Disclaimer: If I owned D. GrayMan, I would be insanely happy, and Kanda and Allen would've been married decades ago.
A/N: Oddly enough, this was inspired by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's "No Air". When I heard the song, vampires instantly came to mind and viola! This fic was born. Enjoy! As always, reviews are greatly appreciated.

Sing me a Lullaby
By: sleepdeprivedsoul
Prologue
Silver and white swam in and out of focus. Something soft touched the side of his face in a tender caress, tucking a stray strand of hair at the back of his ear before returning to his face again to gently rub the soot away. A voice, so soft and sweet like a lullaby drifted to his ears and he closed his eyes to savor both the sound and sensation as he relished in the feelings of safety and comfort it brought him. It was a welcome contrast to the fear, rage, and helplessness that filled his being just moments ago. Though he did not understand the words that were spoken, he relaxed completely under the others' care. Slowly, he was brought up against the other's chest, the scent of lotuses in full bloom encasing him and he inhaled deeply, eager to get rid of the foul stench of blood, gore, and soot that hung in the air.
"I'm so sorry I was too late.", he thought was said, though the darkness that kept pulling at him made the words faint and distorted. Large silver eyes gleaming with unshed tears set in a pale, boyish face, stricken with grief and other emotions his mind could not grasp, filled his vision before the darkness gradually won out and he faded from consciousness.
