Jake's POV:


"I don't trust you."


Those words from Chris struck me like a dagger to the heart. Was it wrong to be a vampire? Was it wrong to seek friendship with a human? Could I truly change my ways for the sake of someone like him? Questions swirled in my mind as I sat on the staircase, my head bowed, and for the first time in a century, tears welled in my eyes and cascaded down my cheeks.


Chris' POV:


I couldn't bear to hear Jake's sobbing. Guilt gnawed at me for not giving him a chance to prove himself to me. After a moment of hesitation, I realized that he was, after all, still a human in his own right, albeit a very different kind of human.


I returned to his side, sitting behind him on the stairs.


"Shush, Jake. Don't cry. I forgive you. I'll give you a chance," I said, patting his back in an attempt to comfort him.


He looked up at me, his eyes glistening with gratitude, and then something unexpected happened.


Jake's POV:


I looked up at Chris, and in that moment, my emotions overcame me.


I leaned in and kissed him.


It was the most unexpected, daring thing I had ever done with a man. His lips were soft and inviting, a taste as sweet as cake, and a texture as soft as a marshmallow.


I pulled away, our lips parting, and I saw his eyes widen in surprise. His mouth slowly fell open, and it was clear that he was trying to process what had just happened.


As he realized my lips were no longer against his, he abruptly stood up and rushed towards the door labeled '8th floor,' disappearing into his apartment.


The taste of his lips, sweet as cherries, lingered in my memory. It was the best kiss I had experienced in my entire, immortal life.
