Finally managing to calm yourself down, you make your way outside, completely pushing aside Sabo's words. He's a tease like the rest of his brothers (minus Thatch) and he just wanted a reaction, you decide. 

Pretty? Attractive? As if a guy with such charm and muscles would think...damn, he looks good though--No, [F/n]! Stop this, he's a troll! 

A calming sensation taking over your body as the slight pitter patter of a stream catches your ears, the elegant fountain only splashing you with a mist of water as you pass it to take your seat on the bench.

Beautiful...

You're sure that you're out of sight of anyone who looks out of the windows in the mansion now, with a content smile you open your story on the bookmarked page, beginning to pick up where you left off.

The sun is beginning to set, giving the sky and the page of your book a nice orange glow, not to mention the faint sound of a piano playing off into the distance, it actually makes it more pleasant to read. You can almost feel the character's awe and passion in this atmosphere.

I really do wonder who plays piano here though...

However, you see someone in the corner of your eye, the figure taking a seat beside you on the bench and completely throwing you off of your story. A frown etched into your features as you lift your head, sending the male a peek in the corner of your eye, for a moment you expect Sabo has come to mess with you some more but you quickly find that it's actually the other blonde.

"Marco? What are you doing here?" You ask in a bit of surprise, judging by the devilish aura that surrounds him, you hadn't thought he would be a fan of flowers and certainly not of water either since him and his brothers insist of drinking wine for breakfast.

"It's my garden yoi." The blonde responds blandly, making you feel a bit dumb in the process as his eyes look up to the sky, it would seem that he's just as impressed with the atmosphere as you are.

I guess I should try getting to know him better since we're now living together.

You calmly make a mental note of where you are in your story before bookmarking it and closing the book shut, setting it down beside you and out of Marco's sight before you smile politely. However he beats you to conversation.

"So you find my brother handsome, do you?" 

Needless to say, the expression left on your face is that of somebody who just ate the sourest lemon in the world, a hearty laughter erupting from Marco as he analyzes your displeased reaction.

I think I've already found my least favorite brother...

"Well? Is that the case, miss [F/n]? Or has one of my brothers been tampering with you?" Your brow rises at the choice of word he uses, an uncertain mutter leaving your lips as you tilt your head to the side, silently asking him to repeat himself. "Heh, he almost had me going yoi!"

What the hell is he talking about?

"Uh...Yes? If you must know, I find your brother attractive, so what? It won't get in the way of my job!" You answer defensively, still unsure of why you blurted it out at breakfast but even more unsure of what he meant by 'tampering' with you, he speaks as if you're a machine. 

"I don't care about your job yoi." Marco mumbles seeming bored all of a sudden, a wave of anxiety taking over as the blonde leans closer to you, one of his arms resting on the back of the bench and his other reaching out to your neck, his finger tucking in between your choker and skin, he's so cold that makes you shudder but you're unable to pull away, it's as if you're frozen in place. The blonde lazily pulls the choker down, revealing the two marks that you had attempted to hide in order to look more professional. "That's my concern."

The hell is he doing?!

"I had a feeling he bit you yoi," Marco's smirk widens as he straightens up a little, his eyes darkening mischievously as they study your small frame. There's an intimidating aura about him now, he's a little scary when he wants to be. "You know too much..."

WHAT?! OKAY, HE'S VERY SCARY!!

"Oh well," He continues as he pushes the choker back into it's rightful place, his bored-looking eyes rolling back off toward the setting sun. "With a bit of luck, it'll make things around here a little more interesting."

Interesting?

"What are you talking about?" Your voice quivers slightly but you make efforts to push your false confidence, your stomach feeling light as you await for him to answer, you can sense that this man is a little miserable, perhaps playing mind games with you gives him a bit of satisfaction. 

That, or he's completely barking mad!

"We're vampires, stupid." Your brows furrow and eyes widen, completely taken back by the fact that he claimed him and his family are creatures of the night but also because he called you such a rude name.

STUPID?! COMING FROM THE LUNATIC CLAIMING TO BE A VAMPIRE?! YES, HE'S DEFINITELY MAD! BAT-SHIT CRAZY EVEN!

A sardonic laugh leaving your lips rather than actual words since you know damn well that it would be inappropriate of you to chew him out for being so rude to you, especially since you need this job, a slight shake of your head as you wipe away a fake tear. 

Just bite the bullet, [F/n].

"You're a character, aren't you! Vampires? Really?" You snort completely unconvinced, this causing the blonde to grin as he rises to his feet, the air seemingly relaxed between the pair of you now as he hums to himself. 

"You're interesting..." Is all he murmurs barely loud enough for you to hear him before he begins to make his way toward the doors leading back into the mansion. "Don't stay out here too long yoi, we get hungry during the night~!"

He sounds like he's kidding around now but his tone still harbors a threatening kick to it, you're honestly unsure of this guy, he's definitely a joker but also...creepy. You'd wager that he's probably the creepiest in this family. 

A slight chill running up your spine as the temperature out here suddenly drops, you find yourself picking up your book and hugging it against your chest as you make your way inside also.

I hope that jerk doesn't think I'm scared by his little vampire joke for this!
