Author's comments- I wanted to put a chapter that mentions a proposal in the fanfic and Kenzo having a nightmare. The nightmare part and the scene where Grimmer proposed to Kenzo are italic. The idea for Grimmer's costume came from a monster fanart found on Tumblr.


Grimmer and Kenzo were on their way to their hotel room from a Halloween party they attended, which was at a friend's studio apartment. Grimmer was dressed as Dracula (1931) while Kenzo didn't dress as anyone specific but dressed as a nameless prince wearing a royal blue and white cloths with a silver masquerade mask.

Everyone at the party was either, drinking, chatting in a group, or dancing. Kenzo was on the balcony by himself, enjoying the cool fresh air. Grimmer embraced him in his arms and playfully stated "You're blood is alluring." Kenzo turned around to face his lover.

"Do you plan on sucking my blood?" He asked playfully.

Grimmer chuckled. "There's something I wanted to ask you." He pulled a small black box out of his pocket and opened it. Inside was a gold ring. "Will you marry me Kenzo Tenma?"

"Yes." They embraced each other and kissed for a moment before going back inside to announce the news of their engagement.

The walk was calm and peaceful, it's apart of a perfect a night he had with Grimmer. For the past month Kenzo had this uncomfortable feeling of being watched. Tonight that feeling wasn't present. It felt wonderful to feel at ease.

They arrived at their hotel room. Kenzo opened the door and closed it after they went in. They took off their shoes. Grimmer wrapped his arms around Kenzo's waist and playfully bites his neck.

Kenzo gasped lightly from the touch of the fake vampire teeth. Grimmer released him after kissing him on the cheek. They took off their costumes, changed into their sleepwear, and went to sleep.

Kenzo is in his bedroom reading the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. He stops reading when he heard tapping on window and looked over at the window. He didn't see anything.

"Kenzo do you have a moment?" A voice asked.

Thinking it was Grimmer; he allowed the person to come in. "Come in." The mysterious person turns out to be Johan. He opens the door and walks in. He's holding a bag in his hand.

"Johan?" Kenzo was surprised for a moment but he doesn't let his wrong bother him. "Is there something you wanted?"

"I have a gift for you."

"You didn't have to." Johan pulls out a box from his bag and hands it to Kenzo. He opens the box and finds a severed head of Grimmer. Dread, sorrow, and fear floods Kenzo's mind. He drops the box onto the floor.

"I told you 'I won't let anyone have you' Kenzo." Johan walks up to Kenzo and pins him on the bed. He moves his head next to Kenzo's ear and whispers, "Embrace me, Kenzo."

Kenzo woke up breathing heavily and sweating bullets. It was just a dream, a nightmare. He gets up and sits on the side of the bed. His body trembled madly.

Grimmer woke up and found Kenzo awake, sitting on the side of the bed, looking at the window. "Everything alright?"

"Huh?" Kenzo turned around, facing him. "Yes?"

"Did I wake you up?"

"No."

"Bad dream?"

Talking about the dream would just bring up unneeded anxiety. He wanted to forget about it. "Go back to sleep. I'll be fine." Grimmer nodded and closed his eye. Kenzo waited a few more minutes before doing the same.
