3. Strange, Weird Conversation
Everything felt like disaster.
Just like now, where he was standing and sweating like crazy under Mika's piercing red eyes. If this was Shinoa's way in solving problem, he really did not want to know how she spent most of her life in the Hiiragi. Shinoa seemed the most normal between the Hiiragis, but after all 'normal' was really not an adjective to call any Hiiragi.
"...did you just said that you want to have sex, Yuu-chan...?"
So, how did he get to this point again? Right, it was started when Shinoa offered to help him, and then he stupidly agreed to it, and then they walked together towards Mika's place since Shinoa knew where the blond went away.
"You have to clear all of this misunderstanding, Yuu-san," the purple-haired Hiiragi said as they walked together. Due to his frustration, Yuu only nodded along anything Shinoa said. He did not have any experience in facing a girl, let alone a boy. The only boys he dealed with in daily basis were Saotome Yoichi and Kimizuki Shihou. But treating them was of course different with treating Mika... Yuu would never want to kiss Yoichi or, God forbid, see Kimizuki naked. He cringed unconsciously, but a second later he blushed as his thought wandered towards about his wish seeing Mika naked. "First you have to explain to him that you didn't push him away because you hate him."
"I never said I hate him-"
"I know, but I also know Mika-san would think like that, so just shut up and listen to me," Shinoa rolled her eyes. They passed their head quarter quickly, but Yuu still did not know where they were heading to. "Just tell him about your puberty change."
"And how the hell am I supposed to tell him that?!" the male teen raised his voice impatiently. "'Mika, I pushed you away because, you know, your body made me horny and I didn't want to pin you down and ravish you for the rest of the night?'"
"No matter how hot that would be," Shinoa smirked as her eyes telling Yuu that he had just said his dirty intention towards Mika out loud, but she frowned again as she talked seriously. "I think you should make sure that you don't hate Mika-san or his identity as a vampire. Don't make him stop drinking any blood, Yuu-san."
"...right," that changed Yuu's mood into a more serious one once again. "It would be really my fault if he tried to hold back his need again."
"Good, now that you understand the main problem," the trickster girl smirked again. "You have to explain to him about your puberty problem as well!"
"...WHAT?" Yuu blushed again. A few people near them looked at Yuu questioningly. It was night time already, most of the soldiers were in their rooms, resting. But a few other were lounging outside. The Moon Demon Company head quarter lost its' strictness at night, and it looked more like a student dorm than a soldier barrack like that. Guren was nice enough to let the soldiers do whatever they wanted after their daily trainings at daytime.
"Hey, he might have the way to solve your problem!" she said. "I mean he looks maturer than the rest of us – and he looks experienced too! Mika-san told us once he was kind of ... a pet to the vampire queen, right? Who knows what they have done together-"
The change in Yuu's face quickly made Shinoa cover her mouth and slap herself in her mind. Oops. She said the worst thing she could possibly say. But it was actually in her mind for a while now... Mika was a big question mark. He was friendly enough because of Yuu, but he rarely told anything about himself. But he admitted that the vampire queen was indeed keeping him as a 'pet', that was why he could stay alive for those four years. But, the one thing Shinoa wanted to know was those four years... what happened then?
"...I mean, maybe he knows one or two things about that from his vampire friends back then... I guess...," she tried to correct her words, but what had done was done. Yuu's face was dark. Jealousy, she guessed. "Anyway, just try asking for his help as well, okay?"
Well, asking for Mika's help. That might actually good to boost the vampire's confidence (as he usually worked his ass off to make himself useful for Yuu – and the squad). As if if he was being useful, his sinful existence as a vampire would be forgiven. Yuu protested at Mika's way of thinking at first, but if that was his way of coping in living together with them, then Yuu could not have anything to say.
But actually asking Mika's help that involved in... in such embarrassing problem...!
The emerald-eyed boy groaned as he messed up his own hair. Shinoa chuckled. Yuu was actually cute like this. She patted the messy raven hair and pulled Yuu's hand away before he pulled out his own hair.
"It's okay, Yuu-san. It might be embarrassing," she assured. "But your sex problem is much more forgivable than actually fussing over Mika-san's status."
Yuu was disagree with that. His sex problem was more destructive than the world's apocalypse, but he was too tired to argue his female comrade.
"So, just be honest," Shinoa chuckled. "It was one of your strong points, anyway!"
