💏 malryk

send me a 💏 and i will randomise a number in order for my muse to kiss yours…

26. …as an apology.

Malachi had forgiven him for what had happened, but that didn’t mean he had forgotten all about it. Henryk knew he didn’t blame him for the cheating, but his lover still refused to share his bed. Though it saddened him, he didn’t push for it. Malachi deserved as much time as he needed to gather himself. Henryk considered it a small miracle that he was even willing to forgive him, and he would wait for him.

Time ticked by with slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Henryk didn’t eat as much anymore, he preferred to be himself for as long as he could, even if it meant getting a little hungry by the end of a few days. Not the best plan of action when he meant to be around his vampire lover, but Malachi needed him, not some weird version of himself, and if he could avoid getting all confused around him, he would.

He had lost count of how many weeks had gone by before Malachi joined him in bed. Henryk was lying on his side when he felt the bed shift. Peeking over his shoulder, he watched the vampire lie down next to him. Despite joining him, Malachi had his back turned to him. Henryk wondered what that meant, if he was supposed to lie there and pretend he hadn’t noticed they were sharing the bed again. Sounded like bullshit to him.

Henryk decided to take the risk and moved closer to him, throwing an arm over his side and pressing his front into his back. He knew Malachi preferred to be the little spoon and maybe that was just what he wanted then. To be held. He would hold him for as long as he wanted if that was the case. Henryk didn’t say anything, he just stayed in place with one arm thrown over him to keep him close, pressing small, tender kisses to his shoulder and nape. It was both an apology and a mean to show how thankful he was that he was there.

VERSE: WELCOME TO ASHBOURNE

CHARACTERS: HENRYK BARCZAK

DATE: APRIL 14TH, 2019

LOCATION: ASHBOURNE

There was something wrong with Henryk. Ever since Ariana’s blood ritual disconnected him from his sireline, everything was upside down. He expected it to be hard, but it started to feel more like it was impossible. Starving was a cruel challenge and now that it had been solved, Henryk was much happier. He could be around Malachi as often as he would like without risking his life. His boyfriend wasn’t quite so convinced he had it under control, but time would allow him to prove it. If that was all, he would be perfectly content.

Henryk was much happier now, but he had never felt less like himself. It was to be expected that he wouldn’t feel the same way as before. He could no longer compel vampires --- that would’ve been of great help --- or make use of the others perks that made a Regium. That much he figured and, had that been all, he’d have been just as displeased, but wouldn’t have felt quite so alarmed about his erratic behavior. Henryk wasn’t acting like himself these days, but it never struck him in the moment, only several hours, maybe even a day or two later.

Last Friday, he caught one of the girls crying backstage. Henryk asked her to his office and spent half an hour talking to a very puzzled stripper about her feelings.

On Sunday, after tasting a particularly delicious vegan vampire, he decided to go on a diet himself. Nevermind he only fed off vampires, he would find a way.

Of course his tenacity lasted a mere few hours before he was sinking his teeth into another victim. Twenty minutes later, he was telling everybody at the bar money didn’t matter and buying strangers rounds.

A few days later and he got caught mopping the Pit’s ring himself. Once the very bewildered staff ask what he was doing, he said the cleaner “didn’t do it right”.

The most alarming moment wasn’t when he volunteered to help rebuild the Sanguinem Aeternam, but apologizing for bumping into someone and meaning it too.

Henryk was worried about what that all meant for him, but his worries disappeared once he got his fangs into some arrogant jerk who walked in with a date and proceeded to flirt with everyone else. After making a generous meal out of him, Henryk came back in for his date and asked the guy back to his place.

A problem for another day.
