SOTP: Hey guys! Sorry this one took a while, but here's chapter two.
Now I know Yusei might be, a little OC in this, but please understand, I had give him a tweak in personaltiy for this chapter.
You got an issue with that? Call my Lawyer and I'll see you in court.
Disclamer: I own NOTHING!
Laura woke up in a room that was not her apartment. It was much nicer than hers, that she was sure of. The walls were white while the carpet was navey bule. The bed was queen size and had sheets that were black with a bule comferter. There was a desk with a few pictures and a tall book case. The only sorce of light was from moon that shined in through the window.
Laura sat up slowly to look around. She quickly wrapped her arms around her body, feeling the cold air in the room as she pushed the blankets off of her. A second later, the lights were flipped on and Laura turned to see the young man from before. He was wearing the same clothes as before, but had taken his jacket off. Showing off his muscular yet slim arms.
Laura put her right hand to her head as she remembered what happened. The young man in front of her was a vampire, who sucked the blood from the drunk who tried to rape her. She recalled the man telling her his name was Yusei. Laura couldn't believe that she was in the same room with a vampire. Let alone that this vampire saved her instead of sucking her blood.
Yusei smiled, making Laura blush as he sat down next to her on the bed.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Yusei asked.
"Um...okay I guess. Where I am?" Laura asked.
"My place. I was going to take you to your apartment, but I figured you didn't want to be alone after what happened. Plus you needed medical attention and wanted to make sure you were alright. I'm sorry." Yusei explained.
"No, it's okay. Your right, I would hate to be alone after that. Thank you, but why did you save me? You don't know me. Plus your a vampire, aren't just gonna suck my-" Laura started, getting cut off by Yusei.
"I know more about you than you think, Laura." Yusei answered, smirking with his eyes closed.
"How...do you-"
"I know that you love art and drawing. I know that you hate being alone. And I know that you sing to yourself when you can't sleep at night." Yusei said.
"But how? How do you know so much and why?" Laura asked.
"I've been searching for you for ten years now. Once I found you, I started following you, and learning about you. I knew your the were the one,when I first heard your name." Yusei said.
"The one? What do you do mean?! You think just because you saved me that I'll go to bed with you?! What exactly are you after?!" Laura asked.
Compelelty surprized when Yusei began to laugh. A confussed look on her face.
"Sorry...it's just, I knew you would say that." Yusei said.
"Really?"
"I've been watching you for so long, I just know how your gonna react sometimes. Listen, I know you think I'm a stalker, but I'm not. And your right, I am a vampire, but I would never hurt you." Yusei said.
"But why have you been looking for me?" Laura asked.
"Because your the one whose ment for me...to be my mate." Yusei explained, finishing that last part with a slight blush.
"What...?!" Laura asked in shock.
"You know the story, right? When a vampire is born, part of our energy becomes mixed with some engery from our future mate. It then becomes apart of us our whole lives. That energy reacts in our heart, when the person we're meant to be with is near. Being a human or vampire doesn't matter. What does is that we find the one ment to save our heart from the darkness of being alone." Yusei said.
"I know the story, of course! My grandmother told me that story all the time! But, your saying that I..."Laura started with a blush as Yusei finished explaining.
"Yes, your the one who I'm meant to be with..." Yusei said as he wrapped Laura in a warm embrace.
Laura blushed as Yusei held her. She couldn't believe that she could be the mate of a vampire. A fearsome creature whose was the ruler of the night, destroyer of anyone in their path. Whose only wish, was to find their eternal soul mate. A moment later Yusei broke the embrace and turned away.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so forward. I know it's alot to take in at once." Yusei said.
"No, your fine. But, I think you have me mistaken with someone else. Someone plain and hot tempered like me, could never-"
"Your wrong, you shouldn't compare yourself to your friends, or the women who look down on you at your job. Your ten times the person they will ever be, because you have a better heart." Yusei said.
Making Laura smile from the comment. Yusei then cupped Laura's face tenderly, smiling a true smile as he gazed at her with eyes full of adoration.
"Don't be so harsh on yourself. And don't critisize your talent either. It's beautiful, just like you are..." Yusei said.
