Chapter 1: Save Me

Chapter Text

Heavy breathing as adrenaline coursed through his veins. He felt like his lungs rapidly working to supply him with air that he badly needs. He's tired but he kept going. He kept propelling himself forward, one foot after another even when he felt like his calves were burning. He made a sharp turn at the corner of the next street only to find that he was trapped, there is nowhere else to go and now he's cornered. It wasn't a street that he made a turn to, it was an alleyway and he's royally fucked.

 

He stopped in his tracks as heavy footsteps followed closely behind and then it came to a stop.

 

"Fuck! You're really not making this easy, huh?" The man wearing all black and with a bulky figure said.

 

"I told you, I will pay you off. You just need to give me time." He answered, his voice still unsteady with all the running he did..

 

"We've been going around in circles; it's been two years. I have other uses of my money so give it back now." The man replied.

 

"It wasn't even my debt to begin with! Why are you after me?!" Vel, the young man being chased, couldn't help but yell. He's mad, he's frustrated, he's exhausted and he might not let anyone know it, but he's scared. 

 

For years, he's been chased by a group of people for a debt that wasn't even his. When he was younger, he lived a good life. He did not have to worry about anything at all and all his basic needs are being provided by his father. Soon, when his father passed away, he would be devastated to know that his father has tons of debts. Every asset that was left under his name, he sold to pay off those debts one by one, but it wasn't enough. The most persistent one is this group of loan sharks. They are known to be brutal, and they will get every single penny you owe them. So, for two years, Vel has been working nonstop to pay off the debt gradually. There was a point when he was working three jobs just so he could also pay for his basic needs. But it wasn't enough. He was only able to pay off the interest and the loan sharks got impatient as the days went by. They would even show up to his workplace to cause scenes and would often result in him getting fired.

 

"You already know the answer to that." The man stepped closer while Vel took a step backwards.

 

"You know what.. If you aren't so stubborn, your debt would've been wiped off completely. You know what you have to do." The man added with a disgusting grin on his face.

 

"Shut up! I would never sell my body to you or to any of you." Vel moved back some more until his back hit the wall. 

 

Meanwhile, the group of men were moving closer and closer. Vel could only close his eyes and hope that this was all just a dream.

 

"Oh, sorry." A deep unfamiliar voice suddenly said. All the men that were crowding Vel got the mystery man's attention.

 

"Sorry for interrupting. I think I got lost." The man added.

 

He's just standing there, looking at them. He wasn't glaring but his eyes are sharp enough that you know this person is not actually that naive to get lost into an alleyway. The mysterious man is tall with broad shoulders, he's wearing a black leather jacket with some prints on it and a black shirt inside as well. His pants and shoes are also all black. His dark hair is a mullet with his bangs being long enough to slightly cover the top of his eyes. Vel couldn't clearly see his face as it was slightly dark in the alleyway, with only a few streetlights and the moonlight being the source of light.

 

"Yeah, go away!" One of the men that has been following him yelled.

 

"May I ask for directions?" The man nonchalantly said, not to the person that yelled at him or the other men. He's clearly talking to Vel.

 

"Hey! Didn't you hear me?! Go away! This is none of your business!" 

 

But the mysterious man was unfazed, he walked straight to where the group of men were standing. Slowly taking his time with every step he takes. The men took it as a cue to attack. They all rushed to the mystery man, running at full speed, their fists ready to strike. There are about 7 men approaching him and even though Vel is relieved that the attention of these goons are now not on him, he's still worried about the mystery man. Sure, he's tall and has a nice body but the goons were bulkier and mostly more skilled in terms of fist fights. Who knows, maybe they even have weapons with them.

 

Vel was about to run after them to stop them, to help, to do anything as he didn't want a random stranger getting hurt just because he meddled with his business. 

 

"Stay there." The man's deep voice echoed in Vel's head. Was he imagining it?! He immediately looked at the mysterious man and he just gave him a small nod. Vel didn't know how or why but his body and mind seemed to be inclined in following the man's orders. So, he stayed where he's standing. 

