"W-what?"
"I made my choice and I would like for you to change me."
Katsuki blinked.
"Ahhhh-
Izuku stepped closer.
"Please."
Katsuki swallowed hard.
"You realize what that means right?" the blonde vampire asked.
"I do. I had enough time to think about it."
"What does your mom think?"
"She wants me to be happy and let her know I'm ok."
"Alright then. Let's go to the nest."
"N-nest?"
"There is a place for those who get changed and they can do it safely."
Izuku made a face. It seemed so strange vampires had a place to change people. It made his gut twist in knots wondering what was awaiting him once Katsuki's teeth were sunk into his neck.
"I'll be there the whole time."
"Alright."
"Let's get going."
The walk there was silent the whole time. Izuku had to admit, he was nervous... almost enough to make him feel nauseous. Katsuki continued to cast him weird looks but he never said anything. The teenager chewed his lips as the walk continued.
They came to a bus stop and waited on the bench.
"It feels weird you would take a bus."
The vampire smirked.
"I can run really fast but you're human and can't walk like that. I also don't want to carry you around."
"Oh."
The bus came some time later and they got on, continuing to stay quiet.
Izuku watched as the buildings passed by in a blur. It helped calm his nerves some even though he had no idea where they were going. He had the thought that Katsuki could just kill him but that seemed somewhat unlikely. He wondered what Shouto would think of him after all this. Would he have the same smell or would he smell like the vampire sitting beside of him?
"Let's get off here."
Izuku snapped out of his thoughts and nodding without even paying attention until he saw Katsuki stand up. The two of them got off of the bus, standing on a dark street. Katsuki pulled his phone and started texting.
"Is everything ok?" Izuku asked.
"I gotta wait on an answer from Nemuri."
"Nemuri?"
"Yea. She's the owner of the house we are going to."
"O-oh."
"Let's hurry that way, ok? And um... she's rather..."
Katsuki turned red.
"What?"
"She's rather... sexual? She dresses like a high class hooker but she's really nice."
Izuku just stared at him.
"She knows me because I go there to change people all the time. She's an expert at this kind of thing. She's over three thousand years old I think."
"Oh wow. She would be really interesting to talk too."
The vampire snorted and they continued to make their way down the street.
The darkness was actually getting to him. For some weird reason, he felt like he was being watched. It was a strange feeling that made the hairs on his neck stand up on end. It was possible Katsuki felt this too because he grabbed his hand, pulling him closer. Maybe it was just him but he could smell something unusual where they were at. Izuku sniffed at the air.
"You're smelling vampire."
"Huh?"
"I can hear you trying to sniff the air like a dog."
Izuku's face heated up.
"When there's a massive amount of vampires in one area, it starts to smell like them. Some people think it stinks like a skunk... What do you smell?"
"I smell like there's something weird but it's not unpleasant?"
"Hm."
"Is that weird?"
"I don't know. You're kind of weird yourself."
Izuku made a face but didn't say anything.
They stopped in front of a very nice house. It was big and a light blue with black shutters. It was something out of a story book. It had a white picket fence and roses planted for people to look at as they passed by on the sidewalk. It was wonderful- something people dream of owning when they become adults and want to have a family. Izuku smiled fondly at the building.
"You ready?"
The teenager glanced at him briefly before looking at the ground.
"It's not too late."
"No, it's not that. You don't think this is all too fast for me? I mean..."
Katsuki snorted.
"We started dating after a week. You guys have been talking for a while. I didn't even know him at all. You know him more than I did when I started dating him. You two have something that most people don't have even in these days."
"How would you know?"
Katsuki arched an eyebrow.
"Vampires can smell it. The chemical reaction the brain gives off when someone is in love. We can smell certain things like that. That's why vampires didn't flock to you- Shouto already marked you. It could've been the moment he met you and his body did it without his knowing. Vampires usually believe in soul mates... only because you live so long, you want something to believe in."
"That's surprising..."
"Um, let's get in."
The closer they got to the building the stronger the vampire smell got stronger. It was causing Izuku's heart to slam against his ribs but it wasn't in a fearful way.
This is it.
Katsuki knocked on the door a few times before it swung open and they were greeted by a black haired woman. She had big blue eyes and had on red glasses. Her black hair flowed down to her hips and she was in a silk night gown.
"Katsuki, baby! I'm so glad you have returned!"
Her eyes shifted from the blonde vampire to the green haired human teenager beside of him. Her pupils dilated looking at him like a cat.
"Um..."
"I have a friend who wants to be changed. I know it's later than you would like but-
She grabbed both of their hands and jerked them in.
"No problem!" she cried out throwing her hands up then shut the door loudly.
Izuku glanced at Katsuki who looked rather annoyed by her bright and loud voice filled with enthuisum.
"Alright, let's head to the kitchen and sit down!"
"I just need a room-
"Nonsense! I want to know what is all about this sweet, innocent child!"
She shoved Izuku into the kitchen quickly not giving anyone a chance to run off.
"My name is Nemuri!" she said holding out her hand.
"N-nice to meet you."
Izuku shook her hand.
"You smell so interesting. How nice... You smell familiar though..."
"Oh..."
"Stop it already. He's already nervous."
"Who is she?"
"She who?"
"Your lover."
Izuku turned bright red.
"It's a he actually..."
