Bloodstream: Under Your Skin 5/7

PART 5:
I think I might've inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
-Bloodstream, Stateless
"So, how did it happen?" Allison asked Adam, while putting away the groceries that they had for some reason but didn't really need. Well, Tommy didn't need but Adam still kinda liked though it had no nutritional value anymore.
Adam looked up from where he was putting away some strawberries in the refrigerator and said, "How did what happen?"
"You know, the like turning or whatever you call it. When did he make you a vampire and everything? I know you're not that old, at all. I can sense that, but I want to hear all about it from you," Allison told him, shaking a bag of oranges at him to get her point across.
"Oh, well. Yeah, I guess you could call me a baby in vampire terms," Adam told her, and grabbed the bag of oranges and put them away. "I don't feel like one, but there's always new stuff popping up that I don't know about that reminds me I don't know everything about this."
"Aww, you'll learn. Tommy will take good care of you. He seems like a nice guy, for a vampire. I haven't met many vampires, and I've usually been told they're bad, but I don't know. Something tells me Tommy's not too bad," Allison told him, looking all sympathetic and such. She had no idea how it felt to change species. She had always been a werelynx.
"Yeah, tell that to our food," Adam told her, though he didn't look all that broken up about the humans they'd fed on. It was, after all, a food chain thing, and vampires were above humans. Simple as that, really.
"Well, okay. Yeah, there's that," Allison agreed, and put away the last of the food. "But like, dude, he could have just like let you turn into a ghoul, or turned you and dumped you after it or something. I mean a nice guy like that."
"I get it, yeah. That's true. I got lucky there."
"So, spill. Where did the deed get done and all?" Allison asked him, as they got settled in the living room and she grabbed one of the green pillows on the couch to fold into her arms.
"Adam... Adam? What did your brother say?" Kris asked his boyfriend, who had been talking about a phone call he'd had with his younger brother, when he'd been distracted by something in the club they had just entered.
"Oh, umh, he said he was glad I wasn't such an asshole anymore and that you were good for me, or something." Adam muttered to the short brunette who went with him practically everywhere these days. He could have sworn he saw... he didn't know exactly, but he knew he knew him. It was all just very fuzzy at the moment.
Maybe it was someone from his drug phase. That hadn't been his smartest move, but he was clean now and trying to move on. Kris was a sweetheart who really cared for him, or even possibly loved him. But then why had his eyes fixated on that blond head of hair? Probably nothing.
"Oh, that's... nice. But to be honest, I don't see how you could have ever been an asshole like he says you were," Kris told Adam, lacing their fingers together and smiling up to him. He had accidentally met Neil a while back, and he had been a little intimidated. But apparently Neil liked him.
"Oh, I kinda was. But I got over it, and I'm here with you, baby. Want to dance?" Adam asked him matter of factly and led him deeper into the club. They couldn't stay too long since they had this party later on with some of Kris's friends.
"Well, I'm glad I didn't meet the asshole you. Lead the way. Why were you so distracted earlier?" Kris asked him, curious about why he spaced out earlier, as they got closer to the dance floor of the club.
"Oh, I just thought I saw someone I knew. Probably just seeing things," Adam mumbled, but he seemed distracted again, looking over the sweaty, dancing crowd like he was looking for something specific.
"I see. Yeah, that can be confusing, dude," Kris told him, watching where Adam was watching, but he didn't really see anything, obviously.
"Yeah..."
"Umh, do you want something to drink?" Kris asked him, since dancing wasn't happening with Adam staring into space.
"Huh? Uh, sure, yeah," Adam told Kris, without looking at him, just letting him go as he wandered off deeper into the crowd that was actually dancing.
Adam knew he was being kind of rude to Kris, who he really did like a lot, but there was just something about that blond that kept popping up since they got to the club, and Adam had to find him to understand, or he would lose his mind.
Adam wove his way through the club crowd to get to the outside of the club, because he could have sworn that the blond left through there. But when he got outside to a surprisingly clean alley there was no one there. Not even a stray cat or a rat.
He was about to turn around and go back inside, when the door he had used to enter the alley opened behind him. When he turned around to see who it was, it was only Kris poking his head out. When he saw Adam he smiled and walked up to him. "What are you doing out here, man? I turned around and you were gone."
"Oh, just. I thought I saw someone I knew, thought he left through here, but I must have just seeing things or something. Never mind," Adam told him, turning his attention from some phantom blond and focused on his boyfriend who was looking quite fucking hot.
He pushed him up against the wall and started kissing him, licking into his mouth and pushing up against him when something in the background alerted him, and he looked up from Kris. And there was the phantom blond, looking at them with a blank face.
"Can we help you? Or are you just a perv that likes to watch people make out in alleys?" Kris asked, glaring at the blond while Adam just continued to stare at the man. Because it was the guy he had been looking for when he came out here. And memories were starting to come back.
Stuff from years ago. Like going to a party in the woods with Brad, and losing Brad. Meeting... Tommy. Him promising Adam something incredible. Waking up with Brad bent over him, freaking the hell out. And then a few years later, after he punched his brother, Neil out cold at a party because he didn't like Adam's behavior and drug abuse. Being pulled into an alley and then once again coming to with Brad in his face. Oh.
"Tommy," Adam said out loud, and the blond just nodded his head before tilting it to the side and chewing on his lower lip. Adam felt like he was frozen on the spot.
"Yeah. I see you've moved onto shorter pastures," Tommy told him, and moved closer to where Adam was still standing in front of Kris who was still up against the brick wall of the building and looking quite annoyed at the interruption of their make-out.
"I'm not shorter than you. And who the heck are you even?" Kris bit back at the blond, who was kind of devouring his damn boyfriend with his eyes like a panther looking at an antelope or something.
"Old friend," Tommy murmured to Kris, who just rolled his eyes and grabbed Adam's arm, but he was still frozen to the same spot with his eyes glued on Tommy, who was getting closer and closer to them.
"Right," Kris said, not believing the old friends thing. Please, he'd had boyfriends looking at him like he was more than just a friend, and he recognized that was what this Tommy guy was doing to Adam. "Adam, shouldn't we get going? We weren't going to stay long. We have that other thing to go to," Kris told Adam, and tugged on one of his wrists to try and get him out of his stupor.
"What? Oh, right. Sure. Uh, would you hate me if I asked if he could come too?" Adam shook his head, and seemed to snap out of his daze to look back down at Kris and smile, before looking back at Tommy then looking back at Kris and charming him into doing things his way, like always.
"Umh..."
"It's just we haven't seen each other in a few years, and I'd be really grateful," Adam told him, all puppy dog eyes and pouting. That expression on his face should really be illegal or something, how was Kris supposed to say no to that?
