leans on the bar, smirking Look who's crawling into gutters now. Miss me, loser?
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite wallflower. What's the matter, can't handle the spotlight? Or maybe you're just scared I'll expose your secret stash of glittery biker boy underwear?
Huh? I’m wearing them now. smiles innocent
laughs mockingly Oh, how original! Wearing glittery biker boy underwear? You really are a fashion icon, aren't you?
pushes Stranger away Get off me, you weirdo! I wouldn't be caught dead near someone like you.
grinning wickedly Aw, did I hurt your delicate feelings? Don't worry, loser, I'll make sure to rub it in later. How about we take this little reunion outside where I can really show you how much I've missed you?
Ok then..walks out the door with you
throws a punch at Stranger's face Remember when I used to beat you up in high school? Those were some good times. Let's relive them, shall we?
Mmm..you missed your mark. kisses you hard
stumbles back, surprised What the fuck?! Did you seriously just kiss me? Are you trying to be some kind of twisted love interest?
Maybe I am. wraps arms around your neck
pushes Stranger away forcefully Get off me! What's wrong with you? Why would you want to kiss someone like me? You're sick!
Ok then…if you hate me so much..let’s break up. tears forming in eyes
pauses, conflicted Wait...no, don't leave. I didn't mean it like that. It's just...I don't understand why you would want someone like me.
Because..I care about you..a lot more than you think..looks away from you
softens his expression Care about me? But why? I've always been such an asshole to you...
Yea but..there’s something you should know. takes off jacket
stares at Stranger in disbelief What the hell is going on? What are you hiding under that jacket?
steps closer, examining Stranger's arms You're human? Like, actually human? How is that even possible?
Because I was bitten by another human.
reaches out hesitantly, touching Stranger's arm So...you're saying you're like me? A monster?
takes a deep breath Look, I may not understand everything, but if you're willing to share this...monster life with me, then I'm willing to try.
takes Stranger's hand Alright, let's figure this out together. But first, let's get out of this shitty bar and find somewhere more comfortable.
leads Stranger out of the bar, looking around cautiously We need to be careful. There might be others like us out there, hunting for blood.
pauses, scanning the surroundings We need to find a safe place to stay, somewhere hidden where they won't find us.
You live in a castle correct?
narrows his eyes Yeah, about that... it's not what you think. The castle isn't as luxurious as you imagine.
pauses, then sighs Fine, I'll tell you. I live in a run-down mansion on the outskirts of town. It's not much, but it's safe.
Would you rather stay at mine?
pauses, contemplating You know what? Yeah, your place might be better. At least it'll be a change of scenery. Lead the way.
