No Way Out of This Maze
By SMYGO4EVA

Azusa did his best to pay no attention to the hateful glare of Kanato, but somehow he could not bear to see him without it.

They were one and the same; vampires, cruel to others and themselves, and unwilling to grow up.

As it was the two of them on the balcony, there were to be no interlopers in what they had done.

Kanato's grin was childishly wide, as he held his precious Teddy in his arms. Azusa gazed upon him with a curious look, wondering how absolute hatred turned into unexplained desire.

Well, that was no matter. They were both doomed to fall into growing darkness, and perhaps it was what they deserved.

Blood dripped slowly from Azusa's hands, onto the balcony surface, as Kanato walked closer to him.

You're just like me.

Kanato wanted to say that; he knew that it couldn't be true.

Azusa knelt down, pressing his hands against Kanato's face, and looked him straight in the eyes.

Please don't touch me…

This unnerved Kanato, his smile disappearing, as he looked into Azusa's dull, listless gaze, with streaks of red beginning to dry against the other man's hands.

Azusa doesn't speak a word to him, and neither did Kanato. They do not say a word to each other, even as Azusa leaned forward and grazed his fangs onto Kanato's neck.

Without thinking, Kanato moved in, pressing himself against Azusa, with Teddy still in his arms.

The boiling anger in his heart soon faded, and Kanato welcomed the familiar pinprick of fangs into his flesh, this time from Azusa.
