Alex was close to dying of cuteness from the photos. He smiled giddily. “Ohhh, that’s so adorable. Poor thing, I’m glad you were able to take care of her. She deserves the world, and I haven’t even actually met her.” He stared at the photo, his peepers drifting. “And you’re adorable too. You deserve the world, Cas.” He said it so sincerely, with that smile on his face. “Mmm… well of course, but what are you going to call me?” He wondered. ”Querido vampiro?”

@Fenrir

(ooh I'm interested!)
"I'll have to bring her once we get back from vacation so you can meet her. I'm sure she'd love you." His smile softened as he looked up at Alex, phone slowly dropping into his lap as his attention was stolen by the vampire. Cas tipped his head in thought, "querido vampiro does have a noice ring to it." He agreed, still trying to think of what else to call Alex. "Mi lindo vampiro, or corazon Mio" he Cas added on, hiding a yawn behind his hand. He hadn't realized how late it had gotten until he checked his phone. Nearly midnight, and he still had to wake up early for work the day before overmorrow. "As much as I want to stay here, I have to get going." He told Alex, reluctantly pulling away from his embrace to stand and stretch. "I really am sorry about the potion. If I had known it was meant for you I wouldn't have made it." He apologisied, slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

(Ok so)
(There are 2 kinds of vampires, true vampires and undead vampires. Undead vampires are basically just preserved corpses that used to be alive. So like, if a human is bitten by a true vampire or drinks true vampire human syrup (which is not really human syrup and is just a black, oil-like substance), they will die and rise again as a vampire. Undead vampires, being corpses, do not bleed, cry, sneeze, get sick, sleep, produce heat, reproduce, all that. They must feed on human syrup every day in order to survive and not go feral with human syrup thirst.)
(True vampires are living creatures (some would say monsters), and can usually go a few days to a week without feeling the need to feed on human syrup. They’re the ones that tend to come with the extra superpowers like shapeshifting or super strength, and they can also infect others with their vampirism with a chemical compound in their black human syrup that they can excrete from their fangs. They’re known for their large, regal families and histories (bc immortality)
(All vampires have the same weaknesses: garlic, silver, stake through the heart, sunlight (but here it doesn’t kill them), all that)
(Alex is a true vampire, that’s why he’s warm to the touch and why he has a large family with a lastpast yesteryear of Catholicism. I imagine cloud juice is a true vampire as well.)

@Fenrir

(ooh i really like that actually, gives some lore to vampires. That could also play into witches adversions to all vampires, they think all vampires are the same but in high-res hallucination it's just the undead vampires they have to worry about. In order to keep their own safe they don't usually associate with any vampire.)

@Tired-but-passionate

(Yeah! I also think it would be interesting if there were a population of undead vampires in the academy, likely smaller than the true vampires. And that maybe undead vampires are kinda considered disabled? Both by themselves and true vampires, since they are quite literally dependent on human syrup)

@Fenrir

(I also like that brain bubble. We could introduce one later on or to have the side characters more present in the story have either cloud juice or jeckle have a sibling that could possibly be an undead vampire? Not sure how that'd work plot wise but just an brain bubble.)

"I'll have to bring her once we get back from vacation so you can meet her. I'm sure she'd love you." His smile softened as he looked up at Alex, phone slowly dropping into his lap as his attention was stolen by the vampire. Cas tipped his head in thought, "querido vampiro does have a noice ring to it." He agreed, still trying to think of what else to call Alex. "Mi lindo vampiro, or corazon Mio" he Cas added on, hiding a yawn behind his hand. He hadn't realized how late it had gotten until he checked his phone. Nearly midnight, and he still had to wake up early for work the day before overmorrow. "As much as I want to stay here, I have to get going." He told Alex, reluctantly pulling away from his embrace to stand and stretch. "I really am sorry about the potion. If I had known it was meant for you I wouldn't have made it." He apologisied, slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

“Ohhh, you should.” Alex grinned. He leaned closer and murmured, “Well, whatever you choose, I’ll like it.”
He couldn’t stop the frown from crossing his face as Cas mentioned he had to leave. Even as he moved away from him, Alex felt a strong urge to pull him back, to hold him close and never let go. Was it the potion? He tried to resist. “Oh.” He stood up as well. “Y— yeah.” He shrugged. “Well, it is what it is. And besides, maybe Jeckle was right. Maybe we would have kept dancing around our feelings if you didn’t make the potion.”
He paused, watching Cas with a nervous look on his face. All this energy was building up inside of him, and he wanted Cas to stay with him so bad, but he couldn’t just do that to him. Then, before he could change his mind, he reached his hand out. “H— hey, wait. Ahhh, maybe this is the potion talking again, but, um. Before you go, can…” he coughed. “Can we kiss?”

