dark, rainy, wet.
his hair is flat, straight, soaked as it rests on his small shoulders. his shoes click against the stone under his feet.
a shift nearby, a dark alleyway, kris pauses and he squints to see down into the darkness. it's difficult, but he can hear the subtle sounds of soft suckles, wet slurps against reddened skin. his eyes widen as he recognizes the form that's enshrouded with darkness.
"Corbett..."

his teeth sink into warm flesh, blood rushing into his mouth. he gulps down each mouthful with frenzied delight. it’s good, a little tangy but rich and salty. so absorbed in his meal, he misses the far off footsteps growing nearer. it’s too late by the time they’ve stopped.
corbett. his name, a familiar voice. the body drops from his steely grasp. he stares. familiar pink hues, a white face. “kris.”
his gaze falls to the body, the steady stream of blood running from two tiny puncture marks. blood on his lips. compromised, ruined. why was he here, him of all people?
“were you following me?”

Seeing him like this, it frightens him. Never has he ever seen him feed, especially so greedily as this. He's far from home, dangerously exposing himself. If Kris sees him, no doubt any body else could.
"N-no, I wasn't," he replies honestly. "I was just... taking a walk... Why are you..."
His eyes focus on the limp form on the ground. Did he drain them?

his wet, pink tongue clear away the red on his lips, laps the splatter of blood on his hands. blood wasted on the ground, and the body dying at his feet. too much, he’d drunk too much. guilt washes over him at the thought of wilmer finding out. a strigoi has to eat.
he steps carefully over the body.
“are you really that surprised? i’m a filthy monster, remember? i need to feed.” his heart’s hammering in his chest, louder than he would have liked. “what are you going to do?”

"Nothing," he states, looking up at the taller man. His eyes show anger and guilt. "I'm sorry for calling you a monster. It was a kick reflex that had no right coming out of my mouth."
The magician pulls a handkerchief out of his pocket and walks over to the strigoi, reaching up with it to wipe the blood away from his lips.
"Magicians are groomed to dislike strigoi; you know that. It's a part of our culture, but I don't agree with it." His pink hues show empathy, apologetic as they try to find that acceptance in Corbett's eyes. "It's a bad habit that reared its ugly head and I'm ashamed for it.
His head hangs and he reaches out with his hands, palms upwards. "Please forgive me."

frigid hatred, subzero and crackling in the warm night, melts in the wake of such contradictory sentiment. shut down from bubbling anger, he stares. blank faced, unsure. so prepared was he for a fight.
"this isn't a trick?" doubt is easy, natural. long forgotten is the ability to trust, to believe in others. "why are you apologizing? i don't understand." blood in his hands, staining his shoes. ragged breathing from a body dying. he really was a monster. "what have i done?"
hands tremble. they touch ropy scars left looping round his neck. they won't heal. a hand outstretched to him, palm up. he'd bitten this man, drank from him. terrible words he aimed at him. excruciating pain, the magicians retaliation.
"your blood wasn't disgusting." he mumbles, still shaken. "you called me a monster."

"It's not a trick."
His gaze lifts and he looks at the strigoi's neck. Those marks, done by him. Kris slowly reaches out to feel those marks, gingerly letting his fingertips brush them lightly. He wants to feel his damage.
"I made a mistake."
The backs of his pink eyes burn, his lip and chin quivering as he tries to keep himself from breaking down. His blood isn't disgusting? "Truly?"
On his tiptoes, he reaches up, thumbs brushing along Corbett's pale cheeks. "You're not a monster," his voice catching in his throat. "We both made mistakes."

the attention on his scar, the reaching touch, he flinches from. he allows kris to touch them in the end. they're ugly, aching things. he has many scars, from his time underground. livestock was his beginnings, and so cruel were the strigoi who kept him. resentment for the magicians who threw him to the catacombs outweighs the hate even for the strigoi.
"you must not a bad person if wilmer cares so much." he brushes lightly under kris' eyes with his thumb, mimicking the albino's own gesture. "i would have resisted if it had." a sigh. he's never had to apologize before. he's sure he's doing it wrong. "i wanted to hurt you back."
kris' touch is gentle. he's words soothing. but there is no mistaking what is truth.
"i am a monster kris. i wasn't always. i was human before. i could have been a magician. i could have had a future, a happy one maybe." his laugh is dry, shaking as it lifts from his throat. "i'm strigoi now, a blood sucking monster. and i've killed many already." he's trembling, eyes glassy. "there is no redemption for my mistakes."

