my boyfriend is a⌠vampire? âśđ˛ÖźęŠ .á
vampire! gojo x fem! reader / warnings: nothing much except typical vampire- ish topics, mentions of blood, religious-ish themes - this is a bit corny, i tried to make it equal parts comical and interesting and itâs just self indulgent :) enjoy
your boyfriend satoru has always been a bit⌠quirky, to say the least.
naturally, you never really paid much mind to it. you love him, and you do with all his quirks and his nerdy little habits, you love the way he treats you and the way he makes you laugh. and oh, heâs just so pretty. too pretty, perhaps - truly, a sight for sore eyes.
yours had been love at first sight, and you both knew that very well. from the moment you met his sapphire gaze, you knew you were done for, and so did he, because never had he found someone quite as bewitching as you in his whole - long, long - life.
but as the months passed, you begun to notice that although yes, your adorable goofy handsome boyfriend was nothing short of unusual, some things about him were downright⌠off.
and now that youâre actually thinking about it, maybe you should have realized sooner.
it all began when you invited him over at dinner at yours, and he ate, well⌠nothing. he only munched on the smallest bit of dessert that youâd prepared for him, and yes, he had mentioned having a sweet tooth, but you would have never thought that he would just come over and discard all the hard work youâd put into making a meal for him. after confronting him about it, he apologized, telling you that no, it was not about you! he was simply really sick that day, and âhis stomach hurtâ. since then, heâd only bought food for you, and almost never spent time with you during meals. looking back at it, when have you ever seen him eat?
the answer was, well, never.
the second thing about him was, by far, the strangest. he refused to touch you if you were wearing silver. of course, he always loved it when you dolled yourself up for him: how could he ever resist his pretty girlfriend, especially while adorned like the goddess you are? but even then, if you had any kind of jewellery on, he would always ask you the same question.
âbabe, what material is that?â
if you ever said silver, heâd immediately urge you to take everything off with some dumb excuse, like âyou donât need that, youâre already pretty as you are!â or, âoh, baby, you shouldnât wear that cheap shit, take it off. itâs on me, i know i should have bought you nicer jewellery. how about a nice white gold, hm?â
given the fact that, in the end, he had actually bought you white gold jewellery, youâd brushed it off as some weird ârich peopleâ habit. that was, until one day.
satoru hadnât really taken a good look at your hands. you were wearing a silver ring, and when youâd taken his hand, heâd immediately let go of it, almost jolting away from you. looking up at him, mortified, youâd asked him what was up with him. heâd played it off as nothing, but you, knowing him, had intercepted something different about his gaze, a slight twitch of his brow, an imperceptible quiver of his lip. was it pain? you didnât know anymore.
oh, and then there were his utterly absurd sleeping habits. satoru was almost never up in the mornings, and youâd rarely ever seen him earlier than sundown. still, you two would sometimes hang out in the mornings, but it would always shocked you when heâd nonchalantly admit that no, he hadnât gotten any sleep. and yet, there he was, as fresh as a rose. at first, it simply pissed you off: just how unfair had been nature, giving him all the grace and the beauty in the world without leaving any of it for other foolish, insignificant mortals? but then, you ended up just finding it strange.
of course, the fact that he always refused to visit any churches with you was weird. he constantly refused to step foot on holy grounds, no matter how much you begged him to come see the beautiful architecture with you. at your request, heâd always pout and say:
âbaby, do you want me to, what, die in there?â
at first, you thought he was joking. now you realize that, perhaps, he wasnât.
plus, satoru was no good at eluding your suspects, either - whenever youâd rave to him about any movie even remotely related to vampirism, heâd always laugh in your face, his most frequent sentence being:
âoh, sweet girl, those things are not realistic at all.â
the fact that he always said realistic and not real was beginning to make you tick.
you often stopped to think about another thing - the way he looked at you.
