So I've managed to get better from the current situation I was going through. My friends and family have come over to my house to cheer me up and make sure I was eating, which I appreciate. Now I have friends that stay over just because they want to lol. Most of the reviews I've gotten told me and showed me how much you guys love my stories, which truly flatters me. So I'm back to writing. Sorry I took a while. My friend sort of added more workload onto me, and now I have two stories to write for. This one, and "The Romeo and Juliet from Iwatobi High" which is basically an idea my friend had, but lacked the effort to write, so she put it on me. Because she loved it, and as well as some of you guys, I will continue with that and this as well. So, what I'm trying to say is, please bare with me :I Thanks for sticking around and shtuff.

Anyways, ONWARD WITH THE STORY


The group had gone on shopping, Haruka having noticeably a distance between him and Makoto. He had been fine with everyone else, but his throat still seemed to have growing knot every time he'd get really close to the tall latter. Could there be a possibility that he was allergic to Makoto? Was that even a thing? Being allergic to a certain someone? But that wouldn't make any sense since he'd been with him almost his whole life. Not even once has this ever been a problem. His attention was brought back into reality once he felt a smaller hand hold his own hand. He looked down and saw Ran. She beamed at him, in which he returned the gesture with a light grin.

"So, where can we all go shopping?" Gou questioned, "I'm the only girl here."

"Well, if you consider the factors, Nagisa and Aiichiro can be considered females!" mocked Momotarou. Most laughed while Aiichiro blushed madly. But Nagisa smiled. His mouth showed a grin, but his eyes were clearly not smiling. All laughing ceased.

"Oh please Momotarou," laughed Nagisa, "even as a girl, I still wouldn't bang-"

"Language!" cautioned Makoto, covering Ren's ears, while Haruka did the same with Ran as if it were natural.

"Sorry," muttered Nagisa apologetically. Rei, knowing a sad Nagisa wouldn't do anyone good, took hold of the blonde's shoulder and grinned at him. Immediately, Nagisa beamed back.

"Like I was saying, where can we all go shopping?" repeated Gou. Haruka was about to speak, but Gou stopped him before he could even begin, "No swimsuit shopping. You boys have enough." Surprisingly, most of the guys groaned, as if that was the only place they shopped at. "Oh come on," she reprimanded, "there has to be someplace we can go."

Momotarou made his way to Gou's side and said, "I wouldn't mind going to girly places with you Gou-"

"It's Kou!" she interjected.

"Ah, my bad," Momotarou laughed, "I wouldn't mind going to girly places you with Kou-"

"Absolutely not," growled Rin, "you'd only want to go to look at cute girls or whatever."

"You have a better idea?" questioned Momotarou. Which, of course, Rin didn't. That's when Aiichiro decided to speak, although he was visibly nervous.

"W-What about a movie first?" he offered. Everyone's heads turned towards the boy, who seemed to grow even more nervous at the attention he was getting. "Y-You see... I heard there were some new titles... a-and I was curious so... it wouldn't... be... bad...?" Everyone was quiet until Rin let out a chuckle and wrapped an arm around the boy's head.

"Good thinking Ai! We can watch a movie and then worry about shopping or whatever," he announced.

Nagisa shrugged along with others, "Not bad, let's go then!" And so the group went onward.

Haruka was secretly glad he wouldn't have to be exposed to the sunlight for a while. Although he had put a sufficient amount of sunscreen on, his skin still felt hot under the scorching sun. Out of nowhere, Haruka's thinking completely stopped once he caught sight of a large fountain. Immediately, he let go of Ran's hand and began to take his shirt off, making sure his shades stayed in place, while he sprinted towards the body of water. It looked so cool, so refreshing, he just had to feel it. With his shirt long gone, he began to unbuckle his belt but was suddenly stopped by two large hands grabbing on to his arms to stop any more movement. Haruka looked up in discontent, but found out that person stopping was Makoto.

"Haru!" he whined, "Don't just strip in the middle of the street."

