Slept So Long (Without You)

Summary:

Michael Wheeler is a pureblood vampire who ends up responsible for an unprecedented Witch/Vampire hybrid William Byers and his family. What happens when he becomes obsessed with him? When he falls in love with him? When he's willing to break the rules of the Undying Race to keep him safe? Can they get past the prejudice and fear rooted into the minds of the Tenebrous? If there is such a thing as "Happily Ever After" it should be attainable for the Immortal, right?

Notes:

"Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
And Hoping, hating
Things that I can't bare
Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life and fuck it up
Well, did you...
I. See. Hell in your eyes
Taken. in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
And Hoping, hating
The things that I can't bare
Did you think it's cool to walk right up
And take my life and fuck it up
Well, did you!
I hate you...
I. See. Hell in your eyes
Taken. in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive!
Touching you makes me die inside..
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How did you get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you
Now, I've slept so long without you
(Touching you makes me die inside)
I see hell in your eyes
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Taken. in by surprise
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Touching you makes feel alive
(Touching you makes me die inside)
Touching you makes me die inside...
(Touching you makes me die inside)"

Relistened to this gem of a song with my Byler eyes and first I was listening "metaphorically" but then I was like... hey waittttttttttt what if it was ACTUALLY? And so here we are.

**If you're on of the three people reading my fix it fic I am still doing that, it's just so fucking long and I need some pick me up between chapters or I'm gonna burn out.
