Summary
His days were punctuated by a quiet, incessant static. A buzzing akin to that of flies, drawn to the rotten and decaying scent of all that we discard and watch fade. The day tasted bitter and long. The sun beat against his flesh, scorching and its light unforgiving as it illuminated even the smallest of sins. He let wine coat his tongue, a bitter reminder of his reality. Of his flesh, rotting in the afternoon sun. Of the buzzing, a gentle reminder and promise by the flies that he was dying. But heaven did not await him. He should have known that by now. The Devil was real. And he wasn't a red man with horns and a tail. He was beautiful because he's a fallen angel, and he used to be God's favorite.

Summary
Eddie had never given much thought to dying, at least, he would deny ever doing so— though he'd had reason enough in the last few months —but even if he had, he wouldn't have imagined it like this. At least it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone he loved. Noble, even. Brave. That ought to count for something, right?
He knew that if he had never come to Forks, he would not be staring at the eyes of death in this moment. But, as terrified as Eddie was, he could not bring himself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not unreasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

Summary
In his dreams, he would imagine Will’s lips, kisses carving him out like switchblades, but Michael never felt more at home than at the faux cathedral of love he had built at Will’s feet. Will was pure in every way Michael was corrupt. Will’s love was beautiful while Mike’s burned and clawed, it ripped to shreds and bled. This was why he never told Will, nor Lucas, nor Dustin, nor Nancy. How could he ruin such a beautiful soul? How could he ever be worthy of such divinity?

Summary
Teeth pierced flesh, blood flowing freely down his throat. The copper smell was only distinguishable if focused on, his mind occupied by the blissful ecstasy that was consuming. The steady thrum of heartbeat palpable on his tongue, his head fogged with the heady smell of rot and decay. Blood covered his hands, his tongue, his throat, his chest. Harsh crimson contrasting with ivory white.
They sat in that room, both victims of their nature. To their instincts. And so, he fed.

Summary
“You know, once you do it the first time, it’s really not that big of a deal anymore,” Richie says, his tone comforting. Eddie feels his shoulders relax at his words.
“Sure, but when is that ever going to happen?” Eddie complains, shrugging hopelessly. “People don’t like me as is, I doubt someone would like me enough to want to put their mouth anywhere near me.”
“I put my mouth near you all the time,” Richie replies, then pulls a sour face like he wants to suck the words back in.

Summary
It’s a miracle Eddie even has sex with him in the first place, it would be unfair of him to start demanding more. He doesn’t need more. Really, he doesn’t! Richie is completely fine with the whole friends-with-benefits thing they’ve got going on. He’s more than fine with it! He loves it! It’s great! Life has never been better!
At least, that’s what he’s been telling himself these past few months.
But now, he’s standing in a room full of drunk college students, red solo cup scrunched in his fist, pop rock blasting loudly in his ears, and every muscle in his entire body is locked up, frozen in dread - because Eddie is talking to a girl. More specifically, a girl is talking to Eddie. And she has her hand on his arm. And she’s hot. And he’s looking at her tits.
Richie sees Eddie, his roommate/ bestfriend/ fuckbuddy, getting hit on and fails to react appropriately. Epically. Fails.
