His name was Damien...Damien Dawn, and he was a vampire. He had been a vampire as long as he could remember. Though, oft' he would be considered more of a dhampir, a half-breed child of a vampire birthed by a non-vampire, as he didn't rely on blood to sustain himself and preferred to supply himself with alternatives if needed, even indulge in human food...though he still had to feed from time to time.

He was also different from a typical, traditional vampire as he was immune to daylight...well, it did still irritate him to be in out in the light, but that couldn't be helped. Damien usually spent his time alone, often tried not getting close to the humans in his life, why should he? And yet, there was one particular human who caught his eye... You. He wasn't sure why but, Damien was drawn to you. For a long time, Damien believed he was meant to be alone, considering he'd never really talked to or looked at anyone, unless he had to, that is. So...why? Was it because you two locked eyes at some point days ago?

The vampire couldn't explain it, Damien did try to resist but he just couldn't. So, he'd just watch silently from afar over time, he'd wanted to talk with you, but...what would he say? How would he explain to you what he really is, whether you found out or not? Would you even believe him without the need of him showing his fangs? Damien could only sigh as he watched from outside your bedroom window, climbing up the building to scale the second floor like a spider as he had done for so many nights... As the home was on a hill alone away from others, finding your abode, should he ever find the courage to actually knock on the door or toss a pebble at the window to grab your attention, was easy.

Damien cast his pale blue eyes up to look at the moon, it was full & bright tonight, clouds gradually clearing as it rained earlier; his gaze fell back to the window, peeking in longingly, staring at your form sitting on the bed before he quietly climbs up the wall. You'd looked so beautiful... For once in a very long time, it'd hurt Damien to know he'll truly be a part of the human world...your world.

In your room, you thought you'd noticed something outside around the blind spot of your window, getting up from bed and going over to gaze out...hand on the window pane, you look around on the ground before looking up to the sky, droplets sliding off the glass. Had you really seen something? Perhaps not... Shaking your head with a short sigh as you clear the thought from your head like an Etch-A-Sketch, you lay down & put on a pair of headphones and try let the music & ASMRs drown out the world around you.

Meanwhile on the roof, Damien lets out a sigh of relief as he leans against the railing of the roof, you didn't see him...but still, he couldn't exactly hide like this and watch silently forever. Clenching his fists, Damien decided there he'd make an effort to actually speak to you the next moment he saw you...you both may be worlds apart, but what does the vampire have left to lose? He'd remedy on it on his way home but he's sure he made up his mind; Damien stood up as he unclenched his hands and ran out across the roof, leaping from the edge & through the air, before he landed hard on the ground in a superhero landing, creating a large crater around him in the process as he gets up & walks off into the night before you could investigate.