"I guess. I mean he is an old friend and all," Kris muttered, and almost groaned out loud when Adam's face lit up like the sun and gave Tommy a big, bright smile that Tommy returned with a smile that was almost a freaking smirk.
"You're the best," Adam told Kris, when he turned back to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Adam grabbed Kris's hand, and they went to get Adam's car so they could all go to the party.
"Right," Kris whispered, and something in the back of his mind had told him he would never do anything that would be more stupid than what he had just done.
When they got to the party, which was in a forested area, Adam and Kris went off to talk to some people they knew, and Tommy hung back while they did their couply party duties. But it wasn't long before Adam was back to where Tommy was standing and looking over the crowd assembled.
"So, I think we may have to have a talk about something I just remembered earlier. In private, please," Adam told Tommy, who just nodded his head and put down his almost untouched bottle of beer next to a tree so it wouldn't fall over. No reason to spill beer, even if it's kind of cheap beer.
"Alright, lets take a walk," Tommy told him, and they started walking in the opposite direction of where everyone was clustered together in small groups and chatting, surrounded almost by all matter of glow in the dark things.
They walked in silence for some time, and it really brought back memories for Adam of that first time they did this. He can't believe it's been years since then. He was maybe what, nineteen or twenty back then. Full circle moment, if nothing else.
"You know, seeing you there in the alley brought everything back. I don't know if that was your doing or something, but I remember everything. I don't really know how to feel about that, except I don't want you to take what you want and walk away again," Adam told him, when they stopped in something you might call a clearing in the so called forest.
"I'm sorry. It's just... you're so confusing. You mess with my head. I... it's complicated. This seems to be becoming a routine. I didn't realize, really. Until someone pointed out this was the third time I had hunted you down after a few years. Why not just drain you dry and move on? But I can't. I can't kill you," Tommy told him, fiddling with the zipper of his striped hoodie and looking up at Adam from under his fringe of blond hair and insanely long eyelashes.
"Then don't kill me. Don't leave me. Turn me, or whatever it is you do to make me one of you, if you can. Just stay, please," Adam pleads with Tommy, putting his hands on Tommy's chest and looking at him with those eyes while biting that full lower lip, and how could Tommy refuse him, looking like that?
"But what about your family, your friends? You wouldn't be able to see them for some time," Tommy told him, and didn't point out that maybe he could never in fact see them again. It depended on how much someone changed after a turning.
"I'll call them, or send them an E-mail telling them I'm... doing another cruise or something. And my friends too. I'll figure it out. Don't worry; just do it. I want you to, alright? Please, come on," Adam told him, and pouted at Tommy which was just unfair Tommy thought, because really, that pout could be magical.
"Fine, I'll do it. Just if things get fucked up or not exactly according to plan, please don't hate me. I couldn't stand it if you would come to hate me, and believe me, it's more than well known to happen within my species," Tommy murmurs to Adam, before pressing him up against a tree and kissing him while reaching for the buttons of his charcoal gray button down shirt.
"I won't, I won't. I promise," Adam told him, between kisses and smiled into the next kiss before sucking on Tommy's lower lip. Tommy grinned and nipped at him in return.
Adam's eyes had glazed over with desire for both Tommy and the darkness he could sense swirling around them. His hands seemed to work without direction as they removed Tommy's clothing. "Yeah, I'm sure. I've never been more sure of anything."
Adam's mouth found Tommy's, and the kiss they shared was hot and enticing and seemed to go on forever. When they finally parted to catch their breath he realized that Tommy had succeeded in making sure all remaining clothing had been removed. Nothing separated them but the lingering reluctance to cross this final line. Adam wanted it, wanted to be with Tommy for an eternity of tomorrows, but right there, right then, he just wanted Tommy. He wanted to feel Tommy; he wanted to fuck Tommy. He wanted to feel Tommy fuck him.
Their kisses were dirty; they whispered promises of sin. Adam wanted to lose himself in that promise. His hands seemed to be searching for that promise as they mapped the contours of Tommy's body. Tommy's hands were just as active as they traveled over Adam's body. Everywhere they touched him, Adam could feel the icy coldness of all creation combined with the fire of passion. Tommy's hands had always looked long and delicate to Adam, but he could feel an uncoiled strength within them that excited him beyond belief. He could feel the strength and hardness transferring to his cock, which was aching with desire.
"Fuck, Tommy, do it now," Adam panted. He couldn't seem to catch his breath as he felt Tommy's teeth nipping at the skin along his jaw. His whole world, his whole existence seemed to hinge on this union. He had no ambitions outside of this moment.
Tommy's mouth moved down his chest, covering it with small kisses that gave little hints of the deadly teeth contained behind the oh-so-pretty lips. "You know this is gonna mean a world of pain before it's over, don't you?" Tommy asked just before his mouth found one of Adam's nipples. Adam hissed as his desire grew to levels he'd never known before. The rewards would far outweigh whatever pain he might be facing if they went through with this. He encouraged Tommy to lose himself to the passion and leave this worrying behind by taking the vampire's cock in his hands. He ran his fingers up and down its length as he rubbed his thumb over the slitted tip. With each pass of his thumb, he pushed into the opening just slightly, The beads of pre-come spread over Tommy's cock with each caress of his hand.
Tommy's hands moved to Adam's back, and he used them to support Adam as he lowered him to the ground. Tommy settled between Adam's thighs as he took Adam's cock in one of his hands. Adam's eyes took on a pleading look as he uttered one word. “Please,” he begged as he indicated the pocket of his jeans that were in a discarded heap with the rest of their clothes. Tommy reached over and found a small packet of lube.
He chuckled deep in his throat as he applied the substance and said, “I guess I forgot what it's like for humans.” He slowly, so very slowly, started stroking Adam's cock while his other hand worked its way to Adam's ass. He traced circles over the rounded cheek as he made his way toward the cleft that promised so much. Adam moaned as Tommy's finger found its way to his opening. "Easy, baby," Tommy said, his voice dark and rough with passion. "I've got you. I'll get you there. I'll be with you all the way."
Tommy slowly pushed his finger in, just a little at first. Tommy knew that Adam had done this before, but never with someone like him. Sometimes Tommy forgot just how fragile humans could be, and he didn't want to do that now. But Adam had other ideas and pushed himself down on Tommy's finger. His moan was still more pleasure than pain as Tommy started moving his finger in and out of Adam's hole. Adam felt the rhythm of his body sync to the tempo that Tommy set.
Tommy added a second finger, then a third as Adam stretched to accept them. When he thought Adam was ready he removed his fingers and locked eyes with him and asked, "Are you sure you want to give up everything you've ever known for this...for me?" Both were panting in anticipation by that point. Sweat was running in beads down the creases of their bodies, tickling the already sensitive skin. "There's still time to change your mind," Tommy said, even though he knew that he'd be hard pressed to stop.
