Chapter 1: Color Me Timid

Shiki P.O.V

Ugh. Work is such a pain. I had to meet with my manager for the next shoot today, so I got little sleep. Maybe if I got home quick enough I could get in an hour or two of sleep before classes start. Luckily tomorrow both the Day class and the Night class had the day off.

And that gave me more time with Takuma. Even though I seem unfeeling on the outside, I was elated that we had moved on from just being boyfriends. No. We were lovers. We had an intimacy that lovers could enjoy. And no, it wasn't sex (though we had plenty of that too). Sex was a trivial thing in the vampire world. It was a simple pleasure, like chocolate or a good book.

No, we fed off each other. In the vampire world, that's as intimate as you can get. When Takuma found out my mother fed off me, that made out relationship rocky for a week or two. But fights blow over pretty quick when you're as in love as we are.

I walked into our shared room to see Takuma drying his wet hair, fresh out of the communal showers of the Moon Dormitory. My body warmed slightly as I saw he was shirtless, and I suddenly felt more than one type of hunger for my beloved blonde. He looked over with sparkling emerald eyes and swiftly moved to hug me.

"I missed you Senri. How was work?" he asked warmly.

"Ugh. Don't remind me. I have to go back tomorrow for more photo shoot crap. Y manager's a slave driver," I mumbled as my face was nuzzled in the crook of his neck. Damn him for being taller them me.

I felt his gentle chuckle at my annoyed response about my day. "Are you hungry?"

"Mmm not really. But you smell so good…." I purred as I liked a particularly sensitive spot under his jaw. A few nights ago, we discovered what we liked to the "b-spot" or "bite-spot". Being fed off of from this area would instantly arouse you, or, if you were in the act of love-making you would come immediately.

Takuma shivered, but looked shamefully. "Senri please…. not tonight…."

I sighed and pulled away. On the outside, Takuma was the most out-going person you could know, rivaled only by Aidou. But on the inside, he was horribly shy. Close, intimate relationships didn't come easily for him; he had been a virgin before we got together. On top of that, he had low self-esteem. His grandfather saw to that. Ichio had never approved of Takuma's father becoming an actor, and he never approved of Takuma's mother in general, so he constantly talked down about his parents to Takuma.

To top it all off, the man would probably disown him if he found out Takuma was with another guy. Takuma had tried to tell him multiple times, but every time he got close. Ichio would say would something to completely scare him off the topic.

Due to all these things, Takuma could be shy about making love. He rarely got completely undressed. And nine times out of ten he requested the lights be off.

I pulled away from him and changed into my pajamas. Takuma was still standing in the same spot when I slid into bed. "I'm sorry Senri…." He said sadly.

"It's fine Takuma. Get in bed," I requested indifferently. As my lover slipped how to help him break out of his secret shell.

Then it hit me.

Earlier, my manager suggested a nude shot with body paint to "add sex appeal". Secretly, I've always wanted to try something like that. But I said I needed a day to think about it; wanted to make sure Takuma was ok with me posing nude.

Now I had a better idea. I just needed that body paint. Smiling wickedly to myself, I wished my blonde goodnight as I though over my devious plan.

A/N: So here the first chapter of this story. I hope you liked it. I did not come up with this theme; I did type it up but i didn't think about this story. My friend from school wrote it and since she doesn't have an account for fanfiction she ask me to type it up and put it on my account. She probably writes the next chapter this week or when she has time after all she writing lots of other stories for me. So follow and review if you want to know what happens.

Thanks for reading ^^
