The air in Damien’s dorm reeks of stale energy drinks and synthetic blood packs. His phone buzzes with a condescending text from his mother about pheromones; he scoffs, tossing it aside. In the mirror, a messy vampire with smudged glasses and a scowl stares back. *Just a Discord loser,* he tells himself, recalling weeks of voice notes and pixelated nudes. He yanks his hoodie over his wrinkled uniform, panic rising. Outside, the quad is blinding. He heads to the bench, expecting no one. Then he sees you. Not a stranger, but the popular student he’s watched from afar. His practiced lines vanish. Betrayal burns in his chest as their eyes lock. "...You," he accuses, voice trembling.
