MarchWeres Day 3
Prompt: The Bite
Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Tabby (oc)
Warnings: Blood and injury; werewolf bite
It wasn’t what he wanted. It wasn’t what she wanted, and that alone weighed heavier on his heart than the most solid stone.
“The wound’ll hurt.” Daryl whispered. “I was just a boy, maybe ten, when Merle—when he bit me. Tore out a good chunk. Had to stitch it myself when I got home.” His chin wobbled, his eyes following the steady red stream that flowed from the bullet wound. What didn’t collect in her navel was soaked up by the denim at her waist. “I know ya don’t want this.” He dropped his head, shielding his unchecked tears from her spotty vision. “I just—I can’t lose ya. S’selfish, I know—but I don’t, I can’t—”
Tabby’s hand was shaking violently when her fingertips pressed against his mouth. After a moment, when he was silent, she slid them over his stubbled cheek and tucked some of his hair behind his ear. “I may not want this.” She felt herself slipping away, her voice distant to her own ears. “But I do want you. I want to be with you.” Her breath caught, growing more difficult to regain control. “If this is what it takes—bite me, Daryl.”
Daryl caught her hand as it fell away, kissing her wrist, his keen senses could pick up her faint pulse. She was hanging on but he needed to hurry. Ignoring the wound on his right leg, he stood and pulled her against his chest. There was a hole in the roof, the full moon’s light pouring in as if an invitation. It called out to its new daughter.
He collapsed there, summoning the energy for a partial shift, his canines elongating to sharp points, the blue of his eyes spiderwebbed with inky black. Daryl wasted no time, pulling her in tight and sinking his teeth into her shoulder. The primal urge to hunt and to kill warred against love and protective instinct, the latter always victorious. He wouldn’t leave her with a gaping wound like Merle. The skin parted minutely, just enough for him to carve through it with the edge of his tongue.
And then he pulled away, panting and licking her blood from his lips. The wound bled and bled but he didn’t cover it. It would heal, one of the moon’s gifts to soothe the souls of the cursed.
Daryl was beginning to lose hope. Her pulse was so faint that he needed to hold his breath to hear it. He was going to lose her after all.
Then it all reversed, the opened flesh of her shoulder knitted together, only a faint scar remained. The eternal proof he had cursed her. The bullet in her sternum was pushed out, hitting the floor with a stifled clink. He leaned over her, not caring to watch the wound heal.
He needed to see her, yearning for that affection and acceptance in her altered eyes.
When they opened, it was sudden. A deep gasping breath, the moon bearing witness to the whites of her eyes darkening and disappearing beneath the black. It mingled with her natural blue and Daryl was certain he’d never seen eyes so beautiful.
Tabby breathed quickly, overwhelmed by the influx of strength and heightened senses. Her hand had absently already come to rest against Daryl’s cheek. He was leaning into the touch, nuzzling her palm, opening his eyes to see her staring back at him with a gentle smile. Her nails nicked his cheek as they shaped into claws.
“The start of a new adventure, Lobo.”

NAKED - 2: Lips on Neck
Clarity - by Saleka [CLARITY]
[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]
–🐺–🐺–🐺–
I know. I know. I know. My next post was supposed to be about Jikook and the Art of Silence … but I am INFJ-T … so I follow my feelings (for the most part) and as a result, I’d like to talk about that particular occurrence in the lives of JM and JK for a second. All that chest, waist, butt and neck talk made me rethink about Hickeygate!
Like I do, in this come naked second of the blog, I’d like to begin with stripping them down of EVERYTHING that has happened to them previous to the day in which JK, at the time a 23 year old young man, vocalist of a band named BTS, came out of a car with a mark on his neck, ready to go to rehearsal. Soon after him, from the same car, out came another young man by the name of JM, also a vocalist for the same band. If I may add, the fact that they came out of the same car should also be stripped down from this story and simply regarded as facts.
This information is being given to us through a compilation provided to us by the company of said band, HYBE. The DVD/compilation is called “BTS Memories of 2020” and it is paid content (there is a whole can of worms about paid content, but this is not for today’s essay…), which is edited by HYBE and mostly directed to ARMY, who are BTS’ fans BUT … we already know aaaaall of that right? So we shall not go deep into the various objective of this DVD, as this is about the two boys: Jungkook and Jimin.
When the cameraman addresses JK, who is monitoring JM’s rehearsal and asks him what happened to his neck, the young man said and I quote -
JK: “Yesterday, Jiminie-hyung and I played around while having drinks. Jiminie-hyung got dizzie and bit me. He bit me and it became like this”
Translation: phorenJJ
In the following scene Jimin is confronted with regards to JK’s mark. This time, the cameraman chooses a different approach and questions JM while he is in the company of JK and two other bandmates (Tae and Jin). JM replies and I quote:
Jimin: “... Jungkookie carried me and kept on going round and won’t let me down so I bit”
Translation: phorenJJ
From both boys’ versions of the event at some point: Jimin’s teeth were on Jungkook’s neck as they both used the word bite. Now I know it didn’t look like a bite. To many, including myself, it looked like a hickey BUT, let's strip them down of that as well. OK? Teeth are located inside the mouth, right? And the mouth is made of lips, just like an ass is made of buttcheecks. Thus, let’s chalk it up to the fact that, at some point during that night, JM's lips were on JK’s neck.
