CHAPTER 11

“It feels weird to drink blood at the kitchen table.” Michael swirled the warm liquid inside the mug cradled in his hands. “Or at any table for that matter. I guess I’ll get used to it.”

“It’s no weirder than eating breakfast at sundown,” Xan said as he searched his bowl for any chocolate-flavored flakes that might have escaped him. “You’ll fit right in with everyone else on Friday.”

“What’s happening on Friday?”

Xan scooped up one last flake. “Family dinner. We usually have it at my parents’ house, but I said I’d have it here since I blew off last Friday. Which reminds me, I need to finish unpacking by then. Damn it.”

“Do you want me around for that?”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“I don’t want you to feel like you have to include me because I’m staying here. I don’t mind hanging out in the basement. Your old vampire friend left some pretty good books down there.”

“If you don’t want to join us, that’s up to you.”

“I want to,” Michael admitted.

“And I want you to. Problem solved.” Xan ate the remaining flake and verified that it was the last one short of pouring himself another bowl of cereal—something he had not yet ruled out. His face grew warm as he remembered everything they did to each other that morning, which was not a good idea if he wanted to leave the table without any telltale protrusions. “We need to figure this out,” he said, pushing the bowl aside and grabbing a glass of orange juice.

“Figure what out?”

“You and me and whatever this is between us. This is the first time I’ve ever eaten breakfast with someone I was naked with the night before. Or the day before. Or… the same day. You know what I mean. Anyway, I’m not all that sure about what happens next.”

“Normally you just fuck them and leave?”

“Or they fuck me and leave, yeah.” Xan took a sip of juice to hide his amusement. The vampire was obviously envisioning something that he would get to experience for himself soon enough. “With you, it’s different.”

“Why?”

“I like you.”

“Why?”

“I can be myself with you. I’m myself with other guys to a point, but it’s not like I can lure them in with deep, meaningful conversations about video games and Terminators and stuff.”

“So you like me because you don’t have to hide the fact that you’re a huge nerd.”

“I’m not a nerd,” Xan replied indignantly. “I’m a geek… with some nerd tendencies.”

Michael snorted into his mug. “My mistake.”

“I don’t know where we go from here. You’re already living here so it sort of feels like we’ve skipped a few steps in the process.”

“Would it be easier if I left?”

“I don’t want you to leave. I’m just not sure how it’s supposed to work because you’re living here. Some couples are together for years before they take that leap.”

“… Are we a couple?”

Xan thought about it for a moment. “I don’t know. Do you want to be a couple?”

“Do you?”

“I asked you first.”

“Shit.”
