"Vampires. They exist."You woke up in silken satin sheets, on a king sized bed. Your body felt so warm and comfortable. You didnt even bother to get up or get ready for class, you decided that you needed to rethink your life. Your uncle had you enrolled into a beautiful academy, you fit in well making many friends with ease. Getting amazing grades without any trouble. The more you thought about it the more it felt like a dream, a made up fantasy that you imagined in your head to help keep you from going insane. Frustrated with yourself, tears began to well up in your eyes. You covered your eyes with your arm, lightly sobbing to yourself.
"Whats wrong?" You gasped at the unexpected voice, you sat up to see Shiki holding a tray with what seemed to be your breakfast. You looked up surprised and slightly embarrassed. "Shiki-kun, dont you know how to knock." He ignored your comment and sat the tray on your lap. Then sat himself on the edge of your bed, looking at you with his blank expression. Then after a few minutes, he looked away and began to munch on some pocky he pulled out of his pocket.
You looked down at your food, your stomach was grumbling making weird whale noises. But your throat felt tight, you pushed the tray away from you. "Yuki, made it for you." Shiki commented not bothering to face you. Slightly sighing, you gave up and pulled the tray back and began to eat. When you were done, Shiki took your tray and placed it on a nearby nightstand. Then, just like last time, he sat down next to you and began to stare.
You thought you could endure it, or maybe just ignore it. But his jaded eyes began to unnerve you. "Shiki-kun? Is there something on my face?" You tried to look him in the eyes, but began to shy away. He made things feel so tense and uncomfortable, you werent sure what to do. Your face was slightly to the left, avoiding eye contact. Giving Shiki a perfect look at your neck, the angle you were giving him was welcoming. You were surprised when he whispered in a gentle voice, "Dont move."
You were well aware that he was one of them, a vampire. You were aware that he could suck you dry in a matter of minutes. That he could take your life before you would even notice it. Yet, you yourself wondered why when he leaned in and brushed his lips against your neck, you did not push him away, or scream. Hell, you didnt even flinch.
Noticing your willingness. He brought himself closer, adding pressure to his lips, he pulled away slightly, gaping his mouth. You could feel his gentle breaths leave his lips, and then, he jumped away. Your head snapped in his direction, confused. "Shiki-kun?" He began to walk towards the door, upon opening it, Aidou walked in. He looked at you with a slightly annoyed glare in his eyes, "Did you eat your breakfast?" You nodded your head
As Aidou walked in Shiki walked out. Your attention at that point had shifted to Aidou, he laid down a cute Lolita styled dress, "Rima said that you were probably her size, get dressed. We're going out." Not giving you any time to object and complain that you wanted to stay in bed. He walked out giving you your privacy, leaving you there with your mouth still hanging open.
'What an obnoxious, rude brat!' Frowning at the attitude he gave you, you got up and got dressed.
Walking out of the room, Aidou handed you a pair of knee high boots to wear. Slipping them on, "Lets go." You stumbled behind him, trying to keep up with his pace. Though that seemed to be slightly impossible. You could see the stairs up ahead, "Hurry up, walk faster." His tone was harsh. He was already half way down the steps, slightly embarrassed, you didnt want to be scolded again so you picked your pace up, and being the clumsy person you were. You missed a step, closing your eyes preparing your body for impact, you were surprised when you felt Aidous arms steady you.
Letting your body relax, you opened your eyes, you then noticed just how close Aidou was to you. You looked up at Aidou who had his eyes closed, "What are you doing idiot. Watch your step!" His eyes snapped open, he looked angry, annoyed and just plain infuriated. He then continued to walk in front of you. Your throat tightened painfully, as you blinked away tears that tried to rise. You then began to follow him with a decent amount of distance.
You silently followed him into town, you wanted to ask why you were there, but you didnt want to upset him any further. You kept your eyes at his back, making sure not to get separated. When he suddenly glanced back at you with that same annoyed expression. Having him look at you with that kind of expression made you feel alone. You began to feel depressed, you looked to the ground and unconsciously, your pace began to slow.
'Did, I do something to cause him trouble? Did I-'
Your thoughts were cut short when you had bumped into someones back. "Oh! Im so sorr-" The person only began to walk away slowly, as if they were completely unaware of your existence. Finally coming to your senses, you noticed a crowd had formed around you out of nowhere. You were lost, and to top it off. Aidou was nowhere to be seen. 'Oh no.'
You figured that walking around town mightve been a good idea, you thought there would have been a chance that you would run into Aidou. It only took a few minutes for you to begin cursing yourself for such a stupid and reckless idea. You continued to walk, glancing in all directions. When you felt someone bump your shoulder, you looked back at the person and apologized. The person was an older man with pale skin and tired eyes. He looked at you and smiled, "No worries child."
You nodded then began to walk away, when he grabbed your wrist. You looked back confused, "Pardon me, but could you be lost?" You hesitated in answering, there was something telling you that you should lie and get away, but you found no actual reason to. 'Maybe...He can help me?'
"Actually, I am."
