a/n: Hello there! Chelsea here! After a few hours at work, I decided that I was going to extend and develop more on my Vampire AU Yuri! on ICE fic. So before I begin I will point out now that this story is going to mostly revolve around two Original Characters. The first being a young red-head boy named Aster and the second a young man named Tidus. If you'd like to see how these two look, follow this link:

This fic is also going to include a lot of Otabek Altin and Yuri Plisetsky. Yuri and Aster have a thing (their decided ship name is Asturi) and Otabek and Tidus are also very close (their ship name is Tidabek).

One other thing to mention is that Aster and Tidus are Australian ( I know it probably adds to the cliche but both myself and SunshineBubbles (Aster's creator) are Australian and its much easier to know about weather, towns and other things like that as we live here! So unless mentioned otherwise, it's safe to assume that Aster and Tidus are in Australia)

I will try and update this at least weekly, though I've never actualy written or committed to a fic with chapters before, especially since sometimes I find my own work to be trashy and cliche, but I would really like reviews and tips on how to make it better! So without further ado, please enjoy my first chapter!

Chapter One - How It Began

Creatures of darkness haunt this world. Those who drink from the flowing veins of defensless humans are a hidden plague. They blend in with everyday entities, unknown to the victim that their beloved neighbour is also their greatest predator.

Vampires, although regarded as a myth, stalk the same Earth as the most simple of humans.

There were two kinds of vampires. The rarest kind, pureblood, are persons born from two vampire parents. They age like regular humans until their twenty first birthday, when their body finally ceases to age and grow. They leave the womb craving blood and it is the job of the mother to provide it.

Then there are the turned kind. The ones who are chosen by other vampires, brought to their death beds, then fed the blood of a vampire. The change then occurs. The turned are far harder to tame, and they are instantly bound to their new master. They are obliged to protect their master with their lives, and only if their master is killed are they free. It was rare to see a turned vampire by itself.

Through the years, a small society of humans grew to defend themselves from vampires. They adapted techniques and weapons to aid in the extermination of the monsters. They were the hunters.

As the years went on, the threat of vampires became almost non-existant. Cases of human fatality due to the monstrous beings was almost unheard of, except for a case involving a family of Russian hunters.

The Plisetsky family were well renound hunters. Even their son, who was only twelve at the time, had made a name for himself. He was known as the Russian Ice Tiger. However nothing could prepare even him for the events that took place on his thirteenth birthday...

It was snowing as usual. Yuri could barely remember a day when the sun was out and longed for the warm rays to soak into his soft pale skin. Between skate practise and hunting, Yuri barely had enough time for himself. But he didn't mind. He enjoyed the time he got to spend bonding with his parents, even if all they did was kill.

The thirteen year old forced his skates off his feet and carefully placed the covers over the blades before placing them into his bag. He smiled. His parents promised him a fun night for his birthday and he was definitely holding them to it.

The blond child left the rink dressed in all black. Black jeans, a black shirt and a black jacket. It was easier to hide blood on black after all. He easily and casually walked along the deserted street. It was always like this at this time. The sun was setting and most passers-by were well into their warm dinners, huddled by the warmth of their families. Yuri knew the streets like he knew his skating routine. It was second nature to him now.

Left here, straight for two miles, right at the dark alley and then he was there.

He arrived at a small shop, knocking before entering. It was where he and his parents stored their weapons and other gear. It was mostly unknown to regular people, many regarding it as an antique museum more than anything.

It was a peaceful place.

Usually.

Yuri stepped into the store and was met with a horrible smell. It smelt metallic. It smelt like blood. He flicked on the light, instantly wishing he hadn't. Sprawled on the ground was his father who looked as though all the liquid from his body had been completely drained. He was covered in blood. Yuri felt his mouth begin to water and he doubled over, releasing any and all of the contents of his stomach onto the ground at his feet. He shakily straightened up, his eyes wide. "M-Mama!" he called, unable to see his mother.

A shuffling noise caught his attention and the blonde turned to his right. He saw it. His mother. She was sprawled into the arms of a man, already dead. The man was doing what he had done to Yuri's dad, draining her completely.

