I really wanted to do a vampire AU. Though i had two prompts i was considering, i ultimately came up with this.

Enjoy :)

START OF CHAPTER:

As a vampire, Hajime had lived in many places over the years. Europe, Asia, pretty much everywhere at some point or another.

Wandering was usually better for vampires, if you stayed in one place to long, people questioned why you didn't age. It was either that, or going through the legal hassle of 'handing down' and having each generation supposedly looking the same as his predecessor. Or you could just isolate yourself somewhere and live in peace. So between those three options, he had opted to travel.

But eventually, he had settled down in Japan.

"Hey, Hajime…"

And there were some days…

"Do the thing."

He regretted it because…

"Please?"

Because of his boyfriend.

Nagito Komaeda was rather odd, by human standards. Though he had seen worse, for some reason the boy with the white hair interested him. So against the vampire norm, he started dating him, leading him to give up his wandering lifestyle and settle down, against his better judgement.

But goddamit…

"C'mon Hajime, pretty please?"

The brunette sighed, he wouldn't give this up would he?

"Fine…."

He turned towards his boyfriend.

"I vant to suck your blood." He deadpanned, making fake 'claws' with his hands.

This set the other off giggling, laughing so hard he almost fell off the couch they were both sitting on.

As much as he loved Nagito, he could be such a little shit sometimes.

Sometime after he had come to Japan, he had come across the boy alone passing through an alley at night. So naturally, he had been fully prepared to have his usual feed and leave.

But instead, when he revealed his vampire nature, it never mattered since they were always made to forget (Hajime had never liked killing), this strange person with the white hair had started giggling. Why was he laughing? People were normally scared when cornered by something like him.

Of course, the first words the albino had spoken, were asking if he didn't sparkle… brilliant.

Those goddamn movies really hadn't done much for the reputation of vampires. They'd gone from dark and mysterious monsters to love-sick sparkling saps, according to the movie going public. Especially with teenage girls. So all in all… just no.

But, something stood out about this boy. He didn't know what it was, but something about his attitude and demeanour interested him. For some reason, he felt as if this was a complicated puzzle, and he wanted to solve it.

As time went by, he slowly befriended the strange boy with the white hair, whose name he learnt was Nagito Komaeda. And eventually, this friendship transitioned into a relationship.

One day he had sat the other down, and asked him if he was okay with this, if he fully understood what it meant to date a being such as him. But the other had insisted, he knew what he wanted, and he would accept Hajime no matter what.

"As long as you don't replace my whole fridge with blood packets." He had said teasingly.

He had then educated his now-boyfriend on the truths and lies about vampire lore. They could eat regular human food, though they didn't need to, it was really the blood that was vital. And they could actually be out during they day, vampire were just more active at night because it was harder for mortals to see them feeding (or doing other vampire stuff, whatever that was). And for gods sake no, they did not goddamn sparkle.

The other had laughed at Hajime's face while he explained that last one.

Though… he should've known the peace couldn't last.

Nagito had come up terminally ill, to both their shock. But then, after a few days of being unusually silent, Nagito had made a request.

He wanted Hajime to turn him into a vampire as well.

His knee-jerk reaction was to say no, to refuse. He had known some older vampires in the past who hadn't given such choice. And for an instant, the resulting misery had flashed through his mind. He couldn't do that to Nagito, he couldn't push the other into eternal suffering like that.

But Nagito had insisted, near begged Hajime to do it right then and there. He had almost cried when he said he didn't want to leave him. And though Hajime was reluctant, he would miss the other too. Though it had only been a matter of years, he had seriously fallen in love with the other boy, and would miss him terribly when he died.

So with both conflicting thoughts in his mind, he had made Nagito a compromise.

He would do it, but only when he had to. Even though Nagito had made it abundantly clear that he wanted to do this, he was fully willing and had made his choice, he wanted the other to experience as much of his human life while he still could. As much as he understood why Nagito wanted to hurry the process, there was no going back once he was no longer mortal. At first Nagito was reluctant, but seeing the logic, he had agreed.

So for the time being, they lived happily together in Nagito's family mansion. Hajime ironically thought it would make an ideal stereotypical vampire hangout, a large mansion on the edge of town? Yeah, the thought had made him laugh once or twice. Once, Nagito had asked what the joke was, and after having it explained to him, he saw the humour in it too.

Until the promised time came, they were together, and they were happy.

That's what mattered.

—

"Hey Hajime, can we have garlic bread tonight?"

"Think you'll explode if we attend someone's wedding?"

"Can i use you as a replacement disco ball at home? No? Shame."

Such. A. Little. Shit.

Even thought he damn well knew that most of the vampire myths were bullshit, he continued to be a little smart-ass and ask questions like this.

The flat looks he received at such inquiries only seemed to amuse his lover further.

Though he would probably never stop teasing with the sarcastic questions, Hajime loved him all the same. As exasperated as he got with him some days, he could never seem to stay angry for long.

He'd lived a lot of places in his time, for sure…

But he'd rather live nowhere else then here.

END OF CHAPTER:

I don't think i spent as much time focusing on the title prompt as i probably should have, but i hope what i've written makes up for it.
