As I ran, I found myself slightly angry. Why would he choose a human, of all creatures, to be his lover? As a pureblood it was his responsibility to make another-

I stopped myself there. Why was I so worried about what he was doing? I then realized the possibility of it being because he was my brother. And unfortunately he wasn't to know of my existence. So there was really no reason to concern myself with whatever he wanted to do. I slowed down to a walk.

Once I got back to my room I found a shirtless Cross waiting for me.

"Kaien," I muttered when I saw the cut on his chest.

"Meyome, it's time for you to eat." He said holding up a cup filled a quarter of the way with a red liquid. I recognized it's scent right away. It was his blood.

"Kaien, no!" I started to back up but Cross caught my wrist and pulled me in. he took a swig of the blood and held it in his mouth. He then after setting down the cup, put his newly free hand on my lower back and held me close. I didn't even think to fight, even as he closed in and filled my mouth with his blood. I was so zoned out that I only swallowed after realizing that some had spilled from the corner of my mouth and was rolling down my neck.

After drinking all the blood I went to the bed and sat down.

"Meyome, what's wrong?" Cross asked. "You haven't called me by my first name since you were tiny."

"It must've slipped out," I chuckled.

"Meyome," Cross sat on the bed with me. "Whats wrong?"

"Just a lot on my mind."

"Want to talk about it?"

"Not really." I sighed.

"Alright then I'll let you get to bed. Thank you for not fighting."

"Whatever."

"Good night."

And with that he left.
