Chapter 170: 20
"What the fuck is this comic?"
Jia Hyson who was about to shove a handful of chips into his mouth paused and twisted his neck to the side where Mr Garth was sitting. "It's a commentary about how one should not judge a book by it's cover, and to question everything, which was inspired from the ideas of self-awareness and the psychological changes of society today as we enter the age of the internet which have produced an increasing number of problems in faking one's identity."
Mr Garth rolls his eyes. "Damn Alaric, save it for a teacher."
Now it was Jia Hyson's turn to roll his eyes, "Damn Mr Garth, but you're the teacher."
Mr Garth: Oh. Right. I am a teacher.
Seeing the older vampire's stupid face of realization Jia Hyson laughed and continued his previous action of shoving his handful of chips into his mouth. The salty crunch of chips in his opinion was much better when they completely filled your mouth. The only problem was it wasn't a flattering image at all.
The rather shameless Mr Garth does not bother to act sheepish and instead levitates some tissue paper and lightly wipes Jia Hyson's face with a sigh. "You're going to get chips on my couch."
"Your couch has had worse on it though." Jia Hyson who had finished chewing and swallowing stuck his tongue out playfully, "Besides, I've seen how you've clean. As long as it's not stains, you can do whatever anyway."
It was true. With Mr Garth's level of power he could slightly sweep off all the dust and crumbs off surfaces easily. After all with some concentration he could mentally manipulate, to some degree, 'feel' the surrounding air of objects and with this perception accurately capture the lightest debris and litter to lift up and throw away.
Even though one could argue that telekinesis was a fairly basic power, it was because of it that Mr Garth had a vast supply of references and ideas for his ability. Therefore his comprehension and flexible use of his own power was one of the best in the coven. That coupled with his straightforward strength, really did earn him a well-deserved reputation as a powerhouse. Unfortunately the crippling migraines, short temper as a result of the headaches and some other limitations made it hard to rank him very high compared to some others.
"Just because I can doesn't mean I want to, damn," Mr Garth reached out and pinches the younger vampire's cheeks making him shriek a little in surprise and pain. "You're such a little brat, what happened to the refined and put together Alaric huh?"
"Wu- it's because you're always making a mess of me that there's no point in being put together ah." Even through the sharp pain of his cheek being pinched, Jia Hyson still couldn't stop his mouth from quipping back.
Mr Garth lets go and tilts the other's chin up for a rough kiss before breaking away and lightly hitting the other's head with the comic his group had made. "Mouthy." He complains but the affection couldn't be hidden.
Jia Hyson rubs his abused cheek and smiles, his blue eyes shining, "Could say the same to you too, really."
"You're right," Mr Garth nods easily then smiles lewdly, "As two mouthy individuals, I feel like we're obligated to do something about this."
"Oh?" Jia Hyson feigns ignorance as he leans closer to his teacher.
"Yeah, like, giving something for our mouthy mouths to do." Mr Garth kisses him gently on the mouth.
Jia Hyson chuckles, "You sound like a perverted old man, but a cute one."
Mr Garth gives another peck, a little addicted at the salty taste of the others lips. "I do my best," He replies humbly before cheerfully showering the other with many small kisses reminding Jia Hyson a little of a hungry chicken pecking on rice.
"You do," Jia Hyson chuckles and, like a sly snake, waits for the older man to kiss him somewhere close to his lips before he tilts his head, catching the kiss and deepening it aggressively making the other who was just being playful, moan at the sudden increase in intensity.
Using this momentum, Jia Hyson pushes the other down onto the couch and finally separates their locked lips in order to nip and nibble at the older man's neck and sensitive earlobes, making him shudder and weakly protest. "H-hey, we have to get back to grading remember?"
Jia Hyson gives the other a strange look, "What do you mean, we?"
Mr Garth: Right, he was the teacher.
Usually Mr Garth would not mind shoving off work for more sex, but for one, he was really late in sending back the grades, and two, and possibly most importantly He sensed his position as the top in this relationship was in danger.
Looking at Alaric, the petite and beautiful boy, and recalling the last few times the other had pushed him down and turned him into a gasping mess Mr Garth flushes nervously. It wasn't like he didn't understand. Even if the other looks like how he did, and preferred to wear feminine clothing, Alaric was still a young man who was also interested in taking the men's role during sex.
And, given how good the other was with everything else, Mr Garth was sure it wouldn't feel too bad ( > x < ) < p>
But he still couldn't mentally prepare! After all, he was a big hairy man! Could he really let himself get fucked by his pretty effeminate student?? More importantly, he wasn't cute at all. Mr Garth didn't want to admit it, but he worried Alaric, with his minimum experience and penchant for beautiful things, would find himself too unattractive in that sense.
