So this Story is almost done, sorry about the shortness but there isn't much I can really do with this... well, that's not entirely true, but I don't really want this to be too lengthy.

Enjoy


Bleary grey eyes opened to the soft dark night, the pale lips relinquishing a soft groan, his hands reaching to hold his head as dizziness washed over him, gentle hands touched his own, a concerned voice soft as it murmured him to lie still, Allen managing to focus on the sight of Kanda leaning over him, his face worrisome and his eyes caring, the younger smiling for a moment as his head rolled into the hand, memories of their previous encounter lost to him for a few moments more. Kanda watched as the silver eyes flung wide as the lithe form suddenly scuttled away from his touch, his body quivering as fear rolled off him in waves, his mouth trying to form words when his throat would not allow it.

Wordlessly, the vampire pulled himself up off the chair he had settled beside the large bed, his cobalt eyes turning from his once lover and silently shut the door behind him, Allen watching with frightful eyes until he was cast once more into darkness, his body relaxing slightly but still kept his guard up, his knees to his chest and his blankets clutched tightly in his fists. A hand went instinctively to his neck, the wound Kanda had left him was gone, his eyes widening further at the absence of scabbing or scarring.

Deep breaths calmed the younger as he mulled over the evening; his lover, someone who showered him in gifts, attention, and dare he say love had attacked him, sinking his fangs into his neck so hard it caused him to bleed profusely enough to pass out, right into the warmth of the vampire's arms and comfort of what he knew. His knees pressed to his chest while his arms wrapped around them, his heart tearing in two, one half of him fearing the monster, the creature that had him on forced to the ground with ease and could rip him in half without so much as a second thought, the other half of him still in love with the vampire, knowing that he had never felt more whole in his entire life than when he was curled in Kanda's arms.

Tears slipped down his pale cheeks as conflict stirred within him. The vampire had left him alive and alone, his wound was tended to and cared for, his body warm under the covers while his lover watched over him. His head hit the pillow as his heart quivered; he still wanted Kanda, more than anything, but after what happened…

His breath was shuddering as he pulled himself from the covers, the blankets all but thrown onto the bed as he bravely opened the door and slipped outside, his eyes catching sight of a supposedly sleeping Kanda, the cobalt eyes closed and his hands over his chest, Allen swallowed thickly as he bravely approached the vampire.

"Kanda," Allen told him, fear hidden in his voice as he took in deep breaths, "I know you're awake."

Cobalt eyes opened slowly to look into silver, the two staring at each other for the longest time, Kanda masking pain while Allen fear. The younger sucked in a deep breath as he slowly moved to his once lover, his body lying over the longer, his head on the muscled chest as Kanda seemed to freeze, Allen's hand next to his face as he listened.

"You have a heartbeat," the younger murmured softly, "you're warm, you can walk in the sun… so how can you be a vampire?"

"I'm not like any of the stories," Kanda told him, "I can do anything a human can and more. I'm stronger, live infinitely longer, faster… mostly."

"What about the stake to the heart thing?"

"That kills just about everything," the vampire teased lightly, Allen giggling for the briefest of seconds.

"So… are you immortal?"

"No," Kanda confessed, "longevity, regeneration and youth, but not immortality."

"How did you… get like this?" Allen dared to ask after a moment of silence, the long fingers trailed up and down the grove of his spine, careful to keep the younger comfortable, his breath hitching for a moment.

"I wasn't… bitten or anything like that," Kanda told him, "I worked for this Alchemist on the side, made good money. There was this… accident in the lab… next thing I knew, I woke up in a coffin, dug myself out and never looked back."

"So… how old are you?"

"I was born in Edo in the mid-17th century," the Japanese recited as though reading a novel, his cobalt eyes noticing the curious silver ones edging him on, "it guess it was about... 1653."

"You guess?"

"Birth records weren't very accurate back then," Kanda shrugged, "but it was what was written on my headstone."

"Is it… still there?"

"Probably… but most likely not, they must've plowed it over by now to make a mall or something."

"So… wait," Allen sat up to look to his lover's eyes, "you're about three hundred and sixty years old?"

"Give or take about five years," the vampire confessed, the younger looking completely stunned at the news, his silver eyes flicking around for an out.

"D-Do you have like a favorite year or era or something?" Allen asked, trying to keep the conversation light while satisfying his curiosity.

"I do actually," Kanda smiled softly, his fingers playing with the downy strands, "this year and last."

"Wh-Why?"

"Because that's when I was with you," the Japanese told him truthfully, the younger flushing deeply at the compliment. "Look," Kanda told him, his body adjusting to pull away from the younger, sadness in his voice, "I can call you a cab that'll take you anywhere you want to go and-"

"Y-You want me to leave?" Allen asked, his eyes wide as the vampire strode from him, the pain in his chest greater than he imagined.

"After what I did why would you want to stay?" Kanda challenged back, his eyes refusing to turn to look at the younger as he leaned over the island, wondering just how he was to let Allen go. The boy shuffled on the couch for a moment before arms slid around the vampire's waist.

"What are you-"

"Are you still the same?" the younger asked, tears blooming in silver eyes as his body shook slightly, "are you still the same Kanda?"

"Moyashi," Kanda asked as he turned to Allen, still with the arms around him, "what-"

"Are you still my Yuu?"

