Bitten - Part I
What is this?? A written post?? My Bite Me size swap is finally up (sorta). I initially was going to post this all in one shot, but it got long so enjoy non canon Bite Me content 💕
I've been absolutely swamped lately, so hopefully me posting is a sign that things are finally easing up!!
Shortly after the events of Chapter 10 Aedes wakes up to a rather big surprise- or perhaps more accurately, a small one.

Warm hands envelope Aedes in a way that dances on the border of intimate and claustrophobic. His thoughts felt thick, almost sticky in his mind, as they struggled to flow. Those soft doting hands clung to him, overwhelming in their size, anchoring him firmly in place. He can’t move- but … was that really so bad? With his mind in a daze, he didn’t have the capacity to tell himself he hated it. Far from it… There was an undeniably comfort in the silken touch, warm in a way that surpassed intimate. Warm in a way that would melt pain from his chest, render flesh from his bones and put him together anew. Those plush hands dotted over him, filled him with life - with such vigor and… and-
Want.
So much want.
He knew her taste, its memory, sweetened with time, dances on the tip of his tongue just out of reach. So did her name. What was it again… He’d seen it somewhere…
If only he could drink. He was sure he could find her name and so much more hidden away in that taste.
From her hands, all encompassing in their grasp, he felt her pulse. The rhythm of her rattles his bones, shaking him to his core. Each beat moves him, yet he himself remains unable to do so- anchored in place by strangely sticky thoughts and firm hands. God, if only he could just turn his head. If only he could sink his teeth into her… have just the smallest taste-
A drop.
He would gladly drown in a single drop.
If only he wasn’t stuck- if only he could be set free from their grasp.
Then, all at once, he was.
Falling.
Without their warm embrace- their suffocating hold, was sent falling back-
Or maybe, falling into himself? Aedes awoke as the ground met his face.
The fall, it seemed, had not been exclusive to the dream.
Rubbing his face, Aedes feels the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. Something was off. He grimaced- not at all fond of the strange stain the remnants of the dream, no, nightmare, had left on his brain. It left him with a strange chill on his body, as if he was yearning for the warmth of the dream…
Or… clothes? Aedes looks down, startled by his own apparent lack of modesty. Why am I…
As Aedes moves to sit up, the strange realization is immediately put on the back burner as a much stranger realization takes its place. His stomach lurches as his mind struggles in vain to right itself.
High. His stomach lurches, as if forgotten someway far below. Too high- Why was he so high up?? Vertigo hit him with all the grace of a car crash as he heaved- his very being ripped away from the ground and rocketing up by his own doing- much too high much too fast.
Slowly, on his hands and knees, Aedes blinks.
The dizzying spin didn’t leave- but his breath certainly did.
If he hadn’t so abruptly woken up he would have thought he was still dreaming. Cool morning air sent a chill over his skin from a window he could reach out and touch. Books fit for his hands lined the shelves he had so recently scaled. Clawed fingers traced the various knick knacks that should have dwarfed him…
That, until this very morning, had dwarfed him.
How…
His mind scrambles to make sense of it all. He needed answers.
He needed to know how this happened-
How could this happen?
But more than anything, Aedes needed to know how to breathe.
Each shakily attempted breath felt stuttered, the tightening feeling in his chest constricting each and every inhale. His heart pounded wildly against his lagging lungs, yet it wasn’t the beat of his own that concerned him.
Aedes' ears twitched, straining to hear the faint thrum, the slightest indication of something, someone, alive in the room with him.
His eyes locked on the source in an instant.
June.
Her name finally finds its home on his lips- stolen from some hastily placed piece of ID left laying on her desk. June Murphy. 12 Oakline Road, Saint Mira Lake, ON. Born June 18th. 172 cm. Aedes swallowed a lump of mixed emotions at the sight of her.
Small… God she’s so small.
And he… was not.
Nearly buried in a mass of blankets and oversized clothes, June Murphy stares at the relative behemoth in front of her- mind reeling as they lock eyes.
This… This has to be a dream right?
Yet she was all too aware of reality, having been jolted awake by the thunderous impact of what she’d initially assumed to have been … well, really anything but the reality that was staring back at her. A car could have plowed straight through her living room wall and it would have made more sense than what she was seeing.
Yet despite the unfamiliar perspective, she recognized him in an instant. The tousled black hair, the pointed ears…
Those piercing eyes.
Aedes.
In an instant, he was on his knees, moving at a speed June found to be even more unsettling now that he loomed above her. The sight of him so close was… bizarre… Uncanny even. Sure, she’d technically seen him far closer, when he’d been…
Pressed up against her lips…
In the palm of her hand…
June’s face flushes at the memory. You really don’t get much closer than that… and yet… even at what must have been a foot or more away, she saw him far more intimately than when she’d… June’s thoughts wander off, far too entranced by the man in front of her to remain focused on anything else.
Aedes was far more handsome than she had initially realized, and she’d already had quite the high impression of his aesthetics. His pale skin was smooth, bordering on flawless even at such a scale, his features were defined, a straight nose, distinct jawline, yet the edges had a softness to them, smooth in a way that seemed inviting- as if they’d been carved from marble. Her gaze lingered on the soft yet rich color of his lips, the realization that this man really wasn’t human hitting her hard- the knowledge that there were teeth behind such a pretty feature sending a shiver through her. Though none of his features held a candle to his eyes. Piercing and black, this stare bore into her… defile her, even…
June scrambles back, face hot.
Aedes does the same, reeling back at her sudden movement, as if somehow seeing her move confirmed this was, in fact, reality.
Oh… A knot forms in his throat, She’s afraid of me.
He swallows, the act noticeably harder than it should have been.
Of course she is, he thinks, unable to hold her gaze. She looks so… helpless. His face grows hot at the thought, guilt, like bile, rises in his throat.
Did she think he’d hurt her?
“Shhh,” Aedes hushes, hands reaching cautiously towards her, afraid she’d run off if given the opportunity. “Please… don't be afraid.”
He would.
As he reaches, Aedes’ eyes catch sight of his blacked claws. The sight freezes him in place, stomach churning at the thought of what he must look like to her. She had been terrifying. If this woman before him had been terrifying- what was he?
