It had been a few days since Yui had first made love with Ayato and Kanato, and each brother had been doing his best to impress and seduce her since then. More than once, Ayato had snuck up on her in an empty hallway at school or in the mansion and pressed her up against a wall, running his hands, lips and tongue over whatever exposed skin he could find. Somehow, one of his brothers would always manage to show up before he could get any further, stealing Yui away or hovering around Ayato until he ruined the mood.
She noticed Kanato spending a lot more time around her as well. More and more frequently she would find him sitting on her bed, without his bear, watching her as she moved about her room. Sometimes he spoke to her, and other times he sat, looking for all the world like a doll she had left unattended. Whenever she let her guard down he would sneak a kiss or run his hand up her leg, but his brothers seemed to know when to burst in on them as well.
Her personal privacy had been reduced to nothing, but Yui had been dealing with that for months anyway. If that was the only downside to being courted by a whole household of vampires, she could live with it. For the most part, she had been treated incredibly well since the Awakening. Each brother had his own way of showing his growing affection for Yui, and she felt like she was learning a lot about them as individuals.
The brothers had really taken their courting to the next level the day after she and Kanato had had their...tea party. Laito had brought her breakfast in bed the next morning, telling his brother that he'd only made enough for himself and Yui.
"There's plenty of food in the kitchen," Laito teased. "I'm sure you can find something delicious in there. Meanwhile, I'll feed my Little Bitch. Don't worry," he turned to Yui, "I'll take good care of you." The redhead moved in for a kiss, his lips barely brushing Yui's before Kanato "accidentally" bumped him getting out of bed, causing Laito to lurch sideways off the bed.
"Sorry, little brother," Kanato said. "I was just getting up anyway. There's too much sunlight in this room for me." Still, Kanato ran a hand gently along Yui's back before disappearing. The blonde caught a glimpse of that same frightening look from the car ride home yesterday as the purple-haired vampire blinked out of sight.
It was shortly after Kanato left that Yui realized she was still completely naked, with only a blanket separating her from Laito. It was surprisingly easy to get him to leave so she could get dressed, but she did finish her breakfast with him once she was decent. It was at that time that Yui had realized how funny Laito could be. He had spent their entire meal making Yui laugh, as if he wanted nothing more in the world than to see her smile. Laito spent the next few days in the same routine, suddenly filling the role of the funny, charming...boyfriend? She laughed to herself, toying with the idea of referring to any of the vampires as a boyfriend, especially with them referring to themselves as mates. Husbands? She wasn't sure at all what was happening to her world. But she wasn't unhappy. In fact, Yui realized she had been happier in the last few days than she had in a very long time. She finally felt accepted into this strange new world.
Subaru's behavior had changed as well. His normally reclusive, angry facade would sometimes drop away to reveal a much more gentle person. Sometimes he would find Yui alone and just spend time around her. Mostly, if he did speak he asked her questions about herself. He seemed to want to know everything: what kind of foods did she like, what type of music did she listen to, what were her favorite colors. At one point he asked Yui if she still had his knife, and seemed genuinely touched when she told him she kept it in her bedside drawer.
"It was a gift from you, Subaru," she told him. "Of course I'll keep it forever." Subaru's lips were soft as they met hers. One hand came up to the side of Yui's face, holding her gently as he continued to kiss her. Yui's heart began to flutter; out of all the brothers, the youngest Sakamaki had the softest touch. He sent butterflies racing through her stomach as his hand moved up her leg, squeezing her thigh gently. Before he could get any further, the sound of Reiji's throat clearing rang out in the room.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important," he said, obviously relishing his interruption of his brother, "but it is time to eat." The look he flashed Yui sent chills down her spine. His words were clear and precise, as always, but his expression told her he'd rather enjoy an alternative menu for the evening meal. Even stoic Reiji appeared keen to participate in pursuing Yui.
She had to admit, she didn't dislike the notion of it. If nothing else these vampires made Yui feel incredibly special. And she knew it was only a matter of time until she ended up alone with another of the Sakamaki brothers, without any interruptions.
Well then, she thought. Let the games begin. If they could have fun with courting her, so could she.
A/N: Things will start to move forward from here! I'm having a lot of fun playing with Yui and the Sakamakis but I'm also trying to keep within their characters as much as possible. Let me know if there's anything you think needs to be put in here or taken away. Or let me know if you just enjoy the story!
