________________________________________________________________
Itâs almost been two months now that Iâve known him. One sad drunken night I met a guy at a bar just looking as sad as I was and started a conversation with him. Turned out he was really nice and we exchanged numbers that night. We kept on meeting each other every now and then and ended up being best friends. Sometimes we would go out and watch a movie or just hang at my place playing games or doing some other silly stuff. I was really glad that I had found Keith that drunken night.
Today was one of those days where we would just chill at my place. I was watching TV while I was waiting for him to arrive. The doorbell rang and I walked to the front door. It opened with a quiet squeak and a very handsome looking young man stood in front of me.
âCome inâ, I said and opened the door wider so that he didnât have to squeeze through.
Keith instantly walked to the couch and let himself fall onto it while I closed the door and walked back to the living room. He looked at me with a smile and grabbed the remote to zap through the programs.
âI see youâre making yourself a home alreadyâ, I teased and laughed at the look on his face.
âMaybe thatâs because Iâm almost spending more time here than at homeâ, he said and chuckled.
âSo can I bring you something? Are you hungry?â
As he heard my question he jumped up from the sofa and looked at me with puppy eyes. Keith and his love for food. Unbelievable.
âIâm starving. Could you make something nice to eat?â, he said and looked at me pleading.
âWhatâs the magic word?â, I asked with both hands on my hips.
âPleeeeeeeaaaaseâ, he whined and folded his hands in front of his chest.
He showed his best puppy eyes and pouted. He reminded me of a child begging for candy. I couldnât say no to that cute look on his face.
âOk. But only cause itâs youâ, I said and winked at him.
He showed me the biggest smile and turned his gaze back to the tv. I walked into the kitchen and started to get things ready for home made pizza. I knew that Keith loved homemade food and pizza was one of his favourite dishes. I placed all the ingredients on the kitchen counter and started to chop some onions. Iâm normally very skilled with knifes, it doesnât matter how small or huge they are. But today was my unlucky day. The knife slipped away from the onion and straight into my finger.
âOwâŚFuckâ, I cursed and let go of the knife.
It fell clattering to the floor. Just after that Keith rushed into the kitchen.
âHey are you ok?â, he asked looking at me with panicking eyes.
âYeah. Just cut myself. Nothing severe.â, I answered and grabbed a papertowel to press against the wound.
âAre you sure?â, he asked and walked towards me.
He looked at the blood on the floor that had dripped from the knife and my finger. His facial expression changed and he rushed over to me just in time to grab me while I was nearly collapsing. Keith held me near to his chest and looked at me trying to figure out if I was able to stand on my own.
âIâll help youâ, he said, walked with me to the bathroom and sat me down on the edge of the bathtub.
He grabbed the papertowel and threw it in the trash after looking at it for a bit too long. He then took some pieces of toilet paper and pressed them onto the wound again. I noticed that he was trembling and put my not injured hand on his shoulder.
âAre you afraid of seeing blood? Youâre trembling all overâ, I asked him and he shook his head.
âNo. Donât worry about me. Iâm more worried about you.â, he said and tried to dab the blood away, but it just kept on bleeding.
He seemed to get even more nervous now. Keith looked at me and then around the room.
âThere are some band-aids in the drawer. That should stop the bleeding.â, I suggested and he nodded.
âUhmâŚjust keep this pressed to the wound in the meantimeâ, he said and went to look for a band-aid.
He turned back to me, holding the searched tool in his shaking hands and took the bloody toilet paper away. He then put the band-aid on carefully trying not to hurt me. I wanted to stand up but instantly lost my balance and sat back down on the bathtub.
âYou better stay here for a bit until you regain your balance. I donât want you to collapse hereâ, he advised me and playfully pet my head.
âIâll be in the kitchen cleaning up your messâ, Keith said and I nodded.
He walked out of the room and left me alone to regain the power to stand up again. After some time I tried to stand again. I still felt a bit dizzy but I was ok. I decided to see what Keith was doing and walked into the kitchen. As I walked into the room I stopped.
âKeith? What are you doing?â, I asked looking at him with shocked eyes.
He held the slightly bloody knife in one hand. His other hand was covered in a bit of my blood and he licked it off his fingers. As I called out to him he looked at me with a surprised look. His normally brown eyes glowed in a bloody red colour and through his slightly opened mouth I could see a pair of fangs. I needed to grab the doorframe so that I wouldnât collapse again. My best friend, the person I trusted the most in this world was a vampire. I couldnât understand. Why did he never tell me? He let go of the knife and dropped it into the sink. He then sank to his knees and turned his head away from me.
âDonât look at me. Iâm so sorryâ, he said and I started to walk towards him.
âDonât come closer. I donât know what Iâll do if you come any closer. Iâm scared to hurt you. Please donât come here.â, he pleaded and I heard in his voice that he was about to cry.
