Dark shadows danced around the room, defying gravity by dancing on the ceiling. Delicately and soundlessly dancing, dancing for an audience that was in slumber. Carefully dancing as to not wake the sleeping form that rested on the double bed in the center of the room. Unfortunately the birds outside weren't as quite soundless as the shadows. Raising their song to greet a new and fresh day. They sang brightly and were as chirpy as normal.

Groaning the figure slowly lost his sleeping composure and tired to open his eyes. Slowly blinking the figure sat up lifting his arms to rub the rest of his tired state away, to be lost in the past until he slept again.

"Damn birds." Grumbled Sho as he swung his legs over the side of his bed and heaved himself up to get ready for the rest of the day. Grabbing some clothes, which were his usual leather pants and tight form-fitting top, he made his journey to the bathroom.

When he got into the family room he smirked when he saw Kei asleep.

Where Kei slept wasn't exactly private, with the few bars as a divider and one wall not there. If the divider weren't there it would have looked like a small extension to the family room. Sho let his eyes drift to Kei's face. The blonde looked beautiful and innocent when he slept, not that he didn't during the day just when he was awake, in Sho's eyes, he looked more sexy and less innocent. Like there was something hidden behind the depths of Kei's eyes. He looked like an angel of some sort, or what people believe what angels to look like.

With his sandy blonde hair spread around him, his brown coloured irises hidden behind the owners' lids, twitching now and then as he dreamt. His pale skin glowing in the dim light.

'Or maybe he just glows naturally.' Thought Sho with a small laugh.

His mouth partially open but not wide enough to show off the vampires pointed canines. No matter what Kei said, in Sho's eyes he is not the monster he says he is. He isn't disgusting or someone who deserves their life taken from them. In Sho's eyes he was an angel. A beautiful fallen angel. Grinning slightly Sho reached for the door handle to the bathroom. Grasping the cool metal he swore he heard Kei murmur something. Glancing back at the sleeping form, Sho saw Kei's head turn from side to side and mumbling something significantly like 'Sho…Sho!' Turning the door handle quickly Sho leapt inside the bathroom shutting the door behind him making a small bang to be heard. Sliding down the door breathing heavily, Sho sat there, with his back to the door. That small bang was enough to wake Kei up, the vampire also breathing heavily.

"Sho?" Kei called out.

The younger mans eyes widened considerably as he heard Kei's gentle and concerned voice calling him. Quickly to avoid an awkward conversation Sho quickly turned the shower on.

Sighing Kei realized Sho probably couldn't hear him due to the running water, indicating he was going to take a shower.

"Hmm… either he heard me and ignoring me or he didn't hear me at all." Kei sighed leaning back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling above him. With no interest with the blank object Kei began to let his mind travel through his thoughts. The new friends Sho, Toshi and he had acquired, Son and Yi-che. The night of fun they had shared as a group of friends, Sho's weird and sudden behavior and the things Sho was mumbling from his nightmare. The last time Sho had a nightmare was when the younger man had been just a teen.

'What did he mean by not leaving with her?' thought the blonde, 'who was he talking about? The only girl we know, or that I know of, is…' and the blank of the mysterious girl was filled in. 'He doesn't want me to leave with Yi-che?" Closing his eyes he let his mind drift shift through everything and he was determined to find an answer, yes because he was that stubborn he doesn't let anything go until he knew the reason.

Stepping into the shower, warm water caressing his flesh, steam rising and filling the small cubicle from the heat. Sighing softly Sho let his eyes close as the warmth enveloped him.

"I know what would make this shower better." Said a voice in the shower occupant's head.

"If Kei was here...bad Sho! Bad bad Sho." Scolding himself for thinking such perverted things and carried on washing himself. Trying to not think about the vampire for more then 5 minutes…if that was possible.

"I know I'll act like normal. Try and not let anything slip and I'll be fine." Thought Sho…now he had the problem of talking to himself….

Pull back the shield between us And I'll kiss you

Drop your defenses

And come into my arms

I'm all for believing
