It has been a week ever since the two had agreed on making a new friendship. A week since the biting became less painful. A week since Kou has been sleeping in Lucy's bed. She sat up and looked to her left. She saw Kou. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. Lucy felt him pull her closer. She blushed as the two were so close that their lips almost touched. Kou woke up and looked at her. He moved his lips even closer so close to kissing her but stopped as he realized what he had almost done. He moved his lips away from Lucy's gentle ones and stared into her eyes. The two still couldn't help but blush. Kou looked at her neck and moved her hair out the way and sunk his teeth into her skin. Lucy felt better than how she used to. He seemed more gentle. Lucy felt him stop and back up. Lucy sat up and held on to her neck.
"Itai" She then let go after feeling the pain. Kou got out of Lucy's bed and went out the room. Lucy sat up.
Kou our new friendship has changed you. I am happy to not suffer as bad but you seem a little different. Are you really my friend? Are you manipulating my mind. You want me to believe this right? Should I? Should I not? I am sorry if doing this hurts you? Since you can't be you, I think being your friend I shouldn't let you suffer. Lucy got out of bed and went into the shower. Kou came in Lucy's room to see her fully dressed and reading her book. Kou went next to her.
"What are you reading?"
"Nothing important." Kou read the back.
"It seems cool."
"Well you can read it with or after me."

"Sure" Kou began to ready with Lucy. After about ten minutes he fell asleep on her lap as she continued to read. Lucy giggled and sat the book down. She began to stroke kou's hair.
"Kou" He woke up.
"Yeah" He mumbled
"Can you answer me a question?"
"Sure but you know you just asked me one." He chuckled sleepily.
"Yeah" Lucy giggled
"I mean to ask you, why are you holding back on me?" Kou's eyes opened.
"You're not on drugs are you?" He began to look into her eyes.
"No" Lucy said with a giggle.
"Well to answer your question, I will need a kiss." Lucy blushed hard.
"Really?"
"Yup"
"I guess I don't need an answer." He kissed her. The two backed away slowly. Lucy had an enormous blush.
"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me."
"Kou"
"I'm sorry"
"Kou it's okay let's just pretend this didn't happen." Kou nodded not knowing why his heart felt like it broke.
"The answer to your question is that I don't want to hurt you." Lucy looked at him.
"I care for you." Lucy smiled and hugged him.
"You don't have to go easy on me if you are going to suffer from doing it."
"I know but I don't want to be the reason why you're in deep pain. I trust you as my friend so you know I care about you." Lucy blushed even harder and looked at him.
"I care about you too." She said with a blush. Lucy looked at him in the eyes.
"So don't hold back anymore if you are going to suffer."
"I won't"
"Why"
"For months you couldn't even breath right because of me."
"No, because I was scared of you."
"You see what I mean?"
"No Kou I just"
"What"
"I not as scared as before."
"See your still scared."
"I mean"
"You what!"
"I just!"
"What!"
"I like you okay!" She gasped and covered her mouth.
