"There may be a way."
Brett and Eddy both turned around at the same time.
"There is?"
"Yes."
It was Brett's mother.
------------------------------------
"Boys... please sit down."
The two young men slowly sat back on the sofa, side by side, this time with a much lesser gap in between them.
As soon as he sat back down, Eddy raised his face and spoke first.
"Ma'am.. if there is any way my blood could be given to Brett indefinitely.. way into the future.. beyond my normal life expectancy.. Your.. your family has been so good to me, I'd do it if that means Brett could live..Whether that involves taking anything from me to make more of my blood for him somehow. I.. I'll do it Ma'am.."
Brett widened his eyes in surprise.
"Eddy..!! That's ridiculous, there is no way I could sacrifice you like that in what sounds like some kind of weird science experiment!! I don't care about eternal life anymore.. I... I just want to be with you and live the course of your mortal life with you. That would be enough for me."
Brett's mother shook her head.
"Brett.. as your parents, that would not be enough for us."
"Mother..."
"You are a vampire and you will live as one. As an immortal."
Brett's shook his head as he whispered;
"...But immortality is meaningless for me without Eddy."
Eddy turned to Brett dumbfounded;
"...What?"
Brett started to tear up again.
"Besides... to even want to be with you Eddy, till the end of your natural life, I realise I am asking for too much already... You would have to give up meeting a partner of your choice and starting your own family"
Eddy bit his lower lip. Being an orphan, Eddy always wanted to know what it was like to have a blood relative. To one day have his own child, to have someone he was connected by blood, had meant so much to him. Could he give that all up? Could he? If it was for Brett's survival?
Brett's mother addressed Eddy.
"Eddy, how much blood of that human girl did you drink?"
"I.. I don't remember ma'am.."
Brett's mother asked Brett this time;
"Brett.. did you think Eddy had enough to awaken himself?"
"No I doubt it Mother. I mean, he did have a substantial drink.. but it was his first one and he didn't drink all of her blood, I stopped him before her life was in any danger. So no, I doubt he's fully awakened yet. I would expect he'd have a subsequent craving."
"Okay.. so we may be able to complete his awakening with... another blood type."
"..What other blood type, Mother?"
"Yours, Brett."
Brett furrowed his eyebrows.
"...Mine?"
Eddy was equally confused. He stared at Brett as he asked;
"Yours?"
"Yes. Now he.. Eddy probably won't like it at first.. which could make it a distressing experience for the both of you. But if Eddy completes his blood awakening with your blood Brett, he's feeding off an immortal. Records say mortals can live indefinitely so long as they feed on an immortal."
"Oh wow.."
Eddy carefully interjected.
"Speaking of which... whatever happened to your blood awakening Brett? Haven't you been abstaining for more than a week now?"
"Oh yeah.."
There has been so much happening, particularly today, that Brett had completely forgotten about his own blood needs. His vampire needs have been neglected and starved. And it was now probably further suppressed due to the failed attempt of drinking the human girl's blood and from all the anxiety he felt about Eddy. It surprised him that he had no urges or cravings for blood at all despite Eddy sitting right next to him.
"Brett.. you also may have to experience a bit of an adjustment..."
Brett furrowed his brows as he looked up towards his mother;
"Me? With Eddy's blood? Why?"
"Because Eddy has had a large drink from that human girl and that will make his blood taste more like a human... And you don't like human blood."
"Oh, oh yeah. Oh no..."
"Don't worry, you have a good chance of liking Eddy's blood again. Once the human girl's blood leaves Eddy's system his taste should improve. In fact, you're so emotionally vested in Eddy, you may not even experience this issue. I'm just warning you in case you feel like rejecting him, it may come as a shock to both of you. Possibly more to you Brett."
"So Mother... Father.. you don't drink each other's blood..?"
Brett's father scoffed.
"Us!? Just what exactly are your implying, son!?"
Brett was taken aback by his father's harsh response.
"..I beg your pardon?"
"Are you trying to insult your parents!?"
"Father, I meant none of such..."
Brett's mother interjected.
"No, Brett.. we don't. We don't have to..nor do we have such desires since we're both immortal vampires who have grown up drinking human blood."
"Why is Father so upset about me asking..??"
"There is a social stigma towards vampires who drink each other's blood.. it's.. not a common practice and is often frowned upon.. in ancient times it was considered an unacceptable practice and wasn't tolerated..."
"Oh..."
Brett's father spat out;
"Even in modern times Brett.. you should know that it is still considered an unacceptable practice and not tolerated by many...."
Brett's mother interjected;
"Honey.. considering the dire situation our son is in.. I think we, as parents have to support him in whatever way we can for his eternal survival!!"
Brett looked at his mother in surprise. It was the first time he heard her use such a curt tone towards her husband.