Which made Laura blush, but smile as she nodded as a thank you. After a moment, Laura realised that she wanted to get to know more about Yusei. To be closer to him, so they would both know each other.
"Well, since you know so much about me, what can you tell me about you?" Laura asked.
"What do you want to know?" Yusei asked in return with a small smile.
"Anything."
Before they knew it, Yusei and Laura ended up for over three hours about each other. Yusei was funny, loyal, incredibly smart and cared very much for those close to him. He was also very kind hearted, and willing to help a friend in need. Laura enjoyed being with Yusei very much. He was very understanding and warm. The kind of person that she always wanted to have a relatationship with.
Yet, part of him seemed uneasy, like he was carrying the world on his shoulders. It made Laura want to help him in some way. She had to admit, she was growning attacted to Yusei rather quickly. After talking for a while, Yusei became quite and looked down. It was almost like he seemed lost in a dream like state. Like he wanted the moment to last forever.
"Yusei? What's wrong?" Laura asked.
"Laura, Do you like being with me?"
The question was rather sudden, but Laura smiled and answered.
"Yes I do. Very much, I was surprized at first of course. But after talking with you, I feel like I've known you longer than just tonight."
"I'm glad. I feel the same way. I don't feel so lonely when I'm around you." Yusei said.
"Your lonely? Have you been by yourself alot?" Laura asked.
"Yeah, most of my friends are in different parts of the world. Searching for their own mates. I've been searching by myself for over ten years." Yusei answered.
Hearing that hit home for Laura hard. Ever since she moved to the city half a year ago, Laura had a hard time making friends and she too felt really alone. Laura thought that it must have been hard for Yusei. To alone, looking for someone. Plus when you finally fine that person, you have no idea how to talk to them. Laura could truly understand Yusei's loneliness cause of that.
"That's why I didn't want to have a relatationship with you just based on the fact that you were my mate. I wanted to get to know you as a person,a friend. And to understand you. And before I knew it, I learned to love everything about you." Yusei explained
"Then why didn't you just apperouch me before?" Laura asked.
"Because I was nervous. I was afraid that you would reject me. So I decided that I would have been happy just staying near you and knowing you were safe. Watching you quitely from afar, I would have been fine if that was only way I could love you." Yusei confessed.
Laura felt moved by Yusei's devotion. She wrapped her arms around Yusei's neck, wanting to comfert him and except his love. Yet it was still so new to her, she wasn't she how to. However Laura could just by the way Yusei spoke that he wasn't lying. The akward yet gentle way he returned her embrace, told her that he truly loved her. It was also easy to see that Laura was Yusei's first love.
No wonder he didn't apperouch her before. He didn't know how to. Yusei smiled as he held Laura. The vampire felt like he was in a dream. Finally get to hold the one he watched and protected for so long. It was a dream he never wanted to wake up from. Even if it was a dream, Yusei was willing to sleep forever if it was the only place he could be with Laura. He truly loved that much.
"Could we, stay like this? Your body is so warm, it feels good." Yusei asked.
"Sure, I don't mind. Yusei? Are you always so cold?" Laura asked.
Noticing that Yusei's body felt like ice. Like he had been outside in the cold winter wind for hours on end.
"Mostly, yes. Vampires are the undead. We don't have heart beats, so even though we suck blood, it doesn't flow through our bodies. Does it bother you?" Yusei asked as he tenderly stroked her hair.
"No, it just seems sad. Hold me closer, I'll help keep you warm." Laura answered.
Making Yusei smile happly as he pulled Laura closer to him. Yusei pulled away after a moment and gazed into Laura's eyes. Laura blushed as Yusei came within inches of her face. Smiling with warmth in his eyes as his right hand ceressed her face, whispering softly.
"Can I kiss you?" Yusei asked.
Laura nodded and allowed Yusei to snake an arm around waist. Yusei kissed her tenderly and Laura returned it with no hesitation. It was the first time she had ever kissed a man, but it felt so right. After a few minutes which felt like forever, the two broke apart. Laura was still in a slight gaze as Yusei cupped her cheeck to gaze into her eyes.
