Yuu pulled out a chair across from Mika. He cleared his throat and swallowed the lump in his throat. "Ehey, Mika?"

Mika looked up from the romance novel. "What is it, Yuu-chan?"

Yuu fiddled with the tablecloth and bit his lip. "W-well...uh...I've heard some rumors..."

Mika raised his eyebrow and closed the novel. "What type of rumors?" He asked.

"Well...I know I haven't been around a lot because of work and so you can't get enough blood.."

Mika nodded, "Yeah? Where are you going with this?"

Yuu gulped and looked up at him. "Mika. Is it true you've been drinking Shinoa's and the others' blood?" Mika said nothing and stared at Yuu blankly. Yuu stared back for a few seconds then looked back down at the tablecloth. "It's... true isn't it?" He asked and stood up.

Mika stood as well and walked over to the opposite side of the small dining room table. "Why would I drink their distasteful blood?" He asked and placed his hand on Yuu's cheek. "Yuu-chan, I would rather die than drink their disgusting, filthy blood; so no, Yuu-chan, I have not been drinking their blood."

Yuu sighed in relief and smiled. "That's a relief.."

Mika chuckled and smiled. "Love 'yuu'"

"I love 'yuu' too.."