His eyes widen as he looks up at Corbett, mouth open ever so slightly, "No!"
His arms wrap around the man's torso, squeezing tightly as he hides his face against his chest. "You're not a monster! It's unfortunate what you've become, what you are, but a monster is not the term! If that's how it's going to be, then I'm a monster, too."
The albino's voice cracked as he shouted, squeaking every now and again in his desperation. His fingers clung to the strigoi's shirt, the smell of blood strong within the fabric. In the air, he can smell it as well, the dying form of a person laying undoubtedly cold by this point. He tries not to think about it.
His eyes, swollen and glassy as tears pour down from them, look up at this creature. "The men in the armies, they're monsters, too. They kill. What makes them so different?"

so warm the embrace constricting him. he’s leaning against the man’s chest, curling into him, without realizing it. the tears are rolling down his cheeks, silent. he folds slender arms around the shorter man. the words he speaks are faintly registered, but more aware he is of the hug and tears.
“i hated magicians not because they threw me into the catacombs but for taking away the one precious person i had down there. she spared me from death, turned me into this blood sucking abomination but she was so warm and kind. she hugged me, and told me she loved me.” he’s rambling without meaning to. a topic change. “but she wouldn’t have wanted me to behave so monstrous, to be like the cruel magicians who killed her. and that i feel the most guilt over. isn’t that strange?”
his voice is strangled with emotion, cracking, tightening.
"but you aren't a monster. far from it. i'm," he struggles for the word. "i'm sorry."

He stands there, listening to Corbett tell his tale, arms still wrapped around his torso. He pushes his head against the strigoi's chest, the man's voice booming against his ear, though still so soft as he speaks. Kris can hear those little cracks and strained pushes of emotion in the strigoi's voice and it tugs at his chest.
Who was the woman he's talking about?
"Were you two... lovers?" He looks up at Corbett again, eyes full of curiosity like a little child.

the words flowed from his lips. why did he tell this to kris? a part of him sought understanding from him perhaps, one deeply subconscious and loudly spoken.
“i was a child when she saved me.” subtly he shakes his head. “i’m not sure what we were to each other. i’d like to think she was like a mother, but i never had one and i don’t know what they’re like. i just know that she loved me and i loved her, and the magicians killed her.”

How sad... He tries to make eye contact with this man, sniffling softly as he recovers from his tearful moments earlier. He listens to Corbett's story, gaze falling as he imagines what all of that was like.
"I don't know my mother, either," he replies softly. "I was the first born, obviously, so I never got to know my mother. The magicians took care of me as I grew up. All first born magicians go through that," he murmurs.

his eyes are a wet gleam in a white face. the small crevice between building which he’d into to is untouched by even the glow of the yellow streetlamps, a black backdrop. he’s bound in kris’ embrace, nowhere to go or look but the prying pink hues.
“it’s not the same.” little wrinkles form in his brow. “i was your magician’s trash. i was meant to die as fodder. it’s not about mothers, or not knowing them.”

The reason he mentions is own lack of mother is in attempts to try and find common ground, but perhaps it doesn't work out quite right. Kris winces as Corbett's voice becomes slightly on edge. "You're not trash!" He pounds a hand against Corbett's chest. "You were defending yourself and you felt justified for the pure, hellish torture the magicians have put you through!"
Gritted teeth scraps and creaks in the albino's mouth. How can this man not understand?? He grips his shirt with tight fingers, giving him a shake as he gets frustrated as well.
"You're only--" He stops, eyes looking up at this man. He almost says 'human,' but he stops himself. He swallows thickly. "You're only trying to survive... The magicians make it so difficult for you. You're entitled to a life..." There are worse strigoi out there. Those that kill for sport, for endulgance and gluttony, but Corbett isn't like that. Those are the monsters.
The wind blows and the scent of blood fills his nose and he swallows thickly again. "You... don't have to resort to... sneaking out and risk getting caught for blood..." He bites his on lower lip. "If you don't mind a magician's blood."
