Summary
“I’m scared that it’s all going to shatter in a second, everything I’ve tried to build up.” Hongjoong prays for the next words to not damn him to a lonely future in his apartment. “I’m scared that I’ll get too attached and it will all come back again.”
There’s, honest to God, a world of excruciating pain in Seonghwa’s words, and Hongjoong’s not sure he even understands half of what is being said because Seonghwa is too fucking skilful with his words and too fucking vague, but he does hear one thing, loud and clear like he’s always heard it.
Just like him, Seonghwa is scared of being lonely too.

Summary
“You’re not a collector,” Gamora said, almost as if this was something of interest as she dragged her finger along his work table at a lackadaisical pace. Her back was still to him, head tilted at an easy angle.
She was trying to gauge him, while also putting on a display, fucking sauntering around the room and touching all his stuff like she didn’t have a care in the world.
Peter was used to it- negotiating tactics, getting a read on the other person, feeling them out before going into business details. There’s no way he could do what he did if he couldn’t recognize the same in someone else. That much at least was straight forward.
While her actions and attitude were familiar, almost routine by now for a new working relationship like this, her comment was… unexpected.
A slight frown tugged at his lips before he slipped back into the easy mask of cocky and irreverent scoundrel.
“Thought you were here for a thief,” Peter reminded her with a smirk.

Summary
{ Alhaitham/Kaveh ※ Vampire/Detective AU }
“Don’t be scared,” Kaveh whispered. Already tasting victory in his mouth, he approached him faster. “Come here. Let’s have some fun.”
The gun was lowered at last. “I thought… your kind was a myth.”
“Well, we’re not.” Kaveh raised an eyebrow, though he didn’t allow the silly remark to ruin his act. He closed the gap between them, his teeth still bare in their dangerous sparkle.
“Scared?”
Out of all possible reactions Kaveh expected, given his century-long experience with many sorts of humans and not, a shrug didn’t figure on the list. “Not much. Are you going to suck my blood?”{ On his way to work, detective Alhaitham stumbles upon a stubborn vampire who tries to assault him in the darkness, in search of fresh blood. How is this man related to the mysterious murders happening around the valley, and what will their accidental encounter evolve into? }
