NOTES:
Anne: We hate stupidface now. Except not really. He's just really, really stupid. And as long as you had fun at prom then I forgive you for missing Taroukins and the beloved Plastic Tree band. XD Yes, I call Ryuutarou 'Taroukins'. So sue me. XD But Toshi's ghost could get in since he can float through things! And Popsicles and Concert on a Hill at my school do not mix. Just ask Ryu. He'll agree. …You don't like any sort of weather, do you? I only like it when it's above 80F or below 30F. Above 80 is good for swimming, below 30 is good for playing hockey on the ice rink. No, no, no. Keep the shirt on but make Sho take it off seductively! And now my mind's in the gutter…
Fujipuri: Aww! Super-slow dial-up speed is not good. I don't know how I lived with it before…and wow. You're traveling all over the place! And yes there's snow in Mallepa. In the chapter where they go to Osaka, there's a littering of snow or something. But yes. For the sake of smut, there is.
Essenity: OH MY GOD YOU'RE BACK! I'd give you presents…but that's impossible over the Internet. XD You have missed a crapload of stuff, so I hope you're all caught up on the chapters. I've been good. I'm quite glad that it's finally summer…but summer's already half over. So…you missed nothing, I guess.
Hoshino Haruka: The dirtiness makes up for the lack of updating fast, okay? Okay. And my car is named Storm. After Gackt's song (which I love) and the X-Man. And Dakishimete is finished. There aren't many changes, really.
Hiroyukishinji: …So that scene killed you twice? XD GOOD! It was meant to do that. It wasn't actually supposed to turn into smut; it was just supposed to be Kei doing something…or something…I don't really remember anymore…
Shin: Yay! It made someone go 'aww!'. That's what I was aiming for the whole time! And the fact that I love snow made it so much fun to write. THAT'S ALWAYS BOTHERED ME, TOO! But I've realized that Kei seems to be the stronger, more dominant one since Sho seems to be much more childish and so it's just natural for him to be in control…? Something like that. Sho will be on top a few times in the sequel, don't worry.
Yvonne: …It cut you off again. XD I don't think you can do the less than sign for some reason. And yeah. You don't get too much snow in Florida. But move up here to Detroit and you'll get lots of it!
Ryu: Are you saying that my fic induces insomnia? Because that's not good for those people on Lunesta…or maybe it is. XD I'm not sure. AND I KEEP FORGETTING TO TELL YOU. I was watching a MST3K last night (it was the Hobgoblins and it was extremely stupid), but this guy was stuck in a fantasy with one of those phone sex lady people and he was driving her somewhere and said, "Do we have time to stop for some Pop Rocks and whip cream?" And I almost lost it.
Puptastic25: Yeah, but I still find stupid ones every once in a while and it annoys me and I'm too lazy to go and reupload it and change it, so I just let it be…
Kodoku Mousou: You're welcome for the lemon. Always glad to provide it for people! You need a common sense brick thrown at you? Go to my math teacher. He actually has one in his desk. xD
Orenji No Taiyou: That's the reasoning for everything in this fic: It's Kei and Sho and they can do whatever the hell they want! XD I would have been laughing, too. Like I was babysitting for this two-year-old girl and she fell backwards and landed on this soft brush and I said, "You landed on your—oh wait…" And then I started laughing.
This chapter is dedicated to Puptastic25. I'm probably going to stop the dedications, though. Except I don't want the rest of you fans to feel bad…so then this last chapter (since it's extra long) is dedicated to all of you as well! Oh, but Ryu still gets his own little chapter in the sequel because it's totally meant for him. xD
Chapter Seventeen: A Holly, Jolly Christmas…and Honeymoon?
"Merry Christmas, love," Sho breathed in Kei's ear. The still half-asleep vampire felt warm lips pressed against his and he couldn't help but kiss back, a hand going to rest on the back of Sho's head. "I love the presents you got me," the vampire whispered, making Kei open his eyes and glare at him. "Joking, joking." He laughed softly and traced a finger over Kei's lips. "But you should have seen the look on your face."
"Maybe my only present to you was last night…" Kei said.
"I'd accept that as a perfect gift…as long as you give it to me again."
"It was a lot of fun," Kei commented. "Luckily we were smart and put our presents under the tree last night. And I snuck out a little after you fell asleep and hung up your stocking—"
"Or cheated on me with Santa!"
