I was typing out this ask and my phone restarted smh
Okay, so I have an idea, older werewolf or vampire (up to you) who tries to manipulate younger reader and at first they are successful but quickly reader realizes or read or knew all along and was playing their own mind games
Also, I'm totally obsessed with your bull/humbo fics (actually just everything your write)
It's okay, I understand this feeling all too well as my Tumblr fucking crashes when I post drafts sometimes and it takes ten minutes to remember to actually post.
He'd been doing this for centuries, find some pretty, younger human to string along for a few years, maybe a decade or two, and then dump them the moment the allure wore off.
You were simply the latest in the long line of victims he'd had, humans loved having a vampire lover after all, and you seemed no different. He'd used a meagre part of the riches he'd accumulated to keep you interested, happy, and willing to give a sip or two of blood every now and then, by all accounts he thought you blind, smitten, and perfectly manipulated in the ways he wanted you to be. So how on earth did he end up here, sitting in a home he'd helped you fund, decorate, and renovate, listening to the human he had thought clueless tell him they are breaking up with him?
You were saying something, it was probably important but he's too thrown to actually process the situation, cutting you off mid sentence and asking if he'd heard you right and that you were breaking up with him! That can't be right, he laughs, exasperated and confused, blindly fumbling for the first time in his long, long undead life to get the human he thought he had in the plan of his hand to stay, to keep picking him, even as said human makes a face like they tasted something sour.
This isn't how it goes, it isn't, so he moves in the blink of an eye, caging you against the vintage couch he'd paid to get restored for you, cooing softly that he can fix this, make it right if you just give him the chance. Completely unraveling, fraying at the time worn edges of his personality, pulling his phone out and dialling numbers to get private tables and other expensive gifts lined up for you, turning his back and missing the way you have to hold back laughter at the sudden desperate need for your attention.
You'd figured out his little game about six months into this whole process, the illusion shattering when you found a few identical necklaces to the one he gave you, the one he swore was a one of a kind thing just for you. Since then you've been riding the wave of his 'attentions' for the benefit it gave you, you one your home, have all the things you need, and the dick was good enough to linger around for this long but it was beginning to lose its appeal.
So here you are, acting the awed human as the vampire in front of you spirals just a little more before you step in again and offer him one more chance, letting him think he's still running the game, when you're simply curious how he will try to keep you around this time.
