Author's Note: This is my interpretation of a scene from the manga, chapter 23. Enjoy the madness.
oOo
She cut herself again?
On the tip of her finger, a drop of blood beads up, red and shining.
It smells delicious...What a terrible thing to think. I must be a monster...
Zero watches Yuki as she holds her finger in her other hand. She looks at him. "Lick it," she says. Her big brown eyes are so innocent.
I shouldn't. If I do… I won't be able to stop.
She holds it up to him. Before he knows he's doing it, he takes the tip of her finger into his mouth. His tongue rolls over her nail. He follows the trail that has escaped down the side of her finger. She makes a little gasping noise. His hunger is further enticed.
I shouldn't be doing this.
Yet he's done it before. She wants him to. She wants him to be okay.
But this isn't okay.
As he licks down toward her wrist, Zero finds himself wondering why she tastes so wonderful. He's almost positively sure no one else would taste this good. He's never smelled anyone so tempting before. He clenches at his chest as he struggles for control. He faces away from her, yet he can't let go of her arm.
"No. Don't deny it. Only I know… that Zero is starving…" Her face is full of concern.
Why? Why do you say these torturous things? "Yuki…" Zero murmurs into her wrist. He holds the bare soft skin close. He is breathing heavily and the sensation makes the fine hair on her arm rise.
I'm a terrible human being…
He sinks his fangs into her wrist. She winces in pain.
But I'm not a human being.
"Ow…" She whimpers.
I'm a terrible friend.