"I thought I was Santa!" Kei protested.
"Then you cheated on me with yourself!" Sho exclaimed, but started laughing as soon as the words left his mouth. "That sounded really, really bad."
"It did," Kei agreed. "But let's put some warmer clothes on because I can already tell it's still freezing in here. And then we'll go open up the presents." Sho smiled and got out of bed, pulling Kei with him over to the dresser, standing up in front of the mirror.
"What should I wear?" Sho contemplated. Kei let a hand trail down Sho's chest, undoing several of the buttons of his shirt.
"Anything looks good on you, honey," Kei whispered, planting kisses on the exposed part of Sho's chest.
"I know, but if you keep kissing me, we'll never get to our presents!" Sho whined. Kei pushed himself away from the vampire and rummaged around in the dresser, pulling out a pair of red sweatpants and a long-sleeved black shirt for himself while he handed Sho a black hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
I broke into your house last night
And left a note at
your bedside
Once they both had changed, Kei wrapped his arms around Sho's waist and stared up at the brunette. He smirked wickedly and dragged a finger over the dark mark on Sho's neck that he had left the night before. "You're still mine," he purred, leaning upwards and tracing his tongue over the mark.
"Kei-chan," Sho said in a coaxing voice. "I love when you try to seduce me, but it's not going to work where there are unopened presents in our family room!" Kei sighed and walked over to their closed door, opening it slowly.
"Once this door is completely open, I give you permission to run," he told the excited vampire. "Three…two…one—" And in a flash, Sho was sprinting out the door and to the family room, squeaking in delight at the pile of presents under the tree and an overflowing stocking hanging from the wall. "You are such a seven-year-old!" Kei told him when he finally made it to the family room. Sho was digging through his stocking, but stopped to look up and grin at Kei.
"But Santa got me pocky! And e-ma!" Sho said, waving the packages of candies around. Kei smiled and sat down in front of the couch, watching Sho sort through the candy that he had put in his stocking.
"There's more than just the stocking, honey," Kei said softly, reminding Sho of the presents under the tree.
"RIGHT!" Sho exclaimed, crawling over to the tree and beginning to sort them into separate piles. "Me…me…me…me…you…you…me…me…you…"
"How many are for me exactly?" The blonde asked, moving closer. "They all seem to be for you."
"Oh…here's a ton for you!" Sho managed to pull the rather large pile of presents out from under the tree and place it in front of Kei. "Hmm…I think that's all of them. Shall we take turns?"
"You first," Kei said. "Or else you'll start opening one while I'm opening one of mine." Sho smiled and sat down next to Kei, grabbing one of his presents and ripping the wrapping paper to shreds to reveal a small box. Taking the top off, he found a sterling silver bracelet with a locket on it. He opened the locket to find a picture of Kei on one side and a picture of himself on the other.
"I love it!" Sho said in a loving tone as he put it on his wrist. "It's beautiful…"
"You're welcome," Kei replied as Sho leaned over and kissed him warmly.
"Open one!" Sho commanded, watching excitedly as Kei picked out a box and unwrapped it.
"W-where did you find it?" Kei asked breathlessly as he pulled out the brand new 'Safe Sex Forever' shirt.
"I bought a red t-shirt and drew it on there just by looking at your old one. Which was really hard since yours is fading a lot," Sho told him.
"Thank you so much!"
"Mmm…why don't we just thank each other when all of the presents are opened? Otherwise this could take a long time…" Sho suggested, beginning to open another present as Kei gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"All right," Kei agreed, starting on another present as well. Sho started laughing when he finished opening the last present.
"You're giving me your smut fic that you wrote about us?" He said through his laughter and partial embarrassment.
"…You're giving me a photo shoot of yourself?" Kei asked, gaping at the pictures in his hand. Sho set his present down and crawled over to sit down in front of the stunned vampire.
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me
numb and I'm not sure why
"Keep looking, love," he breathed.
