Work Text:
The keys jingle in place as you turn them, the door opening slightly before you pushed it open entirely. You let Dio in watching his reaction nervously. Earlier you had debated in your head whether your house was up to standard for company until you finally concluded that it was although a nagging thought left you unsure. Entering after him and throwing your keys on the counter you looked around to see that while your living space wasn't really a mess it certainly could be better. "Sorry about the mess. I didn't think you were coming over today."
This was Dio's first time over at your place and it only happened because you both hadnt seen each other at all this current week, so Dio decided after some discussion over the phone to drop by.
You both have been seeing each other for a few weeks now and not to be confused with dating. You've yet to see where he lives and works. Which was fine. You weren't impatient besides it was up to Dio if he wanted to show you that.
"It is to be expected." Dio observed the living room and kitchen further. "Though you could do better."
"Your probably right." You said before asking, "Do you want something to drink?"
Dio walked over to your couch and sat upon it, graceful as ever. "Do you have any wine?"
"Uh….are you okay with soda?"
The vampire, unknownst to you, leaned back in the couch looking at you with a raised eyebrow. "You would serve me that filth?"
Your mouth opened in response as you leaned on the kitchen counter only to then close and open again. "Filth? Oh my goodness. Don't tell me you're the type of person who buys expensive bottled water."
"No. I am not in fact that type of person." He responded.
"Uh-huh. Knowing you- you probably haven't even tried any kind of soda have you?"
"Your trying to give me the same thing that devours raw meat within hours. What ever have I done to make you wish for my death?" He asked with a hint of amusement.
You blinked, a chuckle leaving you. "What? What are you talking about-" And then it clicked.
"You- did you actually watch that time-lapse video I sent you?"
"Was I not supposed to?"
A smile made its way on your features as you spoke. "No, I just wasn't expecting you to actually watch it."
"I told you to send me something interesting and you did despite how…" He made a face before continuing. "Odd it was."
"If you thought that was odd your in for a big surprise." You move off from your counter and open a nearby cabinet grabbing a plastic cup and filling it with some ice. "Dio. Soda won't melt your insides. You'll be fine. Just try it. You might like it." You say as you pour coke-cola into the cup. You knew he didn't need to be reassured but it wouldn't hurt to anyway.
You walk over to him, cup in hand. Leaning over the couch, and handing the cup to him. The distaste in his eyes were clear. "Are you still concerned?"
"No. I am not. I know it won't harm me. It does not mean I will like it regardless." He said before taking the cup from you. He looked at the smirk you gave him and glared before finally taking a sip. He made a face while pulling the cup away from him. He sat there in silence before finally speaking.
"It is…decent."
"I knew you'd like it."
He hums in response before taking another sip.
"Dio. Aren't you hot in that?"
"No." Was all he said while placing his cup on the table in front of him.
"Well your making me hot in that. You can relax you know. Take your shoes off."
He gave you an amused look. "Are you telling me to get naked?"
"N-no. I just. You can relax."
"I'm already relaxed."
You grab his jacket and pull it off him, he doesn't struggle as you do, he even moves slightly so you can pull it off with ease. You then place it on the other couch. "See." You smile at him, returning back to his side. Leaning on the couch from behind.
He hummed leaning forward, his hand caressing your arm before pulling you in close into a kiss. It doesn't last long but you melt nonetheless. Your panting when released. "Yes. I think I do see what you're on about now." He says with a smirk before turning around to see the TV and grabbing the remote.
You blush before calming yourself.
"I think I'm gonna go take a shower. Are you staying over?"
"We shall see." He says while he remains focused on the TV.
You made your way to your room in response, undressing yourself.
…
When you returned to the living room, you see Dio still hasn't left. Which you were honestly happy that he hadn't. At the moment your wearing nothing but a robe. You go to turn the living room lights off and sit on the couch slightly beside him. He seems invested. You look to see what he's watching and cringe. "Are you watching- Housewives of Atlanta?"
He hums. "I suppose I am though I did not know what it was called."
"...Honestly. It makes sense that you'd watch this. It suits you...somehow."
"Is that a compliment or insult?"
"Uhhh."
A fight is suddenly occurring on screen which gets Dio's attention instantly. He had long since moved into a laying on his side position. His head resting on a pillow. His shoes discarded.
You're happy he's enjoying himself. You recall a conversation about his lack of using anything technologically advance.
"Are you gonna get a TV now?"
"I will think about it. It may prove to be more of hindrance than anything. It already proves to be distracting."
"Yah. That's TV alright."
You both continue to watch the show comfortably in silence. Dio being invested and you being only slightly, as you drift on into sleep.
…
You wake up to the feeling of being moved. Opening your eyes you see Dio and he is very close. "Dio?"
"You fell asleep. So I'm taking you to your room where you can properly rest."
You're still tired as you mumble. "What about your show?"
"It already ended some time ago."
It took you a moment to realize that you had been picked up by him. "Are you leaving after?"
His golden eyes seem to glow when they look at you. "Do you want me to?"
"I..don't. But if you have to go home then it's okay."
He seems to ponder your words before he responds, "I shall stay." and with those words, you both have reached your room. He walks over to the bed before gently placing you in it. You get comfortable as you watch him take off a few of his accessories.
You see he's about to get in bed before you stop him. "Pants and shirt. Off."
"Oh?"
"Your clothes look expensively uncomfortable."
He chuckles at your words as he begins to take off his clothes until he is completely naked.
You move in the bed to give him room to get in beside you. As he enters his eyes never leave yours. You wondered why you never noticed how they seem to glow. You wanted to ask about it but you were too tired. An arm seems to wrap around you, pulling you close and you rest your head against his temperately cool chest.
Drifting into sleep. In his cold embrace.
