Declan, as he stood in the doorway, was struck once again how contradictory Vince was to his senses. Well, vampires in general, to be more specific. The witch knew that the vampire was in his kitchen because the constant activity going on around him such as the micro-changes in the air, vibrations from both outside forces and inside his apartment, told him. Fluctuating temperatures and pressure in the room, etc., etc. Yet, there was a distinctive, very Vince-shaped void in the room, too. All the things like breathing, a body’s production of chemicals and hormones, and especially the sound of a heartbeat, were all absent. Save for the subtle and distinctive scent of decay and Vincent’s movement, Declan would have no idea the vampire was even present.
A smile splashed across his mouth at the statement as the witch stretched, a sleepy groan spilling from his mouth that ended in a yawn. As he shuffled into the room, narrowly missing the edge of a chair, he shrugged into his robe and navigated his way into the kitchen where he paused at Vincent’s back, resting his cheek on the vampire’s shoulder. There, he took a long moment to simply enjoy the silence the other’s presence offered, before Declan finally said something incomprehensible into Vincent’s neck that could’ve been anything from, “Good morning,” to, “You hogged the sheets again last night, dick,” before pressing a kiss to his shoulder and moving to one side to seek out his cup of coffee.
