Brett felt so torn and hurt, he felt like crying.

"Eddy.. just stop..!! Please!! Just.. shut up..!!!"

Eddy flinched and cast his glance towards Brett.

Brett glared at Eddy.

Eddy stammered.

"I..I'm sorry, Brett, I've overspoken.. ."

"You.. sure have Eddy..."

Brett grabbed Eddy's hand and pulled him along the path.


-------------------------------------


"Brett.. I.. I'm sorry..!!"

Brett grit his teeth as he snapped back.

"Eddy... just.. shut your mouth.. you..you're in so much trouble now..!!"

It was all an excuse.

Brett was just using his unjustified anger to muster up false courage to go ahead with the plan he had been wanting to execute for so long. The plan he had failed 3 days ago.

They arrived at the woods of the estate's property. Brett kept walking, pulling Eddy into the forest. When Brett felt certain they were in the woods deep enough that they would not be spotted, he stopped and turned around. His stern gaze immobilized Eddy.

"Eddy.. I want a mouthful. Just one."

With one look at Eddy's wry smile, Brett's hard exterior crumbled. Brett stammered;

"Eddy, I know I said I regard you as a friend. I wasn't lying when I said that and I still mean it. But.. this is .. different. It's a favour I'm asking you. Please..."

Eddy shrugged.

"It's okay.. You're a vampire.. I.. I understand."

With his index finger, Eddy pulled the collar of his T shirt to expose the base of his neck.

Brett, feeling dizzy already just by looking at Eddy's neck managed to stammer another request;

"N... not that side.. the other.. your left side..please.."

Eddy shrugged and this time used his left hand to pull his shirt to expose his left collarbone.

This side would be closer to Eddy's heart.

Brett saw the base of Eddy's slender neck and his protruding collar bone. He couldn't help let out a gasp and open his mouth. In his previous attempt, he had tried  his best not to frighten Eddy by ensuring Eddy would not see his fangs, Brett had done this by moving in close to Eddy before opening his mouth. This time, however, Brett wasn't thinking straight and as he stood in front of Eddy he had let his mouth open agape.  His fangs protruded and glistened in the slither of sunlight that came through the canopy of the forest. When Eddy saw Brett's fangs, his eyes widened with fear momentarily. He then closed his eyes tightly and nodded.

Brett reached out for Eddy's shoulders and pulled him in towards him so that their chests made contact. Brett didn't hesitate this time. He angled his head and sank his fangs into Eddy's neck. He only had to initiate a little suction with his lips and the blood started flowing into his mouth. He felt Eddy's chest drumming against his own, soon they were beating in sync, faster and faster as the blood was gushing out of his bite to the rhythm of their heartbeats, the most delicious blood he had ever tasted, why did it taste so good when he remembered how awful that experience was when he was 5 years old?

Brett was so taken by the blissful taste of Eddy's blood, he couldn't stop. He was suckling like a baby animal at the base of Eddy's neck. Tightening the grip of his hands had on Eddy, one at the back of his head and the other on his shoulder. He knew he had taken more than a mouthful, way way more. He felt he couldn't get enough of it. He didn't want to stop...

Brett's eyes shot open.

He will die if I don't stop...!!

He stammered in between his shallow breaths and deep sucking;

"Eddy. !! Push me..!! Push me away Eddy, please, make me stop..!!"

Eddy grunted as he pushed Brett as hard as he could. Brett staggered away from Eddy, fangs still showing covered in blood, red dribbling down from the corner of his mouth to his chin. Naturally pale, Brett's beautiful complexion was now accentuated by the flushed cheeks he acquired from the fresh blood he had just consumed.

Eddy had two streams of blood from the base of his neck from the puncture wounds Brett made in his skin. He staggered a few steps, then his shoulder slammed into a tree, he then slid down along it and fell to his knees. He was pale as a sheet.

"Eddy... oh no Eddy .. are you okay?"

Eddy was too groggy to answer. He couldn't even stay up on his knees. He swayed, then fell onto his side, only managing to keep the palm of his hand on the bite by Brett. He gazed towards Brett from where he lay on the ground.

"..Thank you for allowing me to stop you Brett..."

Brett rushed over and fell down to his knees next to Eddy. He tried to blink back his tears.

"OMG Eddy.. I'm.. so sorry..."

Eddy's eyes were still glazed over and dull as he whispered;

"You.. liked it..?"

"Eddy.. I'm so sorry.. I liked it too much.. it was... so.. good..I couldn't stop. Thank you for stopping me."

"Why.. why did you make me stop you?"

Brett wailed.

"Oh f*ck Eddy, I.. I didn't want to kill you..!!"

Eddy gave a wry smile.

"Brett, you're not supposed to worry about things like that..."

Brett laid down beside Eddy. He then reached out his arms and wrapped them around the younger.

"I wouldn't know what I'd do if you died.. I.. I'd miss you too much.."

Eddy gazed at Brett and chuckled;

"You mean you'll miss the taste of my blood..."

"No!! That's not what I meant Eddy!! Honest!!"

Eddy closed his eyes.

"Either way Brett.. whether you still want me around for my blood or for companionship, it's probably best not to drink every single drop in one go..."

Lying together on the ground in the forest, Brett kept holding Eddy in his arms.

"I know.. I'm so sorry Eddy... And you're right.. I do have to learn to control myself.."

Deep down, Brett dreaded his weak heart that he could not promise to stop altogether.  He knew the temptation was way too strong that he would not be able to resist it.
