@2deglove:  no, did it seem like i was?  [felize replied with earnest curiosity, head tilting in order to prove it. although the vampire wasn’t offended, and a light scoff escaped when cyprus seemed worried. it was amusing to see, to say the very least.]  it’s certainly a talent, and i’m sure many are grateful towards how good all of this smells. at least, i could smell it from all the way down the hallway.]  am i allowed to? they all seem too good to eat, really. i’d feel bad taking a bite into these. 

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀are you complaining?  [the answer came out too quick, too defensive, causing cyprus to squirm at the sound of his own voice.]  (ahem), i’m sorry.. there’s nothing wrong. i’m a bit stressed. and when i am, i tend to start baking to distract myself. (though i’m sure that made everything worse..).  [he stares at the freshly baked pastries—they all included red, or some shade of the color. he had an affinity for the color, especially for jam. carefully, his hands place the thumbprint cookies and tarts in bowls, leaving only the loaf of banana bread and a plate of “pork”. there’s a smile in his tone when he speaks, distinctly remembering at how feisty the “pig” had been,]  ah, right. i also made pork. i hope you’re not vegetarian. please, eat, eat. 

—i’d usually support you, but this is an awful lot of pastries. is something on your mind, cyprus?

@2deglove  ✿  You must be mistaken. I’m not trying to accuse you.. but I do have a common face.  [Had he been following the other? No, he couldn’t have, or it must have been a coincidence rather than on purpose. The lone figure wanders into the garden, further than which he intended with a smile on his lips. Haru stood in front of a student, classmate (?) with his hands tucked together behind his back.]  It’s alright, I understand. You can’t trust everyone, after all. I come here to clear my mind, it’s hard among all the chaos on campus. (I mean),  ..Don’t you think so too? 

@rotmyheart:⠀(Oh).. I could’ve sworn I saw you at the library, and now we’re here.. In the gardens.. It’s, well, a long walk between the two.  [Perhaps it were just a complete coincidence, and he seems comfortable with that answer. He curses his paranoia.]  I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to accuse you, it wasn’t my intention. I come here for the peace and quiet, you see..

@2deglove  * I don’t have a choice Bug.. 

@rotmyheart  * ????? Please don’t.... ^^

@2deglove   *  Plz stop lying before i pee myself ..

@2deglove:  [the whisk of air could have been imagined, but it still makes felize’s lips curl subtly. the book closes, and the vampire raises green orifices to stare at cyprus.]  (?) is that how you really feel?  [it came out more as a question, a bit taken aback by the bold statement. although the red head couldn’t determine whether or not it was the truth.]  are you tired?  [hand reaching forward, but hesitating mid-way when the other leans back.]  it’s okay to admire, i was just teasing you. i’m sorry.

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀[his head turns away at such a speed, he’s afraid it’ll actually snap. voice cracking, high-pitched:]  what? no, i was just sleeping with my eyes open. not—admiringyourfaceoranything.. (hahaa).. ha. nevermind, forget what i said.

you’re staring, and oddly enough i’m growing self-conscious.  [he flips through another page of his novel,]  surely it isn’t my face? (i’m joking), but it’s better to be honest than keeping it internalized. 

@2deglove       i find that curiosity often fades when questions are left unanswered long enough.      [was it insulting for cyprus to signify his distrust to such an extent? while understandable, felize hid his vampirism that he believed there wouodn’t be such a struggle between them to begin with. unlikely to share his secret yet, the undead can only hope that this phase will dissipate eventually.]      a fool? no   . . perhaps i can see where you’re coming from.      [an earnest reply, his own hand retracted back to his side as the warmth would disappear in seconds and his body would render frozen all over again.]      do i scare you, cyprus? beyond the scope of startling you today.

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀You know I didn’t mean that. Avoiding my questions will only make me more curiouser, you must know that.  [The expression he’s making is unreadable now, although, he averts his eyes in plain awkwardness at his situation.]  Huh. Restless? That’s.. understandable, given the strange occurrences that’s been happening recently.. There’s been many rumors regarding the disappearances..  [His hand grasps the undead’s, too warm against their cold skin, rising to stand on his two feet. A moment too long passes until realization dawns upon Cyprus, immediately snatching his hand away from their grip in horror.]  (Ahem), s–sorry, sorry, I.. I’m making a fool of myself, aren’t I.

@2deglove       [honeycomb orifices linger just a second longer on the fallen man. lips curl, but eventually open to release a small cough to mask the desperate chuckle that wanted to escape. except a hand raises to his mouth to cover his amusement,]      i only came to visit, the campus seemed restless and so was i.    (who am i)?    . . you already know who i am, why do you question it? i’m sorry    —- let me help you up, cyprus.

@2deglove：You have nothing to worry for, I assure you. I believe I scared it away, but it luckily didn’t leave any scrapes on me.   [The smile is cautious, curated to hide the fangs that are behind his lips. Felize can’t help but feel that he was under Cyprus’ watchful eyes, jaw tightening.]   I certainly hope not, it might be best to tell everyone that there’s something out at night causing trouble for everyone. It’s alright, I don’t typically sleep at night, so I can keep watch for at least a couple of hours before I go.

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀Now you’ve just made me even grow more curious.. and a bit frightened.  [A small, gentle smile forms, eyes scrutinizing and scanning Felize’s face for any small details that he can pluck out from.]  A rabid animal is most likely.. I’m worried it’ll go after me. And, uhm, others, of course. I should report this.. And you didn’t see what happened? Are you sure? I wouldn’t want to see anyone be hurt.

@2deglove：I believe it must have been the wind.   [The vampire quickly diverts the topic, the window behind Felize swung wide open. His thumb dipping the last bit of his dinner into his mouth before turning around,]   I did, that’s why I came to survey the area. (Ahem), it might be better to return to the dorm room, who knows, there may be a rabid animal on the loose tonight.

@2deglove：[Felize was only curious to the other’s antics. Unable to understand, or fathom to what might’ve caused this nonsensical choice to peel un-touched fruit. Quietly, the vampire’s gaze falters on the wounded hand. Swallowing,]   No, you must have mistaken me. I was not  —attempting to make fun of you..   [another pause,]   Allow me to help you, to make it up to you.   [Hand reaches out, taking away the knife and fruit as if reprimanding Cyprus for hurting himself. But really, it was to divert his focus as he cuts the skin with ease.]   Will you eat all of this afterwards?

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀[The comment is met with silence. Cyprus, staring down at his palms, stained with the sticky juice from the pomegranate—and face reddened like the fruit—completely avoiding Felize’s gaze in shame.]  ..Are you offering to peel them for me, or here to only criticize me?  [Trembling hand that grasps the knife carelessly slices a small cut into the pad of his finger, prompting a hiss from Cyprus.]  (Ow).. ? Don’t stare at me like that. Cut it for me, will you?

—that’s your third.

@2deglove,      roses? obvious it may be, but it does get the message across. but what might be the flowers be for? not many request for them now, it’s rather late—is it someone special.

@ivampsuckyerblood:⠀ tulips? maybe. they do symbolize love.. though i prefer lily of the valley or hydrangeas for spring. but never roses. (too obvious).

—they’re most in season during spring.
