His inner feelings for Takun mixed with his bloodlust makes for an interesting explaination to his friend who, as he always believed, is a horrible match for Takun

Ruki & Travis (c) me

Takun (c) a friend

He's a real killer.

I doubt he has any sympathy in that icy heart of his.

We hear all these warnings but he's just so damn irresistible.

I think he knows it too.

He basks in all of our gossiping.

But I just can't stop.

Matsumoto Takanori. Bad boy number 2 of the school.

Heart throb number 1. Suspected player.

But who can deny that they thought about being with him at least once?

Takanori sat at the lunch table, not eating anything. He had a bottle of flavored water in front of him and it was barely tapped into. He stared ahead at the two boys at his table; one with shoulder length blonde hair and a black streak in his bangs and another with long black hair pulled into a ponytail. His ears were deaf to what they were talking about. He didn't care. His amber eyes seemed dull behind his black rimmed glasses but all the girls around his lunch table were swooning at them. Takanori closed his eyes and took a deep breath, finally waking up to the world around him.

"You going to call her?" The long ebony haired boy asked the blonde.

The blonde scoffed and dug into his spaghetti. "Yea right. She was so annoying and such a waste of money."

Takanori had enough of the conversation after two sentences. He stood up, grabbing his water bottle by the cap, and walked off. He heard his friends call after him but he made no notion that he wanted to hear them. He exited the cafeteria and found himself wondering the empty halls. Takanori stopped to hide away in an old computer lab. He kept the lights off and went to sit at a study table in the middle of the room. He set his water bottle in front of him and stared at it for a moment before resting his head in his arms. Takanori closed his eyes and tried to settle down, sleep maybe, before he thought too much.

After a few minutes, the bell for classes rang and woke the boy up. He stretched in the seat but didn't get up. He felt no need to go to AP biology. The chemicals mixed with animal blood during their dissection of fetus pigs would be a lot for him to handle. He wouldn't be able to keep his composure.

I could say I got sick… but I can't go to the nurse. Well fuck, guess I'm screwed. Oh well.

Takanori heard the computer lab door open and someone enter. Whoever it was didn't turn the lights on as they made their way over to him. He looked up to see a younger looking boy staring at him with big eyes. He was about to get up before the boy put a hand up.

"I didn't mean to disturb you, Takanori. I just saw you leave the cafeteria and you don't look well. Are you ok?" He asked, concerned for the taller boy.

Takanori looked away and sighed, "I'm fine. You should go to class."

He felt the boy step closer and clenched his jaw. This was the part he hated- the mind teetering on the edge of human and monster. He pushed his chair back and stood up, trying to create as much distance between him and the boy as he could. When he looked up, the little light in the room hit the other and he recognized the boy's face. Takanori remembered being in English and Geometry with him and how Travis had a special thing for the boy. As he thought back, the boy's name flooded his head and he nodded to himself. Takun. As he began to remember the classes and work with him, a scent filled his nose and his eyes darted around the room.

Where is that smell coming from? It's so rich and strong but… it can't be an open wound.

Takanori looked to Takun and gasped lightly, seeing him just a foot from him. He couldn't back up anymore as he felt his hips press against the tables where computers sat. His jaw clenched the more he stared at Takun and his eyes stayed locked on the boy.

"You sure you're ok? You look sick." Takun tilted his head and the scent got stronger, almost knocking Takanori over the edge.

Takanori looked away from Takun, speaking through his teeth. "I'm fine. I just need air."

"Ok…" Takun moved away to open the few windows in the computer lab. He heard the clamor of chairs and turned around to see Takanori hiding in the still dark spot of the room. He blinked and shut the windows. "You're not ok… does the sunlight bother you?"

"No. Just… can you leave? I want to be by myself." Takanori covered his mouth and kept his eyes shut as he slinked out of the corner to stand in the middle of the room by the study table. He hated how rude he sounded. He cleared his throat and tried to sound calmer, "I'm sorry if I was rude. No, I don't feel well but it's something I'll get over. I just need to be left alone."

"You weren't rude." Takun smiled, starting to walk back over to Takanori. The scent got stronger and weakened the taller boy without Takun realizing what was going on. "What's wrong with you?"

"Stomach ache and just nauseous." Takanori said quickly, keeping his mouth covered as he felt the fangs push through his gums. He knew what was happening to him and tried to stop it but, the more Takun stayed around, the harder it became. He never noticed the smell before in class with the boy but it was probably because he was never hungry during those times. He hurried to take his water bottle and start drinking down the rest of the contents but it didn't satisfy him; it only made it worse. The liquid teased his taste buds and the back of his mind screamed for something warmer; something thicker and richer in taste. His mind ordered him to attack the source in the room with no remorse but Takanori crushed the bottle in defiance.

"I can go get you some medicine from the nurse if you want." Takun offered.

Stop talking. Leave the room, please. I don't want to hurt you. I can't break at school… Saite will kill me. Please… go. Don't make me be mean.

When Takanori didn't speak, Takun walked over to put a hand on the taller boy's shoulder. That triggered it. Takanori's eyes were engulfed in crimson as he whipped around to grab Takun's wrists and pin him to the study table. Takun's eyes widened as Takanori straddled over him and bared his fangs. When Takanori spoke, it was deeper than his normal voice and had a threatening bite to it, "Don't say a word. Not a sound."

"I knew it." Takun smiled, staring up into the crimson eyes. "I knew you weren't human. I could tell from how your friends regarded you. You're a vampire."

Takanori sighed. "And you won't tell a soul if I let you go?"

"Of course not. I'd be a hypocrite if I did. I'm not quite human myself." Takun kept smiling up at the vampire which made Takanori uneasy.

