Vamp carrid on from QotD by Anne Rice
After Thought.
by BANE Huntress (2000)
The night life in London was teaming, people trouped about the
streets and in what the English called Pub and night club's
streaming there neon light's and noice onto the streets with a
couple of muscula bouncer's dreassed neetly in black stood at
there door's looking menasing.
Lestat sterad out the window of the Yuppy cafe they had found in
the heart of all the bussle of the night, he watched as couples
and groups of friend's walked by loughing and jocking with each
other.
With a smile he looked back at the figure sat across from him,
black hair falling loosly in frunt of dazzaling green eye's as
his perfect brows where drawn together as he looked at the bill
the waitress had just left.
After everything that had happend over the year's, Louis was the
only other Vampire he had spent a mortal life time with, apeart
from Gabriel, but when he was mortal she wasn't really around,
then she had left him. Louis was the first person he had ever
chose to be with, he only created Claudia to keep Louis from
leaving him, and even though he had loved her too, and he could
almost forgive her trying to kill him, he knew if it was Louis
who had done it, he would have forgiven him everything, he still
would.
He began a low laugh as Louis frouned up at him, Like he had so
many time's in the past.
He loved Marius, still did, but as an adviser, an equal as just
for being Marius. He had loved Akasha too. and he loved all of
those left... but after all the vails of power and illusion had
been taken away, and after his time of greaving. Slowly the
layer's and variaity of difrent kind's of love had been revealed
to him.
And he realised he Loved Louis in a way he had never loved anyone
else, it thrilled him just to tuch that purfect face, to hold the
long slender hands as they walked together in silance, to have
them green eye's look at him the way they did now, to watch every
expretion that crossed his featchers from out right discused to
sorrow and back again to the rear smiles he would give with his
full lips. even the lushas black mussed black hair.
He rested his chin on a hand as he refused to answer Louis
questioning look, all to human, There was also the thing he loved
about Louis, his ever mortal habbit's, his almost constent denial
of his dark gift and his ever disaproval of almost everything
Lestat did.
"What are you so smug about?" Louis finaly asked, he
was probably still worrying about the clothes shop they had
brocken into to get the long black overcoat with the black fur
trim Louis now ware, and even that thrilled Lestat, seeing that
long slender body in something as simple as a long fitting coat.
"Nothing" Lestat answerd then grinned. "You."
Louis sighed deeply, "The others arnt going to be happy
about what we did." he said his brow once again drawn
together.
Lastat resed an eyebrow of his own, 'we did'. he notised not 'you
did'. he smiled again and felt a laugh bubbaling to the surfic
again. "Louis, Louis" he grinned, as he used his old
tone of voice, "You know no rules will ever keep me from
bracking them."
Louis sighed again but a small smile did tuch his pail lips.
"But what about Tilbot? what are you going to do about that?..."
he suddenly sighed even deeper and sat back in his chair. "But
I supose we have gone over this already."
Lestat couldnt help but grin as he nodded.
"I dont know why you just cant admit you dont know what your
going to do untill you have done it." Louis said as he
played with his cup of coffee.
Lestat sat back also, "Ok.. I'll admit it this time".
he said softly makeing Louis look up at him with wide eye's, then
he smiled again.
"Thankyou."
They fell into there comftorbal silanse again just looking at one
another. Lestat still loved the way Louis scrutanised everything
about him, his eye's always seeming full of wonder.
Finaly Lestat could take it no longer. "Have you missed me?"
he asked suddenly, befor Louis there was his mother and the
mistereus Marius, untill they met and parted, but in the back of
his mind Louis had never really been far from his thought's and
dream's.
Louis brought his eye's up to his blue one's, he looked almost as
if he was blushing, as blood of there last kill came to his
cheakes. "I think you know the answer to that one" he
murmourd softly.
"But I want to hear you say it Louis" he pushed, "I
know if you say it, it come's from your heart..."
Louis looked away, out the window. At first Lestat thought he
wouldnt answer, but he looked back.
"When I'm with you I wish you would just be..." he
shruged as if lost for word's, "more amicable, not so rash
or stuban" he smiled slightly, "but then I know that
it's not you... But when I'm not with you..." he shruged
again then sighed. "When I saw you at the Theater des
Vampires I was still angry at you... then after Claudia..."
He fell silant and his eye's darkend in sorrow.
Lestat could almost feel that pain, after all he had verchaly
condemed little Claudia to her fait, on impule he reached across
the table and took one of Louis hand's in his own, at first Louis
looked at it then up at him with a crookid smile. but Lestat
didnt let his hold go.
"I could think of nothing but her for a long time... Not
evan Armand could brack my melancolie, I think he was jelus when
I began to ask about you, to look for you..." His smile
broudend as he squeased Lestat's hand a bit. "So, Yes,
Lestat... I missed you."
Lestat's heart sourd as he laughed his plesher, "I missed
you too Louis!" He brought Louis hand up to his mouth and
kissed his nuckales, "My sweet, innocent Louis!"
Louis withdruw his hand then looked around the quiat Cafe to see
if anyone had over heard. "Lestat.." he mumbaled in
embarisment.
"What you are ashaimed of? My afection towards you. Louis?!"
he grinned broudly, supressing his urg to laugh out loud.
Louis lowed his eye's but he smiled non the less. "You are
incorigable Lestat... I dont know why I suffer you so..."
"Cos you love me." Lestat said off hand as he stood.
"Come on let's see if we can find a nice dark and loud night
club."
Louis looked up with a worrid froun, "Loude?"
Lestat laughed again, "Ya... Some place where we wont be
notised... I heard of something called the Tortcher Gardens..."
Louis suddenly look stricken.
Lestat winked at him as he pulled Louis new coat from the back of
the chair and held it up for him to slip into. "I just want
to find somewhere with life!... the night's still young here!"
Louis stood up and put his arm's through the sleaves and Lestat
fited it upon his shoulders then sliped his arm through Louis as
he half draged him out into the cold night.
