Chapter 2: Piano

When Yui was sent to the Sakamaki household she was forced to sleep during day and attend school at night. She had been tossing and turning for what seemed like hours "I can't sleep" She groaned

Finally giving up, she grabbed her jacket and decided to go for a walk "It's still daybreak, I'm sure those lazy vampires are still sleeping"

Carefully taking each step she passed Subaru and Ayato's room successfully without making any ruckus, but a certain vampire caught sight of her.

"Trying to escape, eh?" the vampire blocked her path

She mentally facepalmed "Leave. Me. Alone"

"Heh~" he giggled "You can ask me to do anything, but I can't leave you, because I shall die without you"

"Don't flirt with me with those disgusting mushy lines of yours" she deadpanned "Yuck"

"Little bitch just complemented me" he clapped his hands "Finally you're showing me some affection"

"I did not, and I do not" the human replied dryly "Give it up. Step aside"

"Gift eat up. Stip seaside?"

She doesn't hate the guy, she hates his attitude. This demented person has a strange habit of twisting your words. It annoys her to the extent that she would prefer to be with the bizarre fourth son instead.

"Move. Out. Of. The. Way" the human ordered emphasizing every word

"Dove. At. Uff. Dah. Weigh"

She sighed "Please, stop"

"Piece stuff" he mimicked

"Laito" she scowled "Go to your room and shut your mouth or else I'll sew that"

"Aww~ I like that id-"

The vampire's teasings were interrupted by a loud tud coming from the sixth room "I'm trying to sleep, Laito" between split seconds the youngest appeared

Laito smirked "Subatsuntsun won't let us go unless he crushes one of us, this is what you get for waking him up. What should we do?"

"I did not. I was quietly sneaking out here, and you ju-Wha-"

Laito carried her bridal style and teleported to a room she isn't familiar of. A piano is visible at the dim corner of the room. She looked at the vampire cautiously, it's hard to read what's on his mind. He's the type who seems to be a debonair and a blithe, but personally he isn't, that's just something he uses as a defense to prevent other people from getting into him.

"Why are we here?" her brows furrowed "Where is here?"

"Little bitch, when are you going to stop asking 'why' is 'why'?" he gently put her down "When is when, where is where, how is ho-"

"Until my questions are answered"

"I just saved you from Subaru's wrath" he pouted "I deserve your gratitude"

"It doesn't suit you"

"That's mean, little bitch"

"Subaru is preferable than you. I'm obviously devastated to be alone with you in a creepy room. So, technically speaking you don't deserve a thank you"

"You keep on blurting out lies" he scoffed "We both know that your actions always contradicts your words, and your words contradicts eachother"

"You're just jealous"

"I'm not, little bitch" he defendend "I can pleasure you to your heart's content, until the only word you know is my name. You know you're mine"

His words are of a lover's, but the expression he has is enough for her to doubt. His mouth reeks of lies, and his eyes are clouded with lust. His like a spider, he'll lure you into his trap with his lies, he'll slowly poison your mind until you break, and before you know it you've been devoured by this creature.

"You talk like a lover but you don't act like one"

"Do you want me to?"

"You're not my lover"

"Then, be mine and I can be yours"

"Those words are promising, but you're talking absolute nonesense"

"Am I?"

"There's no love in those words"

"Is that what you want little bitch, love?" he smirked "You humans are fools"

"We're fools indeed" she agreed "Our selfish desires, our God, our folish believes, the way we cling to life and fear death is pathetic" she added "But, that's what makes us different from you?"

"You're weird"

"I just view life differently"

He raised a brow "Does that mean you admit you're weak?"

"I-"

Before she could make a sentence the vampire grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. He smiled alluringly, exposing his fangs "Are you scared?" he teased "If you strongly believe in him, he'll save you. Call to your God"

"I don't understand why I believe" she replied "Even so, I can't stop believing. I'm just a human, I'm weak, that's why I need to believe"

"If you know that" he mocked "Then why do yo-"

"God loves me, he died in the cross to save me from my sins. I'll endure and accept the life he gave me" her genuine smile turned into a grimace "That's what you're expecting me to say, that's what I wanted to say-but he isn't real, God isn't real, he's just an illusion made by man to ease our minds from death. There's no such thing as an unconditional love"

The vampire was taken aback "You really are something. You're giving me a headache"

"You're starting to sound like Reiji" she pointed out "Soon before you know it you're already a tableware addict"

She was expecting a great comeback from the vampire, but he laughed instead. "So, why are you wandering around the mansion while the sun is still up? If Reiji knew you'll be in trouble"

"I can't sleep" she smiled playfully "And you're not helping me"

Satisfaction is drawn all over the vampire's face, just seeing this human smile, the vampire feels contentment, he couldn't ask for more. This nostalgic feeling somehow reminds him of something he had forgotten.

The human raised a brow "Why the hell are you smiling?"

"Come here"

"Where?"

A mesmerizing smile spread across his face. The vampire sat at the piano stool and patted the side of the seat inviting the human to sit beside him, and she did.

"You can play?"

The vampire shrugged "Sort of"

There were a few long minutes of absolute silence, but after a while the tinkling sounds started up. The vampire shifted his fingers threw the piano open and pushed this key and that key. The enchanting and somewhat mesmerizing tune rang through the mansion. With the ending, he had his fingers relaxed and pressed less pressure on the keys as the ending faded quietly, and softly.

"Splendid" the human complimented

His lips curled up into a smile. A smile that's genuine and full of sincerity 'You're teaching me how to be selfish, little bitch. Know I want you all for myself'

"Can you play another one?"

"Anything for you, little bitch"

His fingers kept flying so fast she couldn't keep up to this beautiful, yet haunting peace. Across the notes, black keys, white keys, the vampire played even with his eyes closed. She leaned against Laito as she let her eyes flutter close, and her mind wanders over the obscure thoughts and worries that become present when nothing is holding her attention, she slipped into oblivion.

"Thank you"