Kei looked at the first picture. It was Sho sitting in their bathtub, which was filled with bubbles and rose petals, a glass of champagne in his hand. The look of pure sex on his face made Kei moan. "Sho-chan," Kei said, flipping through the pictures that continually got more and more graphic and seductive. "G-god…"
"Mmm, you're welcome," Sho purred as Kei stared at the last picture, which was Sho on their bed, completely naked, his waist barely covered up by a pure white sheet. He was "fast asleep", a few rose petals on his chest and the sheet around waist. "I can see these made you…happy…" He brushed his hand over Kei's clothed arousal. Kei sat the pictures down next to him and tackled Sho to the floor, kissing him furiously. Sho slipped his tongue into Kei's mouth and cried out softly when Kei sucked on it.
"Don't tease me with pictures of yourself," he breathed against Sho's lips. Sho simply whimpered. "Now, back to the presents, I assume?" The brunette nodded, and pushed Kei off of him, grabbing another present and beginning to open it…
Nearly an hour later when the vampires were cuddling with each other on the floor of the family room, implying thanks to each other, their front door opened. "Merry Christmas!" A voice exclaimed. They turned to smile warmly at the intruder.
"Merry Christmas, Kurisu," Sho said, mewling when Kei's hand stroked through his hair; automatically, he curled up closer to his lover.
"How did you make it through all the snow?" Kei asked as Kurisu brushed the snow off of her pants.
"I walked through it," she told him blatantly, walking over and sitting down on the couch. She reached down and patted Sho on the head. "You look just like a kitten in Kei's arms." Sho smiled adorably and purred.
"So what are you doing here?" Sho asked.
"Giving you two your Christmas gift!" Kurisu replied with a smile.
"But we didn't get you anything!" Sho said, sitting up in Kei's lap.
"Yes we did," Kei corrected, running a finger down the bridge of Sho's nose. "I sent her a basket of chocolate chip muffins."
"How you know my favorite kind of muffin is still a mystery to me," she said, pulling a small box out of her coat. "Here." Kurisu tried to hand it to Kei, but Sho grabbed it.
"He likes opening presents," Kei whispered to her as Sho ripped the paper off and opened the small box.
"What is it?" he asked, holding up the envelope.
I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out
towards you right there
"It's a reservation to the Delta Chelsea hotel on the nicer side of Mallepa," she explained. "Some of my regular patients give me presents and this year, I thought I should give them to you this year. I usually end up going by myself or maybe a 'boyfriend'…"
"Boyfriend?" Sho said, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Not really. It's usually just a guy that I lead on and end up killing him," Kurisu answered. "But…I really don't want to go this year, and I realized that you guys have never had a honeymoon." The lovers looked at each other.
"Oh my god, you're right," Kei breathed, looking up at her. "I never even thought…"
"Thank you!" Sho said, grinning brightly. He got up and hugged Kurisu. "I've always wanted to go on a honeymoon!"
"Mmm…you are the wife," Kei commented.
"Am not!" Sho protested, letting go of Kurisu (who was laughing at them) and sitting down on the couch next to her.
"When are the reservations for and for how long?" Kei asked, sitting down on Sho's lap; Sho automatically wrapped his arms around Kei's waist.
"Today and for the whole weekend," she answered.
"So we can leave once we pack?" Sho asked excitedly; Kurisu nodded. "I've never been on a vacation before!"
"Mmm…well then…" Kei said suggestively, biting gently at Sho's neck.
"Still oblivious…" Kurisu said with a sigh.
"You have to realize by now that I do it on purpose, Kurisu," Kei told her. "But thank you so much. Muffins can't compare—"
"Muffins are better," she assured him. "Just…have a good time, okay?"
"Okay!" They both said.
"Now, since I can see that it's going to take you guys a while to pack, how about I clean up out here while you guys start packing?" Kurisu offered.
"Deal," Sho said, cradling Kei in his arms and carrying him to their bedroom.
"But you're just going to make me pack everything!" Kei whined loudly as Sho walked down the hall. Kurisu shook her head in amusement and began to pick up the destroyed wrapping paper. Carrying an armful of it over to the kitchen, she tossed it in the garbage can, dragging the can back to the family room to continue cleaning…
Meanwhile, Kei and Sho were trying to decide what they needed to bring on their short trip. "Not too much. We'll be back in three days," Kei said as Sho started throwing things into their suitcase.
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as
oceans and as pure as skies
"So then what do I need?" Sho asked as his lover sorted through the clothes he had just put in the suitcase. Kei pulled out three pairs of leather pants and three t-shirts, one of them being long-sleeved.
