Bridled Deception
The demon allowed his fangs to delve into the soft, pink flesh, forcing crimson blood to spill forth.
Being as he wasn't a vampire, it didn't taste nearly as good if he would have been. Blood only served the purpose to heal him. It was his only means of survival after a fight.
But he did know, however, that this blood more than just average. Calling it ambrosia, the drink of the gods, would be an insult. It was filling him with such life and renewed energy as no other angel's blood had ever done in his far off past.
And it was warm. So warm. Steaming and vibrant and overflowing with vitality. He let the intoxicating liquid splash down his throat as he drowned in it's effects.
He could feel his arm healing, he could feel the bruises begin to deminish.
Incredible.
And Yuugi had been so willing! Knowing full well that he was a demon and a previous killer and resided in the bowels of Hell.
And he offered to save his life anyway.
Heh. A simple little infatuation. Not anymore. The demon's tiny little heart was starting to unshrivel.
A moan from the young teen snapped Yami out of his trance, and he jerked his head away, hoping that he hadn't become so lost in his euphoria that he had taken too much blood.
Blinking open his ruby red eyes, he looked at Yuugi, who was now being supported by him, eyes half-lidded.
It would be so easy now. To just snap that pretty little neck, hear the satisfying 'CRACK!', but no. He fought his own nature of death and destruction.
And, to his own surprise, and the butterflies dancing in his stomach, he nuzzled the teen affectionetly.
AFFECTIONETLY.
This was something that he didn't even know he had the capacity to do.
Yuugi groaned again, swaying slightly. The serum from the demon's fangs was lulling him to sleep. "A-are you all. . .all right now, Yami?" He whispered.
"Hai," the demon muttered back in his ear. "Not all of my wounds are healed. A couple of infusions of blood will be nessecary to heal all of the way."
"Hmm," Yuugi nodded, ready to fall onto the bed. "D-do you want me to stay. . . with you?"
The demon hugged him, while continueing his show of affection. "Would you?"
"H-hai." And with that, Yuugi collapsed on the bed next to Yami, who also lowered himself back down again. Too much movement still would not be a good idea for him. It takes a while for broken bones of a demon to mend, after all.

Sugoroku kicked off his mud-ridden shoes in the entry way, allowing his bag of grocieries to be dropped unceromoniously onto the table. It was now snowing profusely outside, and the mud and grim seemed to thrive in the fresh slush.
Running an old hand through his grayed hair, he decided to go upstairs and see how his grandson was doing. Yami was supposed to have been given a bath, and he hoped that all went well.
The poor kid seemed to get along better with Yuugi than with anyone else.
Walking up the stairs, snoring greeted his ears, and he peeked his head inside the door to the first spare bedroom.
Well, this he certainly wasn't expecting.
Yami was asleep, like usual. But what was odd, however, was he was on his side. Which meant that his arm wasn't hurting him.
And his face didn't look as pale as before he left.
What was even odder, however, was Yuugi was asleep right next to him. And Yami's arm was around Yuugi's chest.
AROUND YUUGI.
As far as the elder man knew, any and all contact made to the strange teen was a catastrophy.
And yet here he was, sleeping soundly, holding someone.
Sugoroku knew that Yuugi has stayed a few night with the stranger when the teen had some bad dreams, and was oddly welcomed at the time.
Well, despite the oddness of the situation, it was a good sign. It meant the the stranger was recovering, and perhaps, just perhaps, Yuugi may get out of the teen where he was from, and if his home was stable to return to.
Giving a half smile at the progress his grandson made in cracking that emotional shell, he turned to leave, noticing something soft as his foot brushed against it.
Looking down, the old man saw that it was something black. Upon picking it up, a large, black feather greeted his aged lavender eyes. It was beautiful. Glimmering and sleek and so very, very soft.
'Where in the blazes did this come from,' he wonderd. Shrugging, he set it on the desk and closed the door.
