Makoto woke up to the sunlight blinding him through the curtains. He felt Ageha's warm body in his arms and smiled. He was so happy and content lying there, just waiting for his lover to wake up.
Slowly Ageha opened his eyes. He too smiled and they shared a sweet kiss. But suddenly he rolled over and curled up into a ball.
"Ageha? Are you alright?" Makoto asked, suddenly worried.
"Makoto, get Kiyoi." He managed to whisper out. Makoto was up and pulling on some pants in a flash. He ran out of the room, calling out for Kiyoi. On his way through the hall he passed Masakazu.
"Oi, Makoto. What's up?" He called out. Makoto turned around.
"Where is Kiyoi-san?"
"He's probably down stairs making breakfast. What's wrong?"
"Ageha." Is all he said as he ran down the stairs, calling out Kiyoi again.
Kiyoi had heard the calls and came out of the kitchen just in time to see Makoto come to a halt at the bottom of the stairs.
"What's wrong, Makoto?" Instantly he got a bad feeling. Something was wrong with Ageha.
"It's Ageha. I don't know what's wrong. He just told me to get you." Makoto said, leading Kiyoi up the stairs and back to his room, Masakazu following closely behind.
They entered the room to find Ageha moaning on the bed, still wrapped in a foetal position. Makoto and Kiyoi ran to him while Masakazu stood near the doorway. Makoto sat on the bed next to Ageha and put a hand on him in comfort.
"Ageha, it's me. What's wrong?" Kiyoi asked, crouching down to be at Ageha's level.
"Kiyoi. I feel sick. I feel like I'm going to vomit." Ageha whispered.
"Masakazu, get a bucket please." Kiyoi said, lifting a hand to feel if Ageha had a fever. He did, and he was shivering slightly.
"Here." As soon as Masakazu returned, Ageha sat up and emptied his stomach into the bucket. Makoto rubbed his back. As soon as he stopped, Kiyoi spoke to him again.
"Do you feel better now?"
"A bit. I feel really weak." And he looked it too. He was extremely pale and was still shaking.
"Makoto, how much blood did he drink from you last night?" Masakazu looked confused at the question that Kiyoi asked.
"Not much. He bit my lip. I think he had some of his own too since some was still in my mouth. Is that what could have made him sick?"
"No, I don't think so. I think he needs more of your blood." He said as he checked Ageha for other signs of illness.
"More of mine?" Makoto asked, looking confused. Kiyoi reached over to the desk and took out a pair of scissors.
"Here. Use this to cut your wrist." Makoto did as he was told and he held up his wrist to Ageha's lips. Ageha was resting his weight onto Makoto, and he took the blood that was offered to him. He drank quickly, and Kiyoi noticed Makoto's eye lids start to get heavy.
"Stop, you've had enough." Kiyoi said to Ageha, but he didn't stop. "Ageha. Stop. Stop now or you will seriously hurt him!" Kiyoi's voice got louder and more frantic as Makoto's head started to bounce heavily. Ageha pulled back, hiding his head in Makoto's shoulder. Kiyoi took Makoto's wrist and inspected it. It was still slightly bleeding.
"Masakazu, can you get some bandages please?"
"Sure." He came back quickly again and Kiyoi bandaged up Makoto's wound.
"Both of you get some sleep. I will come back in a while." Makoto and Ageha lay down and got some rest while Kiyoi and Masakazu left them.
"How come they drank each other's blood? I thought vampires weren't supposed to drink each other's blood." Masakazu said as he and Kiyoi walked down the hall.
"They are not, but they bonded last night." Kiyoi answered him.
"Bonded?"
"Yes."
"So, does that mean that your bond with Ageha is gone?" Masakazu asked. Kiyoi didn't look at him but nodded. "Are you ok with that, Kiyoi?"
"It was Ageha's choice, and I will fully support any choice he makes." Kiyoi said, still not looking at Masakazu.
As they were walking, Masakazu got a glance at a clock on the wall.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late for class. Is it alright for me to go, Kiyoi? Do you need any help here?" He asked.
"I'm fine, thank you for asking. Have a good class."
"Ok. Bye. I'll be back as soon as I can." Masakazu left quickly and Kiyoi sighed. What was wrong with Ageha? Could his body not be taking to the bond? The first bonding process that Ageha went though was painful for him, but only because he was turning from human to vampire, so this shouldn't be painful.
