@✟ Key It was as thought the moment Taehyung had that clarity, his world collapsed upon itself. In front of him stood his savior. The very reason he had never donated blood, the exact person he wished to belong to, whether that meant as a significant other, or a mere blood slave. Taehyung owed this man his life, and for s sakes he would do so. "You, you are the one who saved me from... that?" His tone was slowly dulling, that excited light in his eyes fading to a flat hatred. "From those terrible demons..." His eyes hadn't become teary as he thought they would, instead falling upon the bloodied wrist of his. Trailing along the skin there, proudness towards his own self explodes within.

[[ :'D ]]

[Wowness]

@✓ Taehyung (( oml-- I'm just as guilty *dies* ))

@✓ Taehyung The words caught in his throat were suffocating him; both of his eyes being glazed over as he recalled various events from several years ago, all leading up to the present moment. It was perplexing for him to recall memories that he had long since forgotten- each moment reappearing in his mind like he were seeing it for the first time.. however he knew those images in his head were glimpses of his past, "I'm saying..." The vampire lulled, looming over the boy, his shadow falling upon the young one's face, "That you grew up well." Transfixed by the luring scent of fresh blood, Key pressed his thumb next to the wound, forcing a generous about of blood to seep from the gash. The fluid trickled down the boy's wrist, only to be swept away by the pureblood's tongue as he lapped it up.

@✟ Key Taehyung watched the emotions play across this vampires face as though he was viewing a movie screen. His own eyes glint with anticipation and curiosity the moment the large male grasps onto his wrist- a bit too tightly but... oh well. The sudden darkness exuding from the alluring creature before him distracted Taehyung, therefore being the reason for his exclaimation of shock once bitten. Taehyung felt his face heat up, the bite... strangely hurting. It didn't feel like a bite, instead a tingling sensation travels along his spine and down to his toes. "W...what do you mean by 'that kid'?" His tone trembles at first as he attempts to hurdle over the pleasure now rolling throughout him.

@✟ Key ((OH YOU RESPONDED. NEXG TIME IF ITS BEEN EVEN A DAY, POKE ME. IM AN IDIOT AND EITHER MISSED IT OR FORGOT)))

@✓ Taehyung Upon hearing about the mark in more detail, his previously calm eyes flashed as a part of him recalled something like that. Not too many memories remained easily accessible in his mind. He was far too old to recall every night of his life. “A lock, huh?” A lock. Right a lock. Locks were everywhere. The vampire briefly grew distracted from violating the stubborn meal below him, and instead grasped roughly at the upturned wrist, holding it pointlessly close to his face. The pureblood’s expression darkened, puzzled by the familiarity of it despite the fact he was certain he had never seen it before. He sniffed the wrist once… twice… and without any warning at all, he pierced his fangs deep into the boy’s vulnerable wrist. “You’re that kid?” He mumbled against the bloody wrist, his eyes gleaming dangerously as he pulled away.

@✟ Key Taehyung listened to him fully, waiting for the... admittedly annoying vampire to finish his show. "... Perhaps I used the wrong word. It's possibly more like a tattoo? One that doesn't fade... and hurts from time to time, yet doesn't cause me any bleeding nor internal damage." He hadn't seemed to feel anything when scratched, merely dropping his gaze to admire the pink and then red welts, a delightful chill running along his spine at the stinging sensation. "It's in the shape of a lock." Taehyung slowly ignores your statement, raising his arm and showing you the underside of his wrist, in which indeed there lie a red mark, a definite shape of a lock stowed there. "... he killed both my parents, was directly before me and yet... he gave me this and left. Sometimes I wonder if he knew what they had been doing to me.. ah, but he is only a vampire. He most likely is dead- or doesn't remember." His gaze returns to you. "Bite me then."

@✓ Taehyung On any other day, the vampire might have just killed the insolent human who dared to talk back to him in such a way, but today he was feeling pretty playful. 'I'll let it slide', he thought to himself. After all humans were needlessly stubborn when faced with dangerous situations. This was just one of those times. Angling his carefully poised claws, the pureblood cruelly scraped his nails down the boy’s torso, leaving pretty red welts on the velvety flesh, not deep enough to truly bleed, “Don’t wanna see it.” The vampire chided, grinning down at the ever naive human, having way too much fun, “The clan is one being, kid. Being bitten by one vampire is no different than being bitten by the leader himself. Throw away that petty singularity if you want to survive here.” With a smug grin, the vampire retracted his hand from under the donor's shirt, "Oh. Looks like I put a mark on you too. What now? Marks are nothing special, kid. I doubt it's anything that impressive."

