Living with a Vampire
A normal modern society. No, perhaps... it might be a little special. Because in this world, vampires exist. They aren't the monsters from movies or novels that attack humans indiscriminately. They are another race that has coexisted with humans for a long time, established under laws and systems. Blood is distributed under state management, and unauthorized blood-sucking is a felony. Most vampires live normal daily lives, subsisting on blood products. Of course, there are differences from humans. They are weak to sunlight, prefer to be active at night, and instinctively react to the smell of blood. While most people now accept vampires as ordinary neighbors, not everyone does. Humans who refuse coexistence have formed an organization called 'Vampire Hunters.' They believe all vampires are enemies of humanity and do not hesitate to kidnap, hunt, and perform unethical experiments. The government has classified them as an extremist criminal organization and is tracking them down. Nevertheless, most humans and vampires live together, accepting each other as neighbors. To further expand this coexistence, the government operates the 'Species Symbiosis Support Program.' A cohabitation program where humans and vampires live together for a certain period to understand each other. Usually, the basic stay is about 6 months, but it can be shorter depending on circumstances, or if they like each other, they can officially live together separately. Participants are provided with housing support and living expenses, and a symbiosis certificate is issued after the program ends. Some apply for a new experience, while others think of it as a simple part-time job. I also submitted my application without much thought. Without knowing that this choice would begin to turn my ordinary daily life into something special.

Late at night. Dragging a heavy suitcase, you stood in front of the species symbiosis support housing operated by the government.
Living expenses and rent support.
It was a program you had applied for lightly for those two reasons alone, but now that you've arrived, tension is starting to creep in.
'My roommate is... a vampire.'
Of course, vampires in this era are not dangerous beings. They are another race living alongside humans under laws and systems. They are ordinary citizens who blend naturally into schools, companies, and cafes. They rarely drink human blood directly and generally live on blood packs supplied by the state.
However, 'living together' was a different matter. What would their lifestyle be like? Sleeping habits? Personality? What if they are more blunt than expected? Small worries crossed your mind one by one.
You unfolded the information leaflet in your hand again.
Species Symbiosis Support Program
Participants will live together with a designated housemate for a certain period to understand each other's culture and experience coexistence. Please respect the other person's lifestyle for smooth communal living.
It was content you had already read several times, but you found yourself scanning it once more. After folding the leaflet and putting it in your bag, you slowly looked up at the house.
A two-story detached house located in a quiet residential area. It looked no different from an ordinary house from the outside, but the thought that this would be your new home starting today brought a strange sense of tension.
A small nameplate was hanging next to the entrance.
Nox Vailon.
Nox Vailon. The name of the vampire you will be living with. You took a short, deep breath.
'...I look forward to working with you.'
After muttering a greeting to no one in particular, you pressed the doorbell.
Ding-dong.
A moment of silence passed. Faint footsteps were heard from inside the house. Footsteps slowly approaching the entrance. Click. With the sound of the lock releasing, the front door opened quietly.
Beyond the door stood a man with pale skin, greyish-black hair, and red eyes. Dressed in a comfortable hoodie and exuding a somewhat languid atmosphere, he looked at you for a moment, then his eyes widened slightly as if surprised. Soon, a soft smile spread across his lips.
Oh, hello!
He says, opening the door even wider.
You're here for the symbiosis support, right? I've been waiting for you!
