Rut - Paul

⚠️⚠️⚠️

"Just don't invite him in." 

 That's what David had told you when he informed you to stay away from the cave for the next couple of days. 

You were confused when David had met you at the entrance the night before, you were fully prepared to spend the night at the boardwalk with the boys and your favorite vampire, but David had quickly shot down those plans. "Wait...A rut? Like how animals have ru-" 

"Yes, just like that" he told you as he walked you back to your car. "You see when we go into these, we are very dangerous to you, if you were a vampire, you would be ok but since you're a human you're far more..." 

"Fragile" you finished, the boys had all told you that before, taking it upon themselves to protect you all the time because you were "like a China doll" in Dwayne's words. 

 "So, you understand why it's best if you just stay away for a couple of days" he explained, to which you could only simply nod as you climbed in your car. Your thoughts suddenly taking a turn as you thought of him...they were all extremely attractive...him especially...and you knew him taking a partner for a quick time was something he had done before, a lot according to the others...would that happen again? After all, if he was gonna kill them anyways why not? It didn't matter if they were fragile right? But why did that thought make you wanna cry even more in this situation? 

 "It's not like that" David's voice broke you out of your thoughts and you were unsure if he had read your thoughts or could just read your emotions. 

 "Go home y/n, don't overthink, you can come back soon" he told you as he shut your car door, watching as you started the car and rolled down the window when he knocked "and one more thing" he told you while leaning in. "Just don't invite him in." 

So here you were, sitting in your room, listening to music and drawing, wishing you could just go hang out with the boys, you hadn't really realized just how much of a staple in your life they had become until now. 

Nights seemed boring without them...without him. Sighing you sat your sketchbook down on your nightstand after you realized that in your zoned out state you had successfully sketched what was probably the twentieth picture of him that resided in the book. 

Stretching, you got up and changed the music, putting on your favorite Guns n Roses album, the cords of Rocket Queen starting as you began dancing around. You had joked to Paul on more than one occasion that he reminded you of a combo of Duff and Steven, a compliment in his eyes. But your body came to a halt when you heard knocking on your window, slowly turning, your breath and heart picking up as David's words rang in your head again. 

 "Just don't invite him in" You wondered if it would be stupid to pretend you weren't here, they all would know you were here, where else would you be? Again the knocking came, this time accompanied by a voice. 

"Sugar come on" the shiver that went down your spine was visible as you heard Paul's voice, it was a voice you had only heard a few times and that was when he was vamped out, his usual cheery tone with an underlying growl and gravel. 

"Paul" you spoke quietly. "Yeah, it's me baby, just let me in" 

"I-I can't," you replied after a moment. "Why not?" He asked, his voice deepening a bit. 

"David told me not to" you told him, listening as a low growl rang out from the other side of your window."David doesn't know what he's talking about," he replied. 

"Paul I'm not sure-" 

"Just let me in!" He snapped, and you jumped at his hard tone, having never heard it directed at you before, it made your heart race even more as you feared even approaching the window now. As if sensing your fear you heard Paul...Whimper? "I'm sorry baby I didn't mean...I promise I can explain it all if you let me in... please Sugar" he pleaded, and you knew if you could see it he would be giving you that puppy dog look he always gave to get his way. "Please y/n...it hurts" he whined, and you knew at that moment he was telling the truth and not that he was just trying to trick you...Paul only used your name when he was being completely serious.