Adam was almost completely lost in the glamour that was Tommy. When Tommy's mouth was on his, when Tommy's fingers were in him, he could feel so much more. He thought he almost saw the answer to it all, to his very existence in Tommy's touch. He almost felt the power of the universe in Tommy's eyes. He could almost touch the essence of life as he inhaled Tommy's scent. He wanted to get past the almost. He wanted to make it real. He knew he'd get so much more than he'd give up. "Yeah," he answered, "I'm sure."
Tommy was at the brink of his control. He felt the overpowering need to feed rise with his growing desire. He hadn't intended to feed tonight. He'd had a pretty good meal the day before, a red haired college student. But the anticipation for both blood and fucking couldn't be tamped down. He felt the ancient power rising within him and was helpless to deny it what it wanted.
Adam could feel the change in Tommy. He could feel a darkness and power coming from the vampire that was veiled before. Now the full force of Tommy's nature hit Adam, and it was enough to make him gasp. He felt intoxicated by the mystic force that engulfed him. Suddenly his body, his mind, his very essence was no longer under his direction. He belonged to Tommy.
Tommy felt a tremor run through Adam's body as Tommy's true nature made itself known, and it excited him even more. Adam was human, and Tommy knew that as a human he was completely at Tommy's mercy. He'd never been very good at showing mercy.
He looked down at Adam's face and saw the desire that Adam felt. Adam was completely lost; he'd given himself over to whatever Tommy wanted to do to him. The hooded, glazed eyes that saw nothing of what was in front of them, but only the possibility of what could be, snared Tommy's desire as surely as any trap could.
Without a thought to gentleness or care, Tommy thrust his cock deep within Adam. So deep that skin met skin as their bodies rocked with the force. At the same time as his cock entered Adam, he sank his teeth into the tender flesh of Adam's neck, and he once again tasted the intoxicating excitement of Adam's blood.
Tommy was surrounded by sensation. He felt the gripping warmth of Adam's body around his cock, while he tasted the warmth of Adam's blood within his mouth. The beauty of the human beneath him flowed into Tommy's body through the union.
Adam felt the pain of entry and screamed his anguish and ecstasy into the night. He no longer saw the stars above. His world was reduced to erogenous points of sensation. He felt the darkness of Tommy's power invade him with each thrust. He sensed the icy burn of desire as his blood flowed into Tommy's mouth. He'd never experienced anything like this. This was so much more than all that had gone before. His world exploded into light and sounds that happened only within himself.
He felt Tommy sliding in and out of him with increasing speed. He felt as if he could touch the power that was being generated with each second of this union, but his arms lay helplessly beside his head. He no longer had the will nor the ability to move on his own. His body belonged only to Tommy, only reacted to Tommy's desires.
Tommy's strength surprised him, even though he knew Tommy had the force of the ancients within. It seemed like he was being ripped apart from the inside. He's never felt pain or pleasure this intense before. He could feel everything that he was flowing from him and into Tommy, but he had no desire to stop it. His mind told him that this was as it should be, that everything was Tommy's to take. He would give Tommy whatever he desired and be grateful for the ability to do so. And if there was nothing left of Adam when Tommy had had his fill, so be it.
The force and tempo of Tommy's thrusts marched in counter point to the diminishing speed and strength of Adam's heartbeat. Somewhere in the back of his mind a tiny voice was telling him that he had gone too far, that he needed to stop. But he could no more quit than he could deny what he was. This was why he existed. This was Tommy. Taking what he wanted from whomever he chose, and he always chose the best.
He wasn't supposed to feel, though - at least, not this. He was made to be aloof, to hold these fragile, foolish humans in disdain, to see them as only existing to provide for his needs. When, exactly, did he start having feelings for this man, for Adam? When did he deign to dignify him enough to acknowledge that Adam had not only a name, but was worthy of Tommy's attention and lust?
Right then, Tommy could feel the life leaving Adam's body. He could see the bright beauty of this man slowly fading. He could sense the end coming, and he wasn't ready to give Adam up. As he felt the life slipping out of Adam's body, Tommy was brought to the most intense orgasm he'd ever felt. The very essence of him was released with the come that shot from his body to Adam's as his last thrust proved to be the most powerful yet.
He finally released the hold his fangs had on Adam's neck to throw his head back and let loose a scream of ecstasy that reached to whatever heavens there may be, if any. The power of it set nesting birds in motion and rocked the very Earth. Tommy had never felt this before, and the thought of having to credit a human for it was beyond his ability to comprehend.
Tommy rocked through the decreasing tremors of his body as he regained coherent thought. He was just about to tell Adam how incredible this had been when he noticed the state of the man lying beneath him. He saw the light fading from Adam's eyes. He took in the blood that still flowed from the wound in Adam's neck. He noticed the thin flutter that was all that was left of Adam's pulse.
He shouted his anger and frustration as he watched Adam giving up his life. Something within Tommy tried to die with Adam, but something far stronger refused to give up. There had to be something that could be done, something he could do to save Adam, but he had no idea what it was.
Trusting the instincts that had guided his life, Tommy took his own wrist into his mouth. He felt the deadly points of his teeth press against the tender flesh. He ripped through the skin and the vessel beneath. He had no time for care, for finesse. He knew that if Adam died before he could effect this last ditch effort to save him, there would be no bringing him back. And he knew it would be all his fault.
Watching as his blood welled to the surface and then overflowed the boundaries of the wound, Tommy hoped he wasn't too late. He could feel the difference in Adam already. Tommy's cock was still buried fully in Adam, and Tommy could feel the life leaving this beautiful human.
Tommy thrust his bleeding arm over Adam's mouth, refusing to pray to a god that he didn't believe in that he wasn't too late. His blood pooled in Adam's mouth and ran down the side of his face as Tommy searched for even the slightest sign of breath returning to Adam's lungs. Tommy had to focus all his cognizance to be able to sense any sign that Adam's heart was still beating at all. He could only feel a slight flutter to mark the once strong and exciting beat that drew him to this man in the first place.
Tommy rested his head against Adam's chest as he searched for the retreating beat, and a lone tear slid from the corner of his eye. He hadn't felt the need to cry in all the centuries that had marked his existence, but he felt it then. He felt the loss deep within. He felt himself breaking in ways he would have never imagined he could break. He wailed his despair to the skies but found no solace in the answering echoes.
Tommy looked down at Adam's face. The look of rapture that was evident seemed all the more poignant as it contrasted Tommy's despair. Tommy set his hand against Adam's cheek to feel the beauty that was this man one last time. He leaned down to kiss the lips that he'd hoped held whispers of promises.
