part 1 -> link

After your shot of alcohol and giving a tip, vampire Yeonjun takes your hand and leads you out of the bar. Then you lead him to your apartment.

Once you get to your apartment door you find your keys to open it. You enter placing your keys into your key dish next to the door. You look behind you expecting Yeonjun to be pressed against like he has all night. Instead you see him standing outside looking awkward. He notices you cute eyebrow scrunch as a sign of confusion and says,

"You have to invite a vampire in your home before they are allowed to enter. Vampire's rule."

you click you tongue, "Oh well then, Yeonjun, I give you permission to come in."

You barely blink and Yeonjun leaps into you holding your face kissing you. You're surprised at first almost losing your balance but gave into the kiss. His tongue swipes your bottom lip as his way of asking to open and you obliged. You try to close the front door before any of your neighbors walk by and watch you two making out like teenagers.

Yeonjun helps slam the door shut as he slams you into the door. You whimper at the action which makes the vampire's ears perk up.

"sorry"

"Its ok, can we take this to me room though?"

"gladly"

You take his hand in yours showing the way into your very dark room. Yeonjun closes the door making it impossible for you to see anything. Blinded, you feel hands on your waist. Yeonjun's plush lips were against your neck, kissing and nibbling the soft flesh. You tilt your head to give him better access to ruin your pretty neck.

"do you trust me enough to let me suck your blood?"

"I trusted you to draw my blood, I trust you to taste my blood"

You feel Yeonjun's lips turn into a smirk against your neck. Then, he opens his mouth to reveal his long fangs and bites down. You gasp at the pain and reach for Yeonjun's hand around your waist. Yeonjun is instantly drunk on your blood yet he soothes you by rubbing circles on you hand. So sweet and smooth, its been a long time since he's had fresh lustful blood.

He could tell that he was drinking too much as your grasp on his hand being to lighten. He unlatches his fangs from you neck. You moan at the feeling of his tongue lapping up leftover blood.

Yeonjun picks you up bridal style and places you on your bed. You're a little dazed but you were able to reach towards your night stand to turn on your lamp on low.

As the dim light glows over your bedroom, there he was hovering over you staring at you deeper than ever. Your felt your cheeks getting hotter and your panties getting wetter. Yeonjun smiles and kisses you when he senses your arousal.

"for a girl whose never been with a vampire, you're pretty strong after a feed"

You grin at him comment and then lean in to kiss him. He gives you one more kiss until he leaves a trail of kisses down your jaw and neck. You whimper again out of slight pain from the bite. Yeonjun finds himself loving your little noises and continues to kiss your bite while he slips your straps of your dress off your shoulders and slides the garment to expose your breasts.

He hums at the sight of your soft mounds and can't help himself but to fondle with them. You lean your head back into your pillow moaning at the feeling.

"you're hot as hell, can I undress you fully?"

"only if you get undressed too"

Yeonjun would never turn down a pretty girl's request. He slips your dress along with your panties off in one go flinging them across the room. Then he gets up to peel off his shirt to show his toned abs and then pushing down in pants to reveal his holy grail.

He enjoys watching your lustful eyes on him. Seeing you lick your lips. He places his hand under your chin to lift your head so you can look at his gorgeous burgundy orbs.

"I want to make this night all about you since you fed me."

All you could do is nod. He leans down to start makingout with you again.

"you did so good for me while I was draining you. will you let me do it again sometime?"

"y-yes.. ah"

Yeonjun's long fingers find their way to your soaking cunt. Cirlcling and pinching your swollen clit making sure your juices make his fingers to slip in easily. He admires your contoured fucked out face as he thrust his two fingers into you. He abuses your neck more with love bites. His possessive nature taking control as he's never had someone make him feel this good in his very long lifespan. He whispers "mine" constantly while adding another finger into your pussy hitting every spot that makes you scream.

"jun please fuck me... please"

He lines his big cock to your hole then sinks into you relishing in the feeling of you tight and warm. You moan so loudly it probably woke up your neighbors, but you didn't care.

"feels good, jun"

You hold onto to his shoulders when Yeonjun thrusts a inhuman speed.