It was almost more like an insult than a praise, but Yuu managed to force a weak smile. He did not realize that they were already on the rooftop of the headquarter. It meant, they were 21 floors away from the ground, and they could see almost the whole Shibuya there, if not for the defense fortress around their headquarter. The rooftop was usually desolate, despite its' beautiful scene especially at night. It was because of the harsh and dry wind – there were lack of trees to prevent the harsh wind – and also not everyone was allowed to be there.
"...why are we here, Shinoa?" Yuu finally realized where they stood after the wind blew his hair into his eyes and mouth. "Argh, the wind is so annoying—"
"But you asked for Mika-san's whereabouts, right?" Shinoa grumbled as her hair was also everywhere on her face. "Anyway, I'll leave everything to you now! My hair is not for this kind of wind, you know!"
"Yeah, thanks, Shinoa!" the young soldier prepared his heart and mind. "See you later, then!"
"Yeah, yeah," the girl answered as she walked down. "Just ask him about how to have sex properly or anything to satisfy your curiosity, Yuu-san! Or better, ask him to have sex with you!"
"SHINOA!" his yell was answered with loud giggle and quick steps. But those were not the only things he got.
"Yuu-chan...?"
That soft, hesitant voice made his heart skipped a beat. The loud wind almost covered it, but Yuu knew he did not hear wrong. He quickly turned to see a lone figure was standing there, eyes glowing in the dark. Those crimson eyes that Yuu really loved...
"M-Mika," he greeted nervously. "H, hey. I was looking for you everywhere, so I asked Shinoa where you are, and yeah, so here you are. Great."
"I'm sorry Yuu-chan," Mika smiled softly, but it looked forced. "For leaving without saying anything. But... I just assumed you don't want to see me for a while-"
So his fear was true. Damn, Mika, of all things, why did you choose to be sensitive on this kind of thing?! He should be more sensitive of Yuu's affectional gestures, than the negative ones! The raven-haired teen cursed his childhood friend silently while still admiring said childhood friend's stunning look despite the strong wind. Mika's fluffy blond hair was blown by the wind but it only showed more of his face, illuminated with the bright safety lamps around the building. Ah... so the blond indeed had the same pointy ear like the other vampires...
"Mika, I want to apologize-" Yuu quickly said. "I'm sorry for pushing you away like that, but really, I didn't mean anything bad!"
Silence. The crimson eyes looked at Yuu guiltily. "I... I know, Yuu-chan," he said. "Well, I will control myself more... when... when drinking..."
"Mika!"
Yuu gripped Mika's shoulders, hurt on his eyes. He blamed his own reckless behavior. He never thought on Mika's position – that Mika was already hating himself, and any slight rejection would cause a really great damage to the blond. He hated himself for his selfish acts.
"I told you again and again; I never blame you about drinking my blood," he said, his eyes were honest. Honesty was one of his strong point; Shinoa was right. So he would tell what he felt to Mika, everything. Honestly. "You are my family, Mika. And I will do anything to keep you alive, and please listen to me; whoever you are, you are still my Mika."
And now Yuu hated himself for being too honest. Mika's wide eyes told him that, yea, Mika got it the wrong way. Again.
"I-I mean," he stuttered, now not too sure. "You are still my family. I don't mind you drink my blood or even eat my heart-" now he frowned. Great, now his description made Mika even more like a monster. "Wait a minute. That was creepy. I mean, I never blamed you for all the things happened, Mika. I am totally grateful you are still here, alive, in front of me... Just... just that, okay? Blood is just a cheap price if it is compared to you being here!"
The blond vampire's expression was bemused from all Yuu's assuring (yet messy and ambiguous) words, but then he smiled more sincerely now. He held Yuu's hand on his shoulders – still warm since he drank Yuu's blood just recently.
"I know, Yuu-chan," he chuckled. Yuu was totally adorable, after all. "Just... sometimes it's scary being a monster, you know? I'm afraid I will forget everything and..."
"Mika, get rid of such thinking! I will hate you if you keep thinking like that."
"Being hated by Yuu-chan is scaried, so, okay, I will try that."
"Mika, you are laughing at me."
"No, I don't, Yuu-chan."
"You are laughing, Mika."
"Okay, okay, I'm laughing."
"Now you make fun of me."
"Yuu-chan is so adorable."
"MIKA."
