#being human#annie sawyer#would u believe me if i said i actually meant to finish my 'monsters embody the possibility of failing' mitchell post and instead made this#if it seems incomplete thats bc i only used sceenshots i already had instead of rewatching and taking new ones where fitting bc im lazy#but god i love when being human leans into the whole gothic ~u are the house and the house is u~ storyelling angle#one day i'll make my annie post (this is the annie house post) and then it'll be even more appropriate but !!!#the house as horror !!!! the home as the place of violence instead of the shelter from it !!!#also annie not letting go of the house bc it was the last place she was a real person !!!#the house not letting go of her bc it stores and remembers everything she herself is incapable of remembering !!!#she is the house but also her own person but also that place is so intrinsically hers that to the others it IS her#(to some extend at least)#also owen not taking care of the house as he didnt take care of annie.#but also any and all parallels between mitchells later sometimes v agressive behaviour and owens abuse#the bristol house tainted by annies death and the welsh house tainted by the bt20....#wheres that one poem thats like if u were raised in a house w an angry man there will alwas be an angry man inside your house#and even if there isnt u invite him in#sickening. anyway these tags have deviated so extremely fucking far from the post sorry lads insomnia makes me ramble#once again i present u: me thinking abt a show that went on air fifteen years ago as if it had finished yesterday. enjoy#being human uk#cavetext#triothesis#caveweb

if u dont mind,,,could u possibly write some vampire jun stuff,, im so soft for him jsjdhksdhkf thank u !!
this is kind of fluffy vamp!au,,,hope that’s ok~
you’ve never been one for group projects - especially not in college
but when you and junhui get paired together, it isn’t all that bad
he’s flirty and fun, but he does his work well and you’ve known him since you were a freshman
there was always something,,,,,unnatural about him,,,,,about the way he looked - he just seemed to be more,,,,,handsome than your regular uni student
maybe it was the semi-long hair that he pushed back when concentrating in class, maybe it was that somehow reddish tint in his mysterious deep brown eyes
people swooned over him, and as much as you agreed he was good-looking, you were much more interested in getting a good grade on this project
“im assuming we can get this done in one day, if we just spend the whole day on it. are you ok with coming over?”
junhui had asked, standing outside in the hallway - narrow frame tall and stylish
“to your dorm?”
“i don’t dorm on campus, i have my own place in the city.”
now - you know how it is, never go over to someones house before you truly know their intentions, but you’d been friendly with junhui
(plus no matter how much minghao teased him, he vouched that junhui was a good guy)
so you agreed - you’d meet him there on saturday afternoon
to put it gently,,,junhui’s apartment looked very different from junhui himself
you’d expected chic millennial, but what you’d gotten is almost vintage gothic victorian
the walls of the place were high, the dinning table was elegant - nothing like what you’d expect from a college boy
there was classical paintings on the wall, a clock with golden hands - you were baffled
but junhui just waved his hand and smiled, white - perfect teeth shining bright
“i have a love for antiques.”
you settled with him in the living room, discussing and working on your project till the sunlight from outside turned dark
junhui even went through the trouble of ordering you pizza, but refusing politely when you nudged the box his way
other than that - it was,,,,enjoyable
junhui had a open, comfortable personality
he made you feel like you were splitting the work equally, and everytime you’d say something or add something he’d grin and wink “so smart~”
the compliments had made you look down in your lap to hide your growing blush
and when you finished, checking your phone to see that it was reaching midnight slowly you sighed
“i think the last shuttle to campus left,,,,,i might have to take the train home.”
junhui shifts, shutting his laptop and getting up
“you’re free to spend the night here.”
your eyes narrow and he puts his hands up
“i promise, im not going to try anything. do you really think im that kind of person?”
your shoulders relax, no you don’t think he’s that kind of person and to be honest you’re extremely tired
“you can take my bed, ill take the couch.”
you follow him, yawning, into the bedroom
the bed is big, with a canopy but it looks like it hasn’t been touchedi n ages
either he’s just that good at making it or he doesn’t use it often, the thought comes and goes from your mind though
because as soon as you sit on it, you’re ready to knock ou
junhui pulls some blankets from the closet, hands them to you and closes the door
you don’t feel as weird as you thought you would, junhui hasn’t done anything to pressure you - he’s actually been super sweet
so you fall asleep with no problem
when you wake up, it’s not morning yet - but you really need some water
so, getting up you awkwardly and quietly make way back out into the hallway and to the kitchen
you see something lying on the couch - you assume it’s junhui and you mumble a little apology when you open up his fridge to see if there’s anything to drink
but,,,,,,,,,,,,,it’s empty
well no it’s not empty, it’s full of,,,,,,,,packets,,,,,,blood packets
you pick one up, feeling it in your hands 
“aren’t these the ones that they have at -”
“hospitals?”
you nearly jump from your skin, turning and seeing the outline of junhui in the dark
he leans against the door and your heart starts thumping in your chest like crazy
who is this guy? why does he have all this blood? oh god - are you going to get killed-?
he comes closer, but you’re frozen not sure what to do till junhui plucks the packet from your hand and sighs
“this is what i get for inviting cute humans over.”
you squeak out a “what?”
and he puts the packet back inside, closing the fridge door
“don’t worry, im not a mass murderer or whatever you’re thinking. the blood packets are my food.”
“so- so yo- you’re a-”
“vampire, yes.”
he switches on the lights and turns back to you, this time smiling - his fangs pushing a bit further out right before your eyes
for a while you just stare at him, putting pieces together in your head - the apartment furniture, the untouched bed, junhui not eating pizza, that dark beauty to him
you swallow when junhui finally tilts his head and asks you what you want to do now
do you want him to take you back to school, do you want him to maybe erase your memories (vampires can do that), etc.
but you shake your head
“i want,,,”
he looks at you and you see that his eyes have now turned completely red
“i want to see you turn into a bat.”
“what?”
he steps back in surprise before bursting into laughter
“oh,,,,a bat?? i can’t, that’s just a myth!”
you pout
“so you’re not really a vampire then!”
“no, i am. i am! i just can’t turn into a bat!”
you cross your arms, “so you don’t have a coffin somewhere here you actually sleep in?”
this sets junhui back into a fit of giggles as your pout grows larger
“you’ve seen too many movies cute human.”
“hey, don’t call me that - you know my name!”
he reaches out, ruffling your hair and quietly being thankful that you don’t jerk away in horror
“i do, i do i just like the excuse to call you cute.”
your pout falls into a flustered look and junhui relishes the blood that runs into your cheeks to make you pink
out of all the things he misses about being human, it’s that - but he’d be fine just watching it happen to you forever
“well now i can’t sleep”
“want to let a vampire cuddle you then?”
you playfully roll your eyes, vampire or not he’s still the same
“why don’t you tell me how you became a vampire instead, then maybe we can go on a date before we get to the cuddling stage.”
junhui’s grin spreads “oh, so vampires are you type then?”
“junhui you’re on thin ice here.”
