Work Text:
It was morning when the sun hit the curtains through the high, expensive-looking windows at the mansion. Birds can be heard chirping here and there, probably greeting each other or discussing what to eat in the morning. Speaking of eating, Seonghwa, who was feeling slightly hungry, woke up. He groaned under his blanket as he stretched his arms upwards, only to be met with Wooyoung, who was sitting on the cabinet behind the bed.
"Fucking hell. Do you have to shock me first thing in the morning?" Seonghwa asks as he rubs his right eye with the back of his hand.
The younger jumps down to his bed gently before pulling the older into a tight, clingy hug. Seonghwa hums as he inhales the younger's scent. Looks like Wooyoung just got out of the shower; the mixed scent of vanilla and coconut made him comfortable. The younger, who could feel how calm the older got, brushes his nose against Seonghwa's neck.
The thing that Wooyoung loves about Seonghwa is that his skin is soft; the others have soft skin as well, but Seonghwa's is extremely soft. He loves brushing his nose and his lips against the elder's neck. The elder's soft neck made it easier for him to suck on his blood, as his fangs would pierce through the skin with no problem.
"Woo…" Seonghwa called out since he knew what the younger was up to.
"I know you're hungry, hyung. Let me have a taste of you, and you can do the same before we go down for a real breakfast. Mhm?"
Seonghwa wanted to decline, but he, too, is thirsty for blood in the morning. Since the younger is volunteering himself, he thought, why not? He hums in response and grips the hem of the younger's shirt. Wooyoung smiles instantly and places soft kisses on the elder's neck before he opens his mouth to show his fangs.
Wooyoung brushes his fangs against Seonghwa's neck, which gets the older breathing heavily. "Woo, please…"
The younger wastes no time and pierces through the elder's soft skin on his neck with his pearly white fangs. Seonghwa groans out at the feeling before shutting his eyes tight. This is something that they're used to; they do this every morning, every night. But Seonghwa can't deny that whenever Wooyoung's fangs are doing their job, they get him weak. The younger has a set of strong fangs that you could feel within your soul too.
At the sounds of the younger taking in Seonghwa's blood, filling his thirst, the older finally relaxed into it. A few seconds passed by, and Wooyoung was done. He pulls away and retracts his fangs before licking his lips deliciously at the taste of the elder's blood.
"Indeed, your blood is the sweetest, hyung. Don't tell the others I said that," he flashes a cheeky grin at the older, which earns him a slap on the arm.
Wooyoung leans closer to Seonghwa and offers him his neck; he tilts his head to the side to expose his skin. The older doesn't say anything but instantly dives in to draw blood out of Wooyoung's neck with his fangs. He closes his eyes while he swallows the younger's fresh blood down his throat. Wooyoung isn't swayed by the slight pain, so he stayed in his position, waiting for the older to finish.
As Seonghwa pulls away from Wooyoung's neck, the younger pulls him in for a passionate kiss, not letting the older wipe away the blood at all. The door was pushed open to reveal Yeosang and Jongho, who were looking at them.
"I told you they were busy sucking each other's faces," Jongho said as he looked at Yeosang with his eyebrows furrowed.
"How would I know? I thought Wooyoung went flying somewhere; I didn't expect him to be in Hwa hyung's room," Yeosang replied and huffed out, sulking at the maknae's accusation.
Both Seonghwa and Wooyoung turn around to laugh at the sight unfolding in front of them. They get down from the bed, making their way towards the other two.
"We weren't just making out," Seonghwa said while stroking the two males' heads gently. Jongho could smell fresh blood, so he looked over at their necks and saw the mark. He smiles and nods his head understandingly. The youngest holds Yeosang's hand to apologise before walking out of the room with the other two males. Wooyoung giggles lowly at how cute Jongho and Yeosang are, which makes Seonghwa smile too.
As they were walking down the grand-looking stairs, they saw Yunho in the kitchen, who was making breakfast with Hongjoong and San by his side as they helped. They couldn't find Mingi, to which Seonghwa asked, and Hongjoong said he's out running an errand.
"You sent that clumsy man alone to buy things?" Wooyoung asks as he reaches the kitchen island, looking at the plates that are well-decorated with food.
"Meh, he'll be fine! The town loves him," San said as he placed a few glasses of orange juice on the dining table.
Yes, the town residents knew that ATEEZ are vampires, which is different from humans, but... are they really that different? The people don't think so. Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight; they attack humans and drink their blood, but ATEEZ aren't those. They're fine out in the public with sunlight hitting them; they're friendly and outgoing with humans. No one has seen them attack humans, well, except for the bad guys. This explains why they're the most popular, powerful vampires out there.
