It was a cold night in the middle of August. Jon and Evan had recently confessed their feelings to one another, and they were now on Evan's bed, cuddling.

"Hey, Ev?" Jon asked, running his hand through Evan's hair.

"Yes?" Evan asked, his eyes slowly opening.

"Do you think that maybe one day we can live together?" Jon stopped his hand and put it on his stomach.

"Jon, I really don't know. I want to, but you know we aren't supposed to be together."

"I- yeah. You're right," Jon sighed. "Why does your father think we killed your mother?"

"Because he saw a shadow-like figure escape through the window after my mother was bitten on the neck," Evan explained.

"So it was someone that tried to pretend they were a vampire. Why would they do that? It's not like we wanted to start an all-time war against humans. Maybe that's it. Maybe they wanted a war to happen. Maybe this is deeper than we thought. Maybe-"

"J-Jon? Jon, baby, you need to calm down. I need you to calm down, Jonny. Please," Evan pleaded.

Jon snapped out of his thoughts. "W-What happened?"

"You were muttering and then the castle started to shake."

"O-Oh. I- I'm sorry, Evy," Jon stuttered, looking up at the roof.

"Hey, look at me," Evan put his hand on Jon's cheek. "It wasn't your fault. You didn't do that on purpose."

"Okay, princess. I," Jon took a deep breath before looking Evan in the eyes and smiling. "I love you."

"I love you too."