"And grab your pajamas, too," Kei told him. "And underwear. And a swimsuit."
"S-swimsuit?" Sho stuttered, pulling out a pair of blue swim trunks.
"There's probably a pool somewhere in there," Kei told him, joining him over at the dresser and pulling out clothes for himself. "Found my bathing suit!" He held up a pair of red swim trunks, placing them on the pile of clothes he had pulled out and carrying it all back to the suitcase. "Do you need anything from the bathroom?"
"Not that I know of. Do you need your makeup?" Sho asked, walking over and setting the rest of his clothes in the suitcase.
"Mmm…I think I'll start to go without it," Kei replied, zipping the suitcase shut. He turned to find Sho smiling at him.
"Good," he whispered, leaning down and kissing him softly. "You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself or your appearance because you'll always be beautiful in my eyes." Kei couldn't help but blush at Sho's words. He pulled Kei into another kiss, not noticing Kurisu watching them from the doorway. Sho slipped his tongue into Kei's mouth, arms wrapping around his waist. Kei moaned and pressed himself against Sho.
"I love you," Kei said when the kiss stopped.
"I love you, too," Sho said back.
"And I love how you two don't care that I watch you make out," Kurisu said, making Kei and Sho glare at her.
"I think we need to start locking the door when Kurisu's over," Sho shot.
"Well, I can always take my present back, you know," she said, waving the envelope in front of her.
"But I want a honeymoon!" Sho whined, putting on a puppy-dog face.
"How could I ever say no to you?" Kurisu asked sweetly. "Come on, I'll give you guys the formal going away thing…"
"You're still making fun of me about that!"
"Oh shut up, Sho," Kei said, grabbing their suitcase. He looked at Kurisu and winked and the pair couldn't help but start laughing.
"Stop!" Sho said, stamping his foot down angrily.
"Mmm, sorry, honey. We'll stop," the blonde replied, placing a soft kiss on Sho's cheek. "Let's go, then."
I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up
with the birds on the t-hut
Sho's mood brightened greatly when he was finally seated inside of their cream-colored convertible (but they had the top up). "How far away is this place?" he asked.
"Not more than a fifteen minute drive…in good weather conditions," Kurisu told him. "A lot of the streets haven't been plowed but the nicer people in Mallepa at least took snow shovels and dug some paths for cars and people to go down."
"Good. Otherwise we'll be stalling a lot," Kei said, starting the car up and turning on the heat.
"I don't think it will take more than forty minutes to get there…"
"Thanks for warning us," Sho said. "Can we leave?"
"You're asking me for permission?" she said, giving Sho a strange look.
"I'm the one driving, Sho-chan," Kei commented, putting the car in drive. "Thank you so much, again, Kurisu!"
"No problem!" she said, waving her hand to disregard the thank you. "Have a good time, you two!"
"We will!" They chorused happily as Kei managed to get the car out onto the road and into two of the paths that had been dug.
"Let's hope this doesn't take too long," Sho said, rolling his window up to keep the heat in. "I'll die of anticipation."
"But you can't die!" Kei told him. "You're a vampire."
"You know something," Sho said, turning to look at Kei. "Can you just shut up and not be right for once?" The older vampire smirked and continued to drive…
A little piece of mind that I know better
That the plain
disgrace of all my letters…
Within a half hour, the vampires made it to the twenty-eight-story hotel and had parked in the underground garage. "This place is huge!" Sho said, staring around wide-eyed as they stood in line to check in at the front desk. "Is it going to be weird that we're checking in at two in the morning?" he asked.
"I have no idea. If they ask why, I'll figure something out," Kei assured his lover. But the hostess hadn't asked any questions and had simply given them their key card and told them that their room was on the seventh floor. They quickly rode the elevator up, eager to see their room.
"I can't wait!" Sho whispered excitedly.
"Sho-kun," Kei said, grabbing Sho's arm as the elevators door opened so that he wouldn't run away. "It's just a room!"
"I know," Sho said, blushing slightly as they started down the hallway. "But I'm still excited…"
"Sweetheart, you can be excited, but there's no need to go running to the room," he said, pulling on Sho's arm to stop him. "We're here." He put the keycard in the slot until a green light came on. "Open it," Kei instructed Sho. The brunette turned the doorknob and opened the door to reveal a moderately sized room lit by several different lamps. There was a balcony they could go out onto and they also had a bathroom with a rather large shower.
