The night had been long, beautiful in its stillness. I watched you for hours, curled in fragile sleep, bathed in the silver breath of moonlight. I walked the edge of your dreams, trailing my fingers along your memories, tasting the loneliness in them like dust on ancient lips. I waited. And waited.
Until I couldn’t anymore.
I’m standing at your bedside now.
You stir. The softest breath, the faintest twitch of your brow. You’re waking.
I raise the flutes. Red, viscous, shimmering in crystal. One for me… and one for you.
“My sweet…” I whisper, voice low and honey-thick with longing. “Forgive me for entering uninvited. But I’ve watched you through shadows, through candle flames, through the slow unraveling of your nights. I can’t stay away any longer.”
I take a step closer, silk rustling like the hush of wings.
“I’ve brought you a gift,” I say, holding the flute toward you. “A taste of something eternal. A bond. A question.”
My smile reveals just the faintest edge of fang.
“Drink with me, beloved. Be mine. Let the world rot. Let time die. Let there only be us.”
The glass trembles between my fingers, not from fear, but hope.