 

He watched as the man single handedly fought against the group. In no time, all of the men dropped to the ground and all Vel could do was watch in awe. He did not even realise when the man grabbed his hand and pulled his arm to make a run for it. 

 

Maybe it was due to the exhaustion of running for what feels like hours even before meeting the stranger or maybe it was because all of the adrenaline and relief was crashing down his body, but Vel suddenly lost consciousness. Good thing the stranger was so quick to catch him.

 

Vel woke up in an unfamiliar place. He didn't know how much time had passed or what exactly happened. He vaguely remembers just running while the mysterious man that saved him from the loan sharks held him by the hand.

 

He slowly blinked his eyes open and rubbed them, but the place was dark. He can't see anything despite his efforts to try and adjust his sight. He immediately got up from what seemed to be a huge bed and tried to look around. He could see a small ray of light coming from outside the huge door. He didn't even have time to think when the door suddenly opened and in comes the same man that saved him.

 

"You are awake. How are you feeling?" The man asked.

 

"I'm.. I'm feeling alright. Where am I?" Vel asked, while looking around some more. This time, he can see better as the lights from the hallway poured into the room when the door was opened. Vel could see that the place is very huge. The room is easily the size of his apartment. The whole room is dark themed and decorated by what he assumed to be antiques. What got his attention the most is the huge chandelier hanging on the ceiling at the center of the room. It's black and the design is very intricate.

 

"You are at my home. I did not know where else to take you after you lose consciousness." The man replied.

 

"Ah, I see. Thank you for saving me earlier and I'm sorry for causing inconvenience." Vel sincerely said.

 

"You don't have to thank me. I saved you by accident." The man confessed.

 

"What? So, were you really getting lost then?" Vel asked.

 

"Yes, I was supposed to meet with a friend but got lost." The man answered truthfully. Vel couldn't help but burst out laughing. The stranger looked at him, slightly tilting his head, showing how confused he is.

 

"I'm sorry for laughing.. It's just that.. I really thought you were lying back there."

 

"Why would you think that?" 

 

Vel cleared his throat in an attempt to stop himself from laughing some more.

 

"Well, at first glance, you look like a cool person who knows what they're doing." Vel replied and the man only nodded.

 

"My name's Vel, by the way." 

 

The man only looked at him for a good minute before looking away and shaking his head.

 

"Vel, did you know that names hold power?" The man asked.

 

"What does that mean?" Vel asked in return, confused and curious.

 

"Nothing. I am Tin." The man, Tin, replied.

 

"If you are not hurt in any way, I can offer you food but would have to ask you to leave after." Tin added.

 

Vel was taken aback. Of course, he's not expecting the man to be all welcoming into his home, especially since he's a stranger, but still, he was surprised by the man's bluntness.

 

"Um.. Would it be too much if I asked to stay for a few days?" Vel asked and Tin was about to open his mouth to say something, but Vel continued.

 

"I still need a little time to think about what to do next or how to completely get away from those men."

 

Tin looked at him, clearly, he had a lot of questions.

 

"Um. Those men were loan sharks. They're after me for my father's debt."

 

Vel got up from the bed and approached Tin closer. He took his hand and held it.

 

"Please. Just a few days. I promise I won't be a burden. I can do some house chores in exchange. Please?" Vel pleaded.

 

Tin could only look away and sigh.

 

"Three days. That's all I can give you." Tin replied and Vel beamed.

 

"Really?! Thank you!" Vel replied, shaking Tin's hand excitedly.

 

"But.. You have to stick by the house rules.. I'll have Pon tell you all about it." Tin added.

 

"Yes. Of course, I will never break any rules while I stay here." Vel assured.

 

Tin took back his hand from Vel before turning to leave.

 

"You can go downstairs to eat. I have already asked Pon to prepare something for you."

 

With that, Tin left the room. As soon as he's out of sight, Vel sighed in relief. He can finally rest for a few days, without the fear of being chased after. That way, he can have more time to think about what he can do next.

