Chapter 2: Struggle and Temptation

---

Yuuri woke up as a soft light shone onto his face. His throat felt dry. He looked outside to the window then around him. He was on his own bed and it looked like night was approaching. He felt something move beside him as the pressure on the bed changed and he turned his face.

Wolfram had fallen asleep beside him. Had Wolfram stayed with him the whole time he had been unconscious? Now Yuuri smiled and then felt sad at his heart. He really didn't give Wolfram the credit that he deserved.

Yuuri sat up on the bed and, suddenly, he felt that scent hit him again. He felt as is was swooning and was worried that he would faint again. The smell was over powering.

Yuuri pinched his nose, scrunching his still adorable face and looked all around the room. Where could that damn smell be coming from? It was making him go crazy.

Yuuri was smart so he knew what he had too be done. Steadying himself, he let go of is nose and carefully sniffed around himself. He sniffed from his one side to the other.

Wohhh… Wolframs side smelled that delicious smell like crazy. Slightly fearing that unexplainable smell, Yuuri pinched his nose again.

He now knew the source of the aroma. It was Wolfram. He took another little sniff to confirm his suspicions. His nose tingled. Yup it was Wolfram alright. Yuuri wanted to continue smelling the smell. It was like a heavenly mouth-watering scent that called out to him like some forbidden fruit luring him. The scent was not something he could describe just, that it was something that he would never forget. It was burned into his nose and he would never forget it, even if he wanted too.

He looked at Wolfram's peacefully sleeping face. Yuuri could see himself kissing those soft looking lips. He could just about imagine caressing that gorgeous face and running his fingers down Wolfram's enticing looking neck and feel his skin shiver under his touch as his own fingers……

Yuuri was surprised with himself. How could he be thinking these thoughts? Wasn't Wolfram just his friend… his close companion…or… was he somehow meant to be more then that?… what was going on???… What was happening?...

Swiftly, Yuuri looked around for the book he had gotten from the library. He searched, slightly panicked, until he found it. Yes it was right there on his bed side table. With out stretched finger's he reached for it. Maybe this would help explain his new found irresistible attraction to Wolfram. Or maybe he had always loved the blond like that in some way in it was just now that love had surfaced from the depths of his heart. The depths that he himself was scared to acknowledged? Perhaps. Yuuri' thoughts were in a chaotic jumble, one that he wished to sort out.

Quickly he flipped through the pages, anxious to find something that would help him in this dilemma.

His eyes scanned the headings that flew by. He would read all of this but first he must read what he really needed: To understand that alluring smell.

Finally he had found it. With one hand pinching his nose he pointed his index finger at the text and began to read.

"All new vampires will experience a smell that they will be unfamiliar to. This scent will be exceptionally overpowering and will seem quite enthralling and seem to be the most sweetest of all scents…"

Yes, Yuuri thought that this did seem like what he was looking for. Eagerly he read on.

"This 'smell' that new vampires experience is the delicious smell if our most nourishing substance, blood…"

What!?

"But not just any blood but, the blood from he who is most suited for their need. It is advised to vampires to become well acquainted with these people (who radiate this smell) for their blood will be most nourishing and divine. Most of the time these to individuals will become mates or lovers to their vampire companion. The smell also varies from vampire to vampire. One being who smells lovely to one vampire may not to another, it all depends on the vampires tastes…"

Yuuri stopped for a second. He had to first take all that in. If he understood everything, then this meant that the lovely smell was Wolfram's warm blood that was calling to him and that it would be his blood that Yuuri would find the sweetest.

And that meant that Wolfram was likely to become his lover…? Yuuri doubted that. He saw Wolfram as his most closest friend of that he was sure but, even he was beginning to doubt that because his feeling towards Wolfram were changing as well and were not all solidly 'just friend' as he had thought they were.

Yuuri carefully committed all that he had read to memory. He needed to know this stuff, but he needed more information. The best place to get this information would be to go to someone who had already experienced this. Who knew about this.

The person that came up to his mind was his...mother. Well it would be hard to get his mother to explain things properly (she being the way she was) but she was all he knew, and she was his mother. He would feel more comfortable asking her then a complete stranger.

Yuuri thought about the blood part. He wondered how it would taste. He remembered when earlier he had cut his finger and had sucked on the blood that formed in the cut like beads of red. It had tasted all…ewww. It tasted all metallic and such. Did he really want to taste that metallic taste again or, maybe the taste had now changed since he was a vampire. Everything else about him seemed to change so why not this little things. His mind was changing, his body was changing and his feelings too.

