"Sleep Duo pet. When you wake, I will be by your side."
Heero slipped his fingers through
Duo's hair before placing a gentle kiss over his forehead. The braided boy moaned faintly and turned
over, grasping the vampire's slim waist. The Lord Vampire let his body relax slightly, smiling at the innocence
of the scene displaying itself under his gaze. Against his own judgment, the vampire slipped an arm protectively around
his slave's small form and tucked him in his embrace.
"Heero…"
Duo was stirring softly in Heero's
arms and opened his eyes weakly.
"I'm so cold…"
"I know pet but I can
help that, if you let me."
The braided boy tired to smile
faintly but could only wince in pain. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I never thought I'd
say this, after all the harm you did to me… you bastard but…"
"Shh, please don't say
it."
"No, I have to. You hurt me more deeply than any being could
have in the past. You wounded not only
my body but also my soul and mind. Your
darkness seeped in my veins and made me freeze all over each time you placed
your hands on me but…"
"Duo, please…"
"Shut up Yuy."
These words made the Lord Vampire
shudder but he closed his mouth, tightening his grip around the small boy's
frame.
"As I said, you filled
me, every night, with your pain and darkness and I… I couldn't push it back. It hurt so much… you bastard… you hurt me so much but… now, I can't
stand the only thought of living without it. I truly am your slave now, Lord Yuy. You broke me completely and now I'm begging for more but… but I'm so
cold…"
"Duo, pet, will you
let me help you? After this, you'll
never feel cold again, for eternity."
The braided boy only smiled and
nodded, turning his head to the side, offering his already wounded neck to his
master's ministrations. Heero bent down
and licked the blood that had dried over the soft skin, massaging the wounded
flesh with his tongue. Duo let out a
faint moan and closed his eyes, waiting for the bite to come. The Lord Vampire parted his lips and reached
down until his nose tickled the base of his slave's neck.
"I love you Duo
Maxwell. From the very first night you
stumbled in this room, disoriented and lonely."
"Please Heero, I'm so
cold now…"
"Yes."
A sharp cry was soon followed by the
soft moans the Lord Vampire emitted while drinking his beloved's blood. Heero fed on his slave's life force until
the boy's strength reached a certain level he knew he couldn't cross. Regretfully pulling away from Duo's neck,
Heero bent down to the boy face and kissed his furiously, making him taste his
own blood. After Duo drank it down to
the last drop, the Lord Vampire stretched his arm out and bit his wrist right
on the pale tattoo that shimmered blue in the dark atmosphere of the room. The vampire's own dead blood dripped onto
Duo's parted lips and the boy hastily grabbed the offered vein, sucking as hard
as he could, taking back his own life force and letting in another, darker
entity.
"Stop… Duo… STOP!"
Heero pulled back his wrist, snatching
it from the gasping boy's grasp and watched him trash about in the bed. The braided boy cried out loudly, growled
and ripped some of the sheets with his nails. Soon, his grunts faded to nothing and Duo's body went very stiff. The Lord Vampire crawled back to the boy's
silent form and noticed the unmistakable glint of death in his purple eyes.
"And I love you also
Lord Yuy."
Both vampires, the old and young
fell into each other's embrace, kissing wildly. The kiss lasted for an indeterminate moment, each individual
unwilling to let go until finally, Duo pushed Heero back onto his back and gave
his master a devilish smile.
"What shall we do
tonight Lord Yuy? Play?"
"You don't have to
call me Lord Yuy anymore pet."
Duo tiled his head to one side, wondering
what his master meant by that.
"I gave you birth, you
have the same rights as I do to rule. You will also be known as a Lord Vampire, Lord Maxwell, if you wish."
"This name sounds
corny, how 'bout I just call myself Shinigami, won't that do?"
"Sounds perfect to
me. How about this little game then?"
Duo trailed his mouth along his
companion's chest and up his neck until he reached his ear.
"Let's play."
