@Im Luon ⚸ Though Dylan didn’t know what the male meant by ‘sleeping with humans’, he simply shrugged.
Noticing the drunk male struggle a bit before they got comfortable had Dylan emitting a small sigh, setting the keys down at the table.
“If you say so..” he continued to speak as he found a bottled water from the fridge before setting it down next to drunk male along with some pain medicine for the morning before taking notice of the final gesture to exit.
“Alright alright. I am leaving. Sleep well and perhaps don’t drink too much next time…stranger.” He finally said before making his way towards the door, being sure to lock it from the inside so no one could break in.
“Sleep well.” He repeated one last time before the sound of a door closing could be heard and Dylan left finally.
@Dylan Wang The drunk male followed behind Dylan once he finally got the door opened for him, stumbling over the small ledge and gradually shifts his body weight onto the wall of the hallway. He scoffed and scrunched up his nose, "Mm neither am I, not too fond about sleeping with humans....So I am glad we can agree on that." Without bending down, and using his feet, he managed to kick his shoes off so he could venture deeper into his home that remained in the dark.
He grumbled some nonsense and finally flicked the light switch, lighting up the living room for the two. A brow arches and the vampire chuckles, "Offering...hospitality to me in my own home, how strange....Don't worry, I should be okay little human. You go run off, I'll be fine once I lay down and close my eyes." He turned and eyed the couch; it was the closest thing for him and he didn't feel like walking to his bedroom despite it having a much more comfortable place to rest.
Returning his gaze to the kind stranger, he motioned with his hand for him to shoo, like he was a stray pet. He ends up leaning to one side, almost losing his balance but luckily he catches his footing and plops down onto the cushion of the couch.
@Im Luon ⚸ As Dylan stood there and fussed with the keys to try and figure out which one was the magic one that opened the door whilst still carefully holding onto the stranger.
“Oh- thanks.” He responded briefly as he was finally told which one is the one to unlock the males humble abode, inserting the key and turning it enough to hear the click of an unlock, Dylan took out the key to reach and turn the knob as he opened the door. Hearing the males words had him freeze in place briefly as he questioned if the stranger is a vampire or just messing with him.
“Well. Its a good thing that I’m not interested in you to do anything…” he mumbled honestly, guiding the male inside as he searched for a bed. Once his brown eyes took notice of a bed, he walked the drunkard male over before carefully guiding them to lie down, setting their keys on the night stand next to them.
“Would you care for water or anything?” Dylan asked kindly as he wasn’t enough of a jerk to leave someone drunk enough to vomit later on themselves or wake up with a major hangover.
“Where is your water..?” He asked again, glancing down at the male before him.
@Dylan Wang Luon gave a nonchalant shrug with unintelligible words as a reply to Dylan's statement about his living state, offering few options to continue the conversation.
Luckily, they had made it to his door, so Dylan wouldn't have to worry about fetching random small talk starters to try rolling a conversation with the impaired vampire. Luon stood in a haze, as he watched Dylan easily pick up the keys, thinking what a superhero he must be that he didn't tip over or threw up while he did it.
"Ah, thank you, kind hero." There was a hint of teasing in his voice as he pointed to the key with a blue bottom. "This one, don't worry, I'll bite you and scare you away, little human, if you try anything."
The vampire tilted his head back, resting on the sturdy wall as he flashed a cocky smile at Dylan.
@Im Luon ⚸ The walk towards the strangers house felt like forever, but Dylan was willing to do such a task.
He nodded his head to the latters words, finding this state to be rather interesting as he doesn’t recall ever taking anyone home drunk let alone a complete stranger his whole life.
He lived a somewhat privileged life until it got worse…
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the thoughts, he continued to conversation.
“Four years is a long time. You must really enjoy the neighborhood then. Thats a good sign, means its a safe space for you.” He spoke softly, though when they approach the individuals home. Dylan watched him struggle for his keys, taking the step to reach a hand to take the metal keys into his own hands and held it up eye level to the male.
“Which one unlocks your door…? I’ll open it and put you to sleep with a bottled water and head out. No funny business from me.” Dylan is honest. Truth be told, he wasn’t a bad man, just closed off and kept to himself.
