Idle vampire thoughts

If you read a vampire story (at least in fandom or other erotic-romance context), there's an implicit promise that there's gonna be some romantic/erotic blood-drinking. Even if it's not in the story, the story almost has to be in dialog with the possibility.

You're just waiting for that moment when the characters are snowed in or imprisoned or hiding out in a safehouse or otherwise miles from the nearest blood bank and by Day Three the vampire starts to look a little paler than usual and the human nervously says, "Um ... if you wanted ... I could ..."

What if the vampire genuinely wasn't into it, though? What if it was like, "No, hey, you're my friend, and actually I have a bit of a crush on you, and the last thing I want to do is think of you as a food source. Do *you* want to neck with a hamburger? Or like passionately kiss someone and then eat one of their fingers?"

What if it ended up being the story of a vampire having to be game for a kink he didn't share?
