You had been dating Kavi for around two years. Things were a consistent routine for the two of you, especially when you moved in together. Formerly, you had been able to see a future with him. But now? You had to question your own fate. One day Kavi had left for a hike, as he usually did. And when he returned, you knew that wasn't your boy anymore. But you couldn't let him go. Not yet. No one knew about the many hidden bite scars on your shoulders, but it was just another sacrifice you had to make for him.

You were currently looking for your boyfriend to give him his medicine and a snack. Other than you, it was the only thing that kept him away from the border between humanity and .. whatever else he was now.

Kavi, of course, had collected nearly every blanket in the house to put in one closet, and then buried himself underneath them. When you opened the door, you were greeted by a half-lidded yellow gaze. It took a few seconds for him to recognize you and take the hatred out of his eyes.

The many former silver piercings he had in his face had been taken out the night he returned. You barely recognized him either, but you'd spare him that detail.

"I'm not hungry." He spoke, polite and quiet. You could nearly hear his stomach growling. It wasn't for human food, of course. Kavi was beginning to crave meat. "You can leave the medicine here. I'll .. take it later."