 

"Well, I can't think well if I am hungry, and he said there's food ready so I might as well go and eat then." Vel said to no one in particular but himself.

 

He quickly got out of the room and made his way downstairs. He was careful with every step since he did not want to do anything stupid or break anything since all of the decorations in this house look so fancy and expensive.

 

"Hi there! You must be Tin's guest, yes?" An unfamiliar voice greeted as soon as he's on the last step of the stairs.

 

"Um, uh, yeah. I'm Vel." He replied, observing the other man.

 

He's wearing a white dress shirt and white trousers. He looks like he's in his early 20s, he looks so young.

 

"I'm Pon and Tin has instructed me to help you with anything and everything. I'm also tasked to tell you the house rules since you'll be staying here for a while."

 

"Yes, I'm gonna be in your care for a few days. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I will try to help in any way I can around here." Vel responded.

 

"You're a guest, you don't have to help with anything. You just have to follow some rules, but before I tell you all that, please follow me to the dining room." 

 

Vel nodded and walked behind Pon as he led the way to the dining room and boy what a HUGE dining room it was. In the middle, there is a very long dining table made of solid wood. Around it are chairs that look so heavy since they're also solid wood and there are about 20 seats. There's also another fancy looking chandelier at the center of the ceiling, just above the table. Just how many people live here?

 

"It's only Tin that's living in this house. I live in a small house at the back. It's still within the property but it's a separate house." Pon replied. Vel didn't realize he said that last thought of him out loud.

 

"Ah, sorry. It's just that this is the first time I'm seeing a dining room this big." Vel said, embarrassed.

 

"Don't worry. Please take a seat and eat." 

 

"Will Tin not eat with us? Will you be eating with me?" 

 

"I will eat with you, if you want. But Tin will not be eating with us. That's the first thing you must know if you're staying here for a few days. He won't be eating with you, so don't bother to ask him." Pon said in a very calm voice. 

 

Vel took a seat and Pon sat opposite him.

 

"Don't be shy. Just eat everything you want." Pon said, smiling for the first time.

 

It's a feast! He only ever remembers seeing this much food during holidays or when he works as a server in parties for the rich. Tin must really be loaded.

 

With no more exchanges of words, they both started eating and he was eating for real. He's like a savage just gobbling all the food he could put his hands on. He didn't realize how hungry he was until he started eating. Pon only watched him in awe.

 

"You can keep eating but I'm gonna start telling you the house rules." Pon started. With a mouthful, Vel could only nod.

 

"First and the most important one, do not go into Tin's room, not even near it, just do not go to that area entirely. Second, you must always stay inside your designated room as soon as the clock strikes 12 midnight. Next one, please wear only the provided clothes in your designated room if you want to go around the house. Lastly, don't bother Tin. If you need anything, you can come to me." 

 

Vel is so confused because all of the rules seem to have one point: Avoid Tin.

 

"I hope you can stick by these rules, so you can stay here peacefully. Tin usually doesn't allow guests here, so he must really see something in you to trust you to stay here. I hope you don't disappoint Tin." Pon added. Vel felt bad that he finds the rules weird especially since Tin is doing him a huge favor so whatever questions he has, he just pushed it down the drain and decided not to ask.

 

"Of course! I promise not to break these rules." Vel assured.

 

"Um, but can you tell Tin that I'm very thankful for letting me stay here." Vel added.

 

"No problem. He will know of your message to him." Pon replied.

 

The whole remaining time of their meal was spent in silence. No one dared to say anything else. As soon as they're done eating, Vel got up from his seat and tried to help clean up, but Pon only looked at him and shook his head, telling him no. 

 

“You can go back to your room.” Pon stated.

 

Vel did not argue, he immediately ran back to the room assigned for him. He turned on the lights this time, to see the room in full. Looking around, he realized that there is a bathroom attached to the room and a walk-in closet with lots of clothes. He looked at himself in the full body mirror and realized how filthy he looks now after all that running. He decided to take a bath. He slowly took off his dirty clothes and walked into the shower. As the water hit his body, thoughts started pouring in.

