Chapter Text

“Come back here you bitch!” Tommy screams as he chases after Wilbur. He hates the fact the older vampire is out running him with little trouble. Wilbur is even looking back at him with a huge grin just to mock him more.

Wilbur just laughs and uses his longer legs to keep out of Tommy’s reach. He is only using a little bit of his vampiric speed to keep out of the hands of the younger vampire. Being older means he has a huge advantage over the other and he was going to use every last bit of it.

Phil had suggested the two do something to burn off the extra energy they had. Wilbur took this as tackling Tommy and tickling the younger until he couldn’t take any more. Once Tommy got free, he swore he was going to kill the other and now they are doing laps around the clearing.

The cows watched the pair as they passed by once again. They had gotten use to how loud Tommy could be and didn’t flee from him anymore.

Tubbo and Ranboo stand watching the two with a smile on their face. They had been in a discussion about bees before Tommy had drawn their attention with his yelling. They could both see that Tommy was not going to be able to lay a hand on Wilbur any time soon.

“You know you could join in and help.” Phil tilts his head a little to look at Tubbo. He could feel the restless energy radiating off the fledgling. Tubbo was just better at hiding it and putting it into something less destructive than his coven member.

Tubbo shifts a little closer to Ranboo and nods. “I know, but I don’t want to worry about Ranboo.” It’s not that Tubbo didn’t trust Phil, but he was still careful with leaving Ranboo alone with anyone other than Tommy or Techno.

“Nothing is going to happen to him. He is strong enough to take care of himself and this whole area is safe.” Phil makes a point to look around the clearing before looking at Tubbo again.

Tubbo eyes the elder vampire for a moment before giving Ranboo a look. He knew he was being overprotective of his friend. Phil had told them they would start claiming things as theirs and that did mean people and animals. Ranboo was one of those things Tubbo had a hard time leaving even for a moment.

Ranboo just offers a smile and motions towards the two running. He even goes as far as putting his hand on his friend’s back and nudging him forward. “Go help Tommy before he really does try to murder Wilbur.”

Tubbo returns the smile and waits until the pair pass by closer to start to move. He can see Wilbur is so focused on Tommy that he is not even watching his surroundings.

Wilbur is looking backwards and misses Tubbo until the younger has tackled him to the ground. The older vampire is taken so much by surprise he forgets he can overpower the fledgling. He just stares up at Tubbo for a long moment letting his mind settle on how well the attack had taken him by surprise.

Tommy lets out a sound of victory and jumps onto Wilbur with a wild grin. “Payback time bitch!” He wastes no time in assaulting Wilbur’s side like the older had done to him only minutes ago.

Turns out it is hard to keep two sets of hands at bay with only one set. Wilbur is quickly overwhelmed and begging for mercy. He will not find any from the fledglings and he knows it.

It takes a solid two minutes for Wilbur to remember he is stronger and flips Tommy over onto his stomach and wrap his arms around Tubbo. He makes sure to keep Tommy down by sitting on him leaving his hands free to start tickling Tubbo for interfering.

Phil just laughs watching the younger vampires before turning to Ranboo. “Looks like they could use some more help.” He is sure the young god would love nothing more then to aid his friends but might think he shouldn’t step in.

Ranboo eyes the pile of vampires for a moment. “You sure it is safe? I don’t want to get bitten or something.” Ranboo remembers the blood thirsty look Wilbur had not long ago when the older vampire had fallen into a bloodlust.

“No one is going to bite you.” Phil pats Ranboo’s shoulder gently. “Everyone is in control of themselves. It is more likely one of the fledgling’s loss control.”

Ranboo looks to think it over before nodding to himself. He starts to move closer making sure to circle around behind Wilbur. Quickly slipping his arms under the older vampires, he picks him up. Ranboo surprises himself with how easy it is and laughs when Wilbur yelps.

“Hey you are cheating! Three against one is not fair!” Wilbur tries to struggle but finds he can’t get his arms free. His eyes dart between the two fledgling in front of him. “Let’s talk this out guys...”

“Revenge bitch!” Tommy gets up and grins taking a moment to brush the dirt and grass off himself. There is a look of glee in his eyes he steps closer.

“Can’t let you get away with tickling me when I was just helping out a friend.” Tubbo climbs to his feet as well and sends a grin over Wilbur’s head at Ranboo. “You mess with one of us, you have to deal with all of us.”

