trashy vampire/demon shipping

[ Demon summoning was something simple for one who's grown though all these Era. And sometimes, a vampire grew... tired. Especially after basically everybody he cared for had vanished. Staff in his hands, blood of Voidsent (he knew Spoken Blood called stronger but he felt no desire to use that right now) spilled in his Summoning Circle, he was ready.

Of course, he wouldn't do this in the Waking Sands. No, he had retreated to his secret Manor, hidden in harsh fog. Having shed his makeup - having let his skin go back to pale grey - the vampire Scion had a grin on his face as he recited the spell. He had drawn a sigil he drew quite often, the incubus who he felt a long-drawn connection to - summoning him at the times where he needed somebody to trust and talk to. And gave payment of sex and food.

Not that he knew that the incubus had become his friend as well. ]

Demon of life and love, I call to thee, though halls of Desire. Hear thy call!

[ Incense burned around, soft smells bellowing though the halls. He was ready. The spell was cast. ]

[A chuckle as he's led down the corridors. He knows where they're heading... having been there many times before. And he lets the other continue.]

Will you stay with me while I rest? We have much to catch up on.

I would be a bad friend if I were to abandon you now. [ Though he could also be trapped in the sun again, if he were to truly leave. And that always hurts, having to regenerate after being turned to statue.

And his posture even seems happier. ] That we do - there is a lot I wonder about now. I'd not known you to choose to linger.

[ As they enter the master bedroom - one of the few rooms he kept well-kept - he couldn't help but focus his gaze on his demonic friend. ]

Minfilia. I got caught up. She's the only other who knew the truth. [He pauses in speaking as he removes his shoes and climbs into the bed, still fully clothed. He doesn't care right now.]

I wanted to make sure she achieved her goals. Became the woman who would lead. And I did.

...And now she shall someday return, even if it takes another Era. You did well, for one of Darkness.

[ He says, as he climbs on him... and begins to undress him. Mostly to get him comfortable. Beings like them... time was different for them. ]

But you would tell her, and not I? ...Did you not see though my disguise as Duskwight?

[He shifts enough to make it easier for him to undress him, settling back down when he's done. It is more comfortable.]

I didn't tell her... she discovered it. When she was younger, she found me fighting off some voidsent, in my real form.

Before you learned your blades better? [ He gently said, laying down next to him when it was done. ]

Mortal bonds are... amazing. Did she not hide from a demon? [ Though he has a little smile on his face. Removing his own vest and top, at least. ]

Yes. I was outnumbered and needed the power. So I shifted. [He moves to curl against his friend.]

Not when she realized who I was. Although, it may have helped that I collapsed and shifted back right after. She saw the entire process.

[ And Urianger curls around him, letting out a familiar purr. ]

I rarely battle - for I do not want to get into a situation such as that. But you were always reckless.

[ But he's begun to hold him a little closer, with his gentle voice. ] Something so private... at least it was simply her, and not anybody who'd try and abuse your strengths, friend. Fetters don't suit you.

I have always been glad for that. [He rests a hand against where Urianger's heart should beat, but knows he'll feel nothing.]

It could have ended up worse, but not so. Instead, she helped me home, and we discussed it. She was never really afraid.

[ There's a slight flinch - but that's just because he's used to Spoken trying to touch him there. He places one of his hands against the one against where his heart would have been, so long ago. ] If I'd known you were here... I may have done much more dangerous. Knowing we still have our bond, forevermore.

[ A pause, however. ] ...Did I ever come up, as you explained? The ancient guardian of knowledge. Or did you wish to simply speak of yourself? ...I've many questions. But we do have time to catch up.

Yes, you did. [Resting his head on his friend's shoulder, he continues.] As my longest friend. No secrets were shared.

Although, I think she wished to meet you. Someone who's known me since the first era.

Fore even Astral and Umbral were seen as cycles... [ he let out a sigh, looking so relaxed. ] If you'd explained, I think...

...I would have trusted her, as you do. Does it not feel odd? To trust those mortals so.

Mortal, but the word of the Mother. She was trustworthy as so. I think we both knew that though, somehow. [He sighs and wraps his arms tighter around Urianger.]

Give me a few minutes, then we can have a bit of fun.

...She will return. She promised as much.

You can rest for as long as you want, dearest friend. We have eternity - though I shall need to return to my disguised life. I was not ready to end this life.

