2nd Person's POV

"For a vampire, you sure look anemic," you greeted William as you walked into the garden, watching him enjoy tea while wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and long sleeves.

"Good afternoon to you as well, (Y/N)," William calmly greeted as he sipped his tea.

"Isn't it dangerous for you to be outside even if the sun's setting?" you asked, using your shadow to shield him from the sunlight.

"It's fine. I put on some sunscreen earlier, and a little sunlight every once in a while is not so bad," William reassured, making you hum as you sat across from him.

"Well, you look very pretty," you grinned, earning an unamused look from William as he kept his smile.

"What brings you here today?" he asked as he poured you a cup.

You shrugged your shoulders, tapping the cup lightly as you stared inside.

"Just wanted to visit..." you answered, taking a sip as William observed you.

"Nothing else?"

"Nope," you confirmed, focusing on drinking the tea.

"...He cheated on you, didn't he?" he asked, making you freeze as you set down the cup.

"Five times! Can you believe that asshole!?" you scoffed in anger as William poured you another cup, lending an ear.

"Ugh, I swear every decent guy is either dead, gay, or taken..." you muttered in despair with your face flat on the table as William listened to your woes.

"Sounds difficult," William mused, drinking from his cup as you looked up at him.

"Can't you introduce me to someone? Maybe a descendant of a friend of yours?" you joked, making William breathe out a smile.

"Unfortunately, no," he answered, making you sigh in disappointment.

"May I ask why you are in such a hurry to meet someone?" he asked, making you raise a brow.

"Don't people get married and have kids really young in your time?"

"Perhaps I can give you a history lesson during your next visit,"

"Never mind!" you quickly turned away, remembering the math lecture he gave you last time.

You let out a deep sigh as you nursed your teacup, "I swear I'm going to die alone..." you grumbled, sliding down to the table.

"Hm... I'll be sure to visit," William monotonously added, making you scoff as you threw the table napkin at him.

"You are no help at all!" you chuckled, making William smile as he effortlessly caught the napkin with a smile.

"Now, will you answer my question?" he asked, making you stop and bite your lip.

You dragged out a sigh as you sank into your arms.

"I don't know... Everyone around me has been getting married and having kids, and it... it just feels like I'm falling behind," you answered, making William look at you solemnly.

"(Y/N)-"

"And I know everyone goes at their own pace... but I just want to be with someone, you know? Don't you?" you asked, catching William by surprise.

"What? Don't you have a special someone?" you half-jokingly asked, making him awkwardly smile.

"I did... but that's all in the past now," he confirmed, surprising you.

"...Sorry," you sheepishly apologized, making William chuckle.

"Don't worry, it's been years... And they died of old age," he reassured, perking your ears.

"What were they like?" as you asked William, the alarm on your phone went off.

"Ah, shit... Sorry, let's continue this tomorrow," you hastily said as you fixed yourself.

"You're welcome to visit anytime you wish," William reassured, waving goodbye as you rushed out of the garden.

"But hey!" you shouted, catching William's attention, "Maybe they got reincarnated? Maybe we can try to find them tomorrow!" you suggested, waving goodbye as you rushed out of the manor, not wanting to deal with the late-night traffic.

William breathed out a smile as he watched your retreating figure, a solemn smile on his face as he kept his eyes on you.

"Seriously... They haven't changed at all,"