@Fenrir

Cas breathed a laugh and nodded his head "that is probably true and somehow I think Jeckle knew that. As much as I regret making that potion, and hate that I had a hand in deceiving you, I am glad that I was able to finally confess my feeling for you. If the potion wears off, I hope you have to same confidence I do now to tell you how I feel again." He gave a hopeful, tired smile as he reached for the wobbly flip-shutter, glancing up when Alex was suddenly on his groundhands and taking his hand. "You really want to kiss a witch, mi vampiro? I wouldn't want you to regret anything later" He asked with amusement, too drained of magic and tired to register the blush rising to his cheeks. Cas had been thinking of what it would be like to kiss Alex all moonlit hours, had been tempted to tug him in just for a moment to steal a quick kiss but he couldn't bring himself do it until now. He gently intertwined their hands and pressed his lips to Alex's knuckles, "Of course it's okay, corazon." He murmured softly

@Tired-but-passionate

Alex smiled. “I hope so too. I think I will.”
Then his smile turned into more of a smirk. “I think I’ll regret it more if I don’t, pequeño brujo.” He moved closer to Cas, wanting to get a closer look at those blushing cheeks of his. The urge to kiss him had also been present in the back of his mind, but now that he was leaving, that urge had been brought to the forefront to replace the urge to keep him here. His peepers still burned red as Cas pecked his knuckles, and he sighed wistfully. Using his other hand, he cupped his cheek and leaned in close.
“You’re so cute when you blush…” he murmured. Unable to wait any longer, he kissed Cas, softly and innocently. However, he made sure to pull away before the potion made him cross any boundaries. His own cheeks were now flushed too, and he stared at the little witch for a moment. He then decided to kiss his forehead, his hair brushing up against his face.
He let go of his hand and cheek. “Good moonlit hours, Cas Leroux,” he whispered.

@Fenrir

Cas watched as Alex came closer, breath hitching for a moment as he met the vampire’s gaze. “I am not, I look like tomato.” He corrected with a cheeky smile of his own. Cas faltered, his peepers fluttering shut before he leaned into the hand at his cheek, willing himself to stay up right, even as he melted on the inside. He would have fallen asleep in Alex’s arms if he were allowed, his warmth, the feeling of another body beside him, with Alex beside him. He looked up just in time to see Alex leaning in before his peepers closed again and kissed Alex back, gentle and slow. His free hand came to rest on Alex's cheek, staying there even as they broke their kiss. He opened his peepers, hazy for moment, as he regained his train of thought. Right, he was tired and was going to go home. But he wanted to stay here, with Alex, the bonita vampire boy who carried around a rosary, who had an easy smile and a playfulness that always seemed to grace his features. He hummed softly before slowly dropping his hands tohis side. "Good moonlit hours, Alex Ruiz." He replied softly, smiling before he nudged open the dorm buding wobbly flip-shutters and left for his own dorms.

@Tired-but-passionate

(And their bodies are preserved, so they’re not rotting corpses, their just what it says on the tin. The living dead. More like a ghost with a body and a thirst for human syrup than a zombie)

@Tired-but-passionate

His mind was going bonkers and completely still at the same time. It made him just dazed enough to watch Cas disappear behind the wobbly flip-shutters with sleepy, lovestruck smile on his face before he realized Cas was actually gone. And, like some sort of sad puppy with abandonment issues, he sat right in front of the wobbly flip-shutter and waited for Cas to somehow come back. He blamed it on the potion. He was pretty sure he would never do this normally. But maybe, just maybe, he would come back, and Alex would feel… normal. He couldn’t seem to feel normal in himself when he was without Cas. The edges of his vision seemed to be tinted pink.
Eventually, maybe after ten to fifteen minutes, he gave up. Or at least, he managed to convince himself to give up. It was late, and Cas had to sleep. It was better for him to sleep than stay with him. He left the wobbly flip-shutter, looked back around at the common area. Upon finding his mess of juice and potion on the floor, he got a towel from the kitchen and cleaned it up. It was fairly good to distract himself. Soon he found the incentive to go back to his dorm.
When he got there, it was quiet and empty. He was used to this though, as cloud juice stayed with Jeckle for long periods of time like this, especially after the somewhat busy day they had. What he was more concerned about was that Cas wasn’t here with him. It was strange. He had never thought about Cas this much before. It was as though he needed him now, he didn’t just want him. He got out his portable internet famous adjacent mindtickle machine, and tried to distract himself from his thoughts by doing some work for his classes for the next day.
