Work Text:
It was some ungodly hour of the night, probably around two or three am in the morning. Matt’s flat was relatively quiet as she sat in her overly complex night gown. She had been struggling to suppress her vampire urges for once, the craving for blood almost making her go crazy. She gnawed on ice, wincing as it did nothing but make her fangs ache even more than they already did.
“Ouch! Damn it, this isn’t working!” They hissed, slamming the cup of ice on their living room table. Frown visibly forming as they thought about taking blood from one of their partners as a last resort.
“I know they wouldn’t mind but.. still..” he whined, rubbing his cheek with his hand. It was late, their fangs hurt really bad, and she might actually hurt someone if they didn’t consume blood soon. The feeling was overwhelming. They really thought the ice trick would work, seeing as humans commonly ate ice if they had low iron or something like that.
Matt decided it was time to call it quits with the ice, dumping the rest of it down her kitchen sink with a groan of annoyance. Currently her internal conflict would have to wait, the more pressing matter was her inescapable urge to consume.
She supposed maybe Edd would be awake at this hour but was bugging him about this really worth it? Like maybe they’d just sleep it off and it wouldn’t matter anymore. Though the aching in their fangs, entire jaw and their head really said otherwise.
They hissed again, frustrated with their options they decided to bite the bullet and sneak into Edd’s flat. Though it wasn’t that hard considering they had a key and lived basically right next to him. The living room was empty, which was to be expected at this hour.
Not shockingly, his bedroom door was open but the lights were off beside his computer screen and drawing tablet. Edd himself was dressed in a t-shirt, some sweat pants and laying his head on his desk, pushing the clutter of cans and loose papers around in a half-sleep.
Matt sighed, really wishing Edd would take better care of himself, and feeling even worse for having to wake him in this state. She carefully stepped into the room, avoiding the clothes and empty cans she could.
Edd himself was partially awake and a light sleeper, so he woke up anyway.
“M-Matt..? What are you doing here..? Did something happen??” He sat up, stretching and yawning but not yet turning around.
The vampire froze, a bit taken aback that Edd knew it was her.
“What? No, everything is fine- Well, kind of- Wait. How’d you know it was me?” She raised an eyebrow as Edd turned around in his chair to face her. He had a serious case of bedhead, and his glasses were slightly bent from falling asleep with them on.
“Well, Tom could never enter a room that quietly even if he tried, and you are too tall to be Ringo, but she usually sleeps on my bed anyways..” He softly smiled, taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes.
“That does make sense.. Uhm..” She cleared her throat, anxious to ask such an embarrassing question. She swallowed while thinking on how best to ask your boyfriend if you can drink his blood.
“Would you mind if I.. took some blood from you..? You don’t have to say yes, I’m just in a LOT of pain right now an-“
“NO. I WOULDN’T MIND.” Edd spoke a little too enthusiastically, startling Matt from their nerves to look at him like he was a little crazy.
“I mean uhm.. anything to help..!” He backpedaled, which seemed to calm the other at least a little.
Matt rubbed their cheek while smiling, trying to soothe the pain themself to no avail. Edd stood up from his desk chair and tilted his head slightly up to be facing his partner somewhat directly.
“So, how do you go about this?” he questioned, hand on his chin.
Matt exhaled with brief relief, before laughing a breathy nervous laugh. Edd’s willingness was a bit unnerving to them.
“Well it’s.. pretty straightforward, but I do recommend you sit down, you’ll get dizzy,” She sat on Edd’s bed, he had followed and sat next to her.
Matt fiddled with their pajama shirt sleeve, starting to feel a bit guilty asking for something like this. It felt so greedy, so selfish in the moment, especially as Edd looked back at her with such care in his eyes.
“You seem more nervous about this than I am..” Edd laughed softly, grabbing Matt’s hands in his own.
Matt herself exhaled, smiling a bit as she adjusted her position on the bed.
“Maybe a little, are you sure you’re okay with this?”
“Matt. I have never been more sure of anything. In my life.” Edd furrowed his brow, making sure his point came across but it just ended up making Matt giggle.
“What? I’m serious!” Edd crossed his arms and gave a fake pout.
Matt apologized softly, moving her hands to gently grab Edd’s face.
“I know… but if you are so sure… stay still~”
Edd tilted his head to give Matt easier access to his neck as they both shifted to be more so lying on the bed than sitting. Matt, on top of Edd, exhaled a bit before sinking their fangs into Edd’s neck causing him to squirm a bit due to natural reflexes but he eventually relaxed.
His breath hitched as Matt continued to drink his blood. It was everything they had wanted and craved, the relief in their entire body being almost instant. Their bodies were so intimately intertwined in that moment. Edd groaned, the loss of blood definitely getting to him. Matt had finally pulled away, licking some blood off of their fangs.
“I’m sorry if that was uncomfortable at all..” Matt rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly as Edd struggled to regain his composure. Matt was unsure if it was because he was into it or because he had blood drained out of him however.
“No.. No, not really..” He flushed in an equal amount of awkwardness, eyes looking everywhere but meeting his partner’s. They stayed like that for a while, Matt slowly moving off of Edd while he tried to catch his breath.
Edd broke their silence with a simple question.
“Did it… taste good..?” He raised an eyebrow.
Matt took a second to process the question, scratching her neck a bit as she slowly blinked.
“It tastes sweet, like all that cola you drink has an effect on your blood's taste or something..” She finally responded, giggling softly as she fixed her pajama shirt.
“Huh.. that’s interesting..” Edd yawned, his sleepiness catching up to him.
“I’m sorry for this again.. thank you, I’ll let you go back to sleep..” Matt went to get up but was stopped by Edd.
“Wait, hey.. I know you sleep earlier in the morning but.. Would you mind lying with me while I slept?” Edd moved over in bed to make more room for Matt and gently patted the space next to him.
The vampire turned around and crawled back into the bed, fitting relatively comfortably due to being a similar height to Edd. She didn’t even mind the smell of sweat and food knowing her boyfriend was really warm and in her arms now. She soon fell asleep holding Edd as he slept.
