NOTES::
Puptastic: xD Yes. Tensions high indeed. But you secretly wish they weren't different emotions because you know it's probably going to lead to adorable fluff!
Camui-Alexa: Yeah, I figured only five days after Deathly Hallows comes out, I update, so many people may not have been able to read/finish reading it. I would have finishedit in one day but I had a work meeting and then I had to close at work, so I didn't get a chance. And my boss is nice, but nothing like Kurisu. xD
Midori-Onigiri: All I really do is pour all of my emotions into these two adorable vampires. It's pretty much how I deal with stress and heartbreak and anger and such. I just go and write something and so it's all real emotions, just channeled through them. And when you said 'Kei's surprise', I honestly thought I had posted the wrong chapter because Kei gets a very big surprise in this one that you're all going to die over. xD
Daggergal: Haha, crazy weird things like that can make anyone laugh. xD And Kei acting like Sho's parent is always fun to read for some strange reason. I suppose it shows that he's still in control of their relationship or something.
Minako Sayaka: Sho's a total ass in the last chapter and Kurisu's always adorably caring. And when Kei gets in that mood, he can be a bit...crazy.
Camui Nakare: xD I would hope you don't break down doors...or resort to breaking down doors. That would really piss some people off. And YES! TWILIGHT! I LOVE THAT SERIES. The next one comes out in three days! I am so excited!
Kairi Angel: Well, Kurisu's the dean of medicine or the chief of surgery or something major like that, so she can do whatever the hell she wants. That and she's distantly related to hide, so her hair is, uh, secretly naturally pink.
Tenouharuka: I'm surprised you guys haven't tried to literally hunt Meredith down yet. xD She might get a bit more annoying, but not for a few chapters (I don't think)... And it is the end of an era for Harry Potter. I grew up with that series and now I have this hole in me that can't be filled (except maybe by the movies because I love Voldemort!), but she said she's going to write an encyclopedia, which I think will be like what JRR Tolkein did at the end of Return of the King - told what happened after the series ended.
Yes, you're all about to embark on a journey full of deliciously cute fluffiness. Enjoy!
Chapter Twelve – Making Up For It All
The doorbell rang suddenly in the middle of the afternoon, startling the sulking blonde vampire out of his moody stupor. Luckily, it was a heavily clouded day so Kei could answer the door and be startled by the sight that was before him. Sho was standing in the doorway looking unreservedly remorseful with a dozen blood red roses in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other. Kei gaped and said nothing, speechless, his chocolate-brown eyes wide.
"Uh, well, I expected you to say something first…" Sho confessed, a light blush spreading across his cheeks. "But I guess I'll have to." He cleared his throat and smiled softly at the still-stunned vampire, tilting his head to the side cutely. "I was a jerk last night. I've been a jerk for a while now without realizing it and I'm sorry. Angel…" Sho held out the champagne and the flowers, giving Kei a crooked grin that was simply irresistable. "Forgive me?"
Kei suddenly jumped up slightly and threw his arms around Sho's neck, hugging the taller vampire tightly and making a noise of forgiveness. "You didn't have to do all of this," Kei told him as he pulled the younger vampire inside and took the bottle and flowers from him to set on the kitchen table. "A simple apology would have been fine." He turned around to say something else, but found Sho down on one knee, staring up at him. The brunette took Kei's left hand and kissed the back of it.
"But this is so much more romantic," Sho purred, a hand going underneath his trench coat to pull out a golden box. "Chocolate?" Kei laughed and pulled Sho to his feet, grabbing the chocolate and tossing it onto the table behind him next to the roses and champagne. He brushed his lips past Sho's and ran his tongue along the seam, pleased when Sho parted his lips and darted his tongue out against Kei's hungrily.
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret
So I will not forget. I will not forget
How this felt one year six months ago
I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget
"Are you always going to apologize like this?" Kei breathed against Sho's lips as he curled his arms around Sho's neck.
"Only when I have a week off to make up for my behavior," Sho replied, a hand running idly down Kei's back.
"…What?" he asked, blinking.
"I'm taking a week off, love."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously," he replied firmly, placing a hand underneath Kei's chin. "Now, how can I make everything up to you?" A wide smile spread across Kei's face and small tears of happiness welled in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Sho's neck and crashed their mouths together. "Mmm…" Sho breathed, hands trailing down Kei's back lovingly as he gave himself completely to the vampire. "I think I know what you want…"
"I want you," Kei purred as he dragged Sho to the couch and pounced on him. "Over and over…and over…" He began to unbutton his lover's shirt, tongue licking at the slowly revealed skin ravenously. "And over…mmm…and over…" He paused, mouth sealing around one of Sho's nipples as a hand pressed against the back of his head encouragingly. "And over…"
"Angel," Sho breathed, staring at Kei with affectionate cerulean eyes.
