Work Text:
One evening at Cafe Lucerne, after much work, Charlotte enjoyed a wonderful evening at Fontaine. She invites travelers to stop at the cafe. She thought to ask about Yokai in Inazuma as Steambird's latest halloween news. that's where she started. question after question was asked to complete Halloween with a direct interview with someone who had experience. The interview, which took two hours, contained concise and clear information, and met the criteria for Steambird media.
"How was your last trip when you were in Inazuma?"
"Paimon and I attended a tea party with the Kamisato Clan and Fox Lady in Ritou. The party was a pleasant memory," hearing that, the journalist girl nodded her head and enjoyed the tea she had ordered.
Time passed, words were spoken in the dim atmosphere of the city, Melusine walked here and there, the Fontaine women talked about their daily lives, and many were still active at nine in the evening.
Charlotte and Aether left the cafe, walking together. Passing through the quiet street, the hanging lights and the warm temperature of the surroundings One of them broke the silence. "Mondstadt with the wind coming from all directions takes us anywhere. It's like freedom. Liyue presents yellow lanterns and red buildings meaning good luck. Inazuma has cherry trees almost throughout its area with the impression of love and happiness. Sumeru is adjacent to the Rain Forest and Dehsret brings We are in a fantasy world like in a fairy tale. And in Fontaine, even though I haven't been here for a long time, I feel that this place is elegant, in the middle of a flowing water, there is also a unique magic that people rarely find."
Arriving in front of her house, the girl paid close attention to the traveler's words. Then... She saw the full moon in the sky. Suddenly there was pain in her jaw. The journalist covered her mouth with her palm. Aether was worried about Charlotte's condition.
Inside her house, she sat on a wide sofa. The girl looked tired, sweat drop by drop on her forehead. Aether immediately got a glass of water for Charlotte. After putting down the glass, she turned the blonde boy's body around and pinned him on the sofa. With gasping breaths, both hands on each of the boy's shoulders said, "I'm sorry, this is an emergency. I need something from you." In a voice that only the room could hear, the blonde answered confusedly. "Okay,.... you asked in a unique way. what do you want?"
"BLOOD" is a word that appears with a thirsty tone. Immediately lowered her head to his neck. A little lick and a 'chauck'. The boy's eyes widened but remained calm. from this, he concluded that the girl in front of him was a "vampire".
'You tried to restrain yourself when we were in the cafe, for how long?' he thought as Charlotte was still enjoying the boy's blood. Raising both hands, the right one on the girl's back and the left one on her head. This way, Charlotte is calmer.
After three minutes, Charlotte stopped and Aether sat opposite her. Not angry but smiling. Seeing a glass on the table, he took it and handed it to the pink girl.
"Feeling better?" "Um. Sorry if I'm in a hurry. And..." just lowered her head and looked down. Regretting her actions.
"No problem, something similar happened before I came to Teyvat."
"Huh?!"
Placing his hands on both cheeks, so that his eyes met hers, Aether spoke, "In order for the symptoms you are experiencing to subside, there is a final step." by closing the distance, his lips met hers. Stunned and shocked, she froze in place, processing the events before her eyes. Charlotte couldn't digest this. He stole her first kiss.
Aether felt the vampire girl's two fangs. After the kiss and opening his eyes, the pink in front of him was surprised with a blushing face.
Now he led Charlotte to her room, as she should rest. Lying down and hoping for each other, Aether continued the previous story, "In a world there was a kingdom led by vampires in the middle of a white forest. In short, my sister and I were trapped. Then in that kingdom there was a princess who was 'unhealthy'. So the vampire troops there took over help until finally they met the two of us looking for help, because the blood that was able to cure the vampire princess was pure human blood. The troops directed their steps to the kingdom where the princess was. When I entered the room, what I saw was a princess. The vampire race has the characteristics of bright red eyes, skin as white as snow. On the bed she lay down and waved her hand with the meaning 'come here'. I sat on the edge of the bed looking at the princess, raised my right hand to her and then bit my hand at that moment. And the last thing is what I do now." A story from a traveler while exploring world after world. Charlotte felt like she was watching a theater play when she heard the story."
"An interesting adventure romance story. Tell me tomorrow!"
The vampire's cheerful response was full of enthusiasm.
"ok, ok I'll tell you tomorrow." with a smile he continued, "Good night"
"Night to you too", and peck gift landed on his cheek.
'Cute vampire', he thought with his chin resting on the head of the girl in his arms. they both slept peacefully after the event that stuck in their hearts.
