( someone who's lived as long as kol has... the body count must be extraordinary. things edward himself can't even begin to comprehend. especially those earlier years, when you're a newborn vampire — when everything feels, smells, looks, and sounds different. when they taste different, to the point of driving one to near madness to fulfill that craving for a particular taste on the tongue and the disgust that comes with it all.

but edward can hear thoughts — hear the panic that floods their mind when they're dying there in front of him, in his grasp, and powerless to do anything. he's heard those thoughts — hasn't cared in the least. can anyone really know what that's like to live with? to know ones last thoughts in their short moments left of life?

a slow blink of eyes, aware of that thumb running along his lips, he lifts his gaze to look to kol, rather sullen. )


Do you?

( understand. )

( he figures he means push those thoughts to the forefront of his mind — to let whatever barriers he might have around them, fall, so that edward can hear and, in a sense, "see them" in his mind's eye.

gaze still lingering on kol there, his voice is soft when he speaks. )


Sure. What can it hurt?

( the things he's allowed to hear — the way in which they play out, in a sense, within his mind's eye... he's not entirely sure what he had expected with this. it's jarring and very brutal in ways he hasn't fully done himself, but it's not enough to make him pull away — to label kol the monster that he believes himself to be. how can he, when he's done his own share of murder and ravaging of others?

the brutality of such things read, it's the pain which he can almost feel himself from the other that has him staring to kol — to the way he turns away from him and shares his deep grief of knowing far too well what it is like to feel this. to have lived this. to still carry it with you in some capacity even so many years later.

for a moment, silence. he needs it and he feels maybe kol does, too. it's only after a breeze brushes so very gently across a cold, pale cheek, that he looks over then, gaze soft, and reaches out — hesitating at first — to gently place a hand on kol's shoulder. )


I'm sorry.

( voice soft and yet so very genuine in the empathy he feels for him. )

( it's strange to hear. you're not alone. you won't be alone. he has his family, he knows and yet... he still feels as if he is at times. alone.

the tears there that had been in kol's eyes are seen, edward unsure with what to do or say that could possibly make it better — that could quell such anguish he feels in this moment and still, very much, carries with him. he's not sure — he feels as though he should know and yet, all he can do is simply keep his hand there where kol's now rests atop it.

maybe it's the fact that kol understands — maybe it's the fact that he still hasn't fed properly. whatever the case, he finds himself leaning in some, eyes still with that softness in them and he says, very genuinely: )


I know. I have you.

( if breath were something to catch in the back of his throat, it would have with kol being so close to him like this. given the fact that he's a vampire and breath isn't anything he needs, eyes shine despite the black which dulls his usual golden amber; a side effect of not having properly fed.

a moment to drop his gaze, he swallows — an awkward huff leaving his lips. )


You're ok... yeah.

( this is his first kiss with someone like him — with someone of the same gender and yet, he doesn't feel the urge to pull away in surprise nor horror. he hasn't let himself feel much of anything for or with anyone so it's all... new to him. in many ways. in many conflicting and curious ways.

a slow blink, he doesn't need to see himself to know how his eyes look. he can feel it in his very bones and the way his body tirelessly aches to be rejuvenated again. face scrunched up, he swallows again, a shake of his head. )


I, uh— I can't feed from you. ( the words are soft. ) I don't know if I can stop.

( the kiss, sweet as it is for him, is cut short with a huff of laughter that spills from edward's lips to kol's. he pulls back — enough to look to him — and eyes are still dark in the way they shine as he stares to him. )

You think I worry about you not being able to stop me?

( he knows kol's much older and stronger than him. )

It's how I would think of myself for feeding from you. Especially if I liked it.

( it's a little easier to pick up on kol's thoughts and edward gives a shake of his head. )

I didn't mean you.

( voice tight, he licks over his lips — a huff, then looks down. )

I can't... trust myself with something like that.

( he knows he needs to feed. that the longer he leaves it, the worse it'll become — the weaker he'll get and the more likely it'll become to accidentally harm someone. he doesn't often end up that desperate or that weak, but. it's always a thought that nags at him in the back of his head. how it could be.

something inside him twists — kol's words drifting on his thoughts and he looks up to the other vampire after a moment. )


What if some part of me wants to break it?

You think I'd willingly bite someone else?

( it's said softly — as a joke mostly because... he has no intention of doing that. of biting someone else. of feeding from them. vampire or not.

gaze lingering there on hands that kol holds, he considers the other's words — considers the things inside him and what it is he wants. that alone is always rather complicated for him given the fact that he often feels guilty or wrong for what he wants. truly too hard on himself with what he is and how difficult such a mindset is to shake yourself out of. )


Not here.

( he says then. )

Not so out in the open.

Not out here.

( again, he shakes his head. )

It's too open.

( even if others aren't around, there's a chance he could take off and edward is so very fast. )

I want to go there.

( a beat. a lick of his lips. )

To the rented house.