Yuri couldn't even move. He knew what he was supposed to do, he knew how to kill. But his parents. His parents had been the best of the best, regarded highly by other hunters. And even they couldn't defend themselves against one vampire.

The creature finished his meal and carelessly dropped the woman to the ground. His glowing red eyes met with Yuri's soft green ones and he gave a bloody smirk. "Ah, a kitten on his own. Are you scared?"

Yuri didn't speak. He couldn't. All he could do was shake.

The vampire merely smirked. He wiped the blood from his mouth with the palm of his hand and approached Yuri. "Such a pretty little boy..." he smirked. He placed his bloody hand against Yuri's cheek and hummed darkly, "I think I'll let you live"

And with that, the man headed for the door. "You'll want revenge I imagine... My name is Alciel. Please don't forget it"

And with no more of a moment passing by, the vampire was gone.

Yuri fell to his knees, heart breaking sobs wracking his small fragile body. Life was never the same for him. He lived with his grand father and ice skated in the day. By night, he slaughtered every and all vampire he came into contact with. He vowed from that night onward that he'd never ever let another vampire live and that he'd get his revenge, even if it killed him.

Aster Moon had always been a trouble maker. Even before his father died. The young vampire would always sneek out of his house and cause panic to his parents. In the end it was how his father ended up dead.

His mother entered a depression. She began to resent her son, and when she remarried, she cared less and less for the red-head boy. She started forgetting to bring him blood packs, neglected to train him on how to use his powers. The child didn't even know how special a pureblood vampire was.

When he was eleven, he started to get into far worse trouble. Running away turned into petty shoplifting, which turned into him getting arrested for stealing a pack of gum. He was just so hungry and wanted something to distract his aching fangs. He'd never bitten anyone or anything before. And he didn't want to. Sure, he was a tough kid and he was definitely more on the bad ass spectrum of cool, but he didn't want to hurt people. He began to resent being born as a vampire.

At court, it was decided that he'd attend correctional classes at the local Ice Skating Rink in Newcastle which was ran by the three time gold medalist for the Junior Grand Prix championships, Tidus Knight.

The classes weren't just for delinquints. In fact, a lot of parents sent children with ADHD and other problems just to get them distractred. So when Tidus was standing in front of the red head, he was a little surprised.

"How old are you again?" Tidus asked, his long hair aside some so he could see properly.

Aster rolled his eyes and folded his arms, looking away. "I'm eleven" he mumbled

Tidus snickered, "You're four years younger than me and you got caught shop lifting? Are you stupid?"

The young vampire's eyes widened, "What! Not as stupid as you look!" he yelled

The older teen just laughed. "What size is your foot? We need to get you some skates" he said and moved to the racks of boots.

Aster shrugged, "I don't know... I don't pay attention."

Again, Tidus laughed. He boy brought his hair back into a pony tail before going to a the rack and picking a pair. It was on the smaller side, but Aster was only young. He hadn't hit puberty. Though neither had Tidus. He moved to the child and crouched down, taking one of his shoes off first to try on the skate. He glanced up when it fit perfectly, only then noticing...

"Oh wow... Your eyes" he said with a smile. "They're two different colours"

It was true. One of Aster's eyes was gold, the other silver. It was very unique and definitely intriguing.

"I've never met anyone else with heterochromia in their eyes" Tidus mumbled and went back to the skates, slipping the other one onto Aster's foot.

"Anyone else..?" Aster questioned. Once the skates were on, he stood and helped Tidus up. It was then that he noticed that Tidus also had two different coloured eyes to some extent.

His right eye was a deep, dark blue while his left one was a vibrant and bright blue. It wasn't really that noticeable unless one was up close.

"Have you ice skated before?" Tidus asked, helping the red- head over to the rink. In the rink there were three other boys, all skating around in circles. It was easy and was a good warm up for the otherwise untrained students.

Aster shook his head.

"How about roller skating?"

Aster shook his head.

Tidus frowned. He helped Aster step onto the ice and said, "Just copy what the others are doing for now" he said and sent Aster on his way. Easily, the boy joined the loop and skated around the rink.

After ten minutes, the strawberry blond boy moved to the centre and began to speak. "I'm going to show you guys how to do a single toe loop. Hopefully by the end of the week you'll all be able to do it" he said with a grin.

