"I can't let you go." Luke mumbled against Ashton's neck.
Ashton just frowned lightly when he heard Luke's voice, he was suffering and he couldn't bring himself to look or even let out a sound of protest. Luke didn't even bit or touched him today but he was still suffering and his heart was beating loudly against his ribcage. He felt the same burn he felt for the last few days and he felt numb, he spent most of the day with his eyes closed but wide awake and feeling every painful muscle in his body.
"Come on human, fight me." Luke placed his lips on Ashton's warm neck.
Ashton closed his eyes again and just wish it will all be over already so he could have some peace and some painless moments.
Luke sighed and pulled himself up, slapping Ashton's cheek and making him open his eyes.
"Just so you know, this is what dying looks like,"
Ashton took a deep breathe befor collecting his energy and saying what he needed all day.
"Water."
"Water won't help you."
Ashton closed his eyes again and Luke rolled his. He stood up and went to his kitchen to pour Ashton a glass. When he came back, he pulled Ashton to sit and then gave him the glass.
Ashton held it in his palms for a few moments and then brought it slowly to his lips.
He gave Luke the glass and closed his eyes again, earning another groan from Luke.
"You're no fun when you're dying." Luke stood up.
He knew Ashton was dying and he knew that if he will bite him, he won't survive. He was too weak in order to survive another bite and Luke was too addicted to his blood in order to give up to his desire and then lose the human boy for the long range, he needed him alive and with blood running in his veins.
He grabbed Ashton by his wrists and tried pulling him to stand but Ashton was weak and he used the little strength he had to resist Luke and just keep laying.
He pulled him to stand forcely and when Ashton didn't use his legs to stand, Luke just tossed him on his shoulder and walked outside.
Ashton wanted to tell him to leave him alone but his mouth was dry and the water he drank moment ago didn't help.

"He's not human."
"I already know that."
"And his other half in definitely immortal."
"For sure?"
"For sure." Rey nodded.
"Where is he now?"
"Passed out somewhere in the house."
"If otheres will find out, he's going to be a target."
"He's already a target. He smells like a human."
"How come he's dying now? Why didn't it happen befor?" Luke took another sip from his bottle of blood.
"He had leftovers of some kind of pills, I'm guessing it was meant to keep his powers down. And you gave him your blood so maybe it was the trigger."
"So how do I make him not die?"
"Why do you need him alive?"
"Because of his blood."
"It is addicting." Rey spoke and Luke stared at him with narrowed eyes.
"You tasted the blood?"
"Of course."
"Can I trust you Rey?"
"You know you can."
"So keep this to yourself."
"I didn't think otherwise."
"So how do I keep him alive?"
"Give him the pills or help him control his powers. Its floating him at once because it was kept down for years."
"I don't have those pills."
"So the powers."
"Dammit." Luke muttered.
"I can't do that." Luke looked at Rey again.
"Good things don't come for free Luke, you want to keep enjoying his blood so help him maintain his powers."
"I'm not a fucking trainer."
"So let him die." Rey shrugged.
"Its best anyway," Rey took a sip from his own drink.
"And why is that?" Luke tilted his head slightly.
"The second he's out of your house, he's dead. He needs protection, do you really want to start fighting with otheres about protection of a teenage human? That boy will only bring troubles."
"I can keep him without involving troubles. And I think I proved I'm strong enough to do the fuck I want in this world."
"You're also very arrogant,"
"That's not new either." Luke smiled arrogantly.
Rey stood up and a laugh left his lips, "Want me to take a look at him befor I leave?"
"He's in the living room."
Rey walked into the living room and spotted Ashton laying on the couch, looking horrible.
"He's suffering." Rey touched his forehead.
"I know." Luke stood in the doorway of the living room.
"I would have redeem him from his misery."
"I'm not you." Luke spoke, reminding Rey just how cruel he is.
"Well I already told you what to do." Rey walked toward Luke and walked past him, walking out of the house and leaving.