"Thank you. I'm glad I could be with you. Even if only short time. I should take back to your apartment now. Are you feeling alright?" Yusei asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm okay. Is there something wrong? Do you not want me around anymore?" Laura asked sadly.
Yusei smiled and answered her with warmth in his voice.
"No, I would love it if I could spend more time with you. It's just, the sun is gonna come up soon, and I need to get some sleep."
"Oh, okay. Sorry for keeping you up." Laura said as she stood up from the bed.
"Don't be. I would love it if I could see you again." Yusei said while taking Laura's hand in his.
"Well, maybe I'll see you tomorrow. I mean, today. Once you've had some sleep."
"Heh, yeah. I'd like that." Yusei said.
Suddenly the grandfather clock on the wall in the hallway struck 5: AM.
"I better get you back. You afraid of hights?" Yusei asked as he opened the balcony door.
"No." Laura answered.
"Good, were gonna have to fly in order for me to get you back before the sun comes up. You don't mind, do you?" Yusei asked as the two stepped onto the balcony.
"No, but is it safe?"
Yusei held out his hand to Laura and gave her a look of determation and promise. His deep bule eyes, shined in the disappering moonlight as he gazed at her in the cool morning wind. His voice was strong and trusting as he spoke.
"I would never drop you. I swear."
"Okay then." Laura said as she took Yusei's hand.
Yusei then lifted her into his arms and held bridle stlye like before. Yusei then lifted his head high and took a deep breath as his wings sretched. After which, Yusei off the balcony and flew through the air. Laura hid her face in Yusei's chest. Clenching her eyes shut, scared to look down. Yusei looked at her and smiled. It made him happy that Laura clung to him for comfert.
"It's okay, Laura. Open your eyes. You'll love this." Yusei said.
Laura slowly opened her eyes and they widened at the scene before her. The sky was a beautiful purple, pink, dark bule and light bule color. The veiw of the city from above was amazing as the moon still hung in a corner of the sky. The way the sun light began to creep in on the horizen felt like magic. The whole scene made something spark inside of Laura. Like a sence of freedom she never felt before.
"Yusei, it's gorgus! I can't believe how lovely this is."
"I knew you would like it. " Yusei said as he dipped downwards.
All too soon, Yusei landed on the balcony of Laura's room at her apartment. Relucnetly, Laura let go of Yusei as he set her down on the floor.
"Try to get some sleep before your next job, alright?" Yusei said.
"Yes, I will. Thank you, Yusei."
"I know I threw alot at you at once. I'm sorry about that. Know that even though your the one chosen for me, you can refuse. You can forget about me and go on with the life you have now. I'd understand. Not everyone is able to except a vampire as their lover." Yusei said sadly.
"You mean, someone rejected a vampire before?" Laura asked.
Yusei didn't answer. He turned his back to Laura and lowered his gazed to the ground. Laura felt sad as Yusei stayed quite. She tried to place a hand on his shoulder, but Yusei jumped up onto the balcony railing. Almost as if Laura was about to touch a wound that Yusei was still healing from. His voice sounded lonely and quite as he spoke.
"Not everyone believes that a vampire can have love towards another person. Especially if that person is human."
Laura felt a pang in her heart at Yusei's words. He spoke as if he was betrayed by someone who he loved. Someone who was pericous to him at one time. Yusei was quite again before turning his head slightly to gaze at Laura's face once more.
"It's your choice if you want to be with me. I'll give you some time to think about it." Yusei said, jumping off the railing a second later.
Laura ran to the railing and looked down before looking up to see Yusei fly off into the early morning sky. Laura felt a blush on her face as Yusei turned back and smiled at her. Waving goodbye before turning forward again. With that, Yusei disappered from site, a moment before the sun rose. It's great light covering everything it touch as it shined brightly.
Laura walked into her apartment through the sliding glass door with a tried and cofussed mind. Changing out of her clothes, she felt a sence of lonliess as she crawled into bed and closed her eyes.
Seeing Yusei's face her thoughts as she dirfted off to sleep.
