Okay, so this wasn't from my old notes on my old phone, the last two chapters were. This was something I came up with on the fly a month ago or so. Had a hard time writing for this for the most part.
I know I didn't mention this is the last chapter, but the cemetery Lance went to last chapter is a 'special' kind. Basically there's this old being that's smart about how he does things and had been alive for a long time. This person has had many aliases, so he's gained a lot of money and 'power' (I guess, maybe not) and has inquired land over time. He turned this land into a cemetery for monsters only. (There's going to be like, one or two humans in there, but I'll have another chapter about that later.) The land is still privately owned and that's how he dictates who gets buried there or not. His excuse to the public (humans) is that there are 'special' people who are to be buried there and other are not. People don't really understand his 'reason', but the town was stopped questioning it at this point. (However it is still a weird place for people and they talk about it a lot still.)
And no, this cemetery from chapter 6 is not the same place as the 'cemetery-place' Lance mentioned in chapter 5. This cemetery is in the 'human world' while the cemetery-like place is in the 'other side'. (Which is technically a different realm that human "can't" (using that term loosely 'cuz there are ways) enter to.
Lance was fucking ecstatic today. Everything seemed to be going his way. He didn't have any homework from college, barely met any red lights while driving, and didn't have any unwanted interactions with anybody from the 'other realm'. That was a very nice touch, he had to admit.
Lance was being a gluttony. He couldn't help it. While his need for blood was quenched, being hungry for blood could happen. He was just able to control it since he already had his 'monthly' meal per se. But this was fucking Matt Holt for crying out loud. This was the man he was dating since he was still human, so forgive him if he wanted a taste. After all, Matt was already bleeding. "Are you okay?" Lance asked, standing behind the shorter male. Correction, Matt has been bleeding. The boy keeps cutting his fingers by accident trying to make dinner for their friends. Lance's eyes were drawled to his cut and he had to mentally slap himself, because, no. Now is definitely not the time.
"Uhhh, I'll live." Matt started to clean his cut with water. He made a face while doing so, it must have stung. He was just trying to cut up some carrots, as he was trying to make some type of stew. But it became apparent why he didn't like cooking. Matt, cannot cook for shit; and that was a fact as funny as it was.
"Stay here, I'll get some band-aids." Lance gave him a pat on the shoulder and skipped off to the bathroom where the first aid kit lays. He quickly found it within seconds, already knowing where they were. Right behind the mirror cabinet above the white stranded porcelain sink. "Here you are.~"
"Alright, that's it. Stop with all the cutting. I'll do it." Lance gently pries the kitchen knife from the hands of his boyfriend grip. "Shoo, shoo." He ushered him out of the kitchen despite Matt's protest. "Nope, this is the third time you've cut your hand. Bleed anymore and I might bite you." He joked. And all honestly, it was a joke. But we'll get back to that later.
Everyone sat down at the large table. Technically it was a medium size table with a smaller table put next to it as there were 8 people. The 8 of them being Shiro, Keith, Hunk, Lance, Pidge, Matt, Allura, and Coran. There was stew, bread rolls, mashed potatoes, and carrots. Just plain ol' carrots. Just 'cuz. It was Lance's idea, he felt like it would be very out of place and funny. "Isn't it weird that we're just having a random dinner party for no reason?" Everyone gazes trailed over to Hunk, and he gave them a look back of 'think about it...'.
"To be fair, this was a random day where everyone was free for a few hours. So no, I wouldn't call this random; more like a hangout with home cooked food." Pidge gestured over to the mashed potatoes before putting a few spoonfuls onto her plate. "Can someone pass the gravy?" Keith leaned over to give her the pitcher that was labeled gravy. "Sweet." She mumbled.
"Huh, good point. I feel old now." Hunk shrugged and started to fill his plate and bowl.
"Don't feel old!" Lance pied up. "We ain't in our 30s yet. Enjoy life, my dude." He gestured this time out to the table and everyone either laugh or groaned at his statement.
Keith shook his head from his seat besides Shiro. A humored smile was painted on his face. "Regardless, I don't think any of us are going to pass down free food." Murmurs of agreements and soft laughter passed through.
"Like, yassss." Allura used a mock valley girl tone. Because she could and was tried from a business trip she got back from with her father. Giggles likes children emitted. "No but seriously," she added as she gave Coran a few uncooked carrots, "Lance knows know how to cook. I mean, Hunk's better but-" she places her hand out Hunk arm, laughing along with the table mates. "But it's good. And I know you helped too Matt." Cue the 'ok' hand sign from her.
