A/N: So the lack of chapters at the moment is actually because I'm sick, like bedridden and had to get a CT scan yesterday sick. I wrote this little drabble on my laptop lying down which was awkward but lying down is the only way to lessen the dizziness currently and I'm getting writing withdrawals again XD We only have suspicions as to whats wrong and will hopefully find out today for sure!
But in the mean time, have some Aki!bat:
Akihito had been going through a 'I am a super being of the night, you can't treat me like this' phase. This would be more convincing if he didn't conveniently ignore that mantra when food was involved or hadn't taken to roosting in Asami's tie rack. There was more than one occasion when he had noticed the wardrobe slightly ajar, but thinking nothing of it, thrown open the door only to be confronted by a sleepy, disgruntled bat. As such, he had installed various hanging locations just for Akihito in the penthouse. He had yet to receive any thanks for the effort but the young vampire actually using them was thanks enough.
Life was certainly more interesting now that he was so closely tied to the young vampire. So closely linked that Akihito could no longer feed from anyone but Asami. A discovery that sparked this entire rebellious phase. After checking in with Fei Long, the head vampire for one of the large vampire houses, it turns out that they had unwittingly formed a 'symbiotic bond'.
Every time a vampire feeds a little bit of venom is injected into their prey, it's what helps the healing process for the wound. Over time, a vampire feeding on only one human means that they are slowly building up more and more of this venom in their body. The effect was to mutual benefit. Akihito got a steady supply of blood that was slowly changing to fit his needs and tastes perfectly. In return, Asami got increased life span, stronger immune system, and sharper senses. It was a bond rarely seen in modern times but had been much more common in the past. They could quite possibly be together, side by side, for many hundreds of years. The longer they stayed together, however, the more likely they wouldn't survive if they lost the other. They would become so dependent on each other that it was considered a bond stronger than any marriage or pact.
Asami was thrilled to have such a cute, interesting, and amusing life mate. Akihito on the other hand, was going through his vampiric teenaged rebellion.
He stared at the mutinous looking bat that was once again hanging on his tie rack. It appeared that the next stage of his rebellion was to ignore the conveniently placed hanging points and instead roost in his wardrobe again. It was kind of cute though. A little bat with big eyes and a pout surround by colourful ties. He reached out and gently scratched the fluffy head exactly how he liked but he just earned himself a scowl and a huff. Changing tact, Asami removed his shirt as he walked over to his bedside table. There he found a small needle and used it to carefully pick his finger. Akihito hadn't eaten in days and he wasn't above using such methods.
Asami had just turned around when something whacked him in the side of the face. The tug of feet curling into his hair and the small bat face that appeared to cover his vision answered his question as to what had happened. He held up his finger for Akihito to suckle at enthusiastically. He must be even hungrier than he realised. It was rather difficult to see with a bat hanging off his hair and over his face but he managed to manoeuvre his way to the bed. Sitting back against the headboard, he gently removed the little bat from his hair and placed him down on the blankets between his legs.
"Come now, Akihito," Asami said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, "There's more where that came from if you'd just change back."
A blonde vampire now sat between his knees with the same pout in place as the small bat had. Asami titled his head to the side to display his neck and watched with amusement as Akihito's red eye's flashed as his hunger took over him.
"You don't have to be so smug about it, bastard."
Asami drew Akihito forward so that he was straddling his lap and pressed his head down to his neck. "Ah, but I am quite pleased with having you as mine." A warm tongue licked at his flesh as the vampire sought out the perfect spot to sink his fangs into. He would have though Akihito would know without the need for that now. Unless of course, that was all part of the fun.
"Yeah, well. It goes both ways," Akihito reminded him before scraping his fangs over his skin warningly.
"It does," Asami replied solemnly. That seemed to give Akihito pause before he sank his fangs into Asami's neck. There was no pain now, only a thrill of pleasure that ran down his spine at the action. With a wicked smirk, Asami ran his hands down Akihito's sides before slipping his hands under the waistband of his pants. He pulled a moan from the vampire at his neck as he squeezed the flesh he found there.
Feeding time was always pleasurable for them both now that he had worked out how to get what he wanted before Akihito passed out in a food coma. Then he would have a little snoozing bat companion come to work with him that afternoon for the first time in nearly a week.