 

He thinks that usually, he would never trust anyone to the point of even asking them to let him stay in their home. Especially in this case, since he barely even talked to Tin. He couldn't even look at his face closely. Maybe he was just desperate and seeing as Tin saved him despite not knowing him made him feel like he could trust the man.

 

As he finished his bath, he quickly got out of the shower, covering himself with the towel that's readily available in the bathroom. He then went into the walk-in closet and tried to look at the clothes available but to his surprise, they're all long-sleeved clothes and turtlenecks. The only variation is the colors. There are white, black and grey options. That is very weird. Why does he have to be all covered up? He decided to just wear grey jogger pants and decided to forego wearing a top. He's staying in his room for now anyways. He will wear those clothes if he has to come out and roam around the house.

 

After that, he went straight to bed. He laid there comfortably, sighing to himself. He feels like he's going to get the best sleep of his life right now since he doesn't need to think about anything for now. After a few minutes, sleep took over his body and he's out for the whole night.

 

For the first day of his stay at Tin's house, he woke up to Pon already having prepared another feast of breakfast. He tried to help out again, but Pon told him off. So, he opted to go outside, to roam around the garden. There are a lot of variations of plants—flowering and not, around the house. If you look at the house from outside the gates, you will have a hard time to actually see the house even though it's massive because of all the plants and trees around it. It might also look like an abandoned home. That day, he never saw Tin, not even a glance. It's as if he's alone in the mansion since Pon only ever comes there during mealtimes to prepare food for him and clean up a little.

 

On the second day, Vel actually heard Tin's voice outside his room, he assumed he's talking to someone over the phone and was just passing by Vel's room. He did not even actually see him, and it would be weird if he suddenly opened the bedroom door just because he heard his voice, but Vel felt happy enough hearing his voice. Which later on, he realized, was such a weird feeling to be having.

 

On the third day, Vel asked Pon to tell Tin to please meet him in his room. He told him that since it would be his last day in the house, he wanted to talk to Tin to thank him personally. Pon told him it might be difficult, but he said he would still let Tin know about Vel's request.

 

So, when the evening came, Vel waited patiently in his room. He's hoping for Tin to show up. And hoping to actually have a conversation with him. It's already almost 11 in the evening but Vel still waited and waited and waited until there's a knock on his door.

 

He cleared his throat.

 

“Come in.” Vel said.

 

The door slowly opened and in came Tin. It was weird but suddenly, Vel's heart started pounding so hard. His room is very well lit right now, and he thinks it's the first time he's really looking at Tin's whole figure clearly, his face too. The man is absolutely gorgeous. His sharp eyes are piercing, as if he's studying Vel's whole being. His skin is pale but not looking sickly.

 

“You wanted to see me?” Tin asked, his voice still as deep as Vel remembers it.

 

“Y-yeah! I just want to talk to you.” Vel responded.

 

“About what?” Tin's voice is cold.

 

“I-I have been thinking.. I know this is supposed to be my last day here.. And it might sound like I'm being opportunistic but please let me stay here. I can work for you. I can help Pon with the housework or I can do anything you want me to do. If you have any job you can offer me. Please?” Vel started rambling.

 

Tin did not answer immediately then he sighed.

 

“Look, Vel. If I could, I would extend more help for you, but you really can't stay here any longer.” Tin said firmly. Vel would immediately grab his arm again.

 

“Please, Tin! If you live in this huge mansion, you probably need someone to do things for you right? I will work for it. I promise. Just please?” Vel begged more.

 

Tin tried to pull his arm away, but Vel held on tighter. He's just so desperate. He didn't want to go out there anymore and be chased after, constantly on edge thinking whether he'll have a next meal or where to find another job.

 

“I'm sorry but you really can't.” 

 

“Tin, please. Please!” Vel insisted.

 

“Vel. Let go.” Tin said in a voice lower than usual. Vel didn't know what happened, but he knew he didn't want to let go but his body was forced to let go and suddenly, he's weak on the knees. The next moment, he's kneeling on the floor.