Dinner was fun. Everyone had gathered together at the table and ate, talked, and gossiped among other things. It was loud, but in a calm cheerful manner. It was also weird to think that there was another universe, another timeline; another reality even, where they couldn't enjoy this kind of time with each other, like things were always getting serious over there. But that was just a thought, it's not actually real. Well...yeah maybe it is, however this is not that universe.
This is a better one. Probably. Maybe?
"Hey." Lance bumped shoulders with Matt. The little 'dinner party' or hangout from a better lack of terms ended about 20 minutes ago as the last person left. However Pidge was staying the night as she was too lazy to go back to her dorm. She already crashed into one of guest rooms. (Aka, her old room. It still had some of her stuff in there too. Matt owned the parents' house now, Samuel and Colleen are in retirement now.) "Want me to clean up? You can go finish your book."
"Yeah, that would be nice. Thanks." Matt sighted and walked into the living room to grab the book Lance was talking about. He only had like, 25 more chapter to go. Yay.
Things happen, and once again, Lance was being a gluttony. This was probably the worst times to be doing this, especially with the fact Pidge was sleeping in the house as well. Yet here they were, on the couch. Lance was straddling over Matt; the shorter but older male seemed unamused by his boyfriend's antics. "Seriously, you're hungry? I thought you already feed this month."
"I did." Replied Lance. "However I'm thirsty for more." He winked at him and received a groan for the other boy.
"Was that a pun?"
Lance laughed, clutching the top parts of the couch with his hands. "No, but you can take it as that. I just mean you keep cutting your fingers and then you reopen one of them during dinner. I just really want to-" He didn't get to finish his statement as Matt pushed away his face with his hand.
"Whoa, slow down there cowboy. My sister's here. We can't have her walk in on us doing that." He sounded flustered and was starting to turn a shade of red.
Lance pouted with his hands on his hips. "You make it sound like we're going to something else, if you know what I mean." He raised an eyebrow and laughed. He just wanted to drink some of Matt's blood, but as Matt just stated, Pidge was sleeping over. He truly did not want a repeat of the 'Keith incident' with the baby of the group. That's just how things work. Besides, he's pretty sure Nyma's going to handcuff him to a tree if he flubs up one more time with that stuff. "Oh come on Matt, I'll be quick. Just a little nibble, besides, I barely drink more than a single human's blood a month."
Matt squinted in suspicion. "Isn't that how your feeding schedule's supposed to work?"
Lance had a reply forming on the tip of his tongue, something to say—
"What schedule?" A sleepy tried voiced filtered through the hallway. They turned to see Pidge walking up the hall, slouched posture and glasses missing. She rubbed at her eye, how adorable.
Matt shoved Lance off of him and the taller boy went down with an 'ofph'. "Hey Katie." His tone was so nonchalant and casual; it was almost as if there wasn't on groaning vampire on the floor below him.
She frowns with un-amusement. "I don't care what you two were doing." She stopped just shy of the couch. "I just want to get a glass of water." Pidge turned towards the kitchen. "I genuinely want to get back to sleep."
The night ended there. The Holt siblings went to sleep and Lance was left to sleep on the couch. The vampire wasn't tired enough and left through a window to visit some buddies of his. Maybe get a late night snack...again he was a little hungry...
Sometime you just can't yourself; everyone's a gluttony once and awhile.
Oh boy, I really had trouble with this one. I was writing this and had a goal in mind, but the way I wrote it was weird, so then I got stuck. Then I started writing for this again, but I got to a part where I didn't like it at all, but felt like it was appropriate for the characters involved. Then I keep rephrasing that part. Then I felt like deleting this whole chapter…but I really hate deleting my writing, so I rewrote the part I didn't like and just ended it. Ugh, I guess this chapter is just filler. :p
The next two chapters are going to be part 2 of chapter 4 and a funnier chapter. No sure which one I'll work on first. I might write another one through Shiro's POV, since that's what I wrote the initial drabble in. Then I switched over to Lance's and like, I just realized I was doing that yesterday?
I ALSO NEED TO WRITE MORE CORAN and Allura of course, she bae,,, BUT CORAN IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. WHY DID I DO HIM AN INJUSTICE?!
