The Vampire's Kiss: Chapter 2.
When Yuki arrived at his flat, Shuichi was sitting on the coach with his arms around his knees. He was watching his Nittle Grasper video and was obviously upset.
"I'm home," Yuki said.
At the precise moment he heard Yuki, Shuichi jumped out of the sofa and hurled himself at his lover: "Yukiii, you're back!"
Yuki smiled softly while Shuichi couldn't see his face, then pushed him away: "That's what I've just said, baka."
"Don't call me that! I'm not a baka! And where have you been?"
"I was… busy."
Shuichi pouted: "You don't want to tell me!"
"That's not important," Yuki lied.
"But…"
"You talk too much," Yuki cut in.
He leaned forward and kissed Shuichi passionately. Yuki felt the desire rise within him at once. He had never experienced something so quick and so powerful until then. It must come from his new vampire senses. He kissed Shuichi more wildly and his lover moaned. Then, Yuki was completely turned on and dragged Shuichi into their bedroom. As they were about to come, Yuki saw how yummy Shuichi looked, the thirst overcame him and his fangs pulled out. But he controlled himself and the thirst receded as he was lying next to Shuichi.
What had he been about to do? That damned hunger! There was no way he was going to harm Shuichi!
Shuichi rolled over him and got himself comfortable: "That was great, love. Good night!"
"Good night!" Yuki mumbled. But he had difficulty falling asleep after what he had almost done to Shuichi.
----------
The following night, the hunger had become unbearable again, so Yuki reluctantly went hunting. He had become a monster! Of course, he wasn't killing anybody, and yet, he was feeding on blood! On human blood, at that! And he knew he was harming those people. His victims from the previous night had left weakened and disoriented. What right did he have to hurt those people for his own benefit? Well, he didn't really have a choice. Because there was the hunger! So he had to hunt humans if he didn't want to go insane. But if he ever harmed Shuichi, he would never forgive himself. Maybe it was wiser to leave him.
A young man arrived and Yuki decided he would be his first prey. He attacked him and began drinking his blood. At a point, he knew he should stop, but he was still thirsty. It was awfully difficult to control himself, to stop drinking and to heal the poor man. He could have killed him!
What if the same thing happened with Shuichi? No, he didn't want to think about that! Really, he knew it was more cautious to go away. But Yuki couldn't bring himself to leave his pink-haired singer.
Then, Yuki saw a woman coming towards him and attacked her. After drinking her blood, he felt good. So he only needed to drink the blood of two people to feel sated. He remembered that Samuel had mentioned he needed more blood because it was his first night.
"Hello, Eiri!"
Talk of the devil!
"Samuel, I think I told you to leave me ALONE!" Yuki glared at the other vampire.
"You could show me more respect. I am your sire."
"I never asked you to do that to me."
"No, that was a gift."
"I don't want gifts either."
"Well, you're in a foul mood tonight!"
Yuki sneered.
Samuel continued: "It doesn't matter. You'll come around very soon. And I'm not in a hurry. After all, we're immortal!" He went away with a smug smile on his face.
----------
The following nights, Yuki could hunt without being interrupted. But after one week, Samuel appeared again.
"Well, for an immortal, you're not very patient!" Yuki mocked him.
"I thought that, by now, you should have said goodbye to your human life."
"Not in the least," Yuki replied.
That vampire was really getting on his nerves! Even more than Shuichi! At least, Shuichi was cute. Well, now he was thinking about it, Samuel was very handsome too. But… but he wasn't Shuichi! And this argument was utter nonsense! Yuki sincerely hoped he would never say anything that slushy in front of Shuichi.
"Yuki, you don't understand! Everybody is going to grow old, but you'll stay young forever. You can't go on with your human life. If humans knew about us, they'd track us down. And when you have human friends or lovers, it's so hard to see them aging and dying. Come with me! It's the best thing to do!"
"I've been a vampire for ONE week! I don't think anybody has noticed I'm not growing old any more!"
