Bite Gently, Please

The faucet in Yan Weiyu's rental apartment breaks, so he messages the landlord to send someone over to fix it.

The repairman who arrives is a pale-skinned, handsome man. As soon as he steps inside and takes off his coat, he looks around in disgust. "Do you live in a doghouse?"

Yan Weiyu: "..."

How can someone be so rude?

Yan Weiyu fires back: "You're the dog!"

The man isn't a repairman. He's the landlord, Yan Jinsi.

Yan Weiyu thinks he's got no sense of boundaries and is obnoxious, and figures he probably doesn't like him much either. So he decides not to renew his lease next month and starts looking for a new place.

But he gets hurt in an accident while viewing an apartment.

He has barely made it home when the doorbell rings again. It's Yan Jinsi.

Yan Weiyu opens the door, looking annoyed. "What is it?"

The visitor says nothing, staring at the blood-soaked bandage around his neck.

After a long moment, he suddenly smiles and says, just as obnoxiously as before, "I was wondering where that smell of blood was coming from... So you're cosplaying as a mummy?"

Yan Weiyu, his wound throbbing: :)

The day he moves out, he's definitely going to beat this damn landlord up.

One month later, on the night his lease expires, in the rental apartment.

Clothes and cushions are scattered across the floor around the sofa.

Yan Weiyu grits his teeth and gasps for breath, his face flushed red, his whole body trembling and his eyes brimming with tears.

Yan Jinsi's fangs press against his neck, his long lashes brushing his throat. One large hand presses against his lower back as their bodies fit tightly together. In a soft, gentle voice, he coaxes, "Be good, baby. I'll reward you in a little while, okay?"

[Bonus Scene]

After they get together, Yan Jinsi says he wants to change his surname and take Yan as well.

Yan Weiyu finds him baffling. "Isn't Yan a perfectly good surname?"

Yan Jinsi smiles at him. "I want to have my husband's surname."

Yan Weiyu: "..."

Yan Jinsi: "Husband?" He strokes Yan Weiyu's chin. "Say something."

Yan Weiyu slaps away his wandering hand and suddenly shouts in anger, "F-fine, do whatever you want!"

One-on-one romance, both are each other's first, older top, happy ending.

Tsundere, fiery human bottom x flirtatious, sly vampire top.

1. This story pairs a handsome top with a handsome bottom. The top teases the bottom and calls him "husband." If that bothers you, don't read.

2. Here, "flirtatious" means shamelessly cheeky. The top is the sort to throw himself at someone, in a shameless but not derogatory way... But I was worried that labeling him "shameless" would be misunderstood, so I used "flirtatious" instead.