"It's important to make sure you work up enough speed" he said, moving from his stand still to a steady skate. "When you jump, make sure you're ready. Don't jump because you feel like you need to because you will fall and you could hurt yourself"

Tidus often found it difficult to explain the jumps, so he decided a more forward approach. Learn by watching. He skated a few circuits before easily hoisting his body into the air and turning one full rotation perfectly and landing effortlessly.

Aster was a little surprised. He couldn't take his eyes off of Tidus. He was captivating. He was beautiful.

"As you practise, you'll be able to do more rotations and maybe even be able to land a quad toe loop" he smiled

One of the boys in the group raised his hand. "What's a quad toe loop?" he asked.

Tidus smiled warmly. "It's what I just did but with four spins... here I'll show you"

Yes. Aster thought to himself. He wanted to see more.

Just like before, he built his speed before suddenly lunging into the jump. With ease, Tidus spun four times and landed like a true professional.

All of the boys except for Aster clapped and began to skate around. They wanted to be able to do a toe loop just like their idol.

The rest of the day had been spent practising jumping and landing. The lesson ended at four in the afternoon, but Tidus stopped Aster from leaving immediately.

"Hey As!" He stopped the boy completely leaving the ice. "Can you... try and do a toe loop for me?"

Aster frowned, "Sure thing Ti" he said with venom in his voice. He hated that he was given a nickname by the stranger.

Without wasting any time, he went into a quick circuit before jumping and landing a triple toe loop on the first turn.

Tidus clapped. "You're a natural!" he said, his eyes brimming with excitement. "How would you like to enter the juniors next year? You wont be able to make it in time for this one... But I think you have enough talent. I'd love to be your coach" he said, still grinning widely.

Aster couldn't help the smile that came to his face. "You... You would?" he asked

Tidus nodded. "This class is only once a week though... But I'm here every afternoon. If you can start coming every day... I'll start teaching you. Free of charge"

Aster smiled, "That sounds great!"

Tidus laughed, "But we need to do something about that hair. You look like a ranga* Levi Ackerman" he snickered.

Aster growled. Without a second thought he slipped his ice skate off and threw it at Tidus, not really meaning to.

He cut into Tidus' jaw, likely going to leave a scar.

Instantly, the blond put his hand over the wound, "Damn... did you have to"

Aster felt his stomach growl. The scent of blood was so good and Tidus smelt so sweet. "I'm sorry..." he said, keeping his eyes down as he all but sprinted from the Skating Rink.

Tidus just sighed and shook his head. "That's going to leave a scar"

Just like he said he would, Aster came back the next day, and the next day after that. The two soon became best friends and had been so for six months. However Tidus learned things about his friend he had never anticipated.

Aster came to the rink with tears in his eyes and without thinking, wrapped his arms around Tidus. The eleven year old was distraught.

"As? What's wrong?" Tidus asked, worry clear in his voice, but Tidus only shook his head.
"Aster... You can tell me if something happened okay?"

Sniffling, the small red-head boy tried to speak up. "R-Richard... my step father he..." he sobbed and scrunched his eyes shut.

"Aster... Did you touch you?" Tidus asked, all seriousness in his voice.

Aster merely nodded.

Tidus felt his body tense up. "Aster did he... touch you in your priva-"

"YES!" Aster almost screamed. He was so scared. He was unable to stop his shaking.

Easily, Tidus picked Aster up and started walk. "You're not going back there. Aster, I promise you that much" he said. He sounded like an adult.

Tidus explained everything to his parents, somewhat to Aster's dismay. But he trusted his friend. He knew Tidus would only do what was best for him.

Aster wasn't sure entirely what was happening, but he knew that the police came and asked him questions, and he knew that he was being moved into Tidus' home. He just clung to his friends hand, blocking out everything else.

It was weeks, but Tidus and his family were finally able to gather the little belongings that Aster had and take them back to their house.

Aster's first time at Tidus' house was far from what he'd expected. The house was huge, more like a mansion. However despite that, he felt more at home than he ever did before.

