Nick sat silently in the corner of his and Jeff's shared dorm where shade covered him, awaiting the sunset. Being a vampire was new to him but he knew the basics. Sunlight is a no. He also knew he couldn't tell Jeff. Jeff is so fragile and this would kill him. Nick debated whether it would actually matter. Jeff has no interest in Nick the way he'd hope. Nick has been inlove with Jeff for almost three years now but Jeff has a girlfriend. Something always annoyed Nick about her. Just her aura and the way she kind of resented Jeff.
The sun had finally gone down and Nick prepared his bags. It was easy considering his new speed. Grabbing the last bag he headed for the door. Dropping one bag to open the door he found it had already been open by a worn-out Jeff. Sweat glistened from his smooth skin and Nick could hear the hiccup in Jeff's breath when he saw his friend leaving.
A small tear welled in Jeff's eye as he asked,"Were you going to tell me?"
Nick could feel the anger and hurt in his friends voice. He had to leave though. He has seen the movies. He knew his thirst for blood will take the worst of him and Jeff is so innocent.
"Tell you what?" Nick played dumb. He wants Jeff to remember him how he was. Silly, playful and never serious.
"Fuck Nick!" Jeff spat as he pushed the tear away, only anger in his voice. "You seriously think pretending you don't know what's going on is smart?"
Nick was shocked. Jeff never swears. Not around Nick. His eyes stayed wide as he stared at the ground, processing words to say.
"Look, Nick? I'm sorry." Jeff's voice softened," I have had a terrible day"
Nick looked up at his friend. Suddenly everything was running in slow motion as Jeff walked towards his bed. Nick could hear pounding but hesitated knowing it wasn't his heart. Nick is dead it can't possibly be his. He turned to Jeff who was stretching, facing sideways. He could see the vain in Jeff's neck. Slowly moving his gaze towards Jeff's jugular.
"Seriously, Nick, why are you leaving?" Jeff asked.
Nick didn't say anything, still staring at Jeff.
"Nick..? Three?" Jeff was concerend.
Nick couldn't hear his friend anymore. He moved closer, slowly disagreeing with his feet. He was close enough to feel Jeff's heartbeat. He stood in silence then awoke from his trance. Nick moved his mouth but no words came out. He ran for the door, leaving his bags. He had to escape.
