So many feelings fought for dominance inside him as he stared at the man in his room. Anger from the lies he believed, guilt for taking care of the vampire which turned others, uncertainty of what to do with the situation and sadness for no matter what he chose, he'll lose. "I... I don't know how to react to this." He covered his face with his hand, bringing his legs up against his chest tightly, body shaking from all the conflicting emotions. The strongest emotion, was fear of Arthur, but not in the way anyone else expected. 'I know... I can't tell...'
"Please. I..." What did he plead for? Not forgiveness since he didn't have the right to it. Not mercy since the monster at fault didn't deserve it. Perhaps to be heard? "I wasn't truthful with you, yes, but understand, I just wanted to survive. You are right, I bite only to feed myself. I never mean to harm, therefore, I never kill." He kept his head down, tone soft.
"Was... it all a lie just to feed from me?" Blue eyes peered at him between his fingers, body tense, afraid of the action and waiting to see if he attacked him for finding out his secret, knowing if their roles were reversed he would be angry and wanting to leave as soon as possible.
"At first, yes." His bones rattled from fear that Alfred rather flee and warn everyone than listen. Curling deeper into the corner, Arthur tried to hide himself in the darkness. "Now I won't because I fell in love with you."
"Is that... how you like to get blood usually?" He hoped the answer was no, that he was at least a little special to the vampire, besides just a easy meal. A part of him wondered if maybe Arthur was lying about loving him even now, looking into green eyes to see if he could see the answer for himself.
"No! I am a gentleman, I do not go about teasing hearts for food!" He held his tongue from his out lash and sighed, speaking more calmly. "I either ambush them or act like a good person." Summoning his courage, Arthur faced the human, small tears freely falling. "I-If you are to give me to die, understand I love you. I... honestly love you, Alfred."
He stared at him, took a deep breath and then slowly crawled off the bed, inching closer to his corner on hands and knees, body tense and yet shaking, ready to fight if needed. "I-I can't do that."
Taking note of hesitation between them, Arthur let him do as he pleased. "I won't hurt you." He lowered his tension, watching him carefully. "I had my chances to, but I didn't take them for you took my heart."
"You had a lot of chances, when we were asleep in the same room being one. He asked in realization, stopping within arms reach of the vampire, unsure what he wanted to do but knowing he needed to decide now. You were going to bite me at the dance, weren't you?"
A nod. "Ask all you want, I will tell you the truth."
"Now that I know... You'll be leaving soon, won't you?" Sadness laced though his words, as he slowly sat close to him and leaned against the wall, watching him.
"Only if you'll come with me." Cold fingers stroked against lips he wished to kiss again.
His tongue darted out without thought, liking his lips and in turn Arthur's fingers, blushing he looked away. "I don't know if I can. I don't really want to leave everyone."
"I want to be with you, my love." Taking the sign and turning the human's face, Arthur leaned forwards, placing a kiss.
He kissed gently, leaning into the hand still touching his face, eyes closed. "Does that mean you'll stay here with me?" 'I feel so selfish, wanting him to stay with me and risk himself.'
"Yes, I'll need to fed on something to survive though."
"I'll go out and catch you large animals everyday if needed." He spoke with confidence, staring into glowing green eyes happily.
"I find animal blood grotesques, but a sacrifice to be with you." He stared back, smiling fully, showing his fangs. "Thank you for keeping me."
He leaned over and hugged him tightly, pulling him close, chin resting on shoulder. "I love you so much Arthur."
Moaning from the embrace, tears ceased and arms wrapped around, kissing his ear. "I love you as well, Alfred."
He squirmed from the kiss on his ear, a light laugh escaping his throat. "Since I don't think either of us want to continue what we were doing earlier I think we should go to bed. We'll be so entwined together it will be almost impossible to figure out were one of us ends and the other begins."
'I actually wanted to.' A frown tugged at the corner of cold lips. "I understand, dear."
He pecked his cheek, moved away from his hold and moved to the bed, climbing on it and grinning over his shoulder at him. 'If he does want to continue where we left off we'll need to careful, but I'm sure he doesn't want to after the emotions we just went through.'
After changing into night clothing given to him, Arthur slipped beside Alfred. "I promise to you, I won't lie ever again. I'm glad you still love me." He paused. "I... you must be very shocked to find out. This wasn't how I imagined it to be." Closing in to fit on the small bed, their lower regions pressed into each other, moaning lightly to himself.
"I told you, I will always love you." He faced him in bed, wiggling trying to get as close and comfortable as possible. "And I am. I-I didn't think I would ever be face to face with the one attacking the others..." Cheeks darkened at the feel of them pressed together, hiding his face in Arthur's neck, wrapping his arms tight around him.
"Mmm." A certain bulge nudged right on Arthur's just below the belt. 'Is he turned on?' "Does knowing you're with a vampire excite you?"