Unaware of Mr Garth's thoughts but knowing he didn't want to progress in this manner, the younger vampire moves off the muscular body reluctantly and lets the other sit up.
Seeing the erection bulging through the other's pants though he smiles provocatively as a fun little idea pops into his mind. " Well, I suppose, if you're really insistent on working hard, I can reluctantly make a compromise in order to support your work ethic."
Mr Garth raises an eyebrow, calming his breathing already. Immediately he regains his cocky confidence. "Oh? What did you have in mind brat?"
It wasn't because he was arrogant that he could chains tunes so fast. It was just that during their time together he had found that Alaric and himself had a good tacit understanding, especially in bedroom matters. If he gives an excuse, the younger vampire would usually not push him further. While it felt a bit shameful to have someone a few hundred years his junior act so considerately toward him, Mr Garth was grateful nonetheless and felt a little guilty.
He even regretted a little not letting the other try go a little further. Mr Garth inwardly sighs as he watches Alaric kiss his cheek before slinking down to the floor and sat between his knees in an obvious show of what he was about to do.
"You read and do your work," Alaric smugly and assertively orders as he presses his cheek against his teacher's inner thigh while his hands unzip the other's pants. "I'll do the rest."
Mr Garth swallows. "Sounds good."
Ah, he was really stunning, and they were so compatible. Maybe it's because of their similar tastes and the fact that he personally could not imagine doing something to a man like himself. But then again, if that was the case with Alaric, he wouldn't sleep with him in the first place.
Mr Garth's breathing begins to pick up as Alaric fishes out the half hardened cock from his pants and starts to lewdly lick the the shaft from the base to the top, sucking the head and gazing up at him with his sultry blue eyes.
Understanding the provocative look in his partner's eyes, he extends his arm and combs his finger's through the other's silky black hair and cups the curve of his head. Like this, he slowly pushes the other's head toward him, making the other slowly swallow down his thick and erect dick down his throat.
The feeling of the tight warm throat swallowing around him was the best. Mr Garth didn't understand at all, how the other was so naturally talented at this.
Whenever he moved too fast, the younger vampire would lightly pinch him in warning, controlling the pace. Even when Mr Garth was demanding there was always a sense that he could only be so arrogant because the young vampire let him be, giving him a sense of crisis.
Alaric was charismatic now that he had gained a sense of maturity. He had a strong power, good intelligence, even better emotional intelligence, a sense of responsibility, young, beautiful, and was also very sexually skilled. To be honest, Mr Garth on some level knew all this but when he watched the livestream starring Alaric, he had been aroused but more than that he had been distressed and jealous as he saw the sheer number of fans watching as well.
Secretly, when he saw all the praises and love, and how Alaric clearly ate it all up, he felt a deep unease like he will be thrown away the moment the other became bored.
His little lover was so good. Wouldn't he get tired of him? When he was young he was fickle and full of sexual exploration. Alaric who had so much enthusiasm toward sex was probably similar to him and will soon realise that there was no fun in clinging to one person all the time.
Mr Garth, didn't want that. And he also didn't want to restrain and tie the other down when he was so young. What he wanted was for Alaric to want to be with him. Not because he didn't know anyone else and didn't know anything better, but because he had seen the world and came back to him.
It's just the lack of any guarantee Alaric would ever come back now truly scared him.
But he was also more scared about Alaric hating and tiring of him more.
While he wanted to be a mature vampire about this, he felt more like a very large child insisting on lying so hard that he could even lie to himself.
Though he insists on the surface to Alaric that they were sex friends on trial to be lovers, Mr Garth had long started thinking up ways to pamper the other so Alaric will never be truly satisfied with anyone else.
"Nmh- hey, what's wrong?" Jia Hyson could feel the other's mind slipping away. Despite the hard cock that had been in his mouth saying otherwise, he could tell from the vampire's other actions that he suddenly became less enthusiastic and more absentminded.
Sweetly he rests his cheek against the other's inner thigh again and looks up at his teacher, however the affectionate image was slightly ruined by the fact the other was still idly stroking the thick, and girthy erection with his hand. The implication that the other still expected sex after having a small talk about feelings was really perfect ah.
Jia Hyson: 'Oh, he's excited again.'
Bebe: 'How did you know? He didn't change his expression at all.'
Jia Hyson: 'He twitched.'
Bebe: 'Bebe was watching, no he didn't.'