Wilbur lets out a scream that turns into laugher as the fledglings tickle his exposed sides. He tries his best to get free from Ranboo’s hold without using any extra strength. He can’t focus well enough to truly fight off the three young beings.

Techno steps outside to see who is being murdered and can’t help but laugh seeing Wilbur trying to keep the two fledglings away well being held barely off the ground by Ranboo. He walks over to Phil and nudges the elder vampire to get his attention.

“Seems like they are burning off a lot of energy.” Techno is happy to see everyone getting along so well. Having the two fledglings and young god around had made life a lot more interesting. He loved his quiet life, but this change was also welcomed. He would never admit it out loud but he was loving the new chaos.

“It started with Wilbur and Tommy and turned into this.” Phil grins before turning to the blood god. “Careful not to catch their attention. I think they would all jump on the next thing they see.” The elder vampire rocks on his heels for a moment. “Not sure either of us could handle four of them at once.”

Techno nods and eyes the pile of young beings carefully. “At least they should be tired by the end of it.” It was nice when all of them went to sleep at the same time. Made for a quiet day until one of them woke and started to make trouble again.

“If not, I don’t know what else to do.” Phil leans into Techno’s side listening to Wilbur beg for mercy with his screeching laugh.

Chapter Text

Ranboo opens an eye and stares down at Tommy who is currently burying his face in Ranboo’s chest. He knows the young vampire is sleeping and just seeking out his warmth. He looks up at the window trying to judge what time it is. He guesses it is still day because the two vampires are still asleep.

Tubbo makes a mumbling sound from behind him and rolls over freeing up some space. A pillow is hugged close to his chest as he mumbles something else and settles.

Ranboo uses that extra space to roll away from Tommy so he can sit up and look around. Something had woken him up and he was not sure what it was. Just a feeling, but the feeling was not going away. He wonders if he can just go back to sleep but he feels like he needs to get up.

He carefully scoots forward and takes apart the wall of the nest so he can get out. He does his best in remaking the part he moved. He knows that it is not perfect, but the nest was already messed up from them just sleeping. He doesn’t think it is weird the others are missing because they don’t always sleep in the same room.

Making his way out of the room he thinks he should at least get some water or something to eat. He is awake and so he might as well put that to good use. Maybe he can help Techno with some chores before the sun goes down. He still feels like he needs to do something around the farm because the older god had been kind enough to take them in.

A quick check into the living room shows it to be empty. No surprise there, Techno is normally out doing something. Making his way to the kitchen he spots Wilbur sitting at the table and freezes upon making eye contact.

Wilbur’s eyes snap up and meet Ranboo’s. A smile plays across his face giving him a crazed look. He lifts a finger to his lips telling the younger to stay quiet.

Ranboo can feel the drag of a thrall starting to happen and lets out shuttering breath without thinking. Something in him screams not again, he can’t let this happen again.

Wilbur’s eyes flicker darker for a moment, and he stands without making a noise, eyes never leaving Ranboo’s. He would have moved around the table if it was not for a hand suddenly on his shoulder keeping him in place.

“Wilbur, don’t you dare.” Techno growls lowly from behind Wilbur. A heavy weight seems to settle on everyone in the room for a moment before disappearing.

Ranboo is suddenly able to take a step back and the feeling slowly starts to fade. He drags his eyes away from Wilbur to look at Techno. He didn’t even know the other was in the same room as them. All he knows was Wilbur was trying to thrall him and he suddenly was really scared.

Wilbur frowns and slowly turns to Techno offering up a tooth filled grin. “Don’t know what you are talking about.”

Techno tightens his grip for a moment. “I could see the look of terror on his face. You said you would sit here and not cause any problems.” He makes eye contact with Wilbur and almost challenges him to say more.

Wilbur tilts his head and lets his eyes wander back to Ranboo. “True, but I changed my mind.”

Ranboo avoids eye contact and takes another step back. His heart is beating so hard he can hardly hear anything over it. He wonders if the others can hear it as well or if it is just him.

Techno sighs and knocks the chair into the back of Wilbur’s legs forcing him to sit. “It’s alright Ranboo. Wilbur is not going to do anything. We are just waiting for night to fall so Wilbur can go and deal with his bloodlust. Phil thought it would be a good idea to let the younger see what it looked like.”