Pink lips parted and sucked in air feeling his member harden. "Knowing I'm with you excites me." Blue eyes glance up then back down shyly.
Nipping lightly for attention, Arthur's lips fluttered against his ear. "Do you want to relived the satisfying heat mixing between us again?" Then made them face each other. "I do. I loved my body consumed by your wet warmth."
"Honestly, I want to continue, but I don't want to pressure you." The blonde placed a small kiss under half lidded eyes, glad the tear tracks vanished. He blushed and nodded, wiggling down the bed to tug on pants. "I-I should have asked before..."
"Asked what?" Groaning at his hardness relieved, Arthur spread his legs and leaned against the wall.
He ducked his head down so his bright red face wouldn't be seen, licking his member slowly. "When you cum... Do you want me to swallow?"
His faced matched Alfred's, length twitching at the idea. How alluring! "You don't... unless you want to."
Blonde hair nodded as he took the harder tip in his mouth, swirling tongue around. 'Considering how much the idea turned him on, I'm going to try.'
"D-dear..." Shifting for more, moaning to himself, the vampire's breath quicken. "wasn't I deeper when we stopped?"
He looked up as he took half in his mouth, sucking and moaning softly.
Oh, much better. Pacing slowly, Arthur rolled his hips, heat refilling inside him. "Mmm, yes." Arthur's patience for longed pleasure thinned as he quicken and pushed deeper into the cavern.
He hummed encouragingly, letting his hips move freely, watching his reactions. Alfred moaned and sucked as more entered him, tapping his hips he looked up at him curiously. 'He's in a real rush suddenly.'
His lenght leaked, the fire burned hotter as it built up again, he thrusted a little more inside, trying to remember to be careful. 'I can't lose my mind... from this...' But it felt so right. He parted his legs more and watched the blonde man suck, twitching and leaking. "Ah!" The vampire inhaled sharply, unused to such intimacy. "A-Alfred." Hips jerked forward, panting and gripping the sheets. "I..." He felt himself reaching a point of muscles shaking and electricity ready to pulse throughout his body. "Deeper."
He moaned deeply at the taste, eyes falling close, sucking harder. It felt so good, giving the man under him this pleasure, a part of him wished it would always be like this. He whimper as his hips moved most of the member inside, swallowing and sucking hard he looked up at him, eyes shinning in joy. Alfred took a deep breath through his nose and moved slowly, taking all of Arthur's member inside, stopping when the tip touched the back of his throat, slightly surprised he was able to do so yet proud too. He hummed loudly, looking up at Arthur's face. 'God he looks so beautiful.'
It took all of his being to not come undone, trying to make the warmth last longer. "Ohh." He thrusted against the wet muscle and tapped Alfred's throat, letting his head fall back. "Y-you're exceptionally well a-at this." Struggling to speak from pants and moans not used to making, the vampire drew out the name of the other man. "Alfred~"
Blushing brightly he kept his eyes close, knowing he would be even redder if Arthur said anything else about it, he sucked harder, trying to distract him. Hands came up and held onto his hips, rubbing the scar gently, closing his eyes he hummed a forgotten tune, letting him move inside, trusting him to not thrust too hard. Swallowing the precum trickling down his throat he moaned at the taste.
"Mmm!" He couldn't take anymore and warned his lover. "Dear, it's so good..." Arching, he groaned loudly, expelling his seed.
He pulled back so only the tip was inside his mouth, swallowing the cum as it filled his mouth, groaning from the taste, eyes opened and staring up at him, watching his face, knowing he was the one to give him such pleasure and loving every second of it.
"You... didn't have to..." Oh, but it looked so dazzling! "But, are you still hard?"
He swallowed the last of the cum, licking the member in front of him clean, before looking up at him shyly. "Y-you seemed excited by the thought, so I wanted to." He moved back up the bed, smiling and nodding. "I am, b-but you don't have to return the favor, don't worry."
"But I should..." Arthur laced his fingers around his darling's hot member. "We are lovers, we both should get equal amounts of pleasure." Holding him by the shoulders, Arthur supported him just in case he would fall back. "I have you." Stroking fast, he locked their lips in a passionate kiss.
Alfred whimpered, legs stretching further, grinding his hips up into his hand. Moaning he kissed deeply, bucking into the touch, arms coming over to cling around him, fingers tangling in hair. 'So strong!' Hips bucked up as his head fell back, gasping and moaning, face pink.
Squeezing the throbbing skin, Arthur opted not to tease him. 'He's really hard.' Opening his mouth, he enticed him to enter, flicking his tongue against Alfred's. He gently pinched the tip, seeing if a musical note stirred from his dear. "Mm." Pressing his thumb against the slit, he rub roughly, waiting for warm, seeping cum. The vampire sucked on his muscle, wary to not bite hard.
