Lyle's POV:
Milo shifted beside me in the bed and then sat up slowly before he whined. I felt him linger by me before he got up and left, walking into the hallway where I could hear him asking one of the maids to help him get some blood for me and him. I sat up quickly and walked out to him, purring. "Hungry?" I asked him and wrapped my arms around him. He blushed and looked at me then turned around to face me as the maid left to go get us something.
"Uh huh," he whispered and then wrapped his arms around my neck. He gave me a sweet smile and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Lyle," he purred.
"Goodnight," I smiled and looked around the hall before pulling him back to the room. He followed me and then held my hand, giving it a squeeze as he let go and headed for the bathroom. I heard him turn on the water to the bathtub, leaving the door open slightly. I went towards the closet and changed into something for the night, not sure what to do with Milo while we wait for the just married to come back.
"So! I was thinking that maybe... we could go get a laptop for me," Milo called out from the bathroom, sounding slightly nervous. "I've been... wanting to write again as a vampire author."
"A laptop?" I asked him. "That's what you still want to do with your eternity I gave you?" I teased. He laughed and then walked over to the door that connected the bathroom and the closet, opening it.
"I figured I could write a little here and there," he told me and gave me a sweet smile. "You know that I want to be with you though for my eternity."
"So you want to go get one tonight?" I teased. He blushed and then walked up to me, grabbing my hand.
"Yeah... or tomorrow night if you would prefer to stay home," he whispered then leaned in and kissed my lips.
"I don't have anything planned," I muttered and shrugged. "We can go get you a laptop and come back." I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. He smiled and nodded.
"Okay," he whispered and then blushed as he bit his bottom lip and glanced at the bathroom then at me. "I would ask... but you know," he whispered, sounding a little embarrassed. "It'd probably be a no."
"I just got dressed," I whispered.
"I know, that's why it'd be a no," he told me and rubbed my cheek. "It's fine... I'd prefer you not to see me yet anyways." He leaned in and gave me a kiss before he started for the bathroom, grabbing one of his better outfits. I watched him and walked out to the bedroom and sat down on the bed to wait for him. I heard the maid knock on the door then and she walked in with two glasses of blood, setting them down on the nightstand. She smiled at me and gave a bow before she walked out, not intruding long. Milo came out after a few minutes, dressed and ready as he walked up and picked up his glass, gulping it down quickly. He'd really gotten used to being a vampire in the past couple of years. He'd be old enough to leave me in a little less than a year. I blushed and sucked down my glass of blood, watching him. He's so old now.... I don't want to let him go. He glanced at me and gave me a smile as he finished his blood and sat it down. "So~ I was thinking... that maybe if I explored the world for a few months when it's my fifth birthday... it'd be really cool," he whispered and sat down in my lap. "You could come with me if you want."
"You're already wanting to go and explore the world?" I asked him and frowned. "So quickly?"
"Well... I spent most of my human life cooped up in a little four cornered room writing my stories... and trying to find vampires," he mumbled to me. "I've gotten away from it and I'm a little curious," he whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist before he leaned in and kissed my neck. "Am I growing up too fast for you?"
"Too fast," I admitted. "You have all of eternity to explore." He blushed and then looked at me with a nod.
"Okay," he whispered. "I'll try to slow down then for you.... It's not like I'm going to change too much after I'm five," he told me sweetly. "You shouldn't be so worried... but I will miss being a fledgling for you." He kissed my lips then and stole the glass from my hand, setting it down on the nightstand beside his. I kissed him back and wrapped my arms around him. He purred lovingly to me and then deepened the kiss, moving closer to me then licked my bottom lip teasingly, getting braver. I pulled back before we went too far and smirked.
"Milo," I teased. He blushed and looked at me.
"Sorry," he whispered and then curled up to me. "I love you Lyle~" I heard him start to purr to me as he leaned his head against my shoulder. I caught his sweet scent then as he heaved out a small sigh, his breath hitting my neck and he nuzzled against me. "My maker~" He mumbled happily. "I'm glad you were my first vampire...." He laughed and then gently kissed my neck as he wrapped his arms around my neck. "My first boyfriend too."
"Yeah, let's go get your laptop." I grabbed his hands and tugged him out the room with me. He frowned slightly as he watched me and then pulled his hands away from me as he walked beside me quietly. I dragged him down to the garage and got inside one of the vehicles and punched in a Best Buy location for us to go to before driving us out to get him his laptop. It took about half the night to do before we was able to return to Rei's manor.