Wilbur huffs and crosses his arms glaring at Techno. “That is why he left me with you and went out on his own. Leave you with the problem.”

Techno ignores the vampire and moves back over to the counter to continue what he was doing. “Didn’t think anyone would be up for another few hours. Wilbur wouldn’t dare sneak into your room. But with you here in the kitchen where he can see you, he had a lapse in control.”

Wilbur wrinkles his nose and leans forward to put his arms on the table and settle his head down on them. His eyes follow Ranboo’s movement trying to catch his eyes again.

“Should I go back to the room?” Ranboo makes it a point in not looking at Wilbur but keeping an eye on him from the corner of his eye.

“No, it should be fine. Sure, Wilbur is fast when he wants to be, but he is not as stupid or far enough gone as to attack someone in my house.” Techno turns and places a raw piece of meat on a plate down beside Wilbur.

Wilbur turns his head a little to look at the meat and wrinkles his nose again. “I don’t want cow meat.” He whines put pushes himself up and drags the plate closer. “Don’t taste good right now.”

Techno pats Wilbur’s shoulder before turning his attention back to the young god looking ready to flee. “Would you like some steak because you are already up? I was going to make some anyways for dinner.”

Ranboo fidgets with the sleeve of his shirt for a long time before nodding. He some how missed the fact he was hungry, but the offer of food makes his stomach growl.

“You can have a seat. I will get it ready for us well Wilbur enjoys his snack.” Techno starts cooking two pieces of meat. “Just try to not lock eyes with him. He is in control but has always been a shit about his bloodlust. As he says and I quote ‘They offered their arm, how could I say no?’”

Wilbur turns to glare at Techno again trying to murder him with his eyes. “I did that one time!” He bares his fangs for a moment before huffing.

Techno snorts. “You have done it four time that I know of.” Techno sends a look at Wilbur with a raised eyebrow.

Wilbur opens his mouth then clicks it shut and turns to chew on this plate of meat. His eyes wander back to Ranboo to track his movement again.

Ranboo eyes Wilbur carefully wanting to trust Techno in the knowledge that Wilbur will not leap across the table at him as soon as he is close. He takes two steps forward before taking a deep breath and moving carefully to the table and pulling out a chair. He can feel Wilbur’s eyes following his movements but tries to ignore it. Techno had promised he was safe here with him. He just had to have faith in the older.

Ranboo still has nightmares about what happened when he was under the thrall of Dream. Seeing the look in Wilbur’s eyes brings up some of the memories. Plus, the fact the vampire across the table from him might still be trying to thrall him.

“So, what does a bloodlust mean?” Ranboo finds himself asking watching Techno flip the meat he is cooking. He flicks his eyes towards Wilbur for a moment not sure who he is asking the question to.

Wilbur smiles with his fangs. “Means I want to hunt something down and drain it of all it’s blood. Preferably something humanoid.” He lowers his meat back onto the plate. “Anything less tastes bad and doesn’t satisfy that deep hunger that over comes me.” His eyes flash dangerously.

Techno walks over and hits Wilbur in the back of the head and nudges the plate closer. “It is something most vampires go through during their life. The older one gets the less it happens. Phil knows a lot more about it then I do. Normally during the start of it the Sire takes the fledgling out to feed. The sooner it is addressed the easier it is to handle. This time Phil wanted to show what it looked like so he is out seeing if he can convince a villager to lend them some blood.”

“I don’t want cold blood.” Wilbur ducks his head and pokes at his meat for a moment. “I want it to be warm and from the source.”

“Do you have enough control for that?” Techno moves back over to the cooking meat and pulls them off to plate them.

“Yes, I have enough control.” Wilbur snaps and glares at Techno once again. “I have gone through lots of bloodlusts and have not killed anyone. This one is just the worst because I have to wait longer.” He pushes the plate away and puts his head down on his arms again. “I know why and I ever volunteered for it, but I’m just impatient about it.”

“How often do they happen?” Ranboo pokes at a scratch on the table.

“Depends on the vampire. Phil rarely ever goes through it because of some bull shit reason about being so old or whatever.” Wilbur buries his face into his arms and sighs. “I would say I go through one everyone few years? There are a lot of ways to drive them off for longer, but I normally avoid those because it is messy.”

