"Looks like it's morning" Wooyoung's voice breaks the calming silence of the room. He angles his head to look at the window on the other side of the room. The sunlight that comes streaming in casted a pale yellow on their skin. "Lets get out of bed"

San whines and cuddled deeper into Wooyoung's side, burying his face in the  vampire's bare chest. "Mmm lets not" His voice comes out muffled. He wasn't sure if he was ready to leave only to be stared at by people like a criminal. He'd much rather stay here with Wooyoung, cuddling and making out.

Wooyoung just laughs at his pouty response but he wraps his arm around San's head, cuddling the male to his chest and getting even more comfortable in the sheets.

Suddenly a loud knock on their door causes them both to flinch and sit up abruptly. "San, it's me. Open up" It was Sehyoon's voice.

San blinks repeatedly at the door, glances at Wooyoung, then hastily grabs his shirt off the floor and slips it on since all he was wearing were his pants. He hops off the bed to pull the door open. "Hey.. Morning" San says warily, not sure if he was safe to even smile at the older male. But considering how he had spoke up in his favor last night I guess he probably does deserve a smile at the very least.

"Morning. I-" He pauses, a slightly troubled look on his face. He looked like he wanted to say something and San had a few guess what. But he was wrong because Sehyoon simply sighs deeply and looks back up at him. "Yunho's hunting group just returned. I thought maybe you'd want to see him"

San felt his heart skip a beat. Yunho. That's right, I'd forgotten...

"U-uh yeah. I'll find him in a second" San scratches the back of his head awkwardly. Sehyoon then nods curtly then turns to leave. "He's should be in the stable." Was all he said last before he walks off.

"Thank you" San calls to him causing him to pause. "For last night. I appreciate it" He doesn't say anything though and just continues walking but San was glad that he at least got to hear his words of gratitude.

He sighs, watching Sehyoon's retreating back, then he closes the door. "You ok?" Wooyoung asks from the bed, an empathetic look on his face.

San simply shrugs, eyes trained to the ground and lips in a side smile. When he looks up next Wooyoung was already right in front of him. "Lets go find this old friend of yours. Maybe I can finally meet him and ask him if you've always been shit at rock, paper, scissors" Wooyoung says cheerily while caressing San's cheek.

San's fakes gasps at him then lightly pushes him. "Oh go to hell" He says playfully and turns to leave the room.

Wooyoung's laughter fills the room and he rushes to grab his own top. "Hey, wait up!"

They arrive at the large stable, horses lined on either side in their individual stalls. There were a couple men inside tending to the horses most of which were likely just arriving from the hunt.

"San. Holy shit..." A voice calls from behind, causing San to quickly turn around. He locks eyes with the dark blue of Leonidas, his childhood friend.

"Leo?" San slowly beams brightly at his friend's smiling face. Leo, who was holding a bucket in one hand and water hose in the other, tosses both objects in his hands to the side and rushes to San. He picks the male up in a tight hug, spinning him around and San laughs while hugging him just as tightly, his arms wrapped around the drow's neck.

The newcomer, like all the other drows, had platinum white hair but his was cropped short. Pointy tapered ears and pale skin. His eyes a deep blue. White brows thick and lashes long. He stood a few inches taller than both San and Wooyoung.

"H-how are you here right now? I mean Ioda told us at the gate but I wouldn't believe it till I saw you with my own eyes.." He spoke in drowic, holding San on both sides of his face and squeezing his cheeks like he always used to do when they were younger. San couldn't do anything else but smile.

"It's a long story" San says with a sigh.

"No shit. You're a vampire now. What the hell happened to you all these years?" Leo runs his hands through the boy's hair, observing his black hair and the awkward white strand of hair that stood out on his head.

Wooyoung just stood to the side and watched them. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes ever so slightly at the way this Leo person was being awfully hands on with San. He kicks himself at soon as he catches himself and realized what he was thinking. They're just friends and haven't seen in a long time, calm down.

"Like I said... long story" San says with a weak smile then takes Leo's hands and clasps it between his.

