[ oh...he scared do-yoon...even vampirism isn’t enough to overcome how bad that makes him feel. there’s a light thunk as his forehead falls against the door, shoulders shaking and upset as he tries to collect himself.

now that the furniture is gone he opens the door, looking at do-yoon guilty. he might not feel bad about draining hyesung but ]

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.

[showended]

[ Oh, thank goodness that worked. There's no way Do-yoon would have been able to talk Gyu-hyuk down when he was angry, but at least if he'll listen to him, there's still hope. ]

I know.

[ Do-yoon hold his arms out for a hug. This is a very dangerous move, but he earnestly believes Gyu-hyuk wouldn't hurt him. Even if he bites him, he wouldn't go as far as he had with Hyesung.

Hopefully Hyesung will wait for Do-yoon's signal, because if he jumps the gun, they could both be dead. ]

It's this place, right? It's not you. You don't want to hurt anybody, do you?

[scholarshipping]

Of course I don't want to hurt anyone!

[ He's so weak to Do-yoon, he happily takes the hug, wrapping his arms around his waist and burying his head in Do-yoon's shoulder. He'd be embarrassed about his behavior if he could remember Hyesung is here, but he's sort of put him out of his mind for now. Nothing matters except Do-yoon.

Well, nothing but Do-yoon and how ridiculously hungry he is. And with his head pressed against Do-yoon's neck and shoulder he can feel him so well, can smell his blood and chroma. He gently scrapes his fangs against his neck, not enough to break his skin or anything, but enough that Gyu-hyuk can feel Do-yoon.

He speaks quietly, only for the two of them: ]

I'm just so hungry, Do-yoon. Please...

[showended]

[ Do-yoon sighs with relief, holding Gyu-hyuk in a warm embrace. If even after all that, Gyu-hyuk can still hold him and not lose his head, Do-yoon feels a lot better about this. Maybe Gyu-hyuk lost his sense earlier, but when it comes to Do-yoon, he's always kind like this. ]

I know. And I wanna help, okay?

[ They can work with this. They can keep him safe, until they find a cure. Maybe Gyu-hyuk really would let himself get tied down, if it was safer for Do-yoon that way.

Do-yoon shivers at the slight, gentle drag of Gyu-hyuk's fangs. Right, this is super hot. Hyesung can see them, but he doesn't really care if it means he gets to enjoy Gyu-hyuk being a hot vampire. ]

You can drink from me, just... be careful. [ But he smiles, an attempt at being reassuring. It's scary, but that's hot too. ] I trust you.

[scholarshipping]

Thank you.

[ He doesn’t catch the smile. He’s too focused on what he’s being offered. One hand slides down to Do-yoon’s waist, the other up to his head to grab hold of his hair and keep him tight and close.

And then he plunges his fangs into Do-yoon’s neck. His blood is so much sweeter than Hyesung’s, so much better. Just like he’d imagined. He just tastes so good. He knows he has to be careful with him, but he’s so happy like this. Nothing could compare to the feeling of living entirely off of Do-yoon like this. ]

[showended]

[ Do-yoon gasps, the pained sound turning into a moan as pleasure overwhelms his senses. Everything about the bite feels better than he could have hoped, from having Gyu-hyuk so close, to the incredible, almost overpowering desire that overtakes him and has him melting into Gyu-hyuk's arms. It's a good thing Gyu-hyuk has such a good hold on him, because already Do-yoon can feel his knees going weak, just as the blood and chroma gets drained from his body. ]

Oh... fuck.

[ He doesn't care though, he can't remember why he wouldn't want this. It feels so good, giving himself up to Gyu-hyuk, physically and emotionally. It's no wonder Hyesung almost died like this. ]

1/2

[phaterstar]

['Oh fuck', coincidentally, is exactly what goes through Hyesung's mind the second Gyu-hyuk drives his fangs into Do-yoon's neck. This wasn't part of the plan! Do-yoon was supposed to be the bait, but not like this! It all happened so quickly, he didn't even have time to react; he can see the way Do-yoon is beginning to go limp, though. Just like what happened to him. That means...]

Ah...!

[Thankfully - if it's possible to be thankful in this ridiculous goddamn situation - Gyu-hyuk was so consumed with Do-yoon that he doesn't seem to have noticed him.]

Bro!

2/2

[phaterstar]

Shit!

[Right, time to take advantage of how distracted Gyu-hyuk is; leaping forward, heart pounding in his ears, Hyesung quickly moves to wrap one of those belts around Gyu-hyuk's arms, where they're curled around Do-yoon's back.]

Let him go, dude! You're gunna kill him!

[scholarshipping]

[ It feels so good, and he's so focused on Do-yoon that he doesn't see Hyesung. And although he'd moved his hands so they weren't close anymore, Hyesung moves quick enough that the belt traps them and pulls them close.

