THUD. THUMP. CRASH.

David appeared at the bottom of the stairs, cloak twisted, ego slightly bruised.

Star (trying not to laugh): "I hope you're okay..."

Dwayne (stone-faced, but there's amusement in his eyes): "Stop falling down the stairs."

Marko (grinning like a gremlin): "How’d the ground taste, fearless leader?"

Paul (howling): "Yo, Dracula just ate it!"

David stood up slowly, brushing off his coat with all the dignity a vampire can muster after face-planting on cave stairs.

David (flatly): “If anyone tells Max, I’m rearranging your face.”

Marko (nudging Dwayne): "Too late. I’m making a mixtape of that sound."

From that night on, every time David walked down the stairs, one of them would cough dramatically or whisper “watch your step, Your Majesty.”

It had been a night. Not even a wild, epic blood-soaked vampire night. Just one of those annoying, draining nights where everything went wrong.

Marko had been stuck in traffic. On a bridge. Behind a parade. He got side-eyed by a raccoon. Someone insulted his boots. His favorite band canceled a show. And worst of all? He tore his jacket. The jacket. His soul-bound denim.

So when he stumbled into the cave just before sunrise — jacket scuffed, hair flat, eyeliner smudged like a raccoon trying to start a band — he didn’t even say a word.

He just dropped face-first onto the couch like a fallen angel who missed the landing.

Paul, ever tuned into Marko’s “I might murder or nap, it’s 50/50” energy, looked up from where he was lounging upside down on the ceiling beam.

“…Did he just collapse like a sad Victorian child?”

“He hasn’t blinked in 3 minutes,” Dwayne observed.

David didn’t say anything. He just got up and walked over.

And then it happened.

Like a slow-motion emotional support avalanche, the boys descended.

Paul was first — plopping onto the couch and planting a dramatic, obnoxiously loud kiss on Marko’s cheek.

“Smooch of rejuvenation,” he declared.

Marko groaned.

Dwayne followed, leaned down and pressed a warm, brief kiss to the top of Marko’s head. “You look like you fought a microwave and lost.”

David — ever the composed vampire king — bent down, tilted Marko’s face up by the chin, and gave him a surprisingly soft kiss on the forehead. “Sleep. Or don’t. We’ll burn the world either way.”

Marko, barely conscious, cracked one eye open. “This is… weirdly comforting.”

Then Paul kissed him again, just because. “You’re our favorite cryptid. We kiss you for luck.”

“Also to make you stop sulking like a hot emo cloud,” Dwayne added.

Cut to Michael, entering the cave carrying a pizza box:

“Uh… why are you all making out with Marko?”

David looked at him calmly and said, “He’s tired.”

“…And that warrants a group kiss pile?”

Paul tossed a cushion at Michael. “Get in here, rookie. Kiss tax. You’re in the gang now.”

You didn't ask but here's Markos glitter bomb

The Filter Bomb Incident (aka Marko’s Final Form)

Following the Needle Saga, there was a fragile truce between Marko and Paul. For about a day.

Marko was busy patching his jacket (the one Paul accidentally hit with ketchup because he thought it was “funny”) and muttering something about “creative vengeance.” Paul, meanwhile, found a box of old camera equipment and decided to become a “visual artist of vampire emotions” which apparently meant using David’s Polaroid to take unflattering photos of everyone and applying every Instagram filter in existence.

“Look,” Paul said proudly, holding up a photo of Marko looking like he’d just smelled roadkill. “I gave you the Valencia filter. That’s premium aesthetic.”

Marko stared at the photo. Then at Paul. Then back at the photo. Then walked away without a word.

“Uh-oh,” Dwayne muttered. “He’s doing the silent head tilt again. That’s the ’I’m building something’ look.”

---

Three nights later…

Paul woke up in the cave to find it smoky and smelling faintly like burnt glitter and battery acid.

“Guys?” he croaked.

And then it happened. A flashbang of rainbow exploded from above, showering Paul in—

Filters.

Yes, filters.

Glitter filters. Sepia filters. Lo-fi static filters. Every single cursed aesthetic known to mankind exploded in a powdery cloud, coating Paul in a layer of glowing pigment that made him look like a Lisa Frank fever dream.

“WHAT THE—WHY DO I LOOK LIKE A GAY VOLCANO?!” he shrieked.

Marko emerged from the shadows wearing welding goggles, holding a remote detonator, and deadpanned, “You gave me Valencia. I gave you relevance.”

David strolled in, took one look, and actually laughed. David. Laughed. The sound made the walls tremble.

Paul didn’t speak to Marko for two days. Not because he was mad. No. Because he literally couldn't open his mouth without glitter falling out like cursed vampire confetti.

---

Cut to Michael:

“Okay but seriously, Paul, how do I know if Marko’s mad at me?”

Paul, eyes still bloodshot and sparkling, replied:

“If Marko says he forgives you? Run. You’re already breathing his revenge spores. It’s too late.”

Michael: “What’s a revenge spore—”

Paul: “SHH. Don’t say that word. It activates things.”

---

Final Note:

David eventually banned glitter-based warfare in the cave. But rumor has it Marko’s still got a backup stash in a vampire-proof safe… labeled "For Emergencies Only."

And it winks at you.

“Marko’s Revenge: A Wet Towel Saga"

It all began one muggy summer night in the cave when Paul, bored and probably high on hair spray fumes, discovered a wet towel left behind by some poor, long-forgotten beachgoer.

“Marko!” he yelled, grinning with chaotic glee. “Bet I can tag you with this from across the cave.”

Marko barely had time to look up before—WHAP!—he got lashed across the back with something that felt like Poseidon's personal belt.

“PAUL WHAT THE HELL—”

“It’s called a towel duel,” Paul said, spinning the soggy weapon like a cowboy lassoing vengeance. “Winner gets bragging rights. Loser gets moist.”

Over the next 30 minutes, Paul hit Marko six times, one of them square on the forehead. The towel snapped so hard the cave echoed like thunder. David didn’t stop him. He just watched from his throne with a smirk like a Roman emperor enjoying gladiator games. Dwayne left. Smart man.

Marko took the hits in stride. Sort of. He said nothing. He just smiled that quiet, homicidal smile of his and disappeared into the shadows.

Three days later.

Paul’s brushing his bangs when—THWIP.

“YEEEOW! WHAT THE—”

“Oops,” Marko cooed, casually aiming a handmade, wrist-mounted needle launcher. “My hand slipped.”

Paul stared at the tiny dart embedded in his shoulder. “DID YOU MAKE A FUCKING BLOWGUN?!”

“Maybe. Maybe I had time. Maybe I spent three days in the shadows, sewing vengeance into every stitch. Maybe next time you’ll keep your sea rag to yourself.”

Paul squinted. “Is this about the towel?”

Marko’s smile widened.

---

Cut to Michael, later that week.

He corners Paul by the bikes and whispers, “Hey. How do you know if Marko’s mad at you?”

Paul sighs, lifts his sleeve, revealing a patchwork of tiny punctures, and says, dead serious:

“You know those zoo signs that say, ‘If the tiger is pacing, stay back’? Yeah. Marko doesn’t pace. He gets quiet. Too quiet. That’s your warning.”

Michael frowns. “But he smiled at me earlier—”

“Did he smile with teeth?”

“Yes?”

Paul grabs his shoulders. “RUN.”
