Eddie stalks closer.
He's been starving for weeks. Every night, he comes back here and makes his way through the crowd of bodies, weaving through their rhythms as they dance to the loud, loud music booming out of the club speakers.
But there's been no one.
Not one single person he could feed on, not one body that caught his hunger's attention, just making it fester and claw its way through his flesh until he has to leave before he can make a scene.
Jeff offered to help him hunt but his own damned pride doesn't want anything between his hunger and his meal, even a helping hand.
But now he's found a lonesome little thing outside the club. It leans against a streetlight, dressed in black as if to blend in with the shadows, as if it knows what it means to be one with the night.
As though it isn't sweet, sweet prey.
The streetlight flickers, once, twice, and in between those moments he's right there, hand stretched out.
"You're -"
The man - it's a man - turns around to face Eddie and oh.
"- pretty." Eddie says dumbly.
The man's pinched expression turns blank, before he ducks his head with a shy smile, looking up through lovely lashes.
Eddie blinks as those hazel eyes gaze back at him sweetly, his brain scrambling to gain any sense of gravity that was lost the moment he met those eyes.
"Thanks," the man says with a grin, one of his (scarred, veiny, pretty) hands pinching the hem of his black skirt and swishing it back and forth. "I've never worn one before but I thought it suited me, y'know?"
With an audible gulp, he nods, hand dropping pathetically between them. "Y-yeah, it does. It suits you. You're pretty."
Giggling, the man hooks a finger around the pinkie of his pathetic hand and it sends crackles of warmth through his veins, crackles that burst into his ribcage and make his heart beat again.
"You - I - uh," Eddie stammers and the man laughs again, pulling Eddie closer gently by the single point of connection they have.
"Are you always this articulate?" he teases as the streetlight flickers again and Eddie sighs when he catches a glimpse of the man in the moonlight, radiant and sweet and -
"Hi," Eddie says dreamily, tilting his head, void of thought, unable to resist the charm, the thrall of this pretty, pretty man.
The man leans back against the post, crooking up a leg so his knee grazes the skin peeking through the rips of Eddie's trousers. Eddie stares at the thick thigh now in his immediate space, fingers itching to stroke along the flesh, but then a finger gently pushes his chin upwards until his eyes catch on hazel once more. The man smiles at him and says softly, "Hey."
Eddie swallows.
The streetlight flickers for a few seconds and as he’s basked in the silvery glow of moonlight, the man whispers, “Do you want me?”
Eddie nods.
The hand under his chin ghosts over his skin, curling up behind his head to grasp his hair, and he gasps. The man pulls him closer, he smells incredible, and laughs darkly as the streetlight finally goes out.
“Then take a bite.”

do you have any scenes that got changed/cut out that you wish made it into the final cut??
Okay this is not a full scene, and also not a scene that was storyboarded by me lol, but I have to talk about this because it's been haunting me: at the beginning of episode 5 when Kenji and Darius were driving to the Halfway House, after Darius's failed attempts at playing "looks alike", instead of interrupting Darius by saying "Yeah. Where do I turn?" Kenji says something along the lines of: "on MY family trips, we sip cranberry juice in silence on our private jets NOT making small talk". This became like one of the top 3 most quoted lines during production for some reason, and my heart sank when it was eventually deleted, because it means that even after the show comes out, I can never quote it in a way that makes sense to other people......🤣 But in seriousness, I think the change made sense -- Kenji wasn't in a joking or gloating mood at that point.
Personally, I don't think I have any scenes that were completely cut/drastically changed, and I think the revisions are all for the better!
