Side Story: I'm so tired AP Exams are brutal I don't care about your snail like writing or your crazy mother collegeboard nor do I care about the ways of the world! There was so much writing I thought I'd cry...it was so much, I'm looking foward to mother's day somewhat so I can give my mom some gifts...How are you guys doing?

On with the story!

Squinting the blonde sat up as he adjusted his vision in accordance to the sun.

When did I get to the beach? I feel so much better all of a sudden...sleep is magical.

He stretched his limbs as he got up from his lounge chair and spotted his iPod in the sand.

"Shit, must've slipped out of my pocket. Hope it's not broken." His shoulders slumped as brushed the tan grain off of his device.

Relaxing in his chair he propped his legs up and pulled his earbuds out of his swimming trunks, connected it to his gadget and allowed himself to unwind with the book he had brought.

Thank God none of my brother's are around they're always too noisy.

After finishing the page he was on he snickered.

Erica totally deserves that, who even lies about having a boyfriend she's dumb and she's trying to steal her best friend's boyfriend too? What a slut.

As the drama died down on the pages Shu's eyelids started to droop, and after re-reading the same page for the eighth time he gave up and closed his book.

Vying for the most comfortable position possible meant getting rid of his shirt and at this point it stuck to Shu like second skin.

He relished his moment of serenity.

"Babe, wake up."

Who the hell is trying to wake me up? That doesn't sound like Yui, whoever this bitch is had better leave me the hell alone.

The blonde ignored the voice of the unfamiliar female.

"Stop pretending to be asleep."

A slim soft finger trailed along Shu's toned chest as she sat on his lap she whispered in the male's ear, "I know what'll wake you up."

How dare she have the audacity to try to touch me like she owns me? Who the hell does this girl think she is! I think this definitely counts as some form of harassment.

The young woman made herself comfortable as Shu tried to sit up and call the girl out he fell silent as a new sensation overwhelmed him, he was shocked at the electricity this physical contact brought, she engaged him in a kiss.

Before he could fully register was going on she pulled away caressing his face.

"Shu, are you okay?"

Slowly the blonde's eyes fluttered open his voice wavered in concern and fear how could someone evoke such emotions from him with just physical contact, "Who are you?"

Ray's of the sun made it more difficult for Shu's eyes to adjust, he couldn't quite define her features but he knew she looked displeased, "It's me—"

"Hey Shu wake up! You've been sleeping forever it's time for today's lesson."

"The hell, who told you that you could come in here to wake me up?!" The blonde glared.

Ayato shrugged, "No one, now let's get started it's almost three in the afternoon then we'll have night classes at five."

"Look I'm sorry but I don't feel that great right now to be honest, let's cancel for today."

"We can't! All that empathy shit and stuff actually worked and when I talked to Yui yesterday night she was all over me! Imagine what she'd do if I learned how to be even nicer?!" The redhead whined.

Shu furrowed his blonde brows his eyes were as sharp as daggers, "I swear to God you're as big a pervert as your twin Laito and just as ungrateful Kanato."

Keeping his eyes shut, the elder vampire felt around his nightstand before grabbing his earbuds and listening to music.

"In case you didn't get the message, go away."

Noisily the enraged redhead pulled out Shu's buds and tossed his iPod across the hall, "You're just as lazy and useless as Reiji says!" Ayato's eyes glowed gold as his temper flared.

Unfazed one azure eye peeled open, "So you really are just one of them. Soulless vampires who care for nothing but themselves. I'm disappointed in you for your little temper tantrum. I can't believe your hormonal perversion is enough motivation for you to…" The blonde paused before continuing.

"You know what just leave me alone, I don't care, I don't know what I was thinking or why I bothered being honest with you and being vulnerable." Shu mumbled voice cracking.

Ayato tore the sheets off the former, "Maybe you need lessons on how to be vampire Shu, you seem to be forgetting after interacting with humans for so long." He poked at his chest.

Both of the elder vampire's eyes grew wide for a second before narrowing again a lethal shade of orange, "In the words of Reiji 'your manners are simply deplorable' learn your place you whiny bastard. I'm ten times the vampire that you are. And I've awakened my full power since before the age of ten. You think you're such hot shit just because you're eyes can change color?"

Shu stood to his full height speaking with an even tone, "You must've forgotten, I could've frozen the veins that pump blood to your brain and killed you a long time ago. This is my room so get your selfish ass out of here."

The blonde's heartbeat sped up he quietly panted but tried to hide it, "By the way, Ore-sama," he spat, "It smells like Yui's bleeding, you'd better watch her closer otherwise I might just snatch her away from you, baby brother." Shu sneered blue eyes ominous and haunting.

At a loss for words Ayato shot Shu one last nasty glance before taking his leave.

"It looks like I'm not such a great teacher if you still don't know what empathy or sympathy is, do you?"

Once the troublemaker was out of sight Shu sank to the floor he suppressed his screams and settled for whimpers and groans, his throat felt like it was on fire.

He crawled down the stairs and made his way to the kitchen, "Where the hell are those blood packs?!"

After practically yanking the refrigerator door off it's hinges he grabbed some O positive packs and shoved them into the microwave messing up the settings a couple of times.

Starving he paced back and forth as he waited for the blood to heat up to mock the standard temperature in humans, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."

The microwave hummed signaling the completion of allotted time, "Thank God!"

Settling down Shu elongated his sore fangs and embraced his true nature as he tore into the first ten packs he warmed but it did nothing for him.

"God damnit!" Immediately the blonde reached for another ten packs and hurled them into the microwave slamming it's door shut and waited.