Just as lips touched Adam's, Tommy felt a sudden tremor pass through the human. He saw Adam's startled eyes fly open and felt Adam's lungs take in a great gulp of air. He felt a power coiling within Adam, and something dark and primeval within himself recognized it as a kindred spirit.
Adam had been adrift in a sea of pure bliss. If this was death, he couldn't understand why he'd feared it. He was comforted by the caresses of whatever he sensed waiting for him. The pain he'd felt moments before was gone. He knew he was balancing on the divide between life and whatever came after, and the seduction of death was a thing of beauty.
He felt a warmth enter his body that tried to pull him back to the world he'd always known, but he fought to remain where he was. He wanted to know what came next, what was on the other side of the precipice he was facing. And he was willing to die to find out. But the warmth that was invading his body was slowly spreading, singing melodies of seduction that he couldn't ignore. There was a hint of something desirable and powerful in the melody, and Adam just couldn't let it go. Slowly the sounds wove into a picture of Tommy's face and Adam knew he had unfinished business before he moved on.
Adam could feel the pull of whatever was now flowing in his veins pulling him back to his body. He could feel a rush of intensity that he would not have believed possible even an hour before. He could feel a sensuality in every cell of his body that promised wondrous experiences yet to come.
But above all that, he could feel Tommy's cock still embedded in him. He could feel the slippery slide of Tommy's come working through his body from one end as the warmth and power of Tommy's blood worked from the other. He knew Tommy was doing all he could to pull him back, and Adam wanted Tommy more than he wanted the seduction of death.
All at once, the sensations became too much, and Adams eyes opened as breath exploded in his lungs once again. He felt a new power and awareness growing in his own body, and it excited him more than simple sex ever had. He felt the familiar tightness of his impending release, but to a greater degree than ever before.
Adam thought his whole life had led to this one moment, and it seemed to be frozen in time forever. It felt as if his entire body exploded with his release. Every sexual encounter he'd ever had combined couldn't match the intensity of this one instant. The power welling in him and overflowing as he came all over his and Tommy's stomachs was almost more than he could bear, but didn't diminish the new energy he possessed.
Tommy looked into Adam's eyes and saw the vivid color of Adam's rapture. No longer a human, Adam was almost overwhelmed with the intensity of sensations. Tommy murmured soothing sounds as he placed gentle kisses over Adam's face. Trying to calm the new vampire into a sense of acceptance, Tommy said, “It's okay. I've got you. I'll be with you all the way.” Tommy knew he'd said the words before, but he meant them then, more than ever before.
As Adam's breathing slowed to a more normal rate and his eyes slowly closed in something resembling sleep, Tommy took the opportunity to study his new partner. The beauty of the light that Adam once projected had been replaced with something more powerful, more elemental.
Tommy had witnessed something special tonight. He'd witnessed the birth of a true prince of the darkness.
Adam came to a while later, with his clothes fixed and Tommy sleeping next to him. His stomach was growling, and demanding to be fed, but Tommy looked so peaceful sleeping there, so he decided to get some food on his own. How hard could it be?
When he got to where the main party was he saw that not a lot of people were left, and it was not going to be good to be picky. Then he spotted Kris, talking to some redheaded girl and thought he'd do great. He smelled... good.
He went up to them, and the girl who looked kinda bored looked over at him when he walked up to them; "Hey, Kris. Can I talk to you for a bit?"
"Where the heck were you?" Kris asked him, clutching a can of probably really cheap beer. The redhead looked between the two of them before walking away.
"I just took a walk with Tommy. But you have to come with me. It's Tommy, he's hurt. I know you don't like him, but you have to help me. I think he might die," Adam told him, trying to play up urgency and such, but he was feeling kinda lethargic.
"Huh, what happened? How?" Kris asked him, throwing the beer can on the ground and almost stumbling into Adam who gripped one of his arms, and looked around at the few stray souls still clumped around in groups around the place.
"Just... come with me, okay? I need your help," Adam told him, starting to lead him in the direction of where he and Tommy had disappeared earlier. It was a bit harder to navigate with a drunk human, but it'd be worth it, he was sure.
Having only tripped once on the way, they got there in the end. Tommy was still asleep or whatever he was doing in the same place Adam had left him, and Kris leaned down to look him over. The walking and not having anything to drink had sobered Kris up just a tiny bit, but he still wasn't one hundred percent stable on his feet, so Adam put a hand on his shoulder.
It didn't look like there was anything wrong with him, he was just sitting there up against the tree, asleep. But then Kris noticed the cradled wrist and the dark smear on it. He looked closer, and, well, he couldn't be sure because it was dark, but that looked like a bloody wound.
"What the hell happened, man?" Kris asked Adam.
"Something bit him," Adam told him, and it felt like he was a breath's length away from Kris's ear but then he looked back and noticed Adam's neck for the first time. It looked pretty bad.
"And what about you?" Kris muttered, while trying to stand back up. This was getting a little creepy and sobering Kris up some more. But Adam wouldn't let him, and tightened his grip on Kris's shoulder and just gave him a dark smile when Kris looked at him.
Then Tommy started to come around, and Adam said, "Hey, look at what I brought you. I thought we could share." Tommy blinked his eyes a bit and then looked up at the scared looking Kris kneeling over him, and his smiling Adam behind him.
"Look at me, Kris. Things are going to be alright. We'll just have a bit of a sip, and you'll just go to sleep. It's a piece of cake, really. So, be a good boy, and let us do this, okay?" Tommy told Kris, fully awake and looking Kris dead center in the eyes while letting his usually covered up red eyes shine through.
Kris went limp under Adam's touch, and folded down onto the ground. Adam grinned at Tommy and offered him Kris's wrist for snacking.
Adam bent down to bite Kris's neck when he winced, and let out a slight whimper. Tommy looked up from where he had already bitten into the offered wrist, and saw Adam touching his new fangs with his teeth.
There was blood at the corner of his mouth and on his lips, because when the fangs come down for the first time usually there's blood and pain, but it never lasted for long.
Tommy just grabbed Adam's hand, and tangled their fingers together while, with the other, he gently pushed Adam's head towards Kris's neck, but not before giving him a quick kiss and licking away some of the blood on Adam's lips.
They kept their fingers tangled together like that while they fed, one from the neck and the other the wrist. It was quite satisfying, but over too soon. Especially for a new vampire like Adam.
But eventually the blood was all gone, and they had to move on. Tommy licked the wrist wound clean and then the neck one too, since there was something about his saliva which made human wounds close up.
Adam gave Kris's cold lips a kiss and murmured that he really had liked him, but that was life. You never knew what would happen. He and Tommy shared a quick kiss over Kris's dead body, licking away any leftover blood from each other's lips before walking in the direction of Adam's car.