His eyes open, going wide as he pulls out of Do-yoon's neck and straight up hisses, yes, like a cat, at Hyesung, trying to get his arms out of the way of the belts. But the material is strong and it holds, though he's fairly certain Hyesung didn't think this through at all because now he's bound with Do-yoon in his arms. ]

Why are you always -- ruining everything?! [ There's an anger to his voice that neither of them has heard before, full of rage and fury and a danger that's obvious now, his eyes narrowed on Hyesung. A singular focus, focused on him and forgetting for the moment about Do-yoon, still in his arms and still pressed close. ] Let me go, Seo Hyesung, or I'll finish what I started.

[showended]

[ With the haze of the bite, Do-yoon doesn't even realize what Hyesung is doing. He doesn't hear him, doesn't even remember their whole "plan" because everything feels too wonderful and Gyu-hyuk is so warm and why would he fight it?

But all of that vanishes the moment Gyu-hyuk retracts his fangs. The fog lifts from his mind, his body a bit weak from the loss of blood, but it's nothing too serious. He's still held in Gyu-hyuk's arms, even if Hyesung managed to bind them together. Oh, this isn't what he'd planned at all. Do-yoon sucks in a sharp breath, cursing internally.

Dammit, Hyesung, I was going to ask him after he bit me.

Still, it's hard to blame Hyesung for his concern, when he was doing all this for his own safety. In the end, this plan really sucked but it's all they have. But Do-yoon's never heard Gyu-hyuk sound quite like this -- with so much much anger, dangerously so. Did Gyu-hyuk even have it in him? Well, he clearly does. You don't suffer like Gyu-hyuk suffered without gaining some resentment for the way things are.

But that doesn't mean he should take it out on Hyesung. Do-yoon may be trapped, but he doesn't pull away either, instead he pulls Gyu-hyuk closer, hoping that the chroma might at least help bring him back to normal. ]

Gyu-hyuk. Calm down! This isn't -- [ 'This isn't what I planned' ] We just don't want you to hurt anybody.

[phaterstar]

[This is truly the worst plan ever, but at least it got Gyu-hyuk to stop draining Do-yoon's blood? That's....a win, yeah? Admittedly, he's still caught within his arms, but...he stopped biting him! That's all that matters! Hyesung's heart is still hammering in his ears, but at least...at least he doesn't have to watch Do-yoon slowly fade away. He can't lose someone else. Have them die, and be trapped with a killer....!]

The hell I will!

[His voice cracks, sharply, despite the anger. Not again, he can't do that again! To escape that nightmare, only to end up in another one...it's not fair....

Hyesung grabs Gyu-hyuk's arms once more, but only to thread another belt around them, voice now steady but hands trembling. He won't admit it, but Gyu-hyuk's words - his rage - are getting to him.]

You've gone crazy, bro. Do you want to kill Do-yoon? Would that make you feel good?

[scholarshipping]

[ He fights against the belts, the leather digging into his skin angrily. He could really hurt himself like this, he realizes, like those wounds that had been left on Seil when they'd found him with the leather belt around his neck. But he also finds he doesn't care. It would be worth a thousand marks to get out of Hyesung's hold and keep Do-yoon only for himself.

Especially since Do-yoon seems to want that, too. Yes, that must be it, because Do-yoon presses himself closer and he'd let him bite him. Hyesung was the one who had it wrong, like always, coming between him and what he wanted.

It's Hyesung's question that makes him stop. Would it make him feel good? He doesn't know. It had, before. Certainly with Seil, if not before. And in the nightmare, when he'd killed that monstrous version of himself, his fingers around it's neck, taking it's life and watching it die. Watching himself die. It had felt so good, yes, to do it again would be right...whether it was Hyesung, or Do-yoon ---

But that thought fights back hard against the instinct to kill and to drain them until they have nothing left. He could never hurt Do-yoon. It wouldn't feel good to kill Do-yoon, he'd rather kill himself. He screams in frustration, caught between these two terrible feelings, each so strong, tearing him apart, it hurts so bad... ]

N-no, I don't want to hurt Do-yoon, I---

[ he relaxes, submitting to Hyesung at least for now. ]

I don't want to hurt him. Whatever you have to do.

[showended]

Hyesung!

[ Do-yoon wants to tell him to stop goading him, to stop making this worse when things are already so bad. But Hyesung's words seem to have gotten through to Gyu-hyuk, and that's a huge relief. Even knowing Gyu-hyuk would never intentionally hurt him, it's good to hear him sounding more like himself, instead of the angry, bitter voice he'd used before.

