Half an hour ,, what the human takes to wake up after stopping his turning into vampire is precisely 30 minutes , so there was only 5 minutes before Kirino awakes , because Shindou has spent 25 of them just sitting beside the pinkette and staring at him , watching his unordinary soft pink hair , fair skin , long eyelashes , small nose and delicate lips , completely mesmerized by the feminine male on his bed and thinking how lucky he's to have such a mate ,
His image from the first time he had approached him under the sunlight would never leave his mind , since his captivating shoulders-length hair swayed when the boy turned to look at him with his adorable big eyes after the brunette had called for him , watching with all the innocence of the world before forming that charming smile on his face , the vampire had thought that the boy wasn't a human ,, because he could almost see two white wings behind the little kid and a golden ring floating above his head , they were only what he needed to be a total angel ,,
Shindou extended his hand to touch the sleeping man's swollen lips , his heart ached for him , he did never like to cause him any pain and planned on doing it with a gentler way without freaking him out , but the younger male had insisted to be stubborn and anger him with his words , forcing him to use the compulsory way to let him listen , and despite being furious at that moment , the brunette couldn't help but pity the poor human laying under him , breathing hard and staring at him with terror ,, still he wanted to make him understand what it means to be his- ,
Suddenly , a flicker from the tender eyelids drew his attention before they slowly opened to show the sparkling azure eyes he has madly fallen in love with ,, at first the dizzy look was evident on them , until their sight fell on the vampire and they widened with fear , Kirino jerked up quickly to get away but by accident , Shindou was unintentionally resting his leg on the chain that's connected to the pinkette's hand , forcing him to stay still
" no .. let go .. "
" calm down .. " the vampire slowly took the chain between his fingers to break it with his mighty hands , continuing with the rest " you're fine now ... you won't be a vampire " ,
Hearing the last phrase , Kirino remembered the vampire's words about losing his techniques , so hurriedly he tried to use his special hissatsu ' The mist ' , and as expected , nothing happened ,
Shindou watched his mate as he continued with his hopeless effort , trying again and again , and from the expression on his face the brunette could tell that the pigtails haired is persuading himself that he might do it , even though being sure of failing ,, and again , the feeling that this person in particular has the ability to make the lord feel flowed in his chest ,, guilty ,,
After seconds , he went to a nearby locker to take a medicine cream then came back to sit beside the man , who was still trying of no use , and got a hold of his small wrist to which he fought against ,
" don't move .. I want to put this on your lips or it might hurt more "
" .. no ... leave me " he barely said while flailing around ,
Shindou didn't like to use the harsh way again considering his pity for the male who looked really hurt , so he released him , and after a resentful sigh he let out while closing his eyes , he flew them open again to show their red glow , using his power to paralyze his lover , before entrapping him between his arms with a strong yet gentle hug
" .. I'm really sorry .. " , the lord apologized , making the pinkette be the first creature to let him do , and after a minute of the comforting embrace he laid his mate back on a pillow and leaned on him to treat his lips gently , anointing and rubbing them with his finger right to left ,, Shindou swallowed ,, just feeling the two pink petals made his body temperature increase , it took him five minutes to stop although he was done within seconds , and if not for the pained expression that appeared on Kirino's face , he would continue
" it's ok .. the pain will ease gradually from now o- .. Ran ! .. " Shindou called perplexed when tears started flowing nonstop from the attractive and tightly shut eyes , he placed a hand of comfort on the soft cheek then a kiss on the other " please don't cry ... do you know how hurtful are these tears to me ? " he said while wiping them away ,
" ... really ? ... " azure eyes opened to gaze at red ones " .. do you really have a heart to feel hurt ? ... after all what you've done ? " ,
Shindou sighed looking away silently , " .. I won't get angry for this ... after all .. you're still a human and oblivious to the meaning of Soulmate " he replied after seconds while watching him from the corner of his eyes with a slight frown ,,
" you're my soul mate "
A low gasp escaped the soft lips at the memory of the sentence he had heard before they were bitten ,
" .. I can't understand ... what's this soulmate thing that makes you do all this ? ... to feign being a human for years .. and now kidnapping me against sparing my kind ... why are you going this far ? " ,,
Shindou stared silently for quite a while before replying " .. I'm willing to explain ... but if you eat first "
" I don't- .. "
" I won't tell anything if you don't .. " , when Kirino tried to refuse again Shindou cut him off at once ,
Having no other choice , the pinkette sighed " .. alright "
The vampire smiled widely " that's my boy " he ruffled the soft pink hair and Kirino had the urge to roll his eyes ,, with a slight chuckle , Shindou rose from his spot and carried the tray that was forgotten " I'll bring you other than these .. they must be cold now " ,
