When Erwin woke again, he was being cradled in Caleb’s arms.
His eyes slowly slid open and immediately focused on Caleb’s worried face. Even though his mind was foggy, his face stung, and his body ached, he felt nothing but relief in that moment.
“Erwin?” Caleb asked and Erwin nearly broke at the sound. Caleb was real—this was all real. He was back.
“It’s me,” Erwin croaked out. His throat ached—probably from all of the screaming the Mother had been doing. “I’m still me.”
“It’s you,” Caleb said, his voice heavy with relief. “Thank god.”
Caleb pulled him close, wrapping his arms tighter around Erwin. Erwin quickly returned the embrace, holding tightly to the vampire as if he would disappear at any moment. He squeezed his eyes shut as he took in the moment, memorizing every detail from the feeling of the vampire’s rough denim jacket to the faint scent of blood and plant matter clinging to Caleb’s being. He let out a long, shuddering breath as he tucked his face into the crook of the vampire’s neck. It was over. It was all finally over.
“It’s good to really see you,” he nearly sobbed into Caleb’s neck. The vampire just held him tighter.
