About You
Hey… Do you know about me?
I caught you staring at me at the café earlier. For whatever reason it was, I don't know. I would love to know, though. You looked like an interesting person to explore.
My name is Dusk, I have been a Vampire for, I believe, much longer than you do. To tell the truth, I never saw or heard about you before. I have too many things going on in my mind at the same time. I hope you can accept this lame excuse. I talked to you yesterday and haven't even had the chance to ask what your gender is. No offense… but nothing gives me a clue. In the first glance, I thought you're a male. However, your attitude resembles a female. Your name… is unisex. It doesn't really help me.
I asked you to meet me tomorrow because I would like to know your gender− I mean, about you, sorry. That idiot Sanguine keeps bothering me about this matter even when I haven't told him I will be meeting you. Sometimes I just want to punch him hard across the face. Anyway, I'm looking forward to see you tomorrow.
I wonder if you will actually come.
The Vampire was leaning on a palm tree, wearing casual clothing. It seems that he was waiting for someone. The sun is setting slowly, making the sky turns orange. Another person was near the bench, looking around.
Dusk smirked; he walked towards that person and poked his waist.
"Ack!" He squealed before he turned his back. "T-that tickles!"
"So you're the ticklish type, Caelan?"
"Kind of…"
This time, Dusk poked Caelan's neck, making him squeal again. "You're really ticklish."
"In fact, too ticklish," He complained. "So… now what?"
Dusk shrugged, slightly chuckling. "You want to go anywhere?"
He called me here without any plan? Caelan gave himself a mental face-palm. "Uh, let's just walk around the city…"
So, they walked away from their meeting place to the more crowded area. Dusk was staring at Caelan continuously, mostly on his chest and crotch, waist once in a while. Caelan just forced a smile, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks as well as figuring out what Dusk is going to do to him.
I'll just refer Caelan as 'he', I guess… I see no breasts but he might just be a female with flat-chest. His face is too smooth and his voice is too soft for a guy. Should I call him 'she' instead? The older vampire thought, leaning closer. Asking about his gender will be rude…
"D-Dusk…" Caelan called when he thought that the other guy is already way too close to his chest. "People are w-watching…"
Pause. "…Sorry," He coughed and brought his face away. "Look, Caelan, I'm dying to know. Are you a male or a female?"
No! This is the question that I've been avoiding… Please, please, let there be an accident or something! "Look, an UFO!"
"Where?" Dusk dumbly turned his head to the air where a flying plate was hovering. "Oh goddamn."
"…An UFO…" Caelan froze when his lie turned out to be true. Everyone was shouting, pointing, taking a picture and calling other people via their cell phones. "Okay, that is just creepy…"
"You're far younger than me but you can detect such thing faster than I can. Remarkable, Caelan. Anyway, I believe that is just some remote-control UFO."
"Y-yes…" The Vampire forced his laugh, continuing to walk.
"You just made me even more curious about you… Say, your gender is-"
"Ouch!" Caelan dropped to the ground and successfully earns slightly ripped jeans and a bleeding knee.
"Are you okay?" Dusk crouched beside him, slightly worrying about the younger Vampire.
"Y-yes…" Just keep acting and everything will be fine...
"You just tripped on your other foot,"
"I think I do…"
"You can still walk, right?"
Caelan nodded, slowly standing up. "I'll need to wash this wound."
"Yes, yes, you can do that in the bathroom." Dusk smiled, plotting an evil plan of 'how-to-figure-out-Caelan's-gender'.
"Where is it, though?" He asked, not aware of his plan.
"There, inside the mall. I'll take you there, okay?"
"I can go alone."
"I'll take you anyway." He smiled, rounding his hand around Caelan's waist. The younger Vampire squealed in surprise before he blushed. He's really slim… Dusk thought. They walked side to side into the shopping mall, taking a few turns. Soon, they arrived in front of the bathroom.
CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE
Curses… Dusk rolled his eyes.
"We can use the disabled one."
Yes but then my answer won't be answered. "Yes, you can."
Caelan opened the bathroom door and proceed to wash his wounds. He quickly let the water flow out of the sink and pours them to his bleeding knee. "Dusk, do you have a band-aid?"
"Nope, I have none. How do you know my name when I haven't even told you?"
Damncursethisbigmouthofmine. "S-someone told me…"
"I sense lie in your response, Caelan."
He ignored Dusk with a red face, rummaging through his pocket to see if he got something to cover his wound with. But he found nothing. Oh well, he thought, attempting to open the bathroom door.

"Dusk, the door won't open."
"Hn? That's weird." He tried opening the door from out but it doesn't work either. "At times like this, our vampiric power comes in handy." Dusk prepared to crush the door but Caelan stopped him.
"No, not here! People will think you're a freak…"
"Oh, right, I forgot." He answered lightly before he pushed to door hard, causing it to swing open and himself to lose balance and pushing Caelan to the ground along with him. Caelan blushed when he saw the other Vampire on top of him.
Ack! He's so close!
"Sorry," He said, slowly standing up, cleaning his jeans. "Are you alright? I didn't squash you, did I?" Dusk gave a hand.
"Yes. And uh, no." Caelan blushed, taking his hand and pushed himself up as he pulled him.
"Well, do you want to go to a store to see if they have band-aids?"
"Sure," He smiled thinly. Then, they went inside the first store that they saw. There, they purchased a little package of Betadine band-aids, walked out, sticking it on his wound.
"Oh damn, oh damn." Dusk muttered when he glanced at the big clock inside the shopping mall. "I got to go now. My partner is probably waiting for me right now."
"Sanguine?"
"Oh, you know him."
Caelan sneered silently. Choosing him instead of me, huh? "Alright. I-It was fun talking with you, Dusk."
"My bad, I should have chosen a more appropriate time."
"N-no, it's fine, really."
"Right, mind to tell me where you live? That way, we can spend time on your place."
"Ah, I live just down the street, in an apartment, number 29."
"Yes, I will remember that." He smiled. "One more thing. You still haven't told me your gender."
"My gender doesn't matter, Dusk." He smiled. "All that matter is what you see me as. Male or female… I don't care."
Dusk stared at Caelan in shock before he smiled back. "You're right…" He paused. "Though… I would love to see you with a skirt."
BAM!
And so, the whole world came crashing down on Caelan's head.
Skirt? Damn it!
