Unexpected Business

By Freedom Aozu

Chapter 3

Fuji finished up with a flourish of his name on some paperwork Tezuka had placed in front of him. A week after having told his assistant what he was, nothing had happened. Tezuka still treated him the same, and aside from raising his eyebrow every time he grabbed a liquid meal, he was still comfortable around him. Pushing the intercom, he smiled slightly. "Tezuka, those papers are finished."

A minute or so had passed before Tezuka came in. "Alright, I'll have those faxed and mailed by the end of the-" He was caught off by a loud bump and he sighed tiredly. "Not again..."

Fuji couldn't help but snicker softly. "Are they at it again?" he asked, slightly amused.

"Yes. I swear, I don't know how much more of this I can take..." Tezuka said with a scowl.

He smiled casually. "How about you come with me to the club. I was going to get away from the sounds myself. I hear a heck of a lot more than you do."

"Ah yes, the enhanced hearing part of being a vampire," Tezuka said with a chuckle. "Is there anything else I need to know about you Fuji?"

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes seemingly closed. "Like what, Tezuka?"

"Well... like what your preference is perhaps. I don't believe you've ever told me."

Fuji, never one to want to tell anyone anything straight out, looked out toward the window. "Preference for what?"

"As in... do you like women... or men?" Tezuka said, almost a bit uncomfortably. He hated feeling like he was prying into something he shouldn't. "I mean... if you don't mind me asking that is..."

Fuji shook his head, a small laugh on his lips. "I like both... although women have become more tiring of late."

"Yes... they do get a bit tiresome..." Tezuka said, before coughing. "I... better get these papers finished before we head out to the club..." Turning, Tezuka walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.

Fuji's eyebrow raised. He must have offended his assistant. He hadn't meant to. Yet tonight, he really needed to feed. Mostly, he had taken to small sips, but he knew, by Eiji's worried glances, that he hadn't had enough. He headed to his room and pulled on tight black leather pants and tight black tank top. He was holding a black leather cloak coat when Tezuka came back into the office. "You don't have to come with, Tezuka. I'm certain I've taken enough of your time."

Tezuka blinked, and Fuji wasn't sure, but he was almost certain he saw a flash of hurt in his eyes. "I don't have to come, I know. But I want to... if that's alright," he said softly.

He nodded almost instantly. "Of course you can. I don't mind the company at all. I just... you seemed... not to like my words earlier. I'm sorry if my liking men bothers you."

"It doesn't bother me," Tezuka said, his cheeks turning rosy slightly. "because... I like them too... I'm gay to be more precise."

Fuji blinked and tilted his head. "Really? I never would have guessed. You looked like you could have anyone you wanted. I assumed women were more your thing, as disgusted with Oishi and Eiji's antics have been making you."

"I'm only disgusted because I'm not the type to want to hear other's private moments," Tezuka said tightly. "It should be just that, private."

He nodded at those words. "How true that is."

Tezuka looked at Fuji for a moment before smiling slightly. "You know... we seem to agree on a lot..."

"I'm old, Tezuka. My ideals, as Eiji likes to tell me, are ancient."

"I don't think they are, because I believe in them too," Tezuka said, before holding out Fuji's coat to him. "We should get going, since the sun just set."

Fuji nodded. "I'll be a little longer with someone tonight. Small sips aren't cutting it," he murmured as he allowed Tezuka to help pull on his coat and then lead him downstairs.

Tezuka bit his lip. He wanted to tell the other that HE wouldn't mind being fed off... but wasn't sure what Fuji would say to that.

Fuji caught the action and paused at the elevator door. "What's the matter? You can tell me anything, you know."

"I just... wonder if you enjoy biting strangers..." Tezuka said softly, looking into the other's cold eyes.

Fuji shook his head. "I enjoy being with someone I know... but... I don't know too many people."

Tezuka swallowed, looking away and out the window, watching the lights slowly turn on and lighting the city. "You could... with me, you know..."

He paused, looking at him. "You... would ... let me... bite you?"

Tezuka nodded. "Hai. I've thought about it since Oishi told me about how Kikumaru-san bit him. It takes a lot of trust to allow someone to do that, and after thinking about it, I realized... that I do trust you... that much..."

Fuji looked at him for a moment before smiling softly. "I thank you for that, Tezuka." That said, he held open his arms. "Come here. I think I got dressed up for nothing."

Taking a deep breath, Tezuka walked over to the older man. "Forgive me if I'm a little nervous..."

He smiled, pulling him into his arms. "It's ok. I would never force you."

"You're not forcing me to do anything," Tezuka said softly, looking into the other's eyes. How Oishi could find them frightening... They were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen...

