Behind his dimpled smile and sugary eyes lies a past of hardships. Zee lives aimlessly, hopping from job to job, unable to keep stable employment. But when he is invited to take a position at the prestigious Haven Hotel, Zee's life changes from a le...

"Why don't we kill Adisorn?"
"Wow," Nat leaned over the table and raised a brow at James, "That's a bit extreme, don't you think?"
"Well, he's not against killing any of us, is he?" James rolled his eyes, "I'm done being the one who's afraid."
Net sighed and ruffled James' hair before the latter quickly pulled away, letting Net's hand linger on his head for a second longer than never again.
Zee sighed as he crossed his legs, leaning his heavy head on NuNew's shoulder, "Let's not commit any crimes, alright? It might not mean anything to you vampires, but us humans can't risk that." His scoff was cheeky, almost appearing like a cute smile at the ridiculous sentiment, "Let's get this out of the way-I could care less about Adisorn. Whatever happens to him, I don't care. But... I still stand by what I told him." Zee glanced at NuNew and clenched a fist on his thigh, "As long as I can make Seeds for Nhu, I don't mind if I become a Blood Tree."
NuNew frowned and whipped his head to stare at Zee straight on, "You were supposed to tell Adisorn that you were backing out from that deal."
Zee pressed his lips tightly together and his shoulders jilted like they were being pulled up by puppet strings, "But I was the one to make it, afterall. It would be a lie to say that I disagreed with what I used to bargain with him."
NuNew pushed himself away from Zee, his arms holding himself together like a fragile puzzle, "But I don't like it."
"Nhu," Zee rolled his arms around the sofa's backing, letting his fingers crawl and tap NuNew's shoulder, "I'm not going to be alive as long as you are. I... Before I die, before our last touch and the last time you taste me... I want to leave you with something that can help you live on without me."
"You know I don't want to eat those Seeds."
"Nhu..."
NuNew flared his nose, his eyes narrowing with the sharpness of a blade, "I've survived all these years; I can make it without your Seeds. I just... I just need you with me now. I won't be able to live with myself to see and know your body is buried under a tree, without a proper grave."
"You can live on. I'll be okay. If anyone deserves to live on, it's you."
"You never listen to me," NuNew closed his eyes. "Net, it's you, right? The one making the Seeds?"
"Y- yes." Net's voice shook from the silence as he snapped out from his daze from watching the human and vampire in front of him.
"How many do you think you've already created from... from Zee's blood?"
Net cleared his throat, "Our next appointment would be in a few weeks, and after that... We'll have made about a thousand, plus or minus a few dozen."
"A thousand Seeds..." James' voice bled into the quiet of the room.
