Heart of a Vampire

Regret

"Keeeeeith, I'm hungry!" Lance whined as he entered Keith's bedroom.

"Okay." Keith put his book down and walked over to the vampire. He took off his black cardigan and reached out his wrist towards him.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Lance asked, slowly backing away.

"You're hungry, right?"

"Nononono, I'm not drinking human blood!" Lance waved his hands as he stepped back.

"Then don't think of me as a human. Most of the time, I don't feel like one." Keith shrugged.

"But-"

Keith grabbed the back of Lance's head and pressed the vampire's nose against his wrist. He couldn't help but take a long whiff, taking in the smell of fresh blooding coursing through his veins.

Without thinking, Lance stuck his fangs into Keith's wrist, making him whimper in pain. The vampire couldn't stop himself from drinking the blood.

Once he finished drinking, Lance snapped out of his and pulled his teeth out. There was blood where he had bit the witch. Keith let out his breath, relieved that he was done.

"Oh no fucking god, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to! I'll never do it again!" Lance begged, tears streaming out of his eyes.

"It's okay... could you grab me some gaze in... the bathroom." Keith sounded like he was going to pass out.

"Okay, stay here!" Lance ran into the bathroom and came back into the room within seconds. The vampire handed him the gaze, and Keith wrapped it around the injury.

Keith had grabbed an amethyst from nearby and held it above the injury. The blood was slowly soaking through. Lance was starting to drool at the sight of it.

"Magic mend and candle burn, sickness end, good health return."

The witch put down the amethyst and unraveled the wound. Once it was off, it looked like nothing had happened to begin with.

"I thinhk... I think I'm goinyg to... tho pass outc." Keith suddenly lost his balance, but Lance quickly caught him.

"Wha-? What happwened..?"

"You almost fainted." Lance nervously chuckled.

"Losing bloowd is nrot as bakd as di thought it would be."

"Okay, I think you need to lie down, mullet."

"What's aa mulelt?"

Lance carried Keith in a bridal style and took him to his bed. Almost immediately, the witch fell unconscious.

The vampire giggled as he tucked him in; the moment Lance exited the room, he started panicking. Lance sat on the ground and hugged his knees.

"Does this happen to everyone?! What if I killed him?! Is he like a lightweight with losing blood? His blood tasted so good. Do humans have different flavors? What am I doing?! I seriously cannot be thinking that!"

My boy, Keith, will be alright.

"How?! I literally drank his blood straight from his arm!"

When you were drained, you woke up shortly after. Keith will do the same.

"Is he going to be a vampire too?!"

No, a vampire would choose if they wanted to transform the human.

"Oh, okay, good." Lance took a breath of relief.