Gyu-hyuk is obviously dealing with a lot. Everyone has feelings they hide from others, his are just hard to spot. Maybe sometimes you have to be harsh and loud like Hyesung to see everything about a person. Even still... Do-yoon can't help but feel sorry for him. He never asked to be affected by whatever changed him like this. ]

It's okay. It's okay, Gyu-hyuk. I know.

[ Do-yoon hugs him again, this time pulling back afterwards to try and get out of his hold. It's not that he doesn't want to be near him, but for their safety... he'd have to be. As good as that bite felt, it could get dangerous. He doesn't want to end up like Hyesung. ]

We'll take care of everything. You won't hurt anybody, we'll make sure.

[phaterstar]

[Hyesung is still looking rather bristly, but the fact that Gyu-hyuk's rage seems to have abated definitely calms him down (to a point, anyway). He's tempted to reply with something snappy and sarcastic, but to his credit, he manages to hold his tongue. He may be reckless, but at least he's smart enough to realise when the battle is over.

It's cautious, but he approaches as Do-yoon tries to get out of Gyu-hyuk's hold, watching to see if he needs any support.]

Now what?

[Hyesung knows what he thinks should happen; bind Gyu-hyuk's legs in case he changes his mind about being peaceful. But Do-yoon appears to be in control of things, so...he'll wait for him to make a decision. He's definitely not relaxing, though - Gyu-hyuk is calm now, but who knows how he'll be once Do-yoon is free?]

[scholarshipping]

[ It's certainly harder without Do-yoon being close, without the chroma from their touch. but he's patient as Do-yoon works his way out of his bound arms (Hyesung certainly made this difficult on both of them), and he's left looking at both of them, arms bound and waiting for them to pass their verdict on him.

If only someone had made an informational PSA on what to do next...like, you know, on the network. ]

You should both go, before I hurt you again.

[showended]

[ Do-yoon works his way out of Gyu-hyuk's hold, taking a step back though certainly remaining close enough that he's still basically by Gyu-hyuk's side. This is his boyfriend, after all. Having him tied up in the same belts that had killed Seil doesn't sit right by him, but right now it's all they have. ]

We're not going to just leave you here.

[ He was checking his watch earlier for exactly this reason, you know. Solutions. The Moon Knights recommended those magnetic restraints, but anything standard would work, too. ]

We can... We can get something better than this. Something that won't leave a mark.

[ The last thing he wants is belt-marks. Hyesung is probably going to be suspicious about their insistence at this point, but it is what it is. Do-yoon turns towards Hyesung, pleading for him to continue to be understanding. Because, yeah, he can tell he's holding his tongue through a lot right now. ]

You said so earlier, bro. Handcuffs, rope... They sell that stuff everywhere here. We can hold him down without hurting him. [ Do-yoon looks back at Gyu-hyuk, placing a hand on his tied wrists. ] This isn't his fault.

[phaterstar]

[Yeah, the mark thing? That was weird to start with, but now it's just straight-up bizarre, and it shoots a hot wave of anger through Hyesung's body. What is up with these two and their issues with belts? What the hell happened? There's something he's not being told, here, and it makes him all the more angry. What, is it because he's younger than them? Are they making fun of him?

His lips quickly curl into a snarl, but there's still a faint undertone of unease in his voice. Gyu-hyuk's a vampire, Do-yoon is keeping things from him...this sucks! It sucks!]

Something wrong with tying them over his clothes?

[Exhaling sharply, Hyesung shoves his hands into his pockets.]

That won't leave a mark.

cw: suicide ideation

[scholarshipping]

[ It's strange, listening to them decide what to do with him. And yet, in another way it isn't at all. He'd imagined several times what it would look like, if Do-yoon had put all the pieces together. How Inha would want to rip him apart with her hands, Juyoung holding her back and trying to keep the peace, while formulating her own plan on how they'd hand him over to the authorities.

So it's strange, but it's something that's been coming for a long time. He feels weirdly at peace with it, sort of disassociating from the conversation as they bicker with what to do looking at the floor instead of them, until Hyesung's last comment when he looks up at both of them and shakes his head. ]

I don't care if they leave a mark.

[ He'd rather they did, really. He'd rather be wounded. He'd rather wear the scars to match what he'd done to the others. He knows what they really should do, of course, they should drive a wooden stake through his heart.

The only real problem is he'd just come back in two weeks. ]

If this is all we have and it's safest, then, please.

[showended]

[ If there's one thing Do-yoon has learned from all of these life-or-death situations, it's that Gyu-hyuk is in far too much of a rush to die. He can't understand it, where all this guilt comes from, but maybe it connects to why he'd had no trouble at all killing his doppelganger in the dream. Or why he'd given up so quickly when the nightmares had left him so injured. ]

Gyu-hyuk...

