Making way for a new beginning... Who: Percy and Alex and OPEN Where: One of London's parks When: 11pm, Monday
They stared at each other for a long time, the darkness of the park insulating them from the world, stretching between them like an impregnable barrier. Alex could only imagine what his sire was thinking as the dark vampire glared with unforgiving malice, standing tall and resolute in some stubborn resolve to not be the first to acknowledge the other. It was, in truth, typical behavior for Percy. The cryptic vampire was more aloof in nature than most creatures in the world, thriving on the sheer loneliness of his world instead of mourning its emptiness. It was what made him, gave him mystic, and the whole world could see it as he walked through the doors and stood amidst a crowd.
When Percy turned to walk away, Alex turned to follow, chasing after his sire with a dark glint in his eyes as a smirk clearly visible on his features.
“Don’t wish to speak to me anymore. You chased me for a decade, and now you don’t wish to speak…I feel hurt, Percy.” Alex called out once he was close enough, reaching out to brush his fingers against his sire’s arm.
Percy paused to look at those fingers, before his eyes narrowed. “You are the last person I expected…”
“But here I am all the same, si?” Alex smiled, twisting about until he was standing before his sire with an affectionate smile. “Percy, you missed me. Say something nice…”
Percy scowled, pushing past the boy with a moody snarl and stalked on. Alex could only laugh as he turned about to follow Percy with a bounce in his step. “I went to China for a year, you know. It was quite the adventure. No one notices when you kill the poor in China. Hong Kong is so full of people, and they never know what to say to you. And they are so…needing to please. Very refreshing.”
“Why are you following me…”
“Because you are my sire,” Alex cooed, leaning in close to smile are his sire. “Because you think so well of me.”
Percy probably didn’t, but Alex didn’t let it stop him at all. He kept walking along with the other vampire, rambling on about the wide world he had explored and smiling when the older one finally stopped and looked at him. Really looked at him.
“You can stay, if that is what you came to ask.” Percy brushed a hand through his hair as he gazed at Alex, “you can sleep on the couch if you wan’.” But those were the only concessions he was giving.
“Excellent…” Alex said with a beaming smile, “very excellent.” Percy never could say no to him. Never…
