Will POV
The next morning I wake up and everything is the same as yesterday.
I can't say if that's a good or bad thing anymore, but it's comforting.
I know I can wake up everyday and Nico will be knocking on my door soon to check on me.
I know I can go downstairs and Jules will be yelling at me to help him with breakfast.
I know Dusty will be running into the kitchen screaming the power rangers theme song.
It's nice to know things, to not worry about rent or work.
It's nice to know I'm needed even if it's a bit messed up.
There's a soft knock on the door.
A slow smile spreads across my face and I leap over to the door.
It opens and Nico smiles up at me.
"Morning, Sunshine."
"Morning, Mosquito."
He furrows his brows.
"Mosquito? Really?"
He frowns and I laugh lightly.
"Yeah, you're both small and suck blood."
He rolls his eyes.
"I should have sucked you dry."
I feel myself freeze up.
My gaze turns down towards my feet.
It's clearly a joke, but it hits a bit harder than intended.
"Will?"
I glance up at my boyfriend.
He puts his hand through my hair gently.
"Talk about it or move on?" He whispers.
A smile tugs at the corners of my mouth.
With a shake of my head I lean down and kiss the vampire.
"I'm okay, I know you wouldn't do that to me."
He stares at me solemnly.
"Of course not. Never."
Nico wraps his arms around me tightly, and I do the same.
"I love you." The vampire whispers the words into my ear as though they're a secret nobody else should know.
A thought that's been weighing on my mind for awhile pops back into my head.
"Nico?"
He makes a noise of acknowledgment and looks up at me.
"If you were to turn me, you would still be able to feed off me right? Since vampires can feed off those they turn?"
The vampires eyes go wide, he shakes his head and pushes me away.
"No."
I walk back towards him.
"But you said.."
Nico waves his arms cutting me off.
"Yes that's how it works but I'm not turning you."
Something snaps.
"Why? You need me to be weaker than you that badly? I've already shown that I'll stay! You don't need to use force!"
My yelling echos in the closed room.
He looks horrified.
"No! I don't want you to suffer! Being a vampire means living forever, I'd be sentencing you to eternal life. You don't deserve that."
Oh. Somehow the thought that I'd have to live forever hadn't sunk in for me.
I pause.
I've given up so much to be with Nico.
What's my life?
"I want it. Please. That way we can be together, no more imbalance or worrying about you hurting me on accident."
Or on purpose, I think, but I don't say it. He already knows.
Nico stares at me, his eyes are guilty but there's something else there as well. Excitement, maybe.
After a long moment he sighs.
"Okay... I'll do it, but not until the end of the day. Make sure you want this, Will." His voice is serious and slow.
I smile.
"Thank you, Nico."
I sit down on my bed, after a second Nico joins me.
"Turned vampires don't age at all right?" I inquire timidly.
He nods.
"So you'll age slowly but I won't?"
Nico sighs and shrugs.
"It's complicated," he explains, "I'll age a bit more, not much, and then I'll stop. Turned vampires like Dusty won't age at all. If you make that choice it'll be the same for you."
I nod laying my head on the vampire's shoulder.
"Will I have to drink blood?"
I feel him hesitate, but he nods.
"Yes, as will Dusty after he turns sixteen. But you won't need very much, you can drink from me if you're okay with it."
The thought of drinking from Nico makes me slightly sick, but I keep it to myself.
"I can still eat gas station food though?"
Nico laughs and shoves me gently.
"Yes, you and your beloved Twinkies will not be separated."
I chuckle.
"You're the one who bought a few hundred of them, I'm just making sure your stash won't go to waste."
He groans.
"Look, to be fair I thought all food was the same."
I shrug.
"It's all the same mix of chemicals anyways, you weren't exactly that wrong."
The two of us lay down on the bed.
We rest in silence for awhile until I break it.
"What if you stop loving me after you turn me."
Nico pulls me over to him and kisses me on the forehead, his eyes worried.
"I won't" He declares.
"But what if you do."
He shushes me.
"I won't. You have nothing to worry about."
He says it with confidence as though it's an indisputable fact.
I nod. There's nothing to do but agree.
"I don't want to wait until tonight, I think I'll get all anxious."
He laughs.
"You'll be fine, Will."
I laugh awkwardly, knowing I most definitely won't be fine.
"Please?"
Nico goes silent but then sits up.
"Okay."
I sit up as well.
"Okay?"
I tilt my head, unsure.
"Let's do it."
I can feel my heart beating fast. The fact that it might not be beating must longer is terrifying.
"You do know I'll be killing you to do this right?"
I nod, although I'd been trying to avoid thinking about it.
"Will. I need you to promise me this is okay, that you won't regret it."
I take a deep, if a little shaky, breath.
"I promise."
He pulls me into his lap.
"Ready?"
He sounds about as nervous as I feel.
I nod and brings his mouth towards my neck.
I hardly feel the first bite, it just feels like a little sting, and then he starts to suck.
That's the part that's strange.
It's like being vacuumed up.
I can feel my pulse and he sucks.
He sucks and then pauses, after a bit it's in time with my breathing.
Then after a minute to starts to hurt.
My mind feels heavy and body is aching and trembling.
"Nico."
I don't know what I was asking for but he pulls me closer and slows down a bit.
The rhythm of it quickly starts to echo in my ears, I can feel my pulse weakening.
My eyes start to get watery.
Tears begin to fall and Nico hugs me tighter, his hand is almost grounding in my hair, going from my scalp to the tips of my hair and then starting again from the scalp.
The vacuum feeling gets worse.
Everything feels fast and loud and painful.
It's all too much.
I can feel nothing but my heartbeat.
I can hear myself crying harder but I can't see anything.
"Nico, please stop."
A voice rings out, it echos through the pounding of my pulse.
Is it my voice?
I don't think I was speaking.
I start to shake, I'm struggling like a bear in a trap, desperately trying to get away but only causing myself more pain.
The pressure around me gets tighter, it's gentle but impossible to break free from.
What's holding me here?
Why is it doing this to me?
Am I going to die?
I collapse into a stream of sobs, the noise is earsplitting but nothing compared to the insufferable never ending sound of the sucking and the blood pumping.
Is that what that is?
Blood?
Am I losing blood?
Isn't that stuff... important.
Something's...slowing... down.
The beats come slower now.
Can't. Think.
I feel myself fading.
Some one's speaking.
Can't hear.
Wet on my lips, gentle.
Drops of salty liquid on my head, they flow in my mouth, taste bad.
"M sorry...Wil...Love you...much."
I like that.
The sound of that voice.
It's nice.
Hope
I
Hear it again.
...
I shoot awake, my hands flying to my neck.
My breathing is fast and panicked.
Nico's sitting in from of me, smiling, but his eyes are red and his face is wet.
"Hey sunshine."
I hug him tightly, holding on to him as though my life depends on it.
"That was terrible."
He stays silent for a moment and then nods.
"I'm sorry. I hated it too." My boyfriend whispers into my shoulder.
"But we did it? I'm like you now? We'll be together?"
He smiles at me and I smile back weakly.
"Yes, welcome to the mosquito club, Will."
I kiss him.
He tastes like blood.
I've come to like it.
A/N: Im so sorry if this ending isn't what was wanted, I think it's suiting for them, and it might be a step in the right direction for them to end the power imbalance, I really did my best for this and I hope it turned out. Thank you all so much again. Remember the twisted and sad ending will be out soon as well!