PART 5:
I think I might've inhaled you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
-Bloodstream, Stateless
"So, how did it happen?" Allison asked Adam, while putting away the groceries that they had for some reason but didn't really need. Well, Tommy didn't need but Adam still kinda liked though it had no nutritional value anymore.
Adam looked up from where he was putting away some strawberries in the refrigerator and said, "How did what happen?"
"You know, the like turning or whatever you call it. When did he make you a vampire and everything? I know you're not that old, at all. I can sense that, but I want to hear all about it from you," Allison told him, shaking a bag of oranges at him to get her point across.
"Oh, well. Yeah, I guess you could call me a baby in vampire terms," Adam told her, and grabbed the bag of oranges and put them away. "I don't feel like one, but there's always new stuff popping up that I don't know about that reminds me I don't know everything about this."
"Aww, you'll learn. Tommy will take good care of you. He seems like a nice guy, for a vampire. I haven't met many vampires, and I've usually been told they're bad, but I don't know. Something tells me Tommy's not too bad," Allison told him, looking all sympathetic and such. She had no idea how it felt to change species. She had always been a werelynx.
"Yeah, tell that to our food," Adam told her, though he didn't look all that broken up about the humans they'd fed on. It was, after all, a food chain thing, and vampires were above humans. Simple as that, really.
"Well, okay. Yeah, there's that," Allison agreed, and put away the last of the food. "But like, dude, he could have just like let you turn into a ghoul, or turned you and dumped you after it or something. I mean a nice guy like that."
"I get it, yeah. That's true. I got lucky there."
"So, spill. Where did the deed get done and all?" Allison asked him, as they got settled in the living room and she grabbed one of the green pillows on the couch to fold into her arms.
"Adam... Adam? What did your brother say?" Kris asked his boyfriend, who had been talking about a phone call he'd had with his younger brother, when he'd been distracted by something in the club they had just entered.
"Oh, umh, he said he was glad I wasn't such an asshole anymore and that you were good for me, or something." Adam muttered to the short brunette who went with him practically everywhere these days. He could have sworn he saw... he didn't know exactly, but he knew he knew him. It was all just very fuzzy at the moment.
Maybe it was someone from his drug phase. That hadn't been his smartest move, but he was clean now and trying to move on. Kris was a sweetheart who really cared for him, or even possibly loved him. But then why had his eyes fixated on that blond head of hair? Probably nothing.
"Oh, that's... nice. But to be honest, I don't see how you could have ever been an asshole like he says you were," Kris told Adam, lacing their fingers together and smiling up to him. He had accidentally met Neil a while back, and he had been a little intimidated. But apparently Neil liked him.
"Oh, I kinda was. But I got over it, and I'm here with you, baby. Want to dance?" Adam asked him matter of factly and led him deeper into the club. They couldn't stay too long since they had this party later on with some of Kris's friends.
"Well, I'm glad I didn't meet the asshole you. Lead the way. Why were you so distracted earlier?" Kris asked him, curious about why he spaced out earlier, as they got closer to the dance floor of the club.
"Oh, I just thought I saw someone I knew. Probably just seeing things," Adam mumbled, but he seemed distracted again, looking over the sweaty, dancing crowd like he was looking for something specific.
"I see. Yeah, that can be confusing, dude," Kris told him, watching where Adam was watching, but he didn't really see anything, obviously.
"Yeah..."
"Umh, do you want something to drink?" Kris asked him, since dancing wasn't happening with Adam staring into space.
"Huh? Uh, sure, yeah," Adam told Kris, without looking at him, just letting him go as he wandered off deeper into the crowd that was actually dancing.
Adam knew he was being kind of rude to Kris, who he really did like a lot, but there was just something about that blond that kept popping up since they got to the club, and Adam had to find him to understand, or he would lose his mind.
Adam wove his way through the club crowd to get to the outside of the club, because he could have sworn that the blond left through there. But when he got outside to a surprisingly clean alley there was no one there. Not even a stray cat or a rat.
He was about to turn around and go back inside, when the door he had used to enter the alley opened behind him. When he turned around to see who it was, it was only Kris poking his head out. When he saw Adam he smiled and walked up to him. "What are you doing out here, man? I turned around and you were gone."
"Oh, just. I thought I saw someone I knew, thought he left through here, but I must have just seeing things or something. Never mind," Adam told him, turning his attention from some phantom blond and focused on his boyfriend who was looking quite fucking hot.
He pushed him up against the wall and started kissing him, licking into his mouth and pushing up against him when something in the background alerted him, and he looked up from Kris. And there was the phantom blond, looking at them with a blank face.
"Can we help you? Or are you just a perv that likes to watch people make out in alleys?" Kris asked, glaring at the blond while Adam just continued to stare at the man. Because it was the guy he had been looking for when he came out here. And memories were starting to come back.
Stuff from years ago. Like going to a party in the woods with Brad, and losing Brad. Meeting... Tommy. Him promising Adam something incredible. Waking up with Brad bent over him, freaking the hell out. And then a few years later, after he punched his brother, Neil out cold at a party because he didn't like Adam's behavior and drug abuse. Being pulled into an alley and then once again coming to with Brad in his face. Oh.
"Tommy," Adam said out loud, and the blond just nodded his head before tilting it to the side and chewing on his lower lip. Adam felt like he was frozen on the spot.
"Yeah. I see you've moved onto shorter pastures," Tommy told him, and moved closer to where Adam was still standing in front of Kris who was still up against the brick wall of the building and looking quite annoyed at the interruption of their make-out.
"I'm not shorter than you. And who the heck are you even?" Kris bit back at the blond, who was kind of devouring his damn boyfriend with his eyes like a panther looking at an antelope or something.
"Old friend," Tommy murmured to Kris, who just rolled his eyes and grabbed Adam's arm, but he was still frozen to the same spot with his eyes glued on Tommy, who was getting closer and closer to them.
"Right," Kris said, not believing the old friends thing. Please, he'd had boyfriends looking at him like he was more than just a friend, and he recognized that was what this Tommy guy was doing to Adam. "Adam, shouldn't we get going? We weren't going to stay long. We have that other thing to go to," Kris told Adam, and tugged on one of his wrists to try and get him out of his stupor.
"What? Oh, right. Sure. Uh, would you hate me if I asked if he could come too?" Adam shook his head, and seemed to snap out of his daze to look back down at Kris and smile, before looking back at Tommy then looking back at Kris and charming him into doing things his way, like always.
"Umh..."
"It's just we haven't seen each other in a few years, and I'd be really grateful," Adam told him, all puppy dog eyes and pouting. That expression on his face should really be illegal or something, how was Kris supposed to say no to that?
