I can't stay away [SOLBY AU]

[6] Blood & Chocolate

Picture of lovely Samual Golbach! I think Wattpad took down the previous pictures I think. I wasn't informed, but I'll check the rules and if I realize I made an oopsy, I'll take it down! :)

(Ok! I read, celebrity pictures posted without permission—so unfortunately, I cannot put up self-portraits to go with the aesthetic! I'll figure something out! :))

Warning: POV switch-up! We can some Sam&Colby moments, enjoy!

COLBY

Waking up has never been Colby's favorite chore of the day. Before he was turned, he had a likeness for mornings. Now it's brutal rising with the sun when it's fighting against his very instinct.
"Johnnie!" Using any energy to amplify his growl this early is a crime. Vampires have abilities, and a growl is a basic command not all vampires can preform. Johnny is a night owl enthusiast.. so he needs a more creative way to wake up.
Colby's not necessarily one of the strongest but he's not passing up on an opportunity to bully his friend.

He's got a mission today, and that's talking with the wolves on their sacred land.. Colby scuffs at the thought of one dirt road separating his forest and the next. He's got to rinse his mouth, get dressed, and head downstairs once he's done.

He finishes working his way down the list using a second ability all vampires can utilize. Colby cringes when new vampires in passing talk about super-speed. He checks his phone making his way down the staircase.
"I'm ready," Johnny's in the kitchen eating the chocolate halloween cereal that Colby knows he didn't stock up on. He stands by the door when he notices Sam texted him. This early? No.. humans wake up, at like, 10am. When he was human, his mother made sure he woke up at six in the morning for his morning studies.

SAM— 'we're probably gonna head down to the witches forest. Would you mind being our guide? I was hoping we could get coffee, I haven't tried Starbucks so I'm curious if their coffee's good.'

Colby stares at the text for the third time, and carefully he reads the words over. Seriously? Colby quickly sits down as he prepares his response. Wait—"alright, I'm done. Why're you sitting?" Johnny squints at the vampire hunched over his phone, like he's trying to purposefully hide something.
"Ok, who'd you fuck?" Johnny pushes his weight forward, and now Colby struggles to push the smaller man off him. He really hates when Johnny gets his way.

"I didn't fuck anybody. You know I left that habit behind." Colby looks Johnny in the eyes and finally the vampire lets up. "But it is ..someone."

COLBY—'hey! Ya! That'd be pretty great. Send me the details when you guys plan to get here. The locals can be pretty catty and the weather is pretty damp this season. '

 
"So, Sam is it?" Colby curses under his breath as he finishes his text. He can tolerate Johnny's behavior for now. It's not so bad for someone to know.
Johnny helps Colby right himself onto his feet when he decides to lock his phone and put it away for now.

"Let's head out then, I'm sure they can wait?"
"You're a pain in the ass, y'know that?"
"Do you mean metaphorically or.."
"I don't need to know about your sex life."
Johnny shrugs,
"Well, you asked."

"..."
"Race you?"
"..where, or what have you done with Johnny Guilbert?"
Johnny has the audacity to look offended. Colby snickers, "you're not very active Johnny—despite your stamina having a longevity buff." The duo gaze at each other as they come to a slow stop side by side on the grass field surrounding his house.
The air is damp as Colby takes an even breath. But it doesn't affect him like a human after running around a park, he waits with a bated breath and before he realizes it, he's zipping past the tree line. He decides not to wait for Johnny, and sparing a glance over his shoulder, Johnnys close at his heels keeping good form as he skips, parkours over fallen trees and leaps over a muddy patch in the ground. Unbelievable..
