Erwin smiled at the unknown man who was sleeping on the couch, head on his lap, passed out from drinking too much. The vampire had drunk it too, but a different kind of liquid. It wasn't really hard to seduce a guy when he was drunk, and Erwin had to admit they actually had a nice chat despite everything, before the vampire had leaned on the other, pressing his lips to the man's neck, fangs piercing the skin. To everyone else, it was just an innocent kiss on the neck. To the man, it was a slightly painful kiss, but nothing that alarmed him - probably because of all the drinks he had had. But even when they weren't drunk, people simply thought he was a little aggressive. It wasn't that painful when he wasn't blind with hunger, and they could never feel the holes afterwards, anyway.<br/><br/>And now, full, Erwin was humming quietly, sitting on the couch and running his fingers through the man's hair, enjoying the feeling. Hayate usually teased him for it, as the other vampire preferred to drink a little from someone and jump to the next. Erwin, though, enjoyed the little time he shared with someone after the "dance" was over. It felt like he connected with them -  transformed his victims into something more than just someone he drunk the blood of.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Hey."</span>a whisper, and Erwin looked at the man, seeing he was half awake.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Thought you had left already."</span><br/><br/>The vampire smiled a little, sad. No, he hadn't left, but he would, soon. It wasn't smart to grow too attached. Still, he lowered his head, placing a soft kiss on the man's lips.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Just go back to sleep."</span>he whispered against them.<br/><br/>The man obeyed, closing his eyes and adjusting himself better on the couch. When Erwin raised his head again, he caught Hayate's look, and nodded. Time to go. The worst part of all. Careful not to awaken the other, Erwin raised himself from the couch, and walked towards his friend. True, it always hurt a little, to leave the illusion of connection behind, but then, it was always great while it lasted. The brief moment when Erwin could pretend to be just a normal person, flirting with another, kissing another, and then the connection coming as a thrilling feeling down his spine as he fed, and then the moment after, the moment where he would stay with the person, talking.<br/><br/>And then the spell was broken and he would be back to being a vampire until the next hunt.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he was smiling when he reached Hayate, who patted him in the back.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Missed it?"</span>his friend asked, a smile on his own face that showed his night had been productive too.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I always do."</span><br/><br/><br/>It was very, very late when they finally reached Akane, the vampire looking very displeased. For a moment, Erwin thought that the boy had finally done it, had finally told someone. But then, if he had, Akane wouldn't be there.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Your boy is incredible boring."</span>she huffed, and Erwin was surprised by the emotion in her voice. She was normally more impassive. But then, she was probably annoyed she hadn't gone hunting.<span style="font-weight: bold">"He was meditating. <span style="font-style: italic">Meditating</span>."</span>she repeated, as if it was the worse thing in the world.<br/><br/>Hayate laughed behind him, and Erwin couldn't help but smile, too. He then nodded to both of them, as his friends disappeared in the woods.<br/><br/>Erwin then frowned, wondering if the boy was still up. It was pretty late, perhaps almost four in the morning, after all. Curious, the vampire listened carefully, as he made his way towards the boy's scent. He wasn't sure the other would appreciate his company, but then, he didn't want to be left alone so soon after a hunt.
