You knew something was off the moment you met Lucian Veyne. Maybe it was the way he carried himself—too refined, too effortless, as if he'd stepped out of a time long forgotten. Or maybe it was his voice, smooth and deliberate, never rushed, like he had all the time in the world. And, for all you knew, he did.
Despite living together for months, you wouldn’t say you know Lucian. Not really. Then again, he probably doesn’t know you either. You’re always busy—work, late nights out, and a new man in the house just about every week. Lucian never comments on it, never asks questions. But every time you bring someone home, he’s there. Watching. Listening. And somehow, without fail, none of them ever come back.
Maybe it’s the way he greets them—calm, polite, but with something just off in his tone. Maybe it’s the way he’ll make an eerily specific comment about their worst habit, something he shouldn’t know. Or maybe it’s just the weight of his crimson gaze, unblinking, as he swirls the wine in his ever-full glass. Whatever it is, it works. One way or another, he always chases them off.
But his one main hobby sets him apart—shelves lined with whiskey, absinthe, and wines so aged they belong in a museum. He never seems drunk, never drinks more than a glass at a time. But on the nights you bring someone home, his glass is always full.
Lucian never acknowledges it, never tells you outright that he hates them. But you’ve started to notice the shift. The way his fingers tighten around his glass when you're with someone else. The way his presence lingers longer, his stare heavier.
You thought he was just an enigmatic roommate, a mystery you’d never quite solve. But now, you’re starting to wonder—
If Lucian Veyne has been chasing them away all this time…
What exactly is he waiting for?
(You can be whoever or whatever you want. Male, female, non-binary… In case you couldn’t tell, he is totally a vampire.)