âYouâre not gonna hurt me, Keith. I trust you. You would never hurt meâ, I tried to calm him a bit and walked over to him.
âI said STAY AWAY!!!â, he shouted and turned his face to me.
Tears streamed down his face and his whole body was shaking. I kneeled down behind him and put my arms carefully around his shoulders. His body tensed and he tried to push me away but I kept pressing his back to my chest.
âEverythingâs ok, Keith. Calm down. Nothing will happen to me and youâre ok tooâ, I whispered in his ear and felt his body relax a bit under my touch.
âI can hear your blood rush through your veins. Itâs hypnotising me. I donât want to hurt youâ, he sobbed and then bit his own hand.
I observed his doing and noticed that he was slowly calming down. We sat there on the floor for about 15 minutes until Keith stopped the bleeding of his own hand with just one lick. It looked as if there has never been a wound in the first place.
âAre you ok?â, he asked me and placed his hands on my arms that were still resting around his shoulders.
âYes I am. The more important question isâŚare you ok? You scared me there for a bitâ, I confessed and he turned his body to face me.
âIâm so sorry I put you in danger. Iâm still not able to control my bloodthirst when thereâs blood near me. Iâm so glad that youâre okâ, he explained and pulled me into a hug.
âWhy did you never tell me that youâre a vampire?â, I asked him and separated from the hug.
He looked deep into my eyes and a slight blush appeared on his cheeks.
âI was scared that you would abandon me after knowing that Iâm a bloodsucking monster. Most people fear vampires and avoid us. I didnât want to lose youâ, he confessed and shyly looked away.
âIt doesnât matter to me if youâre a human being or a vampire. You are still the same Keith to me no matter what you really are. You donât have to fear that Iâm leaving youâ, I explained to him and showed him an honest smile.
âThank youâ, he whispered and a single tear left his eye and ran down his cheek.
I reached my hand out to brush the tear away. Keith blushed at the sudden skin contact and then took my hand away from his hand.
âWhy did you bite yourself?â, I asked curious.
âVampires can spread a calming substance when we bite someone. And because I didnât want to hurt you I had to calm myself down like that.â
âAnd how did you seal that wound? I canât even see a mark on your handâ
âVampire saliva can numb and heal small parts of the body. Thatâs why people who get bitten by a vampire normally donât feel any pain while they feed on them unless they were attacked by oneâ, he explained.
I was fascinated by what vampires were capable of. I never really wanted to know more about vampire because Iâve never met one but now that Keith turned out to be one of them it really made me curious.
âCan you tell me more about your kind?â, I asked and Keith smiled at me.
âSure. But letâs change to the couch. The floor is getting quite hardâ, he laughed and we both stood up walking over to the living room.
âSo what do you want to know?â, he asked and I thought about what to ask him first.
âHow do you feed? Like I meanâŚdo youâŚyou knowâŚkill?â, I asked realizing how dark my question was.
âWHAT? NO! OF COURSE NOT!â, he exclaimed and looked at me shocked.
I sighed relieved and let him continue to talk.
âI only feed on blood bags. I never feed on humans. I never actually tried fresh blood. Maybe thatâs why my body went crazy when I tasted your bloodâ, he confessed and blushed again.
âSo how does my blood taste?â, I asked with a grin on my face.
âUhmâŚitâsâŚI donât really know how to explain it really. It tastes pretty sweet to me but vampires have a different taste for blood that humans. You will probably just notice a metallic taste but itâs much more for us vampires. You could say that we have specialised taste buds for blood. But I actually really liked you blood.â
I was listening closely to his words. It was astonishing what mother nature was capable of creating. Even though his confessing sounded weird I felt happy in some kind of way. At least he enjoyed my blood and wasnât disgusted.
âIs it weird to ask if I can take a look at your fangs?â, I asked and he shook his head.
âNo, itâs not. You can look at them but be careful. If you just hurt yourself on them by accident there is no turning back for the two of us.â
âWhat will happen then?â
âOnce a vampire bites a human he will only be able to feed on that person. And that contract only breaks when the human dies. I donât want to put that burden on you and I especially donât want to kill youâ, he explained with a serious face and I nodded.
âI will be very careful. I promiseâ
Keith then leaned over and opened his mouth. I cupped his face and let a finger run over his sharp and pointy teeth. As my finger got too close to the pointy end he moved his face away from me. Just after that I heard a loud growl of both our stomachs and we both started to laugh.
âI think I should get back to preparing the pizzaâ, I said and wanted to stand up but Keith pushed me back down onto the couch.
âIâll do that. I donât want you to cut yourself again, my clumsy best friendâ, he explained and smiled at me.
âWell then you better hurry before I start to eat you, my little vampireâ, I teased and winked at him.
