"P-Please step outside!"
After Yui was finished with a quick hit shower due to being drenched, she was trying to get dressed into some dry clothes but Ayato wouldn't leave the room.
"I've seen you're cardboard body multiple times." Ayato sneered. "Have you forgotten?"
Yui sighed. She sneezed and knew immediately she caught the cold. With the horrible noise outside thanks to the thunderstorm Yui wanted to sleep through this. Yui began to quickly fasten her bra, but she was fumbling thanks to Ayato's laughter. Ayato snuck up behind her and fasten her bra for her.
"T-Thanks."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and sniffed her. "I don't think you'll get sick. Do you need anything? Hurry up and say something!"
"N-No! I'm okay."
He sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her to finish dressing.
Yui finally finished and laid down in the bed and began to hear the insane thunder pattern that made her heart drop. She whimpered quietly to herself. Ayato laid beside her bringing her close. Yui smiled a bit. She felt safe in his arms. Which was completely ironic. However, this was her safe haven. Thank you Ayato.
The blonde seemed relaxed and this put the vampire at ease. Stupid Pancake. He gave her a light kiss on hit forehead and watched her slept throughout that night.
(PAUSE)
The following day, Yui was in the music room with Shu. He was listening to music and laying on the floor, his eyelids closed. The reason why she in the music room is because she encounter Yuma who kept questioning her about Shu. She wanted to ask Shu what was the relationship between them.
"That's none of your business. Leave me alone."
Maybe that was a bit inconsiderate of me to pry.
"I'm sorry… it's just that he's always asking me about you. I don't know why, but he just is."
Shu yawned eyelids still closed. "I don't know why he's asking you about me. He should be talking to me."
"That's what I told him! But he says you ignore him and tune him out."
"I don't have to respond back to anything he says. He's an annoying beanstalk."
Yuma is pretty tall, he's 6'2 from what he told Yui. He's a very attractive man like all the Mukami and Sakamaki brothers. He has light brown hair that tied in a messy bun. He reminds her of Subaru. Both vuglar, coarse, and had a tough boy attitude however Yuma's hobby was gardening. Yui sat on the piano's chair and sighed.
As much as this sounds bad, Yui didn't feel like going to class. She personally wanted to spend time with one of the Sakamaki brothers or Mukami brothers. Ayato did not come with her to school today and she feels a little down. Shu was hard to talk to.
"I haven't heard you play your violin for a while."
"I have, maybe you didn't hear it." He annoyingly responded.
"Well… I know it sounds good. You have amazing talent."
"...Oi." He began to take out his MP3 player. He sighed heavily. "It's dead."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that."
He still left his ear plugs on refusing to take them off.
"Oi sing something."
"M-Me?"
"Yes. Hurry."
"Well what do you want me to sing?"
"Anything." A smirk appeared on his lips. "You can even moan if you need an alternative."
"N-No!"
Yui has taken a liking in Kou's taste in music since he is an idol. She began to sing "Bittersweet".
Shu opened his eyes and Yui's had hers closed.
She finished and quickly felt embarrassed by Shu's stare. Did he find my singing bad?
"Why did you sing pop?"
"I-I like the song…"
"Hm… well you didn't do too bad. Wish you sang something better."
"T-Thank you!"
"Little masochist kitty! Was that you?!" Yui turned around and noticed Kou's happy expression.
"Y-Yes!" This is so embarrassing!
"You should enter my contest!"
"C-Contest?"
"Some carnival is coming to the school and I need someone to sing with me."
But I don't think I'm that good to be singing with idol. I haven't sang in the church for a while now and I think I'm nervous to sing in such large crowds! What should I do?
"I-I'll think about it."
"Think quickly! I'll be in the auditorium hosting them! See you later little masochist kitty!"
"Carnival?" Shu questioned.
"Yeah…"
"They're so noisy."
The bell rang.
"Well I've gotta go lunch now. See you later Shu." Yui exit out of the music room and smiled a bit when she heard Shu say, "...Bye."
(PAUSE)
Yui was eating lunch on the school's rooftop. She really wished Ayato was here to hear her singing, but at the same time she was glad because she didn't want to hear Ayato's mean backhanded compliments.
"Do you mind if I sit next to you, Livestock?"
Yui nodded.
Ruki sat next to her and had his book in his hand. "I've heard you singing. I never expected you to sing pop."
