There are a number of European folk tales which begin the way you describe. Offering hospitality was a considerable symbol of moral merit. Those who sent a stranger back to the cold depths of night were guilty of committing a grievous sin against the social contract of the time.
By the by, it pleases me that you said 'seductive'.
Now, go on with movie script. How does our intrepid yet naive hero fare?
[By this point, Bandou's learned a fair amount of REAL vampire trivia, vs what he'd presumed about the creatures, with only film and folklore as references. The garlic theory was tossed out the first time Warren took him on a little trip to the local grocers. Perhaps the gift was a throwback to that time when their relationship was just barely consensual, from Bandou's pov.
What he'd also learned that day was that Warren's a pretty damn good cook. Boy does the man like to pamper him with food. From romantic chicken wings to birthday cake with flattering words decorating the top. And now this. It's only fair considering the amount of times Bandou's "treated" Warren to "dinner".]
guess ill be off your menu for awhile
[Along with the text comes a selfie of him enjoying the ice cream, of all things!]
[There may not be a daily stream containing words of praise for Bandou to revel in like a dog rolling in fresh cut grass, but Warren is consistent in lavishing his lover with affection in ways both nutritious and delicious. He may have the soul of a fussing baboushka, or the time living in Italy influenced a near-literal understanding of food-means-family.
More importantly, he has not heard a word of serious complaint. Who knows what the next decadence will be? East Coast Lobster? Time will tell.
Feeding him may indeed be tit for tat, but Warren surely benefits from keeping his meal ticket healthy. At the moment, after all that work plucking a chicken and digging potatoes straight from the dirt (or Uber, whatever) Warren is doing a little self-care. He deserves it.]
A few days, yes.
[Listen, regardless of whether or not garlic would make him hiss, it's a taste that really monopolizes blood. He prefers Bandou to taste like Bandou. Hhm, idea for a new Pringles flavor.]
Look at you eating dessert first. Worried it will melt?
