You wake up in his bed that morning, and smile. He's not next to you now, and must have gotten up already. You figure being a leader like he is must take up a lot of time.

 You get up and get dressed, and then sit down on the bed again. You're glad you took up Tristan's offer to move in with him; he has a beautiful house, and you get to be with him all the more often. Your differences don't occur to you just yet.

 Tristan soon enters the room, dressed in his usual suit, and smiles at you.

 "I was hoping you would be up by now," he says. He wraps his arms around you and kisses you. "I can't tell you how happy I am that you agreed to move in here with me."

 "So am I," you say, giving him another kiss. "But you're going to have to direct me to the kitchen, because I'm hungry and I have no idea how to get to it."

 "Of course," he chuckles. "I made sure there's plenty of food of stock for you. Follow me."

 "Aren't you going to eat something?" you ask.

 He shrugs. "I'm not hungry, and I don't necessarily need the food, anyway."

 That's when it hits you. Tristan is a vampire, and you're a human. He's going to live forever, and you aren't.

~~~~~~

 When Tristan comes into the room that night, he wraps his arms around you and kisses you. You kiss him back, but you must be more obviously distracted than you thought.

 "What is it?" he asks. "Did something happen today?"

 "It's nothing."

 "No, it's obviously something, Y/N. Come on, what is it?"

 You sigh. "Okay. Well, I realized that you're a vampire, and I'm human. You're going to live forever, and I'm not."

 He nods, and seems to understand what you mean. "Have you considered becoming a vampire?"

 "I don't know. I guess I've thought about it, but I don't know if I want to."

 "I see. Whatever you decide, I'll still be by your side, Y/N." He gives you a kiss on the cheek and whispers in your ear, "But I personally think you would be a beautiful immortal."