He looked excited as he practically ran off with his laptop, racing for the elevator as he giggled happily. "I can't wait to set it up!" I watched him and followed after him, trying not to let him go too far from my sight. He held the door to the elevator open for me and let me in before he hit the floor for us and then bounced excitedly as we waited then darted out as soon as there was a crack in the door. I heard our bedroom door shut before the elevator even finished opening all the way. I tsked and shook my head, stepping out and going after him. Oh boy, he's nuts.... I shouldn't be allowing this... When I got into my room, he was pulling it out of the box quickly on the bed, opening it up quickly as he squealed in excitement and threw the box across the room and turned it on, starting to go through the set up process and giggled as he touched the screen. "It's touch screen too~!" He pulled it into his lap happily and took up the majority of the bed, not noticing that I had come in.
"Now I do have to set up ground rules... No going on social media," I warned him. He didn't pay me any attention as his eyes lit up in awe when his laptop turned all the way on and he finished the process.
"AWESOME~" I walked over and shut the laptop on him.
"No social media," I told him again. He yelped and then frowned, looking up towards me.
"No social media?" He whined. "Not even if I go under a different name and don't use my picture?"
"No," I told him firmly. "Vampires don't use social media." He frowned a little and pouted but nodded.
"Fine," he whispered to me and then sighed, looking a little disappointed. "Just for writing and games," he mumbled.
"Good boy," I kissed his cheek and wrapped him up in my arms. "It's for your protection." He frowned.
"How is it protecting me if no one knows it's me to begin with?" He mumbled and then gripped me.
"I told you no," I said firmly again. He whined and hid his face into my chest.
"F-fine," he mumbled. "No social media."
"Thank you for following orders," I told him and opened his laptop back up. He sighed and looked at it with a pout.
"Lyle... are you happy?" He asked softly, glancing up at me. "I mean... being without the throne and all. I know you've been without it for awhile now... but... sometimes it seems like you don't know what to do... and some days you feel distant."
"I'm still getting used to not being on it is all," I said softly and laid down on the bed. "I'm not used to having nothing to do all the time." He nodded and then slowly shut the laptop, moving it off the bed as he looked at me. He gave a small smile and crawled over to me, laying down beside me.
"You'll get used to it," he told me softly then kissed my cheek. "After all, if you want, we could always do something together."
"I wouldn't know what to do," I muttered. "I want to stay beside Silas though incase he needs me."
"He's married now and he's not coming back for a week," Milo mumbled then sighed, shaking his head. He rubbed my head then moved away from me, grabbing his laptop back and started to mess around on it as he turned it back on, sitting up against the headboard. "You should get a hobby...." He muttered.
"A hobby? Aren't those lame?" I asked. He frowned at me.
"No! I write, and that's not lame," he muttered, looking upset.
"I don't think you can call it a hobby though," I whispered. He sighed and looked at me then sat his laptop aside again and then crawled on top of me.
"Then why don't you spend time with me?" He asked me. "I'll pull the I'm going to grow up on you card."
"What would you want to do then?" I asked him.
"I don't know.... Maybe we could try going on a date or something. We're boyfriends after all... or we could do something maker and fledgling friendly like play some games or go meet other makers." He shrugged as he sat on my stomach.
"You want to meet other makers?" I asked. He shrugged again.
"I'm just suggesting things... or we could sit around and do nothing at all." I sighed and nodded.
"Fine, we can go do something together, we'll travel the world and avoid our family for the next ten years." He frowned at me then.
"That's not what I meant." He told me and then got off me. He sighed and walked into the bathroom, grabbing his toothbrush and started to brush his teeth, leaning over the counter.
"Well what do you want to do?" I asked and purred. "Would you like to explore the world or not go anywhere?" He glanced over at me in consideration as he brushed his teeth then spit the paste out and rinsed his mouth out.
"Well... I'd like to explore... but I don't want to avoid your family for ten years. I didn't mean avoid them," he told me softly and then dried his mouth off and slowly walked back out to me, giving me a longing look.
"You should decide on what you want now for us to do," I told him.
"Well... for now... I think I want to cuddle... and we should go explore a bit when I'm five," he told me and smiled.
"We will," I promised him. He gave me a huge smile then and jumped into the bed, tackling me into a hug with a giggle. He kissed me quickly and then got under the covers next to me, snuggling up to my side as he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a sweet look. I gave him a sweet look and gave him the TV remote. He looked at it then put on one of my favorite movies and curled up to me, purring happily as he gently kissed my chest. I kissed the top of his head and rubbed his arms. He looked up at me and smiled a little before he kissed my lips, purring softly. I kissed him back before watching the movie.