"jun too... fass-t"

Yeonjun couldn't slow down. Not with the evidence of your pulse rushing at a climax pace and the feeling of your walls clenching around his cock. He lifts up your legs pushing them towards your chest to get a better angle. Legs wrapped over his shoulders, he reaches down to your clit again making enough pressure to make you scream as you cum. Yeonjun pulls out, quickly jerks himself off not taking long for him to shoot out rope of cum onto your stomach.

Yeonjun bends down to kiss you again fighting the urge to go again as you looked completely fucked over. He flops down one the empty side of the bed next to you. Both of you were panting. Yeonjun looks at you admiring his work on your neck. You were still processing what just happened.

"do you have work tomorrow?"

"no, unless you need a blood draw."

You both giggle and looking at each other lovingly. Yeonjun reaches over to brush your hair with his fingers relaxing you until you fell asleep next to the vampire phlebotomist.

Oh what a nuisance,

TxT's Devil

I'm a phlebotomist, and it's very common for my patients to have various histories with venipuncture. Some have a phobia of needles, or of blood. Some get dizzy and/or black out. Some might have veins that are difficult to access. Some people might just want to know more. So I wanted to make a post to help.

Tip #1 - You can always ask for someone else.

If you aren't comfortable with the person drawing your blood, for ANY reason, you have the right to request someone else do it. If they missed on the first try and you don't want them to try again? If they seem rude or disrespectful to you? If you just get a weird vibe from them? Ask for someone else.

There's a couple situations where, in my opinion, you should ALWAYS ask for someone else:

You have dark skin, and the phlebotomist comments that it's hard to locate your veins. That's not how it works, finding the best venipuncture site is done by feel, so if anyone says this they're either doing their job wrong, or trying to use your skin tone as an excuse for their having difficulty. Trouble finding a vein can happen with any patient.

You're having blood drawn (via a new poke, NOT an IV being put in or used) and a nurse is the one doing it. Nurses outrank us, yes, but they are not anywhere near as practiced in drawing blood, and quite frankly most of them aren't very good at it. (Idk if this is different outside the US)

The person drawing your blood doesn't listen or brushes you off when you explain that you have a history of wooziness/fainting.

To be clear, someone else won't necessarily be available 100% of the time, especially because of the current pandemic. But most of the time it should be doable.

Tip #2- Communicate and keep track of what works

A lot of the time, patients feel guilty about "making a fuss" or "giving us trouble." Even sometimes patients who don't require anything special, but look away from the needle, think they're being difficult- probably 1/3 of patients can't watch it! But even people who DO need something extra, we are fully equipped to provide that additional care, it's part of our job and no trouble whatsoever.

Things you should communicate:

"I've fainted or almost fainted from getting blood drawn before" / "I'm feeling dizzy" Even if you're an outpatient, places will usually have an extra supportive chair/recliner to put you in so you can stay safe, crackers and juice to help get your blood sugar back up, and/or a quiet place you can rest for a little afterwards.

"Can you talk to me and distract me?" / "Can I ask you some questions to soothe my nerves?" Yeah, sure, I don't mind at all. I can't promise that I can answer all the questions, some might go to your doctor or nurse, but whatever makes you feel better.

"That SERIOUSLY hurts!" Any pain should be mostly gone after the needle stops moving. If it still hurts while the blood is flowing, especially if it's an electric kind of pain that radiates down your arm or hand, tell the phlebotomist to remove the needle immediately, because it's likely touching a nerve. I don't mean to scare you, this is rare, and when it does happen there's usually no ill effects other than extra bruising, but obviously we don't want the needle there.

"I'm on blood thinners / am a hemophiliac" Ideally the phlebotomist should ask you, but they might not, especially if you're young. NSAIDs, especially aspirin, do count as blood thinners at any dosage, so if you took some for a headache you should mention it. Don't worry about it, we draw from tons of old people who are on thinners, we're used to it, it's just good to know.

"I have difficult veins, but last time they got it from right here." Everyone's body changes from day to day, so your veins might not be the same as before. But it's good to remember the place that has been successful, it can save a lot of time and sticks. (Scar tissue especially can make it hard to feel which veins are still accessible, which means IV drug users can be hard to draw from, but when they know exactly which veins are good, it's no problem!)