But listening to Mika's laughter was a relief to Yuu. He was also smiling. Mika's smile was really infectious, after all. They said, people who had been through so much would have infectious smile. So true.
"So, Yuu-chan," Mika stopped his laughter. "Why did you push me away? Did I hurt you?"
"What?! No!" the human soldier quickly shook his head. "Just... I... I felt kind of weird, so..."
"Weird?"
"No... just... uh...," Yuu tried to look for a way in explaining this. Without making everything awkward. "Just... uh..."
Yuu gulped. Mika stared. The wind blew.
"...the wind is so annoying. Let's get back first, okay?" the slightly shorter male turned around. His mind still worked on how to put his situation in words. Mika did not say a word, but he followed his childhood friend.
The walk was awkward already. Yuu looked anywhere but Mika, and Mika only looked down, brooding since Yuu did not answer his question.
"...I will go back to my room then, Yuu-chan," he finally spoke, dejected. Yuu quickly grabbed his hand, panicked.
"No!" he almost yelled. "C-come with me to my room. I will explain everything there!"
The sapphire-eyed teen followed him without saying a word.
It was more awkward inside Yuu's room. Mika was sitting on his bed, while Yuu was standing, his back facing the blond.
"...s, so. Mika. Uh...," he started, mind was messed up. "Well... y-you know, uh, p-puberty?"
Silence. If he was looking at Mika, he would find a really round crimson eyes looking at him as if he was growing another head.
"Uh... yeah?"
Be honest. Be honest. Be honest-
"S-so. I... I'm going through that."
"...well, I can see that, Yuu-chan. Your voice is changing, your body is growing-"
"ImeanIwanttohavesex!"
...
Well, that was certainly honest. Not in good way.
While screaming that magnificent outburst, Yuu turned around so now he was facing Mika. And he could see Mika's shocked face. And Mika would be able to see his hot face now.
"...did you just said that you want to have sex, Yuu-chan...?"
Shit. Shit. Shit. Yeah, way to make yourself looks like a pervert, Hyakuya Yuuichirou! Congrats! You just reveal yourself as a big pervert to your childhood friend a.k.a the star in your sexual imagination himself!
"I MEAN," Yuu tried to calm himself but it was a big fail. "I- I have this- kind of- urge to—well—do something sexual- wait, it's still not-"
"Yuu-chan," Mika cut his ramblings. His face was also blushing slightly, but definitely much calmer than the green-eyed teen. "I... I understand. Although vampires don't have sexual desires, but I guess... I understand..."
That caught Yuu's attention.
"Vampires don't have sexual desires?" he repeated, disbelief on his face. Mika nodded, kind of embarrassed talking about this with Yuu.
"Although we... well, we can get sexual pleasure and do sexual activities, we don't really have any sexual urges," he explained softly, almost as if someone was eavesdropping their conversation. "Actually all of our needs are replaced and blinded by the absolute and insatiable need of blood. Vampires are much stronger and more intelligent creatures than human, but their lust of blood break them."
"...wait," Yuu frowned, only catching a few things from Mika's explanation. "...Mika. How do you know you still can get sexual pleasure and do sexual activities?"
Mika was speechless and pale from that question. He just realized that he had just revealed something dangerous.
"...n, nah. Just... fellow vampires told me that-"
"Mika."
And now it was Yuu's turn staring at Mika sharply. "You... you have experiences in that thing... right?"
Mika's guilty-filled eyes was enough to answer Yuu's question. And that was enough to make his heart painful... Not because of jealousy because Mika had experienced something he had not. But it was because Mika did those kind of thing with... someone else, other than him. He did not know why or what that meant, but still. Shinoa's words were true. So Mika was really... doing things with that vampire queen...
"It... it was forced, Yuu-chan!" Mika quickly explained when he saw Yuu's eyes became dark. He was scared that Yuu would become disgusted with him. "I mean... uh..."
"I... I got it," the male human turned around, disappointment in his voice. "I think-"
"It's because of you, Yuu-chan!"
That earned a shocked stare from Yuu's emerald eyes. He looked back at Mika, who was looking at him with, although embarrassed, but honest stare.
"I... I got my sexual pleasures also mainly because of you... Yuu-chan..."

The end!
Nah, I'm kidding. It's just a cliffhanger (LOL) I still hope you all enjoy reading this failed piece *laugh*
Anyway, now Mika has come into the story, it will only become hotter from here, and many awkward and embarrassing moments await!