[ Gyu-hyuk is a risk. To himself, more than others. There's no need to treat him like he's some killer just because of some lapse of judgement and misguided rage. Of course, Do-yoon gets it too -- he'd nearly killed Hyesung, so there's no way he'd simply forget it. ]

There's... it says here they're working on a cure. But it could take days. We should buy something to make it easier. [ Do-yoon turns back to Hyesung. ] It's the candy growing around the city. If it had happened to you, would you want to be tied up like this?

[phaterstar]

[It's clear that Do-yoon's last remark hasn't settled well with Hyesung - his eyes flash with what he would describe as anger, but is, in reality, fear.]

I've never had to think about how to deal with a goddamn vampire, Do-yoon!

[Whirling around so that he's facing away from from his roommates, Hyesung places a hand over the wounds - or, at this point, marks - on his neck, muttering sharply to himself. His voice is low, but it's still possible to catch the odd curse. It would be so much easier to just...run out of the apartment, out into the city...but if the place is filled with candy that turns people into vampires...shit, he's probably safer here. At least this one is restrained. Better the devil you know....

That line of thought actually brings him to what he considers a decent question; without turning back to face Do-yoon:]

It could be dangerous out there. If there are others like him.

[There's a brief pause, before Hyesung finally shifts back around. He's still looking down at the floor, but the anger has drained away from his face.]

I don't wanna die, bro.

[scholarshipping]

[ one would think that someone who is already so broken can’t break anew, but Hyesung’s comment does it for him, and he’s close to crying at this point but he holds it back. ]

I’m sorry, I —

[ he sinks down on his knees in front of them both, looking down at his bound hands ]

You shouldn’t have to stay in here with me. Please, just so whatever you think is best.

[showended]

[ Between the two of them, Do-yoon is quickly realizing that he doesn't have enough hands to hold all these traumas...

No, he can do this. He cares about both of them. All he has to do is take charge. Everything will be fine. Even if nothing could have prepared him for literal vampires. ]

No one is going to die.

[ He answers with conviction. Everything will be fine. They have what they need. It's going to be okay. He has a plan, and it's better than the earlier one. He just has to address this one thing at a time. ]

Hyesung... we have enough food in the fridge to last a few days. We can stay in.

[ Of course, there's still the matter of his boyfriend. His very hot, very sad, very dangerous boyfriend. But Do-yoon isn't afraid of him. He kneels down to get closer and comfort him, stroking a hand over his back and trying to tilt his chin up. ]

Gyu-hyuk... We might have some better stuff in our bedroom. We can tie you to the bed, [ Okay, he's trying to be serious, but the mental image still makes him blush, ] That way you won't hurt anyone. But I can still help you if you get hungry.

[ And don't think he's forgotten Hyesung in all this. Do-yoon turns around, glancing at Hyesung. ]

Everyone's safe. How does that sound?

[phaterstar]

[It's clear that Hyesung still isn't feeling 100% comfortable with this plan, but...well. If he has to be honest, it's miles better than their last plan, and at least Gyu-hyuk seems to have calmed down. Right. Okay. Tying him to the bed (the...bed? hm) is a good idea.]

...sounds better than our last dumbass plan.

[Which didn't, if he remembers correctly, involve getting Do-yoon bitten, but! It seems to have worked out in the end....for now. Exhaling sharply again, Hyesung crosses his arms.]

You want some help? Tying him to the bed.

[....

that probably shouldn't sound as kinky as it does...thanks, Gyu-hyuk! Now he's thinking about your-

...

...he's not going to think about it!]

[scholarshipping]

[ Look, at least he did put his dick away while he was in the room by himself, so really, minor blessings here.

Gyu-hyuk allows Do-yoon to tilt his chin up, looking at him as he speaks. His heart races a little bit when Do-yoon offers himself, but he figures Hyesung will find a way to ruin that, too. ]

Alright.

[showended]

[ Do-yoon nods. With the two of them, they can get it done quicker, and realistically they aren't going to leave him tied up for however many days it takes. Do-yoon mostly wants to give Hyesung some peace of mind. If Do-yoon unties Gyu-hyuk after a few days, well, who's going to stop him?

He certainly intends to sleep by Gyu-hyuk's side, tied up or not. And vampires need blood. He's good with that too. Maybe if he just doesn't bring it up, Hyesung won't notice... ]

Okay. You can help.

[ Do-yoon nods at Hyesung's words, though he's still looking at Gyu-hyuk in what he hopes is a comforting gesture. Gyu-hyuk isn't to blame here, Do-yoon knows that. ]

I'm sorry I lied to you. [ Spoken softly, hopefully only for Gyu-hyuk to hear. ] I'll make it up to you.
