#if nicky is living w booker and being melancholic and melodramatic

[marwankenzarisgaylittleearring]

Your vampire AU is awesome! Too many good parts but faves are Joe who is so true to movie Joe in his exhuberance and warmth, and Nicky in awe of how beautiful Joe is - I've never related with Nicky so much. Idk if you will write a sequel but if there is ever a continuation, please can Booker get a happy ending, I love that French idiot. Thanks for sharing <3

IM SO GLAD U LIKED IT !!!! i’m not necessarily planning a sequel but there are just so many extra bits that i would have liked to fit in there that are just wasting away in my extra-bits file, and okay, for you, i will put in the little joe&booker interaction that was supposed to go in there somewhere (that i tried to fit in 3 different times and never ended up being able to use) under a readmore here bc i, too, love that french idiot

(this was meant to come right after the first feeding)

Once Dr. al-Kaysani is finished inspecting himself and Nicolo equally, has re-dressed and packed away his remaining equipment, they make their way back down to the front hall. With suddenness Sébastien’s playing stops, and Nicolo hears his brother’s footsteps behind them.

“Nico,” he says, opening the door to his bedroom. “Have you seen my- oh.”

The grin on Séba’s face makes Nicolo think that he was only waiting to catch a glimpse of his guest. His choice of bedmates is no longer scandalous to the rest of the Family, and Sébastien does not object morally to any of it, but that does not stop him from being annoying. Nicolo sighs and casts his gaze up to the heavens.

“Sébastien, this is the doctor al-Kaysani.” He says it with some gravity, to ensure his brother does not make a fool of both of them. “Dr. al-Kaysani, this is my brother Sébastien.”

Being preoccupied as he is with sending silent prayers to whomever may be listening that Séba keeps his mouth shut firmly, it takes Nicolo a moment to notice the twin-look both men are wearing.

He does not miss, however, when the doctor laughs heartily. “I know you!” He exclaims.

“Nicolo, are you quite aware of the company you keep?” Séba’s tone is jovial, his grin mean. He has not looked quite so carefree in some time. “The esteemed doctor Yusuf al-Kaysani, yes, we’ve heard a lot about him. But nothing quite so egregious as his taste in sports teams.”

“Repeat that without your brother between us, dear fellow!” The doctor croons.

“Last I did that you broke my nose.”

“And set it, too!” His hands land on Nicolo’s shoulders, and he grins broadly. “Mr. di Genova, you have been living with the inspiration of this project all this time and did not tell me?”

He is saved from answering by perhaps the strangest thing that has happened all evening. Sébastien advancing towards the two of them and wrapping the doctor up in such a hug Nicolo wonders quite how long they have known each other prior to this. His heart aches to see the way Dr. al-Kaysani’s hand fits against the back of his brother’s head.