Kiyoi walked into his library and went to the section where all his books were. He picked one up and began to go through it, looking for an answer.
A few hours later, he found it; bonding between two vampires when one vampire already has a bond. He read it out loud to himself.
"When a vampire bonds with another vampire who already has a bond, the already bonded vampire will go through a de-bonding stage before becoming fully bonded to the new vampire. During this stage, he will feel unwell, getting flu-like symptoms. He could be overcome with a fever, shaking, sweating, vomiting, become paler than normal, and will feel weak and tired. The vampire will cling to the vampire they are bonding too, and will shy away from others. Only those who have a previous bond or are bonding to him will be able to get close to the vampire. The vampire will only be able to drink the one he is bonding to's blood. If the vampire drank a different vampire's blood, or a human's blood during this time, the bonding process will be dissolved. The de-bonding stage lasts for up to two days."
Kiyoi sighed. He really should have looked this through before he said it was alright to Ageha. He marked the page and closed the book, getting up and taking it with him. He made his way to Ageha and Makoto's room, then knocked on the door lightly.
"Come in." Makoto called out. Kiyoi pushed the door open, revealing Makoto wrapped around a sleeping Ageha.
"How are you feeling?" He asked, walking over.
"Alright. Ageha's still asleep." He looked at the angelic face of Ageha, "Kiyoi-san, did I do the right thing? Should I have insisted that we didn't bond? I was worried how he would feel once his bond with you was broken."
"Makoto, it was both of your choices. Both of you knew what would happen, and you both made the choice with that in mind."
"Yeah."
"Here." Kiyoi held out the book and Makoto took it.
"What's this?"
"I found this in my library this morning. It's got some information I think you should read in it, regarding Ageha." Makoto nodded and sat up, holding the book in his arms.
"Thank you, Kiyoi." Kiyoi nodded.
"Are you hungry?"
"Hmm, yes."
"Ok, I'll get you some breakfast." Kiyoi stood up and left, leaving Makoto to read the book.
By the time Ageha woke up, Makoto had already finished reading the chapter on vampire bonding in the book several times. He had eaten his breakfast, and was now just waiting for Ageha to wake up.
"Hey." Makoto said to Ageha once his eyes were open.
"Hey." Ageha replied quietly.
"How are you feeling?"
"Alright. And you?"
"Good."
"I didn't hurt you, before, did I?" Ageha asked nervously.
"No, not at all." Makoto and Ageha both smiled to each other. "Are you hungry? Do you want some lunch?"
Ageha nodded. He sat up and Makoto helped him put some clothes on. They made their way downstairs, Ageha tightly wrapped himself around Makoto's arm. They went to the dining room and found Kiyoi there.
"Hello." He said. "How did you sleep, Ageha?"
"Good." Ageha and Makoto took a seat at the table, Ageha between Kiyoi and Makoto.
"Do you want something to eat?" Ageha and Makoto both nodded.
"Yes please, Kiyoi-san." Makoto said.
"Alright. I will make you both a sandwich then." Kiyoi left them while he made the sandwiches, but he returned quickly. Makoto took a bite of his hungrily. Ageha took a small bite of his, but immediately ran to the bathroom. Makoto and Kiyoi both followed him, concerned. Ageha was vomiting in the toilet.
"Ageha, are you alright?" Makoto asked, rubbing his back.
"Yeah."
"Maybe you can't eat human food while you are de-bonding." Kiyoi said.
"De-bonding?" Ageha asked.
"Yeah. Kiyoi found a book and it told about a stage called de-bonding. That's what you are going through now." Makoto told him. He nodded and Makoto helped him up and back to the table, where he himself finished eating. As Makoto was eating, Ageha grabbed his hand, then Kiyoi's.
"Kiyoi, and Makoto." Ageha said Makoto's name full of love, and he looked him in the eyes as he said it. Kiyoi smiled at them. Their love was so strong; they definitely did the right thing by bonding.
"So what can Ageha eat then?" Makoto asked.
"Just your blood I think." Kiyoi replied. Makoto nodded.
"It's alright, Mako, I'm feeling alright now. I don't need to drink yet."
"Alright, just tell me when you do." Makoto replied. Ageha nodded.