Techno sets a plate down in front of Ranboo and sits beside Wilbur. “Most vampires drink human blood regularly. Ones that focus on animal blood go into a bloodlust more often. Some vampires just lock themselves away until it passes. Some just enter the middle of a village and let themselves go wild.”

Ranboo nods along and reaches for the knife Techno had places beside his plate. “So, cow blood is not enough to keep a vampire alive?”

“Old habits die hard.” Wilbur giggles into his arms and peeks one eye out to stare at Ranboo. “Something wired into being a vampire. Can’t just change everything about what you are.”

“It can be enough yes. But Wilbur and Phil are not always here and find other ways to get something to eat. Normally they pay off a villager or a traveler.” Techno takes a bite of his steak and looks to be thinking.

The next ten minutes pass without much happening. Wilbur goes back to chewing on his raw meat well watching Ranboo. Techno finishes his meal and answers a few more questions Ranboo has. Ranboo just ignores Wilbur and keeps his eyes on Techno.

“What happens if Tommy or Tubbo goes into a bloodlust?” The question pops up suddenly in Ranboo’s mind.

“It is likely to happen. From what Phil told me it normally happens within the first month of turning. But because you have a close bond with both, they will seek out someone else to hunt.”

“Oh.” Ranboo relaxes a little knowing he will not just wake up to one of them biting him.

“There is also normally a lead up to it.” Wilbur mumbles and runs a nail along a grove in the wood table. “A hunger they will not be able to satisfy until they drink a lot of blood. Fledglings often over drink and get sick from it.”

“Sick how?” Ranboo carefully looks at Wilbur avoiding his eyes.

“Like puking out their guts. And because they puke everything up, they are still hungry and go to find more to eat and the cycle continues.” Wilbur closes his eyes and sighs deeply. “A waste of good blood.”

“Also, a good way for a hunter to find out about a vampire and come looking for them. That is why most fledglings follow their sire around for so long to learn and the protection the older vampire offers.” Techno leans back in his chair and looks out the window.

“But Tommy and Tubbo are not with their sires…” Ranboo looks nervously down the hallway.

“True. It will be interesting to see what happens. Phil will for sure try to take up the role and lead the down the right path. But it will never be the same as their real sire.” Techno follows Ranboo’s look down the hallway. “But they are in good hands here. Phil is more then capable of keeping them in line. Plus, Wilbur is here to help as well when he feels better.”

“I feel fine.” Wilbur mumbles and sighs. “Just hungry and impatient and want to bite something.”

“You have meat to bite.” Techno points to the plate beside Wilbur.

Wilbur sighs and picks up his meat again. “Bloodlust also makes your fangs hurt and want to be in something. It is like teething and I hate it more then the hunger.” He bites into the meat and chews it well looking at Techno.

Ranboo stays to help Techno with some chores inside and makes sure to stick close to his side. He keeps an eye on Wilbur but doesn’t have any more trouble with him because he doesn’t make eye contact.

Wilbur just sits at the table and goes between staring at random things and chewing on the meat beside him. He even puts his head down a few times and closes his eyes and just hums to himself.

Tubbo is the first to appear from the hallway and hardly notices Wilbur. He just makes his way over to Ranboo and leans into him mumbling. “Why did you get up and leave me along with Tommy. He was being so clingy and tries to suffocate me in my sleep.”

Tommy appears and pauses seeing Wilbur tilting his head. “You look like shit.” He squints at the older vampire. “You need more sun.”

Wilbur laughs and looks up at Tommy. “Thanks, I will take that to heart and get a little more sun time in.”

Techno turns to the two that just entered. “Here, have some raw meat. I had to get some for Wilbur so you can have some as well.” He offers up the two plates to the fledglings.

Tubbo leans away from Ranboo to make grabby hands at the plate. He frowns when Techno holds it up out of his reach.

“Sit at the table. I don’t want you dropping it onto the floor well trying to eat it with one hand.” Techno moves over to place the plates down.

Tommy pulls out a chair and studies Wilbur. “What’s wrong with you. You keep eyeing up Ranboo and I’m not liking it too much.” Tommy is suddenly feeling protective seeing the way Wilbur’s eyes keep wandering.