"Before it took more than two people to find the vein" / "They had to put a hot pack on me to bring the vein up" / "My veins roll a lot" Related to the previous bullet, it's common for people to say they have difficult veins, but it's only useful if you're more specific. A lot of people think they have harder veins than they do.

That said, don't insist that we use a butterfly or pediatric needle. You don't have the training to determine what kind of needle we need to use. Butterfly needles are expensive, and in many places they're in short supply, and we have to ration them out. Additionally, using a needle that's too thin for the strength of the blood flow can damage the blood, which can ruin the sample. Most adults do absolutely fine with a normal straight needle, whether it hurts depends on the skill of the phlebotomist, and on luck. If you insist on a butterfly when you don't need one, you might end up with the kind of butterfly that's actually a bigger needle than the straight needle.

Tip #3 - Be hydrated

There's not much else to say here. Unless you're about to have surgery and you're specifically not supposed to drink anything, it makes things much faster and quicker if you're well-hydrated. Eating is also good, but a lot of blood tests are fasting ones, so make sure you're okay to eat beforehand or the tests might be pointless.

Well, I think that's all! If anyone wants to add on to this, feel free, especially anyone who can compare and contrast with advice for patients having IVs put in!

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

As I’ve mentioned before, I have a very severe phobia of needles.  I actually had a medical exemption from vaccines at one point because my phobia was so bad that I had accidentally hurt nurses (and my sibling) in my panic.  It’s gotten better over the years because I’ve actively searched out ways to improve my experience.

So for my fellow trypanophobes, here are some tips that have helped me reduce my panic when I have to get blood drawn:

1) tell the phlebotomist (person who draws blood) that you have a phobia.  Usually they’ll be more gentle and understanding if they know that you’re panicking and not just being stubborn.  They might also have you lay down, which might help you relax a bit more.

2) keep your eyes closed during the blood drawing.  I find that just looking away isn’t enough, and I end up glancing over at the needle and freaking myself out.

3) get a benzo like ativan or xanax to take ~20 minutes before the blood draw.  Benzo aren’t super safe to take all the time, but you can ask your doctor or psychiatrist to give you a single dose to take to help control your panic.  The first time you do this it might not reduce your phobia that much, but over the course of a few blood drawings with a benzo in play your phobia will fade slowly.  Make sure you take the meds at least once before you take it at an appointment so you know how it effects you.  I don’t recommend driving while on benzos because they can cause extreme drowsiness in some people.

4) if benzos are scary for you, you can take something more mild like CBD or an herbal anxiety relief.

5) bring someone with you.  It might be helpful to have someone with you to talk to you while you’re getting your blood drawn.  Also, if your anxiety causes you to have trouble speaking, you can instruct them on what to say to the phlebotomist.  They can also drive you to and from the appointment if your anxiety makes it difficult to drive safely.

6) have the phlebotomist take blood from your hand.  I know, you probably just cringed at that because it sound super uncomfortable, but hear me out.  It tends to hurt and bruise less, especially if they have a lot of trouble getting blood from you normally.  The needle they use (a butterfly needle I think?) is much smaller so it you don’t feel it going in or coming out as much.  Usually the veins on your hand are pretty pronounced as well, so they don’t have to spend as much time poking around to find the right spot.  I had my blood taken from my hand today and I was in and out in 5 minutes.  The less time you spend in the office, the less time you have to work yourself into a frenzy.

7) plan to take the day off if you can.  Having to face your phobia is exhausting.  Chances are you’re probably not going to feel well for the rest of the day. It’s ok to just chill in bed for the day to recover. 

8) treat yourself to something afterwards.  For fasting blood work, the obvious choice is to take yourself out for a nice breakfast afterwards.  It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, it can be a McDonalds breakfast sandwich if that’s what you really want.  If it’s a non-fasting blood work, I usually get an icee or a soda for myself, but you could also get ice cream or frozen yogurt or whatever you really want but don’t get often.  That way, while you’re getting the blood work done, you can think “when this is done I’m going to get x thing” instead of thinking about what’s going on in the room.

Do keep in mind that this phobia isn’t trauma-related as far as I’m aware.  I’ve just always been like this.  So I don’t really know if these tips will work for trauma-based phobias.  Feel free to try them anyway though, I assume most of them are pretty universal.