They don't know how they aren't attracted to killing or even drinking blood out of humans, but rumour has it that they have the rarest genes in their bodies that other vampires don't. Even though they don't attack humans, they're still feared by other vampires.
As the others were preparing the breakfast and setting up the table, the front door opened after the sound of a passcode being entered to reveal a happy-looking Mingi with too many paper bags in his hands.
"What the hell did you buy?" Yunho asks before Hongjoong interrupts. "What's that around your neck?"
Mingi laughs happily like a child who got his lollipop before he places the paper bags down on the floor.
"People love me! I got this flower necklace for free from a grandma because she said I looked like a cute lost puppy. I bought the things you told me, but the staff let me take anything I wanted."
Seonghwa tilts his head to the side. "So you steal?"
"I did not! They gave it to me for free. I don't have the heart to steal things."
"But you stole our hearts, so what about that?" Wooyoung asks as he keeps a straight face on. Mingi's eyes widened upon his lover's words; he looks around while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh no… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to steal. Am I gonna go to jail? Are you gonna report me?" Mingi asks while looking at them with his cute, puppy-like eyes. The others coo at how adorable he is before Wooyoung says it was all just a joke.
Mingi groans out in frustration and crosses his arms over his chest to sulk, which earns lots of kisses from the others. The male blushes in embarrassment before they sit around the dining table to have their breakfast, finally.
While they were eating, San looked at both Wooyoung and Seonghwa as he noticed the bite marks. He nudges Yunho's knee with his to point at what he's seeing, and the tall male hums in response. Hongjoong could listen to their inner thoughts, so he looks at the bite marks as well. Seonghwa, who could feel eyes on him, looks up to see the three of them looking at him and Wooyoung.
"Is there something on my handsome face?" the oldest asks, to which the maknae coughs out all of a sudden as he chokes on his fruit. Yeosang presses his lips together tightly to hold back the laughter. Mingi looks at them confusedly while munching on his pancake, looking adorable as usual.
"So… it seems that the reason both of you are late today is because you eat each other out," Hongjoong said, which made Mingi widen his eyes. Did he hear wrong? What? "You eat each other out first thing in the morning?" he asks while looking at Wooyoung.
The others look at Mingi, wondering why he's freaking out. Drinking each other's blood in the morning is a normal routine for them, so why is he acting oddly? That's when it hits them. He was talking about another meaning of 'eating each other out'.
"Mingi, no!" They said in unison while looking at him. Mingi blinks his eyes in confusion, wondering why they were looking at him before they burst out laughing one by one. He placed his fork down on the table and pursed his lips to form a pout, waiting for his lovers to tell him what happened. "Did I get the meaning wrong again?" he asks while looking at Hongjoong, to which the leader nods his head as he smiles sweetly at the sulking male. Yeosang placed a hand on the back of Mingi's head to give him soft strokes while the others looked at him with adoration in their eyes.
"What Joongie meant is that Wooyoung and I had a taste of each other this morning, which is why we're late to help the others at the kitchen," Seonghwa explains as he smiles before taking a sip of the juice. Mingi blushes in embarrassment as he finally understands what Hongjoong meant a while ago. The others laugh as they find Mingi adorable when he's embarrassed. Yeosang leans in to place soft kisses on the male's right cheek down to his neck. Yunho could sense how needy Mingi is for Yeosang's bite that he nudges San, the small male, nods his head in agreement before he decides to tease them.
"Minmin, do you want Sangie to bite you that bad?" San asks, and Yunho joins in.
"You're being needy for Sangie's bite, I can sense it. Just tell him what you want."
Yeosang pulls away from Mingi's neck to look at him, communicating with their eye contact. Yup, Yeosang can definitely see that there were sparks which ignited in the male's eyes. Jongho wraps an arm around the leader's waist to pull him closer while his eyes are busy staring at both Yeosang and Mingi.
"Use your words," Yeosang said in a dominant tone, which made Mingi squirm in his seat as his ears and cheeks turned red from blushing. Seonghwa, who was munching on the pancake with Wooyoung resting his head on the elder's shoulder, just laughed at the sight.
The thing about Mingi is that he's the second tallest after Yunho; he's big, and he has broad shoulders as well as muscular thighs. But… don't be fooled by that. He's the sweetest, cutest boy or vampire you'll ever meet in your life. Even when his fangs are out, he still looks cute; he's definitely their adorable vampire.