sometimes, usually in the quiet of the night, or in dull, sticky, dimlit evenings, you noticed the way his eyes would linger on you: half-closed, his long lashes casting a pretty shadow on his soft cheeks, his lips in a thin line, eyebrows raised ever so slightly. there was always, always something in his gaze, a kind of flicker that sometimes only lasted for a split second, a glimpse of an emotion you could never quite figure out. at first, you thought it was desire. you could always tell when he wanted you, but no - this was different. it almost looked like hunger. he was eating you alive with that cheshire cat grin of his, and it was so intense that it sometimes verged on the grotesque. still, in those moments, you could constantly feel like something was troubling him, a flash of shame in his cerulean irises, a hint of embarrassment.
and now, the sudden realization that your loving boyfriend satoru might not be who - or better, what - you think he is, comes at you in the corniest, most clichĂŠ way ever.
youâre watching twilight. and there, right there, it hits you for the slightest of seconds, right in the middle of that one cringeworthy scene of bella googling about edwardâs weird strength, speed and the cold touch of his hands. hysterical, you laugh at yourself for even remotely thinking about it.
your boyfriend is a⌠vampire? nonsense. youâre a big girl, you think, you should stop believing in things that would come straight out of a teenagerâs mind. get a grip.
and, momentarily, you do get a grip. until a few days later.
you and satoru are simply strolling around the city, until a gorgeous antique shop comes in your field of vision. like the spoiled girlfriend you are, you immediately drag him inside, strolling around the lovely, almost-organized clutter of the aisles, satoruâs hand in your back pocket as to not lose sight of you and because he would die for those brief, little moments of casual intimacy with you. as youâre walking, with satoru happily chatting your ear off and highly distracted by the obscene amount of pretty things around him, you catch your reflection in a mirror.
your heart drops when you notice that youâre the only person you see in it.
alarmed, you whip your head towards your boyfriend just to see him standing right next to you, his cold hand still in the back pocket of your jeans. you quickly side eye the mirror again, convinced that yes, youâre surely going mad, but the reflection proves you right once again. as you walk right past it, you canât see him, and yet heâs right there with you. weirdly enough, you donât feel as sick as you thought you would - no, youâre excited. to avoid him getting suspicious, you continue your day as if nothing happened. better to ponder at home - which you do, your head spinning with questions right after you set foot into your house.
youâd seen satoruâs reflection many times. so why on earth was that mirror different? were you really driving yourself crazy or were you simply a little too observant for your own good?
desperate and on a strange adrenaline rush, you turn to your computer in pure twilight fashion to look up the dumbest question you couldâve harbored.
âwhy canât vampires see their reflection?â
itâs childish, you think - at least, you do until you read the answer. then, everything aligns, like the blow of a time bomb, like an eclipse.
âmirrors backed with silver burn a vampireâs reflectionâ
it all just makes sense - the mirror in the antique shop was made with silver. they donât make mirrors like those anymore. youâre not crazy. or are you?
of course not, you tell yourself.
still, you think that you might just actually be unstable and that no, this is not real, and youâve just made it up, and you find yourself spiraling until the only possible answer presents itself to you. youâll ask him. either youâll make a fool out of yourself and you two will get to have a good laugh together, or youâll finally get the answer you need.
naturally, satoru doesnât have have an inkling of your suspicions. in fact, he hopes you donât notice anything. he hopes you donât see that, sometimes, when he looks at you, he can just feel how alive you are, how your blood runs warm and wild and vibrant into your veins, how the flush in your cheeks makes him want to touch you all over, feel your warmth, your humanness. your mortality enthrals him, from the beat of your heart to the flutter of your eyes as you fall asleep next to him. his isnât a gaze of hunger - at least, not the kind you think. itâs more visceral and desperate than what he would feel for a prey. itâs a new kind of vulnerability for him, a new feeling, and itâs deep and itâs new and it tastes saccharine sweet.
he wants you, he needs you. he is hungry for you.
that, perhaps, is a danger to him more than to you.
