“One of Alastair’s hands grips onto the waist of Oliver’s torn jeans and the other rakes into that beautiful, curly mess of brown hair. 

Alastair finds himself pushing, starving for a kind of affection he has long lacked in his life. The curve of Oliver’s back increases as he leans into him. Alastair spreads his hand wide against the curve of Oliver’s spine and parts his lips in a further attempt to devour the other."

The Vampiric Lenoir siblings enjoy a life of fame and wealth thanks to their parents' successes in selling ethical vampiric products in this modern world. Alastair, the middle child, has resigned himself to a life of service. Namely, keeping his siblings out of trouble and the good name of their parents out of the tabloids. That is until he meets a particularly handsome necromancer who claims to have invented plant-based vegan blood all on his own.

Blood, Coffee, and Cream

“Close down? What do you mean close down?!” Lea blurts, clearly shocked and irritated that this is what Alastair had suggested first. 


They're all in the process of clearing the table. Oliver and Lea do most of the work, making it look easy. Oliver dashes upstairs before they’re finished to fetch something. 


Alastair follows behind Azazel nervously clinking glasses together as he brings them to the kitchen to deposit them in the sink. Alastair keeps him from dropping three different glasses in the process. 


This is still not as bad as Virdia drunkenly trying to help and balance on her heels at the same time. After Alastair keeps her from falling a second time, she makes the painful decision to kick off her heels and wobble the rest of the way to the sink in only stockings.
