Calm yet panicked

Vincent was only in his room, practicing his abilities as a vampire and after another attempt at transformation, he heard a jingling noise outside.

' wait, is someone watching?!', panicked, Vincent got up and went to the door, hoping that it wouldn't be someone or Davin.

He was still panicking, afraid of the outcome. He HAS to keep it a secret, believing that if anyone knows that he's a vampire he'll be killed, hunted, hated or feared at the least

He opens his door and outside was no person in sight but a chain of keys on the ground.

At first, he was relieved but then quickly realized that if there were keys, Davin might've seen Vincent.

Going back into his room, Vincent sat on his bed. Worse case scenarios playing In his head, what ifs and possible excuses and answers.

After a minute of that, Vincent had calmed down and decided to tell Davin the truth.

It was the only other choice considering the fact that he can't lie well or come up with a good excuse, the best course of action, actually.

He then decided to go outside, hoping to clear his mind from the stuffiness of his room. He turned the doorknob, the light in the hallway hit his eyes as soon as he stepped out, he hissed as a reflex.

Covering his eyes," I should fix that..." He thought out loud, He made his way to the living room, preparing himself on what to say to Davin. Sitting down on the armchair.

' hey Davin, I want to tell you that I'm a--', shaking his head from cringing, 'no, too straightforward', leaning back on the armchair, hand in his hair, ' um, I think that you might know, I'm a person who lives off on life- - ', slapping his forehead with his free hand, 'there's no way to euphemise that.' Readjusting his position, sitting up straight, he said to himself " I'll just do impromptu.."

Meanwhile, Davin was thinking of an excuse, he had settled on one, the excuse was; " I was passing by and I heard the thud coming from your room, it shocked me and I dropped my keys, I panicked and went to my room.", he nodded to himself, trying to psych himself up for confidence.

Plopping onto his bed, he reached for his phone and checked the time, it was only 11 am.

Feeling sleepy and wanting to forget what was happening at that moment, Davin fell asleep only to be woken up 30 minutes later to his phone buzzing on his bed, he checked it and it was just a spam email.

He got up, stretched then got out of bed, heading for the door, completely had forgotten what situation he was in.

He grabbed the knob and open the door to see Vincent in front of him, looking like he was about to knock.

Davin froze and forgot everything he was prepared to say, in a state of panic and reflex, he tried to grab for the doorknob but failed,

" um.. hey Davin, we need to talk about something..." Vincent said, hand reaching for his neck, he looks uncertain but still the tiniest bit of calm.

Davin, trying his best to seem nonchalant and calm, responded, sweating and faking a smile, " oh, yes of course," Davin glanced nervously at Vincent, who seemed a lot more calmer and was looking at Davin, " can..uh.. can we sit in the living room, please?" Davin asked, looking halfway down, still slightly looking at Vincent.

Vincent moved a bit to the side, gesturing to go, " of course." , Davin went first and Vincent followed.

So many things were going through Davin's mind, Like; if he's going to hypnotize me and take my blood?? What if he'll kill me right then and there?| but before he even could realize it, he and Vincent were already in the living room, being seated on the couch. 'Vincent's not going to do that, right?' Davin thought, hoping that it would turn out that way.

Once again, faking a smile Davin asked with the calmest voice he can manage, " so..um.. what did you want to talk about, Vincent...?", Vincent was very calm, contrary to what Davin was feeling at this moment, trying to explain he said " well... I heard keys drop outside of my room and that meant well... uhm... I uhm...you saw the...you know..." Vincent stammered or stuttered a bit, looking over to Davin, Davin's shoulders tensed up a bit but he was still trying to look unbothered.

" O-oh...," Davin exclaimed nervously " um.. what do you mean...?" Trying to act clueless though he knows it knows to be useless, he thought ' this is it, I'm going to be gone..', he gripped his arm, scared of what might come next.

Vincent took notice, he said " well I know you know that I... well... I'm a-" He never realized how difficult it would be to actually say it, " a.. vampire of some sorts...?" Davin continued and asked at the same time, gripping his arm tighter.

Vincent looked at Davin, a bit surprised but smiling" um..well-" Davin smiled tightly and fakely " well I've been speculating that..."

It was only then Vincent noticed how tight Davin was gripping his arm and how much he was sweating, concerned, Vincent thought ' why would he be so nervous...?' He realized in a split second why.

" um.. don't worry, I won't try anything with you,", Davin's expression softened and relaxed at the words and had the tiniest bit of relieved, but Davin then grew tense " how do I know if you're not lying...?" He inquired Vincent, still a bit hesitant to trust him. Vincent looked to Davin, " hm.. well If I weren't a half vampire I would've killed you or turned you the first day we met." He said giving a valid point to Davin.

'Wait, a half vampire...?' Davin asked In his head.

" did you just say half vampire...?" Davin asked, looking at Vincent questionably " does that mean that there are purebloods added to his question.

" Well, yes and I know that I'm a half vampire because I still have a slight pulse, l have blood flowing and I still need to eat like a human being. ."

Then suddenly, Davin asked, " why are, you a half vampire?" He realized what he had said, " ah..um... sorry, you don't have to tell me.."

Vincent smiled softly and said, " it's ok, I'll tell you anyway.." He pondered bit and then answered " well, it was roughly 2 months ago and I was just taking out the trash," he glanced over to Davin and he was just listening closely, Vincent continued " I heard a sound and then suddenly I got attacked and I passed out and I woke up a few minutes after and went in with my day and the next day I..." He paused and said " I think I shouldn't tell you" he smiled at Davin.

Davin was quite surprised that Vincent was only a vampire for 2 months, he'd thought It'd be years

But overall he was grateful that Vincent had shared this information," um thanks for sharing this.. also. I trust you." He smiled a bit,

Vincent smiled back and said, " well, it's ok really and.. thank you for deciding to trust me."

They both stood up, Davin, going to his room to finish work and Vincent, checking the time and going to his room to get ready for his shift.