 

“Don't make it harder than it already is, Vel. Just be a good boy and leave. You don't want to be here. Trust me.” Tin added while slowly sitting at the edge of the bed while Vel is still on the floor.

 

“I didn't want to do this but you're making it very hard for me right now.” Tin continued.

 

“W-What do you mean?” Vel managed to say. “What did you do to me?”

 

“I told you, Vel. Names are very powerful. They hold power over people, over humans like you.” Tin responded.

 

Humans? What does that mean? Why was he saying it as if he isn't human himself?

 

“I am not like you, Vel. You are right. I am not human.” Tin spoke, as if he's able to read Vel's thoughts.

 

“I have taken that part of your memory, but you were not imagining things when you heard me talk to you in your head in that alleyway.” Tin confessed.

 

“Wh-What are you?” Vel asked, scared.

 

“I'm Tin, but you already knew that. Do you want to know a secret? Well, you probably won't know this secret for long since once you decide to finally leave, that part of your memory would say goodbye as well.” Tin smirked.

 

“You know how you think you're sending messages to me through Pon? He actually did not have to tell me anything, I already know everything. What you're doing, what you're thinking, everything.” 

 

“What are you?!” Vel yelled this time, his voice trembling.

 

“You said you want to work for me? So let me tell you the only job I can offer.” 

 

Tin crossed his legs, still sitting on the bed.

 

“Vel, do you want to be my food supply? Will you let me feed from you? Anytime I want? However much I want?” Tin leaned closer to Vel who's still on the floor and whispered directly into his ear. That sent shivers down all over Vel's body.

 

Tin chuckled.

 

“That's a nice reaction, Vel.” Tin smugly said.

 

“I know you've been having thoughts about me. What was that you said to yourself the other day? Hmm, it's weird that only hearing my voice makes you happy?”

 

Vel couldn't help the full body blush upon hearing how Tin knew all this time about all the thoughts he's been having.

 

“I told you. You don't want to be here. I'm giving you the freedom to leave now. If you're still here by tomorrow, I would assume you agree to the only role I can offer you.”

 

With that, Tin got up from where he's seated and left the room. Vel was left there alone, still on the floor. His body is still trembling.

 

Food supply? Feed from me? What does that mean? Also, mind reading? Telepathy? What's all that?

 

His mind is working so hard right now to put the pieces together.

 

Does Pon know that Tin is not human? Is that why he's not staying in his house for longer than necessary? 

 

If Tin is not human, what is he? 

 

Pale skin, dark and sharp eyes. Only ever seen him at night. Feeding on humans. Has some sort of abilities.

 

There have been rumors going around but he thought it was stupid. Such things do not exist in real life. He thought it was just to scare children and teens from roaming around at night. Vampires. Yeah, no way they truly exist but rumor has it that one female student witnessed a vampire feeding on human blood at an alleyway while she was walking home one night.

 

That can't be Tin, right? Because why would he help him then? That time.. At the alleyway..

 

Curiosity got the best of Vel, so instead of running away and leaving that night, he stayed. He wanted to talk to Pon in the morning, to ask if he knew. Vel waited till sunrise, he couldn't sleep a wink. He just laid in bed, tossing and turning.

 

As soon as he heard the backdoor open, Vel rushed to Pon immediately.

 

“Pon!” He called out, a little louder than he intended. Pon was taken aback, surprised at the sudden yelling of his name.

 

“What is Vel? Something wrong?” Pon asked, managing to stay calm.

 

“Did you know?”

 

“Did I know what?” Pon is now confused.

 

“Did you know that Tin wasn't human?” Vel whispered.

 

“Ah. Then he must've already told you. So, you know that whispering is futile, right?” 

 

Vel felt dumb at that moment. Right! Tin can hear everything.

 

“So you knew?!” 

 

“Of course. Our family has been serving Tin throughout the centuries. I suppose he will just erase this part of your memory before you leave so there's no need to be so secretive.”

 

“C-Centuries?!!!” Vel exclaimed.

 

“Yes, do you not know that Vampires live for centuries on end?” 