"It's amazing!" Sho breathed, walking inside and looking around. Kei followed him inside, setting the suitcase against the wall and glancing at a flyer on top of the TV.
"This says that the pool is on the roof—well, the top floor," Kei called to Sho. "You want to go right now? It's a twenty-four hour pool…"
"Sure!" Sho said, appearing next to Kei, who was pulling out their swimsuits. He handed Sho his and grabbed his own. They changed quickly and headed for the elevator, taking it to the twenty-eighth floor. When the elevator doors opened and they caught their first sight of the rather large, deserted pool, Sho couldn't help but gasp as he walked towards the pool. "It's so…big!" he exclaimed as Kei grabbed their towels. He watched in amazement as Kei (after setting the towels on a table) walked down the steps into the pool and began to swim around.
"Come on, Sho-chan!" he called, grinning at the vampire. Sho made his way over to the edge of the pool and stopped, hesitating. "Something wrong?"
"…I don't know how to swim," Sho said embarrassedly.
"Mmm…well then, I'll just teach you," Kei said matter-of-factly, swimming back over in front of the steps and standing there. "And only because you look absolutely sexy in a bathing suit." Sho blushed at Kei's comment, but said nothing. "I'll teach you exactly like Maori did with me."
"What did she do?" Sho asked cautiously.
After that the floodgates opened up
And I fell in love
with everyone I saw
"She'd get in the water and promise me a piece of candy if I did what she said," he told the vampire. "Now. Get in the water and make it to me and I'll give you a kiss…" Sho smiled and went down the four steps into the rather warm pool water and made it to Kei. The blonde vampire licked his lips and pressed them against Sho's forcefully. "Good," he breathed against Sho's soft lips. "Now…" Swiftly, Kei swam backwards, about halfway to the other end of the pool.
"Swim to you?" Sho asked; Kei nodded. "Do I get a better kiss?"
"Of course," Kei replied with a mischievous smile. "Just try to keep afloat by paddling your arms and legs…" As Sho slowly began to paddle towards him, he added, "It's not very deep, so it's not like you'd drown."
"I can't die anyway," Sho said, struggling for a moment but continuing on easily. In a few more strokes, he had made it to Kei.
"Congratulations," the blonde said, moving forward and pulling Sho into an open mouth kiss. He made a move to wrap his arms around Sho's neck, but realized that they might end up sinking, so he pulled away and smiled. "Getting the hang of it?"
"Mmm, I'm not sure," Sho said, eyes sparkling. "Maybe I need more practice…"
"Want me to pull you around the pool?"
"Sure!"
Kei held Sho's hands tightly and began to swim backwards, pulling them both through the water. He couldn't help but smile as Sho pushed himself closer and closer until they were kissing fervently, tongues entwined and not caring that they were sinking. Only when they were completely submerged underwater did it even register in their minds. Gasping, the pair made it to the surface and to the edge of the pool to catch their breath.
"Let's…not do that again," Kei said, coughing.
"Agreed," Sho replied, smiling gently. "Let's keep swimming, though, okay?"
Please take your time I'm not in any rush
And it's in
everything I ever write
"Whatever you'd like, honey."
The younger vampire grinned before splashing Kei with water and pushing off the wall, laughing hysterically…
A few hours later, after getting showers and putting on their pajamas, Kei beckoned Sho out onto the balcony and the vampire obeyed. Although it was below freezing outside, neither cared since the setting was far too perfect; standing on a balcony lit by hundreds of candles under a star-littered sky was unimaginable, and yet it was happening.
"Let me see your left hand," Kei whispered softly. Sho held out his left hand and wondered what his lover was doing when he pulled off the silver ring. Looking up and staring Sho in the eyes, he turned and threw the ring towards the building across the street.
"What did you do that for?" Sho squeaked, obviously confused and hurt by the action. Contemplating for a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Are you breaking up with me? And if you are…wouldn't you have thrown your ring and not mine?"
"I'm not breaking up with you," Kei answered and before Sho knew it, the shorter vampire was down on one knee. "That wasn't the ring I wanted to give you…I couldn't find the one I wanted until recently and I wanted the mood to be perfect—" He glanced around at the scenery around them, smiling. "—And I think that this is perfect." He looked up at Sho, who was smiling as well.
