The Adventures of Mikey Way: New Vampire

After an hour of Mikey explaining vampirism to Gerard, ("no we don't sparkle, yes we can go in the sun but it's better if we wear sunscreen, no I don't kill people, etc), Mikey decided he wanted some different company.
"I want a pet", Mikey declared.
"Um ok? A bit random but sure. What kind do you want?" Gerard replied.
"I want a hamster. Or five. Five is a good number".

Mikey's sudden obsession with getting a hamster should be unsettling. However, vampires often become obsessed with something. This is often sudden and completely random. For example, many 18th century vampires sought to collect furniture or horses. Vampires are also known to become very emotionally attached to their obsessions, resulting in emotional reactions to situations involving these things. Mikey's obsession was now hamsters.....

When the brothers arrived at the pet shop, Mikey went straight for the hamsters. Inside the glass cage were four small hamsters, a black hamster, a white hamster, a brown hamster, and a hamster that was a combination of all three colours. Mikey watched as they scurried around their enclosure. Gerard joined his brother just as two hamsters decided to burrow under a pile of straw.

"Cute. I guess", Gerard mumbled.
"What do you mean you guess?! They are completely adorable and deserve all the love in the world! THE WORLD GERARD!" Mikey yelled at his brother.
People turned to stare at the two brothers after the outburst. Gerard just smiled at them and turned back to his brother.
"Ok Mikey calm down. You can have as many of them as you like. How many was that again?" Gerard tried to soothe his brother.
"Five", Mikey answered.
"Ok I'll get one of the staff to come help us ok?" Gerard told Mikey.
Mikey nodded and Gerard ran off to find the staff before his brother had a meltdown over balls of fur.

Once he found a staff member, he led her back to Mikey. His brother was still pressed against the glass watching the hamsters run around.
"There are only four", Mikey mumbled.
Gerard sensed this was leading to another tantrum due to the lack of one hamster.
"Do you have any more hamsters? We only want one more", Gerard told the girl from the store.
She hesitated before answering.
"We do have one more, but we don't usually sell animals with her..... condition", the girl explained.
"Conditions don't matter! I shall love any and all hamsters!" Declared Mikey.
The girl looked to Gerard for confirmation and he agreed.

While she was gone, Mikey ran around the store collecting supplies. Food, bowls, straw, small houses, hamster balls and more. Gerard watched with fascination as his brother went crazy. He hoped that Mikey's weird behaviour would be restricted to hamsters. Unless it was cleaning, Gerard wouldn't have a problem with that.

The girl returned with a box for the hamsters. She opened the lid revealing a rather..... large hamster. She carefully transferred the animals from the enclosure to the box. Gerard had a suspicion about the fifth hamster, but didn't voice this to his brother. They paid for the animals and other items then returned home.

********

A few days later and the hamsters had settled into Mikey's apartment. They knew where the food bowls were and where it was ok to 'do their business'. Mikey wasn't expecting any trouble from the small creatures.

He got out of bed and wandered to where he put the hamsters overnight. He noticed it was slightly more noisy than it usually was in the mornings. He peered into the enclosure and his jaw dropped open. Instead of four normal hamsters and one large hamster, there were five normal hamsters and five tiny hamsters. The large hamster had given birth the previous night it seemed.

After an hour of fawning over the new babies, Mikey called Gerard to tell him the news. He arrived at Mikey's soon after to help his brother move the older hamsters away from the mother and babies. This resulted in for hamsters running around in hamster balls all over the apartment, after being fed of course. Mikey was delighted that he had more hamsters to love, but Gerard had some ideas.

"Hey Mikey", he called.
"Yeah?"
"Bite one of the hamsters", he said.
Mikey looked at him with wide eyes.
"No".
"But why?" Complained Gerard.
"Because it's a stupid idea", Mikey replied.
"But I wanna see if you can make a vampire hamster", Gerard continued.

The brothers continued arguing until it was time for lunch. The conversation had given Gerard some ideas to test Mikey's vampire powers......

Notes

The idea from this chapter came from the mind of my best friend, so if it's as weird as I think it is, I blame her.

Idk if anyone actually reads this but if you do, and have more ideas for vampire powers (I'm running out :/ ) let me know so I can put them into later chapters.

What will Gerard do to Mikey? I have no idea yet but we shall see.
