Okay, now how to broach this subject...

"So there's a... little... disadvantage to being a vampire, apparently."

"… Drinking blood?"

"I mean other than the obvious."

"Okay…?"

Theo doesn't really look like he wants to say it!

Well then Sadde will!

"So after about half an hour talking to me Theo kinda fell in magic vampire love with me which has the advantage of making me automatically look like not-food but on the other hand it's kinda creepy and we want to experiment with that." Pause. "Also I wonder if the magic vampire love will make you bi at least for me."

"Oh for fuck's sake does it have to."

"… So there's a risk he will get in magical vampire love with me?"

"Yeah, so, like, if you want to bail, now's the time."

"I–" he says, then looks at Theo. "… No, I'm okay."

"Okay, so now you two should, like, talk for half an hour and we'll see whether Theo'll be gay for you, too."

"Hahaha," laughs Theo, obviously in total sincerity. "Ugh."

"I mean, if you don't want to, we don't have to…?"

He rolls his eyes. "No, we should."

Into the kitchen?

Into the kitchen!

"The worst part is how I can't flirt with him anymore, it's terrible."

"That sounds… pretty bad, I guess?" he says. "Do people, um, know that you're alive?"

"I've told my mom. Hospital has probably noticed my missing corpse, should tell them at some point, I guess."

"Oh, the hospital, I hadn't thought about them, yikes."

"Well hopefully they haven't put out some sort of call to find the bodysnatcher, because that would be just slightly awkward."

"Yeah," says Matt. "Are you okay?"

"… Mostly?" he says. "Still died and came back to life and am now a vampire and– it has a few inconvenient drawbacks."

"While he's not in magic vampire love with you can you offer him a hug? I've been tempted to at least twelve times over the past few hours and couldn't."

"… Do you want a hug?" he asks.

He shrugs. "Sort of? I dunno."

Well. Matt thinks he will give Theo a hug anyway.