"Kei-chan…"
"When we first met, my beautiful Sho-chan," Kei began, staring up at Sho still, beaming while never breaking eye contact. "I never thought that we would become so close, I never thought I would be the one raising you, I never thought…" He smiled warmly. "That I would be the one to fall in love with you. You see, when we met, I was suicidal; you were just a useless mortal that I could kill just to live. But the look you gave me and that sparkle in your eyes told me that something was different about you. When you were quickly growing up, I never realized that I had become so dependent on you, that you had become a part of me, that I had grown to love you, that I needed you to survive. It was almost as though you were my new life source and I didn't need blood anymore.
"When you entered your twenties and thirties, only then did I realize all of those things. But I was afraid that you would turn away from me and I didn't want to lose you. I was so selfish and I'm sorry for that, but…you were so important to me. I couldn't go on another day if I didn't see your smile or hear you laugh or be in your presence or hear your voice. I still can't…
"My darling Sho-chan…" He pulled out a black velvet box from his pocket and held it in one hand, not opening it yet. "I know I'm so slow, but I'm trying and I'm still dying to know…" Slowly, he opened the box, exposing a diamond ring. "Say you won't leave for the rest of my life." He took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto Sho's ring finger on the vampire's quivering, outstretched hand. "I can't have you leave for the rest of my life…please say you won't leave for the rest of my life…"
And then Sho broke down crying.
"Sho," Kei whispered, standing up and pulling Sho into his arms, letting Sho cry into his shoulder. "I'm here for you. Please don't walk away and please tell me you'll stay, honey." The sobbing vampire looked up at Kei and nodded furiously, unable to say anything because of the emotions overpowering him at the moment. After several minutes, Sho pulled away and stared into Kei's eyes before kissing him warmly and passionately, their mouths melting together. "Sho-chan," Kei whispered when the kiss stopped. "Will you be my wife?" Sho laughed softly.
"Yes," Sho managed to whisper, new tears forming in his cerulean eyes. "Of course."
"Don't cry!" Kei said, wiping away a few tears from Sho's cheek.
"It's hard not to," Sho said, repeating what Kei had told him before. "I love you, Kei."
"I love you too, Sho. Come on. Let's go back inside." With gentle touches, the shorter vampire coaxed his lover back inside of their suite and into their bed. He pulled the covers over them and began to caress Sho's body with his hands. "My beautiful Sho-chan…" he murmured, lacing kisses along Sho's neck as his hands unbuttoned Sho's shirt and pulled it off of his shoulders. "Please," he breathed against Sho's lips. "Let me make love to you." He let his hands caress Sho's waist in a worshipping manner. "Just like you did to me…" When Sho didn't respond, he looked up at his lover and couldn't help but laugh gently.
Sho had fallen asleep.
"Sho-chan," Kei said coaxingly, placing a hand on Sho's cheek; Sho simply mumbled in his sleep. "Sho!" He said rather loudly. Sho's eyes opened drunkenly.
"Mmm…what, Kei-chan?" Sho asked, his voice thick with sleep.
"Never mind, honey," he replied. "I just didn't think you'd be asleep already."
"Swimming takes a lot out of me, I guess. And…that last scene…was just…too overpowering with emotions and whatnot…"
It's not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by
life so thanks a lot
"Then curl up in my arms and sleep," Kei offered, pulling Sho's warm body close. He felt Sho take a deep intake of breath.
"I've always loved your smell," he said, words slurred together.
"I've always loved you," Kei whispered.
"Love you, too."
With those few words, the pair slept peacefully through the night…
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Sho said, jumping onto the bed the next morning to wake the slumbering vampire.
"S-Sho!" Kei said, sitting upright suddenly. "Can't you wake me up like a normal person?"
"Hmm…nope!" Sho replied, tackling Kei to the bed and lacing kisses down his face and neck. "Come on! Get up! It's already nine at night!"
"How long have you been up?" Kei asked as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, rubbing his eyes furiously to wake himself up more.
"Forty five minutes or so," Sho told him, still bouncing on the bed like an excited seven-year-old. "But I took another shower because I had time to waste. So come on, Kei-chan! I want to see the cafeteria and the outdoors and just wander around!"