The woman squealed with delight.
"Who is it?!" she said with a big grin on her face.
Izuku shot Katsuki a glance that screamed 'rescue me!' but the blonde ignored his pleading glances.
"Shouto Todoroki."
Nemuri's face fell quite quickly and she looked over at Katsuki.
"Leave the room."
Katsuki chewed the inside of his mouth for a moment then got up and left.
"You know who his father is right?"
"I do... Which is why I'm here now."
The vampire leaned back in her seat.
"I've seen Enji pissed off before. He's taking down villages of human in his younger days. He's a... he's a vampire. Not the pretty kind like in books and movies that teenage girls love. I knew his old wife. She was quite the... looker herself. Dangerous and passionate. Equally destructive. Somehow Rei calmed him down... He's been on the prowl to find his son Dabi a woman and even Shouto."
"Why are you telling me this?" Izuku asked nervously.
"Because. Enji is a pure bred vampire and his desire to have a lineage from the child he created with Rei is very strong. You can change but how are you sure he will accept you afterwards?"
He swallowed hard. That was his main worry.
I could do this all for nothing. I don't want Mom to suffer through my choices if they end up being bad. I've gone this far already.
"Shouto and I can work out something. If we need to separate from his family then we will. We haven't talked much but... we can discuss things further. His father is the only one who doesn't like me."
Nemuri nodded. Silence fell between them making it awkward. Izuku shifted in his seat wondering when this would just be all over with.
"Do you know how it feels to transition?" she asked finally.
"No."
She smiled sadly.
"I remember mine... It wasn't pretty."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"No reason to be sorry. Most people feel two different things. It feels like death and it feels like fire. A few feel euphoria or even floating. Sometimes it's a combination."
He didn't say anything.
"It is not always pretty. It's a hell you're put through and you hope to come out on the other side or die. The rooms are all sound proof and everyone comes here willingly. The rules are set ahead of time. Katsuki isn't the type to... um... ease the pain in that manor. I am assuming that you don't want that."
He stared at her until it clicked in his head on what she meant.
"N-no!"
"Alright... Let's get to it then."
They left the kitchen and found Katsuki in the den looking at the books lined neatly on the bookshelf.
"He's ready."
The blonde vampire nodded.
Izuku followed Katsuki upstairs. The hallway was longer than he had imagined it was and it was starting to remind him of a haunted house slightly. They came to a door at the very end of the east part of the house. The door was white and it looked like it had been painted recently. He could see the small grooves in the wood and it made his hair stand on end.
The blonde vampire opened the door and Izuku was met with a sweet lavender and vanilla smell.
"This room only has a couch- no bed. It has tools just in case anything happens. You have nothing to worry about here."
"How many people have you changed?" Izuku asked as he shut the door and locked it.
"Over three hundred actually."
"O-oh."
"I usually lie but I trust you."
Katsuki held out a hand.
"This is going to be a little weird but you're going to sit down while I straddle you."
"Aaaa-
"So I can hold you down just in case. Nothing more."
"O-ok."
"Also... your vampire traits are going to be similar to mine... Shouto is half human. You will be ten times stronger than him. You probably can change people too. You will be able to fly and have speed on your side. My only bad trait is I feed more."
It's almost like human genes being passed to their children. I suppose vampire traits are more direct than some being recessive and dominant.
"That's really interesting."
"You could also change Shouto to a full blooded vampire and he more than likely will retain his own traits. If you two decide to go that route. Once we get pass the draining stage then there's no going back..."
"Draining?"
"Yes. I have to drain out over half of your blood before your vampire fangs will emerge. Once that happens, you'll feed on me to replace what you lost."
"Sounds rather simple."
Katsuki rolled his eyes. Izuku sat down on the couch feeling his face turn bright pink as Katsuki did exactly as he said he would.
For the moment, everything went slow then fast at the same time. He closed his eyes tight as soon as he felt Katsuki's breath on his neck. He pictured Shouto's smile and the way he looked when he was confused. From how angry he had gotten to the look of desire on his face when he wanted to feed. Everything about him was so perfect. He was so close to being with him without judgement.
But...
Katsuki was hesitating to the point it was obvious now. Izuku allowed his breath to slow trying to calm himself down. Shortly, he would be suspended between life and death. This would be his life. This would be how it was for him. Every single day. He felt the vampire's hand slide up on the back of his head and grab a fist full of hair, pulling his head to the side gently.
His teeth plunged into his neck in the same spot Shouto had bit him. A weird, animalistic growl ripped from Izuku's mouth and his arms flew out and clung to the blonde vampire in a death grip making him jump. Izuku's mind became clouded by the same sensation he had gotten with Shouto but this time was different. It was stronger and it felt like it was crawling through veins, invading his body.
The hell is going on, was the only thing Katsuki could think.
He had changed so many in his young vampire life but no one had reacted like this. It could've been the bites he had received already powering through his body in small traces. He had no idea how much Shouto had fed off the human boy but it was becoming clear- Izuku was made to be a vampire. It was rare and was almost unheard of of a human that took to vampire change so well.
What are you? Katsuki thought as blood continued to pour into his mouth.
Still here! Just exhausted lol I've been on this same chapter since the last one I had posted. I hope everyone is ok! Sorry for the wait Amberthecat. Story is almost over but not quite yet!
