Characters/Pairing: Roy/Ed/Rian

Length: 451
Summary: Rian rose with the last hour of daylight.
Rian rose with the last hour of daylight. He could sense the twilight seeping along the edges of the curtains, and he slid out from between identical pools of warmth. Edward did not always sleep the entire day with them – Rian suspected that werewolves simply did not need the same amount of rest as a vampire – but today he had stayed curled up, nearly on top of Rian, his arm thrown over and hand resting on Roy’s back.
Edward didn’t even wake when Rian wormed his way from between them. Roy never woke from his day sleep easy, Rian could roll him over and climb over top and his breathing wouldn’t even change. It was strangely adorable to know that his sire was comfortable being that vulnerable around them.
He wasn’t really used to this, yet. It had been months, nearly a year now and he missed the daylight. It did not scorch his eyes but it was uncomfortable; it was a concession he was willing to make to see the occasional dawn or sunset. Rian padded to the kitchen barefoot and fetched his breakfast, a nearly-expired bag of cold blood. Wishing silently for a better way to warm the coagulated mess, he tore the bag open with his teeth and drained it.
The days were getting longer now. Last year Rian had been made to spend far more time in bed than he had liked – it had taken him months to truly heal and complete the transition from human to full-fledged vampire. Although to be fair to Roy, Rian had slept more than he had ever imagined during that time span, it helped him heal. It seemed like that was all they did in the bright summer months was sleep.
That was actually how Rian learned that the sunlight affected different vampires in different ways. It knocked Roy on his ass, he could get up and function in daylight, but it was a difficult enough task that it was best for him just to sleep through it. Rian, on the other hand, could get up a few hours before dusk and still be an active and productive member of society. Which was, in a word, useful.
Rian crumpled the empty blood bag and binned it. Ed and Roy would not be up for another few hours at least. He could dick around and watch television, or he could go out and see the world a bit.
Deciding on the latter, Rian stepped out into the cool February air. Maybe he would pay the witch a visit.
