Chris Was Here?!

The low bass of the song flowed from his headphones and filled his ears. It was pounding. He was bouncing up and down, trying to calm himself. He let his hands raise up into the air, let them move freely to the beat. He still did not feel any calmer; the knots in his stomach and head were still there. He let his head shake and rock with the music. There was a bit of relief then, but it wasn’t enough. There was too much and yet not enough. He didn’t know what to do so he kept moving. Class was starting soon. He would have to leave his room and get to class, lest he be late. He would have to stop moving like this, and start moving like everyone else. He let gave himself until 10:30am. Class started at 12pm. It was 9:45am. This gave him plenty of time to prepare.

Turning the music up on his phone, Chris looked at what was on the lunch menu today. It definitely WASNT chicken parmesean like he planned for. Fuck, that’s on Wednesdays not Thursdays. Wait, was it Wednesday? Chris checked his phone. Wednesday. 11:15am. He still had time to sit down and eat. Sadly, it would not be the chicken parmesan. Chris really didn’t have the appetite for anything else. Maybe he’ll eat that later and just get some candy for now. He stepped briskly out of line and went to the nearest vending machine, spending at least 10$ on chocolate and skittles. He sat and ate while rocking his head slightly back and forth, careful not to get caught up in the motion.

11:35am. He had only eaten one candy bar; stomach was still in knots. He felt like he was going to explode. ‘Maybe i need to go back home,’ he thought. It never ended well when he felt like this. It wasn’t the hunger. He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t sad. He wasn’t anything. Chris just felt that familiar feeling of everything being wrong somehow. The usually comfy, fluffy sweater he wore on bad days was burning his skin. For some reason he thought it wise to wear socks, and he was paying for it. Chris felt as though his feet were covered in ants. The sleek, cotton leggings weren’t feeling much better either as he kept digging into his legs every few minutes to relieve the itching. Thankfully, Chris always had sunglasses in his backpack but they did little to help the feeling of “offness” he felt. He really couldn’t place what could be the issue. ‘One more song and I’ll be set.’ He picked his favorite song which, was the song he had been listening to since he left the house. Only this time he turned it up so loud that anyone sitting across from him could probably hear it.

Chris was sprintjng towards the lab where Lit was held. Fuck. Shit. 11:55am. He didn’t like being late to a class he actually enjoyed. Math? Biology? Intro to French Culture? He could be as late as he wanted. But he actually LIKED his literature class. They always had such fun discussions. The teacher was a little rude and her curriculum was childish and a bit too easy but he didn’t mind. So he really wanted to be there on time. 12:07pm. He was only slightly late when he came panting into the classroom. Most of class wasn’t there. Many had stopped showing up early as the weeks went by and some stopped coming at all. He took a seat towards the back and took his headphones off.

‘Ah, i really should have stayed home.’ Chris thought. Focusing on the lesson was near impossible. Someone had been chewing gum. It was the only thing he could hear. He ran his hands through his hair. He was hoping they’d swallow it and choke on it but throughout the lesson they kept on chewing. Another person had a cold and kept sniffling. ‘Why the fuck would you come to class with a cold just stay home SOME of us want to learn how dare you—‘ Chris’ mind was racing. His other hand twirled and tugged at his ponytail. The professor had said something about someone’s work but it was so hard to hear her over the sound of the pages of someone’s textbook turning. He’s going to miss the entire lecture at this point. All because these people don’t know how to sit quiet and listen. He was so upset. Why can’t everyone just sit still and list? Who chews that loudly? Are you a cow? Are you an idiot? When are you going to choke on it? Chris dug the hand without the ponytail into his leg. He knew he should probably leave but getting up was just as painful as staying seated. It took all of his concentration to get up and walk, almost sprinting to the nearest empty classroom. He sat on the floor and sighed deeply. He put his headphones back on and continued tugging at his ponytail. He didn’t want tk go back in there to get the rest of his things. ‘I can leave it. I have my wallet. Aaron can buy me more books.’

***

Chris left in such a hurry, that it was kind of shocking to Steven. The guy never left in the middle of class. Maybe he got a bad text? He DID look really angry when he came in. And everytime Steven glanced over at him he was wide eyed, in a daze. ‘Oh shit...maybe he’s high.’ Yeah that must be it. Steven’s had plenty of encounters with that sort of thing. One of his best friends was a pretty regular hippie type. When he was having a bad trip, Steven always had to help him through it. When the class ended and Chris Still hadn’t come back for his stuff, Steven decided to be a good samariten and bring it too him. Hey, this will make asking for tutoring much easier. Steven’s father always said that helping someone before you ask them for something is always guaranteed to make them agree!