"You have to make up for all of the times in the past few weeks that you've denied me," he told his lover sternly. A smirk tugged at Sho's lips.
"Then it's lucky that we have an entire week to do nothing but make love," he purred in response, hands wandering underneath Kei's peasant-cut blouse as a shudder went through the blonde. "With no interruptions…" Sho added in as Kei unzipped his pants and pulled them down enough to expose his arousal.
"With no interruptions," Kei repeated before he bowed his head and engulfed his lover's member…
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
As Kei sat on the couch the evening after Sho's week break (which had been nothing but bliss for the both of them) reading a book, enjoying the silence in the house for a change, a sweet voice suddenly echoed through the room from the front door. "Angel?" It said. Kei turned his head and sat up straighter, smiling at his lover's head poking around the partially closed front door.
"You're back early," he said, marking his page in the book and setting it on the nearby coffee table. "Any reason why, Sho?"
"I've got a surprise for you," Sho told him with a wink. "But—hold on—" And Sho's head disappeared, but Kei could hear him talking to something or someone out on the front doorstep. Curious and a bit confused, Kei moved to the other side of the couch closest to the front door.
"Sho-chan?" Kei called questioningly and within moments, Sho reappeared with a mysterious smile on his face as he stepped inside.
"I know that we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together since I started this job," Sho explained, shifting the front door open several inches. "And I know you've been really lonely without me here and I've been a huge jerk to you and you don't deserve it, so I decided…" But Sho stopped abruptly when something started nudging at the door. The brunette let out a moan of disappointment. "Hold on again." But when he turned around (letting go of the door), the thing on the other side barked and darted inside towards the couch where Kei sat.
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
Kei slid off the couch and knelt on the floor; immediately, the brown fluffy animal hopped up onto his lap and wagged its tail happily. "You got me a puppy?" he asked incredulously. "Oh, Sho-chan!" The blonde grinned and scratched the dog behind its ears, earning a happy bark and many rapid licks to his hand.
"Her name's Belle and she's a dachshund," Sho told him as he brought the carrier inside as well as a bag full of items for the puppy while Kei let Belle lick sloppily at his hand, watching the animal with amused and loving brown eyes. "She's only a few months old, too." A smile formed on his lips as he watched Kei talk to Belle adorably and pet her continuously.
"You're so cute," he cooed to the animal. "Although you can never replace my Sho-chan," Kei added as Sho knelt down in front of him.
"If she did, I'd kick her out," Sho said protectively. "So now you have a companion to play with and you can help her grow big and strong!"
"You sound like a commercial, love," Kei told him as he leaned forward, kissing Sho firmly as Belle trotted away from the couple to explore the area around them, sticking her nose into everything. The blonde sucked hard as their lips melded together, drawing Sho's tongue into his mouth and caressing it with his own tenderly. When they broke away, the brunette let out a shuddered breath.
"W-whoa," he said, staring into Kei's amused eyes. "I'll take that as a thank you and that you love your surprise?"
"That was only the thank you," Kei murmured seductively. "You haven't seen how much I love my surprise…" He shifted so he could rub his arousal against Sho's knee for a brief moment.
Sho laughed lightly, but it turned into a moan as the vampire captured his earlobe between his lips and began to attack Sho's ear with his tongue. "Oh Kei…"
"I assure you that you won't be disappointed with your reward," he breathed in Sho's ear roughly, earning a gasp from his lover. As his dog saliva-free hand began to trail up Sho's chest to start to unbutton Sho's shirt, a whimper caught his attention.
"I think Belle is hungry," Sho said, pushing Kei's hands away from his shirt hesitantly, but not before he let the deft fingers undo several of the buttons and trace longingly over the warm flesh.
So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
"Later," Kei assured as he stood up and headed over to the bag by the front door. As he rummaged through it, he said, "Wow, you really got everything for her!" Belle barked happily and trotted over to Kei's feet, nudging the side of the bag with her nose. The blonde dug out a plastic dish for the puppy and opened a smaller bag of dog food, pouring some into the bowl; immediately, Belle began to eat.
