[Sora’s hungry. And he’s really cranky when he’s hungry.

The moon is high and bright in the sky and the night air is cold. He can barely feel the cold on his skin because his insatiable hunger is taking over. It feels like ants are crawling through his veins and the only thing that would stop the itching is feeding.

From his perch on top a building he spots a figure walking along the streets and a smile plays across his lips. Hello midnight snack!

Dropping to the ground silently, he follows the shadows and stalks his prey. A small playful laugh bubbles from his lips.]

[missingache]

[Whatever made Roxas think going out on a walk at midnight was a good idea... He really needs to get a better sleep schedule. It's cold, there's nothing to do, and he should have grabbed a warmer hoodie.

Nothing he can do about it now.

He's got his headphones turned down low enough where he hears the laugh and freezes in place. Did... he hear that right? He takes one of the earbud out, hoping to catch that noise again. When there's nothing, he sighs, puts the earbud back in, and starts heading home.

Maybe Roxas should stop for some coffee along the way. Or... something not caffeinated.]

[oathkeeper]

[Oh, distracted prey! That makes it a little easy. Time to play some games! Sora has a habit of playing with his food and there are none of his friends here to tell him no. What a perfect night!

When he’s sure the boy is distracted by his music he silently creeps up behind him to blow air gently on the nape of his neck before hiding in the darkness again. Oh the joy of vampire speed and silence.

When under the cover of the shadows again he rubs his nose. The boy smells good. The itching gets worse.]

[missingache]

[That certainly gets a reaction. Roxas squeaks and jumps, looking around wildly. His heart races hard enough that he's sure any potential passerby could hear it. It's gotta be paranoia. Yeah. Lack of decent sleep does this to people, right?

He takes a shaky breath as he pulls his phone out of his pocket. Maybe he should message someone to come meet him... but all of his friends are either going to be drunk or asleep. So phone goes back into his pocket.]

Just a breeze. Right? That's... that's it.

[Rationalizing it doesn't make it any less scary. Roxas decides that walking faster is the way to go. Please just let it be lack of sleep.]

[oathkeeper]

[Heh! That reaction makes Sora grin widely. Cute! React like that again!

It’s the walking away fast that snaps Sora into predator mode. No, you’re not allowed to go anywhere, cute midnight snack… He leaps through the darkness so he’s several paces ahead of the blond. On the wind he whispers quietly,]

Heading home already...?

[missingache]

[Defintely needs sleep. Roxas did not just see someone jumping out in front of him. Why is his second thought that this guy was cute??? He lets himself glance around to see if anyone else has shown up.]

Do I know you?

[Roxaa slips his hand into his pockets, one hand grasping his phone, the other his housekey. It's not the greatest weapon, but better than nothing...]

Look, if you're trying to rob me you're not gonna get anything useful.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora tilts his head and taps his chin as if it's a super hard question.]

Hmmmm. Do you know me? Nah. But I think I know a bit about you.

[There's a lot a vampire can tell by smell and the way a human heart beats when it's startled.

He beams mischievously his fangs bearing slightly. Are you worried, cute midnight snack?]

No stealing! I'm just a bit curious, that's all.

[missingache]

[What? That Roxas is an idiot who shouldn't walk around at midnight?]

... Are you stalking me?

[Because that's creepy and why?

....... First thought? One of those freaks who file their teeth down. Second thought is more of a "Yep. Sleep deprived. Vampires don't exist." He takes a few steps back.]

Go be curious about someone else. I just wanna go home.

[oathkeeper]

[Well... he is stalking him. For certain reasons. But he's been a vampire for enough decades to know that a lot of humans don't really like hearing that for some reason.]

You looked cute, I wanted to say hi!

[Don't worry, he'll let you go home eventually. Sora doesn't like to kill humans. He's not like the others. He just needs a taste...]

Let's talk for a little bit! I'm not mean, I promise.

[missingache]

[The problem with cats is that sometimes they just aren't that social. Some just don't like being around others. Humans always seemed to want to be with other humans, even if they say otherwise. Being in between gave you very limited options about who to be around. Depending on just how non-human you were, you sometimes got lucky and had many more options.

This one was just too stubborn to want to be around his own or other kinds due to a certain... flaw.

Hood pulled all the way forward, Roxas stalks around the empty streets. Something was going on further in town apparently, so it made for a nice and quiet night. He wasn't particularly looking for anything to do. Since there was still a day or so till the next full moon, it was okay to run into the occasional human. That is until something catches his attention. Someone around him smells really nice... Hmmm...

He stops and pretends to be busy with his phone and wait for whoever it was to walk by.]

[oathkeeper]

[The thing about university deadlines is that Sora isn't very good at them. So he's up late trying to scramble the last half of his assignment together while frantically texting his friends to give him a hand (which promptly falls on deaf... phones. Thanks.).

When he's finally done it's late and he's starving. So a quick run to the convenience store to pick up some microwave garbage is the way to go.

He's just checking his phone one last time for emails when he brushes shoulders with someone by accident.

Sora looks up and smiles apologetically,] Oh, sorry wasn't looking where I was going! [Before he turns to the way he was going, humming a tune on his lips.]

[missingache]

[Oh how glad he is that his ears are covered because else they would be twitching like crazy. Roxas just shrugs at the apology, giving the other enough of a glance to know just what his... target (???) looks like.

Now his head felt like it was spinning after that bump. Was he hungry? That human was carrying food, but it didn't smell like it was even cooked. Whatever the smell was, he wants to find out.

Sorry, human, Roxas is going to start stalking you now. He's gotta know!!!]