With that in mind, Steven went in search of Chris. He couldn’t have left all his stuff behind in the building, right? If he did, it must have been one hell of a trip. After checking the building once over, he returns back to the lit classroom and stand outside the door, thinking. ‘Well, maybe he’ll come back for his stuff?’ Steven was considering just leaving it by the door when he saw Chris down the hall. Sighing with relief, Steven ran towards him with his stuff in had. “Chris! Dude! You left all your shit back there!” Chris had his headphones in and was looking at his phone.
“Chriiiiiiiissssss!!!” Chris nearly screamed as Steven pat him on the shoulder. There were tear streaks in his face. He looked like a deer caught in headlights. Steven back up a little.
“Whoa, whoa dude you ok?” Chris nodded.
“Are you sure? You look like ass—“
“My stuff.” Chris pointed at his bookbag in Steven’s hand.
“Oh yeah dude, no yeah here,” he handed it to Chris. “Dude if you’re like. Having a bad trip i know how to handle those my friend used to—“ Chris was already walking away. He didn’t say thank you or anything. Steven was so confused all he could was stare as Chris slowly walked down the hall. ‘I guess he’s just having a really bad day.’ Steven thought as he scrateched his head.

Chris did not come to class for a day or two. When he finally returned, he was his normal, assholish self. Steven almost sort of missed the quiet, doe eyed boy from the other day. But, after class he sucked it up and went up to Chris before he could corner a poor student into a debate about today’s lecture.
“Hey Chris! Can I talk to you for a sec?” Chris rolled his eyes and sat on a desk.
“Yes?.”
“Ok so this is really embarrassing but—“
“I’m not into red heads.”
“What.”
“I don’t like red heads. Sorry.” Steven shook his head, ignoring the comment.
“Can you tutor me?”
“No.”
“Aw thanks man— wait why?” Chris crossed his legs and looked up at Steven, his brow furrowed.
“Just because.”
“That is NOT a valid answer.” Chris crossed his arms.
“I don’t care.”
“Even if I’m willing to pay you?”
“Psshhh. Depends on how much. And even if you DID pay me, i doubt you could afford me.” He said with a smirk as he got off the table. He sauntered over to the door and wave in an overly cheery way. Steven was fuming. What the HELL was up with this guy?

PERSONALITY

Personality: Loud. He talks very loud. He has a hard time with empathy. His is very low as is his sympathy. He does not work to understand people because he doesn’t feel the need to unless he will get something out of it. He is slowly coming out if this because of Steven but it is a slow process. Other than Steven and Joey, Chris does not have people he has been interested enough in to understand without a reward. He is not very good with understanding how people feel about him. He often cannot tell he is being annoying to others unless they explicitly say so. He cannot tell when people are tired of hearing him talk and will continue to talk unless told to stop (and even then he may just keep going). He would describe the way he interacts with people as a play. He has to learn what his audience likes and adjust his character accordingly. If his audience does not give him a huge reaction, that means his character is off and he must change it. Very quick to anger and lies alot. He will deny that he is lying. He’s usually optimistic and carefree. Very emotional and does not hide them well. He doesn’t think things through and will do something he regrets very often. Sometimes he does under that others do not think like he does and often tells them their opinions are wrong and that his is the only one. Does not understand that sometimes his actions are wrong and does not understand why people are always so annoyed and frustrated with him. Can be very childish.

COMBAT

Peaceful or aggressive attitude? Aggressive but a scaredy cat.

Fighting skills/techniques: his technique is to keep hitting till the other person is tired. He has amazing stamina and keep fighting all damn day and night and will do so but has no technique so it’s just him kinda flailing about. He will totally fucking collapse and still try to keep going.

Special skills/magical powers/etc: he has wings! That he almost never uses... has visions of the future and past but can’t decipher them as they come in weird little bursts. Can hear the voices of angels and the dead.

Weapon of choice (if any): if he had to choose, anything long range

Weaknesses in combat: he’s stronger than the average human and if enough force is applied he can tear shit up. Only problem? He’s gotta be well fed, which he usually isn’t. So at this point he’s only slightly stronger than a human. He does not pay attention. You could catch him off guard very easily. Fast reflexes don’t help if you aren’t paying attention. Since he IS a vampire, steaking him incapacitates him. Has to be in the heart though! If you wanna kill him, ya gotta burn the fucker. Specifically his heart. Leave nothing behind or he can come back (it’ll just take forever!). Since he is seldom well fed, any sort of fast healing he has takes alot longer. Does not know when he has lost.

Strengths in combat: stamina, fast reflexes

December wanfs to teach Chris to be a better vampire and not so much of a failure to the family name. It is not working and Chris often just fucks with him for laughs.

