Vampire's Pet
I asked, breaking the silence.
Nico didn't say anything at first, just very reluctantly released his arms from around me and gently grabbed my hands with his own.
His eyes had almost returned to how they normally were, which I guess was a good sign.
He cleared his throat.
"Yeah. I'm fine," He began, not sounding too sure of himself, "It was just a nightmare."
His words caught me by surprise.
I had learned that vampires rarely if ever had dreams let alone nightmares.
"Oh," I paused for a second, noticing how he was absentmindedly rubbing the top of my hands with his thumbs, "Do you want to talk about it?"