He wondered how this was going to work. How was he going to eat? Surely they didn't expect him to eat human food, but then again they didn't know what Aster was. He wanted to tell them, but grew worried he'd be thrown to the streets if he mentioned it, so decided to keep it to himself.

However that wouldn't be the case for much longer.

Tidus was often in charge of himself. He got his own dinner, he found his way too and from training and school. His parents, although loved him very much, were quite busy people. They didn't much care for Tidus' skating hobby so compromised that if he organised everything himself, he could continue. And Tidus was fine with that.

"This is my room" Tidus smiled to Aster and put his bags on the bed. "We can share the bed for now until we set up a room for you to stay in. And we can play video games all night" he added with a grin.

He moved to his laptop and typed in, ordering pizza online for them to have for dinner. He knew it wasn't healthy but it was quick and he felt that Aster would hopefully like the treat.

"Tidus... whats going on?" Aster asked, his voice weak.

"You don't know?" Tidus returned a question and moved to the little boy. He took one of his hands and smiled brightly, "You're going to be my brother... Mum and dad are adopting you"

Aster's eyes widened. Was it even true? A family... a loving family of humans was going to adopt him. He found his new brother's smile infectuous and couldn't help but return it. "I'm glad..." he whispered.

Tidus gave a nod. "I'll do anything for you, Aster. I'll protect you just like a big brother should. I promise you that"

Aster just laughed.

They played games until pizza arrived, and Tidus set the box on the floor. "Eat up!" he said, grabbing a slice and taking a bite. It was so good, he hadn't had pizza in so long. However he slowed his eating when he noticed Aster wasn't joining in. "Oh fuck- I mean shoot! I didn't even ask if you like Pizza... or even this pizza! Or if you have allergies! Aster I'm so sorry! I can get you something else if you like!" he insisted and stood up

Aster frowned. He grabbed his brothers hand and shook his head, "I... I can't eat that stuff" he said and looked down. He was scared to tell his brother, but someone needed to know. Otherwise he'd die of starvation. "I... uh... I'm" he didn't know how to word it so he merely opened his mouth.

As he did, two sharp fangs protruded from his gums. They looked painful, and they were. Aster was so hungry. He hadn't eaten more than two blood packs in three weeks. He was almost exhausted he was that hungry,

Tidus stared at his teeth for a moment before his eyes widened. He knew he should be scared however the only words that left his mouth were, "Woah! Way cool!"

Aster was a little taken a back. "I'm sorry... I understand if you want to kick me out.."

Tidus barely even heard him. "Do you drink blood?" He asked, Aster nooded.

The blond went quiet for a moment, "I don't think mum and dad would handle this well... But... here!" he moved his plaited hair aside to reveal his neck and sat with his back to his new brother. "You can drink my blood" he said confidently.

Aster frowned, "Are you sure... I've... never drunk from anyone before.

Tidus just laughed, "Well I told you I'd do anything for you and I'd protect you. What kind of brother would I be if I didn't offer?" he asked

Aster shrugged. "I don't want to hurt you" he said softly

Tidus turned briefly and held out his pinky finger. "I trust you, As. Promise not to kill me and you can drink from me whenever you want to."

The red-head began to feel giddy. He smiled and joined pinky fingers with Tidus. "I promise!"

Tidus nodded. He turned once more and closed his eyes, bracing himself.

However nothing could really prepare him from the feeling of two sharp teeth puncturing his neck. It hurt like hell and all he could do was bite back the pain.

This agreement between them never changed and never stopped, not even as the years went on.

a/n: okay so thats the end of chapter one. I hope it was okay! I didn't realise i'd been writing until two in the morning and so i think now is a good time to stop. I understand the flow might not be great but I wanted to put in the part about yuri first so that there was an understanding about him when he gets introduced later so please bare with me!

i'm also going to warn you now that both Aster and Tidus are sever pottymouths just like myself and SunshineBubbles and the c word may be mentioned in future chapters. please review and tell me how i can improve!

also *ranga (incase you arent a word) is a sort of mean way of saying red head. Well its not mean its just annoying ( i have strawberry blond hair and i get it a lot) its basically derived from orangutan and its just slang us aussies use so yeah!

see you next chapter!
