The brunette with red glasses that were hiding his brown empty eyes sat In his chair still admiring the grayish blonde still sat a couple rows up from him. She went by the name of Katie, bloodrayne if we were mentioning vampire names. Vlad had stormed out, he had terrible mood swings that he didn't have the energy to deal with today because of his lingering hangover that he desperately needed some ibuprofen for his pounding headache. Raven was his given name from his parents. Ravencrow was his chosen vampire name. Raven noticed Katie with Annie they were best friends just as him and Vlad were, well they used to be until this romance developed. It was strictly one sided Vladimir had some sort of sick obsession and the other just used him because Vlad was filthy rich it was unfair. Raven lived in a tiny trailer with his parents they had minimal income but did raise their son with all the love he could ask for just not material items. This made Raven resent them he always wondered why he had to suffer for their shortcomings in life. What did he do to deserve this. So when he met Vladimir he struck gold literally. Money was never an issue and Raven took full advantage he was constantly asking Vladimir for money and Vladimir didn't mind because friends did for friends. Raven has designer clothes, shoes they went out to fancy restaurants all the time it was lovely. But with all the time they spent together Vladimir started catching feelings for his friend. Raven liked women too much to ever swing that way and Vladimir knew this but one day the money train stopped because Vlad said his parents put a block on his credit card which Raven didn't believe but he had to. He still hung out with Vlad just a lot less often. Vladimir took notice of this quickly and questioned him about it. Raven brushed it off to he was busy but the other male knew this was a bold faced lie and wrote him a note that he'd later receive once he got home it was written all in purple. Vladimir loved purple just as much as he loved flowers. It read "Raven, my dear I'm sorry to have to write this to you because you've been my best friend for years but I feel like you're taking advantage of me. I don't mind helping you out but I've spent thousands on you and we aren't even exclusive. I'm sorry but this is the end of our friendship". -Vlad. Raven fumed and crumpled up the letter "how dare he cut me off like I'm nothing" he laughed evilly and thought up the perfect plan a letter but in a different fashion "Vladimir, my darling I've never had the words to tell you this but I've loved you since the day I laid eyes on you I was just scared to tell you because of my parents opinions. Please love I'm not taking advantage of you I appreciate everything you've done for me don't let us end like this. I wanted to ask you something in person will you please let me do that it'll be worth your time and if it's not you don't ever have to speak to be again he signed it -R" mailing it right away. Gay wasn't typically his thing, never was his thing but the money mattered more and he knew Vladimir was into him he was gay of course he would find him attractive. He was always making comments about his appearance, his fashion even his personality. So this plan was for sure to work.
Raven decided to make a delivery to Vladimir's house it was a decent walk the gated community was on the far end of town but he was determined so the walk didn't take very long. Raven was quite tall as well so that meant he was able to take longer strides. He arrived to the gate and buzzed himself in , he still had the code to get passed the gates and wandered around until he found a mansion that was colored white and gold he walked up the long walkway and knocked on the door and expected Vladimir but instead got his father , his father didn't care for the brunette and wasn't afraid to make that a known fact.Vladimirs father glared at Raven "what do you want? Raven wasn't intimated by this and replied cheerfully "hello sir! Vlad invited me over" his father cleared his throat and corrected the male standing on the porch "Vladimir is having a nap" he replied "of course sir well would you relay this note to him" he stuck out the note for him to take. The light colored hair male looked at the letter and shut the door rudely in the brunettes face. Raven smiled and made his way back home.
Vlad was just waking up when he saw a note slide under his door his father and he weren't good communicators to each other. He seen who had sent the note and sighed in irritation. He read the note and blushed a dark color of crimson. The man had no idea his best friend felt this way he was elated. He texted Raven right away and he returned within seconds. Vladimir let him in and guided him up to his room so they could talk "the purple eyed male looked at the other with joy in his eyes "I didn't know you felt that way , I thought you only liked girls" Raven smiled "yes but I like you more , I'd date you but you know it'll have to be a secret because of my parents. Vladimir didn't care "that's okay I'll date you any kind of way I've been in love with you for so long" he rubbed ravens hand gently. Raven winced but held his hand back.
The money was back in full swing Raven got whatever he wanted just as long as he pretended to be boyfriend to Vladimir which wasn't hard because Vladimir didn't ask for much until one day they were at Vladimirs house no one was home except the housekeepers. They were in the purple tipped males room when he asked "so you know we've been dating for six months and never kissed" Raven swallowed hard "yeah I know that I thought you didn't want to" Vlad looked at him "it's all I think about I've never kissed anyone before" Raven had so he knew what to do but he never kissed a guy before , again he chose money and leaned forward and kissed Vladimir deeply and full of passion. Vladimir couldn't breathe but kissed back as best as he could he was curious if this was going to be more than a kiss and tested the waters a bit and moved his hands to his lovers chest. Raven pulled away quickly "uh I can't sorry I'm not I mean Im scared" a once scared Vladimir sympathized with him and said "it's okay i understand" which he did sex was scary for anyone. Raven was uncomfortable with this whole situation and picked up his phone and acted like it was ringing and excused himself to talk to 'someone' who was actually no one. He returned to the room from the hallway of the mansion and remembered there was a party tomorrow he had been invited to and he would look better going to it with money. He looked at Vladimir with puppy dog eyes and asked him for a couple hundred dollars. This was nothing for Vladimir but he did find it weird his boyfriend was asking for money after their brief, awkward encounter just a moment ago, nonetheless he took his wallet out and extracted three hundred dollar bills. Ravens eyes lit up and he snatched them and kissed Vladimir's cheek and told him he had to help his parents with something. Of course that was a lie but Vladimir believed it he believed all the lies he was told because love was more important.