"I..." the growing knot in his throat was making it difficult for Haruka to make any clear thoughts. Makoto's hands were warm. He could feel a pulse through them. The rapid beating of his heart. He must have been worried for Haruka, which he shouldn't. He should be more worried about himself. More worried about what Haruka was feeling to do. What his instincts were telling him to do. To close the gap between them and to-

"Haru!" hollered Rin, snapping Haruka out of whatever he had been thinking. He looked over at the redhead who was headed his way in surprise and shook his arms out of Makoto's grip. What was wrong with him? "Haru! Put your goddam shirt on!" snapped the boy as he tossed him the piece of clothing. Feeling aloof and confused at himself, Haruka listened to his friend began to get dressed.

Makoto had a puzzled look on his face. Haruka was giving in easier than he usually did. He'd typically argue how it was a necessity to be submerged in the water, but he didn't even try this time. He couldn't exactly read Haruka's eyes since he was wearing his shades, but he knew that something wasn't right.

"Now that water boy here is dressed, let's go to the movies," said Rin, taking a hold of Haruka's wrist so he wouldn't go off again. Makoto nodded and made his way back to the group. Everyone began to talk normally to one another as if nothing exactly happened as they walked. Ren and Ran made their way next to their brother and each held one of his hands. Makoto gave them a grin, though his mind was still full of Haruka and what could possibly be wrong with him. This couldn't be a sickness, he wasn't exactly showing anything wrong except for his eyes. The again, he did smell like sunscreen, which wasn't like him since Haruka hardly ever cared for his skin tone. Nagisa noticed how uneasy Makoto looked, so excused himself from Rei and meandered through everyone to make it to Makoto.

"Mako-chan," he said, snapping the tall latter out of his thoughts, "you okay?"

"Yeah," Makoto replied, "why do you ask?"

"You seem sort of out of it. Like something's bothering you."

"Well, I'm just thinking about Haru. He seems... off today."

Nagisa thought for a bit, "What do you mean? Besides the shades, Haru-chan looks like his normal self."

"Not that," sighed Makoto, "he told me he was sick, something about his eye, so I let him borrow my shades."

"Haru-chan is sick?!" gasped the blonde, "Then he should be resting at home!"

"Well, he said he was just sensitive to the sunlight, nothing else. He seems fine, but I feel like there's something odd about him... I just can't put my finger on it."

Nagisa reached over one of the twins' head, since both were bickering over something and didn't seem to be paying attention, and patted the tall latter on the back. "Maybe you're over thinking Mako-chan," Nagisa suggested, "Haru-chan seems fine."

"Maybe..." Makoto murmured. Nagisa could be right about him, but something in his gut kept telling him that Haruka wasn't being... Haruka.

"We're here!" announced Gou. The theater wasn't as crowded as it normally would be. A few people were in line waiting for it to be their turn to order their movie stubs, some were waiting outside of the lines possibly decided what they were going to watch or simply waiting for someone to arrive.

"Hold up!" called Rin, halting everyone from getting in line, "What are we going to watch?" Everyone remained quiet.

"How about a scary movie?" suggested Nagisa, seeming eager to watch one.

"S-Scary?" stammered Makoto.

"We can't do scary," said Ran.

Sousuke raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you kids are scared of them, right?"

"No," answered Ren, "big brother is, though."

Rin snorted and agreed, "Yeah, Makoto does get scared easily..." Everyone went silent for a moment, as if they came to an agreement without Makoto knowledge.

"Scary movie it is!" roared Rin, and made his way to the line along with everyone else, while still having a grip on Haruka's wrist.

"Ehh?!" cried Makoto, "W-Wait a sec!" Although he tried to argue that a scary movie wouldn't be appropriate for the kids, the group was already settled with watching a scary movie, even the kids insisted that they hadn't watched one for a very long time and wanted to. Makoto gave in, but it was clear that he wasn't ready for what was coming.


Once they settled into their seats, Haruka wasn't completely happy with their seating arrangements. Of course, he was glad that he could finally take off his shades inside the theater, but the proximity he had with Makoto hadn't been something he was all that glad about. Haruka was seated between Makoto and Rin, Ran had gotten lucky to sit next to Makoto while her twin settled beside her. Ren didn't complain though, he had Nagisa beside him, and Nagisa assured that if he got scared, he could huddle with him and Rei, who was next to the blonde. Sousuke didn't seem all that happy with Haruka being next to Rin, so he took the redhead's side as well. Gou didn't want to be mushed between all these boys, so she decided to take a seat in the row in front of her brother, which was at his request. Momotarou, seeing this as an opportunity, took a seat next Gou, much to her and her brother's dismay. Because he was ordered to keep an eye on Momotarou by Rin, Aiichiro ended up sitting right next to the hyperactive guy.