Fuji lightly kissed his lips, before moving down to caress his neck with his lips. He teased him slowly, teasing softly and gently.

Tezuka's eyes fluttered closed, his breathing slowing down, deepening. His nervousness slowly went away, and was replaced with something else

Desire. Need.

Fuji's lips trailed over his neck, kissing it gently, even as he nipped and snuggled the pulse point at his neck. He didn't just go in for the bite. He wanted to enjoy this moment. "Kunimitsu... are you enjoying yourself?"

Tezuka shivered. Hearing his name pass the vampire's lips... was a orgasm in itself. "Yes... I am..." he whispered.

Fuji smiled and let his teeth elongate, before running them along his neck, teasing him with a tantalizing glimpse of what he had planned. "Good..."

Tezuka's knees buckled and he barely caught himself from falling, his hands gripping Fuji's arms in a effort to hold him up. "G-God..." he gasped softly. He was slowly starting to know what Oishi had told him about...

Fuji grinned. "If you think this is what Oishi feels when Eiji bites him... ask Eiji if my bites are merely that... or something more," he whispered, teasing over the pulse point with his teeth once more.

This time Tezuka let out a low groan, his head slowly falling back. "Syusuke..." he panted. "This feels so..."

"I hope good," he whispered, teasing him with his voice, wanting to make him so turned on he would cry out in pleasure before he bit him.

"More than good..." Tezuka let out another moan, this time louder. "Syusuke..." He pressed closer to him, his erection more noticeable now.

Fuji groaned softly at the feeling of his erection against him. "Very much so, it would seem," he murmured. "I would rather ravish this young, lithe body of yours than bite into this glorious neck of yours," he told him, trying to draw his attention away from his teeth pressing against his neck, but not breaking through.

"Mmm... I won't complain about having both done to me..." Tezuka murmured, his fingers tangling into Fuji's hair.

Fuji pulled back slightly, looking at him in surprise. "I thought you liked these kinds of things in private?" he asked, a teasing note to his voice. He also brought to light that they were standing at the elevator.

Tezuka blinked hazily, realizing where they were as well. "Then we better move to the bedroom," he said, leaning over and nipping on Fuji's lower lip. "Then we better move to a bedroom."

Fuji groaned. This was something he hadn't done in centuries. No one had ever fueled his bodies need for both sexual and liquid satisfaction. Yet he looked at him and his body instantly tightened in need. Yet... he couldn't stop himself from being the old fashioned man he was. He wanted more than just sex.

"Kunimitsu, are you certain about this. I don't have casual jaunts..."

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure, and don't worry, I don't have casual jaunts either." Tezuka reached up and caresses Fuji's cheek. "I want you... very much..."

Fuji's whole body shuddered at that touch. It was so gentle... so light. "Kunimitsu... " he said, his ice blue eyes flashing hot fire. "I am not like men of this time. I will fall in love... easily..."

"I already have."

He pulled back at that, his eyes moving to meet his.

Tezuka looked back into the ice blue eyes, his own not wavering. He knew it was too soon to be saying that, but it was the truth. He had fallen in love with him, and even though it scared him, because Fuji was a vampire and he wouldn't age, and Tezuka would, he wanted to spend his life with the other, and wouldn't regret it for a moment.

"Would you... do something for me?"

"Anything," Tezuka said without hesitation.

"Wait till the next new moon, before I drink from you. I... have something I want to ask you, and I want you to be certain I'm what you want."

Tezuka was confused, but nodded. "Alright. Until then..."

"Come back to my office. I'll tell you why I asked."

Tezuka followed the other, curious about why Fuji had stopped what they were doing to do this. "Syusuke...? What do you want to ask me?"

"You are human, correct?" he asked, pretty much stating the obvious.

Tezuka nodded, confused. "Hai..."

Fuji, once they were in his private rooms, which were sound proof, he turned to Tezuka. "How strongly do you care for me?" he asked, being straightforward."

"Very strongly," Tezuka said, starting to get worried. "Syusuke, what is this about?"

"I could never bring myself to create another vampire. I destroyed Eiji's life with that one decision. Instead, I would make you a servant. Someone who is tied to me and me alone. You will not age, or have fear of illness. And sunlight will still be yours. I... I would offer this to you, Kunimitsu. I could not bear to lose you if I were to become one with you."

Tezuka stood, stunned. A servant... and he would be able to stay with Fuji always... "What would you have to do to do this?" he asked.

"I would have to take your blood for the first time by the light of the new moon. I then must give you a little of my own, so that we will become bonded."

