Ao no Exorcist - Blue Blood
Chapter One
Three minutes...
Two minutes...
One...
Riiiiing! Riiiiing! the alarm sounded.
Mr. Longdon stepped forward. His voice howled throughout the room as he spoke. "Put your pencils down everyone! The exam is over!"
Rin placed his pencil next to his exam and leaned back on his chair. He let out a sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had done it. He finished his exam right at the last minute, answering every question with his full potential. "I guess studying for three days straight really paid it off", he said to himself.
The students began to file out of the class. Rin followed. As he walked up the aisle, a tint of soft blonde and sparkling eyes stumbled before him. A smile blossomed on her face and Rin predicted that she was confident too.
"Hello Rin!" Shiemi greeted.
"Hey Shiemi! How do you think you did on the exam?"
"I think I did good. I studied a lot, especially with Nii-san. He was very helpful." Shiemi then stopped for a moment. "Oh no! I forgot, I have to go buy my mom some sweet buns! I'll see you later, Rin!" With that, she sprinted out the door.
Once Shiemi was no longer present, Mr. Longdon called out, "Rin, may I have a word with you?"
"What is it? Am I in trouble?"
Mr. Longdon shook his head. "No, no. Nothing of that sort. I just wanted to tell you how amazed I am. You have made sufficient-no, exceptional progress since the beginning of the year. Almost half the year has gone by and you have become one of the top students at True Cross Academy, if not the best! I'm very proud of you." He pat Rin on the back. "Keep up the good work."
"Thanks, Mr. Longdon." He sprinted out the door and headed to his dorm. Although Mr. Longdon had complemented him, it didn't mean anything to Rin. No compliments could match the words that flowed from his lover's mouth, a sweet voice of a rare flower hidden in the abyss of unknown. It was the voice of Yukio that would mean the world to Rin, a sound he could not bear without. The past several weeks of him gone had made Rin uncomfortable staying in the dorm at night. It was empty, cold, and lifeless without him there. A presence Rin missed more than he could ever admit.
As he walked across the field towards the building full of dorms, he spotted a figure at his dorm window. Rin stopped dead in his tracks, observing this mysterious being lurking inside his room. Who could it be? He remembered locking the door. Therefore, no one could have gotten inside. Unless…
Rin blew open the entrance door and raced with lightning speed up towards his room. As he sprinted towards his room, his heart began to race. The body began to feel an increasing heat. His chest was filled with a sensible tingling feeling. Could it be?
Not noticing he had passed his room, he ran backwards. Swiftly, he placed his hand on the door knob. He hesitantly opened the door, as slowly as possible, as if to cherish the beautiful scene that would lay in front of him. Once open, Rin's heart began to ache and his stomach twisted and turned into a thousand knots. A man stood next to his bed covered in a dark cloak from head to toe. His face barely showed, revealing what looked like a tattoo of a pentagram. He turned to face Rin with a sinister smirk on his face.
"Well, well, if it isn't Rin Okumura. It has been quite a while since we've last met, don't you think?" Rin's body froze. He tried to force his legs to sprint down the stairs and out the entrance, but they didn't obey him. "What's going on?" he asked in his mind. "Why can't I move?"
With a flash, the cloaked man pulled out a sword. A mere second flashed before Rin's eyes, followed by large splattering of blood. The red liquid slowly moved, as if to tell Rin, "You are dying." He collapsed on his knees, choking on the blood building in his throat. Another swift move, the sword flew towards Rin's head. Everything turned into total darkness.
"Rin! Rin! Wake up! Rin!"
Rin shot out of bed, gasping, drenched in sweat. His eyes were as open as the clear sky. The muscles in his body became numb and shaking. He suddenly turned to the voice calling him.
"Rin…"
Rin didn't say anything at first. His mouth, dry as a desert, couldn't condense the words he wished to speak. After several minutes, he calmed down some and spoke in a shaky whisper. "I missed you so much."
Yukio stared at him for a bit. Then he sat next to Rin, putting a reassuring hand on his back. "I'm sorry I left you for so long, Nii-san. I wish I could have come earlier, but the mission was so tightly ordered, I couldn't find a way to return quickly." He looked at his brother, guilt building up in his chest. He thought to himself, "Why did I leave him behind to suffer alone?" He then spoke. "I'm sorry…with all my heart."
Rin shook his head and looked at his face. Tears formed in his eyes. "It's not your fault you were gone so long…don't blame yourself. But, it felt so…so empty without you. With no one to talk with on my personal time or help me with my home work. I guess I'm just not so used to it yet."
They both stayed silent for quite a while. The light in the room began to dim as the sun set below the horizon. The atmosphere was tense and unwanted.
Rin broke the silence. "Yukio…I have something I wanted to tell you."
Yukio nodded. "What do you want to tell me?"
"I…I love you."
Yukio stared at him, the expression that expressed nothing. Rin was hoping he would comprehend, but it looked as if he didn't. Yukio stood up and stood in front of Rin's bed, rubbing the back of his head. Then he turned to Rin, his face with the same expression. Rin felt the tears begin to fill his eyes. Unable to take it any longer, he leaped and wrapped his arms around his brother's neck. They both fell to the ground with Yukio on the bottom. Rin looked down at his brother with a sober face.
"Don't you understand? I love you Yukio and I don't mean the brotherly love. I love you as a partner!"
"I know, I know", Yukio protested. A smirk blossomed on his face.
"You...what?"
"I know what you meant; you didn't have to explain it to me, because I love you too." He took both his hands and put them on Rin's cheeks. With a pulling gesture, their lips did what pilgrims do in prayer. They stayed there, locked together by mouth as one. After several minutes, they pulled apart, breathing sharply. The urge exploded and both men suddenly became obsessed with each other. They kissed, hugged, nagging each others lips and body to get closer and closer. The heat within the room intensified as the sun set and darkness conquered. Through their savage kisses and love bites, they managed to speak through their busy actions.
"Does that…mean…you love me…too?" Rin managed to ask.
Yukio bit Rin's collarbone, receiving a moan. "I loved you…since…forever." Yukio then flipped Rin so that Rin was on the bottom and he was on top. He unbuttoned Rin's school shirt, feeling Rin's perfect body all over. Rin gripped Yukio's chocolate hair gently, arching at his touch.
"I'll make you feel perfect tonight."
A/N: Alright! Another one in the can! As you've read, I did a little yaoi in here, though you're not going to see any in-depth "action" between the two until future chapters (sorry to keep you waiting, fellow hard-core yaoi lovers :3)