Haruka took some calm, deep breaths in order to lessen the pain the knot was causing. Rin tapped his hand lightly, and Haruka glanced over at him, he shot him a smirk. Haruka huffed and reached for some popcorn that was in between him and Makoto. He grabbed a handful and began to eat as the whole room started to become dark. He heard Makoto let out a little yelp in fear but convinced himself to stare straight ahead. The music began to play, giving the room a while eerie mood with its high shrilling violins. Although he knew it was going to happen, Haruka was caught off guard when Makoto grabbed on to his arm. He let out a gasp and turned towards the shaking latter, who gave him a pleading gaze.

"H-Haru..." he whispered. Oh no.

Haruka realized it was getting difficult to breathe. A shriek came from out of nowhere, leading Makoto to grow closer to Haruka and yet another yelp. Haruka didn't even care what was happening on the screen, the knot in his throat and Makoto were distraction enough. He could hear his own rapid heartbeat in his ears. Unbeknownst to him, Haruka was slowly leaning closer to Makoto. Makoto's panting was growing louder, like his heart beat. Even in the darkness, Haruka could still see his exposed neck, a tiny pulse beating against the latter's tan skin. Such a temptation. He wanted a taste. A taste of Makoto. He shivered at the smell Makoto was giving him as he grew closer.

"Makoto..." purred Haruka, which he didn't mean to let it come out as a purr yet it still did.

The latter looked up from his hiding spot on Haruka's shoulder and shrieked at what he saw. No one questioned why Makoto was in so much fear, but what he was seeing was real. Haruka's eyes. They weren't the typical shade of oceanic blue he had grown up with. They were red. He let go of the boy and backed up on his seat. "H-Haru!" he loudly whispered in panic, "Your eyes!"

Haruka inhaled sharply at Makoto's outburst, which had thankfully snapped him out of whatever he was planning on doing. Not knowing what to do exactly, he grabbed Rin's arm that was next to him and looked at the redhead. "Rin. Talk. Now," said the boy, not caring if he was complaining, and began to drag him out. He could hear some distant calls from his friends, questioning what was wrong, and of course, the nagging coming from Rin telling him to let him go, but Haruka didn't care. He knew there was something wrong with him. Very wrong. Once outside, he made his way into the men's restroom and let the redhead go to talk.

"What the hell?!" growled Rin, "Are you crazy-"

"Rin, what kind of sickness is this?" Haruka interrupted as looked into the restroom's mirror and saw red eyes looking back at him instead of his typical blue ones, "Makoto barely grabs me and I started thinking all these things and- My eyes, Rin! What's wrong with my eyes?!"

"Wrong with you eyes-" Rin stopped and took in Haruka's face. He looked at the red orbs, shook his head, and sighed, "I told you this already, you're a vampire with needs-"

"Rin! Stop! I'm not playing!"

"Nor am I!" he retorted, "You're vampire Haru! And you really need to feed!"

"Rin-"

"No! Shut up and listen! Like it or not! Believe it or not! Your decision! But I am not lying to you! You are a vampire and your type is Makoto! Your need to feed will grow stronger to the point that you'll lose control and attack him yourself with no control! I don't know how you're going to do it, but you have to feed today before you actually lose control of yourself!"

"Rin!"

"What?!"

Suddenly, Haruka began to tremble, "I... I don't want to..." He slid down to the floor and wrapped his arms around his knees, "I don't want to... I don't like this!" Haruka didn't want to admit it, but he was starting to believe Rin. Eyes don't glow red from a sickness, they never are supposed to just suddenly change into a new tint.

It sounds impossible

but maybe...

...maybe I am a vampire.


YES. FINALLY. YES.

It took me a while, but I did it. Ugh. My sides. Agh. And on to work on more chapters :I Mm.