“Hungry and he looks bite able.” Wilbur switches over to looking at Tommy and grins showing off his fangs.

Tubbo clings to Ranboo and glares at Wilbur’s back. “You try that, and I will rip out your throat and stuff it down your throat.”

Ranboo blinks. “What?”

“Doesn’t matter.” Tubbo tucks himself into Ranboo and glares a little more. “You even look at him again and I swear I will find a way to kill you.”

“No need for any of that. In an hour he will be out of the house, and you will not have to worry. He is going through bloodlust at the moment.” Techno pats Wilbur on the shoulder before turning to Tubbo. “Also, no killing in my house.”

Tubbo glares at Techno.

“Bloodlust?” Tommy leans back and starts bouncing his leg. “Like wanting to rip out someone’s throat and bath in their blood.”

Wilbur nods. “Indeed. Just a slight problem with that is everyone in this house I’m not allowed to bite because Techno is being an ass about it.”

“If you want to blame someone blame Phil. He wanted to show what it looked like to have someone going through this.” Techno leans against the counter. “This might be something that will happen to you some time soon.”

Tommy crosses his arms. “Like hell I will go through some shit like this. I’m to big of a man to fall that far.”

Wilbur laughs and locks eyes with Tommy. “If you say so, but it is not something to can just say no to.”

“Watch me bitch!” Tommy reaches forward and grabs his plate to start eating the meat. “Nothing is going to stand in my way.” He says around a mouth full of food.

“Please chew with your mouth shut.” Techno sighs and before looking out the window again.

Eventually Tubbo joins Tommy at the table with Ranboo tucked between the two young vampires. Wilbur just lays his head down and stares off at nothing above Ranboo’s shoulder. Techno comes over to join them at the table and lets the two young vampires ask random questions. Wilbur does add things in randomly.

This is still some time to pass before night falls and everyone starts getting creative in distracting Wilbur.

When Phil returns, he just stares for a moment because Wilbur is letting Tommy and Tubbo throw raw strips of meat into his mouth. Ranboo is keeping score on a board that Phil is not sure if he has ever seen before. Techno is cutting up meat and laughing when the fledglings miss. There is a mess on the ground where stray piece of meat sits leaking blood.

Phil just sighs and leads Wilbur outside saying they will be back soon. Before he exits through the door, he makes a point in saying the mess better be cleaned up by the time they get back.

Tommy and Tubbo put a finger on their noses and stare at the other two left in the house. Ranboo just blinks before sighing. He wanted to help with something today, guess it was cleaning the kitchen.

Chapter Text

Tommy rolls over and holds back a sigh. He should be sleeping right now, but something felt off to him. He has not been able to sleep for the last two days, and it was starting to annoy him. Vampires do not need to sleep all the time, but fledglings do because their bodies were still changing. Phil had said it could take years to finally get out of the need to sleep all the time.

He pushes himself up and looks around the nest. Phil had something he had to do causing him to be away for two days. Wilbur went out last night to run an errand. Techno being who he was didn’t need as much sleep, so he was off doing something somewhere. Tubbo was curled in-between Ranboo and Tommy.

His eyes linger on his coven member for a moment before slowly shifting over to Ranboo. Something in the back of his mind told him to get closer. He blinks a few times before shaking his head and turning away. He was just hungry was all. It had been happening a lot lately.

Something had been telling him just to bite Ranboo and Tommy was not going to do that. Ranboo was still really twitchy about things to do with blood and sharing it with others.

He would just get up and get a bottle of blood and everything would be alright. He makes his way out of the nest of blankets and walks slowly towards the kitchen. He rubs at his eyes a little trying to get the little feeling in the back of his head to go away. It kept begging him to turn around.

Steps away from the kitchen he passes by the room Techno is sitting in and pauses to stare. He is not sure how long he stands there, but he knows he doesn’t want a bottle of blood anymore. Something whispers that he needs to sink his fangs into Techno before the other knows he is there.

He tries to go over why he would even think of that. There was a perfectly good bottle waiting for him if he kept moving. He could even have two if he really wanted. The thought of cow’s blood right now didn’t sit right and something fresh was the only answer.

Techno had looked up at some point and saw Tommy just staring. He could tell the fledgling was deep in thought and the look in his eyes was off. He didn’t say anything and returned to reading just waiting to see what would happen.