"Y-You did?!" She exclaimed. He nodded. "How?"
"I was with Kou."
So embarrassing! I bet all the brothers heard me singing at this point!
"It was not too bad. You just need to work up on your nerves. You're very shaky and have no confidence whatsoever."
He's right. "Yeah… thanks."
It was pretty weird that his brothers and himself were pure blood vampires. She wanted to know more about him.
"Ruki, what was your life before you became a vampire?"
"Honestly," his tone was dark. "Asking me these dense questions."
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!"
His pale skin under the moonlight sky, and his fangs appearing… how did she not know he was a vampire from the time they hung out together?
"Are you frightened by me Livestock?"
"A… little bit."
"Hm." He paused. "Let's go somewhere for a bit."
He carried her bridal style and he flew.
"R-Ruki!"
"Look below you." he said softly.
Yui looked down and immediately loved the bright lights that gave such a nice atmosphere in the town. "B-Beautiful!"
"I agree." Ruki smiled at her. They locked eyes and he said, "Am I the first man to share this with you?"
"If you mean flying, no." Yui's heart was beating fast. He had such gorgeous eyes!
"That's too bad. I always wanted to show you this. Maybe I'll be the first to show you this amazing cafe."
They seated themselves at the cafe's outdoor seats.
"There's this amazing soup I would like for you to try." Ruki said picking up the menu.
"This is such a nice place, Ruki."
Their was lights shaped like festive red lanterns and sparkly jeweled balls. It was an amazing bright colors that made the mood a bit fun.
"It is. It has a nice and calm atmosphere that's suited for this moment."
For this moment? "What do you mean by this moment?"
"We spent time together, am I correct?"
Yui nodded.
"And that rebel vampire scum always interfere, correct?"
"Well… he interferes because I'm his possession."
"So you're telling me, you're his toy? And you enjoy being referred to as possession? Prey?"
Well… it's confusing.
Yui didn't know how to respond. Ruki shook his head a shame from what she has said, "Don't think lowly of yourself."
"Can we talk about something else?" Yui wanted to change the subject.
"Oh! That reminds me. Do you know Mr. Tougo?"
"Yeah he's a politician, father of the Sakamaki brothers. Why?"
"I've met him personally."
"Really? How?" Yui thought that Mr. Tougo was a private man.
"I'm one of the top students in the school and had a meeting with him."
"That's amazing Ruki!"
"He's an intellectual who wants to start anew."
"What do you mean?"
He smirked. "Just know that you're very important to me and him."
"I-I've never met him before…" Yui was blushing by Ruki's comment.
"You'll meet him soon."
Yui heard bells ringing in her head and in her head she sees a tree and apples falling. Yui was a bit dizzy.
"Eve, are you alright?"
"I-I'm okay…"
"I'll order our soups now. I'll get you water as well."
"T-Thanks Ruki."
(PAUSE)
One week has passed and it has been a pretty great week for certain people and for most cases. Yui had entered the Kou's contest. She didn't necessarily got picked to sing the song with Kou but was asked to be a backup singer. She agreed to it. Despite the letter he received from his father that drove him wild for a couple of hours, Ayato took his mind off it by introducing Yui to some of the best places in the city to eat and game. Ruki has been interfering with their outings that caused him to be more territorial. They challenged at every game. Chess, darts, basketball you name it! They were always tied for the games and this was entertaining for Yui. They acted like a bickering couple. There were occasions where Ruki wanted take Yui out and Ayato was able to interfere. At the end of the day, Yui had fun with the both of them and enjoyed their company. Kou wanted to give Yui singing lessons to outshine his partner who was annoying him constantly when they practice. Ayato was there watching her and Kou practice together.
"Ayato~ This area is reserved for talented people only~" Kou said his eye narrowing at Ayato. Ayato was tipping the chair and gave Kou an intense expression. "You think I don't have talent?"
"You rely on other people to give it you, so yeah."
"Kou…" Yui trailed off when she noticed Ayato stand up. He began to dance hip hop. Kou whistled at his moves and Yui was left with her mouth hung wide open.
After Ayato finished his amazing routine, Yui clapped.
"I must admit, that was an amazing performance!" Kou smiled.
"Of course it was!" Ayato remarked. He gave a small smile to Yui. "Thanks Pancake."
"Maybe Ayato can be a backup dancer!"