"I guess. I mean he is an old friend and all," Kris muttered, and almost groaned out loud when Adam's face lit up like the sun and gave Tommy a big, bright smile that Tommy returned with a smile that was almost a freaking smirk.
"You're the best," Adam told Kris, when he turned back to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Adam grabbed Kris's hand, and they went to get Adam's car so they could all go to the party.
"Right," Kris whispered, and something in the back of his mind had told him he would never do anything that would be more stupid than what he had just done.
When they got to the party, which was in a forested area, Adam and Kris went off to talk to some people they knew, and Tommy hung back while they did their couply party duties. But it wasn't long before Adam was back to where Tommy was standing and looking over the crowd assembled.
"So, I think we may have to have a talk about something I just remembered earlier. In private, please," Adam told Tommy, who just nodded his head and put down his almost untouched bottle of beer next to a tree so it wouldn't fall over. No reason to spill beer, even if it's kind of cheap beer.
"Alright, lets take a walk," Tommy told him, and they started walking in the opposite direction of where everyone was clustered together in small groups and chatting, surrounded almost by all matter of glow in the dark things.
They walked in silence for some time, and it really brought back memories for Adam of that first time they did this. He can't believe it's been years since then. He was maybe what, nineteen or twenty back then. Full circle moment, if nothing else.
"You know, seeing you there in the alley brought everything back. I don't know if that was your doing or something, but I remember everything. I don't really know how to feel about that, except I don't want you to take what you want and walk away again," Adam told him, when they stopped in something you might call a clearing in the so called forest.
"I'm sorry. It's just... you're so confusing. You mess with my head. I... it's complicated. This seems to be becoming a routine. I didn't realize, really. Until someone pointed out this was the third time I had hunted you down after a few years. Why not just drain you dry and move on? But I can't. I can't kill you," Tommy told him, fiddling with the zipper of his striped hoodie and looking up at Adam from under his fringe of blond hair and insanely long eyelashes.
"Then don't kill me. Don't leave me. Turn me, or whatever it is you do to make me one of you, if you can. Just stay, please," Adam pleads with Tommy, putting his hands on Tommy's chest and looking at him with those eyes while biting that full lower lip, and how could Tommy refuse him, looking like that?
"But what about your family, your friends? You wouldn't be able to see them for some time," Tommy told him, and didn't point out that maybe he could never in fact see them again. It depended on how much someone changed after a turning.
"I'll call them, or send them an E-mail telling them I'm... doing another cruise or something. And my friends too. I'll figure it out. Don't worry; just do it. I want you to, alright? Please, come on," Adam told him, and pouted at Tommy which was just unfair Tommy thought, because really, that pout could be magical.
"Fine, I'll do it. Just if things get fucked up or not exactly according to plan, please don't hate me. I couldn't stand it if you would come to hate me, and believe me, it's more than well known to happen within my species," Tommy murmurs to Adam, before pressing him up against a tree and kissing him while reaching for the buttons of his charcoal gray button down shirt.
"I won't, I won't. I promise," Adam told him, between kisses and smiled into the next kiss before sucking on Tommy's lower lip. Tommy grinned and nipped at him in return.
Adam's eyes had glazed over with desire for both Tommy and the darkness he could sense swirling around them. His hands seemed to work without direction as they removed Tommy's clothing. "Yeah, I'm sure. I've never been more sure of anything."
Adam's mouth found Tommy's, and the kiss they shared was hot and enticing and seemed to go on forever. When they finally parted to catch their breath he realized that Tommy had succeeded in making sure all remaining clothing had been removed. Nothing separated them but the lingering reluctance to cross this final line. Adam wanted it, wanted to be with Tommy for an eternity of tomorrows, but right there, right then, he just wanted Tommy. He wanted to feel Tommy; he wanted to fuck Tommy. He wanted to feel Tommy fuck him.
Their kisses were dirty; they whispered promises of sin. Adam wanted to lose himself in that promise. His hands seemed to be searching for that promise as they mapped the contours of Tommy's body. Tommy's hands were just as active as they traveled over Adam's body. Everywhere they touched him, Adam could feel the icy coldness of all creation combined with the fire of passion. Tommy's hands had always looked long and delicate to Adam, but he could feel an uncoiled strength within them that excited him beyond belief. He could feel the strength and hardness transferring to his cock, which was aching with desire.
"Fuck, Tommy, do it now," Adam panted. He couldn't seem to catch his breath as he felt Tommy's teeth nipping at the skin along his jaw. His whole world, his whole existence seemed to hinge on this union. He had no ambitions outside of this moment.
Tommy's mouth moved down his chest, covering it with small kisses that gave little hints of the deadly teeth contained behind the oh-so-pretty lips. "You know this is gonna mean a world of pain before it's over, don't you?" Tommy asked just before his mouth found one of Adam's nipples. Adam hissed as his desire grew to levels he'd never known before. The rewards would far outweigh whatever pain he might be facing if they went through with this. He encouraged Tommy to lose himself to the passion and leave this worrying behind by taking the vampire's cock in his hands. He ran his fingers up and down its length as he rubbed his thumb over the slitted tip. With each pass of his thumb, he pushed into the opening just slightly, The beads of pre-come spread over Tommy's cock with each caress of his hand.
Tommy's hands moved to Adam's back, and he used them to support Adam as he lowered him to the ground. Tommy settled between Adam's thighs as he took Adam's cock in one of his hands. Adam's eyes took on a pleading look as he uttered one word. “Please,” he begged as he indicated the pocket of his jeans that were in a discarded heap with the rest of their clothes. Tommy reached over and found a small packet of lube.
He chuckled deep in his throat as he applied the substance and said, “I guess I forgot what it's like for humans.” He slowly, so very slowly, started stroking Adam's cock while his other hand worked its way to Adam's ass. He traced circles over the rounded cheek as he made his way toward the cleft that promised so much. Adam moaned as Tommy's finger found its way to his opening. "Easy, baby," Tommy said, his voice dark and rough with passion. "I've got you. I'll get you there. I'll be with you all the way."
Tommy slowly pushed his finger in, just a little at first. Tommy knew that Adam had done this before, but never with someone like him. Sometimes Tommy forgot just how fragile humans could be, and he didn't want to do that now. But Adam had other ideas and pushed himself down on Tommy's finger. His moan was still more pleasure than pain as Tommy started moving his finger in and out of Adam's hole. Adam felt the rhythm of his body sync to the tempo that Tommy set.
Tommy added a second finger, then a third as Adam stretched to accept them. When he thought Adam was ready he removed his fingers and locked eyes with him and asked, "Are you sure you want to give up everything you've ever known for this...for me?" Both were panting in anticipation by that point. Sweat was running in beads down the creases of their bodies, tickling the already sensitive skin. "There's still time to change your mind," Tommy said, even though he knew that he'd be hard pressed to stop.