"Sangie, plㅡplease bite me. I'm kinda jealous that Wooyoungie and Hwa hyung get to have it just now…"
Hongjoong smiles in amusement at how cute the big Mingi is and how dominant the small Yeosang is. He rests his head on Jongho's shoulder while looking at them. Yeosang leans in at the male's neck again to finally bite Mingi's neck as his fangs are out, sucking on the tall male's blood. Mingi shuts his eyes instantly and holds the fork tightly against the pancake.
"Poor pancake is all squished due to Mingi hyung," Jongho said teasingly, which earned soft laughter from the others. Yeosang hums against Mingi's skin as he swallows down his lover's blood before pulling away from his neck and retracting his fangs.
Yeosang licks his lips and presses a few soft kisses against the mark before continuing to eat as if nothing happened. Mingi opens his eyes while looking at the squished pancake, breathing slightly heavily. Even though Yeosang's fangs aren't pierced through his neck anymore, he could still feel it at the spot. Whenever Yeosang bites them and takes in their blood, the others' necks would feel a bit painful or sore since the male has a set of strong fangs. And he'd hold you tightly in your spot to have your blood.
"I still can't get used to Sangie's fangs…" Mingi said as he blushed in embarrassment. Yeosang giggles and showers his cheek with kisses. The others agree to it before continuing their breakfast session. Hongjoong being their leader is used to all of these; it's what makes them love each other even more.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
After their breakfast session, all of them were sprawled on their grand, comfortable couch in the living hall while they were busy watching a K-drama on Netflix. There were a few bowls of snacks and glasses of beverages on the coffee table in front of the couch.
On the right side of the couch, there was Hongjoong in the middle with San at his right and Yunho at his left. At the middle of the couch, Seonghwa and Jongho are in Wooyoung's embrace, meanwhile Yeosang and Mingi are at the left side of the couch. The furniture was so big that there were still empty spaces in between the three groups.
Hongjoong being the smallest makes it easier for him to fit in San and Yunho's embrace. San and Yunho were leaning against the couch while his head was on the two males' thighs. He looks up at them, and the corners of his lips twitch upwards into a wide smile. The leader loves everyone equally, but there's something about Yunho and San that makes him whipped for them so much, all the time.
San looks down at Hongjoong to meet the elder's stare, which made him smile; his eyes turned into crescent-like shapes, and dimples appeared on his cheeks. Gosh, San's soft smile with his dimples could melt Hongjoong right now. The look on the leader's face got San giggling before he pecked the elder's lips softly and continued watching the drama.
After getting a kiss from San, the older looks up at Yunho this time. Oh, Yunho. This man would probably be the death of Hongjoong. He's the tallest with good looks, a beautiful smile, soft cheeks, and not to mention that he's the kindest vampire anyone has ever met. Even when they ran into bad people, Yunho wouldn't attack them; he'd tell them to run off and never come back, or bad things will fall upon them. Yunho is the kind of person you'd really want in your life – he's a good person, a good vampire and, most importantly, a good lover.
Hongjoong could listen to Yunho's inner thoughts, and the things that are in them are just… pure. Mainly, Yunho wants to cuddle his lovers; he wants to kiss them until they're suffocating, and Yunho wants to be here together with them until forever.
The tall male could feel eyes on him, so he looks down to meet the leader's eye contact. "Hi," Yunho said softly, and Hongjoong mewls lowly as he feels soft all of a sudden. That act made Yunho giggle before he covered his mouth with his hand. San looks to the side at Yunho, then down at the older, and he can't help but giggle as well.
Yunho placed a hand on the leader's left cheek to stroke it gently; he leans down and presses soft kisses against Hongjoong's forehead. San sneaks his right hand under the elder's shirt to give the leader soft belly rubs. Mingi saw that and tapped Yeosang's arm before pointing to the three of them.
Yeosang giggles and does the same to Mingi, which made the male beyond happy that his fangs were out. He was shocked and drew them back in immediately, looking around to see if anyone noticed, but luckily, no one did. He leans back against Yeosang's arms while his free hand is feeding himself some popcorn.
Wooyoung, Jongho and Seonghwa are so immersed in the drama that they didn't notice the funny antics happening. Jongho's eyes looked up to stare at the bite marks on Seonghwa and Wooyoung's necks. He knows that Wooyoung woke the eldest member up, so that's how he got it. But he can't help thinking... how come he doesn't get one yet? Do both of them find him not attractive? Or are they scared of him to the point that they don't want to bite him?
