"Damnit!" Remus growled as he pulled bbn at his hair. "He fucking got away!"
"Most likely they will be back in his house. We can go there," Logan explained as he drove back home. 
"We can't just storm into a vampires' house! He'll probably be waiting for us! He'll kill us as soon as we step into the house!" Remus yelled angrily. 
Patton winced. "But we don't know that for sure. He could have killed us when he grabbed Roman but he didn't."
Remus rolled his eyes. "Yeah, probably because he didn't want to get caught. He's probably luring us back into his hideout so he can suck all the blood from our bodies!" 
Patton's nose wrinkled in disgust. Janus groaned and buried his head in his hands. "Could you not describe these things in that much detail?" 
Remus frowned. "It's not even that much!" 
"Boys, enough." Patton sighed. "Let's just- give this guy a chance, okay? Roman really likes him." 
"But he's a vampire!" Remus exclaimed.
"Oh, yes. Do please burst my eardrums," Janus scowled as he plugged his ears. 
"Remus, please refrain from yelling. You're distracting me from driving," Logan said as he cast a quick glance to his boyfriend. Remus pouted. Logan sighed. "Look, I know you're worried about your brother. But we tried to get ahold of Peter Vincent and that didn't work. I think it's only fair to give this option a try." 
"But what if he-" 
"Remus, he has lived next to us for nearly a month now and Roman has spent multiple hours over there. This vampire has had plenty of opportunities to kill us for our blood. But he hasn't. He has chased after us because we took his boyfriend but he has not once tried to hurt us. He has not tried to cause an accident with us and he has shown no malice towards us. We should give him a chance." 
Remus crossed his arms. "But he could be acting." 
Logan sighed. "Yes, that's true but with the encounters we have had with him today, I believe he is harmless."
Remus' eyes blew wide. "HARMLESS?!?! HES A FUCKING VAMPIRE!"
"And there went my hearing," Janus groaned. There was no convincing Remus it seemed.

Roman happily cuddled Virgil in the vampires bedroom as they waited for his roommates to show back up. He nuzzled his nose into Virgil's neck while humming. "Virgil?" 
His boyfriend turned to face him. "Hhm?" 
Roman pressed a kiss to his boyfriends' neck. "Can you please bite me?" He whined. 
Virgil let out a shuddering breath. "Roman, stooooop." 
Roman grinned against the other's skin. "I don't hear a no." 
Virgil whined, his face red as he buried his face into his boyfriend's hair. "What if we get caught?" 
Roman's grin widened. "We can be quick. Just a quick bite and then we make out a bit before they get here."
Virgil groaned. "Your offer is very tempting….but," Virgil closed his eyes with a sigh. "Are you sure you're ready? I don't want to hurt you."
Roman sat up and positioned himself on Virgil's lap and stared down at the vampire seriously. "Virgil, I am 100% ready. If you asked me to marry you, right now, I would tell you that I'm ready. I'm ready, Virgil. I trust you. And I'm ready to prove it." 
Virgil blinked away tears. "Roman-" he choked. 
Roman took Virgil's face in his hands. "I love you, Virgil." He leaned forward and rested his forehead against the others'.
Virgil sighed. "Roman, I-" He stopped. It was silent for a few moments.
"It's okay. I understand if you're not there or you're not ready to say it yet. It's okay." 
Virgil shook his head. "No, that's not it. It's just- I didn't expect this. I love you, too." He smiled. "You're still sure you're ready?" 
Roman nodded. "Yes, Stormcloud, I'm ready." 
Virgil laughed softly and pressed a quick kiss to the others lips. "Where-" he flushed red with embarrassment. Relax, Virgil. You're just asking your boyfriend where he wants you to bite him. Virgil's blush deepened. That didn't make it any better! Oh my Selene this is too intimate! I'm going to die from this! 
Roman looked at Virgil smugly. "What was that?" He asked innocently. 
"Fuck you! You know what I'm trying to ask!" 
Roman paused and tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Hhm, I'm not quite sure I do. Could you help me out?" Virgil growled and opened his mouth to speak only for Roman to chuckle deeply and lean closer to him. "I think you know exactly where I want you to bite me. Here, let me help you." He laid his head on Virgil's shoulder revealing his neck for Virgil to bite. 
Virgil whined. "You're gonna be the death of me, Roman." 
Roman grinned. "You love me." 
Virgil sighed. "Yeah, I do." He held Roman' hand and leaned forward. Pressing a gentle kiss to the others neck he said, "Are you ready my Prince?" 
Roman suppressed a shudder. "Yeah," he said breathlessly.  
Virgil leaned forward and gently pierced the skin before beginning to draw in the red substance. Roman felt dizzy in all the right ways. He let go of Virgil's hand and wrapped his arms around the other as if that would hold him there. Virgil sighed and nuzzled the other's neck with his nose before licking the wound to reseal it. Roman giggled and let the other pull him into his embrace as he leaned back on the bed. 
They were silent for a few moments. Virgil slowly twisted his fingers through Roman's hair, playing with it to keep himself from panicking that he had somehow messed up and Roman didn't like him anymore. He tried to push those thoughts out of his head. "How are you feeling, Darling?" 
Roman smiled lazily. "Like I'm in heaven."
Virgil snorted. "Wow, even with a little bit of blood loss you're still a raging sap." 
Roman's smile widened into a grin. He pushed himself up and straddled Virgil's waist. "I believe I was promised a make out session." Virgil giggled and Roman swooped down to press their lips together, effectively stifling the vampire's laughter. Roman grinned. "You're so fucking adorable." 
