Brett bit his lower lip. He glanced at Eddy's neck.
"Anything?"
"Of course Brett. Anything."
Brett gave Eddy a hard stare.
"Eddy, then... I.. I wanna have another taste from you."
"W..what?"
"Your blood. I want another taste."
---------------------------------------
Eddy got up onto his elbows. He stammered in confusion.
"Brett, I.. I thought you didn't like the taste of my blood.."
"I... I didn't when I first tried it when I was 5. But more recently.. several months back when I tried it when you cut your finger..."
Eddy blushed.
"You.. liked it..?"
Brett furrowed his eyebrows.
"Eddy.. couldn't you tell?"
"I.. I was confused. I didn't know what was going on. ...I was scared."
"I didn't know what was going on either... Back when I was 5 when I bit into you, I hated it. My mother said you must be a farmed human and that's why you tasted bad. She thought your blood's been contaminated with additives and wasn't purely organic. But I've since tasted farmed or processed blood and those had a different taste. And when I had that little taste of your blood that day.. about 6 months ago, Eddy.. it was totally different. It tasted so... nice it seriously sent shivers down my spine. I wanna try your blood again."
Eddy sat in shock.
Brett blushed as he whispered.
"Eddy, to be honest... my taste for blood hasn't been fully awakened yet.. I haven't drunk enough to fully mature as a vampire even though I'm already 18. It's.. kinda embarrassing... My parents tried to start awakening me for blood on my 5th birthday like it's usually done for most vampire kids, but when I took my first blood from you it was a total disaster. And since then, my parents tried a few more times, but I've only ever been able to take a mouthful at best. I never liked it... Remember how I even found the wild strawberries awful?"
Eddy nodded.
"That night I the cook served wild strawberry tart for dessert. I gagged at the sight and smell of it. I lied to my parents that was probably coming down with a stomach bug or something to pass on desert...I've been worried for years that there must be something wrong with me.. but then I found your blood tasted so nice... so I've been wanting to try it again to see if I really like it...Please?"
Eddy shrugged.
"Brett, my fate was decided when I was bought by your parents from the market when I was 4 years old. As if I can object to what you want."
Brett stammered.
"Y..you can, Eddy. I don't want to force you to do anything that you don't want to do. That's why I'm asking you, please, if I could just have a taste.. just a little bit."
"Brett, I'm an unpalatable human living in your servants' quarters because of you and your parents' mercy. I don't know what's gotten into you but if you want to drink my blood you can just help yourself. As I said, I really have no say on the matter."
Brett looked saddened.
"Eddy.. why are you like this? Do you.. dislike me..?"
Eddy gave a surprised look. He then shook his head.
"Brett.. it has nothing to do with whether I like you or not. It's just my upbringing.. I've been brought up being told to fulfil whatever orders given by your parents.. and by you."
"So.. Eddy, you don't actually hate me for me asking you this?"
Eddy gave a wry smile.
"No Brett, I don't. We've practically grown up together and I know you've been sincere ever since you've known me."
Brett was lost for words to respond.
Eddy shrugged and broke the silence.
"So Brett.. did you want to do it like last time.. should I give myself a cut on my finger..?"
Brett looked up.
"N.. no.. I.. I want to do it.. like a vampire. ..From your ..neck."
Eddy widened his eyes. There was a look of apprehension and fear in his eyes. Then resolve.
Eddy started to unbutton his polo shirt.
Brett widened his eyes. He felt his cheeks burn.
"N, no! Not here!!"
Brett grabbed Eddy's hand, pulled him up with surprising strength, then ran, pulling him along the path to the nearest place Brett could find to have some privacy, the gardening shed of his parent's estate.
Brett panted, unsure whether it was from all the running or because of what he was about to do. He yanked open the door of the shed, pushed Eddy inside and followed, closing the door behind his back. He leaned on the door and closed his eyes then stammered;
"Okay.. so, Eddy.. please, just a little mouthful..."
Eddy was panting too. Brett was relieved that their panting must've come from the running they've just done and not from anything else. Absolutely not. Absolutely not from the anticipation of what he was about to do. Even though Brett knew deep down he was just lying to himself. And he most certainly didn't have any mental capacity left to consider whether Eddy was panting because he was nervous or scared.
If he was, Eddy certainly didn't show it.
Once Eddy's breathing settled, he stood straight and tall, as he undid the rest of the buttons on his polo shirt and tugged on his shirt collar to expose the base of his neck and collarbone.
Eddy's dark brown eyes were glassy as he stared at Brett. It reminded Brett of what they were like when they first met. Back then Eddy was only 4 years old and had already looked as if he had surrendered to his fate, he had the same look in his eyes now at age 17.
"Eddy...c..can you close your eyes, ..please?"
Eddy rolled his eyes.
"You don't have to ask so nicely Brett, just tell me what you want me to do."
Eddy closed his eyes.
Brett reached out towards Eddy. 13 years is a long time. Eddy, at 17 finally had his growth spurt in the last 6 months and had grown taller than 18 year old Brett. Brett wrapped his arms around Eddy's neck and pulled him downwards. Eddy flinched. As Brett was about to open his mouth, he saw Eddy's lips quivering.
Brett stammered.
"Eddy, I.. I'll be gentle, I promise"
Eddy grunted through gritted teeth;
"Brett.. please.. just get it over and done with.. "
