Chapter Three

(Kyo's POV)

Before I realized it, I was slowly moving my face closer to his… agonizingly slow-

My warm nose brushed against his cooler one, the temperature difference very slight, and yet severely significant- it sent sparks through my body, the pounding of my pulse would have completely filled my head if Yuki's breathing hadn't already taken care of that.

I tilted my face slightly to the left and moved in a fraction of a centimetre closer- my hands were shaking, trembling out of anticipation, and Yuki was quivering underneath me.

But my lips didn't tremble, and my neck stayed sturdy for me as I came dangerously close…

I could feel the shiver in Yuki's breath- it tasted warm, soft even, not sweet, but delicious. I would've licked my lips it were possible to do without licking his at the same time…

I want to lick his lips…

I wasn't going to kiss him, I swear- I just wanted to taste him… it's not a kiss, it's just a taste…

I want to taste him…

I moved a breath closer…

It's just a taste… just one taste wont hurt…

One more closer…

It's not a kiss…

I was so close that if I twitched just a little, I would be brushing my lips against his.

Just one taste…

That's all I want,

One taste…

I had him pinned, trapped, he was defenceless and vulnerable…

Wait- what? Defenceless and Vulnerable?

I pulled my face back enough to look at the boy's expression underneath me.

His gorgeous violet eyes were half-lidded if even, his cheeks flushed, and his lips parted-

HOLY FUCK, WHAT AM I DOING?!

His eyelids slowly dragged more open- his eyes starting to gaze into mine…

GET THE FUCK OUTA HERE!!

I pushed myself off of him with rapid speed and hurtled myself in the opposite direction, quickly diving into the protection of the forest trees.

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, the need to get away being the source of my newfound strength as I pushed myself as far as I could.

I didn't stop, I didn't even slow down until my inability to breath properly finally overcame me and I collapsed to the ground, shaking and heaving for breath.

"What… what the… hell…" I managed through gasps of breath, my eyes wide with shock.

What the HELL??

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??

I licked my lips…

Dammit, what did I almost do?

He was right there- RIGHT THERE!

I COULD'VE PULVERISHED HIM!

And instead i…

I…

I didn't realise I had my hand against my mouth, the fingertips touching my lips- I clenched my hand into a fist and hit a nearby tree with all the anger I felt inside of me-

"GOD DAMMIT!!"

I heard the tree make a creaking noise against the impact. I bit my lower lip, I gnashed my teeth into it until the salty copper taste of my blood seeped into my mouth, consuming the fading taste of Yuki's breath with the intense and fresh flavour. It was completely opposite of his taste- it was harsh and bitter, but same in the sense that it was over-powering…

…What the hell did I almost do?

I searched for a reason, but all I could come up with was that feeling, that need…

Okay, okay, don't get carried away…

I had to forget that feeling, it's the least of my worries, and definitely not a good reason—

I forced myself on him…

What the hell is wrong with me??

I would normally have no problem at all with having my way with him, but it was never in… that kind of way…

Oh yeah? And what kind of way IS that?

… Oh my god…

(Yuki's POV)

Kyo pulled away from me abruptly- the warmth of his breath on my face with him.

I was about to catch his gaze, to see what was wrong, when he was out of my sight before I even registered that he wasn't on top of me anymore.

And just as suddenly as he disappeared, I was cold in contrast to the heat of his body. Still in shock, I laid there on the rough ground trying to register what the hell just happened…

And when it did, I gasped and sat up sharply- my body went into shock, but the complete opposite kind of shock that Kyo had ignited inside me: my heart beat abruptly stopped, my blood ran cold, and I tensed- I went completely rigid.

Wait… wait, no, that didn't happened…

I tried to convince myself that I had knocked my head on something at some point of my encounter with Kyo, and it all was just a stupid ridiculous delusion…

But it all felt so real… there was no way anyone could convince me that it wasn't real… I have never felt anything so authentic in my life…

I stared at my hands, then at my fingers. There was the proof. Underneath a few of my nails was fresh blood from where I had dug them into the flesh on Kyo's wrist…

But… why would he do that?

I lifted my fingers closer to my face to inspect his blood

Whoa, Whoa, first off, how did he get ME on my back?

I brought my nails to my lips

We were fighting… I got him on his stomach… I whispered in his ear…

I snuck my tongue out of my mouth

He twisted around to look at me…

I ran my tongue against the blood on my nails

He did it again… that thing he did with his eyes last time…

I tasted his salty blood inside my mouth

I tried to leave- I had to, he was too close…his eyes were too intense…

I rolled the taste over my tongue

I was naked…

I swallowed, his blood slid down my throat

He pinned me down… I didn't expect him too…

He was so close… I could taste him… I wanted to taste him…

I wanted to run, but I couldn't move… his eyes paralysed me…

I looked down at my wrists… there weren't any bruises, any marks of any kind of force… not like what his wrists must look like.

His warmth…

My hands began to shake- my heartbeat quickened.

His eyes…

I was naked…