BACKSTORY

Describe their childhood (newborn - age 10): born to Peregrine when Oberon got bored of his current marriage and needed to spice things up. His father did not find out about Chris till he was around 2 (human age aquivalent). Peregrine did not feel like she could take care of him (and did not want to continue trying) and left him with Oberon. Oberon tries to take care of Chris with no help from his wife. It’s very obvious Chris is different than the other children and cries nonstop. He’s very emotional for a child, something Oberon doesn’t think a man should be. Chris is often beaten for crying or locked in the closet until he stops. Chris tries to emulate Annabelle for affection and tries not to cry so much. Mixed results. He offen got in trouble for wearing Annabelle’s clothes or not acting his age. He then decides to not bother and just to not do as he is told. He will only listen if Oberon threatens or hits him. Often runs off and has to be found. Most vampire children develop a small amount of bloodlust at around 8-10. Chris has been very violent since he was around 4, something that isn’t heard if anymore. The older generation of vampires used to be like this, but vampires have since become less animalistic in nature and more civilized. Chris is more like the older generation. He starts seeing and hearing angels and visions at around 6. His parents do not believe him. So Chris also doesn’t believe what he sees and tries (poorly) to ignore it. He is often jealous that Annabelle gets attention. The other children around don’t like being around him and think he is either too loud, too boring or too violent. December does not speak to him because his mother said not to, and because he thinks Chris is too weird. Chris spends most of his time around the adults. He realizes that if he acts a certain way (overly polite, reciting the things he read that impresses the adults) they treat him well. He realizes that some of the adults think he is very cute and sweet.

Describe their teenage years (11 - 19): Realizes that his looks can get him very far. He can adjust how he acts around the adults and they will treat him better. He starts being inappropriate with some of them, with mixed results. He has his first sexual encounter with an older woman at 11. He thinks this means he is now an adult. Many of those around him do NOT like how inappropriate he is being around them, but a few of them take advantage of it. He thinks these adults are showing him love. His father knows nothig about it. Oberon announces that Chris is to wed some girl, Chris fights it. Obviously Oberon does not listen. He figures he can at least marry the boy off and get some use out of him. Chris officially runs away at 13. Wanders the streets, works a brothel for a few years. He first encounters Aaron here but Aaron is too poor to convince Chris to go with him. This starts Aaron’s obsession witb him. A wealthy patron comes into the brothel. He is so taken by Chris that he buys him. Chris lives with him for a few years, being passed around his friends. During this time Chris offen goes out to hunt humans. Humans and vampires are already at war so it is not uncommon for a human to go missing. Many do not think Chris is even a vampire. They believe he is half elf and he doesn’t correct them. At some point Chris decides he has had enough of thjs man and burns his house down. Because Chris is listed as this man’s adopted son, he get a small amount of money. He hangs around England for a few years more and leaves for the land of opportunities! America! He’s 16/17. Is homeless for a loooooong ass time. Works for various pimps for money. Eventually re meets Aaron, who by this time has enough money to make even the shadiest of Congress men blush. Aaron offers Chris the life he deserves, all Chris has to do is love him :) how sweet :) Aaron gets rid of Chris’s pimp and Chris moves in. He puts Chris into college and helps him with landing music gigs at high end restaurants. Chris still works as an escort/sugar baby with Aaron’s approval (“you don’t truly love them and i know you need to do things like that. I mean you are a vampire.”). This is where Chris is currently.

Describe their adult years (20+):

I realize no one asked but it’s 4am and i cannot sleep so. Have you been wondering what the heck is going on with this fucked up timeline. Well, the way I’ve sort of done it is that Chris, our protagonist, is the middle bastard child. He has an older brother, December, and a younger sister, Annabelle. Yes, his brother’s name is really December. No, i don’t know why his mother did that to him. Anyways. The way i see it, Oberon was married all happy and what not but he was kinda bored. Let’s face it, Oberon’s an asshole. So he thinks to himself, “Yeah I’m married and doing what my family wishes but i sure am a bit…I’m lacking in the ‘fun’ department these days.” So he goes out a bit more and meets Peregrine. We all know how Perry is. We can all guess how fun it was, at least for a short while. So after Oberon has his midlife crisis with Peregrine, he’s like, “My fun quota has been filled for a long while. I’m done, please don’t contact me again.” And Peregrine is ok with that because Oberon’s an asshole. And so is she. So a few years pass, December’s a sweet lil boy and Annabelle is a cute lil toddler. So this when the timeline is basically the same as before: Peregrine abandons Chris ar Oberon’s place. He has no choice but to take care of this kid (well he DOES have a choice but he thinks it would look worse if he threw Chris out. Which it…kind of would…) but his wife (Who’s name i keep changing cuz i can’t find one that fits. Any suggestions would be great) is like, “That kid is WRONG i don’t want him anywhere near my perfect children😤” and yeah. It’s pretty convoluted and fun, which is the name of the game, right?



After that it’s basically all the same with a few changes bc Oops Steven is there too and also Wow are those AAAANGELS that Chris is seeing out his window or is that just the gardener?
