A Blood-Sucking Valentine (Collection Event) // Count

long time no see on ikevam stories huh
well sad to say that this is only a small moment before another apparent ikevam lull cuz this event is 2 weeks long (aka until valentine’s day itself). guess theyre slowing down on new event output until further notice? but im kind of sad by the implication that there won’t be a valentine’s scenario event this year. either that, or they plan to have it after valentine’s day which is way too dumb for even cybird to do… so idts. idk what they’re planning… hope it’s good

this event is pretty run-of-the-mill. the count’s ministory is at like 40% progress in the item list so u dun even have to pay to reach his story if u play frequently. i think? well i would hope… feel like most of the playerbase are concentrated in the top 5 charas the interesting ones and they’re a good chunk after the Count

Spoilers under the cut!! Please credit if you take any of it, thenk u (･ω･*)

(I shall give you both this chocolate… and myself.
So, with that— please be your unbelievably sweet self.)

February 14th, Valentine’s Day.
I had attended a party that was hosted by an acquaintance of the Count.
Since we came all the way here, it had been decided that we’d stay at the inn of the party venue, but…

…

[Count]: “I’ve received so many presents that I couldn’t possibly eat them all, hm.”
A mountain of sweets had been piled atop the bedside table.
[Count]:“Well then… Kara, I wonder—
you wouldn’t happen to have a Valentine’s Day gift yourself, now would you?”
I readjusted my hold on the gift box I had been hiding behind my back, and deliberately turned my gaze away from him.
[Kara]: “…I don’t have one.”
[Count]:“I don’t recall you becoming such a bad girl, lying like that— Kara.”
His scent faintly drifting in the air,
the Count took my waist into his arms before pinning me over the soft bed.
He picked up the gift box the moment it tumbled out of my hands, and a mischievous smile seeped from his lips.

[Count]:“Now, who’s this for? If you’re going to tell me that it’s a present for another man, I’ll be quite jealous…”
(…He already knows the answer, and yet he still…)

[Kara]: “…It’s for the Count,
who has been doing nothing but accept Valentine’s gifts from women— with the exception of his own lover.”
[Count]:“Your pouting little face is just so adorable,
I thoughtlessly accepted them, that’s all.”
Seemingly satisfied by my response, he dropped a kiss on my forehead.
He then opened the wrapped box, tossing the brandy-filled chocolate into his mouth.
Something about his expression resembled that of an innocent child…

[Kara]: “Hehe, you’re usually a mature man— but from time to time, you almost turn into a little boy.”
(I think I’ve come to really love that part of you too…)
I pondered over my love for him,
when the Count gently neatened my disheveled hair with his fingers, his golden eyes then piercing through me.
[Count]:“For the animal that is a man to be before the woman he is utterly charmed by—
it is only natural for him to unfailingly turn into a child, no…?”
(…ngh-)
The expression before my eyes was completely unlike the one from before— it was that of a terribly bewitching, dangerous man…
(…He’s a sly man, to make that sort of face.)
The Count smiled as if he had read my innermost thoughts before taking my lips, the flavor of brandy streaming in.
[Kara]:“…Mn-, ngh-…”
[Count]: “…These kisses are terribly sweet tonight.”  
Our lips parted with a wet sound, his hands feeling through my chest to tease me.
Beneath his large palms, my heart loudly beats in a frenzy.
“I want this person to take me,” my body cried. So, with that—
[Kara]: “Tonight… crave me childishly, selfishly.”
[Count]: “…Mhm, I didn’t even have to be told that.”

FIN

alternatively, he’s saying something along the lines of “even if you didn’t tell me to (I would’ve done it anyway)”.
+ also more precisely she says “crave me akin to how a child would” (“with actions resembling a child”) but that sounds…..

“blood-sucking valentine”
me: so the purebloods gonna have like a mild blood scene right
cybird: wat, u think we actually understand how ppl who like vampire stories operate

this ministory is p cute (albeit very short… i think it’s like 10 lines shorter than the last one?), except the implication that this guy was watching his waifu go （ ´_ゝ`）for most of the evening as he took up $23423 chocolates from girls left and right and was just like “hehe cute”. leo is advertised as the ずるい one but this guy is smth else smh

as always, thanks for reading!