[oathkeeper]

[He lets out a tiny yawn as he heads back down the street and glances up at the sky. It's a little chilly out because of the November air but it's nice.

He's takes a bite of his chicken wrap and he gets that weird feeling up his spine that someone is watching him. He glances over his shoulder briefly.]

...?

[That's weird. Probably just the wind. So he'll continue and start singing softly under his breath too.]

[missingache]

[Stopping dead in his tracks, he waits till the other starts walking again before following. That was a little too close.

Maybe he is hungry... Whatever that human was eating must be good. He's always been jealous of what they got to eat. It wasn't raw meats all the time. Humans didn't eat raw meat, at least not like how his kind does.

It's the quieter and more secluded part of a neighborhood that gives him enough courage to get right up behind the young man. His arm shoots out, wrapping around the others waist, pulling him against Roxas. Without a word he nuzzles the others neck and sighs softly.

This is definitely the nice scent that caught his attention.]

[oathkeeper]

[Suddenly he's not nearly as chilly as he was a second ago as someone wraps his arms around him and pulls him close. Sora yelps in surprise and drops his dinner on the ground as his shoulders go tense. A small tremor of a shiver goes up his spine at the nuzzle. What is happening??????]

H-Hey!!

[He shoves at the person and turns around, eyes wide with shock.]

What's the big idea?!

[missingache]

[Holding on would have been easy. There was no way a mere human would have been able to just shove Roxas away if he was determined to hurt someone. This one.... This one was not to be killed. At least not yet.

He watches the other quietly before looking down at the wrap. Now that he can really smell it, that thing masking itself as food was unappealing. Back to the question now.

You smell nice.

[It's a reply that is accompanied with a rather toothy grin. Which might just be ruined by something twitching visibly under his hood.]

[oathkeeper]

[Now that Sora is getting a better look at the other Sora recognizes it as the boy who he bumped into earlier.

And before he can complain about his lost dinner and how the blond owes him a dinner date now, Sora is startled again by that comment.]

...Huh?

[Sora just blinks, unsure of really what to do. He's kind of curious now though as he stares at that movement under the hood. Is there something in there?]

....Thanks?

[oathkeeper]

[Surprisingly, the next few weeks fly by for Sora. With school finishing term finals before winter break Sora had more than enough to keep him busy. But when not getting all that done he spent a ton of time with Roxas as well. Some of his friends complained that he wasn’t around much that month but when Sora tried to explain the story always came out strange to them so Sora just shrugged them off.

But between school, practice and Roxas... Sora was pretty happy. Even with all the weening they’ve been doing (a lot of sushi). And after the last day of classes Sora busts through the front door and throws his bag to the floor with a clatter and kicks off his shoes. He’s obviously a little more careful with his acoustic guitar case and sets it aside like a precious treasure.]

I’m free forever!! [ ... Or at least until after New Year’s.]

[missingache]

[No complaints from Roxas on the spending time with Sora part. While Sora was in class, Roxas just kind of wandered around in his cat form, watching people. There was a couple of times where someone tried to take him home since he looked like a stray, and then there was the Human Society officer who tried to take him into the vets office thinking he was a feral tom. He got away before he could get "fixed" as they put it and have one of his ears docked. Of course none of these things were told to Sora.

Since Roxas didn't know when Sora would be home again, there's a fluffy yellow cat sleeping on a heating vent. It's nice and warm and easier to sleep on while you're a cat. He's so comfortable he sleeps right through the noise Sora was making.]

[oathkeeper]

[He pulls off his coat and scarf and pads down the hall. He's about to call out to see if Roxas is here as he rounding into the room. But just as he peeks in he spots the cat curled up on the vent. His expression changes from surprise to curios wonder pretty quickly. Since he's pretty sure he didn't own a cat before and that blond yellow color is unmistakably recognizable.

He quietly makes his way over and moves to lay down on his belly and folds his arms under his chin to watch Roxas nap for a second. Grinning, he carefully reaches out to touch Roxas' fur. He can't resist how cute Roxas is right now. He starts at Roxas' neck and scratches and massages gently before trailing his hand all the way down Roxas' back. So soft...!]

[missingache]

[Sora gets a soft chirp in response, but Roxas stays asleep for the most part. Until his back is petted. He stretches out and yawns, big blue eyes turning staring at Sora...... Oh. He's never been a cat around Sora.

Stretching as he gets up, he bumps his head against the others cheek, purring softly. He's been waiting all day for you!]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora chuckles warmly when Roxas head bumps him and reaches to scratch Roxas' neck again and all the way up to behind Roxas' ears before affectionately moving to his cheeks.]

Hello sleepyhead. [Sora says softly, trying to resist the urge to bop his nose against Roxas' cold cat one.]

[missingache]

[Oh gosh he is so happy right now if the loud purring is any indication. Roxas nuzzles Sora again before stalking off into another room. If Sora follows, well, he won't see the cat anymore. Nor much of anything. Roxas is doing his best not to give himself away, standing behind the door in his human form.

Let's see if he can scare Sora.]

[oathkeeper]

Hey!

[Where the heck is Roxas going? Sora was getting cute cat cuddles... Come back!!

Sora rolls over and gets up before trying to follow Roxas, completely oblivious to the rest of this secret plan.]

Roxas?

[missingache]

[Waiting till Sora was in the room, Roxas slips in behind him, wrapping his arms around the brunettes waist like their first meeting. Except this time his hands go under Sora's shirt to feel him up as Roxas starts nuzzling and kissing the others neck. ]

Classes over for the semester?