Jia Hyson: 'Oh trust me. (, w ,,) He twitched.'
Unfortunately her good deed could only do so much. Lilith was far more powerful than her and hence unless a vampire was born between two purebloods there was a chance of producing one of the original vampiric monsters. When a pureblood infects a human the human will become half pure and half monster, less controllable, weaker, no special abilities and so on.
The less pure the bloodline the higher chance of producing monsters, and over time it has become a serious problem thanks to modern media promoting free love and romanticizing vampires, planting a sense of rebellion in the newly formed vampires that weren't allowed to have children.
Jia Hyson felt that to some extent it was understandable but generally it was pretty fucking selfish of people already granted with immortality, power and long lasting beauty to still demand to be allowed to conceive given the context. A vampiric monster didn't have any special abilities but they had explosive strength and the vicious brutality of a berserker. Coupled with an insatiable appetite and no sense of empathy, isn't it better to just adopt or something?
However not everyone shares this mindset clearly. New vampires don't understand the traditions and have not grown up with their stories. To them they believe this is just an old wives tale made by snooty purebloods to encourage their offspring to not be diluted by humans like the Purebloods in a certain famous wizard story.
Besides, while many haven't seen a vampiric monster, they have heard about the benefits of producing offspring. After all, if a new vampire is be lucky enough not to make a monster and produce a pureblooded child their status in life will soar to the heavens.
The very few that succeeded in this endeavor were valued by the purebloods and this scene is what many envious new vampires saw. They didn't see or they didn't care to see the numerous aborted children or the mental anguish of the parents forced to let their own child die because it had been a vampiric monster. Sometimes they'll be news about how two new vampires who had died due to their child killing them, but there were many new vampires who chose not to believe the news or cry conspiracy.
New vampires were also disgusted by the purebloods ideology of keeping the bloodline pure. However the problem of inbreeding was the genetic abnormalities in offspring. Vampires seemed to have no such problems and every pureblood was at minimum above average in attractiveness with decent IQ. At most there were a few vampires who were born with a disability such as blindness, or being unable to move their legs but even non-inbred humans will also have this possibility.
That didn't mean everyone was marrying their sisters and brothers here. Vampires had covens spread across the world and lived for thousands of years. Meaning they had options and the ability to wait for someone to interest them.
Generally the covens will advocate foreign exchange in order to not only promote good feelings between the covens but also to encourage some vampires to marry outside and keep their gene pool fresh. After all, while the elders didn't believe it, vampires were intelligent and more or less decided to do so just in case they were wrong and the effects of their 'inbreeding' just took a longer time to take effect.
To them, even their pride cannot match against the possibility of their race being harmed due to their arrogance. It could be said that the species was actually very pragmatic and utilitarian. The overall benefits were the most important thing and their long lives generally gave them very conservative views in terms of being better safe than sorry, such as their attitude toward childbirth and vampiric monsters.
In the plot, Jessica Fang will reform some of these views somewhat by giving birth to a vampiric monster who, against all odds, keeps a sense of humanity and love thanks to Jessica's unswerving motherly love. However while there's definitely a very poignant if obvious moral there, it's clear to a lot of readers that Jessica's situation was more an exception to this rule. After all she had a vampiric prince of a husband and various handsome and intelligent supporting male leads with high statuses to help her cause.
Even then, the baby did kill her family dog and attack some robbers in this plot. Sure they were bad people who planned to rob their home and killed the babysitter, but damn, this didn't mean it wasn't a little unnerving that an infant straight up massacred a group of adult criminals. Also who the fuck leaves a normal human babysitter to watch over a vampire baby?
Bebe: 'That was Jessica's niece. Bebe doesn't blame you, it was only mentioned twice in the beginning of the chapter and they don't really bring her up again.'
Jia Hyson: '' Lighting a candle for that poor cannonfodder.
If anyone needed a counterattack host it was Jessica's niece, damn. The baby just watched her die, and only attacked when the criminals focused on itself. And to top it off, the baby fucking drank the babysitter niece's blood at the end because the blood of the men weren't as good as a young girl's.
The author clearly wrote this to emphasize how hard it was to care for a vampiric baby and that the baby didn't attack unless it felt threatened but the way they wrote it was truly an interesting artistic choice.
Which was a very nice way of saying the author is mentally impaired to write this and expect people to still feel that vampiric babies are okay.
Seriously, if they added some details like the babysitter niece wasn't very good or the dog was quite vicious, the baby's attack, while still gruesome and unnerving, is still palatable to the readers. However it's adamantly clear that innocent lives were spilled, and ignoring the bystander babysitter, no one likes to see a cute dog die ah. Especially one that had a decent amount of screen-time in the past.
