Chasing After Him In The Moonlight
Author's Note: I'm on a roll but don't expect me to write like this next week. Damn, I have a lot of time on my hands right now. The RATING has changed to M. I realized that I couldn't write a vampire story without Smex… Bewaaare. Don't worry it's not this chapter. I promise I'll warn you!
XD P.S. It was Duo at the end. Sorry, I didn't realize that it wasn't clear.
Thank you to everyone who commented... it's really helping, and if you're a writer you know, it really helps when people are sooooo supportive. I loves you all! WAIT! I'm sorry, this chapter's kinda boring. Working on an eventful Chapter 4 though.
Disclaimer: Don't own it, so pssssh. Wish I did but I don't. No money, no use suing. :D
Chapter 3: Long Day of Nothing
It was completely pitch dark. Was it night? However, the sounds of alarm clocks blaring, people rustling, car running, and buses stopping suggested otherwise. My head pounded. I shut my eyes tighter and dug deeper into the blankets trying to hide from the sound. Taking a deep breath in, I realized that this was not my own bed. The soft satin material that surrounded my body was pleasant and inviting where mine were rough and old.
Slowly pushing the covers off of my head, I scanned the room taking in the apartment in which I seemed to appear at. The first thing I noticed was that the flowing curtains were drawn tight letting no amount of sunlight in. The walls were painted over with thick black paint. In fact, the only light was off underneath the closed bathroom door. The loud pitter-patter of the water hitting the tub was no help to my headache either.
A lump under the dark colored blankets shifted. "What the hell." My leg twitched. Hair brushed across my foot and leaned in closer. Biting my lip, I debated on whether or not I should flip it open to see who was hiding. "Wait, if there was one person in the shower, then there's another person here... Damn, Heero, how many people did you sleep with?" I lifted the covers slightly and made sure my pants were still on. "Oh thank g-bejeezus! My clothes!" I stared down wide eyed at my baby blue boxers with pink hearts. My face felt flushed and there was a faint ringing in my ears. I slowly lift the covers to see who was underneath...
"Well, good morning Sleeping Beauty. You've finally woke up," asked the familiar voice of Duo from behind the door. I dropped the blanket so suddenly that somebody fell off on the other side of the bed. I gasped as the other let out a startled noise. A furry head popped out from beside the bed with ears so small and eyes surprised. I laughed. The disgruntled pup let out a scowl and tried to climb back into bed. But, to my mistake, he was not a puppy at all. Once he found himself around the bed obstacle, my eyes widened as I discovered it's huge furry body.
"Elizabeth's a mutt, mostly chow chow." His hair, still wet, stuck to his back and trailed along his shoulders. Several strands broke away down the front, down his glistening chest. My heartbeat loudly in my mind as my eyes traced the longest hairs against his abdomen. They stayed lingering where the towel was wrapped loosely around his hips. "Like what you see, Heero?" I bit my bottom lip and tore my eyes away, embarrassed. "All part of the package, baby." A smile broke out of his face.
"I-I uhm... ," I paused. I did not know what to say. I bowed my head and stroked the little bear lookalike's golden coat. I heard a sigh. Was it disappointment? Out of the corner of my eye, the pale man strolled over puling off his towel before entering under the blankets. My heart skipped a beat and heat rose to my cheeks. Elizabeth scooted closer to me, making room for her master. Her warm body pressed against mine.
"I'm going to sleep now..." Duo trailed off into a light snore. I yawned as I lie back down stiffly trying to recall the events last night. He watched the man next to him dance and fell in love or lust with him all over again as he did every night. It snowed. A cab pulled up. Inside was Duo. I could feel myself flush with bashfulness. Flashes of the cab ride were imprinted into his brain. Closing my eyes, I remembered passing out.
Sniffling another yawn, I knew for a few more hours Duo would not awake. Vampires tend to sleep through the daylight hours and stay up all night. That must mean that I ruined the sleeping man's night. Disappointed in myself, I forced myself out of bed and found my clothes washed and neatly folded on a nearby chair. I smiled to myself. Slipping on my black jeans then my dark dress shirt, I made my way to the door. Did I want to come back? Well, that was an easy question. Yes.
Grabbing my jacket, I blew a secret kiss to him then made my way outside. A cold gust of wind clashed against my unprotected face. I squinted. The nearest coffee place was only a few minutes of walking down the street. My head still pounded from all that drinking last night but apparently, I found out that I cannot hold that much liquor. I smacked myself mentally before strolling down 9th Avenue in search of caffeine.
Arriving at Starbucks, I pulled the door open and there heat drew me in. The place carried a light air of college students with futures ahead. They chattered their life away like the never ending traffic. I smiled at the pretty cashier and ordered two of my regulars, in case Duo wanted one. Her cheeks were tinted rosy as were her lips. As she turned, a glimpse of her pulsing neck. Biting my lip, I shook my head and cursed my lust for blood. Handing me the two cups, she blushed underneath her long chocolate bangs. I seemed to have that effect on the college girls here.
Taking care in not spilling the coffee or waking up Duo, I entered back in the apartment. Carefully, I tip toed into the bedroom. The sleeping god was sprawled in an awkward position, right leg thrown across his chow chow. Holding back a laugh, I made my way to the table placing one of the cups quietly on it.
Sighing, I shed my coat as well as all my other clothes not including my boxers. The apartment was warm. Under the blankets, it was like a heater was installed. Sipping my coffee slowly, I reached for the remote casually thrown aside. I switched on the television and turned down the volume. My fingers automatically flipped through continuous channels of reality shows without a second thought.
"You'd think that a day with a vampire sex god would be more exciting than this..." I said to myself. I placed my cup on the floor beside me. My legs felt sore and my eyelids slowly drooped. And I fell asleep again.
