been thinking about my vampires smp sitcom au (basically an au of the vsmp in a sitcom genre instead of horror) and i imagine the whole "avid believes in vampires but those aren't real thats ridiculous" bit would go on for a LONG time.
like one or two seasons of sheer ridiculous hi-jinks, avid trying desperately to prove scott is a vampire. maybe owen too (he starts to get suspicious of him in the second season) and NO-ONE believing him.
oh scotts eating raw meat? oh avid hes just pretentious, you know how the rich like their steak tartar! scott can't eat garlic? hes allergic! scott's disappearing at night? avid, his skin care routine is extensive. leave the man alone.
over the course of several seasons, avid slowly develops feelings for scott, just as he does in canon. theres a whole bplot about avids self realization and his coming out, except, since in this au scott and owen don't turn anyone, he does so without the whole turning bloodily into a vampire bit.
throughout it all he begins to let the vampire thing go. he finally leaves those crazy theories behind and realizes how intense he was being over a little crush. after a while, he works up all his courage and confesses to scott, not expecting much after all that fuss,
only for scott to be so surprised by the confession, he turns into a bat in front of avid
