[Accidental Video]

[When the SFC clicks on the angle is funny and definitely broadcasting from the floor. However, the view only shows a hand at close range and there don't seem to be any sounds coming from the apartment.

After a moment, the sound of paws running across the floor can be head and as Minea passes by, she kicks the SFC causing it to turn so that the owner of the hand can be seen. The cat nudges Johnny's unconscious face with her own and mews in an attempt to wake him up, but it doesn't seem to do any good.

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong, but the vampire certainly isn't waking up either.]

You said yourself that they wouldn't help you too much. You're still going to be like this until you have living blood.

[He finds a dishcloth, grabs a knife, and takes a bowl as well, going back to the living room and sitting across from Johnny. He rolls up his sleeve and ties the dishcloth around his upper arm and starts feeling for a good place on his arm to cut, glancing up at the vampire with a sad smile.]

This is necessary, Johnny. I don't want to see you like this anymore.

[He reaches out, grabbing Jacob's wrist, keeping his gaze steely even though his grip was weak.]

Don't do this, Jacob. I'm a monster enough as it is, I don't need to add drinking your blood to that.

But I'm giving you my blood, there's a difference.

[He just keep gazing at him sadly, like a father who's trying to explain something important to a child who doesn't want to listen.]

It's who you are, Johnny. And I know it hurts, but sometimes things must be done so you can survive. And giving you my blood will help with that.

[He drops his gaze, but keeps his loose grip on Jacob's wrist.]

...I haven't had living blood in over a century....I don't know what'll happen.

[All he could see was Marie and the blood-lust in her usually beautiful eyes and it made him shiver.]

I don't want to lose it, especially not around you.

I can defend myself, Johnny. And I'll give you a little bit at a time so that you can adjust.

[He nods.] Johnny, if that is the risk I have to take to make you better, than so be it. Besides, after what happened on the island...I don't remember much, but I know I hurt you. And that isn't good.

[He sighs, still not looking at Jacob but at the cat sitting nearby, watching them.]

I'm...not going to be able to change your mind, am I?

I am rather hard to persuade when I have my mind set on something, yes.

[He gives a slightly amused smile before gesturing to his tied arm with the knife.]

How do you usually drink it? Do you bite it or do I give it to you? How does it work?

[He winces, choosing to look at Jacob's face rather than his arm where he could hear the blood flowing.]

Biting, usually. More direct that way...

Alright, then.

[He places the knife on the table and moves to sit by Johnny's side.]

...It will hurt, won't it?

Yes.

[Johnny's hands ghost over Jacob's arm and he turns his eyes back to the man.]

Last chance to do what you should be doing.

Johnny, you know that pain isn't going to make me turn back. If it's the only way, than so be it.

[He places his other hand on Johnny's knee and offers him the tied one, smiling that benevolent smile of his.]

I'll be fine, don't worry.

[He searched Jacob's face, trying to find some notion of doubt that could let him push the man away but he couldn't.]

...Fine.

[Gently, he took the offered arm in his hands, supporting it as he lowered his mouth to a point near the wrist. He hesitates only a moment before sinking his fangs into Jacobs arm.]

[Of course, Jacob winces in pain. It's not everyday when another person bites you, and Jacob never had the pleasure of getting to know a vampire back on the island, so this is a new experience indeed.]

[But he pulls the pain inward, grits his teeth, and puts on his most calm face- he doesn't want to show it in front of Johnny. He doesn't want Johnny to be more upset of what he was doing to him.]

That's it.

[He'd forgotten the taste of living blood and, in comparison, he'd been drinking water compared to chocolate milk, but the effects were more like a straight shot of Caffeine to his system. Instantly, he could feel a warmth through his body he hadn't realized he'd been lacking and he could feel strength returning to him in spades.

It was giving him a burst of adrenaline and before he realized it the sensations and taste and power overwhelmed him, overwhelming his mind and senses as his grip tightened and bloodlust took over.]

[Jacob winces even more as he feels the blood being sucked out of him, but he knows he can't stop- what if it wasn't enough? He didn't want Johnny to still be half-conscious after this. How much blood did vampires need, anyways?]

[He grips Johnny's knee even tighter, trying to keep himself steady. It would be over soon, he hoped.]

[He had had enough, somewhere in the back of his mind, Johnny knew he'd taken exactly as much as he'd intended. He was supposed to stop but that voice telling him to stop was small and so hazed over he didn't recognize it for what it was; he'd lost control.

Releasing Jacobs arm, both from his fangs and from his grip, his golden eyes flashed and he made a lunge for Jacob, intending to sink his fangs into the man's neck.]

J-Johnny!

[He hadn't been expecting that. Jacob leans back and, trying to ignore the blood trickling down his arm, and pushes the vampire back as much as he can, trying to keep him away from his neck.]

Snap out of it!

[Hearing his name made something stir in his mind and, suddenly, it was like a fog lifted and he pushed back from Jacob. Leaping back off the couch, the vampire sat on the ground, his back against the wall and his face in his hands.]

I...I'm sorry....

Minea..

[At his call, the cat turned into a girl and went to fetch bandages, returning a moment later. She Sat in front of Jacob and began to bind his arm.]

It...it's all right, Johnny.

[He lets out a sigh as the bandage is wrapped, staring over at Johnny with a deeply concerned look.]

Are you alright?

[He gives a derisive laugh into his hands, still not looking up.]

Am I all right? I should be asking you that, not the other way around, Jacob.

[His tone lowers to a near whisper and he looks away, not meeting Jacob's eyes at all.]

Just go; leave before I end up killing you. I'm not safe.

I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I've been through worse.

[Like almost getting stabbed with a knife by a crazy Spanish guy with big eyelashes, that sort of thing.]

...It's okay. I helped you. And I was the one who forced my blood on you.

[He rubs the bandages that cover his wound after Minea finishes them, eyes trying to meet the vampire's.]

Even if you weren't safe, which isn't true, I'll still be here. I'm always here for you, Johnny.

You have no reason to be.

I only hurt those I care about.

[He stands and walks to the window to open it.]

Leave when you want....and...thanks; I really do appreciate your help.

[And he dissolves into a cloud of bats, out the window, still refusing to meet Jacob's eyes.]

No, you don't, Johnny. You didn't hurt me-

[And before he can stand up and stop Johnny from leaving, he is gone. He walks over to the window, watching the bats fly away.]

Johnny!

[But it is already too late, and Jacob sighs. Why couldn't he understand? He would always be there for him. Always.]
