“Shadow might not be able to picture the expression the way that Vio can, but he doesn’t need to. Frankly, he doesn’t care to. The sight before him is… Everything else falls away. The room, the heat of the lava, the coming fight, none of it matters. None of it means anything at all in comparison to Vio like that . Lounging back into a throne, legs spread in casual ease, like it was made just for him.
Shadow doesn’t think, he just moves. He moves so quickly his form flickers, and he rematerializes right before the throne.
“What do you think?” Vi asks him, smirking down.
Shadow doesn’t answer. Not in words. He just drops to his knees.
“Shadow?” Vi asks, a slight laugh to his voice”

Hob had been very annoyed with the downfall of modern sweets. The chocolate no longer had as much taste, it was just sugar. And all the best candies had been out of production for years. He mostly missed Cadbury’s Aztec bar, but that had been gone since the 70s.
He had been planning on complaining about that to his stranger during their meetup in 1989, but well. That didn’t happen.
So, he’d just gone on with daily life, no longer going out to the store everyday to get his favorite sugar bombs. The only thing that was still good was the ice cream, and every once in a while a cake or cookie. He mostly just stuck with savory foods though.
And then, his dear stranger had returned. And not only had he returned, but he had told Hob his name.
Dream.
It was so fitting that Hob had laughed when he heard it first. And then, later that night, he had murmured it over and over again, cheeks hurting from the smile he hadn’t been able to get rid of since his friend came back.
He hadn’t had the chance to tell Dream everything he’d wanted to that day, but to his surprise and delight, Dream had showed up not a week later right outside his classroom door. He’d almost given the student who opened it a heart attack.
They had walked through the park together, talking amiably. Or, Hob had talked, and Dream had listened attentively, smiling from time to time and adding a thing or two here and there.
It was during this friendly conversation that Hob had remembered how awful modern day sweets were. They had just been passing a shop, and a pair of kids had walked out of it, one holding a chocolate bar and breaking a piece off for their friend.
Hob had looked at them for a second, then remembered.
“Oh yeah, and did you know just how bad all the sweet stuff has gotten?”
He’d gone on like this for around a minute before-
“I really miss Aztec though. That was some really good stuff. Too bad they discontinued it in the 70s, dammit.”
Dream had looked up at him then, brow furrowed and eyes twinkling. He’d left shortly afterwards, to Hob’s immense disappointment. Though he had promised to come back before next century.
For two weeks after that, everything was quiet. No sign of Dream, just regular old brilliant life. Although it would be a fair lot more brilliant with a certain gorgeous pale goth in it.
Now, Hob sat by the window in the New Inn, checking the assignments his students had handed back to him earlier that week. It was around 9pm, only just getting dark. (Thank god for summer, shortens the electricity bill)
Suddenly, a cat meowed just outside the window. Hob jumped a bit, then looked over.
It was beautiful black tom, with silky fur and eyes like the cosmos. Those eyes were very familiar…
With a grin and a sneaking suspicion, Hob got up and moved to the door to let the thing in. It meowed up at him and rubbed against his legs as it entered.
He went back to his spot and sat back down. The cat hopped up on the chair opposite him. For a while, Hob just continued checking the essays, not paying the cat any mind. If his suspicion was correct, that was the best way to prove it, he though.
And he thought correctly.
Twenty minutes in, a slight breeze flowed through the inn.
Another minute later, a quiet cough sounded across from Hob.
Hob grinned and liften his gaze to meet Dream’s.
“Dream! How lovely to see you.”
He teased his friend, amused at how his brow creased with slight annoyance. He knew Dream wouldn’t run off from some casual banter, so he could afford this little thing every now and then.
“What brings you here, my friend?”
Dream blinked silently. Then, he reached into a coat pocket and pulled something out.
“Close your eyes, Hob.”
Hob did.
“Give me your hand.”
And Hob did. He was confused, but interested and eager at the prospect of touching this ethereal creature.
He realized he had never done so before.
Dream’s skin was softer than any silk Hob had ever known, though it emanated no warmth.
Maybe Hob could rub some into it some day.
Hopefully that day would come soon.
A small, plastic package settled in his hand, and cold fingers closed his own around it.
When Hob opened his eyes, he was alone at the table again, holding a candy bar. He blinked a few times, perturbed.
Then, he looked down at the bar and his breath hitched.
It was an Aztec.
It was a damn Aztec.
A laugh escaped him, incredulous and delighted. He pocketed the sweet, determined to get Dream to try it with him later.
And also maybe kiss him senseless as thanks.

Headcanons for Vampire bois
David is a wine mom, period. He already smokes like a fucking chimney, so why not down some good ole wine with Barbara at a weekly book club?
Paul would definitely eat a marble if someone dared him to, as a matter of fact I think he’d eat one just because he’s curious of the taste.
Marko as at least once had tried to brush out his curls and got the brush stuck. With hair like that there’s no way at least one comb or brush hasn’t gotten stuck in there.
Dwayne just zones out, he just completely slips out of reality, he won’t even be high when he does it. He’ll just gaze off until someone (Wine mom David) pats him on the shoulder to bring him back.
David was definitely like that video of Cardi B smoking three cigarettes when he met Michael, man was probably stressed as heck.
They all equally hate Max, not only because he’s an ass with the whole family thing, but because he makes the same dad jokes that they’ve heard for centuries.
Paul definitely chews on stuff, not furniture, but just things that he’s holding, like a wooden popsicle stick, or a pencil. (Definitely snapped one by doing so.)
Dwayne will definitely draw things with Laddie, drawing the amusement park, maybe even Laddie will draw a family portrait or a picture of Dwayne’s bike.
Marko will just climb shit. He’ll just look at a wooden pole and just decides to climb it. (On a few occasions he has fallen from said climbing spot.)
At least one of the boys drinks bourbon, I’m leaning towards Dwayne but David could drink it too. Not sure who drinks it, but at least one of them does.
Also I’m pretty sure this image sums up the Lost Boys.