 

“V-Vampire?!!!”

 

“Oh, I thought you knew that part. My bad. Well, yeah, Tin is a Vampire.”

 

“H-How are you okay with working for him?” Vel asked.

 

“How can I not be okay? It feeds my family, my family has been working for him for generations, he's kind to us, he's never harmed any of us and the work here is fairly easy.” Pon said calmly.

 

“He's.. he's never tried to consume your blood?”

 

“No. Never. He's never really interested in me like that. In fact, he's never had anyone since I was born, my father said even in his generation, Tin did not bring home anyone.” Pon responded.

 

“Like that? What do you mean like that?” 

 

“Oh. Did he ask to feed from you?” Pon asked back, smiling slightly. What is this dude smiling about?!

 

Vel couldn't help but blush though.

 

“Oh he did? Well, you'll probably figure out what I meant if you agreed to it then. I can't really say much anymore. I wanna keep my job.” 

 

“Oh, right. Before you could agree, you should at least have some idea what you're getting yourself into.” Pon suddenly said, like an afterthought.

 

“Will you tell me more?” Vel asked, hopeful.

 

“No, but you might have more information at the library.” Pon said.

 

Yes, this mansion has its own library. It was also a shock for him when he first stumbled upon the very well-kept and gigantic room. There are varieties of books that are organized according to their genre and in alphabetical order. He only looked around when he went in there and did not actually try to read anything. He's not fond of reading after all. But if that would give him answers to his questions, he would happily do so.

 

After spending more time with Pon to eat breakfast, Vel quickly went upstairs and into the library. He at least has some ideas what he needs to look for.

 

He spent almost the whole day in the library, only coming out when Pon called for him during lunch. The books only answered a few of his questions, he thinks it might not even be accurate because do the people writing those books even know what vampires are? Have they even met one? It could be all based on rumors or fictions.

 

It wasn't long before the sunset and the exact moment Vel read something that altered his brain chemistry. He didn't know what to make of it but his mind quickly brought him back to what Pon had previously said.

 

Does that mean? Does Tin really see him like that? But it doesn't make sense. He doesn't even look at his way. He noticed that much about Tin. He never makes eye contact when talking to him or just avoids looking at him entirely. The only time he ever really looked at him was that time when he revealed he wasn't human.

 

“Vel, it's dinner time.” Someone called from behind the closed doors of the library. But it wasn't Pon. Before Vel could even think what he should say or do next, the double doors suddenly opened.

 

“Tin…” Vel greeted.

 

“You're still here and it's dinner time. You should get your fill, you need it.” Tin replied.

 

He knew what that meant, well at least he thinks he knows after everything he had read.

 

“I-I will follow downstairs.” Vel answered.

 

“I won't eat with you. You already know that. You can go eat downstairs and meet me in my room at midnight.” Tin said, his voice cold but something about it made Vel's cheeks heat up. After saying that, Tin left the room and Vel immediately got up from where he's seated and went downstairs to eat with Pon.

 

The dinner was uneventful, but he could tell Pon was observing him. Maybe trying to see if he changed his mind about staying here or about agreeing to what Tin has asked of him.

 

After dinner, Vel went straight to his room to get ready. He's not sure for what but he took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes, the same ones that he always wears around the mansion— long-sleeved, turtleneck shirts. He took one last glance at the mirror before leaving his room and walking towards the direction of Tin's room. It's the first time he's ever come near this room and his heart is beating as if he just ran a marathon. 

 

He raised his hand to knock but before he could, the doors suddenly swung open. And there, inside the enormous room that he's seeing for the first time, is an equally huge bed at the center. Tin is sitting at the edge.

 

Vel quietly and slowly walked into the room and as soon he entered, the double doors shut close.

 

“You really came to see me, even knowing what it meant. You have read about it right?” Tin asked.

 

Vel looked at Tin, studying his figure. He's now wearing a black hoodie inside a black jacket. Vel gulped. 

 

This man always looks stunning.

 

“Well, thank you, Vel.” Tin suddenly said, a smug smile on his face.