Moaning loudly he rubbed his tongue against Arthur's, hips rolling into the touch as his fingers tightened their hold on blonde locks. He broke the kiss and whimpered, speaking lowly in ear. "Ah~ Arthur, oh god. Y-you feel so good!" A small pink tongue flicked out and licked the shell of his ear, panting softly.
"And you said I didn't need to repay the favor." He attacked the sensitive neck with kisses, licking the sweet spot he missed. He made love to neck with cool lips, moaning and holding back his bite. 'I won't turn him, I can't do that to him.' Fingers stroke faster, pumping the entire member.
He moaned loudly and tilted his head back, mouth dry from trying to regain his breath. "F-foolish of me to say so, would have missed out on this! Oh please my love, more." Hips bucking fast he whispered lowly, repeating his name over and over. "Arthur, Arthur, Arthur." He could feel himself close to an edge he hadn't gone over in a long time, his member twitching and leaking.
"Alfred, you're ready, aren't you?"
He nodded quickly and tilted his head, kissing deeply as he dove off the edge, covering his love's hand in his hot cum, body shuddering as he moaned loudly, mind fuzzy. Moaning, he licked the roof of Arthurs mouth, body relaxed in his hold, eyes at half mast.
He pumped until Alfred's climax ceased, moaning in their embrace. Sucking and groaning, the loving beast laid on top of him, never letting go.
Hands pulled him closer, liking the feel of the Englishman on laying him, kissing him, completely relaxed against the bed. "I'll p-protect you from the others Arthur, don't you worry."
"Thank you." Not minding his wet hand, Arthur pecked his neck, soften members against each other. "You're tired, rest my ruby."
Tilting his head back more he smiled, he panted. "Y-you're welcome." He hid his face in Arthur's neck, eyes closed and breathing deeply. 'Mmm, he smells really good. Wait a minuet.' "Ruby?" His eyes closed and he nuzzled the neck in front of him, opening his legs and moving Arthur to rest in between them comfortably.
"Precious, beautiful, natural, all like your face."
His face turned bright red and he was never more thankful it was hidden from the vampire's gaze then now. "D-don't say such things."
"Why?"
'Because it makes me turn the most alarming shades of red.' "Because I look nothing like a ruby, so there."
"These do." Facing each other, pecking each red patch under blue eyes, the vampire proved his point and kissed his forehead. "Sleep well."
Cheeks turned redder as he looked away, mumbling softly, "At least I'm precious, I guess." Pecking his lips his whispered. "You as well, my lovely." Closing his eyes and holding him close he smiled.

Feliciano allowed Lily to watch him boiling noodles as long as she wasn't too close. He stirred them around, explaining to her. "It might sounds crazy but it's possible to burn water. Big brother knows that too well." She giggled with him as the other Italian grunted. "There's an old way to tell that noddles are ready. Want to find out?" He kneeled to her level, smiling happily as always with Lily nodding. He tossed a strand against a wall, it clung for a second then fell. "If it sticks to the wall, it's done!"
"You better clean that up." Romano watched them from the set table, annoyed that the one time he burned water was mentioned ever time he was around food, yet knowing the story was told so Lily would find some humor out of it.
"I'll tell that to big brother next time we cook together." She laughed, sweeping the wet noodle into a dust pan.
The Italian sadly sighed, not knowing if that could ever happen. 'I don't know if I'll ever cook for Ludwig again. I feel so bad thinking of killing another being for them. Can't there be another way?' He sniffled and wiped away his crying with a rag. 'Food seems to be the only thing easing us. I wish I could help with the everyone's pain.' A spark. "Hold on now." Of course, that sounded wonderful! "Romano! I have a great idea!" Hugging his brother after shooting across the room, Feliciano exclaimed in his ear. "I know a way for everyone to be happy, at least for tonight."
"Oi, dont yell in my ear, and let go! What bull- dumb scheme have you come up with this time?"
Swinging their bodies together, not paying attention, he cheered, dragging them to the pot. "A dinner party! Everyone lonely can enjoy being with friends tonight! Isn't that great?"
"Let me go!" Struggling against his brother was in vain when he was like this, obvious to the world beside in his mind. "And you think we have enough food for everyone?"
"We do!" He skipped to the pantry and pulled another batch of hard noodles out. "Oh no, I have to ask soon since it's almost dinner time. Can you watch the food while..." Problem, Romano had a bad history of cooking. "Maybe you should go ask..." Another problem, Romano had a bad history with hospitality.
Romano's eyes rolled as he shooed his brother away. "You've been showing Lily how to cook, I'm sure she'll do fine. But you're on a time limit, so you better not spend forever asking people to come over."
"Ve~ I trust you!" Were his last before running out the door. 'This is going to be fun.'
"He better trust me, I'm his older brother." The dark haired Italian grumbled as he tried to help Lily cook more food for their sudden guests.