Another hum. He drank. Another hum. He drank.

And for some reason...

It.

Still.

Wasn't.

Enough.

His hands were shaking so he tossed another bunch in, but he couldn't wait for another three minutes for the microwave's compliance; he grabbed the pouches before they were done and sucked them dry this went on for what felt like an eternity.

Dragging his feet along with the rest of his body the teen shuffled into the bathroom to wash his face. The cold water cooled his head and helped him collect himself a tad; he looked into his reflection and saw that his eyes were a swirling mix or orange and red.

Shit, I need to do something about this quick before I lose myself to hunger.

Marching into the kitchen, the prince tore open the sacks not caring if it spilled and made a mess of the kitchen. His red lips quivered, his already bloody fangs pierced into yet another pint of donated blood.

Losing focus Shu's vision clouded, the entire room was a blur.

What's happening to me? I need to get out of here!

Glancing once more at his reflection he took note of his dual colored eyes: red and orange.

Everything is going to be okay…

"So what is it you dragged me in here to do, Ayato?" Subaru barked as he plopped onto a brown leather couch with his legs propped up.

"To talk about our NEET of a brother!"

The younger male's eyes widened at his older brother's choice of words, "Are you talking about Shu?!"

Snarling the redhead leaned against the pool table with his arms crossed, "Of course I'm talking about him! Who else would it be?!"

"Well what happened?"

"I asked our bum of a brother Shu to continue with our um...private sessions in here and he said no! He refused me, Ore—I mean uh, never mind. All that matters is that Shu broke his promise."

Stroking his pale hand under his chin Subaru's analytical gaze grew more critical, "Did you ask Shu why he couldn't or did you just explode?"

Ayato huffed, "Why does it matter? He lied to me, he broke a promise."

Just like Cordelia! Just like Richter! Just like that man! No one truly cares about me! It's every man for himself! But I thought Shu was different…

Against his will the prince's emerald eyes grew foggy, his vision blurred.

"Look, I know how it feels to be let down but you hadn't noticed how when we were done with that bet yesterday Shu didn't teleport into his room like he usually does?"

"So what we have super speed? He probably sped into his room."

"That's why I'd like to believe, but I heard heavy, sagging, depressed footsteps. On his toes Shu sounded like a dead man walking, not one of the strongest pure blooded vampires around."

Emerald locked on ruby, "What're you suggesting, Subaru?"

"For Shu to be this weak he might be—"

Reiji materialized into the room out of nowhere and went straight to organizing darts, "Why are you two just loitering about? Start getting ready for school. We leave in less than an hour."

"Let's talk outside." The redhead mouthed.

The albino shook his head, "Hey Reiji what do you think about Shu?"

"He's a lowlife, mooching, waste of space, he—"

"Shut up!" Ayato screamed.

Subaru apologized for the formers outburst before the black haired vampire could bestow consequences, "We mean his behavior. Have you noticed anything strange?"

The eldest shrugged, "Of course, it doesn't take a genius to spot a blood deprived vampire."

Ayato and Subaru shared a look, "For about how long?"

"At minimum at least two months at maximum since Ayato declared Yui as his, for some reason he respects your wishes."

The two thanked Reiji before taking their leave.

"I thought you concerned about Shu, but you couldn't even recognize his anemic behavior! At this rate he could easily go beserk! If you really knew anything about empathy you would've at least asked Shu why he couldn't teach you anything and see if he's okay!"

Plopping down on a stone bench by the rose garden outside the redhead held his head in his hands.

"It looks like we found out why Shu's been feeling tired...or in his case more tired than usual."

"How was I supposed to know?" Ayato croaked.

Subaru laughed, "You weren't supposed to know, but you should've cared. Plus there's a simple solution to this."

With a raised brow the older vampire urged him to go on.

"Just offer Yui, after all she was meant to be shared between the six of us in the first place."

Underneath his skin Ayato's blood was boiling, "How could you suggest something as ridiculous as that?! In case you didn't know Yui is mine! Blood. Body. And Soul."

The white haired teen stared at his brother with contempt, "You really haven't learned anything, have you?"

Rising up angrily he agreed, "I guess not."

Splitting ways, Subaru went to his room to change for school and get ready while Ayato had a different agenda.

I'm so hyped for Attack on Titan season 2 and YuGiOh VRAINS! Speaking of which I watched the new YuGiOh movie 'Dark Side of Dimensions' Seto is the MVP! in the words of the Abridged he takes 'Screw the rules I have money' to a whole new level!

Shout-outs to!:

Melissaane29: Your review makes me feel awesome, thank you! There will be plenty of twists and turns ahead ;)

MariTivolli: I think Shu just isn't motivated enough after losing Edgar, I feel like he's a victim of circumstance. I feel like I might like Kanato more if he wasn't so underdeveloped as a character all we know about him is that he likes sweets and acts like a child. I'm glad you're a fan of where the ship has set sail :)

Spiritual-Sister: Uh, thanks for the reminder I suppose :)

Deathstar101: What you think with how the story's progressing so far? Do you have any predictions?

Melissaanne29: I'll try to incorporate previews when possible since you'd like them I'm currently working on chapter 17 but I haven't got enough material, you know? XD

Azure Shine: I didn't really have them get along so I didn't think it was too OOC. Personally considering Reiji burnt down an entire village just to spite Shu instead of being upfront with how he feels that makes him a bad guy in my book. He pretends to act mature and better than everyone when he isn't so he's not really fit to be king, but that's just my opinion and I can see how Shu's laziness is problematic.