Basically Yuuri didn't really want to try blood. It seemed to look disgusting. He had never been one for blood and gore but being his curious self he thought he might eventually try-after he got past the fact that it was blood. That would take some time.

"Mmm…Yuuri?" Wolfram eyes opened drowsily. He looked at Yuuri his eyes still full oh sleep.

Yuuri tried to breathe as less as possible. He swore the scent that Wolfram gave off was going to drive him crazy. "Ya?..."

Wolfram rubbed his eyes and tried to move golden strands of hair from his crystal eyes. He blinked and the fair hair fell back. "Yuuri do you feel better?"

"Yes I do." Yuuri held his breath.

"Why did you faint?" Wolfram looked at Yuuri with his questioning eyes. Wolfram was really worried about Yuuri and even in his sleepy state the concern shone through.

"Oh, that was because of all the dust in the room and the books. Sometimes it makes it hard to breath you know, so, I faint." He hoped that answer would satisfy Wolfram. He didn't want to take advantage of Wolfram when he was like this but he couldn't just tell Wolfram the truth… that he himself was a vampire and Wolfram scent had been so sweet and so strong that Yuuri had been unable to handle it. Wolfram was talking and hastily Yuuri listened.

"…Gunter is so weird so, I will get all the servants to dust everything clean so you don't faint again." Slowly Yuuri saw Wolfram head sinking back into his pillow and him slipping back into unconsciousness.

"Wolfram," Wolfram eyes closed and he mumbled a 'yes' as he pulled the blanket up. "…Thank you…"

Wolfram's face flushed red from the thanks even as he went to sleep again.

Yuuri smiled. Wolfram really did like to sleep and could only not do so for awhile. Yuuri chuckled softly.

Yuuri released the breath he had been holding and took in a breath. The sweet smelled filled his nose and then his whole body. It felt so desirable. Such a sweet smell it was. Like everything Yuuri could ever want was portrayed in that single scent. Sweet could not begin to describe it.

With out being very aware of what he was doing, Yuuri moved closer to Wolfram until his face was just above the blonds head full of blond waves. Yuuri breathed deep and sighed with the scent in him. He wasn't even really aware when his mouth started to feel full (he didn't realize he was sprouting fangs that vampires were so famous for). He didn't notice that his fangs were coming out. His eyes half closed, Yuuri bent lower still until his mouth was directly above Wolfram's neck.

With half lidded eyes as if he were hypnotized, he gazed at Wolfram's porcelain neck and sensed the warm blood coursing through it. His warm breath fell on Wolfram's neck.

Some where from Wolfram's unconscious mind he said in his sleep, "Yuuri…"

Suddenly with that word as a knife, the word slashed through his hypnotized and dazed state so he was once again completely aware of everything around him.

As soon as he realized what he had been about to do, he jerked himself back. He was horrified by himself. Was he some animal who could not control his urges? He pinched his nose again as a safety measure. Yuuri would have to learn how to exercise control over him self.

Yuuri decided that the best thing to do right now would be sleep on the floor and not beside Wolfram where he was likely to be tempted. He didn't know if he would be able to control himself again, though he would try of course. He wouldn't want to do anything to Wolfram with out Wolfram knowing. He didn't know what the blond soldier would do if he did.

Swiftly and softly, Yuuri went over to the tall mahogany, wooden Chester drawer and quietly pulled one of them open. Peering inside, even in the dark, (his vision was already better then normal) he took out two thick sheets. Yuuri put his entire mind into his task. He did it with single-mindedness. He spread out the sheets onto the floor beside the bed and lay himself down. He found another sheet to put over him and made himself as comfortable as he could be.

Then he thought. What had he almost done??? He rubbed his eyes with his fingers. He needed help. He needed to know what he should do. That meant he had to go to his mother. Yuuri sighed and again replayed over everything that had happened in his mind. He had almost given in to the lure of Wolfram's blood. He didn't know what to do. He was only glad that Wolfram was had not been conscious to witness that. What would have Wolfram thought about Yuuri then?

Thoughts tormented Yuuri's mind and in the end, before he went t o sleep, he made up his mind about what step he would take next. He knew what he was going to do… Tomorrow he would go to earth.