"Francis! Come out!" The Italian knocked hard, awaiting for the door to open.
"What is it, is something the matter?" Francis stared at him curiously, a red wine bottle in hand.
"Yes, I'ma a having a dinner party for everyone! You're invited."
"Oh? Well thank you, when is it? And who all is invited?" Ah, such a kind boy Feli was, making such wonderful food for people, not as good as his own of course, but much better than what others dreamt of.
"Right now, I'm inviting everyone. See you there." He ran to the next house of Mr. Zander.
"Everyone, oh? I should bring some of my best French wine then~!"
"Sounds great!" He shouted then knocked for old man, Mr. Zander and asked when he appeared. "Come to my dinner party, I'm making lots of food for the whole village! It'll be fun for us all."
"Sorry Mr. Vargas, I already ate, but thank you for the invite all the same. I hope you and the others have fun."
"Ok! I'll come by earlier next time." In a few breathes, the excited Italian knocked for Alfred, calling out to him. "Alfred! I'm inviting you and your boyfriend for dinner tonight!"
Alfred answerd the call, a light pink on his cheeks at what Feli yelled out. "Dinner tonight? Thanks Feli, we haven't eaten yet. What are you making? You are the one making it, right?" He cast a worried look towards the Italian's house, imagining the horrors of Romano's cooking.
"I'ma making the town favorite, spaghetti!"
Peering from the bedroom door way, the creature watched Alfred and the other man speak. wary of their subject. 'Dinner? Is that a good idea?'
Alfred grinned and chuckled. "You sure that's not just your favorite? And let me see he had any plans for tonight, ok?" Alfred held up a finger and looked over his shoulder, watching Arthur, his smile widened and he tilted his head questionable, sure with his hearing he heard it all.
"My favorite is five cheese lasagna, actually." Feliciano bounced, trying to catch a glimpse of Alfred's boyfriend.
"Why not?" Arthur stepped up and bowed to the Italian. "I need to meet your friends and I'd like to know what you guys love to eat."
"Ah, I liked that one you made for me once, without one of the cheeses. Course your bother got really angry about that, something about it not being real lasagna... Anyway, we'll come over in a few minutes. Oh, could you prepare Arthur's plate like you do mine? He doesn't like garlic either."
"No problem at all." With little time he had, Feliciano ran to the next house.
Arthur then approached his beloved from the side, closing the door. "I pray nothing bad happens. I'm a little nervous."
"That makes two of us, but I'm sure everything will be fine, I'm right beside you." He wrapped his arms around his neck, pulling him closer. "And if we get too uncomfortable we'll leave, ok?"
"Thank you very much." He grabbed Alfred's waist, grinning. "We'll enjoy it."
"I'll mostly enjoy it because you will be with me." Alfred smiled and leaned in, brushing their lips together.
Kissing, Arthur held on, rubbing his hands into Alfred's waist. 'So affectionate.'
Moaning softly Alfred broke the kiss, smiling. "We should get ready then, hmm?" He knew both of them looked like they had been lying in bed all day, because that's exactly what they had done.
"Indeed we should." Nodding briefly, departing to the bedroom and combing his hair even though it never stayed as the style he wanted. What's wrong with your hair boy, his mother asked long ago. You must get it from your father, they laughed together as she brushed quickly to keep it neat, only to have rebellious strands stand up. How he missed those times.
Alfred came into the room, and grabbed a clean shirt. "You look good no matter how your hair is." Throwing off his old shirt, he quickly pulled the new one on, tieing his scarf around his neck. "Ready?"
"I-I am dear. Do you-?" Wiping away any droplets, Arthur changed into light colored clothes he borrowed from Alfred. "Never mind, I'm sure you get depressed, bothered and anxious that you're family is gone."
He paused and nodded, eyes low. "I try to think of the happier times, you know? When we were all young and carefree. I know the want me to be happy, so I try my best to be."
"Perhaps together, we'll be happy and cherish what we have?"
"I know just being near you makes me happy." He stepped closer, reaching out and cupping his cheek, smiling gently. "We'll take things one day at a time and be the happiest people on earth, because we have each other."
"Even if I am not like you?" He traced a knuckle, smelling blood under neath his skin. Once exposing his true colors, Arthur found it wonderful the human's didn't change. He had not lost the love he so yearned.
"I will always love you." Alfred leaned close and brushed lips, pulling back after a moment. "I wouldn't care what you were."
The vampire grinned and chuckled. "Thank you so much. I love you."
He gently grabbed his hand and interlaced their fingers, smiling back. "Shall we? Oh, thought I should warn you now, most likely the scent of garlic lingers there, but I told him to make your plate without it."
"I am ready." After last minuet checks, they began heading to the home of delicious food cooking and affected guests, unknowing dinning with the very monster they hated.
