BRIAN HAROLD MAY — 4.

You're dating the ideal man, it's just that he's a older. He's just a little older...

He's Brian May, an astrophysicist. You were initially surprised to hear about his profession, but then you got used to it.

You and he met in a setting that had nothing to do with astronomy or the universe.

Meeting at an medieval exhibition, you soon realize he really knows a lot about that era. You've also recently taken a liking to medieval topics, you were very interested in befriending him; it's rare to meet someone like that, so you want to talk to him more.

Initially, the topics were about the Middle Ages, such as armor and battles, then... they shifted to more intimate and personal themes. They've changed, but that doesn't make you or Brian feel uncomfortable.

And as things stand now, you and Brian are a couple! You even lived together because you suggested it to Brian and went to his house.

But you start noticing some strange things about your lover.

Brian's house hardly has any mirrors, he doesn't eat or drink anything in front of you, avoids going out in the day and... strangely enough, he even avoids going to church or sacred places like holy land, even if it's just to visit. Initially, you might think that's acceptable because... It's normal; sometimes people are odd!

One day, you wake up in the middle of the night, go into the kitchen to get some water to quench your parched throat then... You see Brian... drinking blood from a bag.

What happened next is well known; eventually, his secret was discovered: Brian was a vampire from the Middle Ages.

You've accepted it now.

Today is a unfortunate day. You accidentally cooked with rosemary and garlic, that's because you thought he had gone to work! When Brian smells garlic, he gets terrified and sulks at you for over ten minutes because of it.

You try to appease Brian, speak sweetly, but he just sits there and turns away to show his refusal, continuing to sulk.

"Leave, you still smell of garlic..." He sniffled.
