“Hmmm…found me. Quel surprise.”
Kris gave a small smile. “You didn’t make it that hard for me.” This time, he added to himself. You wanted me to find you.
Adam snorted, lifting pale blue eyes to look at him. “I guess I’m going to have to start running again.”
“I wish you wouldn’t,” Kris said, placing his hand on a cold cheek. “You haven’t fed yet.”
“I haven’t fed in a long time, Kristopher.”
He sighed, running his hand through Adam’s dark hair. “Come with me. Please.”
“And where would we go?” Adam said, shrugging. “Is there a place on this earth that we can go where my memories won’t follow me?”
“Why does it have to be this hard?”
“Today is my 77th birthday and I haven’t aged since 1968,” Adam murmured, looking into the fire. “I don’t even know what I look like now. I have a couple of pictures from back then. Is my face still the same?”
Kris stroked his jaw, using his fingertips to raise his face. “You’re as beautiful to me today as you were the first time I saw you.”
“Sounds more like a curse than a blessing.”
“I’ve missed you so much, Adam.”
Adam gazed at him. “And I’ve missed you, too, Kris.”
“Then why do you always run from me?”
“You remind me of a life that I can never have again,” Adam said, opening his mouth slightly and licking his fangs.
Kris stood up from the arm of the chair and moved so that he straddled Adam’s lap. He placed his hands on Adam’s face, lifting it so that he would meet Kris’s eyes. “We can have that life again. This modern world - there are so many possibilities out there, so many ways to live our lives. You can sing and dance again. You can find love again.” Adam winced, turning his face, but Kris turned it back, fingers pressing into his cheeks. “You can live again.”
“But I’m not alive.”
Kris leaned down and brushed his lips against Adam’s. “Please, Adam…what can I do? What do you want me to do?”
He watched as Adam opened his eyes, looking up at Kris. “There’s nothing you can do.”
