He didn’t think much of it the first day he didn’t see Steve. The vampire had his own affairs to attend, though Chris could usually sense when he was lurking. 

The second day every flicker of the shadows caused him to stop and search the shades of black and grey for his otherworldly lover. 

He felt sure Steve would be among the crowd at his performance the next night. He never failed to appear when Chris was singing. He once told him it soothed the Vampire. Storm cloud eyes searched every face, every niche looking for the familiar form. Every set he didn’t appear became a twitch under Chris’ skin, anxiety rolling through his mind. 

Steve’s continued absence brought Chris to the conclusion the old one had tired of his company and moved on. 

There wasn’t enough work or exhaustion to quiet his mind. Dreams of the vampire moved through his mind haunting his sleep. His body and mind ached from the absence of his touch. When Chris looked in the mirror, the face that stared back looked like an addict in rehab and he wondered how he’d survive if Steve were truly gone. 

Finally he acknowledged that the vampire was gone. Determined to not give in to his pain, he began the battle put the vampire in the past. He was a cold hollow void. Chris refused to acknowledge the craving that burned along his nerves. The craving for the touch of inhumanly strong hands, the craving for the burn of fangs at his throat. He shut everything down.
