:D Hi... yeah. I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOO sorry for my incredibly long break. There was a lot of stuff to deal with. Also, I got a kitten :I he fell through the roof unharmed (like wtf, Jesus?) and ended up in my home, so now I have this little ball of black fur frolicking around and I have to take care of him. He was subsequently named Corvall by my friends, so yeah :I
Without further ado, LES GET ON WITH THE STORY.
A vampire. Haruka was a vampire. It just wouldn't sink in. As ridiculous as it sounded, it was literally the only thing Haruka could imagine was the reason for his... oddness. Rin's repetitiveness had him convinced, and, though he didn't dare say it, Haruka knew he'd had to follow whatever the redhead recommended.
"You calm now?" asked Rin, running his hand against Haruka's back at an attempt to comfort him.
"Yeah," Haruka breathed, his voice sounding a bit husky after his sudden outburst of cries which had taken rather a few minutes to cease, "Rin, who... who else?"
"Huh?"
"Who else... knows... about this?" Haruka spat, already discontent having to succumb to, what he had all his life believed to be, a fantasy.
"This as in... the vampire shit?" Rin questioned, motioning their surrounding. Haruka hesitantly nodded and Rin grinned in satisfaction, seeing as how his friend was finally appearing to believe what he had been trying to tell him. "Ah," he breathed, crossing his arms over chest, "well... me, of course, Sousuke... and now you!"
"Sousuke?" Haruka glanced over at the redhead who was leaning on the sink counter, "Sousuke's a... vampire?"
"Uh, no no," Rin scratched the back of his head as he sighed, "he's my... well you see we're—"
"Fuck buddies," answered Haruka, which earned him and immediate whack to the head.
"GOD NO! HE'S MY PARTNER!" Rin growled as a blush began to spread across his cheeks.
Haruka huffed, "Same thing."
"IT ISN'T! God, where the hell did you even learn that?!"
"Nagisa showed me a site called Urban Dictionary," Haruka stated in a monotonous voice, as if there was nothing wrong with the sudden vulgar language.
"Tch, well like I said, were not that, we're partners."
"...really sounds that same, Rin."
"It isn't."
"But it does."
"But it isn't."
"It really does—"
"Okay! We're off topic!" declared the redhead, knowing that a verbal argument with Haruka would take years to settle, "Back to you and your issues!"
Haruka frowned as he remembered Makoto's reaction to his eyes. He was frightened of him. Makoto had pulled away from him.
"Makoto..." he murmured, "...Makoto... he saw my eyes..." While saying so, Haruka reached up to run a few fingers over his closed eyelids, hoping that he hadn't completely lost his blue-colored eyes.
"Right," Rin sighed, "well... you could tell him the truth...?"
"Are you crazy?" Haruka scoffed, "Tell Makoto, who fears the irrational things, that I, his best friend, am a vampire, a creature I've convinced him never existed which yet he still fears?! Is that sane to you?!"
"Okay okay, calm down. I see your point," Rin sighed and let his head flop back against the wall, "ah... we could—"
Suddenly, Rin's phone started going off. The redhead checked to see who was calling him while Haruka just stared in wonder. Rapidly, Rin glanced at the screen and accepted the call.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?" asked the other line, and Haruka could guess it was Sousuke.
"With Haru."
"Rin, for the last time, when I ask 'where' don't answer 'with who'," Sousuke huffed, "so like I asked the first time, where are you?"
Rin rolled his eyes at Sousuke's early yapping and answered, "Bathroom."
"Actually, restroom," corrected Haruka, "this place has no bath, Rin. Get your facts straight."
"Shut up!" hissed Rin.
"I didn't even say anything," said Sousuke from the other line.
"Not you, Sousuke," groaned Rin, "look, just get here, I think I've got an idea."
"On my way."
It didn't take long for a knock to come from the restroom door. Knowing that it'd be bad for others to see Haruka bawl, Rin had locked it. Sniffing the air, Rin knew it was Sousuke and promptly opened the door. Sousuke stepped in and glanced over at Haruka, who seemed to be a complete mess, while Rin locked the door once again.
"Alright! So, for now, this is what I have in mind," announced Rin as he clapped his hands together, "Sousuke, let Haru feed from you."
"Excuse me?" scoffed the latter, while Haruka had disgust written across his face.
"At this rate he'd probably attack Makoto by instinct and without holding back," explained the redhead, "and Makoto would... you know..."
"Cry and piss his pants," answered Haruka, understanding that Rin had a point.
"...well not necessarily piss his pants, but yeah, you get what I'm saying."
"I see..." breathed Sousuke, "but... why Makoto...?"
"Because he's Haru's 'type'," Rin explained.
Sousuke shaped his lips in an 'oh' and glanced back at Haruka, who's face of abhor towards him was bothering him more than the idea of actually letting him feed from him.
"I guess I get it," began Sousuke, "but... gross," he shuddered.
"Excuse me?" Haruka raised a brow, "I'm not even that repulsing for your information. In fact, I should be the one saying gross."
"That's not even what I meant-"
"Hey! No time for this!" interjected Rin, "The movie isn't going to last forever, and this is the only time Haru has to feed and calm down, so you," he pointed at Sousuke, "let him feed, and you" he pointed at Haruka, "shut your trap and start sucking."
