Uwaa! I'm back with this story^^ hope this chapter works for you my lovelies ^^ Kinda part pointless, part fluff, part gap filling in... you all know, usual when I have slight writers block
AN - I don't own D. Gray - Man
Silver eyes stared blearily at stone wall, his bored mind came up with nothing of interest to distract him from his predicament, the dull clanking of the chains only occurred during his brief movements to adjust his body into a more comfortable position, not that anything could truly considered comfortable when one was shackled as he was. It had been hours since the red head had performed tests on him, hours that felt like days as his hunger grew.
A slick muscle ran over his dry pink lips, his body had been craving the forbidden nectar that flowed under every mammalian skin for days now, and his hunger had yet to be sated in all those days, the man dubbed Kanda had seen to that. Teeth ground together in anger at the thought of the man. Allen swore, the second he was out of the binds Kanda would suffer a fate worse than death.
The sound of the trap door opening and shutting alerted him to his visitor, his nose sniffing the air as he huffed. Speak of the devil.
"Here to kill me?" his voice carried to the Japanese, the man carrying an expression of great distain.
"I wish," the man snarled, his long body coming into view starting with his booted feet carrying up the long legs before Allen saw his arms carrying a tray full of food, "as it is, I've been demoted to baby sitter."
"It's not like I enjoy this either," the vampire snapped back, "I didn't asked to be tied down and poked with needles and measured."
"Che," Kanda retorted, the tray of food landing on the small side table beside Allen's bed, "you probably enjoyed that."
"Not as much as you did," the vampire smirked, "was that your sword I felt or were you just happy to straddle me?"
A glinting katana appeared seemingly out of nowhere in front of the silver irises, the man holding it appearing to be in a horrendous mood.
"One more word," Kanda seethed, "and I'll dissect you, piece by piece."
"Do that," Allen challenged, "and your precious scientist won't find a cure."
"Heh," the samurai laughed cruelly, "I thought I told you, the only damn cure for you is decapitation! And don't call Lavi MINE!"
"Aww," the vampire simpered, "are you ashamed of loving a man?"
"I'm warning you-"
"-or is it that you bottom?"
"SON OF A-"
"Kanda!"
The deadly sword stopped not a millimeter in front of the creamy throat, the look on Kanda's face enough to scare a lesser person ten times over. Both cobalt and silver stared at each other in defiance, neither one backing down or relinquishing their position while Lave ran down the stone steps.
"I told you, don't kill him!" Lavi practically yelled at Kanda, the hand reaching towards the sword shakily before the Japanese growled at him.
"He insulted me," Kanda snarled, "he-"
"I don't care what he told you," Lavi retorted, "we need. Him. Alive."
"He's better off dead," the Japanese whispered, sheathing his sword all the same, his hair whipping as he turned to take to the stairs, "you'll regret that Lavi."
"W-wait," the red head stammered, "where are you going, you're supposed to-"
"I am NOT feeding that THING!" Kanda yelled from his place on the stairs, his head turned to glare at Kanda, "this entire damn is ludicrous, this very idea is insane; you cannot think to treat it like a human!"
"Kanda!"
The slam of the trap door cut off the red heads next words, the man flinching as the vibrations echoed through the stone room. Sighing slightly, Lavi turned his green eye to smile softly at the boy.
"I'm sorry about him," he said apologetically, "he's just-"
"-an ass?" Allen finished skeptically, his eyebrow raised as he glowered at the man, "you're no better."
"Oh come now," the man laughed nervously, "I'm not that bad-"
"You were the one who had me tied down and tested," Allen snapped, "he at least had the decency to keep my pants on!"
"He was going to kill you-"
"Would've been a helluva lot more dignified than this!" the vampire screeched, tugging harshly at his binds as he attempted to get closer to the red head, his teeth snapping exposing glinting canines to the faint light, "at least I'd be free!"
"And you'll be free once I've found a cure!" Lavi told him exasperatedly, "it's barely been day, give me time, I'll find an answer-"
"WHY DO YOU GIVE A DAMN!"
Lavi remained frozen at the demon's outburst, his green eye widening for a moment before the sighed, his body turning to the food Kanda had practically slammed on the table
"That's my business," he murmured softly, the spoon stirring the hearty stew, beef and potato chunks mixing in with the carrots and onions, "now, why don't you have something to eat."
