Oh yes! My favorite part was the curl of the shell. But, I preferred rabbits.

He would love that, and would wear it often.

He loves it! Flowers are sweet, but herbs are exciting to his senses!

He awoke first to the smell of blossoms and greenery before seeing the source. With a pleasant gasp, he moved to the flowers for a closer look.

His expression softened. He wanted to kiss him again, to embrace him,but instead glanced down to his own clasped hands. “Thank you.”

“I thought—“ They were past that. He shook his head with a hint of a smile. “You haven’t yet.”

“Do I…?” He was being too obvious again. Slowing his movements, he calmed himself and simply studied the man beside him. Should he open up? He was never very good at masking his feelings. “I am afraid of losing you—your friendship. Of being alone again.” He shrugged dismissively.

Quickly looking back with a gasp, “oh, I wouldn’t do that without asking! Not only is it rude, but it’s… a violation.”

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
“How else would I kiss you,” he answered flippantly and looked away for something to distract them from this topic. Books, herbs, sharp equipment…

“But it wasn’t the flames you tensed at. It was me, my closeness to you. How can you love me when you don’t even want me to be near you?” He stopped short. There it was. his fear spoken aloud. Oh dear. How to cover this up. He smiled and changed the subject. “My arm feels better! Thank you.”

“They fear the pain you will cause. But your purpose and intention is good.” He muttered like a scolded child.

His eyes lowered to his arm, now mostly healed with a patch of pink where blisters were minutes before. “I won’t put myself in harm’s way. You have my word on that.” The ancient vampire was so desperate to feel something. Warmth. Touch. To know that he was loved.

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
He held his lips pressed against the warm touch of Josef’s for just a moment before reluctantly pulling back. The blue of his eyes had a touch of lavender to them when they opened. “You’re afraid of me.”

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
“Thank you.” Benedict studied Josef for a moment, his own delicate brows furrowed before he closed his eyes and leaned just enough to barely brush his nose against the other’s cheek. Not daring for more.

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
He nodded, taking note of the request before he continued. “And if I were to leave within your lifetime?” As if he were going on a trip.

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
“I-I don’t know.” He whispered and inhaled through his nose at the touch against the blistered skin. It hurt, even as it healed. “When my time comes, will you scatter my ashes?” He is not sure where the question came from.

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
He wanted to hide this from Josef, knowing it would frighten him. With a strained smile, he waited for his arm to heal.

Playing with fire again. If he could just endure the flames.

You know it’s spring when the birds are singing before the sun rises!

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
Benedict smiled. It wasn’t a content smile, but rather one intended to placate his friend. He knew to keep his “silly”, ancient fear of eternal damnation silent. “You are right. As long as I live, my soul is mine.”

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

“My soul…” He sighed. “I’ve heard stories of the first blood drinkers, that they are the ones that maintain us and must be kept if we are to continue. It is through them and because of them that I live.”

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
He sat up straighter, looking at Josef, perplexed. “Perhaps I do; I don’t know…” he was thinking back now, upon his turning. “It does not hurt as it did when my body died. I simply… go dark until the sun sets.”

// well if that doesn’t sound creepy af 😂

The smile faded into thought. “I don’t think anything really changes with death. It happens to all living things. It can even happen to me, as it is only an ancient magic that maintains my body.” He fell silent. The old questions still remained for him..
110
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
The time of the Greeks. What magic did he hold, and where did it come from? He was more proof to me of the supernatural than I have ever seen in my life. He had the beauty of an angel, the power of a devil and was utterly overwhelming to my senses.”

He smiled softly, tilting his head curiously. He could search Josef’s mind, but found that grift was a cruelty with those close to him. “Since you’ve met me?” He gave a little chuckle. “I suppose I was the same way after I met Rhosh. He stood before me, a live, having defeated death since >

The smile quickly returned. “I don’t know what that says about you or I! I am neither ghost nor angel, and have been taught to blend in with mortals. After a pause, Benedict leaned in slightly toward the man, curious. “Why do you ask these questions?”
010
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
The smile faded pensively. Benedict did not expect this line of questioning from him. “Angels appear to us however they want, but they are not ghosts. They do not have the heaviness of soul nor are they unaware of themselves the way ghosts are.”
010
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
Benedict laughed softly, but not unkindly. “No, at least I don’t think so! It isn’t a preternatural skill by any means. But sometimes.. walking through the streets, or in old houses, I will catch a glimpse of.. something. It looks human but I cannot sense it as such. It never remains long.”
010
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
He shrugged dismissively at the first question. “The only ghouls I have seen have been cruel mortals or feral, ancient blood drinkers.” The talk of ghosts was far more pleasant. “Oh, yes! Haven’t you?”
010
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
He sat up at the question. “Ghouls! Absolutely not! At least, not that I have seen.” He then paused to consider the question, glancing down at his outstretched feet briefly. “But ghosts, yes. People who are trapped on earth for some reason or another.”
010
Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
“Oh, you needn’t worry about that! I would tell you if that happened. And I’d be just as surprised!” He gave a little chuckle.

Benedict smiled at the idea as his gaze followed the gesture toward the bed before he moved to sit down upon it. His smile widened a little as he spoke, “of course you do! People don’t know how to be anything other than what they are. It is only that state of being that changes with death.”

Benedict @gentlebenedict.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
Hm, no. But he isn’t hungry. Just happy for the slightly warmer weather. Spring is in the air.