Jongho is the youngest, but he doesn't act like one. His group is the nicest and most popular one, but people still find him intimidating. The look he has when they walk around the town sometimes makes people think twice if he wants to attack them or not. There are a few situations where his lovers have to clarify that Jongho is harmless; he's just shy around new people or when there are too many people.
Sometimes, when Jongho is sleepy or tired, he'd get cranky and moody, which activates his intimidating self. And when that happens, even his hyungs aren't brave enough to be close to him. They'd let him calm down by himself, and only then would they entertain him to make him feel better.
Wooyoung could listen to Jongho's heartbeat, and it was slightly faster than usual, which made him look to the side at the younger.
"Jjongie, are you okay? I can listen to your heartbeat. Did you have too much caffeine?" Wooyoung asks.
"No, I didn't. It's nothing; don't worry about it. I'm alright."
Wooyoung doesn't really believe it, but since the younger clarified it like that, then it should be fine. He nuzzles his nose against the maknae's cheek, which makes Jongho blush as red as a tomato. Seonghwa scoots closer in Wooyoung's embrace to place his thigh over the maknae's. The oldest leans his head back on Wooyoung's chest.
Hongjoong can't seem to focus on the movie, as both San and Yunho's scents are driving him crazy. These two men are smelling so great right now that it makes him want to bury his head in their necks or just… bite them and taste them.
"Someone wants to bite our necks and taste us 'cause we smell good, huh."
The leader was shocked upon hearing San's sudden husky voice. He looks up to find both of them looking at him, and suddenly, he feels even smaller than he already is. Yunho hums questioningly as he raises an eyebrow, waiting for the older to respond.
"Yeah. You guys smell good; it's making me crazy…"
"Then tell us what you want," Yunho said as he stares lovingly at the leader. Hongjoong could see the adoration in his eyes, but there were also sparks, probably because he's too excited for this.
"I wanna bite and taste you both and… want you guys to do the same to me," Hongjoong confessed as he looked at San and Yunho, hoping that they'd accept the offer.
San immediately smiles at Hongjoong's brave confession as Yunho just stays silent, agreeing to the leader's words. When it comes to things like these, San would be happy and encouraging, while Yunho would be quiet even though he wants it. The role changed completely with Yunho, and they're scared of it sometimes.
"We could grant you the wish, but you have to stay silent. The others are watching the drama, so we don't wanna interrupt them, right?" Yunho asks Hongjoong softly as he brushes his lips against the elder's ear. The older could just nod his head as the words were stuck at his throat.
"Let us do our job first, then you can take control, okay?"
Hongjoong nods his head in response. "Okay, Sannie."
Yunho hums, satisfied with the leader's response, before he leans in at the elder's neck to inhale his scent. Yunho is the kindest vampire, but he's protective, while Hongjoong is a bit gullible. Whenever the older would go out to buy stuff and a 'harmless' man approached him, Yunho would be protective and possessive over him. How? Hongjoong would come back, and Yunho could smell from a distance that the older doesn't smell like him, like them, at all.
He'd tell the older to take a shower instantly, and they'd bite him, taking in his blood to plant their scents on Hongjoong again. The fun thing is that the leader doesn't mind at all; he loves being protected by his lovers. It's just a normal nature for him, for them.
Now that Hongjoong smells like them, Yunho opens his mouth to draw his fangs out before piercing them through the elder's skin slowly. The feeling of the sharp teeth going into his skin in a painfully slow motion hurts yet pleases him. This is Yunho's style – slow and steady but painful. As Mingi said, he thinks Yunho is a sadist.
Hongjoong shuts his eyes to squint them while he grips San's shirt tightly. This action of his made San smile as the younger stroked his belly soothingly to calm the pain down. The leader looks up to meet San's eyes, and he communicates with the younger through their eyes.
Yunho closes his eyes as he slurps on the elder's blood; his left hand is holding onto Hongjoong's waist in case the older moves or wants to run away. Yunho makes sure that he tastes every bit of Hongjoong; he'll make sure that not one bit of the leader's blood will be wasted. He could feel the older squirm, which made him pull away slowly from the elder's neck. The fangs draw back in, and Yunho pecks the spot a few times.
"Better now?" he asks the leader. Hongjoong scoffs out at the moment Yunho's expression became soft again, like before. Yunho is the type to come off strong and scary before he eats their blood, but when he's done, he's back to his soft and goofy self.
