I'm becoming amused with this story, hee hee...

"Say it."
"Vampire..."
"Are you scared?" he asked her.
"No."
Hiro by this point was already bored. The movie had already become more romancy than he'd expected. He hoped that the introduction to the idea of vampires would liven things up now.
Shuichi on the other hand...well, he was cross-legged on the couch, completely lost in lala land as he watched the movie munching on popcorn. This meant the at the very least, that the movie hadn't been a total loss, as Shuichi was at least loving it. They'd been sitting through the movie in silence, as Shuichi hadn't listened to a word Hiro was saying, and he'd given up. Now, watching the pink haired singer seemed more appealing then the movie itself. Every so often Shuichi's eyes would bulge, or he'd gasp. And then there were the disappointed groans with each kissy scene, as the kissing was even stopped short.
In particular, there were a few time Shuichi let out large gasps, as if he really couldn't believe something, and Hiro shrugged them off. Shuichi had always gotten far too into movies and books...
He let out a large sigh, remembering when Harry Potter had first come out. He would never forget the many weeks after that were spent with Shuichi, who was clearly convinced he was a wizard... he'd even dragged his little sister into that one.
Hiro was sure that by the end of the movie, Shuichi's eyes could bulge no more, and his heart could beat no faster. When the credits pulled on screen, and he had turned the TV off, Shuichi had whispered his name.
Hiro had groaned...afraid that Shuichi was suddenly scared of vampires, even though there had only been a few baddies in the movie.
"What is it Shuichi, you're not really afraid are you?" He asked jokingly.
Much to Hiro's pleasure, he shook his head frantically.
"That's good, you had me worried there..." he chuckled.
"Hiro..." Shuichi started once more, dread creeping up on Hiro as he did so. " Hiro...Yuki's a vampire!" He shouted, jumping up off of the couch, flinging the remnants of the obscene amount of popcorn across the room.
Hiro only managed to collapse onto the couch once more before busting out into extreme laughter.
"Hiro! It's not funny! I'm being serious!" he groaned, grabbing Hiro's shoulders and shaking the man.
Hiro clutched his stomach as he laughed.
"Shuichi, you've got to be kidding me..." He snickered, as Shuichi's face turned to a pout.
"Hiro! It makes PERFECT sense!" Shuichi was convinced, and Hiro was sure that he'd have to stop this quickly, less thing get worse.
"Shuichi...it was a MOVIE. There are no vampires-" Shuichi opened his mouth to complain, only to be silenced by Hiro's hand. " A movie... Yuki is NOT a vampire, nor is anyone else. Honestly...can't we get through one movie without you claiming everything in it is real?"
Shuichi groaned.
"I'm telling you Hiro, he's a vampire! Look at him! He's GORGEOUS! No one can look that good with it being natural! I mean, look at Ryuichi! I always said he was a god! And then Noriko...there's no way she's really as old as she 'supposedly' is, and...and ... Seguchi! He's like a vampire mob boss! Notice how Taki Aizawa was never seen again! Tohma must have made Yuki a vampire sometime after the New York incident...oh! It's all making sense now!" he gasped.
Hiro began to sputter...
"Wait... now you're saying that the entirety of Nittle Grasper are also vampires? Shu... you've lost it..." he groaned.
This could be bad...really bad...
"Forget the members of Nittle Grasper! We're talking about Yuki! YUKI!" He pounded his fist on the table. " Yuki's a vampire... His super light skin, despite being Japanese... his totally perfect hair...his rich, golden eyes, his perfectly chiseled face...and...and.. He dazzles ME! See! Just talking about him makes me swoon! All the signs are there! And his random disappearances... Oh... I bet he's really been out hunting...and his coldness towards me... oh, I must make him soooo thirsty...I've been so cruel, throwing myself on him, he's only been in pain!" He grimaced, sinking to the floor.
Hiro wasn't sure if he should be very afraid, disturbed, laugh, or faint...Shuichi had clearly lost it, and nothing he could say or do could end this madness...
"Shuichi...I'm sure Mr. Yuki is perfectly fine...this doesn't make any sense..." he laughed nervously, Shuichi glaring at him. "I mean... Just look at this movie Shu... Yuki-san eats food...he drinks beer...he smokes... and I've never once heard you complain about his body temperature when you precede to tell me about the previous night's kinky activities!" He blushed.
He FINALLY though he'd cured Shuichi of his stupid theory..but he was wrong...
"Well Hiro...that's quite simple..." Shuichi smiled. "Yuki can smoke. Vampires can breath, they just don't have to. He's never coughed has he? You occasionally cough. He never does, and he smokes more than you! Plus, the eating...the drinking...heck, even the body temperature..it's all Yuki's 'special' ability! He can appear more human and blend in with the world! Just like Edward, who can read minds...and Alice can see the future! I wonder if he still sparkles..." he trailed off and frowned.
Suddenly, before Hiro could even TRY and reason with Shuichi, the pink haired pop star gasped and jumped up.
"SEE! Hiro! I told you! Ryuichi! He's always going on about sparkles! He was hinting at this the entire time!" Shuichi began to pace the room, still shouting about his assumptions.
Hiro only hung his head in his lap.
It was going to be a looooong night...
