Sadly, I do not own (nor will I ever own):
Candy by Paolo Nutini
Kain Akatsuki and Ruka Souen by Matsuri Hino
Ruka had decided to wander the grounds aimlessly, just to explore. She really wanted to get her mind off of Kain. Kain was forced to leave her with Hanabusa and Yuuki at the mansion while he went with Kaname to a meeting. Aidou was inside tutoring Yuuki.
As she strolled through the forest, she heard a clap of thunder. The lightning then struck a tree in the distance. The rain started to drench poor Ruka, who did not think of bringing an umbrella. She ran into the house as fast as possible.
I was perched outside in the pouring rain, trying to make myself a sail. Then I'll float to you my darling, with the evening on my tail.
"Hahaha! Ruka you're soaked!" Aidou exclaimed as she entered the door. She threw a look at him and continued to the kitchen. He followed. She put the teapot on to boil. Aidou started again. "Let me guess: a stupid blonde like you forgot to check the forecast and bring an umbrella?"
She glared at him. Suddenly she grabbed all of the hair and flipped it towards Hanabusa. He was then coated with rain from her hair. He was seething.
"RUKA! THIS WAS MY FAVORITE OUTFIT! AHHHH! MY HAIR! IT TOOK FOREVER!" he screamed. "You are so DEAD!"
In reaction to that, she left and took a shower. In the middle of her mind numbing hot shower, it went instantly freezing. She tried to change the temperature back to hot, mistakenly thinking the hot water ran out. It didn't work. 'Dammit Hanabusa!' she mentally shouted. Then the water slowly froze in place.
"SHITSHITSHITSHIT!" She shouted just before the water froze her face.
A few hours later, Kain finally came back with Kaname. He excused himself, and started to get ready for bed, exhausted from the day's meeting. He grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom for a shower. When he pushed back the curtain to turn on the water, he jumped. A beautiful ice sculpture was in it. He looked closer and realized what- who- it was. She blinked.
"HANABUSA!" he yelled, just like a drill sergeant. Hanabusa heard, and realized he 'forgot' to defrost her. He was thinking it was safer with her frozen. He gulped and ran to the library.
Meanwhile, Kain had started defrosting Ruka. He heated up his hands and slowly melted away the ice. He rubbed his hands up and down the ice on her body, starting with her head. When he was done with that, he saw Ruka slip a tear down her cheek. When he was done helping Ruka, he would strangle Aidou.
Although not the most honest means of travel it gets me there nonetheless. I'm a heartless man at worst babe, and a helpless one at best.
Thirty minutes of excruciating pain later, Kain slowly held Ruka by her waist and put her in the huge Jacuzzi tub. He turned on the warm water for her to bathe. "I will be right back." he promised, and she nodded. He followed Aidou's scent to the library. He let out all his anger.
All Ruka could hear was slamming and shouts, mostly girlish ones from Hanabusa. She couldn't believe he did that! She probably had hypothermia now because of him. Thank God for Kain wanting to take his shower. He had single-handedly saved her from certain death.
The door handle slowly turned and Kain came in. Ruka looked up at him. He looked so sorry to her.
"Thank you." she whispered to him, still shivering from being frozen. He nodded, and walked over to her in the tub. He stepped into it and sat on the edge, his legs spread out next to Ruka's sides. He grabbed a comb and started detangling her hair. Then he grabbed a washcloth and started washing her back.
Darling I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes. Just give me some candy, before I go. Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay down on your rug, just give me some candy, after my heart.
He helped her into a towel and picked her up bridal style. He strode over to her bed and sat her down. He grabbed pajamas out of her dresser. "Here," he said.
"Umm... you forgot the underwear." she said shyly. She pointed to the top drawer on the right. "Everything is in there." She blushed when he pulled out a lacy thong.
"I'm going to shower while you get dressed. Aidou might come in to apologize." he warned.
She dressed quickly, grabbing a pair of extra fuzzy socks to put her still cold feet into. She sat up in bed and started to read. Sure enough, Aidou came in, dressed in his pajamas.
"I'm sorry I froze the water while you were taking a shower. And I'm sorry Kain had to punish me when he found out." She just glared at him, heartlessly.
"Get out." she said assertively. She was not in the mood to deal with his smart ass tonight.
"You won't accept it? Then I'm not leaving." He moved closer to the bed.
"I said get OUT!" she yelled. Kain flew open the door, he had heard everything. He glanced at Ruka.
"You heard her. Now get out before I make you." The carpet around Aidou's feet started to smoke. He ran as fast as a jack rabbit out of the room.
Oh and I'm often false explaining. But to her it plays out the same. Although I'm left defeated, it gets held against my name.
I know you got plenty to offer baby. But I guess I've taken quite enough. While I'm some stain there on your bed sheet, you're my diamond in the rough.
Kain walked over to the other side of the bed, and sat next to her. He looked into her eyes, and asked if she were cold.
"I can't feel my extremities. I can move them, but that's it." she frowned. Kain swore if she got nerve damage, he would burn Aidou alive. She smiled at that. He hugged her and got up.
"I will be in my room." he said, walking to the conjoined bathroom they shared.
Darling I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes. Just give me some candy, before I go. Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay down on your rug, just give me some candy, after my heart.
"Kain." she whispered. He had heard it and stopped. "Kain, thank you. You have no idea how much it means to me. But... do you have to..." He turned around. As if reading her mind, he sat down next to her. "Please always keep me warm." 'Please never leave me,' she wanted to say.
I know that there's writings on the wall. But darling I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes, just give me some candy, before I go. Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay down on your rug, just give me some candy, after my heart.
She reached out for him, and embraced him. He held her and tried to conceal her smaller body with his. She shivered again. He stared at the fire place until it lit.
Oh and I'll be there waiting for you. You know that I'll be there waiting for you. Oh, I'll be there waiting for you. Oh, I'll be there waiting for you.
He laid himself down, and brought her body close to his. Her face was in the crook of his neck, and her small feet were on top of his, and through her socks, she could still feel his body heat. She snuggled closer to him. He sighed.
"Kain, I want to be here, right here, always." She said, trying to envelop her body over hers, to stay warm. He was shocked; this was the first time she actually said anything romantic about their future.
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you. Oh, I'll be there waiting for you.
"You will always be there." he kissed her forehead. She smiled genuinely, the first time in a while. He enclosed her tighter, only thinking of the few centimeters that separated them.
All the cutthroats and their jagged edges. All of them got me waiting and waiting. All the cheap and the sugary philosophies have got me there on the fence just waiting and waiting.
All the angels and their halos. All they do is keep me waiting and waiting. All the cutthroats and their jagged edges. All of them got me waiting and waiting.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled her body up to his face. His hands slipped to her hips. She took his face by force and kissed him until she felt blood escape his lips.
He looked into her eyes, and noticed that both pairs of irises had become red with lust. He pushed her down to his neck, and let her take the first bite. He felt a kiss and a gentle sting. She finished and licked her lips, and kissed her bite mark. He slowly moved down her generous body. He tilted her head back slightly, and played with her hair. He caressed her neck and nuzzled it, finding the perfect spot. He bite was fast and, strangely, pain free.
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies have got me there on the fence just waiting and waiting.
Her blood tasted like honey and rose bud tea. He felt her teeth chatter uncontrollably, and released her. He licked and kissed his point of entrance. He whispered to her almost slumbering form. "My angel..."
All the angels and their halos. All they do is keep me waiting and waiting.
He slept with her underneath him, always protecting her subconsciously. They dreamed the same dream that night... of a blissful day under the warm sun, lazing about in each others arms.
