“But of course. Godspeed in dealing with Dimitri…” he laughed slightly.

“….No, it isn’t that. I just feel bad for you, is all.” he forced a light smile in an attempt to reassure her. “It all sounds difficult…”

Amato hummed and flashed Yana a look of sympathy as they were seated. “Does this happen often?” he asked quietly before sighing softly. “People sometimes are afraid of me for being a vampire, so I understand in some ways.”

“My best tip is to just ignore or take it as a compliment.”

“Oh! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen another one outside of my family.” he smiled warmly.

“Dimitri called me a fruit bat because I like men. I want to be mad, but it’s kind of funny actually—.”

𝘊𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘮.ᐟ ㅤ amato time, babeyyyyy

𝘊𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘮.ᐟ ㅤ apparently there were people i weren’t following back 🧍‍♂️ i’m sorry, i didn’t get any notifications for new follows 😭

𝘊𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘮.ᐟ ㅤ amato time, babeyyyyy

Amato’s smile softened once he saw the bracelet. “You shouldn’t have… Thank you. I appreciate it greatly.” He nodded his head as a thanks as he stepped inside the restaurant, folding up the parasol.

“Sadly, yes. It’s how I manage to have stayed sane for the 2 to 3 years I’ve known him.”

Amato raised a hand as a greeting and smiled. The shade of the signature red and black lace parasol in his other hand protecting him from the sun. “Yana, hello. How are you?”

“Good luck with that.” he laughed. “I’ve known him for years, he still comes onto me and others.”

“Never bite Dimitri, he’ll just make it weird. Don’t ask me how I know…”

you are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires.

He snorted—. “Not the first time I’ve heard someone say that, honestly.”

you made me feel alive again, i wish we'd never met.

you took my broken melody & now i hear a symphony.

i can fix you! let me fix you!

“Hmm… If you insist. I’m glad that it is at least manageable to you.”

“Ah, I see. That kind.” he gave a knowing nod. “I’m sorry to hear. It must be hard.”

“You don’t know, at all? Or you just don’t know them on a personal level?”

“My family are vampires as well, so thankfully, they have to be accepting of me.” he laughed. “Oh, definitely. Being cursed isn’t 𝙪𝙣𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛, just rare.”

Amato made a face at the term 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧, but he knows there’s currently no better word for people like Dimitri and him. “…I would imagine being cursed is harder, truthfully. I lived my entire life as a vampire so I’m used to it, but someone who would be cursed as one would have to change their +

of course i’ll hurt you. of course you’ll hurt me. we will hurt each other. but this is the very condition of existence. to become spring means accepting the risk of winter. to become presence means accepting the risk of absence.

Chewing on his snake bite piercings…

“I haven’t seen Dimitri hurt anyone, but I’ve only known him for 2 to 3 years now. With being born a werewolf, that’s a gene that shows itself in late teenage years to early adulthood. I can only imagine how much of a shock it was his first full moon…”

“…Odd question to ask, but it isn’t something I have ever had a conversation with him about. I imagine he would have to, I mean, he needs to be babysat every full moon because he’s scared he might hurt someone.”

“Ye~ah…. He… He’s like that…” he cringed. God, how he wished Dimitri was normal.

“Eh!? What do you mean? You want to make out with Dimitri too?!” Amato, no—.

i'm comforted by the sweet smells of dew because the sunrise reminds me of you

crawl inside me and find where i'm most ruined. love me there.

Amato blinked, unsure if he should follow her or not… He remained put as she hid momentarily and then came back out. He gave her a somewhat dubious look. “…Nowhere in particular. You?” He looked over her frame, more to see if she was okay than anything else.

“P—Precisely. We are merely work associates.” he huffed.

Amato was enjoying a nice stroll outside, also having no particular destination. He lifted his free hand that wasn’t holding the black and red lace parasol as a greeting. Seeing her crash made the vampire wince and cringe. He hurriedly rushed over to her, a frown on his lips. “Are you okay?”+

“Urk…!! I—I really don’t!” he huffed. His face is almost as red as his shirt…

“I— 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 like him….!! Definitely not like that! I can’t stand the guy!” Oop. His voice cracked a little.

“….!!!!” Oh, look at that, Amato’s face got way more flushed. Is it hot in here or is it just him— “I—I—I… Suppose those are times when he’s quiet, yes.” he glanced away.

“I agree with you there… The only time he isn’t talking is if he’s— er, actually, never mind. Ignore me…” he flushed slightly.

amato’s voice claim is yuri lowenthal + his singing voice claim is luke hemmings.

Amato snorted—. “Dimitri’s poor mouth. Maybe if we’re all lucky, he’ll shut up after eating them.”

“You can always make him eat things with vinegar. He hates vinegar.”

“Hm~…” The only thing that comes to his mind is a secret that he swore to Dimitri that he wouldn’t tell someone else. “I’m not sure. Gossiping about a coworker, no matter how annoying, still seems somewhat unethical…”

Amato barked out a laugh. “Oh, please… I get on him all the time about it being unethical to flirt with fans. He never listens, though.” He smirked a little and tilted his head. “Gossip? Hm~… I’m unsure what to even talk about in that regard.”

“It’s wonderful to meet you, Adam!” He extended his hand out for a handshake.

“O~h… That’s quite rare.” he gave a look of sympathy to Adam before he cringed again. “…Again, I am 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮 on his behalf. He means well, he just— he just… I don’t understand him sometimes, actually.” he sighed.

“Not exactly like him?” he repeated, raising a brow. “Well, whatever the means, I’m glad he could inspire you… Even if he is somewhat strange…” he gave a slight smile, trying to be polite.