The whole feeding process had been excruciating for the two of them, Allen refusing to eat while Lavi tried to force spoonful after spoonful down Allen's throat, the result ending up in having some of it dribble down the chin and onto the pristine white shirt the vampire wore.
"Look, if you would just," Lavi grunted as he tried one more unsuccessful attempt at getting food into the slim body, sighing for what felt like the umpteenth time in the night, the spoon replaced in the dish before laced beside the small salad prepared for the boy. "Would you please just eat something!"
"Sure," Allen agreed, "stick out your arm."
"Ha ha," the red head muttered sarcastically, "no such luck, you are officially off blood until you kick that habit!"
"The dependency isn't psychosomatic," the white-haired man growled through gritted teeth, "I need it to survive! The same way you need water or oxygen!"
"Right, that's what all addicts say," Lavi murmured rolling his eyes, "you'll be curbed of his habit in no time!"
The half-ling grumbled in anger, but said nothing coherent, his head rolling around on the pillow as he tried to remove the sauce from his chin, an idea sliding into his mind, a smile slipping onto his features before he rolled over to look at the redhead.
"Could you at least get this stuff off my chin?" the boy asked looking over to Lavi, "it's humiliating to be seen like this by anyone!"
"Huh, oh, yeah sure," the redhead murmured absently, his hand reaching for a white napkin placed gently on the tray, "here we go."
Allen had to conceal his grin as the red head reached over to wipe off the remnants of stew from his lips, the artery in the wrist pulsing, sweet blood flowing through the man's veins calling to the creature, his insatiable hunger growing ever more prominent as his target moved ever so slowly towards him, the canines daring to elongate at the thought of his feast.
A hand clasped over the exposed wrist, both green and silver eyes looking up in shock at Kanda, the Japanese man having swiftly made his way down to the cellar, his hand pulling the other's back while his eyes glared at both Lavi and Allen.
"I thought I told you," he whispered dangerously, "you'd regret this."
"Huh?" Lavi asked, his eyes looking from his friend's to the vampire, "but-Yuu-what are you-huh?"
"He was tricking you into letting him suck you dry," the man told him jerking his head in Allen's direction, "and you fell for it, hook, line, and sinker."
"Wh-bu-but I was just going to-
His shocked green eye looked over at the vampire, the normally beautiful face twisted into a sneer as he glared at the two of them, his fangs having grown in his hunger and unquenchable thirst.
"Damn you," he practically growled at Kanda, "what do you care?! I wasn't going to kill him, I just wanted something to tide me over for the next little while; besides, gives you an excuse to kill me right!?"
"Who said I needed a damned excuse!" the Japanese snapped, "I just didn't want to give you any pleasure before death!"
The monster growled at his remark, but said nothing more on the matter, his silver eyes glowering at the man while he took the napkin from a very confused Lavi before he suddenly and quickly straddled the boy, his other hand fisting the soft white locks, pinning the vampire to the mattress despite the struggling creature's efforts.
"No, damn you," Allen growled, his eyes scrunching tightly at the pain of having been forcibly pinned to the bed, "let me go!"
"You want a clean face, fine!" Kanda growled while he harshly rubbed the white material over the boy's chin and mouth, a snapping of teeth heard as the fist connected with the jaw, the vampire wincing at the slight pain while the elder on top of him smirked. "There, all nice and clean, hope you're happy you damned vampire."
Allen bit and snapped as best he could, his efforts fruitless as the man was far too quick for him to be caught in any sort of trick or trap the creature could try.
"One of these days," Allen seethed, "I'll drain you dry."
"Look at that Yuu," Lavi interrupted happily, "he's only known you for a day and he likes you already!"
"Shut up, you damned rabbit!" Kanda snapped angrily over his shoulder, "you were very nearly his most recent victim and you're JOKING about this?!"
"Aw c'omon, Yuu," Lavi laughed nervously, "you heard him, we wasn't gonna kill me-"
"Right, just make you into a mindless puppet for his uses!"
"He wouldn't do that-"
"Considering it only works on weak minds, yeah I could," the vampire interjected smirking, causing the blush to cover Lavi's face, "you're too easy."
"Told you," Kanda muttered, "barely been with him a day and he's already got you pegged."
The red head laughed nervously while he rubbed the back of his head, his green eye looing from Kanda to Allen and back again.
