Today is the day when you and your love began dating, and in honor of this occasion, you decided to give Gerard a special gift. Despite the fact that he is a vampire and you are mortal, you've managed to build a warm relationship between the two of you.

Long before the celebration, you had been wondering how you could make your partner happy. Maybe his favorite sweets? A romantic evening for the two of you? Perhaps letting him drink your blood? You considered many options that might delight Way, but you settled on one: becoming a vampire. He had bitten your neck many times, savoring your hot blood while you suffered through the dull ache in your neck.

The day finally arrived. Late in the evening, after the sun had already sunk beyond the horizon and only the moon lit the earth, you met with Gerard. Your skin was pale, much colder than it used to be. Your fangs had grown longer, even your gaze had changed.

It seemed to you that Gerard’s castle didn’t feel as cold as it used to. Probably because of your own cold flesh. Still, you sat in the hall, eagerly waiting for your beloved.

You heard familiar footsteps in the corridor. It was him. “I have a surprise for you,” Gerard’s voice echoed.

“I have one for you too!” you announced cheerfully, eagerly waiting for him to see you — now truly “of his flesh.”

He stepped out from the corridor. His skin was redder than usual, his wide smile no longer showed those long fangs, and his body radiated warmth. He didn’t look the same. He looked... more alive?

You both froze in shock. You instantly realized what had happened to the other as you stared into each other’s wide eyes.

“You’re no longer... human..?” Gerard murmured in disbelief. His soft voice echoed off the walls of the castle, which now felt colder to him than ever.