"She really is adorable," Sho said as he wrapped an arm around Kei's waist while they looked down at their new pet.
"I think she gets it from her mother," Kei said with a smirk, looking up at Sho.
"You are so mean!" he said loudly, realizing Kei meant him.
"I meant that as a teasing compliment!"
"You're comparing me to a dog!" Sho exclaimed.
"A cute dog," Kei protested, earning a smack on the shoulder from Sho. "I think she'll have fun exploring the house, at least."
"Do you think there's any place she shouldn't be allowed in?" Sho asked.
"Maybe just our bedroom when you're home," he replied. "So she can't interfere with anything going on…" The brunette smiled and kissed the top of Kei's head.
"Sounds good to me."
Kei looked up at Sho with a loving smile on his face and was glad when Sho's lips pressed against his own in an innocent kiss. "I love you," Kei murmured against his lover's petal soft lips. "You're so thoughtful and…"
"Amazing?" Sho suggested. The blonde grinned and nodded.
"I can agree to that," he replied sweetly as he curled his arms around Sho's torso and pressed himself against Sho's side. "So do we lock her out of the bedroom tonight or let you wait until you're begging me for it?"
"I do not beg!" Sho shot at the vampire as the blonde slid to stand in front of Sho.
"Mmm…but I'm sure I'll have you begging like…" He paused for a moment, trying to find a good comparison. Chocolate-brown eyes darted down to Belle, who was eating happily, and Kei finished his sentence. "Like a puppy."
Sho let out a choked moan and leaned down swiftly, mouth sealing over Kei's with a seductive growl as his tongue slid deeply into his lover's mouth and he gave the blonde a deliciously sensuous kiss that had him shaking. The taller wrapped his arms supportively around Kei and bent over, dipping the shorter vampire and feeling a squeak of shock muffled in his mouth.
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you
Their lips moved together madly, saliva passing between their mouths as their tongues battled hotly until the two vampires were fully aroused. Simultaneously, they both reached for the other's pants, unbuttoning the button with shaking fingers. They pulled their mouths away for a brief moment, smiling at each other until Sho dipped his head and began to ravish Kei's neck. The blonde let out a low moan and returned to unzipping Sho's pants as best as he could without being distracted by Sho's agile tongue against his skin.
Kei pulled down Sho's pants far enough to expose his lover's erection, gently caressing it and making Sho moan against his neck. As he wrapped his fingers around the hardened flesh, Sho dragged his fangs down Kei's neck, earning a gasp from the blonde vampire. "Again," Kei begged. He placed his free hand on the back of Sho's head and pushed so that the brunette's fangs dug into his skin and drew a small amount of blood.
Sho let out a surprised gasp; never before had the blonde let him do something like that, let along encourage him to do it. He had thought the stimulation of fangs sinking into his neck would bring back the memory of being created. But his gasp was cut off as the shorter vampire straddled his thigh and rocked against him in time with the pumps to his arousal.
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
"Kei…" Sho said against Kei's neck, lapping up the blood hungrily, barely able to control himself with the feeling of his lover's hardness rubbing against his thigh and his own arousal being tended to by a skillful hand.
"I love you," Kei murmured breathlessly as he worked Sho and himself closer and closer to completion. Sho pulled Kei into a deep kiss and grabbed his lover's hips, helping him grind into his thigh harder.
"Make me come," he gasped against Kei's lips, knowing that within a few more firm strokes of the vampire's hand, he would climax. Kei said nothing; he merely kissed Sho firmly and continued at the same fervent pace. His mind was so fogged with passion that he didn't notice when Sho stopped his rocking, unzipped his pants, and wrapped his hand around his erection.
Moments later, the vampires climaxed together, their essence spreading onto the other's hand. Kei looked up at Sho and smiled warmly, loving affection in his eyes, which Sho returned. The taller leaned in for a kiss but Kei stopped him with a look; reaching upwards with his dirty hand, he spread some of Sho's come all over his lover's lips and around his mouth; Sho smirked and did likewise to Kei.
They kissed slowly at first, letting the different essences mix together. But neither could help themselves and soon after, both vampires were licking at each other's lips and kissing hotly, unable to control their hunger to taste the other. Kei placed a hand on Sho's revealed chest, sliding it up to the back of Sho's neck while Sho let a hand trail underneath Kei's shirt, neither realizing that they were spreading their seed on the skin until they broke apart, their faces now clean.
"Oops," Kei said with a light blush.