"Well then," Lavi murmured, "since I'm so weak and all, looks like you'll have to feed him then!"
"What!?" both voices exclaimed in unison, the eyes looking at the man in a mixture of utter shock and horror while he practically skipped up the stairs.
"Don't want me being bewitched now do we Yuu!" he called cheerfully, "I'll be down in an hour to check up on the two of you, play nice!"
The slam of the trap door left the pair in stunned silence, Kanda and Allen looking as though they had seen Lavi grow three heads simultaneously. An exasperated sigh escaped the samurai's lips as he rubbed his head, cobalt eyes closing as he tried to focus his mind to a calmer sate of being.
"Just go."
The Japanese turned to the sound of the voice, the white head relaxing on the pillow as he turned his silver eyes to look away from Kanda's, his face slightly dejected looking while his body relaxed slightly as best he could with the binds around his wrists.
"Just leave my here alone, I prefer it anyway."
Uncomfortable silence fell upon the stone room, both vampire and hunter refusing to say another word to the other two until the other had, their stubbornness on equal terms.
"Hmph," was the first thing to echo in the empty room, the shuffling of material heard as Kanda crossed his arms, "don't worry, that's my plan."
Allen said nothing but listened to Kanda moved around and over the table, gathering and adjusting the dishes on the tray before the footsteps approached him, the form leaning over the boy while his hands swiftly gripped the buttons, the vampire coming to life as he blushed furiously while stammering.
"Wha-wha-"
"Shut up," Kanda growled at him, "I just don't want you bitching about how cold you are in the middle of the damn night or how bad your shirt smells or some bullshit like that."
Allen remained relatively mute as Kanda quickly undid his shirt, his blushing face turned away from the taller man while the cool air hit his chest, his body shuddering slightly at the sudden chill. His lithe form was then displayed for Kanda to see when the shirt was pulled back, a slight jangling of chains as he tried desperately to cover his body from the prying eyes.
Without a word to the painfully nervous boy, Kanda gripped his wrists harshly and swiftly unhooked the shackles from the boy, the white shirt quickly taken off the arm before the chains bound his wrists once more, the same done for the other arm at an amazing swiftness and grace Allen had no time to react even if he hadn't been stunned by the elder's actions.
"There," Kanda muttered once he had finished stripping the vampire of his clothes, the stained shirt gathered in his arms as he gripped the tray with his hands, his feet carrying him to the stairs.
"Wait!"
The Japanese turned at the sound of the voice, his cobalt eyes narrowing slightly while the vampire looked up at him.
"Yes?" he asked coolly, his eyebrow arched.
"C-can you get me another shirt o-or a blanket; i-it's cold-"
"You're a vampire," the man snapped, "you're already dead, everything is cold to you."
The fanged mouth closed as his jaw twitched slightly at the comment, his silver eyes darting from side to side while his body shuddered softly, the night falling anew while the temperature in the stone prison fell.
A sigh was heard from Kanda before the man placed down the tray of unfinished food, the rattling of dishes masking the sound of his footsteps for a few moments, a ruffling of clothing reached Allen's ears before he felt hands on his wrists once more, the silver eyes looking up to meet a now shirtless Kanda, gulping slightly as he hungrily looked over the man's chest and abdomen, the shackles loosening slightly before a soft cotton slipped over his hand.
Almost tenderly, Kanda slipped on his own shirt to the creature, telling himself that he was only doing as a way to keep Lavi off his back and not out of compassion. The shirt was much too large for Allen, covering his hands entirely, the effect with the shackles rather odd as the chains seemed to emanate from his body directly, Kanda refusing to create marks on one of his own shirts.
"There," the man growled, his long fingers buttoning up his shirt while one hand held the jaw firmly in place, "that'll do until you're on shirt is washed and dried."
The vampire said nothing but watched as the back muscles rippled while Kanda moved away from him, the long hair hanging between his shoulder blades swishing with each step he took. Silver irises remained glued to the muscular body until it disappeared into the shadow of the stairs, the trapdoor opening and closing for the final time in the night as Allen relaxed his body into the mattress, his nose burying into the white shirt, his silver eyes fluttering shut while he inhaled the enticing musky scent, eyelids closing shut while Kanda's warm scent lulled him into a slumber, one of the deepest he'd had in years.