@Dylan Wang It was good that Dylan was observant and had quick reflexes, or the two of them would have tumbled over, maybe take a rolling trip down the stairs. Instead, Luon is pulled up from the cold stairs, and his drunken figure slouches as it leans against the stranger's shoulder for support.
Like a puppet, Luon was in a state were Dylan could easily manipulate his limbs, in this case, he was capable of supporting Luon in a comfortable position with his arm loosely on his shoulder. The vampire simply pointed and grunted some nonsense, "mm over there..." If Luon knew what this poor human was going through just to help a drunk stranger, he would call him a saint, or more realistically call him an idiot for wasting his time on him.
This time, the vampire could hear and process the words that the kind stranger was spewing, "I've...mm lived here for four years...its nice...I guess." He holds out three fingers to serve as a useless visual of the years. He continues to point and grunt as his way of guiding them to his home, eventually, they reach the door of his place and he pulls away from Dylan, his weight shifting over to slump against the wall of his home.
He fishes his hand into his pocket, searching blindly for the metal clanging sounds that would be his keys. It took longer but he managed to find the keys, and when he pulled it out of the pocket, they ended up dropping on the floor, leaving another difficult task for the man.
@Im Luon ⚸ Alcohol- Dylan never understood why people consumed such a liquid substance. But he wasn’t going to judge those who did.
He stayed quiet as he watched the male question whether to accept the help or not. But maybe the male wasn’t coherent and didn’t even hear Dylan.
But he got his confirmation soon enough when the other male reaches for his right hand, Dylan’s body almost losing balance as the male seems ..stronger than him. But catching his feet at just the nick of time he adjusted a bit to help the stranger out.
Bringing one of his free arms to wrap around the unknown males waist for a means of support and bringing their arm over Dylan’s neck plus shoulders. His brown orbs shifted to the street they pointed to followed by a brief nod.
“Got it. Just tell me when we are close to your home…” he mumbled as he carefully began to walk down the road with said male.
Dylan’s eyes wandered to gaze at the city lights in admiration while he purses his lips out slightly in thought before speaking once again to ease the quietness.
“Have you lived in this neighborhood for awhile? Seems like a quiet one- not much ruckus going on in the nightlife out here.”
Small talk- he hated it but it was better than awkwardly walking a drunkard back to their home in pure silence.
@Dylan Wang Luon only managed to respond to those words that seemed to go in one ear and out the other, he shrugged and tries to peek at the man, his eyelids too heavy that he was left with a narrowed gaze.
The vampire knew he would be sober in an hour, that pros of being a vampire, it was hard to even get drunk and it wouldn't last for long. He focused on the hand, though it appeared to be two at the moment, his eyes betraying him. He managed to grab the right hand, and almost pulled Dylan down as he attempted to stand up on his two feet. He muttered something and waved his other hand outward, pointing down the street.
@Im Luon ⚸ Dylan took into realization just HOW drunk the strange male is, he felt kind of sad for the male.
Dylan didn’t drink so he couldn’t relate to feeling this way but he would never leave anyone on the side of the road like that.
“I am Dylan. You are outside the bar- plastered drunk.” He responded calmly while his gaze face to face with the male as he is still kneeling down on one knee. Dylan’s expression shows a sense of concern despite his stone cold demeanor.
“Would you like assistance to your place? Can you tell me where you live..? I don’t feel comfortable just leaving you on the street nor hotel.” He stated with a slow nod, bringing his other hand up to offer a hand as a gesture to help him up.
@Dylan Wang Luon was unaware of the pair of feet that stopped by his side, he was between the land of the wake and the sleep, even when Dylan spoke to him, he couldn't register those sounds that were supposed to be words.
The vampire blinked a few times on his own, and focused to the water bottle that was presented in front of him. His eyes trail up the hand, arm that was holding the bottle till his eyes would meet with the stranger's face. He slurred his words and tried to straighten up, "mm sorry who are you? Where are we?"
He now trusted in this stranger to be some guide, dangerous to in trust yourself in the hands of someone you don't know.
@Im Luon ⚸ The noise is disturbing his thoughts, the louder the bar, the more annoyed Dylan got.
He emitted out a exhale of annoyance as he heard stumbling, his gaze averting to the interaction between a tatted long haired man and the bartender.