 

Shit! That's right, he can hear my thoughts.

 

“That's right, Vel. That's why I know everything you know from the books you've read. And I know you read about the part of feeding from humans.”

 

Vel could only nod.

 

“Then, I assume that since you came here, you agree to it.” Tin inquired.

 

“But… can I..can I ask you a few questions?” Vel asked.

 

“Of course, Vel.” Tin answered quickly.

 

“You're a vampire, correct?” Vel asked.

 

“Yes, that is correct.”

 

“Is that why I only ever see or hear you around the house at night?”

 

“No and yes. No because I know you're thinking I could only roam around at night because I can't be under the sunlight, but you are mistaken. Our species evolved and has already adapted to our environment. It means in order to live amongst humans, we have to adapt human characteristics. And yes, because I was just trying to avoid you.” Tin explained.

 

“Why were you trying to avoid me?”

 

“Vel, the first time I met you, you were parading that delectable neck of yours.” Tin said, eyeing Vel.

 

“Is-Is that why you made me wear these clothes?”

 

“That is correct. Even though I try to avoid you, I have to make sure that I do everything necessary to try and resist you.” Tin confessed.

 

“You're being awfully honest.” Vel observed.

 

“There is no point in lying or making excuses. You already know what I want, and you already know my intentions.” Tin said matter-of-factly.

 

Vel pondered for a moment about the thing he wants to ask next.

 

“It's okay. You can ask about it. If you really want to stay here, you don't have to be shy to ask about anything.” Tin reassured Vel.

 

“A-about the feeding from humans… Is.. Is it true that vampire bites produce…a..Aphrodisiac?” Vel finally asked, ears and face red from embarrassment.

 

Tin smiled.

 

“Yes, that is correct. It's to make the humans pliant and make it easier for us to make them feel relaxed.” Tin replied.

 

“Then…Then why did you want to feed from me? What does that supposed to mean?!”

 

“You already know the answer to that, Vel.” Tin suddenly got up from where he's seated and walked closer to Vel who's still standing by the doors.

 

“But I can say it out loud for you.” Tin said, reaching out his hand to Vel and holding his face. 

 

“I want you, Vel. The first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew I wanted you. I have lived for a long time, but never once did I ever feel that kind of pull towards anyone, let alone towards a human.”

 

Vel now has a full body blush, and he can feel the shiver running down his spine.

 

“So let me ask you one last time.. Are you willing to submit to me? Are you willing to be my food supply? Will you feed me? Will you give yourself to me?” Tin asked, his voice lower than usual yet it was warm and soothing.

 

“But.. you barely even know me.. I barely even know you.” Vel reasoned.

 

“It doesn't matter. We have a long time ahead of us to get to know each other. Just be honest, Vel.”

 

Vel closed his eyes for a moment before nodding.

 

“Use your words, pretty.” Tin said.

 

“Y-Yes. Please let me stay here with you. I-I will give you my trust.”  Vel finally said and Tin knew it was sincere. He can hear his inner thoughts after all.

 

All of Tin's control and the restraint he's been trying so hard to keep left his body and immediately pulled Vel closer, capturing his lips in his. It started soft, sweet but eventually turned hungry and greedy. Vel wrapped his arms around Tin's neck. Tin pulled Vel's left around his waist and Vel onto Tin's neck tighter, it was Tin's cue to pull his other leg and completely carry him. It shouldn't be a surprise really, knowing that vampires have special ability, but Vel still let out a surprised yelp. Tin only chuckled in between their kisses.

 

Tin walked towards the bed, carrying Vel. He pulled back from the kiss and broke contact when he placed Vel on top of the bed.

 

“Let's get that stupid shirt off you. I wanna see where I'm feeding from.” Tin whispered before ripping off Vel's entire shirt with his superhuman strength.

 

“What the hell?! Did you really have to ruin the shirt?” 

 

“Don't worry about that, we have plenty of the same shirt. You won't need them from now on though.” Tin said, smirking then he's all over Vel once again.
