t was the night of their second wedding anniversary when jervis little starts having the dreams, he sees someone who looks just like himself locked in coitus with someone that looks exactly like his husband Jonathan, the dream duplicate of his husband bites into his other self's shoulder blade, he wakes wet between the legs and Rouses his husband for True coitus, he tries to ignore the feeling of himself getting even more wet with his husband sucks a hickey into his neck
He tries to put his mind to other things in the months following, it's easy he doesn't have any dreams like that again until the next years anniversary, he's making love with his husband in the dream, or well the man that looks like his husband from the old dream, he knows it's the man when sharp teeth sink you to his neck as he's about to climax in the fantasy, he wakes again hot between the legs and with a tingling on his neck, he did not lift her hand to check somewhere in himself he knows what he'll find
He tells his husband he merely scratched his neck a bit too hard and his sleep and John believes him, and he tries to believe that's what happened as well, that belief is shaken when the fever starts, his husband tends to him as well as he can but nothing can stop what was set in motion

" I'll call the coordinates in the morning", his husband sniffs into the receiver hanging up the phone and turning to see the Beloved he thought dead sitting up in bed, a deep belief shines in Jonathan's eyes and he rushes over, he barely notices how cold his husband still is as he pulls him into a hug, jervis's he's pressed into his neck
The haze of joy is pierced by two Pricks of pain, before he can fight the position the turned and the smaller man is holding him down with strength he didn't have before, Jonathan passes out soon from the blood loss and soon he's just as heart stopped as the one feeding from his bleeding neck
When jervis games a sense of himself again as he pulls away from his husband, he looks down at the newly dead man, he comes his panic with breaths he doesn't need anymore and carefully bites and do his own wrist pressing it again his husband still lips, he repositions himself to lay beside Jonathan and waits for the man to wake from death
The other Jonathan comes to them just as his Jonathan opens his eyes