Tezuka stood there, thinking. If he did this, he would never grow old, never die, and this frightened him a little. But... he would get to stay with Fuji. He knew his feelings for the vampire were strong, and he wanted to be with him, but could he do this?

"When is the next new moon?"

"Three days from now."

"I'll give you my answer then, alright?" Tezuka said softly, reaching up and brushing his cheek gently with his fingertips.

Fuji couldn't help it. His eyes closed and he leaned into the touch. "That's fine. Take all the time you need. There is always a new moon once a month. It's not like you'd miss your chance if you need more time."

"Three days is all I need." Tezuka smiled softly. "Now, since you're not feeding off me tonight, we best find someone else for you…"

He laughed softly, pulling Tezuka up against his body, flesh against flesh. His skin was slightly chilled from lack of feeding. "Actually, if you could call Eiji... I'm certain he could help me sustain until you decide," he murmured, leaning down to nuzzle Tezuka's throat.

Tezuka smiled softly before a frown appeared on his face. "Syusuke... when was that movie that Oishi and Kikumaru-san saw?"

"About two weeks ago. But I wouldn't worry about anything. Eiji believes that giving Oishi any of his blood would kill him, so he won't try such an act."

'Why does he think that?"

"He's too much of an innocent. He would try to turn everyone he came across when things got terrible for them. I will tell him the truth when the time is right. But that isn't tonight."

Tezuka nodded. "It's just that... well, Eiji isn't able to make Oishi a servant now, since he's already bitten him, correct?"

"Eiji couldn't do that in any case. He isn't old enough to sustain a servant. But I could sustain two... and link Oishi's need for a connection to Eiji."

"I see..." That sounded reasonable. Tezuka was about to say he would go get Eiji before he heard another loud bump. "AGAIN!"

Fuji's eyes narrowed slightly before a sadistic smirk crossed his lips. "Wanna see how fast they'll stop?"

Tezuka blinked, for the first time worried about the look on Fuji's face. "What are you going to do?"

He laughed softly. "You'll see." That said, he turned toward the direction he knew Eiji's room was. "Eiji, I need you, now!" Fuji called, in a low almost melodic voice. Yet there was a slight tremor of pain in his voice. It had been pitched that only someone in their room should have heard it, but Fuji knew that the one he created would here him as clear as crystal.

Almost instantly, Eiji came running in, wearing a disheveled cowgirl outfit, complete with a hat. Oishi quickly followed him in the room. "Nya! Fuji, what's going on!" Eiji cried, looking around.

Tezuka blushed at the way Eiji was dressed and looked away.

Fuji looked back at Tezuka, a gleam in his pale blue eyes.

Oishi was slightly out of breath. He had never expected his lover to just rush out during the middle of love making. He had been able to pull on his pants, but not anything else. "What's wrong?"

Fuji laughed softly. "I'm sorry Eiji. I didn't mean to disturb you. But... I am in need of your help."

"What is it Fuji?" Eiji asked, worry still in his voice.

"I'm afraid I'm unable to get up the urge to bother the humans, but I am pale... and my skin is cool. I need something only you can provide."

Eiji nodded, walking over to his creator. "Alright. I'm ready when you are," he said.

He cast a glance at his created before looking toward Oishi. "Are you all right with this?" he asked.

Oishi swallowed and looked at Tezuka. While he loved it when Eiji bit him... he was uncertain what he would feel at seeing the older vampire biting Eiji. "It's Eiji's decision."

"You need some blood inside you Fuji, and since I eat more than enough..." Eiji tilted his neck and looked at Oishi and smiled. "I'll be alright. I think you'll like the effect Syuchiroh..."

Tezuka frowned slightly. What did the young vampire mean by that?

Fuji raised an eyebrow at that. "I do not need to become a perv like you two, Eiji," he commented, taking the younger ones arm and raising it to his lips. "Just leave those feelings out of this."

Eiji made a face. "You're no fun," he said, pouting.

Fuji stared full on at him then. "I aim to make Tezuka my servant, Eiji. If he accepts that is. Thus, I don't need un-necessary thoughts trapped in my mind."

Eiji blinked in surprise. Fuji was going to take on a servant? Even HE wasn't strong enough to do that yet.

"In fact, I want you to offer that to Oishi as well. I'll handle that, but he will be connected to you," he said, before leaning over his wrist and biting into the vein there.

Eiji didn't even flinch at the bite, he was use to it. "Make Syuchiroh a servant too?" He grinned and looked at Oishi. "Hear that? If you become a servant, than we can stay together forever!"

Oishi blinked at those words, finding it strangely erotic to see someone sucking on Eiji's wrist. "What does being a servant mean?" he asked, trying not to let himself get carried away.

