#anyway uhhh talk to me about ikevamp gays i care for them a lot

[longingkisses]

some vincent/shakespeare hc’s because they deserve the world, actually >:(

ever since the the drunk on your love event i have never known peace. i regret not collecting the theocona and leocomte stories but hey what can you do when ur broke amirght? well at least these two were pretty early on so i really must stan. no spoilers for their routes as well, so uh. :) rated general, just fluffy all around. love yall hhahahaha xoxo 😎

honestly, the way they got together is probably some deep dark secret. it’s a lost cause to ask shakespeare, and asking vincent just gets nothing but a nonchalent smile

no, seriously. vincent will probably react with a dreamy smile, slight blush and just trying to get words out from him feels like a sin because well- the dude's just lost in the sauce. the love sauce

because of this, theo lives in paranoia. what happens when his older brother goes off on his own? apparently he starts dating the murder(?) vampire that mom and pops warned you about

when they first start dating though, nobody really knows for sure. the playwright comes often more for lunch and vincent goes out on his own more, but it wasn’t enough to draw that much attention.

but theyre not ashamed of each other. vincent is absolutely willing to kiss shakespeare at any time of the day and if that's how their relationship is found out, so be it

safe to say, theo cried in anguish for about 3 days. if he even sees a cheek kiss from the two he blacks out for hours

and once theo finds out, EVERYBODY knows. a lot of them are alright with it, just a bit cautious.

unsurprisingly, its theo, comte and leo who are the most concerned.

theo is... self-explanatory. a younger brother has to cope with his older brother dating somehow though.

comte is MAMA. in his own way he tries to figure out how the two are doing, feeling, and how the hell this happens.

vincent unironically thinks so highly of shakes. once comte asks, the painter practically lights and goes on about how 'passionate' that will is, how he admires the other's work ethic, overjoyed how the will also enjoys spending time with him...

it makes comte's heart melt. this count knows damn well how vincent deserves to be happy, even with the resident more like neighboring drama queen

and when comte turns to shakespeare... oh god

bring up vincent to willy shakes and the dude goes full gas on the ballads. a lot of ballads. vincent as the dazzling sun, light of his eternal life, most curious dear vincent-

anyway, comte leaves happy that his sons are happy. that's all that matters. even if he totally has some backup care plans if things go awry, because they might. who knows with shakes honestly

and then... leo. leo and vincent are art buddies, and even then leo is also quite protective of the vamps. its a dad thing

he just tells vincent to be careful, and only vincent. the playwright tends to just avoid leo at all times, but the message is very, very clear. no correspondence needed.

other than that, the two are very much in their own world

they always share their pieces with each other. when shakespeare comes up with a new script, he's always ready to regale it with vincent

likewise, vincent starts showing all his paintings to shakes like he would with theo.

at times, when vincent has no idea what to name the piece, shakespeare is actually willing to a hand at naming them. his suggestions are always met with an angelic smile.

to pay back for those favors, vincent is also completely willing to paint sets for his boyfriend. although its very serious work, considering just how much shakespeare cares for his plays.

but william doesnt complain. what his love does is always breathtaking, and there's a hint of pride that lingers in his heart when the audience murmurs about the beautiful sets.

such things begin happening way more often. in fact one day, will just asks vincent if he wants to move in with him

to his dismay, vincent does refuse. the painter isnt quite ready to leave theo just yet, more likely until younger bro is alright with their.. arrangements. those brothers need to work on some issues, in william’s opinion, and while it would serve as good script inspiration...

he just cant do it. not even the possibility of a when comes into mind

but the promise of having a future together definitely excites the both of them. it motivates them to work harder than before, and its just nice to have a semblance of a purpose

but for the meantime, the two are totally content to have a sleepover at shakespeare's villa. just themselves and their thoughts..

the two can totally just deal with the vincent search party in the morning.
