"With Alicia?" Hayden squinted a bit. "Alicia and I are just friends. Friends who fucked, yeah, but we weren't... Look, it doesn't matter. You're not into dudes, and that's fine. I just still want to be your friend. Can you be that?"
Hayden stepped closer to Fred, unsure if he'd ever seen the vampire get violent before, but knew she was capable of it. He didn't think Fred would take action against him, especially not kill him, but he did want to mend their friendship.
