[ Reign nodded to reconfirm it. There was so much that happened after that, but Reign knew it wasn't his right to tell Shell. It wouldn't be fair to any of them. Maybe he might tell Shell, later, bit by bit. If Shell wanted to know, he knew who to look for. ]
Is that the reason why you also don't want to be a vampire?
[ His voice was hesitant and soft, shifting just a tad closer, creating ripples in the pool's water. It had shocked Reign at that time upon watching the memory play out before them, but he wondered if that had also led to Shell's self-reject of what he was.
It kind of made Reign sad that Shell didn't want to be a vampire. He'd been kind of happy when Shell came out to him, glad to have more similarities between them. But if Shell was no longer a vampire, would he still accept his best friend? Reign was almost afraid to imagine if such a day would happen.
And yet, Shell was still Shell, right? No matter if Shell was a vampire or human, his core remained the same. He was still the Shell who had comforted him, went through teenage hormonal experimentation, etc. Shell will always be his Shell, vampire or not. ]