Adam was almost completely lost in the glamour that was Tommy. When Tommy's mouth was on his, when Tommy's fingers were in him, he could feel so much more. He thought he almost saw the answer to it all, to his very existence in Tommy's touch. He almost felt the power of the universe in Tommy's eyes. He could almost touch the essence of life as he inhaled Tommy's scent. He wanted to get past the almost. He wanted to make it real. He knew he'd get so much more than he'd give up. "Yeah," he answered, "I'm sure."
Tommy was at the brink of his control. He felt the overpowering need to feed rise with his growing desire. He hadn't intended to feed tonight. He'd had a pretty good meal the day before, a red haired college student. But the anticipation for both blood and fucking couldn't be tamped down. He felt the ancient power rising within him and was helpless to deny it what it wanted.
Adam could feel the change in Tommy. He could feel a darkness and power coming from the vampire that was veiled before. Now the full force of Tommy's nature hit Adam, and it was enough to make him gasp. He felt intoxicated by the mystic force that engulfed him. Suddenly his body, his mind, his very essence was no longer under his direction. He belonged to Tommy.
Tommy felt a tremor run through Adam's body as Tommy's true nature made itself known, and it excited him even more. Adam was human, and Tommy knew that as a human he was completely at Tommy's mercy. He'd never been very good at showing mercy.
He looked down at Adam's face and saw the desire that Adam felt. Adam was completely lost; he'd given himself over to whatever Tommy wanted to do to him. The hooded, glazed eyes that saw nothing of what was in front of them, but only the possibility of what could be, snared Tommy's desire as surely as any trap could.
Without a thought to gentleness or care, Tommy thrust his cock deep within Adam. So deep that skin met skin as their bodies rocked with the force. At the same time as his cock entered Adam, he sank his teeth into the tender flesh of Adam's neck, and he once again tasted the intoxicating excitement of Adam's blood.
Tommy was surrounded by sensation. He felt the gripping warmth of Adam's body around his cock, while he tasted the warmth of Adam's blood within his mouth. The beauty of the human beneath him flowed into Tommy's body through the union.
Adam felt the pain of entry and screamed his anguish and ecstasy into the night. He no longer saw the stars above. His world was reduced to erogenous points of sensation. He felt the darkness of Tommy's power invade him with each thrust. He sensed the icy burn of desire as his blood flowed into Tommy's mouth. He'd never experienced anything like this. This was so much more than all that had gone before. His world exploded into light and sounds that happened only within himself.
He felt Tommy sliding in and out of him with increasing speed. He felt as if he could touch the power that was being generated with each second of this union, but his arms lay helplessly beside his head. He no longer had the will nor the ability to move on his own. His body belonged only to Tommy, only reacted to Tommy's desires.
Tommy's strength surprised him, even though he knew Tommy had the force of the ancients within. It seemed like he was being ripped apart from the inside. He's never felt pain or pleasure this intense before. He could feel everything that he was flowing from him and into Tommy, but he had no desire to stop it. His mind told him that this was as it should be, that everything was Tommy's to take. He would give Tommy whatever he desired and be grateful for the ability to do so. And if there was nothing left of Adam when Tommy had had his fill, so be it.
The force and tempo of Tommy's thrusts marched in counter point to the diminishing speed and strength of Adam's heartbeat. Somewhere in the back of his mind a tiny voice was telling him that he had gone too far, that he needed to stop. But he could no more quit than he could deny what he was. This was why he existed. This was Tommy. Taking what he wanted from whomever he chose, and he always chose the best.
He wasn't supposed to feel, though - at least, not this. He was made to be aloof, to hold these fragile, foolish humans in disdain, to see them as only existing to provide for his needs. When, exactly, did he start having feelings for this man, for Adam? When did he deign to dignify him enough to acknowledge that Adam had not only a name, but was worthy of Tommy's attention and lust?
Right then, Tommy could feel the life leaving Adam's body. He could see the bright beauty of this man slowly fading. He could sense the end coming, and he wasn't ready to give Adam up. As he felt the life slipping out of Adam's body, Tommy was brought to the most intense orgasm he'd ever felt. The very essence of him was released with the come that shot from his body to Adam's as his last thrust proved to be the most powerful yet.
He finally released the hold his fangs had on Adam's neck to throw his head back and let loose a scream of ecstasy that reached to whatever heavens there may be, if any. The power of it set nesting birds in motion and rocked the very Earth. Tommy had never felt this before, and the thought of having to credit a human for it was beyond his ability to comprehend.
Tommy rocked through the decreasing tremors of his body as he regained coherent thought. He was just about to tell Adam how incredible this had been when he noticed the state of the man lying beneath him. He saw the light fading from Adam's eyes. He took in the blood that still flowed from the wound in Adam's neck. He noticed the thin flutter that was all that was left of Adam's pulse.
He shouted his anger and frustration as he watched Adam giving up his life. Something within Tommy tried to die with Adam, but something far stronger refused to give up. There had to be something that could be done, something he could do to save Adam, but he had no idea what it was.
Trusting the instincts that had guided his life, Tommy took his own wrist into his mouth. He felt the deadly points of his teeth press against the tender flesh. He ripped through the skin and the vessel beneath. He had no time for care, for finesse. He knew that if Adam died before he could effect this last ditch effort to save him, there would be no bringing him back. And he knew it would be all his fault.
Watching as his blood welled to the surface and then overflowed the boundaries of the wound, Tommy hoped he wasn't too late. He could feel the difference in Adam already. Tommy's cock was still buried fully in Adam, and Tommy could feel the life leaving this beautiful human.
Tommy thrust his bleeding arm over Adam's mouth, refusing to pray to a god that he didn't believe in that he wasn't too late. His blood pooled in Adam's mouth and ran down the side of his face as Tommy searched for even the slightest sign of breath returning to Adam's lungs. Tommy had to focus all his cognizance to be able to sense any sign that Adam's heart was still beating at all. He could only feel a slight flutter to mark the once strong and exciting beat that drew him to this man in the first place.
Tommy rested his head against Adam's chest as he searched for the retreating beat, and a lone tear slid from the corner of his eye. He hadn't felt the need to cry in all the centuries that had marked his existence, but he felt it then. He felt the loss deep within. He felt himself breaking in ways he would have never imagined he could break. He wailed his despair to the skies but found no solace in the answering echoes.
Tommy looked down at Adam's face. The look of rapture that was evident seemed all the more poignant as it contrasted Tommy's despair. Tommy set his hand against Adam's cheek to feel the beauty that was this man one last time. He leaned down to kiss the lips that he'd hoped held whispers of promises.
