Looks

"What do I look like?"

Sadius looked at Hoover. He knew what his friend meant, though they'd never asked each other this before. They'd never felt the need to. For them, there were only a few things that they really felt the need to do. Those things were eat, drink, follow the laws that kept them under control so they didn't hurt others. That's it.

Being Vampires, they didn't have to worry about a lot. Breathing being one of them. You'd be surprised at how much easier life gets when breathing isn't a thing you have to worry about.

But it's not all good. The main problem being that because Vampires have half of their souls in the afterlife, and the other on Earth, they can't be seen in the mirror. So they don't know what they look like. Sadius couldn't remember whether or not he had blue eyes or green eyes, whether his hair was black or blond. Most of the time it didn't bother Vampires, they could care less about what they looked like, because when you've been alive for four hundred years what you look like starts to not matter.

"Why do you ask?" Hoover asked his best friend, not looking over at him as they laid in a grassy field at two in the morning.

"Well, I saw Maria yesterday, you know my human friend, and she was looking in the mirror at herself, putting her makeup on. I forgot, for a moment, what I was and walked up to the mirror. I thought I was going to see myself and when I didn't, I thought my heart was going to stop. But it didn't, because it stopped a long time ago."

Hoover nodded his head and glanced at his friend.

"Well, you've got blue hair."

"Blue hair?"

"Sully dyed it when you were sleeping the other day."

Sadius nodded his head. "And you've got dark hair. It's like brown in the light and black in the dark. It's weird man."

"And you- And you've got eyes! Grey eyes! They look like storm clouds!"

"Well your eyes look like the grass! Like the grass that cows eat!"

"And you've got freckles! It's like someone sprinkled cinnamon on your face! It looks so funny!"

"Oh yeah? Well you've got a mole of your ear! Right on the shell."

"Do I? That's so weird!"

"I know right!"

"You know what's weirder? The sky. Sometimes it's cloudy, sometimes it's clear. Like, who decides that?"

Hoover shrugged "I dunno dude. But what's weirder is that we haven't discovered most of the ocean!"

"What do you mean?"

"Only 75% of the ocean has been discovered! There could be Atlantis down there for all we know!"

"Would Atlantis have fish in it?"

"Uh-huh. And they'd look like the fish-like birthmark on your back!"

"I've got a birthmark?"

"Yup!"

"Sweet."

Sort:  

yep... you've got a birthmark. shall I scan you? :>D

love d

Good twist! Most vampire in stories now seem very focused on how they look! To have been alive long enough not to 'care' how you look would be awesome!
