Work Text:
The sun has just set and Jimmy is walking around the forest.
He’s mostly doing it to enjoy the walk, but he’s also on the lookout for something to eat.
He’s walking in a part he’s not been in in a while.
The vampire pauses.
Sitting in a ring of mushrooms sits a young man.
The man sits, his back to Jimmy.
A beam of moonlight shines through the trees, illuminating his brown hair, a spring green streak going through the back where it’s gathered into a tasteful high pony tail.
Jimmy studies what he can see of the man with red eyes, carefully and silently approaching the mushroom ring.
The vampire feels entranced by the man. He can’t tell why though.
Jimmy is about to cross into the circle when something in his pauses. ‘This feels like a trap…’ he thinks.
Jimmy stops, two steps away from the ring.
The man in the circle turns around, standing up gracefully.
Now Jimmy can properly look at him, he realizes how gorgeous the man is.
Pointed ears stand out against brown hair, a spring green streak of hair going through his bangs. His brown eyes shine with light and life, a sharp toothed smile meets Jimmy.
“Hello there.” the man asks, “Can I ask what a pretty thing like you is named?”
Jimmy blinks at the man, “Uhh…Jimmy.”
The man’s smile grows, “Why don’t you step into the ring, Jimmy.”
Jimmy hesitates. ‘This feels wrong.’
“Uhh…Can I not?”
The man blinks at him before pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing, “You could not if you want but could you tell me your real name, not a nickname.”
Jimmy pauses, instantly knowing what this man is, “You're a fae.”
“And you're a handsome vampire.” the fae says.
“Why do you want me to go into the ring?” Jimmy asks.
“Would you do it for a kiss?”
Jimmy’s cheeks flush a bit at the flirt, and his none beating heart would have beaten faster at it too.
The fae shoots him a warm smile, “if you come into the ring we can do whatever you want.” he says, “you can have whatever you want.”
“You're trying to manipulate me into getting myself trapped in the fae realm.” Jimmy says.
The fae sighs, “You're knowledgeable, aren't you.”
“I’ve been around for a few centuries.” Jimmy says, “I sure hope I am.”
“So have I.” the fae says, "Immortal creatures and all…”
There is a beat of silence before the fae speaks again, “So you probably know what happens when one of you drinks fae blood.”
“It’s like how alcohol is for mortales, intoxicating and sweet.” Jimmy says.
The fae nods, “Have you ever had it?”
Jimmy shakes his head, “No.”
“Would you like to try?” the fae asks.
“What’s the catch?” Jimmy asks, “Your kind are master trixters, there is always a catch.”
The fae sighs, smiling, “So smart.” he says, “the “catch” would be that you have to enter the ring.” he says, “if you enter, you can have all the fae blood you could ever want, but you will be trapped in my realm."
“And what’s in it for you if I enter the ring?” Jimmy asks.
“I get to see a pretty face like yours more often.” The fae says, “Also, you can still leave the fae realm, but only with me when I leave.”
Jimmy thinks about the offer, leaving in the mortal realm has been rather dull, and he’s heard the fae realm is vastly different to the mortal worlds and it might be fun to experience a new realm after several centuries in this one.
Jimmy gives the fae a smile, “deal.”
The fae grins, “then step into the ring.”
Jimmy slowly steps in.
Once his foot is inside it, he feels the power of the two realms merging, flowing through his body.
It feels amazing.
The fae brings a clawed finger up to his right wrist, slicing a line across it, slitting it.
The fae brings his bleeding wrist to Jimmy’s mouth, allowing him to taste the blue liquid.
The second it hits Jimmy’s tongue, he can taste the magic it holds.
It tastes amazing.
Jimmy could see himself only ever drinking this blood for the rest of his eternal life.
Jimmy feels his knees grow weaker, a floating feeling creeping across his mind and body.
When he finally has had his fill he licks the wound closed, leaning heavily on the fae for support.
“Did you like your meal?” the fae asks softly.
Jimmy smiles, giggling a little as he says, “Yes.” he says, “You got such a cute face.” he compliments, “I want to kiss it.” he giggles.
The fae hums, pressing his lips to Jimmy’s.
Jimmy closes his red eyes, still leaving against the fae as he lets him kiss him.
When the fae pulls away, Jimmy chews on his own lip. He really enjoyed kissing the fae, it felt nice.
The fae scopes him up into a bridal carry, “Lets get you home.” he says, winking.
Jimmy closes his eyes, resting his head against the fae.
He feels safe and content in the arms of the fae.
Some might have called him foolish, others stupid, but him, happy.
