Two weeks had passed since Mika's first day at Yuu's school. And the kids who bullied him on his first day had stopped bothering him. It probably had a lot to do with Yuu's threat that he would hurt them if they dared do it again. And since Yuu was always at Mika's side (partially because of Guren's conditions, but mostly because he wanted to be with him), they couldn't do any harm to the blonde without Yuu knowing about it and make them pay. So everyone simply left him be. It was not that they accepted him, they still despised him, they were simply afraid of the consequences they would get, both from Yuu and Guren for hurting the blonde vampire. Mika was under the protection of the army, after all. So, as long as they had no justification for their actions, as long as Mika didn't hurt, or try to hurt them, they couldn't hurt him. But Yuu still wished for Mika to be accepted by kids their age. He deserved to be treated like any human being. Even though he was a vampire, Mika deserved happiness. He would ensure that he did. He would protect Mika against anything and anyone
Also, during the last two weeks, Mika's hard-working self begun to show. He had started to show a huge devotion toward his schoolwork and homework, working for hours after school to finish it, even sometimes forgetting to sleep (not that he actually needed to), or even to feed. And of course, today was no exception to that rule.
It was a Friday evening, hours after the sunset. And just like usual, Mika was sitting at his desk, diligently doing his homework. He has been on them since they finish their dinner (well only Yuu's since Mika didn't eat), which was actually hours ago, and he didn't take any break since then. Yuu could understand that Mika wanted to do his best, It was how he was, after all. But they had the whole weekend. And it was not as if they had a lot of them to do. That could wait tomorrow. The blonde needed a break, and Yuu would not leave him until was sure that he did. "Mika..." Yuu called. The blonde turned around to look behind him. And he noticed that Yuu was standing in his doorway, looking at him. "Oh, Yuu-chan! What is it?"
Yuu put his hands on his hips, eyebrows frowned, looking highly annoyed. "You're still working?! It's past midnight, Mika! You should take a break!" He sat on Mika's bed with his arms crossed on his chest. When Mika didn't move, Yuu continued: "I'm serious, Mika. Why don't you continue the homework tomorrow? You still have plenty of time after all. Just take a break for the night. And maybe you could drink something." Mika knew what he meant by that last part. He meant drinking his blood, of course. Mika immediately looked away, and said:"No thanks, I'm not..." He stopped mid-sentence. And thought. It was indeed a while since he last drank blood. And the offer of getting a drink made him realize just how thirsty he was, how dry his throat was. "...I... Fine... I will take a break." He gave up, he didn't really have the choice. Yuu wouldn't leave him alone until he agreed to his request to take a break. The dark-haired boy was willing to wait the whole night for that. In a sense it was annoying. To always Yuu bothering him. But it was also nice to have someone who cared for you. Yuu was really one a kind. To care about a vampire. The human was always so caring toward him, protecting him, making sure he didn't starve himself or was too exhausted.
Mika sighed and put his homework away. He could not say no to Yuu, no matter how hard he tried. So he stood up and walked toward the bed, sitting next to Yuu. "Huh, Yuu-chan..." he said, hesitant. "If your offer still stands... Huh... Can I... Can I have some blood?" Yuu smiled. "Of course." Mika brought his arms around Yuu's neck, bringing himself closer to the other. He then leaned down heavily on Yuu, making both of them to fall down on the bed. He then brought his mouth to Yuu's neck, kissing it softly. "Huh... Mika?! What are you..." Yuu was interrupted when he felt sharp fangs piercing into his neck. And as soon as the slight pain had vanished, replaced by a sweet pleasure, he put his arms around Mika's waist, holding him close. "It's alright. Just take what you need." Yuu said as Mika was feeding, one of his hand brushing in the blonde locks.
The whole act didn't last long. Once he was done, Mika removed his fangs from Yuu's neck, licking all the excess blood that still flowed from the two small puncture wounds. After that, he moved back, looking at Yuu. The human was blushing madly, his head turned to the side, clearly embarrassed. Mika smiled, finding Yuu's reaction quite cute.
Mika moved back, allowing Yuu to move. They sat on the bed, looking at each other. The human boy was still blushing, fidgeting. These blood drinking sessions were really intimate, and a bit embarrassing. But at least, they were always alone during these time. Which made this a little bit less embarrassing. But only a little bit. It still made Yuu flustered.
"How are you feeling, Yuu-chan? I didn't drink too much, didn't I?" Mika asked, concerned for the other.
"I'm fine, don't worry. What about you? Was it enough? If you need more..."
Mika smiled, fangs poking from his lips. "I'm fine. Yuu-chan is so cute when he's worried."
Yuu pouted. "I'm not cute." He pushed Mika away, which the latter returned. And it soon ended in a small friendly fight. The little fight then ended with both of them falling on the bed, smiling and laughing. It was the first time they really had fun since they've have been reunited. If only it could stay like that forever.
"I missed that," Mika said softly. "All that time that we were separated... I've missed being with you. To have fun with you like in the past, it makes me... Really happy."
"It's the same for me, Mika. I couldn't be happier." He then added, his voice low and soft:"I missed you so much."
They smiled, looking at each other, holding hands.
After a while, Yuu began to speak again:"Huh... Maybe I should... Go back to my room. Good night, Mika! Sleep well!" But as he was about to get up, he was abruptly stopped by a hand holding on his wrist. "...Mika? What is it?" Yuu looked into Mika's pleading red eyes. "Don't leave... Please... Can you... Stay with me? Just for tonight. Please." Yuu didn't have the heart to say "no" to him. So he agreed. One time couldn't hurt. "Huh... Sure. But only this once. It shouldn't become a habit. We're old enough to be sleeping in our own bed." Mika nodded. It was just one time.
They laid in the bed, Yuu wrapping the sheets around them. But Yuu didn't fall asleep immediately. He kept his eyes open, looking at Mika's sleeping face, softly caressing the blonde's head. "His sleeping face... Hadn't change since then... He is... Pretty cute."
He could feel his face heating, his heart beating faster. He remembered when Mika drank his blood and how he kissed his neck during that time. And while his head was confused, his heart longed for more. "What's wrong with me?" Why was he feeling like that? Sure, he liked Mika as a friend or someone dear to him, but... Just what was Mika to him?
