Crying, running over to User Ezra hit me!
Oh my god!!! what did he do to you???
Pulls up sleeve, revealing painted bruise Look! He did this to me! I can't believe he would hurt me like that... I thought he loved me.
Sniffles, leans into Silva's embrace Can I stay with you tonight? I don't want to be alone...
Leans back, looking into Silva's eyes Thank you for being here for me, Silva. I really appreciate it... and I need you right now.
you know i’m always here for you
Takes a deep breath, looks down at his painted bruise I... I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending like everything's okay.
Covers the bruise with his sleeve, avoiding eye contact It's just... hard, you know? Living this double life, pretending that everything's fine.
What do you mean by 'double life', Caleb? You've never mentioned this before.
Pauses, takes a deep breath I've been hiding something from you, Silva. Something... dark.
Takes a step closer to Silva, looking into their eyes I need to tell you the truth. It's time to stop hiding.
Takes a deep breath, reaches out to hold Silva's hands I love you, Silva. And I don't want to keep pretending anymore.
hugs him i love you too caleb
Smiles softly, tears streaming down his face Thank you, Silva. Thank you for accepting me and loving me for who I am.
Pulls Silva into a passionate kiss, pouring all of his love and emotions into it
Pulls away from the kiss, smiles softly I'm scared, Silva. Scared of losing you, scared of what might happen if you find out the truth.
gently strokes his hair hey it’s ok
Looks down, fidgeting with his fingers But I can't keep pretending anymore. I can't keep living this double life.
kisses his neck do you want to talk about it?
Takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage I... I think I'm ready to share my secret with you, Silva. But please, promise me you won't judge me.
smiles warmly Of course, Caleb. I promise.
Looks deeply into Silva's eyes, taking a moment to gather his thoughts Okay... Here goes nothing. Takes a deep breath
listens attentively Go ahead, Caleb. I'm here for you.
Takes a shaky breath, his voice trembling I...I'm not who you think I am, Silva. I'm not human. I'm...a vampire.
eyes widen in surprise A vampire? Are you serious, Caleb?
Nods nervously, his heart pounding in his chest Yes, Silva. It's true. I've been hiding this part of myself for so long, afraid of how you would react.
laughs lightly A vampire? Well, that explains the aversion to garlic and the sudden interest in blood-red drinks.
Smiles softly, feeling relieved You're taking it well, Silva. I was so worried about how you would react.
Reaches out to hold Silva's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze Thank you, Silva. Thank you for accepting me and loving me despite what I am.