Wooyoung clears his throat loudly behind San to make his presence known. San, remembering Wooyoung was also there, quickly turns around and takes the prince's hand. "Oh right, Leo this is Wooyoung. My... boyfriend" San says 'boyfriend' with a burning blush on his cheeks. That was the first time he'd ever said that out loud. Wooyoung caught how flustered he became and he fought back a smile. He knew he'd have to tease him about it later.

"And Wooyoung this is Leonidas. He's my-"

"Ex boyfriend" Leo cuts him off with a playful smirk and San flicks his head causing the taller male to laugh.

"Shut up, I see you're still as annoying as ever"

Wooyoung watches as San and Leo laughs together as though the world was moving in slow motion. Ex... boyfriend...? No wonder they were so touchy. Look at how hard he makes San laugh. It's obvious they have history. He thinks to himself at he watches San's laughing face. I wonder if they used to kiss. Or have sex... oh god.. of course they did all that. They literally dated. Just the thought of someone else even so much at looking at San in that way makes my blood boil.

His thoughts get disrupted when San looks at him and the drow's smiley expression slowly drops when he took in Wooyoung's unhappy one. "You ok?" San asks with a fading smile.

"Yeah" Wooyoung smiles forcefully and nods a little too hastily and San knew he was lying right away. But he drops it knowing Wooyoung's personality and how stubborn he is.

"Are you hungry? We should totally go to Bergeth's food place and get some good meat like we used to" Leo speaks to San once again, touching his arm and redirecting his attention.

San couldn't help but smile at his suggestion but he slowly remembered that he couldn't eat meat or really anything besides blood. "I'd love to... but I can't. Part vampire now, remember?"

A look of realization dawns on Leo. "Ah.. yeah that's right" He chuckles.

"But we should definitely do something later. I missed you" San pouts cutely and Leo laughs and ruffles his hair.

"I missed you too, peanut" He jokes.

"You can't keep using that nickname, I'm almost as tall as you now" San whines, smacking his arm away. "Anyways have you seen Yunho?"

"Oh he left hours earlier than the rest of the group. Said he was getting his usual headaches again so Apollo let him go back alone. Did you not see him yet?" Leo cocks his head to the side in confusion.

San's brows furrow. "Sehyoon just told us that his group was back so we assumed..." He trails off and looks back at Wooyoung who just had a blank look on his face. He turns back to the tall drow. "And what do mean his usual headaches?" What's going on here?

"Well ever since Sehyoon rescued him from the vampires he's been having nightmares nearly every night and painful migraines at random times throughout the day. The witch doctor found a way to lessen it for a while but I feel like it's getting worse again" He says solemnly. "We're all worried and helpless. Whatever they did to him, there's no resource that we have that can undo it"

San clenches his jaw and takes in a deep breath through his nose. "I'm gonna go find him" He says and quickly turns to leave the stable. Wooyoung hurries after him, glancing back at Leo once.

"What do you mean you can't find him?" Sehyoon asks with a raised brow as he looks up from the sword he was cleaning at the town's weaponry.

"We just came from the stables and they said he should've been back by himself hours ago" San says, voice laced with worry.

This response causes Sehyoon to sit up with panic. "What?" He immediately tosses the dirty rag to the side and prepared to walk out of the tent.

Just then, someone comes storming in catching them by surprise. A soldier. "I apologize for the disturbance. There's a vampire at the front gates. He claims his brother is here and demands to see him"

Wooyoung and San look at each out, slightly confused then it dawned on them. Wooyoung's eyes slowly widens. Hongjoong...

"Let him in!" Wooyoung immediately steps forward and Sehyoon glares at him. "It has to be Hongjoong, let him in" Wooyoung rephrased, meeting Sehyoon's eyes fearlessly.

"I don't think so-" The drow starts but San halts him by holding his arm back and giving him a silent pleading look. Sehyoon watches the younger male for what felt like forever then he caves and sighs loudly.

"You heard him.. let him in" He says to the soldier. "And make sure he's handcuffed and escorted by at least 3 men" He quickly adds.

The man nods and turns to leave. Wooyoung, who was smiling, couldn't help but scowl a bit at that last part. But he's glad because he'd get to see his older brother again.
