Prompt #2- Moonlight

Kim could clearly make the man out in the moonlight. Robbie’s posture was eerily reminiscent of that first night. He rubbed at his face, not wanting to freak his friend out with recent signs of feeding. As he cleared his throat Robbie’s spine stiffened.

“I’m sorry.” He sat down beside the brunette.

Robbie didn’t even spare him a glance. “It doesn’t change anything.” The words were probably an attempt to reassure him but they ended up sounding like Robbie was trying to reassure himself instead.

He shook his head. “I don’t regret kissing you.” This provoked a startled glance. Kim met his eyes without hesitation. “That wasn’t what I meant when I apologized. I’m sorry that I scared you.”

“I wasn’t scared.”

Kim grinned at Robbie’s immediate response. It was s lie and a bad one, but it was comforting to know his friend was trying to make him feel better.

“You look better.”

That was an off handed comment that had Kim laughing.

A flush rose up Robbie’s neck as he ducked his head. “I just meant that you look… you know… not a pale… um… does that mean…?”

“That I’ve fed?” Kim finished for him. He was surprised that Robbie would try and ask the question. His friend usually didn’t usually mention any of the darker aspects of Kim’s vampirism and Kim had figured that it was just something Robbie didn’t want to know. “Yeah.”

Robbie nodded, looking back out over the ocean. This gave Kim an enticing view of Robbie’s still flushed neck, making him reach up to brush a hand against it before he even knew what he was doing. The brunette jerked in response and sent him a startled look.

Kim just returned with a shaky grin before turning his gaze back to the ocean.