"Eww," murmured Haruka. Of course, he would never do such a thing, yet Haruka's body seemed to go along by instinct with what Rin ordered. Once Sousuke knelt down near Haruka and began to pull his shirt's collar down, something stirred inside Haruka. It wasn't the same as when he was close to Makoto, but it was similar. He inched near Sousuke's barren neck slowly as his, as he figured to be, fangs began to take form from his canines. Before he could even express his own disbelief and disgust with himself, Haruka began to feed.
"See, it wasn't bad," assured Rin, "it's natural Haru."
"Natural?!" Haruka spat, holding himself against the sink as he began to clean himself, "there's nothing exactly natural about this!"
"I don't see how you're in any position to by complaining," groaned Sousuke as he patched his neck up, "I'm the one who should be more disgusted for even having your lips touch my neck."
Haruka frowned as he thought of the sickening sound his tongue made when it lapped up the blood. Even if his mind was screaming for him to stop what he was doing, his body didn't comply at all until it seemed satisfied. "It was... gross."
"Gross?!" Sousuke scoffed, appearing offended which baffled Haruka.
"Guys. Stop. We don't have time for this," Rin sighed as he shook his head in annoyance, "seriously, I don't even understand why you guys never get along."
"He gives off a weird vibe," answered Sousuke, "it doesn't settle right with me."
"He's too tall," stated Haruka, "that's it."
"Wait, Haru, Makoto is taller than you," Rin pointed out.
"...it fits him. Don't question my reasons."
"Right... well anyways, how do you feel? Your eyes seem to have gone back to their normal hue."
"Oh," Haruka let out, he didn't realize until now that the knot in his throat that had been bothering him for what seemed to be an eternity had finally ceased, "I'm... fine."
"Great! Now, what are you going to tell Makoto since he saw your eyes?"
"I haven't really thought of it," Haruka admitted as he scratched the back of his head.
"Makoto saw his eyes?" questioned Sousuke.
"Yes, and they were red, glowing red," added Rin.
"Well, he could just say that it was Makoto's imagination. His own fear making him see things and whatnot."
Rin shook his head, "Oh come on, Makoto isn't that dumb-"
"That could work," said Haruka.
"Huh?! How would that ever work?! Makoto isn't stupid! Your eyes were glowing!" argued Rin.
"The light of the screen made my amazing dazzling eyes glow."
"Did you seriously just call your eyes 'amazing' and 'dazzling'?" Rin cringed along with Sousuke.
"I've been told that they seem as deep blue as the ocean, so I won't argue with that."
"...I'm gonna ignore that you ever said that now," Rin continued, "But anyways, your eyes weren't glowing you normal color though, they were red."
"Once again, the color of the screen," answered Haruka.
"...You know what. Fine. Let's just go with that. We can't be here through the whole movie, or else it'll be obvious that something isn't right," concluded Rin as he made his way over to the door with Sousuke, "so come on."
Haruka nodded as he finished drying off his face and made his way over to Rin, being wary that it seemed like Sousuke wanted him too close to Rin. Even though it was Rin that was feeding off of this said partner, Sousuke looked like the one that was more attached to Rin himself. There was a chance that two were going out, but thinking about Rin and Sousuke together made Haruka picture things he most definitely did not want in his mind, so he banished the thought and made his way back to the theater room. He friends were probably worried about his outburst, but he could just say he needed help with his eyes due to his "sickness" and they'd probably believe it, so he already had that issue covered. Once inside, Haruka and the other two quietly made their way back to their seats, excusing themselves as they slid between people. Though it was dark, he could see Makoto's worried look transform into relief once he set eyes on Haruka.
Haruka sat down next to him and whispered, "Sorry for leaving..." he fumbled around with his fingers, "I needed to go to the restroom."
Though it seemed odd that Haruka took Rin with him, Makoto decided not to question him. "It's okay," he whispered back, "I'm sorry that I freaked you out... I must have seemed crazy for saying your eyes were different and stuff," Makoto looked down then back at Haruka, "I'm really sorry."
The knot in Haruka's throat was gone, he knew that, yet there was still a feeling inside of him which he couldn't exactly decipher. Just seeing Makoto's pleading eyes for forgiveness made something in him steer. Maybe it was that "type" thing Rin had mentioned. He decided to ignore the feelings and continued to lightly whisper.
"Don't worry about it," Haruka glanced at the screen, then back at Makoto, "you must have thought they looked off because of the screen or something."
"Hmm, yeah, maybe," Makoto frowned a bit and kept his eyes down. Haruka noticed that he was lightly flinching at the sounds coming from the movie. He slowly reached for Makoto and placed his hand on top of his.
"Hey," Haruka whispered again, "it's just a movie, Makoto."
"I-I know," he replied.
Haruka lightly grinned as he watched Makoto attempt to act brave and face all the gore being depicted in front of them. It wasn't ideally what they'd be bonding over, but it would suffice. Yet with this bliss, there was still another thought that was plaguing Haruka's mind. Though his hunger and aching for blood, as gross as it was, had subsided, would it be long until it's arise again? And if it did, what would he do then?
...I mean... there's no way anything worse that could happen today...
Well damn diggity done did it.
Once again, I'm incredibly sorry for my long absence. I've been having to deal with work from school, personal matters, and other stuff that you may not be interested in. Hopefully I can get into the habit of writing again, since art has been taking up most of my free time. And don't worry guise, we'll get to sexy stuff soon or whatever OuO huehuehue.
