It Was Too Early For Him To Be Awake. It Didn't Matter What Time Of Day It Was. Morning. Mid Day. Afternoon.

it was too early for him to be awake. it didn't matter what time of day it was. morning. mid day. afternoon. the fact that it was day at all proved that it was far too early for him. insert typical vampire grumblings about sunlight here.

wearing thick black jeans, dark leather steel-toed boots, a black undershirt, a long sleeved black denim over shirt, black leather gloves, and dark tinted sunglasses, elgin looked as if he was dressed for winter or, at the least, fall; not june. the large black umbrella made with a thicker material that he was carrying opened overhead didn't help either.

he wouldn't have to dress like a modern gothic if he could just find one of those witches he'd heard rumors of in new haven that could make him one of those damned daylight rings.

"hmm?" he hummed as a complete handsome stranger stopped him to ask him a question. maybe there were some benefits to being up this early.

"a bit much? i wouldn't know the meaning of that." he deadpanned as he glanced down at what he was wearing. "you, on the other hand, look good. you fill out the jacket well; reminds me of the men back home my family would employ to handle daytime business... though, with a face like yours, you could have worked nights for us too."

This new world took a lot more getting used to than the one he had left behind, let along the secluded cloister of dragonbloods he had grown up in. So much noise- so many things to see. It was a bit overwhelming at times. At the very least he liked the clothes, they were much more comfortable.

"So how do I look? Be honest. I think the jacket might be a bit much but I was told it 'completed the look' whatever that means."

an hour, maybe two. they barely knew each other and things were leading towards intimacy; and elgin was largely to blame for that. he was impulsive, after all; but this was hardly the quickest he'd fallen into bed with someone. it was barely a matter of seconds after anders had removed his jacket, and his tshirt, that the vampires hand found it's way back to his chest again; for the third time now. this time was different. he could have sworn he heard a soft, quiet hiss in the air as he pressed his chilled, paled hand against the dragonbloods heated, flushed chest. fire and ice. how poetic. how cliche.

"you're worried this might ruin a potential friendship between us?" he questioned with a lick of his lips as he let the fingers hooked beneath his chin tilt his head back a bit. "you're sweet too. why do i get the feeling your going to be a heartbreaker without even trying," he teased, his voice softened into a bit of a whisper as he looked up at the taller man; both hands now pressing flat against anders chest for a moment before he slowly started to slide them up until his arms were looped around the taller's neck. "i have a tendency to self sabotage, but you're fine anderson. anders. we can still be friends."

what is allowed. smiling at the innocence and sincerity of the question, elgin lifted himself up onto his toes and placed a soft kiss against anders cheek. "the only rule is you still have to show me your clothes after," he mused. "just enjoy yourself; act on impulse; desire. consider it just another part way of getting to know each other." he smirked again as his lips dragged against anders cheek until they were hovering over the dragonbloods own. "anything is allowed." elgin whispered before closing in and stealing a playful kiss.

The dragon blood watched Elgin undress, eyes flicking over the man with each movement. Glad the other was more comfortable now but also- glad he was perhaps less covered. Anders didn't know how to respond to the vampire being so quick to assert that he would in fact like a simple fuck without the effort of courting one another. Elgin putting a hand on his chest like that again, feeling his heated skin beneath the fabric, carefully he pulled off his own jacket, and t-shirt, setting them to the side as he closes in on the vampire in return.

"You are welcome to find out if you can stand the heat while beneath me if you want. Though I would not want this to sabatoge any continued friendship between us." Anders tipped two fingers under Elgin's chin, he was taller but between the two of the he was certainly the one less sure of himself in this situation. Here in the future what did this mean? "What are the rules of engagement here Elgin? What is allowed?" he breathed unsure of what he could and couldn't do, his warm hands already working their way over the vampire's chest and down his sides to hold onto his hips.

His haul of clothing forgotten in the heat of the moment between them.

this was the second time elgin had allowed himself to go out during the day. while it was nearing sunset, he was still annoyed with himself and his lack of one of those fabled rings-- but unfortunately he needed to be out at these hours to get a feel for the town and all it had to offer, like the university, if he was ever going to convince his younger brother to come live with him.

so far, in his self guided tour, the town had proven to be nothing more than quaint and picturesque. people seemed nervous so it was clear to him there was some history here, something he was missing, but for lack of a better word everything so far had bored him. that was until now.

licking his lips with a smirk as he stepped into the professor's office, the vampire watched with obvious amusement as the flustered stranger tried to adjust themselves and be presentable again.

"well if that's how you behave after office hours remind me to never come on time." he mused. "i didn't mean to interrupt, by the way, i was just hoping you could help me out and answer a few questions for me about the university since you seem to be the only one around at the moment... but i almost feel like i should be offering you my help instead. a bit worked up, are we?"

