Junghan had been expecting his arrival like one would eagerly await the arrival of a parcel. He had contacted his men frequently for updates out the capture. His long dead heart almost started beating again when he heard they had the young vampire in their grasp.
The elder vampire had heard much about him, though much of the talk centered around how the man had a youthful appearance even before he turned. The excitement he had to finally lay eyes on this man was indescribable, and everyone knew it. His men worked hard to keep the other man unharmed in his capture and transport, while also vowing to end Junghan’s long wait.
As the sun began to rise, Junghan’s men returned with a very irritable young vampire in tow. Junghan kept his expression neutral, yet he almost wanted to smile. This little rule breaker.. was attractive, as young looking as the others has said. His men followed his orders to a T, his beautiful face left unharmed. The drugs they had used on him left him weak, but in the slowed blinks of the younger vampire’s eyelids, Junghan saw fiery red irises. Hungry.
The perfect status for Junghan to assert his rule over this man.
Junghan left him chained until the drugs began to wear off and a bit more fight entered his body. He’d be lying if he didn’t spend those hours watching every twitch and turn of the other man’s drugged form. It was peaceful almost, though Junghan knew certainly what was to come.
Hours passed before there was a violent shake of the chains against the floor, and the young vampire is finally awake. Junghan’s guards instantly rush him, with two individuals on his arms and another arm keeping the man’s head in a headlock, his thrashing ceased immediately. Immobilized or not, he faced no threat, yet seeing the younger vampire restrained in such a way was exciting. He wore every sensation on his face, now alive with expression after so long. He was baring his fangs- in an attempt of intimidation Junghan didn’t know.
“Junsu, welcome.” Junghan was the first to speak, which was pleasing. The other man had at least some social training.
“How do you know my name?” With the grip on his neck, each word came out just barely above a whisper. It didn’t matter if his men messed with his air supply, it’s not like he could die from it.
“It wouldn’t be fitting of a master not know his subjects by face and name.” Junghan knelt down to Junsu’s level, fingers caressing his cheek. Junsu attempted to flinch away, yet was unsuccessful. He was going to receive Junghan’s affections whether he wanted them or not.
“I am not-“ Junghan simply placed his hand over Junsu’s mouth before he could finish the statement.
“But you are, dear boy. Turning was not your choice, but whether you continue to live is.” Junsu’s eyes widened at that, and Junghan removed his hand, before rising once again.
“W-What do you mean by that?” Junsu’s voice trembled, and he was clearly panicked. It was so cute.
“From coast to coast, from the very northern border of this country to the very tip- It is all my territory, under my rule, as it has been for hundreds of years. And with that, the vampires of this country do not so carelessly hunt humans as you have. Which is why you are here.” As Junghan spoke, he could see the gears working in Junsu’s mind, “The unscrupulous vampire that turned you broke my rules, and he has been dealt with. No other human will meet your fate because of him. Due to how you came into this, you are ignorant, not malicious. You are controlled by your primal desires, not by me, and we can’t have that, can we?”
It’s a rhetorical question, yet Junsu’s mouth moved to answer.
“Your.. rules?”
“Yes, dear. Rules for how the vampires of my territory are to conduct themselves if they wish to live. Breaking them results in the death by my hand or at the hands of a human. Though, there are far too many to get into in a silly discussion such as this.”
“Are you really going to kill me?”
“If you give me your loyalty, your obedience, your servitude… I have no reason to. You’ve made a grave mistake though Junsu, but I will be lenient with you. This is your chance to learn, to walk the straight and narrow path, to do as I say.” Junghan waved a hand at the guards, and their grip on him eased instantly. In moments, Junsu was finally left on his own for the first time since he had come
“How.. When.. What did I do?” Junsu stares at his hands, cuffed into heavy chains.
“As you learn, you will realize your mistake. That is, if you are willing to do so. I won’t waste my time on those not willing to change.” The younger vampire finally raises his gaze to meet Junghan’s, and they glisten with tears threatening to fall.
“I want to live… I will learn.”
“Then I will teach you. You will stay with me here until you are ready to be released again, until you can conduct yourself to my standards. There will be no next time, as I do not usually grant this mercy to those who disobey.”
“I will-“ Though there is no pressure on his neck now, Junsu’s voice is barely at a whisper, “I will obey.”
“The first thing you will learn,” Junghan takes a step forward, his boots know within distance of Junsu, “Is how to greet your master.” Junsu balks at the statement. An attitude he would not usually tolerate, yet it is so adorable coming from Junsu, “Don’t act so surprised. Give them a good shining and maybe I will take your cuffs off. Or don’t,” Junghan shrugs, “I don’t particularly care if you live or not.”
Junsu lowers his face to one of Junghan’s boots, and he licks. A shy, small lick, but a lick nonetheless. Without prompting, he continues. Just as everything he does, it is adorable to Junghan. He will never admit it, but Junsu has quickly become one of his favorites. There is a feistiness in Junsu that dies at any hint of confrontation. He’s wonderfully submissive, despite his pathetic attempts to act like anything but. There’s a rush that comes with every word Junghan speaks to him, something he hasn’t felt in years. It’s enough to make Junghan reconsider ever letting this little vampire go.
