The One Where Dave Gets Hungry

Summary:

Now that Rose has joined Dave in taking care of his adopted brother, 9-year-old Dirk, things are going pretty smoothly. That is, until Dave's food order doesn't come in, and there's no blood in sight.

Notes:

  • Inspired by Vampire AU by http://eighthchiharu.tumblr.com/

This work was originally posted on tumblr, in an attempt to utilize the site's unique format to create a new type of daily story-telling. Because the parts of the story were posted once a day for 4 weeks, the chapters in this collection will vary greatly in length and style. Please be patient with it, it may take some getting used to. :)

Chapter 1: found you

Chapter Text

  • Alpha Dave has never had what you’d call a spectacularly steady existence, but with Dirk, he craves normalcy even more – and gets it.
  • With Rose’s daytime help, running errands when Dave can’t, or helping Dirk until Dave can wake up, the three of them are making this work.
  • Dave thinks he may just have found the closest thing to Heaven his kind can have.
  • Until the weekly blood delivery from the carniceria three blocks away doesn’t show up. Rose says no-one has come to the apartment during the day, but she’ll stay later to watch Dirk while Dave goes to check things out.
  • He’s barely in the store's door when the new manager starts grinning at him from behind the meat counter. The old manager was an awesome Mexican guy with short dark hair and deep laugh lines. The new one is tall, blond, and has way too many teeth.
  • Dave stops walking. He has never felt as stupid as he does in this moment.
  • “So, that’s our great-great-great-blah-blah grandnephew, huh? Guess I owe you a big thanks for keeping tabs on our dad’s spawn. You don’t mind if I come see the little bugger, do ya? He looks delicious.”
