"Are you high?" Derek asked in disbelief.

"Now it's three in the mornin', and I'm tryin' to change yo' mind. Why'd you only call me when you're high?" Sung Luke with stupid grin on his face.

"Oh god...What did you take?"

"Oh, I don't know. Dad gave me some sedatives 'cause of the full moon." Luke mumbled.

"Why?" Asked Derek, even more confused than before. Luke's eyes widened.

"I didn't tell you?! Your uncle bit me and changed me into a vampire-werewolf hybrid. This is my first full moon, and I don't want to kill anyone." Luke sat up and almost rolled off the bed. He tried to support himself with his hands, but they gave out. Derek was by his side in a flash, catching him before he could faceplant into the floor.

"Woah careful." Said Derek and sat the hybrid down.

"And...does that mean that you're no longer dying?" Asked Derek with somewhat hopeful voice.

"Sadly...I guess god really hates me." Luke smiled but Derek noticed that this smile was different. It was broken.

"Don't talk like that!" Frowned Derek.

"You don't get it Der..." Derek blushed at the nickname.

"Did you ever read a book called Return from the Stars? By Stanislaw Lem? It's about an astronaut that was sent on a mission into space. He returned to the Earth 100 years after just to be met with society that he didn't understand. That's how I fell every day. I don't understand how some people can be so open about stuff. If I'd say, 600 years ago, that I didn't care if I kissed girl or a boy, as long as I was attracted to their personality, if I said I am a pansexual, people would tie me to a wooden stake and burn me alive while chanting "May the demon leave thy body and soul!". I am different. And I'll never fit in." Derek stared at the hybrid with worry.

"You smell nice." Luke mumbled buried his nose into Derek's shirt. The alpha blinked at the sudden change of topic and then blushed when he realised what Luke actually said.

"U-uh, thanks...I guess. Y-you too."

"Nah, you smell like cinnamon and fire and..." Luke took a deep breath, as he was trying to identify the other scent. Derek shivered.

"...and pine wood. It reminds me of home. I smell like blood. Nothing else. It's disgusting."

"No. To me, you smell like wild berries or-or some kind of citrus fruit. It's intoxicating." Said Derek and looked into Luke's eyes. They burned with silvery blue glow. Derek's own eyes glowed red in response.

"Huh, thanks Der." The hybrid whispered. Then his head slowly fell on werewolf's shoulder. Derek blinked at him. Luke...fell asleep? Derek tried shaking him a little bit, but the hybrid didn't budge. So Derek moved him so Luke was lying on his bed. The alpha stared at the other male for a moment, getting lost in his features. His eyes travelled down his cheeks, over his jawline and stopped on his neck. There were two scars, shaped like fangs. Probably from the vampire that changed him 600 years ago. Derek carefully run his fingers over the two pale dots. Derek's eyes then rested on Luke's lips.

"I wonder what you taste like." He whispered to himself and stood up.

"I'll make you want to live again. I swear."