Tommy carefully looks over Techno letting his gaze linger on the exposed points of skin. If his fangs could hurt, they were doing so right now. The little voice said biting something would make him feel better. Techno was basically part of his coven, he wouldn’t mind a little bite. Unlike Ranboo who might get scared off Techno was used to vampires.

Tommy takes a step forward into the room and tilts his head watching Techno.

Techno flicks his eyes up to study the younger for a moment. “Need help with something?” He could already guess what this was about and really wished Phil or Wilbur were here. Phil warned him that the fledglings were reaching the point a bloodlust might hit. It was a reason he was staying in the house a little more to keep an eye while the other two were out.

“I’m hungry.” Tommy pouts for a moment eyes lingering on the skin he could see. Maybe if he moved quickly enough he could take Techno by surprise.

Techno makes a humming sound flipping the page of his book. “There are fresh bottles in the kitchen.” He lets his eyes drop back to the book not really reading. He was just waiting to see if Tommy tried something.

Tommy wrinkles his nose at that. “Don’t want that.”

Techno closes his book to give the fledgling his full attention. “I don’t smell any blood, so I’m guessing you left Ranboo alone.” Techno had been a little worried the two would go after their friend, but Phil told him to have faith. The bond they had with the now young god was a strong one.

Tommy nods. “He is sleeping with Tubbo still. But I was hungry, so I came out here.” He drags his eyes up to look at Techno’s for a moment.

“I’m not letting you bite one of the cows.” Techno did not want to have to clean up that mess. Yes Techno himself would kill a cow for meat. But he always did it as painless as possible and in an area easy to clean.

“Don’t want cow blood.” Tommy was offended that Techno would even say such a thing. The little voice in the back of his head screamed that animal blood was disgusting.

Techno already knows this but wanted to see what would happen. “Sit down for a moment.” He pats the empty space next to him. He didn’t mind Tommy standing in front of him but having the fledging sitting would be easier on them both.

Tommy’s eyes flicker over to the empty spot before looking back at Techno. “How is that going to help my hunger?” He runs his tongue over his fangs for a moment trying to lessen the pain they were in.

Techno sighs and carefully reaches forward noting how Tommy’s eyes follow his wrist. He grabs ahold of Tommy’s arm and tugs him down onto the couch. “I just want to see something.”

Tommy is not even learning and is just focused on the warmth he can feel being so close to Techno. If he focuses, he can swear he can hear the blood pumping through Techno’s veins.

Techno takes a hold of Tommy’s face and tilts it up to have a better look at the vampire’s eyes. “How long have you been feeling like this?” He sees they are still unfocused.

Tommy tries to tilt his head and smiles a little showing off his fangs. “Don’t know. Day or two?” He studies Techno’s face for a moment before letting his eyes drip to the other’s neck.

“Tommy you are going into a blood lust. Remember when Wilbur went through one a little while back. It is your first one.” Techno keeps a gentle hold of Tommy’s face. “I’m guessing you had enough self-control to walk away from Ranboo because you are so close to him.”

Tommy hums and places one hand around Techno’s wrist gently trying to pull it away. He is close enough now that he could just open his mouth and sink it into the skin. He can feel Techno’s pulse under his fingers and wants to do something about it.

Techno’s arm doesn’t move. “From what I know. It shouldn’t last too long but you might not be in full control of yourself during it.” Techno thinks for a moment. “If you are going through one Tubbo might not be far behind. I will have to check with Phil about that.”

Tommy makes a small angry sound before locking eyes with Techno. He is not sure what he is trying to do but the small voice in the back of his head tells him he can convince Techno to let go so he can bite him. He narrows his eyes a little and puts everything he has into making Techno do what he wants.

Techno blinks twice before snorting. “Are you trying to thrall me?” He can feel the slight pull of Tommy and it makes him laugh. He knows the fledgling has no idea what he is trying to do.

Tommy nods his head as much as he can. Maybe if he tries a little harder it will work.

“Sorry kid, that is not going to work for a few reasons. One, you are far too young to thrall properly. Maybe on a human it would work long enough for you to get close. Two, not even Phil can thrall me unless I let him. Whole god thing going on and all.” Techno tilts his head a little but never looks away.

Tommy pouts and tries to pull away. He lets out an angry sound when Techno doesn’t let him go. “Let go.” He whines and brings up his other arms to try to remove Techno’s hands from him.