However this problem was something for the future. Right now Jessica Fang was still barely a tween and will only grow up and transfer to St Lailah's in roughly four to five years time when Alaric and Kylan were in their last year of high school there. It would be roughly five or six years after that till the pregnancy storyline starts up. And even then Jia Hyson had to admit he felt that was still a little too early for Jessica.
Like damn, call him a conservative in this regard but it's only a year or two out of highschool and you've gone and married someone, and gotten pregnant.
Like fuck, you have your whole life to live. It doesn't matter how in love you are, marriage ain't just a piece of paper okay? And fucking use protection unless you've seriously discussed with your partner about having kids. Sure there's going to be accidents but come on, this is a world with magic vampires who occasionally produce murder babies, you would think there was some sort of potion for this sort of thing that, at the very least, the prince of vampires could access.
Ah, well, there is no need to dwell and get angry with the semantics and logical problems in the plot now. Jia Hyson had to move in to the dormitories and get everyone settled in before their high school life could start.
Not only did he have to move in himself, he had been appointed by the elders to help the other vampires of similar age who enters the school for the first time to try adapt and get comfortable. There were many elders who secretly met with Alaric and offered various benefits if he pays attention to their little bear child's more than others.
Jia Hyson: What am I? A daycare service???
Maybe the previous Alaric was too uptight and unlikeable so he had never got offered to do this but Jia Hyson who had tweaked the personality and smoothed out the edges had become the best 'other child*' in the eyes of others.
*This. If you ever had parents you would know this meaning QwQ the 'other child' is the kid your parents will compare you to. E.g. your cousin got full marks in math, Mrs Wang's child practices piano diligently everyday, my friend's daughter can do this why can't you?
Not only does this other child have good grades but he wasn't chuuni, had a stern but gentle temperament that had a mouth that could please elders, but was straightforward enough everything came out sounding honest. Not only that he had never snuck out of the coven without permission, actively volunteered to do patrol work and actually did his due diligence, plus he hadn't gotten anyone pregnant and had no messy relationships.
As a further bonus, Alaric wasn't just mature and steady for his age, he even made the most slothful oldest prince start to work hard!!!
Did it take him over twenty years? Yes. But what was twenty years? These parents and elders were willing to wait fifty if it meant their children could stop running around and causing headaches and get their shit together faster.
Elders: In fact, if it wasn't inappropriate, we would wish we could make Alaric give the chunni parents of these chunni brats lessons as well.
The chuuni parents:
Jia Hyson had a headache just thinking about it. Even if he has some family members of his own who are quite sensible and willing to help him, compared to himself they were just too young and inexperienced in handling so many bear children at once. At best he could throw them to some of the easier to handle ones but the harder more arrogant vampires would be put under his supervision.
Not only that but he also must take care of Prince Silas who was the most expensive and precious flower in the greenhouse*. Jia Hyson furrows his brows.
*because he's been sheltered from the outside world.
Aiyo, it was hard to be a good child when you're a vampire.
At the same time, in a pale, almost crystalline castle on a cliffside in the most northern point of Alaska*, a vampire awakes.
*Referencing Barrow (Utqiavik), it is one of the places in the world with the least amount of sunlight, and I believe the least amount in America.
Maybe because of where he slept, the vampire was paler even by vampiric standards, with skin like snow, and short curled hair that seems spun like gold he was like an ethereal angel rather than a creature of the night. It was like the world was painted with rich oils and acrylics, but only he was painted in a pale and delicate watercolour with the finest brushes.
The only thing that stood out intensely was his eyes.
One black. One silver.
As he pushes open his coffin, the head butler of the castle who had been waiting for this moment immediately provided him a small bed tray with the other's favourite meal on it. "How was you sleep your highness?" He politely murmurs, careful not to let his voice be too loud and jolt the prince's slow process as he comes out of his long slumber. "The king has requested you enter St Lailah's Academy once you awaken, in order for you to see the current situation with vampires of your generation."
The butler does not even dare to look in his direction, submissively and deferentially looking downwards as he patiently waits for an answer.
"That is fine," The blonde haired boy pauses, his silver and black eyes turning an excited bright red as he stares at the bloody human heart on his plate. He chuckles softly as he takes a knife and fork, piercing the organ and slicing it into delicate bite-sized pieces, "And I had a very nice dream."
The servant bows his head, "Very good your highness."
"It is, isn't it?"