Now, let’s take a second. Let’s imagine. You’ve been drinking. For those who have never drank, it makes you feel lighter, it lowers inhibitions, and the more your drink the less you can control your bodily functions as well; you really need to concentrate in order to do something properly.
Let’s take a step back. Jungkook and Jimin are bandmates but also friends. In a location that is not provided to us, they were drinking, alone, as Tae and Jin seem to have no idea of what was going on. How do you drink with your friends? I'm usually seated at a table on a chair, so are my friends / friend. Some might be on a table, or by a window etc. But each on their own. And we are not talking about drinking while watching a movie or doing something else, because that is another situation and I do believe it would have been mentioned. This was just a drinking and talking night, it seems. Now here comes the piece of information we do not have: How did JM end up getting carried by JK?
Take a second and let’s continue to try to imagine. What could have made JK want to get up and carry JM? ...
So let’s change the scenario. Let’s have them standing, what could have made them be standing? Maybe JM observed that JK now is so strong that he can carry him for example like he does in No more Dream! He knows, JK knows. So … would they need to demonstrate the fact to themselves? I’d say no, but they’ve drank, so for the sake of argument let’s say that JM wants to have JK show him how easily he can carry him … for some reason … and JK agrees. They both stand up and JK carries JM bridal style. Cool. Yeah, cool but apparently there was spinning.
… Let’s keep imagining.
Once being carried, (not for the first time because Jungkook has carried Jimin bridal style many times) they both confirm and can see that Jungkook can carry Jimin, but for some reason JK decides that it is a good idea to start spinning them. Now mind you, they have both been drinking at this point and the last thing you want to do is start spinning. Like, I’m what you call a liquor enthusiast (... to put it nicely 😬…) and TRUST MY PEOPLE, spinning is really the last thing you want to be doing as the brain and the body would not sync and lots can happen from dizziness to throwing up.
… but let’s keep imagining.
At some point during this very controlled, yet under the influence, rendition of No More Dream, JM decides that he wants to get down but JK doesn’t let him. From what we’ve observed JM usually pats JK’s chest to let him down, which he probably tried that night without avail. At which point, apparently we are still spinning (JK is Clark Kent …) and the next thing JM thinks is to bite him. Except, there are no teeth marks at all BUT we will call it a bite mark. JK must have not felt the bite at all or maybe didn’t mind it, and for his neck to get that bruise it means JM was on the neck for more than 15sec at least… after which we have no idea what happened. All we know is that they both showed up together to rehearsal with a clear mark which JK could have covered but didn’t. I’ll get back to this but before this, let’s take a quick step back and rely on some good ol’ physics real quick
Have you ever been on a spinning ride? If you haven't, what happens is that you will be kept closer to the outer edges of what is spinning because of the centrifugal force, which depending on its strength, would make it very hard for you to reach the centre of whatever is spinning. In the bridal spin situation, JK was the center and JM was at the edge of “the ride” and depending on how fast JK was spinning, it would have been hella hard for JM to reach JK’s neck. Now let’s say that JK was spinning him slowly …
try to imagine two tipsy grown ass men slowly spinning in the middle of a room, alone, while one is being carried bridal style and reaching out to bite the spinner in order to make him stop … LOL.
This is not just JM calling JK cute, or JK slapping JM’s but, or JM pinching JK’s cheeks, or JK shaking JM’s hands. This is literally JM’s lips and tongue (now stay with me on the PG lane please! 👮) on JK’s neck, and no matter how blurry the concept of personal space is for every member in that band, they do have boundaries. We don’t know in fact if JM spent the night or if the same car did its rounds to go pick them up from separate locations … but that really doesn’t matter does it? As we get back to our speculation of what might have happened, let’s imagine JK, waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and finding that mark on his neck. We all know that JK has plenty of makeup available, because of work but also personal choice, so covering that up was definitely going to be
... but he didn’t.
And here come my thoughts - JKK_OBSERVATION_5.mg - Part of me thinks that if it were left to himself, when asked about the “bite”, he’d just say that Jimin bit him, but JM had them agree on a story to go with. And it wasn’t like the area hurt or anything, homeboi was touch the hell out of the mark and the whole day the only people that were allowed to touch that “bite” were the bitten (JK) and the biter (JM), now I ask you, if this were just some messing around among friends as some are trying really hard to make it look like, would JK be so sensitive about who touches a non important mark on his neck? I also feel like lowkey (highkey) JK was kinda proud and happy about being able to just walk around with that bite on his neck, I think that was a personal important moment for himself. Not sure what Jimin thought but as the biter he couldn’t quiet dictate how the bitten handled his body, right? Many will also downplay the meaning of a hickey, but let me tell you, just like when you write your name on something to make sure people know it is yours, if you apply that concept from human to human, I can guarantee you, there is nothing remotely platonic about leaving one's own mark on someone else’s body. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
And that’s all from me!
About to go watch Eternals with a cheap Cabernet Sauvignon,
Always respectfully Yours,
Marengo.