Takanori leaned down to press his lips against Takun's neck and breathed in the scent from before. The vampire got dizzy off the smell for a moment. After he recovered, he bit into the skin and punctured the carotid artery, releasing a vast amount of blood into his mouth. He swallowed it down quickly before regaining some humanity. He licked the holes to heal the wound slightly and slow the bleeding. He healed the wound on the neck completely but his hunger wasn't satisfied.

The vampire moved to one of Takun's arms he had pinned to the table and bit down on the ulnar artery in the forearm, causing a squeak from Takun. Takun's breathing rang in the vampire's ears even though it wasn't very loud. Takanori tried to stop himself but couldn't as he moved to pin both wrists with one hand. He pushed Takun's shirt up and zoned in to bite his side, not aiming for any arteries but muscle. Takun kicked his legs a little and protested, causing Takanori to stop and put a hand over his mouth.

"I told you not to speak."

Takun closed his eyes for a moment before reopening to stare into Takanori's. The look in his eyes made the crimson fade from the vampire's and Takanori let go of Takun, gasping and flying off him. He covered his mouth as the apologies spilled out from behind his hand, "I'm so sorry, Takun. I really am. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry."

"You didn't hurt me." Takun sat up, the wounds healing to scars on his body. He held his head, dizzy from blood loss, but smiled to Takanori. "It takes a lot more than a few pints of blood taken to knock me out."

Tears built up in Takanori's eyes as he turned to leave, mumbling about how he was a monster and would disappear. Takun hurried off the table to hug Takanori from behind before he could open the computer lab door. Takanori stopped, blinking and hands shaking. He glanced down to the hands on his waist and how strong the hold was. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"You shouldn't be holding on to me-"

"You're not a monster. You're far from it. You didn't want to hurt me or anyone for that matter… you said so. I saw you fight it." Takun mumbled into Takanori's back. "I'm the dumbass that wouldn't leave. I knew there was something to you but, like a cat, I'm curious."

"Well… now you know." Takanori whispered, trying to pull away.

"I'm glad I know… and it doesn't change my thoughts about you. You're still nice. You're a good person, Takanori." Takun held tightly, grumbling the more Takanori tried to pull away.

Takanori laughed airily. He put his hands over Takun's to pry them off and turn around. He smiled down to Takun, "you're the first person to say that to me. You still consider me human after what I did."

Takun smiled softly, hiding a blush the best he could. "Of course. And I'll keep your secret, I promise. I won't tell anyone."

"Thank you." Takanori sighed in relief. He was silent for a moment before motioning towards the door, "You should get to class before you get in trouble."

"Ah, right." Takun nodded and hurried out the door. He glanced back to Takanori with a smile before going down the hall to his history class. He apologized to the teacher when he walked in and past the blonde that sat at Takanori's lunch table. The holes on his neck were noticeable to the boy and only he caught them. The blonde's eyes widened before going into a glare, staring at the class room door.

Once class was over, the blonde hunted down Takanori and found him by the lockers. He pinned him against the metal and hissed in his ear, "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Taka-chan?"

"What are you talking about?" Takanori growled. He was backhanded before the same hand went to grip his throat.

The blonde snarled at Takanori, starting to squeeze. "Did you have a good lunch, Taka-chan? Feasting on classmates now?"

Takanori's eyes widened and the blonde smirked, nodding. "Yea. I saw what you did. How could you?"

"It was an accident." Takanori coughed out.

"How is indulging in my possessions an accident?" The blonde's voice rose slightly.

"Travis." Takanori's other friend hissed, pulling back the blonde. "Look."

Travis looked over to see Takun standing there, books in hand and waiting for him. His eyes were wide as he stared at the blonde and finally realized what was making him angry. He put a hand over the scars on his neck and ran off; holding on to his books the best he could.

"Takun!" Travis hollered after him. He gave Takanori one last glare before following Takun, trying to catch up to him.

Takanori looked down, rubbing his throat. He felt a hand on his shoulder and shrugged it off, "I'm going home, Yuu."

"You want me to wa-"

"No… I'll be alright." Takanori smiled to his friend before shutting his locker softly and walking off. He knew he'd have to talk to Travis later and, as much as he knew he shouldn't and probably wouldn't, he wanted to talk to Takun. He felt like he screwed up yet again; that all he did was screw up as of late.

He got home later than usual to find Yuu sitting on his porch. He sighed and shook his head as he got closer, "I said I'll be alright."

"I know. But I also know how you lie." Yuu smiled and stood up, opening the door for Takanori. "I thought Saite would be home… where is he?"

"Probably still at work." Takanori shrugged as he went inside, being followed by Yuu. Once inside, he went up to his room and put his things down beside his bed. He sat down on the edge of the bed to take a deep breath before he was pushed down, pinned by Yuu. "What are you do-"

"Making you feel better." Yuu smiled, staring to unbutton Takanori's school uniform top. "Fixing you like I always do."

"Yuu-kun." Takanori protested but was silenced when Yuu slammed his lips down on the vampire's.

Yuu pulled away after a minute and pushed the sides of the top off Takanori's shoulders. He leaned to kiss Takanori on the collarbone and smiled, "If you're still hungry, you can always bite me. No consequences if you do that."

There was a slight chuckle in Yuu's tone and Takanori relaxed, nodding slightly. The vampire closed his eyes and took a deep breath before reopening them. He gave in and leaned up to start unbuttoning Yuu's uniform top. He pushed a bit more to bite into the lower part of Yuu's neck, drinking in small amounts of blood. It was the same warmth, same thickness but completely different. Before it would satisfy him, but now… it was like flavorless water.