@✟ Key Taehyungs gaze darkens slightly, a frown slowly decorating his lips the more this vampire tefusss to help him. He definitely noticed the way his body felt once being pressed against- discomfort. Scowling, Taehyung fiercely stared down this beast, his eyes challenging in a way that most definitely was not going to help him. "I do not want him dead- I want to give myself to him. After all, he did leave me with an interesting mark, one that I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have done if he were to kill me." His tone was completely inappropriate for the situation, almost chastising in the most irritating way. "Also, if you're trying to scare me- it's not going to work. I have seen far too many horrors in my life to be afraid of death to a vampire. Honestly I don't have all day, so if you could at least point me in the right direction that'd be great. I could show you the mark right now if that helps."

@✓ Taehyung “You want to know about the… clan leader?” The request almost made him laugh- almost. No vampire would ever sell out their clan leader, not even for blood. Retaining a composed face, Key gently shook off the donor’s hand, “Sure. I know him… but why should I tell you anything? How do I know you’re not just trying to get close to him to kill him?” His body moved mainly by instinct, much like an animal with no regards to the other’s feelings. One hand slid under the donor’s shirt, claiming the honey smooth skin by force, his eyes openly challenging the boy to protest. “I’m so… hurt.” He teased, claws pressing into the boy’s gut, not enough to cut skin but enough to sting and convey his message, “How could you be thinking of another vampire when I’m right here in front of you? That’s not very nice.”

@✟ Key Taehyung stared him down, his gaze unfocused while he was completely absorbed in his thoughts. 'This vampire could ruin everything I've come here for... but then again I don't even know who I am looking for, maybe I should ask..' "I'll let you bite me one time wherever you please... in return for information. I'm looking for the leader of this whole vampire shabang- I'm told he may be the one who saved me from... well, that's not important." While speaking, his right hand lifts from where he had been bracing himself against the floor, gently placing it over the others. "It is a matter of ownership. Whoever he is... I owe myself to him so- don't kill me okay?" He smiled brightly then, eyes crinkling slightly at the corners, teeth blindingly white. Something was seriously wrong with how his brain worked.

@✓ Taehyung The soft flutter of the human heart was something that always stirred the inner animal within him; his eyes sparking ominously with bloodlust as he gazed upon the donor. It took all his strength to stop himself from biting the boy right then and there. "It's really too bad. I can't give you a proper education on this." He hummed quietly, sliding his clawed hand down the donor's chest, feeling the other's heartbeat. "Because I would take a human like you anywhere... at any time... in any position." He was completely serious. With a smirk, he continued, "I'm not going to do anything right now though. Not until you tell me how you want it." He teased, "Shall i bite you? If yes... then where?"

@✟ Key Maybe today just was an exception, or maybe he truly was as ed up as the doctors claimed him to be... yet looking at the revealed vampire before him did not scare him. He did not feel threatened, dangered, nor afraid in any way besides his natural reaction. His body knew he was around a being above him in the food chain, and it reacted as so, those unsettling chills still traveling along his spine in waves. He took a long look at the fangs, at the dripping liquid in which he could only imagine being venom, into those sinister eyes... and felt thrilled. "As you please." He murmurs the words softly, gaze defiant per usual, but moreso in curiosity than in hatred.

@✓ Taehyung The vampire's laughter from before morphed into a more sinister, quieter chuckle, his grip upon the donors hair loosening just enough to allow the human some comfort, but his stance had not wavered, eyes gleaming with ill-intent, "Oh my. where do you think you're going? Or lesson is far from over." He drawled, finally allowing his fangs to show, eyes burning bright red with bloodlust due to him allowing his lips to get so close to an unsuspecting humans neck. It was getting far too hard to play 'innocent' when a healthy donor was literally lying beneath him. The mere thought of piercing his fangs into that silky skin was causing him to salivate, fangs dripping with a toxic venom strong enough to paralyze. "See?" The vampire smiled, softly threading his fingers through the donors hair, as if petting the human; treating the creature like the fragile being that it was, "Aren't you learning so much already?" His hand slid down the humans cheek, voice low and commanding. "Stay."

@✟ Key The few beats of silence after he stopped responding seemed to stretch out longer than usual. Taehyung was now starting to wrack his brain as to why this man filled him with such a sense of deja vu. Then... laughter fills the silence. The young donor was shocked, not expecting for his expectations to be laughed at in the wildest of his imaginations. As the man spoke however, Taehyung realized why he was getting incredibly nervous. "...Right. Well, I think we've had enough of a lesson today- my schedule is packed and I have yet to eat anything to keep my content up~" He was lying. Lying through his pearly white teeth, chills raking up his spine and sending goosebumps to flower against his tanned skin. Of course he would manage to say something like this to a vampire, his luck was too negative to not have. He tried to turn his head back, not minding the grip, but instead feeling intimidated by being unable to view the male.