“If I let go at this point you are just going to bite me.” Techno has already figured out that Tommy will just go for the closest part of him when he is free.

Tommy lets a little grin play across his face. “Maybe.”

Techno rolls his eyes. Tommy had always been honest about what he was doing.

Pulling away didn’t work. Thralling didn’t work. So, Tommy changes his approach. “I’m hungry.” He whines once again. “It feels like I have not eaten in days.”

“You had blood yesterday.” Techno counters.

Tommy huffs and closes his eyes. “Please? Just a little bite?”

“We both know it is not going to be a little bite. It is your first time feeding from someone and you are in a blood lust.” Techno looks over Tommy carefully seeing that he is not too far gone into it yet.

“I will try for just a little bite?” Tommy says opening his eyes and giving his best puppy dog eyes. When tying to control someone doesn’t work, guilting them into it is the next best option.

“You are going to make yourself sick.” Techno states with a frown.

Tommy hums and smiles with far too many teeth. “Don’t care.”

Techno shifts his grip to the back of Tommy’s neck with one hand because he doesn’t want the fledgling going for this throat. He lowers the other arm and turns his wrist up. He knows Tommy is not going to be gentle with the bite that is about to happen.

Tommy wastes no time and opening his mouth and sinking his fangs into the wrist before him. The warm blood fills his mouth, and he thinks he will never be able to get enough. He brings up his hands to cling making sure it can’t be taken from him without a fight.

Techno hisses at the sudden pain before sighing. He knows he could have just picked up Tommy and locked him in a room. It wouldn’t be the first time he did it to a vampire during a bloodlust. But Phil had told him before how much it hurts to go without feeding during the time. Yes, they could drink animal blood to lessen the hunger, but human blood was the best for shortening the bloodlust. While Techno’s blood was not human, he could change it enough to have a similar effect.

Tommy bites down harder forgotten he was only going for a little bite trying to tear more skin to get more blood. He is not even thinking at the moment and is just seeking a way to get more blood from the wrist inn his hands.

Techno would ask Tommy to lighten up with his bites but thinks it will do little more then make him bite harder. Techno is not worried about blood loss, but he is worried about Tommy drinking too much and becoming sick. Too much blood and the fledgling was going to start throwing it up.

Tommy can feel the hand on the back of his neck give a tug and he just growls biting down harder. Now that he had his prize he was not going to let go. The small voice in the back of his mind purrs at being able to drink the blood.

Techno sighs and slowly changes his blood into mist making so it stops flowing into the fledgling’s mouth.

Tommy growls again and repositions his fangs trying to find a new place to draw blood. He is fast enough that Techno cannot pull him back in time.

“You know biting more is not going to change anything. No more blood is going to flow.” Techno is calm as Tommy bites his wrist a few more times. He is willing to take a few more bites from Tommy to prove his point. He can just heal the damage after anyways.

Tommy lets out another growl and pulls back baring his teeth at Techno before trying to lunge forward to go for the neck. He has some how forgotten about the hand on the back of his neck.

Techno just hold Tommy still using his other hand. “You have had enough. You will be sick of you keep going. I don’t really want to have to clean up after you throwing up everything you just had, then whining you are hungry again.”

Tommy narrows his eyes at Techno before huffing and going boneless. He would not admit he was feeling full now that he was not so focused on the blood.

Techno rolls his eyes and uses his other arms to flip Tommy around so he can settle the fledgling against his side and put an arm around him. “Sleep for now. See how you feel when you wake up.” Threads the fingers of his free hand through Tommy’s hair and just starts untangling the knots he finds.

Tommy opens his mouth to complain he is not tired but the warmth coming off Techno and the fully belly he has fights against him and he lets his eyes shut. “You cheated.” He mumbles softly melting into the finger running through his hair. He doesn’t want to fall asleep but feels himself slipping slowly.

“I might have.” Techno makes sure Tommy comfortable. “I told you long ago my blood can make you sleepy. Easy way to deal with fledglings that get too greedy.” He had done the same thing to both Phil and Wilbur throughout the time they had been together. Sometimes when one of the others couldn’t sleep for one reason or another. Techno would offer to help them sleep with some blood. Didn’t cost him much and he got some quiet time.