Fuji closed his eyes, the coppery taste spiced with sexual desire. It was almost enough to make him pull away and take Tezuka, right then and there, but he restrained. His grip tightened, trying to let his fledgling know he was putting more into it than he needed.

Eiji flinched and quickly fought to keep his emotions at bay. "Gomen, fuji…"

He gave him a soft look with his eyes, his hold instantly becoming gentle. He drank till his skin seemed to shine slightly with health and was once more warm to the touch. He glanced to Tezuka, wondering what he thought of all this.

Tezuka watched in awe of the to gorgeous men. It was strange, to watch Fuji drink from Eiji's wrist, but also... erotic... in a way...

Fuji stopped, pulling back from the wrist. He hadn't taken a lot, and knew Oishi had yet to give to Eiji this night. Thus, all would be replaceable. Lapping at the wound, they healed almost instantly, before the human's eyes.

Oishi swallowed, this time trying to tamp down his desire. Fuji's eyes may scare him, but the man was down right deadly in his sensuality when he wanted it. "Um... what does being a servant mean, Eiji?" he asked, once more

"It's someone who's tied to me and me alone," Eiji said, looking at his lover with a smile. "You wouldn't age or get sick, and you would still be able to go into the sunlight because you're not a vampire."

Oishi smiled. "Then sign me up. Anything that means I can remain by your side, it worth it. Even if I have to say good bye to my family."

Fuji saw the slight sadness there and smiled sadly. "You could still see them. You would just have to be careful. Eiji or I would have to be with you, so they wouldn't realize you hadn't aged. But, I see no reason why family should be tossed aside to a servant. Most vampire think taking the time for servants to be with family is a waste. I see it as a blessing."

Oishi looked at Fuji, for the first time, no fear or urge to run filling him as he met sad ice blue eyes. "See, all the more reason. I love Eiji, Fuji-san. I would do anything to remain by his side and make him happy."

Eiji felt his eyes fill with tears. "Syuichiroh..." he whispered, before running over to him and jumping in his arms, kissing him hungrily. "I love you too... I love you so much..." he whispered.

Fuji caught a glimpse of ass as the skirt flew up at Eiji's actions and while he was happy for the two, he didn't need the sight. "Oishi-san, please take him back to your room... and keep it down."

Oishi smiled at his lover and kissed him back, before catching Fuji's pained look and smiling. It was obvious the other vampire was a lot older than Eiji at that moment. "Yes sir. Good night, both of you," he said, before carrying his lover out and back to their room.

"They seemed happy with the idea," Tezuka said with a smile.

"I don't think I need the three days, Syusuke. My answer is yes."

Fuji nodded, one hand having come up to cover his eyes when Eiji and Oishi had left. Yet he looked up almost instantly and met Tezuka's gaze at those words. "You are certain about this?" he asked, his expression serious, yet hopeful.

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure." Stepping closer, Tezuka cupped Fuji's face again. "Fuji Syusuke, I love you, and I want to be with you... forever."

His breath stilled at those words. In fact, he seemed to have become completely still all over. He looked at him before leaning in to kiss him softly. "I love you Tezuka Kunimitsu. I want you forever by my side."

Tezuka closed the distance and kissed him softly, his arms wrapping around his waist.

Fuji held him close, returning the soft brush of lips against his own. "I think I may die," he whispered, holding him tightly.

Tezuka laughed softly. "I hope not. We have the rest of our lives to spend together. Do you really want to miss out on that?"

He laughed at that as well, shaking his head. "No, but waiting three days to have you... will be torture."

"Until then, lets go out and see a movie or go to a club, because I don't think they're going to be able to be quiet tonight," Tezuka said as he heard a louder bump than before.

Fuji rolled his eyes. "This room is supposed to be sound proof," he grumbled.

"We can talk to some people about that tomorrow," Tezuka said with a smile as he wrapped a arm around Fuji's waist as they exited the room.

Fuji grinned, allowing his new love to lead him from the place and down to where he had a number of cars to chose from. "So, what is your preference for tonight?"

"Anything that will get us away from THAT as fast as possible."

He chuckled and brought Tezuka's hand up to his lips, kissing it softly. "What kind of food do you like?"

Tezuka smiled again. "Anything, as long as I get to be with you while I eat it."

"What, I can't eat it with you?" he asked, looking hurt, even though there was a gleam in his eyes.

Tezuka laughed and pulled the other close. He couldn't remember being this happy in a long time. "I love you Syusuke."

"I love you too, Kunimitsu. Now let's go get us some food. I find listening to them gives me quite an appetite," he murmured, dragging his love off to some quiet restaurant where they could rant about Eiji and Oishi in peace.
