A Reason To Stay {THE LITTLE VAMPIRE) RUDONY [COMPLETED]

Chapter 17

Tony awoke with a flutter of eyelids, feeling the soft breath of the vampire beside him on his cheeks. He looked up to his boyfriend and felt himself flush. He was so wonderfully lucky to have everything he had ever wanted right there, lying with him in his bed. The blond teenager sighed happily, tightening his hold on the boy. He smiled when he heard a sleepy murmur escape the vampire’s lips, feeling the immortal stroke his back unconsciously.

The two were pressed flush together, their morning hardnesses brushing shamelessly against each other. Rudolph moaned softly in his sleep, and with a flutter of his eyelashes, his eyes popped open, with Tony in his sights. His cheeks glowed and he immediately leaned in to kiss his boyfriend. 

“Mhm… ‘evening, love,” the vampire whispered against his lips. 

“Good evening,” Tony replied, grinning as he kissed him again. 

Tony skipped school that day to spend it in bed with Rudolph. They alternated between drifting back to sleep and exchanging slow, longing kisses. 

As night dawned, they slipped on their underwear and roamed downstairs hand in hand. The two sat down on the old murky brown couch in the living room and flicked on the TV. Rudolph had crawled into Tony’s arms, breathing gently against his bare skin. 

They lay there, whispering sweet words as Tony pressed kisses to the vampire’s shoulder while the crackling noise of the television faded into the background. Eventually the blond fell back asleep, warmed by the vampire in his arms. 

Tony later awoke to a presence leaving him, and he reached out to try and grab hold of the vampire who was flying away. 

“Rudy, why are you leaving?” he whispered. He heard the boy sigh as he leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, covering Tony with a heavy blanket. 

“Darling, I’ve got to go. Anna is up there calling from your window. She must have followed me here once, so she probably figured out I come here when I leave the castle. I’ll be back as soon as I can. I promise you.”

He kissed Tony again, sucking at his bottom lip softly before flying up the stairs and out of view. The blond sighed into the cloth, wishing he could still smell Rudolph, that he could touch him; that he didn’t have to be away from him for so long. He rolled off the couch, trudging sleepily up the stairs. He entered his room in time to see his boyfriend close the window, appearing to be deep in argument with his sister. He smiled to himself as he walked up to the window, watching the vampire fly off into the night. 

Tony hadn’t mentioned that today was his eighteenth birthday. He didn’t care though. He hadn’t celebrated his birthday in years anyway, and Tony had already started it off perfectly with the boy he loved. And that was enough. 

The teenager gazed out the window even after Rudolph had disappeared from view, but eventually went back to his bed. As his head hit the pillow, he caught a whiff of Rudolph’s earthy scent. He could even feel the lingering warmth where his body had lain mere hours before. “I’m so fucked,” Tony mumbled into the bedsheets that smelled like his boyfriend’s shampoo. He fell asleep quickly, smiling into the blankets. He was so helplessly in love with Rudolph. 

Tony had even awoken with a wide grin on his face, still remembering the vampire of his affections. It took him a few seconds to realize that his phone had been ringing. 

The blond teenager snatched it up, accepting the call from his boyfriend. “Hey Rudy,” he said warmly. 

“‘Morning, love,” the vampire practically whispered into the phone. Tony’s eyebrows knit together.

“Uhm… are you alright? What are you calling about?”

“I… um, I’m fine… I… wanted to call and tell you that I won’t be coming back for a while.”

The boy’s heart plummeted heavily in his chest. He had only just seen him, and now he probably wouldn’t be back for so, so long. Oh, oh. What if he had done something to upset him? What if Rudolph didn’t want to come back? 

“I… was it something I did?” he asked after he realized the line had gone silent. 

Rudolph took in a sharp breath. “No! … Well… yes, I suppose. It’s not that I’m upset with you! But yes… it does have to do with something you did.”

“Huh?” 

The vampire let out a short laugh, but went quiet again. “I- Tony, do you remember the hickey you gave me last night?”

“Yeah,” he smiled, biting his lip as he recalled everything from the evening before. 

“Well,” he sighed through the phone. Tony could nearly hear the vampire run a hand through his ink-black hair. “I got caught.”

“You what ?” he smirked. 

“You heard me perfectly,” Rudolph groused, “I was flying home and my parents met me at the door. I hadn’t been back in a few days, you know.”

“Sorry.” 

“No… it’s- it’s fine. I love being with you,” Tony smiled, and Rudolph went silent again; he knew the vampire was smiling on the other end. “They… mother saw it first, and she tried to rub it off, but Frederick knew what it was. He’s grounded me since he thinks I’ve been consorting with other vampires. Thankfully, he doesn’t suspect that I’ve been with you the entire time.”

“Oh Rudolph,” Tony chuckled. “Well, I’ll just have to give you a few more next time.”

“Don’t you dare!” he snapped, but Tony could tell he wasn’t being completely serious. Suddenly, there was a sharp knocking on the door on Rudolph’s end of the phone. “Sorry love, I must go. I’ll visit you as soon as Father lets me go outside again.”

“See ya, baby,” before Rudolph hung up, he heard the vampire’s door open, and Gregory’s voice rang loud and clear.

“SO LET’S SEE THAT HICK-”

Tony snorted when the call ended abruptly. He fell asleep excited for when his boyfriend would be coming back again.
