thumb finds her jaw and her gaze drops to his lips. (this is not what she should want, and it's happening.) she reaches for his chest and pushes herself up. it's all breath and his heartbeat suddenly, hunger and thirst beneath the surface, but she's better at differentiating and controlling it now. at least there's that. her hand reaches his collar, but she looks to his eyes once more, searching and wanting, before closing the space between them. ]

[And then there was nothing left but the contact. He's not sure how long this kiss actually lasted. He forgot his stopwatch today, but it feels like a lot of time ticks by as he feels the first gentle press of lips to when he pushes in further—instinctively deepening the kiss that shouldn't be happening. He's not sure when his other arm slid around her, pulling her closer, but it did and it is.

It's important to be convincing for the bots, right?]

[ elena's not sure how much time passes either. she only knows it's longer than it needs to be, that it's not for the bot's sake that moment he presses in and deepens it. it makes her gasp ever slightly, makes what still lingers between them brighten and become real. she loops an arm around his shoulders, lets him pull her closer, parts her lips to taste him, and rests a palm against his cheek.

she shouldn't be doing this, kissing sam - not like this. she gets lost to the feeling, to the desire, and it's not much longer after that she confuses it for a different kind of hunger for a few moments too long. viciousness blossoms, the desire to do something else drives her to panic. veins open under her eyes and she feels her fangs push out. breaking away from his mouth and pushing back from his chest inhumanly fast is all she can manage to protect him.

not knowing or understanding how she's reacting and feeling; wanting to devour him - it's horrifying, but not quite like him being able to see it plainly. ] I'm sorry, I'm sorry- [ her eyes drop to the pulse in his neck. she's not sure if she's sorry for acting this way in front of him, for being a vampire, or for wanting to bite him - because she still wants to. (and she would.) ]

[It's not fear that has him letting her go and pulling back even as she pushes him. It's instinct. It's about getting a little distance so he can...what? Pull out a blade? Attack her? Kill her? He can't do that either. Not to Elena. Not to another person he cares about. Or maybe it is fear and what really scares him is knowing he could. If he needed to...he could.

But he watches her—breathing a little heavier from the kiss and the adrenaline. She looks different. Less human. But that's still her voice calling out to him—apologizing even though she hasn't done anything. Yet?]

Elena? [He's following her gaze and has a pretty good idea of what she's looking at.] Come on, pull it together.

[ she's not thinking - she's imagining what it would be like to give in. her hand is still on his chest; it would just take a lunge. she hasn't - she's never - drank from someone before, and it's the most natural impulse and desire in the world. (she's terrified and terrified about how right it feels. she's a predator.)

blood fills her eyes and she finds sam's. she nearly lunges, but her hand is still against his chest. she can feel, hear, know his heart is beating, and he's telling her to pull it together. (he believes she's the kind of person who wouldn't do this.)

she wants his heart to keep beating.

(caroline told her when this happens, and it would, to keep breathing.) she breathes shakily, in and out, through her nose and out through her mouth; her lashes flutter. she nods as the blood retreats and the veins around her eyes fade; tears quickly replace them and her hand drops.

(she would have- she could have- she's capable of it.) ] I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

[There's definitely relief when her skin smooths out again and she looks like herself—her old self—her human self. It's short lived as the tears come instead.

There are mismatched instincts inside him. One to pull her close again and comfort her. Another to be the hunter he is, but doesn't want to think about where she's concerned. He fights off both of them. If their kiss brought that out then being close is the last place he should be right now. He still wants to soothe, but he needs to know more about what just happened.]

Do you...need to get to the blood shack?

[ blood. he wants to know if she needs blood, and it's the last thing she wants and the only she ever does. she turns away on shaky feet and takes a few steps, her hands no better as they push back her hair. a few tears fall as she blinks. ] No, I- [ but it's yes. yes, she needs blood. she wants it warm and alive and she needs the cheap imitation of it to make her feel like she doesn't want it from the vein. ] Yes, but I'm fine. I wanted to- [ hurt him. she can't finish the sentence. she turns back to him, eyes downcast at first, her voice suddenly small. ] I didn't hurt you? [ she looks him over - sees he's okay. she wants to touch him again to know it. she can't possibly imagine if he would want that, and she's terrified at the moment to reach out. ]

	[He shakes his head slowly.] I'm fine. [Physically fine. This was a harsh, and probably necessary reminder of the stakes here, but he's still not attacking or pulling away.] Are you okay? [He can see she feels badly about it, but is she in control?] I know what it's like to have a craving... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he knows. of course he would know. she eyes skirt away from his because she still feels alone in this, still frightened and alone and this isn't what she wants. (she can't think of the still-present desire to tear into his throat. she can't think of wanting to stay and listen to his understanding.) she's not okay. ] I think I have to go.

	[A slow nod.] Okay. [He can understand her wanting to put distance between herself and temptation. But he isn't just worried about her or even himself. He doesn't want her out there deciding to feed on the next person she finds.] But if... Call me if you need... [Help? Stopping? A sponsor?] anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she's less worried now about being tempted - more fearful of it. more afraid of what she was capable of moments before. she doesn't want to hurt him anymore; she doesn't want to feed from him. (she's only thirsty and ashamed and fearful.)

her eyes fall to his neck but it's with tears in her eyes. he wants her to call him: the reasons are clear. if this happens again, if she wants to feed, if she needs anything. ] Okay. [ it's because he cares, she knows. she clings to that. but at the moment, all she does is go home - chancing anyone sees her, for a spell moving as quickly as she can. she's a blur and then she's gone. ]
