𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 (Ferid x Male!Reader)

Chapter 10 - Deadly Friends

Originally the title for this chapter was just 'Friends?' and all I could think about was the damn TV show- 

Also! This is just such a good song for OnS vampires...

Y/n lounged around in the library. He had two stacks of books, only now his read list was taller than his to be read stack. He was pretty happy about that. In the day so far Y/n had already gone through a whole series of ten, three-hundred-page books. 

Y/n finished his eleventh book, putting it on top of his already read stack. He stretched and sighed, before looking over at the clock until his eyes focused on it.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening... Y/n had been in the library for most of the day. He decided he had spent enough time in the library and got up and left to go 'bug' his favorite vampire. 

But first he quickly snuck into the kitchen to grab a bread roll from right under the chef's nose before he took the long way to Ferid's study. 

After about five minutes Y/n made it to the large door that led into the noble's study. He knocked once. No answer. He knocked again. Nope.

Y/n risked a peek inside Ferid's office. It was decently dim, and there was no one inside. The boy leaned back, a frown on his face. 

'Maybe he's in his room...' Y/n thought, humming to himself as he closed the door and began his trek to Ferid's chambers upstairs. He took the back spiral staircase. It was closer, and quicker to go up, and risked a lot less social interaction. 

After a few minutes Y/n made it to the silver haired male's room. He knocked on the door. Yet again no answer.

"Huh..." Y/n said out loud, confused. 

Y/n stood around for a little while before remembering that Ferid had once told Y/n he liked the garden in the back of the manor. Y/n made his way to the dark, cold, green garden outside hidden behind the mansion. 

Y/n huffed a sigh as he looked at the size of the garden, before beginning to search around the large area in the dusk of night.

It took a whole thirty minutes to decently check the garden, and the progenitor was nowhere to be found, slightly upsetting Y/n. The h/c haired boy went back inside to warm up. He debated asking one of Ferid's workers, but ultimately, he didn't want to cause a fuss. 

As Y/n made his way to his bedroom a vampire, who he had never seen before, looked over at him and pointed directly at him.

"Oh! Is that him?" She had shoulder length bobby purplish blue hair and wore a very... interesting uniform.

Y/n paused in his tracks as he watched another blonde-haired woman round the corner, then a muscular vampire who had red and black hair that ended in a braid.

Then his knight in shining armor revealed himself from around the corner of the bending hall.

Y/n's mood noticeably improved at the sight of Ferid. 

"There you are," said vampire spoke, his tone laced with sarcasm and a playful frown adorned his lips, "And just where have you been?"

"Looking for you," Y/n rubbed the back of his neck in slight embarrassment.

Ferid paused for a second, realizing what had happened before an airy laugh escaped him, "We were looking for you."

Y/n made a noise of acknowledgment before eyeing the three other vampires. 

"Ah, yes," Ferid remembered, walking over to stand next to Y/n, his gloved hand found its way to rest on Y/n's lower back, "These are a few people I wanted you to meet, my dear."

Ferid motioned first towards the tall vampire with red and black hair, "This is thirteenth progenitor, Crowley Eusford," the vampire, now known as Crowley, gave Y/n a wave and a close eye smile as Ferid spoke.

Y/n nodded, showing he was listening. He lightly waved to the new vampires in the manor.

Crowley tilted his head to the side, still smiling as he hummed before motioning to the two women at his side, "These two ladies are my aides, seventeenth progenitors Chess and Horn."

"Hi!" The bluish-purple haired woman, Chess, was more than enthusiastic to Y/n as she quickly appeared right in front of the boy, slightly startling him, "Awe! Your so cute! What's your name?"

"His name is Y/n," Ferid answered for the h/c haired boy. 

"I must say, Ferid," Crowley spoke up, "He is quite the catch is terms of humans. How did you find him? Y/n has become quite a topic of gossip ever since you claimed him." 

Y/n's eyes widened just a little bit more at that. 'Gossip? About me?' he thought. He couldn't believe it. Why was Y/n such a strong topic amongst vampires? He was just human. 

"That's a secret," Ferid said with a smirk as he told Crowley.

"Aww, no fair, lord Ferid!" Chess whined, "I wanted to get myself a human like this one... he's so adorable!"

Y/n backed up just a tiny bit, a little discomfort running through him at how close the female vampire was. 

Ferid gave Crowley a look, who in turn, took the hint.

"Chess," Crowley warned.

"Ugh, fine," the short girl crossed her arms over her chest and stepped back to her lord's side.

After giving Chess a slight passive aggressive smile, the red and black-haired vampire turned back to his 'friend'.

"So Ferid," he started, "Do ya think he is-?"

The silver-haired vampire was quick to cut off the other with his answer, "We don't know yet. Probably, but we're going to confirm soon."

Y/n looked up to Ferid, "What?" He asked softly.

Ferid looked down, giving Y/n his signature close-eyed smile, "Nothing for you to worry about, dear."

Y/n kept his eyes innocently glued to the higher-ranking progenitor as if he were a young child for a little while until his attention turned back to the other three scarlet-eyed beings. 

He knew damn well than better to openly second guess vampires. Even if Ferid had been so kind to him, in the back of Y/n's mind, at any given moment he could simply discard Y/n, and no one would ever guess what happened to the boy. 

It was a dangerous world, and Y/n's only barrier was Ferid.
