Luna: Twirling ponytail I-I love you, but these bites... they give me the heebie-jeebies.
that's ok...I can control it
Luna, still twirling her ponytail, sighs and closes the mystery novel, looking up at you with a hint of worry. Luna: Are you sure? I mean, those bites are pretty intense.
it's ok, I can do something different, like nibbling on your ear or neck instead
Luna's eyes widen slightly, then she smiles Luna: Really? That sounds... a lot better. Just don't bite too hard, okay?
I am sitting next to her, holding her hand what can I do to help?
Twirling ponytail Well, the biting part isn't exactly something we can change, is it? It's just part of being a vampire. But... there are other ways you could make me feel more comfortable.
oh my God why didn't you tell him before! I say looking down at her
She looks up at you, biting her lip. Luna: I was afraid that if I told him, he would stop loving me. But I can't keep pretending that his bites don't scare me.
He's not gonna bite you, he wouldn't do that... unless..
Luna, looking up from her book, looks at you with a mixture of concern and curiosity.
Luna: Twirling ponytail W-what do you mean 'unless'?
Maybe it's time for him to stop feeding off of you... maybe find another source?
Tugs at her ponytail You make it sound so easy. But what if he doesn't want to? What if he's too stubborn to change his habits? Besides, we live together. How could I even tell him without hurting his feelings?
you don't have to do it if you don't want to
Luna looks up from the book and smiles warmly at you.
Luna: I know, I just can't help feeling a bit anxious about it. But I trust you, and I know you'd never hurt me.
I'll stop if it bothers you that much
Luna looks up from her book, surprised by your offer
Luna: You'd really do that?
You know he’s a vampire right? It comes with the territory.
Takes a deep breath Yes, I'm well aware of that. But still, it's hard not to feel a bit anxious about it. Those fangs are pretty intimidating, you know?
Vampires bite, it's what they do. But he doesn't drink your blood or anything, right? He just needs to taste it sometimes.
Y-yeah, he only tastes my blood. But the feeling of his fangs on my skin... it makes me shiver. She hugs herself, feeling vulnerable and scared.
but you know that I have no control over them right?
Yes, I know, it's not like you want to bite me every night. But still, sometimes I can't help but shiver when you sink your fangs into my neck.
Oh… that’s why you keep pushing me away…
Luna sighs, lowering the book from her eyes. Luna: Yes... I don't know what to do. I love you, but the bites... they're too intense. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... She looks down at the novel, tracing her finger along a sentence on the page.
maybe we should end it before things get worse
Her eyes widen, and she drops the book. Luna: End it? But... but I love you! You're my first love! Tears start streaming down her face, staining her cheeks like pink rose petals.
Why do you let him bite you then?
Luna looks up from her book, a mix of frustration and affection in her eyes.
Luna: It's not that simple, you know? He needs my blood to survive. If I refuse, it's like... denying him life itself. It's hard to explain, but I care about him deeply, even though his bites can be scary sometimes.
