out-standing like a pink crayon in a batch of black.
Llewellyn was either crazy or took him for an idiot. If he expected him to
take that load of dogshit for real, he was nuts.
He, Kou, could NOT be a vampire.
Vampires don't even exist anymore, only in faerie tales. He didn't feel a
craving for blood, he didn't turn into a bat, he didn't turn to dust when the sun hit
him. And to think he was ever even toying with the idea of falling in love with him.
"Ahem."
Kou looked up to see a dark figure in his room.
"Hello, Kou."
"Llewellyn! This is breaking and entering, get out!" Kou yelled.
"Kou, if I had been lying to you, how could I have gotten in?"
"You hang out in the red light district, you're probably just lockpicking
trash. Now go, you maniac." Kou felt like he wanted to cry. He was definitely on the
verge of it. He could feel the prickling sensation beginning to burn around his eyes.
Llewellyn sat on Kou's bed, and Kou allowed himself to be swallowed into
his arms. "Kou...if I can explain everything, you'll understand. Please, all I'm asking
is that you listen. I'd like it if you believed me when I said it, but I can't force that.
Now listen. When you met Cimbre, you knew his name. You said it. And you two
have never, ever met. That's because...you're both pure."
"Pure?" Kou was almost shaking in his arms with fear.
"Vampires. You're blood hasn't been watered down by humans. It's very
hard to find one like yourself. You have all the powers. Usually the genealogy goes
like this: a pure vampire mates with a pure human, a child is born, and that child
mates with another pure human. It's like the family is trying to breed the vampire
out of them. Well, eventually, a pure vampiric child will be born. You are one."
"What about Dolkahn?"
"He became Cimbre's spring."
"Spring?"
"The two were so in love with each other, that they decided they wanted to
live and die together. So Dolkahn chose to be his spring. He provides all the
lifeblood he needs. If Cimbre goes for a certain amount of time without him,
drinking from him, he'll wither away. With that, Dolkahn gets powers too. Not full
ones because a bit doesn't just automatically you a vampire, but some prettu useful
basic powers. Before Dolkahn, I swear, Cimbre was the biggest whore I knew. He'd
shake his ass for anyone who'd fuck him or be fucked by him. Dolkahn was his...his
lifemate. Now, in case you're not positive to make that kind of irreversable
commitment the spring is, there are simple chalices and such one can become."
Kou pulled away and looked at the man. "L-llewellyn...?" he said, his voice
audibly wavering as tears filled his eyes.
Llewellyn placed his hands tenderly on the man's back and held him close
to his heart. "And, I know what you thought earlier. About all the vampires in the
movies being obsessed with women. A myth. Vampiric beings of your breed
are...always attracted to their own sex....and I'm going to help you get over
that...day..."
At this, Kou shot backwards and stared wordlessly.
"You were fourteen years old," Llewellyn said quietly, holding Kou's hands
delicately, as if afraid to scare him off, "and your father picked you up from
school...You weren't expecting him...and when he showed up...you were kissing
Doug...Doug, your best friend..."
Kou began to tremble with tears, and collapsed into Llewellyn's arms. "H-he
beat me within an inch of my life th-that day...h-h-he said...n-no son of h-his was
going to b-be a faggot..."
Llewellyn held Kou tightly, tears forming in his own eyes now. Every day
when he had seen Kou for that past few years, that day swept into his mind. Oh,
how he had wanted to hold him like this, tell him everything was going to be
allright...
"Kou..." Llewellyn whispered gently, "I want you for my chalice."
He waited for the gasp, the scared look, the angry look, the slap. He waited
for one, or some, or ALL, but none came.Just one simple word.
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
A pause. "Say it again."
"Will you be my chalice?"
"Yes. Yes."
Llewellyn held Kou so that the two could look directly in each other's eyes.
Kou spoke before he could. "Llewellyn. I never thought it would be possible for
someone to get to me so quick. I've always had this wall up that no one even took
the time to break down. But you...you do something to me. I don't know what it is.
It's almost like you've enchanted me, which doesn't seem so impossible in light of
other things..."
Llewellyn chuckled a little, hugging Kou to him, "Don't worry, a
half-vampire can't enchant a pure blood."
"Just hear me out. Whenever you're around me, even though this is only the
third time we've even shared words, it feels like there's an everpresent hole in me
that's filled. You...oh god, that would sound too corny..."
"Say it. C'mon, just say it, I won't laugh."
"Promise?"
"Yes, say it!"
"It's like you...you complete me." Kou hugged Llewellyn tightly and said,
"And you promised you wouldn't laugh!" He felt Llewellyn's chest vibrate and jolt a
bit. "You promised!" he snapped a little, as he pulled back to look at him.
Llewellyn wasn't laughing at all.
He was crying.
"God, Kou, I'm sorry. But...I've been watching you for so long, like I said, to
the point that I fell in love with you. And hearing you say that is just like...like...like
I've been wandering aimlessly in a desert for years, and it's finally just started to
rain. I love you so much, Kou, and I can think of nothing in this world that could
please me mor ethan simply lying here with you."
Kou lay on top of him, gazing at him. "Then take me."
Kou's voice was so seductive, Llewellyn was instantly aroused. "As my
chalice?"
"As your chalice," Kou whispered, pulling back his hair to reveal him
beautiful barred neck.
Llewellyn place a strong hand on each arm, and arched upward to taste
Kou's flesh. It was salty with his sweat, but the taste seemed to melt onto his hot
tongue and linger like a sweet wine. Llewellyn let his inscisors sharpen, and could
hear nothing but the pounding of his heart.
"Do it," Kou almost hissed.
Llewellyn obeyed. His teeth pinched the suprisingly tender skin, and blood
flowed into his mouth.
Kou sucked in air through his clenched teeth, feeling himself drain into his
companion, his body growing somewhat slack. But then something totally
unexpected happened. He began to orgasm.
He placed both hands on Llewellyn's back, almost smashing their forms
together as though hoping they would merge and become one. The mix of the
orgasm and feeling the man he hoped to become his lover draining him had become
the single most erotic surge he had ever felt. He moaned loudly, knowing he was
bound to wake up someone. He felt his erection throb and pulse like mad, Llewellyn
sucking now on his neck as though simply out of pure pleasure, and he had to gasp
for air. It felt like the breath of life, crashing through his body and like the phoenix
he had died and was born again. He collapsed onto Llewellyn, feeling as worn out
as though they had just made fantastic love.
Llewellyn held him close to his body and kissed his forehead. Kou gasped,
"If I had known...it would feel...like that..." He couldn't even finished, he just sighed
and melted in Llewellyn.
Llewellyn smiled a bit. "You had an orgasm?"
"An...INCREDIBLE one...mixed with the feeling of the bite...oh my god, it
was almost too much to handle..."
"That's how you know that my feelings for you are pure. According to
Dolkahn, it absolutely explosive when the feelings are pure and you're becoming a
spring."
Kou looked at him, eyes widened. "I think I would die if I experienced one
more intense than the one you just gave me."
Llewellyn chuckled and drew Kou foreward for a kiss. The two fell asleep in
each other's arms, a tangled pile of black hair and contented sighs.