Virgil smiled brightly up at him. "Not as adorable as you." 
"Why you-!" Roman exclaimed and tackled Virgil with more kisses. 
---------------
Remus pouted with his arms crossed as Logan reached forward and pressed the doorbell. The resulting sound rang out loudly throughout the house. The sound ended and the four young adults stood in an awkward silence for a few moments. 
"It's such a lovely house!" Patton exclaimed brightly in an attempt to break the icy tension that had settled between them all. Remus huffed. Janus rolled his eyes but held his tongue. Then the door opened. Remus gasped. 
"Roman! You're okay!" He grabbed his brother's arm and tried to pull him with him so they could run. Roman didn't budge. 
"Of course, I'm okay." He yanked his arm out of his brother's grip and stepped back. "Come on in. We have to talk." 
Remus frowned. "I don't understand. If he's threatening you or hurting you, then why haven't you told me? We can help!" 
Roman sighed. "I've already told you before Remus, he's not a monster. Come on and see for yourself." Remus folded his arms over his chest and stayed put.  Roman rolled his eyes. "Seriously?" 
Patton and Janus shared a glance before stepping forward and going inside. Logan watched Remus for a few moments before following them. Finally, Remus followed them after letting out a frustrated sigh. Roman closed the door once they all were inside and smiled uneasily at them. "Thank you. It really means a lot to me that you're willing to give him a chance." His brother scoffed. He sighed. "Follow me." 
Roman led the others into the living room where they found Virgil sitting on the floor and sorting through boxes. He looked up with a cautious smile. "Hello, its-" he paused and glanced at his position before jumping up and dusting imaginary dirt off his clothes. It was different actually talking to Roman's family considering all that had happened that day. But he still wanted to make a good impression on them. It was almost like he was meeting Roman's parents and that caused his anxiety to spike. "It's nice to meet you." 
Remus, Logan, and Janus stayed quiet while Patton smiled and responded. "It's nice to finally meet you! I'm Patton!" He held out a hand for Virgil to shake but Remus yanked it back. Patton frowned at him as hurt flashed across Virgil's eyes. It's not like he did anything wrong. 
Roman let out a frustrated sigh. "Come on, Remus. Give Virgil a chance and stop acting like he's a monster." Virgil flinched at the word and his boyfriend came over to him concerned. 
Remus let out a loud laugh. "You have got to be kidding me!" He flung a hand at Virgil. "He kidnapped you not even three hours ago!" 
Roman stared at his brother in shock. "No! He didn't! I left with him!" 
Remus opened his mouth to reply only to freeze as he noticed a fresh bite mark on his brother. He snapped with a growl and pulled out a dagger he had hidden on him when he first found out his brother was dating a vampire. He rushed propelled himself forward and buried the blade into Virgil's chest. He pulled it back out as he stepped back. 
Everyone froze. Virgil frowned as he looked down to find blood soaking through his shirt. He quickly became well aware that he hadn't had any blood since yesterday evening, aside from the small bit he took from Roman not too long ago. He didn't have enough blood at that moment to heal a wound of this size. He dropped to his knees. 
"Virgil!" Roman exclaimed and dropped down beside him. He pushed him back to lean against the couch as he inspected the wound only to blanch at the amount of blood soaking through the others shirt. "Oh my God! No! Wha?! Virgil what do I do?!?!?!" He pressed down on the wound as Virgil winced. 
"Remus! What the Fuck!" Janus yelled behind them as he pulled Patton into his embrace so the other could bury his face in his chest. 
Remus stared down at Virgil unsure. "I-I don't-" 
Virgil let out a ragged breath as Logan stepped forward with a towel he had found in the bathroom and handed it to Roman. "Here, press this down on the wound. I'll call the ambulance." 
"No!" Virgil shouted. 
Everyone stopped to stare at him. "I-stormcloud? Wha?" 
Virg coughed. "I-in my fridge downstairs, I need blood." He paused to draw in more breath. "I don't have enough to heal properly." 
Roman's eyes blew wide as Logan immediately ran to get the blood. "But, you just had some! I thought you were taking enough! Wha? Why didn't you take more?" 
"Didn't want to take too much." 
Roman frowned and stayed silent as Logan ran back in and handed him the blog bag. He handed it to Virgil as he quickly bit into it and sucked down the blood. He kept an eye on the wound and watched it close slowly. Virgil sat up slowly and inspected his chest to make sure the wound was gone. Then Roman slapped him. Virgil blinked. "Don't ever do that again!" He instantly latched onto Virgil and buried his face in the other's neck. "I was so scared, stormcloud." Tears began to fall from his eyes. "I thought you were going to die." 
Virgil's eyes softened as he looked at Roman. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise, my dear." 
Remus stood off to the side awkwardly. After a few moments Roman reluctantly sat up and took a deep breath before turning to Remus with a death glare. He stayed silent. Remus looked down and let out a breath. "I'm sorry, Roman. I should have listened to you and given him a chance." He turned to Virgil. "I'm sorry, Virgil. I shouldn't have stabbed you." 
Virgil bit his lip. "It's okay, I forgive you." 
Roman shook his head. "I'm very upset with you right now. I can't forgive you yet. But I accept you apology." He buried his face back into Virgil's neck. 
Virgil cleared his throat and stood up with Roman in his arms. "We're going to go lay down." He looked between the four humans before him and then back at the blood left on the floor. He bit his lip. "Um, if you could clean that up, please. I'd really appreciate it. I can order pizza later or whatever y'all want just give us a bit to nap." He smiled at them and left the room with Roman. 
The four men looked at each other. Janus asked, "Did that just happen?"