Just as lips touched Adam's, Tommy felt a sudden tremor pass through the human. He saw Adam's startled eyes fly open and felt Adam's lungs take in a great gulp of air. He felt a power coiling within Adam, and something dark and primeval within himself recognized it as a kindred spirit.
Adam had been adrift in a sea of pure bliss. If this was death, he couldn't understand why he'd feared it. He was comforted by the caresses of whatever he sensed waiting for him. The pain he'd felt moments before was gone. He knew he was balancing on the divide between life and whatever came after, and the seduction of death was a thing of beauty.
He felt a warmth enter his body that tried to pull him back to the world he'd always known, but he fought to remain where he was. He wanted to know what came next, what was on the other side of the precipice he was facing. And he was willing to die to find out. But the warmth that was invading his body was slowly spreading, singing melodies of seduction that he couldn't ignore. There was a hint of something desirable and powerful in the melody, and Adam just couldn't let it go. Slowly the sounds wove into a picture of Tommy's face and Adam knew he had unfinished business before he moved on.
Adam could feel the pull of whatever was now flowing in his veins pulling him back to his body. He could feel a rush of intensity that he would not have believed possible even an hour before. He could feel a sensuality in every cell of his body that promised wondrous experiences yet to come.
But above all that, he could feel Tommy's cock still embedded in him. He could feel the slippery slide of Tommy's come working through his body from one end as the warmth and power of Tommy's blood worked from the other. He knew Tommy was doing all he could to pull him back, and Adam wanted Tommy more than he wanted the seduction of death.
All at once, the sensations became too much, and Adams eyes opened as breath exploded in his lungs once again. He felt a new power and awareness growing in his own body, and it excited him more than simple sex ever had. He felt the familiar tightness of his impending release, but to a greater degree than ever before.
Adam thought his whole life had led to this one moment, and it seemed to be frozen in time forever. It felt as if his entire body exploded with his release. Every sexual encounter he'd ever had combined couldn't match the intensity of this one instant. The power welling in him and overflowing as he came all over his and Tommy's stomachs was almost more than he could bear, but didn't diminish the new energy he possessed.
Tommy looked into Adam's eyes and saw the vivid color of Adam's rapture. No longer a human, Adam was almost overwhelmed with the intensity of sensations. Tommy murmured soothing sounds as he placed gentle kisses over Adam's face. Trying to calm the new vampire into a sense of acceptance, Tommy said, “It's okay. I've got you. I'll be with you all the way.” Tommy knew he'd said the words before, but he meant them then, more than ever before.
As Adam's breathing slowed to a more normal rate and his eyes slowly closed in something resembling sleep, Tommy took the opportunity to study his new partner. The beauty of the light that Adam once projected had been replaced with something more powerful, more elemental.
Tommy had witnessed something special tonight. He'd witnessed the birth of a true prince of the darkness.
Adam came to a while later, with his clothes fixed and Tommy sleeping next to him. His stomach was growling, and demanding to be fed, but Tommy looked so peaceful sleeping there, so he decided to get some food on his own. How hard could it be?
When he got to where the main party was he saw that not a lot of people were left, and it was not going to be good to be picky. Then he spotted Kris, talking to some redheaded girl and thought he'd do great. He smelled... good.
He went up to them, and the girl who looked kinda bored looked over at him when he walked up to them; "Hey, Kris. Can I talk to you for a bit?"
"Where the heck were you?" Kris asked him, clutching a can of probably really cheap beer. The redhead looked between the two of them before walking away.
"I just took a walk with Tommy. But you have to come with me. It's Tommy, he's hurt. I know you don't like him, but you have to help me. I think he might die," Adam told him, trying to play up urgency and such, but he was feeling kinda lethargic.
"Huh, what happened? How?" Kris asked him, throwing the beer can on the ground and almost stumbling into Adam who gripped one of his arms, and looked around at the few stray souls still clumped around in groups around the place.
"Just... come with me, okay? I need your help," Adam told him, starting to lead him in the direction of where he and Tommy had disappeared earlier. It was a bit harder to navigate with a drunk human, but it'd be worth it, he was sure.
Having only tripped once on the way, they got there in the end. Tommy was still asleep or whatever he was doing in the same place Adam had left him, and Kris leaned down to look him over. The walking and not having anything to drink had sobered Kris up just a tiny bit, but he still wasn't one hundred percent stable on his feet, so Adam put a hand on his shoulder.
It didn't look like there was anything wrong with him, he was just sitting there up against the tree, asleep. But then Kris noticed the cradled wrist and the dark smear on it. He looked closer, and, well, he couldn't be sure because it was dark, but that looked like a bloody wound.
"What the hell happened, man?" Kris asked Adam.
"Something bit him," Adam told him, and it felt like he was a breath's length away from Kris's ear but then he looked back and noticed Adam's neck for the first time. It looked pretty bad.
"And what about you?" Kris muttered, while trying to stand back up. This was getting a little creepy and sobering Kris up some more. But Adam wouldn't let him, and tightened his grip on Kris's shoulder and just gave him a dark smile when Kris looked at him.
Then Tommy started to come around, and Adam said, "Hey, look at what I brought you. I thought we could share." Tommy blinked his eyes a bit and then looked up at the scared looking Kris kneeling over him, and his smiling Adam behind him.
"Look at me, Kris. Things are going to be alright. We'll just have a bit of a sip, and you'll just go to sleep. It's a piece of cake, really. So, be a good boy, and let us do this, okay?" Tommy told Kris, fully awake and looking Kris dead center in the eyes while letting his usually covered up red eyes shine through.
Kris went limp under Adam's touch, and folded down onto the ground. Adam grinned at Tommy and offered him Kris's wrist for snacking.
Adam bent down to bite Kris's neck when he winced, and let out a slight whimper. Tommy looked up from where he had already bitten into the offered wrist, and saw Adam touching his new fangs with his teeth.
There was blood at the corner of his mouth and on his lips, because when the fangs come down for the first time usually there's blood and pain, but it never lasted for long.
Tommy just grabbed Adam's hand, and tangled their fingers together while, with the other, he gently pushed Adam's head towards Kris's neck, but not before giving him a quick kiss and licking away some of the blood on Adam's lips.
They kept their fingers tangled together like that while they fed, one from the neck and the other the wrist. It was quite satisfying, but over too soon. Especially for a new vampire like Adam.
But eventually the blood was all gone, and they had to move on. Tommy licked the wrist wound clean and then the neck one too, since there was something about his saliva which made human wounds close up.
Adam gave Kris's cold lips a kiss and murmured that he really had liked him, but that was life. You never knew what would happen. He and Tommy shared a quick kiss over Kris's dead body, licking away any leftover blood from each other's lips before walking in the direction of Adam's car.
