Incubus!Regulus

Urge

Life was not exactly a walk in the park for Regulus.

Well, he supposed it wasn't really easy for anyone, but that did not truly matter right now. he was hungry.

The problem being that Regulus was an Incubus and thus relied on sexual acts to feed him. Consensual ones only, even if literally every single tale about this species told another story.

Yeah, he'd say knew the truth just a little better than them.

Back to his problem. He was all alone, following a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. Already too weak to teleport or walk into dreams.

The Incubus silently cursed his past self. Why hadn't he done something against this hunger earlier?

Because the person he had had in mind had turned out to be a sex-repulsed asexual, that's why. That didn't really work out for a consensual sexual act, so he needed to find someone else as quickly as possible.

He didn't even necessarily need a full feeding, just a small bit, just enough to find someone else, somewhere.

Provided he managed to survive that long.

Regulus continued to follow the road, hoping to see anything appear on the horizon with every single step. So far it had not worked out.

Every step proved to be harder than the one before; it could not be long until he would collapse, but he needed to get to the city.

Then, he heard a strange pop behind him. Regulus spun around.

"I must confess, I was not expecting to see anyone here," the tall, dark haired man said. If Regulus were to ignore the crooked nose and the hair he'd actually be quite attractive.

And given how exhausted the incubus was he was ready to ignore just about everything.

"Well, I hoped and prayed for it," he replied honestly. "May I ask why you are here?"

The human shook his head forcefully and glared at him. "No, you may not."

"That's alright, I guess. It's not like it's my business or anything." He shrugged.

The human took a few seconds to process what Regulus had just said, before frowning. "Are you being sarcastic?"

He had not expected that, but he could see his statement being interpreted as such. "What? No, I'm just kinda...hungry...and exhausted."

"Were you robbed or something?" The human himself seemed to be surprised by his question.

"Not exactly," the incubus answered slowly.

"What could you possibly mean with that?"

"As you may or may not have noticed—I can never tell with you wizards—that I am not human." Regulus did not know why he did it, but he told the stranger exactly what happened.

Okay, he was lying to himself. He knew exactly why he was doing this and what he hoped to get out of it.

He somehow convinced the human, Severus Snape, to help him. Neither of them remembered how or when, but the human agreed to feed Regulus.

Of course the incubus had to give something in return.

So he helped Severus with a certain agenda of his.

Please tell me what you think!
