Chapter Ten: Peridot Neon Green

"A toast to the future king and his santa vampiria!"

Vampires from all over the vampire lands raised their glasses of blood into the air with a cheer. A loud clink of glass was heard, and then the vampires drunk their glass, while Judai drunk red wine that looked like blood.

As soon as Johan and Judai had returned, they had told Andrea that they were engaged.

The first thing that Andrea had done was squeal, latch onto Johan, and squeeze him. She then threw Johan back, grabbed Judai, and squeezed him to the point of suffocation. Before Judai "died", she pulled him back, kissed him on the cheek, and squealed loud enough to shatter their ear drums.

Joshua messed up Johan's hair, laughing, and then immediately called a party to celebrate the new couple.

Vampire nobles from all over came to the party, many that Judai had never seen. Judai had been greeting nobles like crazy for most of the night, and he was exhausted.

Worst of all, almost all of the female nobles that were around his age wanted to dance with Judai!

He was thankful when Johan took his hand, smiled to the nobles, said "Sorry, ladies. He's mine." and then brought Judai to where Andrea and Joshua were standing before the crowd.

Judai was dressed in the outfit he had worn to the dinner the first night at the vampire main lands, and Johan was still dressed in his prince clothing, the same he had worn at the dinner and at the Vampire Gods shrine.

Judai yawned and rubbed his eyes gently. Johan glanced over and placed his hand on Judai's shoulder.

"Judai, you all right?" he asked.

Judai looked at his new fiance and smiled. "Y-yeah," he whispered. "Just a little tired. I'm not use to this whole night schedule that you vampires run your parties on. I feel like I'm gonna collapse any minute from exhaustion."

Johan smiled and laced his arms around his fiance's shoulders.

"Let's get you into the bedroom before you pass out," he whispered. Judai smiled and nodded slowly.

Johan turned and tapped his mother on the shoulder.

"Mom," Johan said. Andrea raised an eyebrow. Johan sighed. "Mommy," he said. Andrea grinned. "Judai's exhausted. I'm gonna bring him to my bedroom, okay? He's gonna collapse any minute."

"Okay, Baby," Andrea said. She kissed Johan on the forehead and then gave Judai a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you two in the morning, then. Sleep well, the two of you."

Johan bid his mother good night, nodded to his father, gave him a hug, and then led Judai towards the doorway at the end of the ball room where the party was being held.

The young female nobles were all murmuring about how adorable Judai was, and about how hot Johan was. Judai looked up at Johan with a big, sly grin.

"Seems you're pretty popular with the ladies, hmm?" he joked.

Johan rolled his eyes. "I'm already spoken for. After all, you're my fiance. Not them," he said, motioning towards the band of swooning girls who were practically collapsing with happiness because Joha had looked at them.

'Imagine if they know what Johan had done with me. If they faint at thoughts of Johan looking in their direction, this'd kill them. Lucky me,' Judai thought with a giggle.

As Johan got closer to the door, a figure stepped into his path.

"Ah, Johan! There you are!"

Johan froze in mid-step, mentally cursed, and put on a fake smile, glancing up. Judai slowly glanced up, his vision blurry from exhaustion. He spotted someone standing before him and Johan.

It was a young woman with red hair that fell in waves down to her waist. Some of the hair was tied at the top of her head in two small meatball shapes. Her eyes were a pale yellow, very similar to Asuka's and Fubuki's. She looked like she was a bit younger than both Johan and Judai, but she had a large chest for a girl her age.

She was dressed in a low cut green dress with long sleeves and ruffles around the waist. She had jewelry piled on, and her lips were covered with pale pink lipstick. Her eyes were rimmed with black mascara, and Judai had to admit, she looked kind of beautiful.

"Hello, Madaline," Johan said through his teeth, a false smile plastered on his face.

'Madaline?' Judai thought.

Madaline, as Johan had called her, looked over and smiled at Judai. Judai flinched slightly at her smile, sensing something strange behind her smile. Madaline curtsied to Judai.

"How do you do, Judai-sama? My name is Madaline Rhodes, youngest daughter to Lady Madina Rhodes," she said with a smile.

Judai nodded.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Madaline," he said.

"Please," Madaline giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. "Please, Judai-sama. Just call me Madaline, okay? I'm not into that whole "Lady" or "Mistress" thing."

"All right," Judai said with a kind smile. Madaline turned to Johan with a smile. Johan felt a chill rush up and down his spine. He didn't like the smile that Madaline was giving him. It was... a flirty grin?

"I'm glad to see you returned safely, Johan," she said.

"Yeah," Johan nodded slowly. "Madaline, I have to go bring Judai to bed now. He's tired."

"Ah, of course," Madaline said. She curtsied to Johan and Judai again. "Have a good night, both of you."

"Good night," Judai murmured, smiling sleepily.

Johan bowed and carted Judai off towards the bedroom. He nodded to Jim and O'Brien, whom he passed, and then carefully swifted Judai off towards the bedroom.

"Hey, Judai? Wanna see something awesome before you fall asleep?" Johan asked.

"Sure," Judai smiled.

"All right," Johan smiled back. He passed the snack table, grabbed a Boston Cream Donut, and then walked to the bedroom, using his free hand to keep his fiance from collapsing and falling asleep in the middle of the hallway.

As he watched Johan vanish from the room, Joshua sniffed the air and glanced around.

'The scent of rebel vampires and werewolves,' he thought bitterly.

--

Judai watched in awe as Johan bit around the cream donut and inhale deeply.

Judai could hear a sucking noise, and when Johan pulled the donut out of his mouth, it was totally unharmed. Johan licked the bit of cream from the donut off his lips and handed the donut to Judai.

"Check it out," he grinned.

Judai looked at the donut and shook it. He couldn't hear anything, and when he tore it open, the inside of the donut was totally clean. Judai's eyes widened, and he scanned the donut again.

"I don't believe this," Judai breathed.

Johan grinned and folded his arms across his chest. Judai looked over the donut again and stared at Johan, mouth agape with shock. Johan surpressed a laugh at his fiance's look.

"You sucked the cream out of this donut," Judai said in shock.

"Being a vampire rocks," Johan grinned.

"That's so cool!!" Judai squealed, looking at how there wasn't a drop of cream left in the donut at all. "How did you do that!? That has to be the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!"

Johan smirked.

"That's not all I can suck, Judai," he winked. Judai blushed and hurled the empty donut at his fiance.

"Johan!" he squealed.

Johan laughed and wrapped his arms around Judai.

"I love you, Judai," he smiled.

"I love you too, you pervert," Judai joked back with a yawn.