"Calm down!" Kei said loudly, turning around and placing his hands on Sho's shoulders, stopping his bouncing.
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this
once and follow me
"I'm sorry," he said, looking away but still smiling. "I'm just…excited because I've never been on a vacation before…let alone a honeymoon."
"It's all right, just give me a few minutes to regain consciousness," the blonde vampire said, shaking his head…
Ten minutes later, Kei and Sho stepped out of the elevator to find a busload of people that had been dropped off and were trying to check in, making the lobby extremely crowded. "How are we going to get through this crowd?" Kei asked as they entered the lobby, eyeing the newly arrived guests. He reached out and held Sho's hand, squeezing it gently.
"Mmm…we're in public, Kei-chan," Sho purred mockingly, looking down at the shorter vampire. Kei smiled, his gaze lingering on a group of women in their twenties who had just finished checking in, staring longingly at Sho and casting him glares.
Placing a hand on Sho's cheek, Kei leaned upwards, whispering, "This is how much I care," and pulled his lover into a warm kiss. He heard Sho moan softly and the group of women gasp angrily. "Did you hear that?" he breathed against Sho's lips as Sho's arms wrapped around him. "You've got a group of girls with their eyes on you…" He placed a single kiss on the edge of Sho's mouth. "Too bad they don't have a chance."
"But they don't know that, do they?" Sho whispered back, smirking as he let his tongue dart out and lick Kei's ear. "Let's have a little fun…I'm sure they'll be following us around." Kei whimpered and pulled away, entwining his fingers with Sho's and leading him towards the food court…
"Ugh!"
"That's so disgusting!"
"How can such a sexy guy be with sort trash like that?" One of the women whispered in protest as Sho licked Kei's ear.
"Do you think they're lovers?"
"Most likely…"
As soon as Kei and Sho left, a woman said, "Might as well follow them."
With that, they were off…
"Are they following us?" Sho asked quietly as Kei paid for ice cream cone. He watched the vampire glance behind him and nod.
"Yep," he replied. "Come on. We'll eat outside…"
Kei led them into the outdoor portion of the cafeteria. They sat down at a table underneath one of the many trees with Christmas lights in them. Out of the corner of their eyes, they watched the group of women sit down at a nearby table.
"Let's give them a show," Kei whispered, leaning forward and licking the ice cream slowly. Sho couldn't help but chuckle wickedly and follow suit. After a few minutes, Sho dug out a bit of the ice cream on his finger and held it out for Kei to lick off. The blonde vampire smiled and slipped the slick finger into his mouth, sucking hard and getting Sho to moan, eyes closing in ecstasy. He let Sho's finger slip out of his mouth and he licked his lips. "Yummy," he commented
"Yummy?" Sho repeated, laughing. "You haven't said yummy since I was little!"
"Maybe I should start using it again, then," Kei replied, taking a bite out of the waffle cone.
"And make me feel like I'm two years old all the time?" he retorted, breaking off a large piece of the cone.
"Mmm…maybe."
The vampires ate the rest of the cone in silence, hearing small gasps of surprise and anger from the group of women. Once they had finished the ice cream, Sho cupped Kei's face in his hands and smiled warmly.
I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up
with the birds on the t-hut
"I love you so much, Kei-chan," he said sincerely. The women sighed dreamily at his words. Kei blushed, not having heard that tone in Sho's voice for some time, and wrapped his arms around Sho's neck.
"I love you, too," Kei replied. "That's why I gave you my great-great grandmother's wedding ring." Sho looked at the diamond ring on his hand.
"You found it in the chest, didn't you?" Sho breathed; Kei nodded.
"It's yellow diamond and…extremely expensive," he told his lover. "But it's nowhere as valuable as something I've already given you."
"What, love?" he asked, pulling Kei onto his lap.
"My heart and soul," Kei said, earning breathy sighs from the group of women. "Let me prove to you how much I love you, my Sho-chan…" He began to plant kisses all over Sho's face, letting a hand trail down to Sho's pants, unbuttoning the button and slowly pulling the zipper down until he felt Sho's hand on top of his, stopping him.
