The B and C Variant covers!

Despite the nightmare storm that was clouding up Kieran's mind by replaying Stoker's last words on an endless loop, the vampire forced himself to carry on as he returned to school. Summer vacation was quickly approaching which meant studying for finals, submitting his college applications, his vet tech internship applications, and planning any meetups with his growing circle of friends. He couldn't let anyone know the events over the weekend had deeply shaken him.

'You turned out just like me' Kieran heard in Stoker's voice in his head, 'All I wanted was to be a father to you. I'm proud of you.' The words festered and ate at him relentlessly. The malice, the palpable disdain for his former sire refused to go away.

Sure the words bothered him now, but surely if he pushed all those feelings down, he was sure it would eventually fade. His past traumas always did. Time heals, and this too would pass. He didnt have time nor did he want to even address this one at all. Kieran rather this die just like Stoker.

At the end of the day, he approached Spelldon at his locker. It was the first afternoon after school since he got back. He needed a good distraction from the darkness plaguing him.

vampire walked down the hallway positively fuming. He could usually turn heads with his proud swagger and charm, but today students that saw him, made sure to stay out of his way. The glow in his eyes, his tense energy made them steer clear of him while he walked past.

The vampire struggles not to blush, "Well, I just call him 'darlin'. I haven't found a pet name that suits him otherwise. Not to speak for him, but I don't think he's all that fond of the lovely dovey couple stuff anyway." Valentine chuckles, "I try to keep it casually romantic...if that makes sense?"
