❝ Masquerade ❞


{ seething shadows breathing lies }


Traditional thing that Iseul is, he made a point of sending out invitations to every monster and supernatural being with whom he's acquainted the day after telling Damian of his masked ball. Each is written in a large, looping hand and reads:

      My Dear Friend,

      You are cordially invited to a most exclusive masquerade ball to be held at my estate on the next new moon. The attire is formal with a theme of silver and gold. My doors will open promptly at 8:00pm. Dinner will be served with music, dance, and festivities to follow.

      I do so look forward to your attendance.

      Kindest Regards,
      Your Host
Iseul's calling card is included for those who may not recognize his handwriting. It also happens to have his address on it, as well.

Guests will find the house dark and sprawling, positively goth in decor and style. For those who know or know of Iseul, this won't be a surprise. There's a running joke in the community that the Fae is truly meant to be a vampire... more so than his long-standing vampire rival. Those in attendance will be shown to the parlor, the pocket doors thrown wide to the adjoining suite to make it something of a small ballroom. Musicians sit off to the corner playing with few breaks throughout the night.

The dining room boasts a long table with a veritable banquet. Though, one must be careful about eating Faerie food. Never fear, dear guests, for none of this food was prepared or even harvested by Fae hands. Outside, the grounds are covered with sprawling flower gardens, topiaries, and even a small maze of hedges. Lanterns light the paths since there's no moon for light. Both in and out, the house has many dark nooks and crannies and unoccupied to rooms to disappear into. All guests are welcome to stay if, for any reason, they are unable to leave at first light.

"Pink." Damian grinned at that, very set on his ways as he moved in close to wrap his arms around that lovely naked form. So warm. He was going to get so addicted to having that warm body in his arms all the time.

And then he smiled more at hearing that this was his home too. Which meant that Iseul was going to change this place to suit them both and he loved that.

"Let's shower. They haven't missed us yet."

He was loving how hot the water got as he stepped in with Iseul, sighing happily as the heat sank into his skin. Pushing his fingers through the fae's hair, he smiled in delight at the offer. A day discussing redecorating of their two homes to suit their tastes? Why he'd adore that.

"I have no plans at all save for being with you now."

He'd mentally cleared his entire calendar.

Being so surrounded by warmth was divine. He sighed happily and wrapped his arms around Iseul, nuzzling into him. Much as he was fine in the cold he utterly adored being warm like this. Smiling, he laughed softly and gave his hair a kiss before pulling back enough to gaze at him.

"I won't complain about that. I would absolutely love to have my time monopolized by my beautiful muse."

Muse and now precious lover.

"You taking up all my time would really give me more to do honestly. Immortality can be rather dull when you're on your own."

It wasn't that he didn't know other vampires or other supernatural beings. He just stood out as an odd vampire. That really made such a big difference because people could get so hung up on that silly notion of how different it was. It was annoying really. Damian spent so little time with others as a result which meant that he'd truly enjoy being monopolized by his new lover.

"So you'll be far better than tolerable. I'll adore having you around so often."

"I have times like that as well. When the vampires remember I'm actually one of them, of course." Which was, to say the least, rare. They didn't really tend to think of him as one of their own. Largely because he was so vastly different from the stereotype of what they were. It was why he'd picked the name Damian in the first place. To attempt to be taken more seriously. Before he'd honestly just given up on the matter, of course.

"Besides, you already know there are times where I will simply sleep and not wake up for a few years. So we can call it even."

Damian cupped Iseul's face and smiled as he gazed into his eyes. Those beautiful eyes that he was realizing had always been looking at him. Even if neither of them had ever fully realized that fact.

"I'll always be glad for all the time we will have together though."

Damian smiled and leaned in so he could press a kiss to Iseul's soft lips. If ever there was anyone he trusted to keep him safe? It was this fae here. There were likely many who would tell him he was foolish for that but the vampire didn't care. This creature here before him would do everything in his power to protect him.

"I believe you."

"I know. And though I can, I never will lie to you."

He meant that. Every word of it. It was rare for him to make a vow of that nature since one of his greatest assets as a vampire was his ability to lie. However, Iseul wasn't different. He didn't want to lie to him, didn't want that to taint their relationship. Not ever. They'd already taken too long figuring this out together.

"Of course. I hope you'll be with me every time I sleep for the rest of our lives."

To be honest he'd always hated to fall asleep alone. However, that had simply been how it was. There was no one for him to share a bed with. Not until now. Now he had Iseul to share his bed and life with. "I won't be able to stay awake when the sun rises but tomorrow night I'd like to make love with you again."

It felt so good to be on the same wavelength as someone. He'd honestly never had that in his life before and it felt amazing. Smiling, he watched those warm lips kiss his skin and ran his fingers over his cheek with his other hand. How had he wasted all these years and not had this? It was everything he'd ever wanted and so much more. He'd never want to be rid of it. Never could either now that he'd freely given his true name to the fae.

Entirely worth it.

Damian laughed softly and tilted his head a bit. "You'll let me have some pink here to mingle with your black?"

"Our combined styles. No one will know what to make of it." And yet he knew that he'd love it. Seeing them intertwined together. In fact, he already knew a gift that he wanted to give to his lover. Oh it would likely make him confused at first but a plushie of a vampire bat would grow on him he was sure.

He'd make sure he purchase it the next time he went out.

"Enough care to be amused at what others will think when they see it. And no more than that."

He kissed him lightly. There was such adoration in his eyes as he gazed at him. "Now that I have you I have an endless desire for you. I must confess that to you."

"Later. Either after we go to bed or tomorrow after they're all gone. Then we can enjoy each other more. And you can have your turn."

Because he felt that was appropriate to their relationship. They took turns being in control. It properly reflected how they'd come together in the first place and balanced them out well.

Stepping out of the shower, he moved over to grab a towel to help dry Iseul first.