San wastes no time in tasting the leader. He holds Hongjoong's neck closer to his lips and bites the neck instantly. Hongjoong gasps in shock at the younger's sudden action, but he manages to calm down while he lets San do his thing.
Whenever it's San's turn to bite them or taste them, they'd stay still. The man does it instantly, which made them not want to move as the man is tasting them. If you move, just pray that your skin won't be ripped open, as San's fangs are quite strong and long.
Yunho goes back to watching the drama, while San is enjoying the feeling of the elder's skin through his fangs as well as the sweet taste of his blood. The leader tightens the grip on San's shirt, which makes the male pull away from his skin. "You taste good as usual, Joongie hyung." The leader's cheeks heated up in embarrassment as he blushed. San chuckles and nuzzles his nose against the elder's neck, pressing soft kisses there to soothe the bite mark.
"Did we hurt you in any way, hyung?" San asks worriedly, as he's afraid that they've bitten him roughly since the older looks like he was in pain when they tasted him a while ago. Hongjoong is the leader, but he takes care of the youngsters so well that even when he's hurting from anything, he'd try to keep it away from them. From his point of view, he just doesn't want to burden his lovers with his problems since he's the leader and he should be strong for them, right? And in San's defence, the leader's words were definitely wrong. To them, it doesn't matter if you're the leader, the oldest or the maknae; everyone deserves to be cared for, pampered and spoilt.
With San's opinion that they open up to each other one by one, telling their problems and insecurities and sharing their anger and tears. By doing all of these, it definitely works for their relationship since they felt closer than before, and they're more comfortable around each other. Every single day, they be sure to tell San how thankful they are to him, as it's all thanks to him that they're the most popular, powerful vampire clan in the world. Hongjoong flashes a smile at the male and shakes his head in response to the question.
"Alright, love. If anything hurts, just tell us. Okay?" The leader nods his head upon San's words before snuggling closer with both of them. Yunho grabs a bowl of chips to feed some to Hongjoong and San. The older sits up to lean into San's neck; he opens his mouth and waits for the younger's approval. San hums in response, and the older instantly bites the left spot of the younger's neck, taking in his blood. At the taste of San's blood, the older groans lowly, as he's been craving for his blood ever since last night.
Yunho looks to the side and chuckles in amusement at how impatient the leader is. He becomes like this when he's thirsty, hungry for their blood, and no one dares to go against his words, as he's dangerous when the impatient side of him kicks in.
As Hongjoong was done with San's neck, he latched his fangs on Yunho's neck without licking or wiping off the remaining blood at his lips. The tall male had to hold onto his own thighs at the sudden slight pain on his neck. He closes his eyes to breathe slowly, making it easier for the leader to suck his blood.
The others who could hear the sound of someone sucking on blood turned their heads to laugh at the sight. Hongjoong is looking so extra needy and thirsty tonight that he had to eat the blood of his two lovers at the same time. Jongho, who hasn't been giving or getting any, just pouts; he crosses his arms over his chest and huffs out.
Whenever Jongho is sulking or mad, his fangs come out at each side of his mouth, which makes him look intimidating yet adorable. Seonghwa looks at the maknae and giggles before brushing his nose against the younger's cheek.
"What's wrong, Jjongie?" The oldest one asked, and the maknae pointed at Hongjoong with his pouty lips. Wooyoung looks at Seonghwa as they exchange glances that only both of them understood.
"Do you want us to eat you too?" Wooyoung asks while running his fingers through the younger's hair gently. Jongho's cheeks turned red instantly at the thought of having both his hyungs drink his blood right here.
He looks at both Wooyoung and Seonghwa before nodding his head in response. His eyes sparkle with adoration, love that melts his two hyungs' hearts. "Alright. Anything for you," Seonghwa said, and he nodded his head at Wooyoung.
Jongho was about to speak when he felt sudden pain and doubled up at both sides of his neck – Seonghwa and Wooyoung bit him at the same time, drawing in his blood down their throats. The younger bites his lower lip as he tries to withstand the slight pain since he's new to this. "Hyungie…" he called out softly. Before he knew it, both of them pulled away and retracted their fangs. They giggle upon the sight of the maknae and press soft kisses on the bite marks.
"Really, you guys? During Netflix?" Yeosang said as he looked at them before Mingi hushed him with a kiss, trying to calm him down. The others flashed a thankful smile at Mingi before continuing the drama session. Hongjoong looks at his lovers and smiles, as some have their fangs out while some don't – yes, they're vampires. They're different from other people, but they're one of a kind in their own way, and they wouldn't want to change a thing about it.