Open Starter for @newhavenrp || location: Eugene's office

Eugene huffed as he sat back in his chair. Having just finished seeing his last student for his office hours, the wererabbit was exhausted to say the least. Leaning back against the hard leather chair, Eugene rests his eyes for a second as he heard his office door close for hopefully the last time. It was a tough stretch of months for the wererabbit, tough couple of months for the town too. He had thought the town would finally be a safe place for weres like him to stay in.

In a way, Eugene had taken the safety and all too comforting feeling of isolation for granted. All those early days of sleeping around from man to man. No fears of pissing off the wrong person in town. Not having to wake up early before his playmate's boyfriend or husband arrived home. That last one Eugene might find himself still doing on occasion. Point being, there were things he missed in the before. There were things his body had missed doing before as well.

The wererabbit breathes slowly as he starts to slip his hands down into his own pants. Chapped lips were bit in excitement as the professor's hand grazed against his own mound before he hears the sound of his office door opening. Eyes widen and a hand nearly shots itself across the corner of the room as Eugene bolts himself up to sit straight on his chair.

"Fucking A-! O-Office hours are over!" He scrambles to sit himself right on his chair and attempts to make eye contact with whomever entered the office.

"thank you." letting out a breath as anders flitted around the room to close the curtains and blinds, the vampire leaned against the wall for a moment; already more comfortable. leaving his umbrella to rest in a corner, he took off his gloves and stuffed them into the pocket of his over shirt before unfastening the buttons and peeling it from his frame to drape it over the back of a chair; lastly he removed his sunglasses, folding them and letting them hang from the collar of his undershirt as he turned back to the dragonblood.

"i wouldn't go so far to say i was courting you, things are much less formal in todays age; and i appreciate that you already seem to think so highly of me, but i wouldn't be offended by a quick rut. i'd enjoy it even," he teased with a soft laugh under his breath and a toothy grin. "i am curious, after all. are you that hot all over?" he mused as he moved across the room, his right hand finding it's way back to rest against anders chest. "i wonder how long i'd last pinned beneath you, smothered by you and your heat." he was being forward on purpose. it wasn't every day he had men that looked like anders blushing like that so he was having his fun. though he was genuinely curious. "i think you're doing fine already."

dropping his hand back to his side, he took a step back and looked around the room again. "you need art or, well, something on the walls but we can worry about that later. but yes, please," he answered with a loose nod. "show me the rest of your clothes."

"Oh oh my bad. Let me get them." Anders moved to close all of the curtains and made sure there was no more sunlight pouring in from outside as he looked around. He turned on some lamps he had gotten filling the room with warm artificial light instead. Hopefully that would make Elgin more comfortable in his home. Anders looks around, there was a chair, a couch, some tables and lamps. Basic. He had no art on the walls, nothing in the way of decorations yet. It made him miss his old room, in his friend's home. It wasn't as large or opulent as an apartment, but the stone walls and wooden cot had been home and his own.

"A prude? OH! You are intending to court me. Well we can but I would like for a bit more artisty and effort on my part. You are worth far more than me simply bringing you to my den and a rut." Anders was mortified the other thought this was how he went about showing his interest in others, he was positively a terrible host if that were the case. "I would do far better. I will next time." he said his cheeks a bit red, he fought the rising heat, breathing out to keep himself calm and his temperature cool.

"Would you like to see my clothes still?" he asked a bit eager to show off his new things, a neatly folded pile of shirts, pants, and shoes, his beloved leather jacket still on him but that seemed to be the only outer wear he had.

open to: everyone location: pantheon bar @newhavenstarters

relaxed, always at ease at night, the vampire made his way through the crowded bar with an almost reckless amount of confidence. he felt the most at home in places like this; late into the night, surrounded by people drinking away their reservations and, instead, embracing bad decisions like letting a complete stranger drink from them-- and elgin was thirsty but, for now, he was more than content to settle for a drink at the bar.

the bar, however, didn't seem content in serving him. standing amongst the other's gathered, watching them all get their drinks while he was constantly looked over, the vampire begin to get a bit annoyed; a bit desperate. he actually missed being back home, in the city, where people would throw themselves at his feet simply because they feared his family. he came here to get away from that, to get away from his family; he wanted anonimity for so long he didn't consider the downsides to it. be careful what you wish for.

"i recognize that i'm a new face around here and people are wary," he grumbled and turned to face the stranger beside him. "but this is ridiculous. what do i have to do to get a pour of bourbon, neat, around here? suck somebody off?" because he would, he's done worse for good bourbon.
