Walter had a spring in his step as he went to find Alucard. It had been the best day he could remember, possibly ever. The thing that would make the day better would be something hot and fresh, and the company of another old friend.

The smaller vampire materialized behind Walter, covering his eyes, "Guess who!" Though Angel likely felt him as he approached. Still, it was an amusing start to what promised to be a fun night.

Alucard figured he owed Walter's new state of mind to Lacroix and, though Angel seemed far more chipper than he could ever imagine the boy being, that was fairly fine by him.

Walter grinned and covered Alucard's hands with his own. "My guess would be... Attila the Hun?"

It was so refreshing to be able to be around Alucard without even the least vestige of rage infringing on the moment.

"Was I right?"

"Close. But only a distant relative," Then leaned in, breathing against Walter's ear, "I should get a reward for fooling you." Then pulled away and giggled. "I'm famished. . someone warm tonight? A virgin?"

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"If it makes you happy," Walter said, turning around to smile down on the older vampire. "I haven't had a virgin yet. They aren't that easy to come by in this city, it seems, but I'm sure we'll find someone to suit your tastes."

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

Tilting his head, black hair spilled over the white of one shoulder as he put a finger to his lips in thought, "This city is full of debauchery, isn't it? Though I am sure we can find a handful of virgins or one at the least."

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

Walter reached out to finger Alucard's hair. He'd always loved how it managed to be both silky fine and heavy at the same time.

"The hunt can be as much fun as the finding anyway," he said without any trace of irony. "Lead on."

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

"Lead on? Do you not wish to sniff the prey this evening, Angel? I can if I must," But had paused and stilled to feel Walter's cool fingers in his hair. With a contented expression he scratched ligthly nails against Walter's shirt, then twirled away.

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"I cannot smell out virgins yet." Walter smirked at his next words, even if Alucard truly did still think of him as the boy he appeared to be, "I am just a youngster at this after all."

Twirling and prancing and next would come flouncing. His old companion was too adorable for words.

"I shall teach you then," Alucard replied generously, fairly skipping ahead of them. He liked the illusion of youth, it led prey to feel at ease and other vampires to let down their guard.

"We can paint each other in the blood and lick it off."

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

Walter grinned and lengthened his stride to keep up with Alucard. "Like that one time in Devon? Except this time I'll actually want to taste some of the blood, too."

Not that he'd ever been squeamish if blood had gotten on his face or lips, but now... now it was ambrosia.

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

"I wanted you to taste it then, to enjoy our kill. ." He purred in memory, then smirked, flashing a single, delicately curved canine. "This time will be more enjoyable."

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"The company's just as good, though." Walter caught up with Alucard and matched his pace, bumping his shoulder against the smaller vampire. "And hunting here doesn't even deplete the population."

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't it? Do more appear when we eat one?" He asked. Arthur neglected to inform him of The City's rules. And Integral had only briefly informed him of curses.

Leaning in across the bumped shoulders, he nipped at Walter's jawline, leaving a space of air between teeth and flesh, but mimicking the motion.

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

Walter quickly turned his head, lips brushing feather light over Alucard's before he answered. "People don't stay dead here. And more people come even when others disappear."

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

Girlycard's eyes widened slightly, "Don't stay dead? But what of Arthur? He has no pulse and no heat. Or do they just keep coming back. Hm. This place is a veritable all you can eat buffet <3 "

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"Arthur came here already dead, as did I. In his case, he's a dead human, so you can tell the difference. In my case, as a dead vampire, the lack of living function in rather a moot point."

He shrugged philosophically. "But we both can enjoy life's pleasures, so there's little reason to complain, and I'm given to understand that the people who died here in the City in the past year were returned to true life by the City's gods at the new year."

The memory of how he spent his New Year's Eve and day was submerged under the tidal wave of joy that came to push away any possible source of unhappiness. He laughed and reached for Alucard's hand, intending to pull him forward. He was hungry and hot, fresh blood was exactly what they both needed.

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

Alucard allowd Walter to grab his hand and trotted after him, "They're close. I don't care, virgin or no, we should kill them and play."

Then things would be normal. Well, Walter was a bit more up than usual, but otherwise normal. He owed Lacroix a thank you for this <3

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"Yes, yes!" Walter felt almost giddy but slowed down enough to listen, the sounds of human heartbeats coming to him clearly. "Enough talk of virgins. Let's have someone hot and then find some privacy." Or not. It wasn't as though he'd be embarrassed by much of anything on this almost perfect day.

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

"Pick one, however you want," Alucard replied. "Whichever you want. We'll take them and feast. I'm hungry. ." For mor than just blood.

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

"Come on then." Walter released Alucard's hand and dashed off ahead of the other vampire. Around the corner, down the street, and there - a pair of teenage boys utterly unprepared for the sudden, unexpected flurry of violence that swept them both off their feet and down into a stairwell that led to a basement flat.

To hell with subtlety and he had no doubt that Alucard would be able to keep up.

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

No time for haunting laughs, this one was a childish giggle as Alucard followed. Teenage boys. How fitting. Trotting down the basement stairs, the little vampire pounced into the fray, smelling fresh blood Angel had already spilled.

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

With one boy out of his way, Walter could focus entirely on the other. There was no reticence in the way he sank sharp teeth into the boy's neck and little enough in the way of delicacy.

Human mores always caused a struggle with his more bestial side, but not tonight. Tonight he was nothing but happy with that moment when hot blood filled his mouth and his victim's gasped pleas for mercy filled his ears.

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

The smaller vampire pressed himself against Walter's back, nipping along the other man's neck as Walter drank deeply of the blood.

"It's so hot, Angel. . you're warm with it. ." And moaned, reaching around to rip claws into flesh, drawing fingers through blood like fingerpaints.

[dark-butler.livejournal.com]

He was warm, Alucard was a cool weight against his back. It was almost like old times. If you didn't count the human being that Walter held, drinking his life away in hungry gulps.

But Walter didn't care about the boy. He was faceless, nameless, irrelevent. He'd wake tomorrow and little would have changed for him.

He dropped the body to the ground and turned in Alucard's embrace. "I saved the other for you. I just knocked his head against the wall to keep him quiet."

[tinyvampiregod.livejournal.com]

"You're too sweet," Girlycard breathed, pressing his mouth against Walter's for a brief moment before parting and turning to the unconcious boy, sinking fangs into his neck.