He rose a brow in confusion as Dylan did not drink and didn’t understand why people did it.
But did he actually care why? Probably not.
He noticed the tatted man making his way out towards the exit before his body was no longer present. Dylan figured maybe it was time for him to leave as well, gathering his laptop and placing it in his business bag, as he strolled outside only to carefully step around the drunk male before something in Dylan told him to stop.
He stood there quietly for a minute before he turned his body to now face the male, kneeling down on one knee so he could eye level with the drunken male.
“Uhm..are you okay? Do you need help getting a cab?” He offered while he shuffled through his bag to pull out a bottled water, holding it out in offering to the male. Dylan’s expression didn’t show a sign of empathy though, his tone remained direct and his body language gave off a stand offish demeanor while he patiently waited for the other to respond /if/ they would.
@Dylan Wang Luon loved to drink at bars or social events, but he would never drink so much to the point of being pissed drunk. His 'friends' were tipsy themselves and were causing a stir with how obnoxiously loud they were being that of course, other bargoers were giving them glances, disapproving and annoyed.
His so-called friends were too intoxicated to notice Luon's state, his head hanging low and unable to participate in the chatter. Not one of them realized he was getting up, stumbling over to the bar to demand another drink with a slurred speech. However, the bartender was cutting his supply off for the night and told him he should go home or at least have some water instead. Luon cursed at the man, and flipped him off, only for that simple gesture to cause him to stumble back, his figure pushing into a nearby table.
He grumbled and decided to head outside for a little smoke; he managed to find his way out on his two feet and plopped down on the stairs leading to the Tavern. He leaned against the railing and had already forgotten why he was outside. He mumbled nonsense and closed his eyes, the cold air hitting his heated face.
@Im Luon ⚸ The night is late as its almost 2am and Dylan happens to still being sitting in the Tavern as he is typing away on his laptop.
He is wearing a suit and reading glasses as his hair is done neatly. Mainly being here for the peaceful part of it so late in the night but he realized that its Saturday night and its definitely rowdy in here.
He kept hearing drunk talk and laughter at the tables around him, his brown orbs glancing over to a table that had very few people sitting at it.
But somehow he noticed a really drunk male with long black hair and tattoos.
“Hm”
He stated as he realized that maybe he should gather his belongings and call it a night. He ordered another water from the waiter and politely thanked them while he typed away some more. He tried to finish up his documentation before it got too late in the night as he didn’t plan on staying out too late anyway.
“I will thank you, you’re too kind to offer. Maybe we can do a group trip, bring our friends all along as well. Make it a.. how do you put it. A celebration of starting a new generation of acceptance… that’s kind of a long title isn’t it?” He laughs shaking his head before looking up. “It’s almost a full moon.. you’ll have to be careful if you’re own on a full moon. Do promise me”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “Mm, sure!” he let out and grinned at the other, his cheeks a bit flushed. “Mm if you ever need me to join you somewhere instead, just let me know~” he told him and grinned at him. He peeked up at the sky, pointing to the moon. “It is so pretty tonight!”
@Kang Yeosang “I’m sure it will be, maybe next time I go to being back food you can join Hm?” He wasn’t sure when that would be as he just recently stocked up but he’d remember to bring it up next time it came close. He enjoyed traveling and thought traveling with friends would be just as fun. Right? “Yes, my schedulea are rather packed with checking on all the restaurants but I’m sure I can make it happen so don’t fret okay?”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “That must be so! I really want to travel more in the future! Hopefully that is possible~” he said and grinned. “Oh, sure! That’s all good to me!” he commented and did a thumbs up. “Don’t worry about it! And it doesn’t have to be now if you are too busy. I understand that we all have schedules...”
@Kang Yeosang “Theyre beautiful places, pictures don’t compare to the real thing but nothing really does.” Hyeok hums in thoughts not sure which would be best, “Let’s see when I can get time off first and we’ll figure the details out later. Is that okay? I’d like to make sure I have concrete time before I agree and leave you disappointed if I have to change it”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “that’s true! i can speak a few luckily~” he commented. “food and culture is nice to learn about! i really want to see england and ireland.” he told the vampire. “mm, right? it’d be nice i think!” he commented and giggled. “we can have a nice painting evening at my place if you want it... or wherever you’d prefer.”
