Chapter Text
You sighed as you tossed your phone down next to you on the couch, disappointed that you still hadn’t heard from Mikey. You had been dating for almost six months and things were going really well. You had met his family and you spent a lot of time together, you were certain you were falling for him. You thought there was a chance you would end up together when he suddenly ghosted you.
The way he seemingly dropped off the face of the earth left you so concerned that you reached out to his brother to make sure he was ok.
“If Mikey doesn’t want to see me, I’ll leave him alone, but I just wanted to make sure he was ok,” you explained.
“(YN) I promise he’s ok. He’s just going through something, and as soon as he’s able, he’ll reach out to you,” Gerard promised.
But tonight was the night you had told yourself that you were giving up if you hadn’t heard from him. You looked at the clock, it was about time for you to go to bed.
“I guess that’s it then,” you muttered as you turned off your TV and started shutting off the lights. You were just about to walk into your bedroom when you heard a strange noise outside. You jumped, and then crept toward the door as silently as possible, hoping whoever, or whatever, was on the other side wouldn’t hear you, and pressed your eye to the peephole and wished Mikey was there to protect you.
You didn’t see any animals, or anything that could have been creating the strange noise, so you opened your door and stepped outside onto your front step.
Suddenly a force had you by the neck, back pressed against your front door. It took your brain a moment to register that it was a person, but it also wasn’t, the snarling fangs gave that away.
“Perfect, a meal in the moonlight,” the vampire taunted.
You were about to open your mouth to scream when the vampire was pulled away from you and tossed across your yard effortlessly.
“Mikey!” you gasped as you realized it was him.
“Get inside!” he shouted before turning his attention back to the creature that was getting up and squaring up to him. You scrambled inside and shut and locked the door behind you. Eyes shut tight you sank with your back pressed against the door. You heard the fight and then it was over and almost jumped out of your skin when there was a knock on the door behind you.
“Mikey, what is going on? Are you ok? Where have you been?” you asked as soon as you opened the door.
“(YN), I’m so sorry for the last few weeks,” he said immediately, hanging his head. You noticed he seemed paler and had dark circles under his eyes. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. “Can I come in?”
“Yea, of course, come in,” you said opening the door wider and ushering him in. He came in and sat down on your sofa with another sigh.
“Remember how I mentioned my brother is kinda different?” He asked. You nodded, furrowing your brow, wondering what he was getting at. “Gerard is, umm, a vampire.”
“What? Is that why there was a vampire trying to make a meal of me just now?” You asked not sure your believed what you were hearing.
“Yea, some stuff went down a couple weeks ago and I’m a vampire now. Yeehaw and all that shit.”
“Y-yeehaw?” you stammered, wide eyed. This had to be some bizarre dream. You must have fallen asleep waiting for him to call. You started pinching your arm, trying to wake yourself up.
“(YN), what are you doing?”
“Trying to wake up, this clearly is a dream,” you replied, pinching harder. Mikey reached out and took both of your hands.
“(YN), I know this sounds crazy, but it’s not a dream. I’m a vampire,” he said forlornly. “I understand if you never wanna see me again, it’s ok. I just wanted you to know what was going on.” He placed a kiss on the back of each of your hands and got up.
“Mikey, wait,” he turned to look at you. “I believe you. And I want you to tell me what the hell is going on.”
Before you knew it, it was the middle of the night. Mikey didn’t want to talk too much about the events leading up to him getting changed, as the less you knew, the safer you would be at this point. He did confirm that he couldn’t be out in the sunlight, but he now could run faster and jump higher and his senses were heightened.
“What are you doing for…” you paused, looking down, unsure how to word what was on your mind.
“Food?” He finished.
“Yea,” you replied cringing.
“Its ok. Gerard is helping me out. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna bite you.
You smiled up at him. “So, I guess we’re done with brunch dates, huh?”
“Sorry,” he said with a sad smile. “(YN), are you ok with this? With me being a vampire? You don’t have to be, I can leave.”
“I’m just so glad you’re back. We’ll make some adjustments, we’ll figure it out.”
Mikey smiled a tight lipped smile, still uneasy flashing his fangs. He leaned in and pressed his lips to yours gently. You reached up and wrapped your hands around his neck to pull him closer and deepened the kiss. His hands found your waist and pulled you against him.
When he pulled back and rested his forehead against yours, he let his eyes search yours for any hint of uncertainty or apprehension. “(YN), thank you for understanding. I… I love you.”
“I love you too Mikey.”
