HELLO SQUIDDY ANON! 💗💗💗 first of all I'm mentally sending you big hugs for asking me omg ahfjfjfk 🥺 I've made a couple of posts about it (and written a couple of drabbles x3c) but I've made a couple of changes to the story so I'll try to tell a condensed version under a readmore shdjfjf

Ok! So, my headcanon for David before he was turned has always been that he came from the mid to late 1900s during cowboy times but after reading a fic by one of my fave writers for the fandom /darling-disastrous about being his reincarnated lover I couldn't stop thinking about how it'd fit into my self ship?? I get to think about a soft cowboy romance AND an edgy vampire romance, its the best of both worlds!! So the backstory:

David was born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents that frankly didn't want him. His dad left while he was still a baby and his mom wasn't too happy to be left with him, so he was pretty much learning to be on his own from a very young age. He ran away to venture west and try to live the free life of a cowboy, but he seems to have a knack for getting into trouble, especially when you have to steal to survive. He's basically more of a street rat than a cowboy, and while he's spending some time in Santa Carla he tries to steal from some goons who hurt him pretty badly but he ends up getting away!

Thats where I come in! I'm fairly high class, comfortable you know. My parents own a store in town and we have a little house on the coast, but on my way into town I happen upon David! I obviously can't leave him, so I take him home with me to be able to nurse him back to health and that's when we start falling for each other. x3 once he's healed he stays in our guest house while also working for my family to 'pay off his debts' but really its to stay close to me, and of course we end up madly, stupidly in love with each other. We keep it a secret for a long time, cause he was a common thief and we don't think my parents would exactly approve but he wants to whisk me away and start a life together somewhere else but the problem is he doesnt have a penny to his name!

Thats when he meets Max, whos a close friend of my family. No one KNOWS he's actually an evil vampire cause hes well-respected and owns a popular hotel in town and he happens to have need for a young man like David to run security for him. And what he means by that basically is to do whatever he wants. From looking after his hotel, his belongings, to bringing people for him to eat and David can't really say no because he needs the job. But once Max catches wind that David has finally saved enough and is getting ready to leave with me, he throws a party at the hotel and we're all invited.

David was dressed to the nines and so was I, we were so happy and he was gonna finally pop the question. But those goons that had it out for David showed up and they got into a shootout, and I'm shot in the process. I'm fading fast and Max tells David that he can save me, we just both have to drink his blood so we can become vampires. We'd be monsters, but we'd be together for all eternity, and that's good enough reason for David to accept. And he drinks the blood to start the process but its too late for me and I'm gone. David goes on a grief-fueled rampage and kills the goons who caused all of this, completing his transformation.

Now he's alone and completely under Max's thumb, but soon enough other boys start getting turned so he meets Dwayne, Paul, and Marko and things are as they are in the movie. But everything changes when he starts to feel my presence again, which confuses him but he mostly ignores until we bump into each other and he sees me. Sees my face again. And that's when the edgy vampire romance comes in! The dynamic is super interesting cause we're both very different now, and I don't know him anymore. But we were meant to be, so hes willing to do anything so I don't slip away again!
