Author's Notes- Okay, I really thought I'd never update this fic, but look what happened, everyone enjoy, and let me know of any ideas.
"Y- you're… you're, you're alive." he whispered, staring at Merton.
"Well actually-" Tommy grabbed Merton in a bear hug. "I'm undead." came the rest of the sentence muffled by Tommy's shoulder.
Tommy let Merton go and before either could blink, kissed him. Merton yanked back.
"What was that?"
"Well don't quote me Merton, but I think it was a kiss." Tommy replied.
Merton nodded numbly.
"Now what did you say?" Tommy asked.
"I'm a vampire.' Merton repeated.
"But how, I mean I know how vampires are made, but how…"
"Hang on, I'll explain."
Merton spent the next 20 minutes or so explaining what he had gone through, the waking up in his coffin, digging himself out, the beginnings of his journal, and this is where Merton hesitated, should he tell Tommy he had heard what Tommy had said about loving him? That kiss spoke volumes, but Merton was still kinds iffy on that so he left it alone for now, let Tommy tell him when he was ready.
"I still don't know who did this or why. All I can remember is that it's a woman and she had black hair."
Tommy nodded they'd figure that out later, for now they'd deal with more pressing maters, like where Merton was going to stay. "Look, you can stay here for the rest of the night, but we really need to find you a place to live, you can't exactly go back home."
At the mention of home, Merton asked Tommy if he could go back to the Lair and pack up some of his stuff, the journal, and of course all of the stuff that he had kept on Tommy.
"Sure, just write down what you want, I'll get it in the morning."
Merton nodded his thanks and after Tommy was asleep, began writing his list.
The next morning Tommy awoke to find the list taped to his mirror along with a note and Merton gone. Tommy snatched up the list and read the note.
"Tommy-
Good Morning sleepyhead, here's the list of stuff I need, and don't worry about me, I'm hiding for the day, since I don't know if I can withstand sunlight yet. I'll see you back here after sunset; destroy the list and note after you get what's needed.
-Merton"
Tommy looked at the list. Clothes, various books, weapons, his back up laptop, the vampire journal he had started, and all his writing on Tommy. Tommy was lucky, all of that was on CD-ROM, which is why Merton wanted the laptop, it'd all be real easy to get. Tommy took off for the Lair and a few hours later returned, setting all of Merton's stuff on his desk and bed.
After dinner, Tommy was in his room, waiting for Merton to show up. Merton jumped up to Tommy's window and knocked. Tommy opened it and invited Merton in.
"You don't need to do that, I could come in anyway."
"So why'd you knock?"
"Just being polite."
Tommy shut the window and drew the shade.
"Did you get it all?" Merton asked.
Tommy nodded. "Yeah, I did. Merton where did you stay during the day, as a matter of fact, where are you going to stay from now on? You can't stay here, it's too risky."
"I spent the day at the Factory, since they're not open during the day, and have no windows. As for where I'm staying from now on, I don't know. This all requires research and study which is why I requested half of this stuff."
Merton went on in that vein (pun intended) for a while, when Tommy noticed something. Merton was looking at his neck.
"Merton…"
Merton didn't hear him and kept going.
"Merton!" Tommy growled, keeping it low so his family wouldn't hear.
"What Tommy?" Merton asked, tearing his eyes away from Tommy's neck.
"You're staring at my neck."
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes you were. Have you eaten yet?" Tommy asked.
Merton shook his head no. Tommy offered to feed him.
"Tommy, I can't do that! We have no idea how I'll react. I've never bitten a human, let alone a werewolf."
"Then let's find out, that's what the journals for right?"
"Well yeah, but still…"
"But nothing, you need to eat."
And with that, Tommy stepped up to Merton and tilted his head to the side. Merton looked at Tommy's smooth tan neck and realized how hungry he was. He as gently as possible took Tommy in his arms and feeling his fangs slide out whispered, "This might hurt, I'm sorry if it does." Before either could change their minds, Merton pierced Tommy's flesh, and feasted on the crimson liquid splashing down his throat.
Tommy stood there silently while Merton fed. He didn't know why Merton said this might hurt, except for when Merton first bit him, it didn't hurt at all. As a matter of fact, it felt rather nice, and Tommy couldn't help the soft moan of pleasure he felt from falling from his lips. Merton heard Tommy's moan and lapped at the bite slowly with the tip of his tongue in response, 'causing another moan to be heard.
Merton pulled away slowly, licking the bite to encourage it to heal. He then titled his face towards Tommy's and kissed him, the taste of blood and passion sliding on his tongue and fangs. Tommy gasped slightly, but willingly kissed Merton back and just as passionately, if not more.