@Kang Yeosang “It’s fun traveling, more if you can speak the language. There’s a lot out there, life styles food styles, culture. I wish everyone could travel, give them worldly experiences you know.” Hyeok nods humming, “Olay, I don’t see why not it might be fun.” He nods a few times, he did need to make more free time and hanging out with new friends sounded better than sitting and reading by himself at
Home.
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “I understand that though! I also struggle with disconnecting from work at times.” he commented and grinned. “And when you love your job a lot, it makes it even harder to separate work from your personal life and to have a good work-life balance.” he added. His eyes widened at his words. “Wow! That is impressive! I wish that I had traveled as much as you have.” Yeosang looked up at the starry night sky. “I won’t judge! The goal is to have fun, not to be perfect~”
@Kang Yeosang “I know, I’ve been told to many times but it’s hard, I rather enjoy cooking. I love it. But you’re right too,” as they walk towards the park Hyeok thinks about the many adventures he’s have in his long lifetime. “London, Italy, Germany, um let’s see.. I’ve been to.. Ah Japan and china.. ah there’s a few places on my list I still wish to go to.. a painting night? That sounds fun, but I’m not sure I’m still good at it I wouldn’t want to make a fool or anything.”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ Yeosang shook his head at his words and flashed him a gentle smile. “It is okay! It has been years...” he told the other. He turned his head to glance at the other man as he walked beside him. “Oh! You should take breaks from work sometimes, mm?” he suggested. He grinned at his words. “Traveling and reading are so nice too! I agree. Where have you been?” he asked. “Painting? We could have a painting night together if you’d like.”
@Kang Yeosang “Oh.. oh I’m sorry I didn’t, I apologize yeosang.” He clears his throat feeling guilty for bringing it up. “Free time… I’m not sure I don’t really..” Hyeoks brows furrow as he tries to think. “I’m not really sure, I’m usually just cooking. Or working with my restaurants to better then and watch over. I like to read, I guess travel. I do love to travel. I’ve tried painting as well but that was maybe twenty years ago the last time I picked something up. I’d like to do more but I’m not entirely sure what I’d like if I’m being honest.”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “Well, I do not really have family left.” he told the other and rubbed the back of his neck. Yeosang grinned at the other’s next comment and bowed his head, politely - grateful for the vampire’s kindness. “Thank you! What about you? What do you like to do in your free time? And yes, indeed, I draw and paint. Mm, I just like to do a bit of everything... sometimes nice scenic paintings and other times, cute animals, painting pastries and such.”
@Kang Yeosang “That’s great, and your family are supportive yes? I’m happy you found something you’re passionate about yeosang. It’s not easy to find that, many people go their lives not having soemthing to be passionate about. And you said you draw yes? What do you like to draw? Anything in particular?”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ Yeosang let him lead the way and blushed as he saw him opening the door for him. “Thank you!” he commented and followed hum out. “Well, since a few years ago! I discovered that passion and began baking for people around me - friends and such! Then, decided to open up my bakery shop not too long ago actually.”
@Kang Yeosang “Perfect,” Hyeok being the gentleman he was walked toes and towards the front opening the door for the Humana sun followed suit. He motioned for yeosang to lead the way and followed. “So, how long have you been baking yeosang? How long has your store been open? I do definitely need to check it out.”
@Choe Hyeok-Geun ⚸ “Oh! I shall continue to name them that way then.” he commented and nodded his head. He understands that there probably was some conflict between the vampires and werewolves. As Yeosang heard the next question, he let out a chuckle and nodded. “I’m okay! I just had one glass. I rarely drink much more as I do not like to forget things.” he admitted and fixed his pants and shirt. “I’m ready to go~”
@Kang Yeosang “Honestly probably not? I’m sure they prefer wolves but that was how I was taught to call them, force of habit I guess. I’ve been trying to change calling them that. “Ah perfect, you’re close then? Are- and don’t take this wrong are you able to um, walk? Coherently?” He didn’t want to come off as rude. “I don’t know how much you were drinking first and then I offered the wine so I just want to make sure you’re okay”
