36... what to do with a human vampire

[atouchofstrife]

I guess this means we're going to need better locks.

This better not last longer than it has. I don't want to hurt him by accident. And then Anita... that whole business about fighting the Captain. I wish there was some way I can help her.

Comments

accidentally got the entry to repeat back to him in voice and is curious

*Lestat looks over at Cloud*

Better locks?

[ooc: Right account helps.]

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I don't want uninvited guests to show up.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

To what?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Just coming into our apartment and trying something with any of us.

*Cloud glances over at him and sighs*

How are you doing?

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I am alright.

*Lestat watches him for a moment*

And you?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Are you hungry?

*shrugs and turns another page*

Tired, I guess.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*stands and goes to lean over Cloud's shoulder and ignores the question asked*

What are you reading?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

It's something you told me to try - some kind of thriller mystery.

*glances up*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I did?

*frowns and looks at the pages*

I can't read.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

*Cloud blinks and scoots over, indicating with a nod for Lestat to sit next to him*

Here. I'll read it to you.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*Lestat smiles and takes the offered seat*

I would like that. Only mother ever read to me.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

She did? She must have been a strong woman.

*flips back to the beginning and starts to read it outloud*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*listens intently and even shifts to get more comfortable by leaning closer to Cloud, his eyes moving across the words as if trying to read them himself*

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

*raises his arm so Lestat can snuggle closer as he reads, glancing once and a while at his face to see when the curse leaves*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*oh Cloud will know right away when Lestat's lip curls slightly and his hand snakes around the man's waist but not once does he stop the reading even when he is cool to the touch and tanned again*

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

*And Cloud nearly jumps at the contact before looking over at him again*

Lestat... umm... what do you remember?

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*Lestat just looks up innocently*

Remember?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

You were cursed.

*Floundering Cloud is floundering as he looks down at Lestat*

You were human.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*Lestat finally laughs and pulls Cloud closer to kiss him*

I know. And I even got drunk...lover.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Brat.

*Cloud blinks and is kissed*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*Lestat licks his teeth just to feel his fangs then pauses*

I am sorry I hurt you both that way.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Hurt us?

*Cloud looks at him and lightly kisses him back*

You didn't.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*Lestat pulls Cloud against him and toys with the blonde hair*

So, you're reading one of the books I suggested?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

*likes that but isn't going to say it out loud*

Yeah. Thought it would take my mind off of Anita's problems.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. Him.

*just a dash of venom to his tone at the last word*

And what do you think of it?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I don't like it. Not one bit.

*and Cloud speaks with an odd lilt to his words*

Someone is not worthy of being anything greatr than he acts.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

Interestingly enough, I was referring to the book.

*Lestat continues to play with Cloud's hair*

However, I agree with you.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

The book's okay. I haven't really got that far in it.

*Cloud is relaxing more against Lestat*

You aren't going to do something stupid about it, are you?

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't dream of doing something stupid.

*Lestat takes the book with his other hand and studies the page*

Not far at all.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

*shrugs because he knows Lestat might do it but doesn't grab at the book*

I can't concentrate on it.

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*leans down and kisses Cloud's shoulder*

It can happen.

*looks at the cover*

Louis loves this book.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

A lot of things can happen.

*cloud stretches but doesn't move from his comfy spot*

He does?

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

They can.

*Lestat nods and keeps playing with the hair as he opens the book again*

Louis loves books. He spends all his evenings buried in them.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

They're nice but I often think too much to really get into them.

*Cloud yawns and craks his neck, slumping a little*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

It takes a mindset sometimes.

*Lestat smiles and leans his head against Cloud's as he listens to him*

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I guess I don't really have it then.

*is actually starting to fall asleep now*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

*smiles and scans one of the pages then tosses the book aside*

I never liked that one.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Is that right?

*Cloud yawned and curled up, closing his eyes*

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I find it dry and boring.

*Lestat wraps his arms around Cloud*

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

I dare anyone to try and slip in here uninvited.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Between us, the hellcat and the attacking furniture, I think that anyone coming in here will have a problem.
