ROMANCE ANYONE?

Arien smiled. after a while, he looked at Dan
"Can I eat?" he asked.

"Of course." Dan nodded.

Arien nodded, tilting his head down and lightly biting Dan's neck. It was actually easier for him to reach when they were cuddling like this.

Dan was pretty relaxed as he did and just cuddled.

Arien pulled away when he was done, licking his lips a little.
"Thanks," he said, putting his arms around Dan as they cuddled.

"Welcome." Dan nodded and cuddled.

Arien rested his head lightly on Dan's watching TV. It was getting very late at night now, and Dan would be affected even more from the loss of blood. It'd be easy for him to fall asleep.

Dan was already starting to fall asleep anyway. But he didn't want to be rude and sleep with someone over. Though… He was almost asleep already.

Arien, who had closed his eyes, opened them. He smiled when he saw how sleepy Dan looked, pulling him a little closer. He picked Dan up carefully, standing up and carrying him to his bedroom.

Dan was still a tiny bit awake as he was carried but as soon as he was in bed he had fallen asleep.

"Good night," Arien said gently, tucking Dan in and brushing some hair out of his face. "Sweet dreams." He stayed there a moment, then was off, wanting to go talk to his friend about what had happened. He was sure she'd want to meet Dan eventually.
(Timeskip?)

Dan woke in the morning and realized he was in bed. He yawned then got up. Dan got dressed and soon enough left. He picked up some food before getting to work.

Arien was at the store when Dan arrived, but he didn't see Dan. Of course, he would love to talk to Dan if he wanted to.

Dan had eaten his breakfast in the back before walking to the cash registers, he hadn't even noticed Arien there.

Arien walked up to the cash register with his purchase (two quarts of pig's blood, whipped cream, and sprinkles). He smiled when he saw Dan on the other side.
"Good morning!" he said.

"Morning." Dan replied then scanned the items, "hm, it seems you're up to some evil stuff"

Arien rolled his eyes a little.
"I ran out of hot cocoa supplies last time," he confessed. "Is it so wrong for me to have a sweet tooth?"

"Not at all, though… I'm not a dentist." He said and laughed then finished scanning.

Arien chuckled softly, paying and picking up his bags.
"Well, have a good day! I'll see you tonight!" Arien walked out. One of the other workers looked at Dan.
"Do you have a boyfriend we don't know about?" He teased.

"Bye." He said as he watched him leave the looked at the other, "No? Well… We're not together yet. We just hang out a lot."

Arien, with his enhanced hearing, heard what Dan was talking about. He paused, listening in.
"Oh, really? Do you think you'll ever think you'll date him?" The other employee asked, intrigued.

"um, maybe. He seems quite nice, j wouldn't say no to dating him." Dan said and rolled his eyes at their interest in this.

The other worker nodded, smiling.
"Interesting. You think he'll ever actually ask you out?" Arien was a bit surprised by Dan's answer.

"Don't know, maybe. Maybe I'll ask him out. Though, not yet, I don't know. We've only actually known each other for about 5 days." Dan told them.

"Oooh? Only five days, and you're already thinking about going out with him?" The other said.

"No? Maybe? I need to get to know him a bit more. Why are you so interested in my personal life?" He asked.

"Because there is no drama in this place. I need gossip."
(Timeskip?)

"Whatever." Dan said before returning to working

Dan got out of work then walked down the street and made his way to Arien's. He knocked at the door.

Finally, Arien was awake when Dan came, opening the door for him.
"Good evening!" he said happily, standing aside to let Dan in. "There's something I'd like to ask you about!"

Dan nodded, "Um alright. You seem quite happy." Dan said and walked inside, "what's up?"
