Warnings: Vampirism (obviously), drama, yaoi

Suichi sighed and pulled his pajama top over his head. With a groan, he crawled into bed and closed his eyes. I wish mother was well… he mused unhappily. This job is so degrading! These unhappy thoughts led him into an uneasy sleep.

The redhead was rudely awakened by a sudden weight on his body. He tried to cry out in alarm, and, to his horror, found a hand clamped over his mouth.

"I can get you out of here…and pay for your precious mother's surgery," a voice purred in his ear. Suichi's eyes widened. "That is… for a price…" the stranger laughed and nibbled on the redhead's ear. The human boy was almost overcome by the strange pheromones which were so thick he could taste them in the air. He whimpered, and strained to see clearer in the dark room.

A breath on his neck caused him to inhale sharply. His captor chuckled and slowly licked a trail up to his chin. Suichi bit his lip and threw his head back, silently begging.

"You don't want to do that until you decide to take up my offer, Suichi," the warning was a husky growl, sending a shiver down the redhead's spine. He brought his head forward again and frantically tried to catch a glimpse of whoever was holding him down. To his relief, the hand was removed from his mouth. Suichi contemplated screaming for help, but the idea dissolved into thin air when his captor caught his freed lips in a suggestive kiss. The human's eyes rolled as the stranger bit down gently on his tongue, sucking on it lightly.

As they parted, Suichi managed to whisper, "Wh- who are you?"

The stranger laughed and nibbled on Suichi's lip. "I don't tell just anyone my name… you have to earn that. But enough fooling around, Suichi. I have a proposition to make," he paused to suck heavily on the redhead's hammering pulse, breathing hotly. Suichi arched his back and whimpered pathetically, completely lost in the hot mouth. "I, my little friend, am what you humans call a 'vampire,'" he continued, purring like a cat.

Suichi froze, the pleasured whine dying on his lips. Suddenly he was all too conscious of his pulse hammering beneath the vampire's tongue, and he shivered in acute fear.

The vamp laughed again and took Suichi's chin in his hand. "I told you before I would pay for your mother's surgery… I will, IF you let me bite you…"

Suichi's fear abated slightly. "B-but I'm bound to this whore house for the next five years, I can't just lea—"

The vampire snorted. "Suichi, I have had three thousand years to accumulate wealth. I could buy you and every whore in this city if I chose, and still have more money than you would ever have in your short human life."

As his last chance of escape died, Suichi's initial panic returned. "What if—what if I say no?" he whispered.

He heard the rustle of cloth as the vamp lord shrugged. "Then you remain a prostitute for the next five years and maybe make enough to pay for your dear mother's operation. Or maybe not. It's your choice, Suichi," as the redhead opened his mouth to refuse, his captor started to speak again, "Don't decide now. I'm giving you until this time tomorrow night to make up your mind. Think about it. I won't force you either way," with those last words, he was gone, as swiftly as he had arrived.

Suichi lay on his back, his heart pounding in his ears. As the panic died, logic moved in and began to argue with his initial instinct to refuse. He's three thousand years old… he could definitely pay for Mother's surgery. But why would he do that? There's no way he's telling the truth! Why would he go through all that trouble just to bite me? Am I really worth that much to him? Suichi rolled over onto his side and stared into the darkness. But on the other hand, I would be free of this place for good… then again, I would just end up being HIS little plaything… is that really any better? I mean, I guess I'd rather "belong" to one person than be shared all around and forced to let myself get fucked up the ass thirteen times a day… Was I not just complaining about how much I hate it here…?

With his thoughts in turmoil, the human once again dropped into sleep.