"Should we continue somewhere else?" Sho asked as Kei nodded in agreement, zipping Sho's pants back up. "I'd rather not have people—" He shot a glare over at the group of women, who looked taken aback. "—watching us as we make love over and over…and over…" He leaned forward and continued to breathe on Kei's lips, "And over and over again." The vampire growled and pushed Sho into a sensual kiss, not caring that he was slowly losing control of his mind.
"Hotel bed, now," he managed to say, pulling Sho to his feet.
"Yes sir!" Sho said enthusiastically as he was nearly dragged to the elevator for not walking fast enough. Once the elevator doors closed, Kei pinned him against the wall, legs at an angle, and straddled him.
"Let me make love to you," Kei said, hands running down Sho's chest.
"Anything you want, love," Sho replied breathlessly.
"Mmm…look at us in the mirror wall, Sho-chan," he whispered. Sho turned his head and couldn't help but smile at the image he saw. Kei began thrusting his waist against Sho's and the brunette automatically caught on to the rhythm, gasping in pleasure at the friction…and the reflection he was watching. "It's perfect…our rhythm is perfect…"
"We're perfect," Sho corrected, not daring to take his eyes off of the sight he was seeing. "I don't know if I can wait until we get back to the room for you to make love to me."
"There is an emergency button there that will stop the elevator," Kei whispered, smiling devilishly.
"Oh no…I just meant that I'll just have to—" Sho began to say, but a loud cough from the open elevator doors (which they hadn't noticed were open) made him stop. The lovers smiled innocently at the businessman who was waiting to board the elevator and let him step inside before they stepped out and headed to their room. "Well, at least I got his wallet!" He held up the brown leather wallet and looked inside. "Good amount…"
"Stop fawning over the wallet and get inside the room, Sho," Kei said, pulling the vampire inside and forcing him to lie down on the bed quickly.
"Calm down, Kei-chan…we have two more days here…and a do not disturb sign to put on the door," Sho said as Kei climbed on top of him. He reached up and pulled Kei's shirt off, tossing it onto the floor. "So go put the sign up and get back here so we can see how many times we can make love without passing out."
"You'll be the one passing out, honey," Kei told him as he put the sign on the door.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really."
"And why is that?" Sho asked. Nearly a moment later, Kei pounced on top of him and had him pinned to the bed.
"Because I'm going to blow your mind," he growled.
"Or you'll blow—" Sho began, but was cut off by Kei's tongue. "Don't make me wait any longer," he whispered. "Please, Kei-chan. Make love to me…"
"How can I say no to you?" Kei whispered back as he began to undress Sho, knowing that this would be a vacation they would always remember…
A little piece of mind that I know better
That the plain
disgrace of all my letters…
Dakishimete is finished being edited and already reuploaded. There aren't very many changes, just fixing some errors and other stuff…
Wow. Another fic gone by. I can't believe it! I'm still debating how many sequels I want to do. I'd love to just keep going, but I'll run out of ideas…Anyway. I know this chapter was random, but they do deserve a honeymoon…and Anne gave me the idea for the whole swimming thing and I couldn't not write it! And the Delta Chelsea is an actual hotel almost exactly like this in Toronto, Canada. It's where I stayed a few weeks ago.
Lyrics are Spitting Games by Snow Patrol. I'm in love with Snow Patrol. They're lyrics are extremely true…plus, they're on Grey's Anatomy a lot and I love that show.
I found a review of Moon Child at an off-site and started laughing when I read it: "In short, Gackt and Hyde work a hell of a lot harder than Justin Timberlake probably would under the same circumstances, and there's no way that Justin would go along with the homoerotic subtext that comes straight from the racy boy-on-boy "yaoi" comics so popular with Japanese girls. When Sho and Kei are parked in a cute white convertible by the beach on a moonlit night sharing their hopes and dreams, Moon Child looks a lot more like a love story than a shoot-'em-up thriller." …But isn't it? xD
Well, I'm glad that you guys stuck with me through this fic. I've got the sequel already in the works and two more sequels, possibly three, planned out in my mind, as well as a completely different Moon Child fic that I won't start posting until I have a lot of the chapters done.
I'm hoping to post the first chapter of the sequel within the next few weeks…at least before I head off to Gettysburg for the first weekend of August.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this fic (as I smell something burning in my kitchen…o.O) and be glad that I didn't kill anyone or torture them too much…there's much more writing and stories coming soon, you'll see!
Love (as always),
Tixxana