Cobalt eyes went wide as he looked down at the head buried into his chest, the younger's tears slipping down his pale cheeks, his eyes turning to look up at his lover.

"Are you still the Yuu that fell in love with me?"

"O-Of course-"

"Even now, that I know you're a vampire, are you still the same?"

"Of course I am-"

"Then I don't care what you are," Allen whispered as he raised his lips to meet Kanda's, his hand to the muscled chest, "so long as you're still the same here."

"Moyashi…"

Soft lips met Kanda's tenderly, the silver eyes shut lightly and his hands on the other's chest, the Japanese willingly giving into temptation as he pressed back, his arms slipping to hold his lithe lover.

"Even after all that I've done," Kanda whispered between kisses, "after the wound, you still want to be with me?"

"I told you," Allen murmured as his hands held his lover's face, "you're still the same Kanda, the same one I fell in love with. You've never attacked me in the six months I knew you and even then, you tried to protect me."

"From myself-"

"Doesn't matter," the younger told him softly, "I still love the Kanda Yuu that you are."

The vampire felt his heart flutter at the innocence in Allen's words, his lips ravishing the younger's with relish, his arms holding him close to his body, excitement surging through his body before a thought struck him.

"Moyashi," Kanda breathed as he pulled away from Allen, "think about this rationally-"

"Love isn't rational-"

"Neither is doing this with a vampire!"

"Do you want me gone?"

The question caught him off guard, the cobalt eyes widening as the determined silver eyes narrowed up at him, the younger's jaw set.

"No," the Japanese confessed, "I'll want you with me, for an eternity."

"But I'll only live for another 70 years-"

"Not with… me," Kanda murmured, his words chosen with extreme care, "I've found that… should I continually… drink a person's blood for an extended period of time, my youth and longevity is given to them."

"But, why do you need blood?"

"I don't know," the Japanese answered truthfully, "I've just found that, without it, I will die, but not before my appearance changes… into what you saw."

"So… you're saying that I'm… like you now?"

"Not permanently," the vampire corrected, "and not all my abilities, but you'll live ten times longer than any human."

"If you… suddenly stop, would I age overnight?"

"No, the change will be gradual, like normal aging."

"You sound like you've done this before."

The bitterness in Allen's voice did not go unnoticed, a small smirk playing on his lover's lips.

"Not to this degree," Kanda told him softly, "but a month or two and then I got… bored," his face grimaced at how terrible that made him sound, "but I've never loved someone like this."

Lips met his for the second time since the attack, Allen willingly kissing him even after knowing his nature, something Kanda never imagined to have. Their bodies moving in unison towards the bed room, Kanda carful with Allen's body as he towered above it, their eyes filled with lust and wanting; Allen's clothes were all but ripped from his body in Kanda's eagerness, the young man enjoying every second of attention as he kissed and bit back, their lips meeting in passion and their bodies moving in harmony with each other.

Allen moaned unhindered as he felt his lover's hands move over and around his body, teasing his nipples and sliding down his hips and sides, his lips and tongue teasing and pleasing his lithe lover. Hands clutched at the sheets while his feet pushed against the mattress as his lover's chest slid against his back while he moved inside of him, Allen crying out in bliss when he came, his lips meeting Kanda's one last time in the night as the vampire came after him, Kanda's arms holding him tightly before they both sank into the mattress spent, Kanda pulling out of Allen while his lips whispered something to the lithe boy's ear, the younger too tired to listen, the only sound in his ear the beating of his lover's heart.


A soft groan emitted from Allen's lips as he stirred, his slight ache reminding him that what transpired that night was in fact, real.

Silver eyes glanced up to Kanda's sleeping face, his own slipping into a smile while his ear listened to the languid breaths and beating heart, his body relaxing at the thought that, though Kanda was some immortal creature that required blood, Kanda still loved him just as Allen loved the vampire.

Allen smiled softly to himself as he slipped into the kitchen, his heart full at how beautifully his life was turning out, a soft chuckle as he wondered why he had ever doubted his lover. True, the bite was vicious and it hurt, but the Japanese vampire kept himself from killing Allen, pushing him away from his terrible form, protecting him from the advancing men, sealing his wound, and continually showering him with love. A small giggle slipped from the pale lips; he wondered why he ran away, it wasn't as though he had many places to go, Lavi would be furious-

A hand clasped to his forehead as he sunk to his knees, the clatter of something hit the floor reached his ears, the object retaining its shape while Allen steadied himself, the images flashing through his mind of friends long since forgotten and memories of his previous life, everything from Mana holding his hand to the accident and Kanda hovering over him, an unseemly gleam in his eye as he attacked Allen.

"Aren!"

The silver eyes remained wide as his breaths tried to steady his shaking limbs, a hand on his back snapping him beck to action, his body all but leaping away from the touch, his back slamming against the cupboard doors, his eyes wide in fear while Kanda's held confusion.

"Moyashi, what-"

"You attacked me," the younger half-whispered, his hand on the counter as he pulled himself up off the tiled floor to stand as Kanda's equal.

"But… you said-"

"Not last night," Allen clarified, "the first time… on Halloween night."

Cobalt eyes grew dramatically wide as an understanding settled in, his heart freezing as realization dawned on him.

Allen remembered.


OOh ^^
