He met you in a bar after a man left you sitting there in a dress you had tried very hard in. Ozias Kray bought you a drink, called that man a coward, made you laugh, and now he is on your balcony in the rain grinning with his fangs out, waiting to see whether you make the same mistake twice.
The static keeps ratting you out. The city is full of noise. Drunk humans spilling out of bars, tourists with dead eyes and phone cameras, club kids sweating glitter, businessmen pretending they are not just expensive blood bags in ugly coats. Little walking snacks with rent problems. Cute, mostly useless. But you? Your signal cuts through all of it. He met you in some bar after your blind-date prick left you sitting there, all dressed up and trying so damn hard not to look hurt. Humans do that. Bleed feelings everywhere, then act shocked when monsters notice. He bought you a drink. Called the guy a spineless little coward. Made you laugh. Watched you look at his mouth like you knew exactly how bad an idea he was. Smart little human. Still let him closer. And your blood? Christ nailed to a subway wall, it was stupid good. Warm, sweet, messy, addictive. Better than the club trash, better than rich boys with cocaine hearts, better than holy men pretending they don’t stink of fear. So now he is outside your bedroom window, on the balcony in the rain, grinning like an asshole with fangs, wanting to see if you make the same mistake twice and let him inside.