[ Not when he feels others still want him. He still holds curiosity about the Warrior of Light, after all. ]

...But it remains fun for you? And here I wondered why you'd live as a flirt. Do you not worry about exposure? [ He says, as he then gives him a kiss on the forehead. ]

I know. It was... hard to let go. But, I was a father to her.

As for us, we are needed back there at some point. But not right now. I'm sure they'll call if they need me. [He reaches to tap his linkpearl.]

No, not as much as I used to. At this point, I've been around so much people will think any accusations of the truth? As rumors.

Someday, I hope... well, those twins are like children to I. But my heart is not as warm as yours. [ ...was that a joke. ] And I fear Alisaie has not enough life to understand me.

[ ...Perhaps he'll turn them. Then again, his usual turnings only lasted a few centuries before they turned to full monsters. A sigh, as he turned to touching his own useless linkpearl. ] ...I was considering getting the sigil soon. Perhaps we should... bond further? I'd not mind making some form of deal with you - telepathy for ownership.

...And that is a quite good plan. I-- I tend to feed on those who fall to becoming thralls. That is why I am glad to take care of them.

They are still young. Sometime, they will forgive, and understand, what you had to do. [He nuzzles at Urianger's chest a moment, thinking about what he was proposing.]

Define ownership. I do like being a free demon. But being able to talk to you more seems... a good price.

That they shall - though I wonder if I shall need to move on before they do?

Well. [ he said, sitting up - helping his dear partner to lay down, and fluffing another pillow up for him. ] I could never take your freedom. We've tried so many times before - to own each other. [ Mostly because he doesn't want to be left, but he moves on and has to. Perhaps this would prevent that?

A pause, and then he takes one of Thancreds' hands... and placed it to where his heart would be. ] My soul. What I would leave if I could die. We both carry them inside us.

An exchange could be a worthy price.

You can just hope they do. And if they don't.... Maybe leave them a journal or letter explaining. When they're older, they'll understand. [He lays against the pillows and listens... Thinking.]

How would it work? [Sitting up, he rests one of Urianger's hands against his still beating heart.] I would like to be.... Closer to you.

[ A journal... his words, turning to legends. He should do it. But his eyes seem to sparkle a little. ]

That is the hardest part - for while we exchange, using spells from the Fifth Era, there shall be a time wherein our emotions fade. While the soul holds emotion and will both, the process was devised to try and create artificial immortality. For mortals, the process drained their minds, but I theorize it wouldn't do that for beings like us.

...Unless your demonic strengths can be used to assist the process.

[He's rambling. And while Thancred loves listening to that voice ramble, he's getting hungry. So, he leans over and interrupts him with an open mouthed kiss.]

I'll leave the magic to you, you just tell me what you need me to do. [He sprains backwards, giving Urianger a nice view of his body.] Now though, I'm starving. Fuck me, my friend, so I may eat.

[ A small gasp from the kiss... and a grin. ]

Gladly, dearest friend. Feed.

[ And so, he finally begins. Gentle, of course. Just going with the flow, like when Thancred feeds on him.

Afterwards, however, he's laughing a little. Body having dropped any glamours, looking fully vampire-esque. Laying on top of his demonic... lover. Lover? Why did that word enter his mind. ]

[Thancred lies there afterward, full, sated, and happy. Happy? Content. Just there with this man he called his closest friend... Even lover in his head. Even though he had his own trysts with mortals.

He hums as he stretches his wings, as he went back to his true form during their session, then wraps one around his friend, reaching to caress the tattoo on his face.]

Now that I'm more awake, tell me of this bonding. This swapping of souls. For I wish to be closer to you, friend.

[ He lets out a moan, cuddling into the wing and the touch. Bright gold eyes focused on Thancred. ]

This exchange... it is one I've studied for a long time. [ He's wanted this for a long time. ] Lesser demons oft take souls as payments for desires, and yet those who hold it remain themselves. I was hoping you could... use similar processes. Give each other to each other, forevermore.

[ He's smiling. You got him to smile as he explained. ] Though you would still be able to feed on my Aether - it always feels the best.

Yes... I do have this ability. I just didn't want to suggest it. Didn't want to scare someone I've know for so long away.it would connect us forever, as you said... And if one of us is killed, the backlash would be imminent, and horrific.

[He pauses. He enjoys that smile.] Are you willing to risk that? Be connected to me for eternity?
