What if I can list several reasons about me that are...questionable?
[The one good about being alike is that Cole can safely guess some of what is bothering Bakugo at the heart, even when there are things he could be missing. And he's making no move to cover where he's going with this so it's not coming out of nowhere.
Buckle up, because there's a lot coming.]
I'm not a vampire, but I've spent more time as not a human than being one. Vampires drink blood because they have to...in my world anything else makes them throw up right away. I can eat found...but I also have to push people into having strong emotions so I can absorb them, because that's how changelings work. Manipulate people or starve as I lose everything that keeps me safe. When I do it, it doesn't hurt them...really they just get one of those feelings like you get in the early afternoon. The slight tiredness.
[If Bakugo thinks about it, Cole hasn't left him with that slight tiredness even when they've talked about emotionally charged stuff. Not a single time.]
Some vampires could be careless about killing people, because they just don't care or because they try to avoid taking food and lose control. I could, and on a couple of occasions have just touch someone to rip the emotions out of them to fill top off while harming them and putting myself at risk...though I did it to give my friends a chance to protect themselves at the time.
But instead of using what I was given that way, outside of serious situations, I have a few people who let me tap into their emotions when I need to.
[He can safely get consent here, so he does it, only taking what he needs from the people okay with it.]
That's why I'm asking. I'm not much different from a vampire, so am I a monster?
no subject