@✓ Taehyung For a brief moment, fleeting, almost passing too fast for Key to even realize what hit him, he found himself astonished by the human's words. "What..." He paused momentarily before laughing. It wasn't just a simple laugh, it was a full laugh- the first real laugh he probably had in decades. This human was just too funny, causing him to cover his mouth with his palm trying his damned hardest not to reveal his fangs despite how hard his was smiling. The smile was anything but sweet- it was derogatory. "Oh you sweet child. You bet your ing you're a machine- a blood dispensing machine. Donors are no better or worse than the cattle." He gripped the donors hair, expertly flicking his wrist to forcefully reveal the donor's neck, "You really think the vampire's gonna care how you're feeling? How well acquainted you are? How much pain you wanna feel?" He smirked, leaning closer to whisper in the donor's ear, "Its your job to bleed. Nothing more."

@✟ Key This man seemed peculiar, and yet Taehyung couldn't quite figure out exactly what it was that was triggering alarms in his brain. It was almost as if his instincts were telling him that this all felt too familiar... but why? "Well... that depends on a lot of factors." He ignored the chills travelling along his neck after being touched by this donor, staring unfazed into the others, unabashed and seemingly calm... yet his gaze was emotionless at the same time. It was always emotionless no matter the situation. "If I know them, if I don't, how I am feeling that day, if I feel like having more or less pain, if I have been fed from previously and how soon it had taken place before this next session." His gaze shifts slightly looking to the side with a bored expression. "I am a person after all, not a machine..."

@✓ Taehyung The donor's defiant attitude was enough to put an amused smile on his face, forcing him to bite back a laugh, he was really trying his hardest not to blow his cover. "Alright then-" He knelt down with a smirk, "Don't expect me to go easy on you, just because you're new." He grabbed onto the other's ankles and gave them a tug, pull the other away from the wall, quickly positioning himself to hover over the donor's body. "In a situation where a vampire is hovering over you... like this.. What position and expression should you be making?" Key lowered his voice, letting his deep black gaze pierce deep into the younger male's eyes.

@✟ Key The male tried to stay calm, his eyes portraying curiosity and slight distaste towards the large man before him. He wanted to seem more mature, strong, and ready to donate than he really was. It was due to his pride that he whole heartedly agreed to practicing with the other. "... I don't see quite how it would help, but if it helps you sleep at night." He scoffed softly, truly embarrassed that he had been caught practicing by someone so apparently knew what he was doing.

@✓ Taehyung The vampire hummed, smiling softly, as if he were gazing upon a small child rather than a young adult. Humans were just like children to him. Weak... naive... "Foolish." He mumbled with a grin, not caring if the boy would hear him or not. The book seemed old and tattered... probably a relic of the past from back when vampires and humans used to get along. The vampire glanced curiously at the book within his hands, briefly opening it to read the first few lines, trying not to laugh at the vivid drawings etched into the brittle paper, "Wanna try it? The pose, I mean." He promptly closed the book, letting it fall to the floor. "I'm... an experienced donor, so let me help you. We can pretend I'm a vampire."

@✟ Key Taehyung examined the man before him, silently checking his neck for any marks, before making eye contact again the moment he stated Vampiresn were dangerous. "Vampires aren't the only things that go bump in the night. Humans are dangerous too, but I don't run from them." He scowls, not sure who this man was... but something about him was slightly intimidating. It was one thing for a human to judge him, but a whole new level if it were another donor. "Well since you know so much about what vampires want, why don't you tell me who you even are?"

@✓ Taehyung Before the other could reach the book, Key quickly held it up higher, smirking down at the rather adorable human, "Why are you even practicing such a thing? Don't you know? Vampire's are dangerous. You shouldn't try things like that, even during the day." His eyes glinted with amusement, finding it fun to tease the human. He wasn't particularly thirsty at the moment, but at the same time, he wasn't the type to pass up a meal that was putting itself on display right in front of him. "Want my opinion...? Don't do things by the book, okay? Not all vampires are the same."

@✟ Key Directly in the midst of trying another direction for the same pose, the paperback was abruptly tugged from his long fingers. Blinking in dismay and a slight amount of surprise as to how quickly they were stolen, Taehyung stared at the culprit in even further shock. Tall, handsome... and mysterious. The words that surfaced from the opposing males lips slightly upsetting Taehyung. Defiantly, he scowled up at the man, reaching for the book. "What would you know?

@✓ Taehyung After waking up from a much needed snooze, Key found himself strolling around the area to stretch his legs in an attempt to wake up. However what he didn't expect to see was a human doing some... questionable poses in broad daylight, unguarded. 'Well that's interesting', he thought to himself. With a playful smirk, Key strolled closer to the unsuspecting human and snatched the book he was reading away. "Most comfortable feeding position?" He read aloud, looking down upon the other male. "Sorry but... you're doing it all wrong." He teased.

Taehyung leans back against a wall, nose deep in a book supposedly about ways to feed a vampire. The sketches were very detailed, intriguing the obsessed, fantasy-ridden male to no end. Clicking his tongue in awe, he absentmindedly mimicked the "most comfortable" feeding position, tilting his head approximately 45 degrees to the side.