"That's a great idea little masochist kitty! What do you say, Ayato?"
He gave a sly smile. "But don't make me wear flashy clothes!"
Kou hugged Yui from behind. "Kou?"
"Oi! Flashy bastard! What are you doing?!"
"Aw~ I've been really thirsty lately! Her blood smells like you but the taste is to die for! Can I~"
Ayato snatched Yui. "Find your own food!"
Kou sighed. "Alright, alright."
It was an awkward silence for a moment until Kou's phone ranged. "I've gotta take this! Take five." And with that Kou left.
"Hey… Ayato?"
"Yo."
"Did you like my performance?"
"It's not better than my dancing."
Yui's cheeks were red. "O-Oh…"
He planted a soft and gentle kiss on her forehead whispering, "It's better than anything I've seen anyone do."
"T-Thanks Ayato…"
Should I tell him how I feel… or…
"There you are." Kanato appeared behind Yui which made her jump. "Miss Komori I would like to discuss something important with you."
"Oi, hysteric can't you see we're busy?"
"I don't care. Please come with me quickly Yui."
He pulled Yui away from Ayato.
Once they were alone together Yui asked him if everything was okay.
"I know who's been giving me those candies." Kanato was looking down at the floor.
"Oh! You found out who your secret admirer is?"
"Please refrain yourself from saying "secret admirer"." He said with a disgusted tone. "I been knew who it was… it's that girl. Masami."
Yui's eyes widened. She blinked in surprise. Masami's Kanato's secret admirer?!
Yui always thought Masami was into Ayato... Had she forgotten about him?
"Hehe… You never expected for someone to take a liking to me."
"I never said that!" Yui quickly said.
"Your actions speak for you."
"It's just that… Masami has always taken a liking to Ayato. I never thought she'll… be interested in someone other than Ayato."
"Hm... " He trailed off. He had no other idea what else to say.
"Well… do you like her?"
"She's not bad to look at. Her blood smells a bit unapeitizing" Kanato sighed. "She left me love letters and baked goods, but has not state her name. I can't take her seriously."
"...Do you think you can talk to her?"
"I can if I want to."
"Good. She hasn't been herself lately and I try to reach out to her."
"Well you obviously failed. So I'll try."
Yui smiled and clapped her hands happily. "Thank you!"
Kanato slammed Yui against the wall. "Mention this to anyone and you'll end up dead next to my mother's grave."
Yui quickly nodded, understanding what'll happen.
"Hysteric's in love? Disgusting." Ayato was laughing at his younger brother who was leaning against the wall behind them.
"Shut up!"
(PAUSE)
"Aaah~ my little brother is in love~ nfu~ when's my turn?"
Laito had his head on Yui's lap, reading an inappropriate magazine in the game room. Yui was a fluster mess in this position.
"I-It'll take time."
"It's taking too long~ I need a date to the carnival. I wanted to take you but your imprinted~"
"I-I'm sure the right one will come along and ask you."
"Your words of encouragement arouses me Little Bitch~" He winked at her.
"OI! Pervert!" Subaru barked. "I can't concentrate!" Subaru and Ayato were both playing the intense game pool.
"Stop getting cozy with her! I'll kick your ass!" Ayato glared at his brother. Because of that he lost the game.
"I win!" Subaru smiled.
"Rematch!"
"No way! I'm going to bed." Before Ayato can remark back, Subaru was walking out.
Laito sat up and stared deeply into Yui's eyes and held her shoulders. "Little Bitch, why don't we have fun anymore?"
"Laiiiiiiito." Ayato said slowly with a dark edge in his voice. "Hands off."
"I'll be waiting for you~" Laito said as he quickly walked out.
Ayato sat down angrily on the couch. Yui went closer to him and caressed his head. "I think you did great."
"Tch, you weren't even watching me. You were focused on Laito." He pouted. Was he jealous?
Yui smiled and brought him closer. "Maybe you were too focused on the game to notice."
Ayato chuckled. "This side of you is both annoying and funny. But don't be snappish often, I'll grow to hate it." He gave her a kiss on the lips. "You're still a bad kisser."
"H-Hey!"
A/N: Yui's Japanese voice actress can sing! Her voice actress name is Rie Suegara! Look up her music, especially "Bittersweet"! She plays as Fuka in the anime Idolmaster!
