Sorry for the extremely long break between writing but I was in Europe studying for the last five months.

It didn't take long for Wufie and Merion to move in their stuff. For being several hundred years old they certainly did not accumulate many belongings. The whole process only took a few hours and the night was still young.

"So how about showing me this club of yours Heero?" Wufie asked.

"I'd love to." Heero replied.

The four went over to the club. It was one of the few nights that Duo's and Trowa's band wasn't playing. Heero gave the two new vamps the grand tour. The next night the club would be closed for a private party that Quatre would be taking care of and Heero had plans to spend the night with Trowa. Actually he was supposed to go on a double date with Duo and Hilde. He was looking forward to it in that dead man walking kind of way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next night Heero rang Trowa's doorbell at nine sharp. The three others all got into Heero's car. They were going to the movies and than afterwards they were going out for coffee. Hilde and Duo road in the back seat while Trowa had shotgun, the night was starting off slow and there was an awkward silence in the car.

"I hired some new help at the club." Heero said. "I think all three of you will like them. They are husband and wife and old friends of Quatre and me."

As Heero said 'old' Trowa caught the wink Heero gave him. So did Duo who didn't understand what it meant but guessed it must be an inside joke between Heero and Trowa and he stored it away in his head to ask Trowa later.

They were going to see some generic action movie with little plot but many explosions. They all enjoyed the film and when it was over they headed to a restaurant for coffee and dessert. They were conversing about the movie when someone walked up to their table. The man was tall and pale. He had red hair and brown eyes. He gave duo the creeps when he looked at him. The man turned towards Heero and handed him an envelope with Quatre's name printed on it. The man then walked away without a word.

"What was that about?" Duo asked.

"I don't know. The letter is addressed to Quatre. I'll give it to him later tonight when I see him." Heero replied.

After about another hour of eating and talking everyone was ready to call it a night. Heero took Duo and Hilde home and Trowa went back to Heero's house. The drive to Heero's was very quiet. Niether boy wanted to ruin the nice calm car ride, but Trowa knew something odd was going on. When they finally made it into the house, and were comfortably sitting on the couch Trowa asked Heero about the letter and the strange man.

Heero explained to Trowa about the council and how they wanted Quatre to join. Heero left out the part that he got the information from Trieze. He only said that Wufie told him. Trowa took this all in.

"Is Quatre going?" Trowa asked.

"He'll have to eventually. But our concept of time is different than for humans. Our urgent can be within a couple of years or weeks. It depends on who the letter is from and until Quatre opens it I don't know what kind of time frame we have to work with." Heero explained.

"You said we." Trowa said.

"What?" asked Heero.

"You said we. You are planning to go with Quatre when he leaves." Trowa stated.

It was not a question so Heero answered what he thought Trowa was asking. "I would like for you to come with us, but it is forbidden for humans to come. Only vampires can go live at the council. What we have now even puts you at danger. Mortals cannot know we exist. It's one of our cardinal rules. No one can break it."

Trowa just looked at Heero and squeezed his hand. The two boys continued to sit in silence. It was about an hour before sunrise when Trowa finally broke the silence. "To stay with you I'd have to become a vampire?" Heero nodded his head. "How does one become a vampire Heero?"

"I would have to bite you and right before you died I would let you drink my blood. By the next day you would be changed, but you would never be exactly the same as you were."

"What does it feel like?" Trowa asked. Heero did not answer he simply leaned closer to Trowa and unfastened the necklace. He then sunk his fangs into Trowa's flesh, but instead of bliss Trowa saw one of Heero's memories. He saw Quatre sucking the life out of Heero. He could feel Heero's heart slow until it was almost stopped then he could taste the coppery liquid that was forced into his mouth. Part of him wanted to choke and the other part wanted him to keep drinking forever. Then as suddenly as it began the vision was done, and Trowa was again sitting next to Heero on the couch in the living room.

Trowas sat up and gasped. Heero looked at him and then left the room. Trowa lied down on the couch and several minutes later he fell into a dreamless sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Trowa woke up, it was mid afternoon. He left a note for Heero and then went back to his place. There he crashed into Duo and Hilde. Trowa needed to talk to someone. He had a decision to make. He had to choose to give up his life and stay with Heero or he had to move on.

"Duo I need to talk to you in private." Trowa said.

Duo was about to reply with a funny comment and then he looked at Trowa's face and could tell that this was serious. "OK, man whatever. Let's go into the kitchen. Hilde can watch TV for a little bit or something."

With that said both boys moved into the kitchen. "So what's up?" Duo asked.

"I am thinking of breaking up with Heero." Trowa stammered.

Duo was in utter shock. He had never seen Trowa as happy as he was with Heero. He knew something must be wrong. He knew Trowa for a long time and he also knew that Trowa wasn't the best when it came to expressing his emotions but Trowa wasn't stupid. "What?" Duo screamed. "Are you bonkers? You both are crazy about each other I won't let you get cold feet and ruin your relationship. Now what did Heero say to scare you off?"

Trowa was taken a back. He did not expect this reaction from Duo. "He...I....We....." Trowa stammered but he had no idea how to go on. He couldn't tell Duo the truth. Heero told him that it was against the rules and would put him and Duo in danger.

"You like him and he likes you. I see you are happy when you're with him. Being with someone won't kill you Trowa."

That is when Trowa lost it. He just started laughing. Duo was in shock and for once could not say anything. Trowa was laughing so hard tears were coming out of his eyes. Then he started to talk. "Won't kill me he says. Ha! Shows what you know. I was dead the first time we kissed. Eternity with one person is that even possible. God forget eternity how about just two hundred years, and I would have to kill people too. I didn't even think of that before, I would have to steal life to live. What was I thinking?"

Duo was a little scared at this point. He went over to Trowa and put his hand on his shoulder. Trowa jumped at the sudden contact. Duo's hand got caught in Trowa's necklace and as Duo tried to pull his hand away he took the necklace with him exposing the fresh bite marks on Trowa's neck. Trowa's hand went up to cover them but it was too late Duo had already seen them. The two boys just stared at each other. After several long seconds of silence, Duo said "Well this complicates things."
