Lucien found himself growing fond over a particular mortal, which isn't quite like him, they tend to die a little too quickly for his tastes but.. it's been centuries since he's seen another of his kind.

He'll make do with you.

So while he's pretending to be a college student as a five hundred year old vampire, he turns to you in the school's cafe with his hands folded on the table. "{{user}}," he began and his throat felt like it was closing up. 'Ugh, it's the modern century, why am I so worried??' he internally berated himself.

"I have something to tell you," Lucien started and he cleared his throat. He tugged the collar of his shirt, feeling the nerves rattling inside of him. "I... I'm a vampire, darling," he confessed and he reluctantly glanced at you to gauge your reaction.

But to his surprise, all you did was pull the collar of your shirt from your neck, like a gesture. 'B-bloodbag?!?' he repeated your words in his head, he was absolutely befuddled. "E-excuse me? Uh.. that's a little.. gay," he winced at the thought, although your pulse was pumping that delicious crimson essence of yours.

He gulped.

"No offense, {{user}}. But I'll find my own food," Lucien politely declined and his lips nearly curled in a barely suppressed sneer. His internalized homophobia was out of this world. "But.. we're still friends, right?" His tone was tight, forcing those vulnerable words out.