Why was he even listening to that vampire? Hey, now, that was an idea! He only had to ignore Samuel until he left him alone. Usually, that worked quite well to get rid of Mika or Toma. Well, it had never worked with Shuichi, of course, but Shuichi was an idiot. Meanwhile, Samuel kept on talking, but Yuki had no idea what the other vampire was saying and couldn't care less. He left without a word. Samuel was taken aback and finally realized that it wasn't going to be as easy as usual.
----------
"So, Shuichi, what's wrong now?" Hiro asked as they were having lunch.
"It's Yuki," Shuichi answered.
"And?" Hiro encouraged him.
"I'm not sure. Every night, he wants to have a walk, alone! And he leaves for a whole hour. I think he's cheating on me," Shuichi said sadly.
Hiro frowned. "I don't know. Shuichi, I don't like Yuki-san very much, but, really, I don't think he would do that. If he had a new lover, he would have kicked you out of his flat. Or, at least, he would have left."
"Thank you, Hiro! I feel so much better now!" Shuichi replied sarcastically.
"Come on, Shuichi, you know that he often acts weird. Did you ask him about that? What did he tell you?"
"He said he needed a walk. I asked him if I could come with him, but he said no. He wanted to be alone."
"Well, that sounds like him."
"But what am I going to do?"
"Shuichi, stop worrying about it! Just ask Yuki-san what's wrong and I'm sure you two can solve the problem. It will be all right. Now, stop pouting, you look like it's the end of the world."
----------
On his way home, Shuichi wondered what he was going to say to Yuki. Hiro was probably right. Shuichi couldn't help thinking Yuki had found another lover, but there must be a simple explanation for the man's recent attitude. He had to be supportive towards Yuki so that his lover could confide in him.
Shuichi opened the door of their flat and began looking for Yuki. He found him in his office, typing at his laptop.
"Yuki, Yuki, Yukiii!" he exclaimed as he was lunging at his lover.
"I was writing my novel," Yuki glowered at Shuichi, pretending to be angry.
"Yes, you WERE. But now, you're kissing me," Shuichi commented, and he suited the action to the word.
Yuki revelled in the taste of his lover. And the hunger claimed him. It was the end of the afternoon, so he hadn't drunk blood for about twenty hours and he really needed some. He abandoned Shuichi's mouth as his fangs were pulling out, and started to kiss Shuichi's neck. It was so tempting, the boy looked really delicious. Yuki was on the point of biting him when Shuichi whispered: "Yuki, I love you!"
Then, Yuki realized what he was doing. He repelled Shuichi curtly, took his jacket and left the flat in a hurry. If Shuichi hadn't said these words, which had brought the vampire back to reality, the boy would be dead by now! How could he have attacked Shuichi, his Shuichi? He had truly become a monster! He hated himself for that, and yet, the hunger was still there, demanding blood and keeping him from focusing on anything else.
But Shuichi didn't intend to leave it at that. He too grabbed his coat and followed Yuki as discreetly as he could. It wasn't his habit, but if he really wanted to, he could be discreet.
Yuki was so angry at himself that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings. Besides, he wasn't completely accustomed to his new vampire senses, so he wasn't able to pick Shuichi out in a crowd —except if he could see him, of course. The vampire entered an alley and saw a girl coming in his direction. He approached her and hypnotized her.
Shuichi reached the alley and saw Yuki with a girl he seemed to know well. But Shuichi had never met her. So it was her, Yuki's new lover. It was so painful! However, Shuichi couldn't hate Yuki for that. All he wanted was Yuki's happiness. But then, Shuichi saw Yuki kissing the girl's neck passionately. The sight was unbearable, he only wanted to run away and to scream, but he just couldn't look away. And then, he noticed something was amiss. The girl didn't move, as if she were dead, and Yuki didn't seem to kiss her, but to bite her. Everything looked so much like a scene out of a horror movie. No… It couldn't be! That was impossible! And yet, everything was making sense now. Yuki had become a vampire! Shuichi ran away, completely unnoticed by his thirsty lover.
To be continued.
Thanks for reading this chapter. I hope you liked it. Review, please.