"We'll just have to get clean, then," Sho said seductively, earning a smile from Kei. But he dropped the seductiveness from his tone and then said, "What I did…it didn't bring back that memory, did it?" But Kei continued to smile and replied:
"What memory?" Sho smiled as well as the blonde continued, "Sho-chan, you've just erased any horrible memory I have of any unpleasant experiences." Kei reached up with his clean hand and touched the healing punctures. "Mmm…sexy." Sho let out a giggle.
"'Sexy', Kei?" he asked, an eyebrow arching as they both fixed their pants, straightening up their appearances as best as they could.
"Yes, Sho-chan, sexy," Kei reiterated with a laugh, wrapping his arms around Sho's neck securely, uncaring that his lover's essence was now spreading onto his arms. "Just like you…"
"Mmph," Sho replied as he pressed his lips against Kei's. "Shouldn't we be paying attention to your puppy, Kei?"
"Hey, you're the one that just kissed me!" he protested. "And the one that bought the puppy!" Sho simply smiled and glanced down at Belle, who was finishing her dinner and was looking around for a bowl of water to get a drink from. He turned back to Kei to say something, but lost his words when he found the vampire licking his arm clean and giving him a smoldering look.
"I-I'll get her some water then," he stammered, blushing crimson as he watched a devious smirk form on his lover's now-dirty lips. But before he had the chance to turn and go to the sink, Kei had leaned down and licked at the seed still spread onto his chest, elicting another moan from him…
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
That night, the vampires curled up in bed with Belle lying at their feet. They watched her poke at the comforter below her, then shake her head and settle back down again. Smiling, Sho cuddled up underneath Kei's neck and placed a soft kiss on the skin there.
"You're welcome," Sho murmured before Kei had even opened his mouth to speak.
"I actually wasn't going to thank you for Belle, love," Kei replied, arms wrapping around Sho tightly as he absentmindedly massaged one of Sho's shoulders.
"What were you going to say then?"
"…I don't remember."
Sho lifted his head up and smiled at Kei. Without a word, he leaned forward and devoured Kei's mouth in a firm kiss, tongue roaming over every inch of his lover's mouth. He sucked hard and drew the blonde's tongue into his own mouth; the brunette pulled away slightly and caressed Kei's tongue with his lips. Finally, he pulled away with an innocent smack of his lips. "Do you remember now?" Sho asked huskily, licking his lips.
"I forgot what we were even talking about," Kei replied, looking dazed. "But I don't care…"
"Do we need to kick Belle-chan out tonight, angel?" he asked, placing tender kisses along Kei's jaw. "I don't know if I can wait until morning for you to make love to me…"
"Mmm…you're going to have to," Kei replied, but his words were cut short as Sho leaned forward and let his tongue ravish at his ear. The blonde clutched at Sho and whimpered, pressing himself against Sho so his lover could feel him harden against his thigh. "S-stop or we'll never get to sleep," he breathed, not really meaning what he said, but Sho obeyed nonetheless.
"I love how I can completely unwind you," Sho said with a satisfied smirk before he curled up against Kei and they both slipped into blissful sleep…
Falling into memories of you and things we used to do…

See? Doesn't Sho make up for things so adorably? I mean, he bought Kei a puppy! And not just any puppy—Gackt's puppy! And I know I skipped out on the smut at the beginning of the chapter, but hey, you got to see them making out deliciously.
And for those of you that stalk my fanfiction account constantly, you've noticed I've updated some things, mainly my age (which I should have changed months ago) and the process of this fic. But I added something else: a fic title. Not under this series, no, but under the normal fanfiction part. Something titled "May You Wake to Find It Was Only Ever a Dream" with an "Under plot construction" after it. Yes, I'm working on another fic, but I have to work out everything still. And no, I won't tell you whether it's Moon Child or something else, you'll just have to wait!
School starts up in less than a month. Granted I can put up with it since I get out in the beginning of May, but still. August 23 is way too early to be starting school! Oh and while I'm thinking of it, the scene with Sho kind of feeding from Kei's neck shows how trustworthy he believes Sho to be and how he's gotten over his fear of fangs sinking into necks...or something.
And uh, the next chapter is going to have more smut in it. Because I'm in that mood. But blame Gackt and his new ability to dance and turn everyone on. xD To know what I'm talking about, go to Youtube and type in the search bar: 'Nine Spiral Speed Master Drug Party'. He has learned how to dance. And damn well, might I add.
Reviews are appreciated and make me forget about school!