Usually , the vampires leader can simply order someone to do it , but considering Kirino's presence he preferred to do himself , not liking the idea of anyone entering his chamber when his mate is inside , especially now that the pinkette was practically naked , so he left the room leaving the man alone ,,
As the door was fully closed behind the lord Kirino looked down ,, despite his volition for hearing an explanation first , he couldn't help but agree with the brunette , first because in fact , he was really starving , and second , though he didn't know why , but because the vampire really seemed pretty ,, worried about him ,
He didn't understand why would any vampire be concerned for a creature that isn't even like him , moreover their leader , it definitely has something to do with the soul mate matter ,,
After a sigh , he raised his head to watch the luxurious room again ,
He noted that it has three doors , he recognized the one that Shindou has left throw is supposed to be the exit but there were two more , one he assumed might be a bathroom , but what was the last one for ? ,,
Ignoring the unimportant thought , he averted his eyes again to notice the two grand wardrobes , he has always been aware that Shindou is quite rich , but wondered why would he even need two wardrobes with this big size too , maybe he doesn't like to wear something twice , or has many uniforms from the same type like Superman and ,, or maybe ,,
Suddenly the door was opened , taking his attention to show a smiling Shindou , the man was supposed to bring some food for him but his hands were empty , at least that was what Kirino had thought , because it was proven false when the brunette entered and tens of plates came floating behind him , ' .. oh .. don't tell me .. ' ,
The vampire chuckled at the expression on the pinkette's face " have no fear .. " he continued while utilizing the ability that every vampire has to fly things and placed the dishes on the long table " you aren't going to eat all these ... it's just that I've chosen the best list from what humen eat .. and wanted to know if you like my taste " ,,
' he did all this in such a short time ... no wonder they've chosen him as their leader ' Kirino thought relaxing a bit and looked at the food ,, he swallowed ,, they were really from the most delicious viands , just looking at the masterly cooked and decorated with various colors of vegetables cuisines made him feel more hungry , and the appetizing smell that hit his nose didn't help either ,
" what's wrong ? .. " , Kirino turned to the brunet who was leaning on the table while watching him with an amused smirk , " aren't you coming ? " the pinkette didn't know why he felt his face heat up and just averted his eyes trying to ignore that and hide his blush , however , he wasn't able to , because all of sudden his face was turned to the vampire again , seeing his still smirking face before his body got up on its own , or to be more specific , on someone's own , " come on .. you don't want me to carry you like these plates .. do you ? " , after a moment , Kirino obeyed hesitantly , Shindow motioned in the direction of a roomy settee to make it fly toward his hand and positioned it next to him , " sit " he ordered to which the other male did then sat beside him , circling a hand around his shoulders and taking the spoon in his hand " so~ .. " he sang with his mild sound " what do you like first ? .. " he asked to gain no response , " .. well .. I'll choose for you " he took the morsel near Kirino's mouth " open up " ,
The younger male kept looking at the food in front of his mouth for a moment , and when he did as he was told , it wasn't to eat " I can do it on my own .. " , the joyful smile on Shindou's face began to fade away , " I can eat by myself " ,
" it's ok .. I'd like to feed you "
" but I don't like " the phrase let Shindou start to get angry
" .. most of the plates are far from you .. so instead of letting you get up to reach them I can float the wanted one and feed you .. it would be easier "
" .. no .. " Kirino refused again after a pause , making Shindou glare
" why no ? "
" it makes me feel awkward " ,
The brunet began to lose patience " .. I said open up "
" but I don't need to eat from them all one's enough "
" and I said you should taste them " rage was obvious in the lord's tone , and Kirino looked down
" .. I'm not a child to be fed " ,
The vampire lowered his hand slowly , his face showing an unreadable expression " .. being stubborn is a childish act ... and do you know what's the only way to solve it ? .. " he paused to lift the pinkette's face up " .. it's the punishment " he took a mouthful from the food into his mouth before pressing his lips against the other , who was caught off guard then transferred everything in his cavern to his , keeping their lips glued together until he made sure the human was forced to swallow it ,, and even after they parted , Kirino wasn't able to recover the lacked oxygen as Shindou captured his mouth in no time , repeating his action again and again with the other trying to break free until being certain of the impossibility ,, he clutched tightly to the back of Shindou's shirt but the other was off , like he's completely in another world , and even after Kirino swallowed , the brunet didn't separate from him this time and rather positioned him on his lap , embracing him strongly while roaming his body with his hands ,, so all what the pinkette could do was moaning wildly into the other's mouth which succeeded with stopping the vampire after a few seconds ,, and immediately at the moment their lips were parted , Kirino started gulping badly for air ,
Shindou seemed back to reality , nothing can describe his feeling , although he felt sad at the sight of his poor lovely mate struggling to breath , but couldn't help the immense delight in his heart after having such a deep kiss with him ,
" p .. please .. I won't ... refuse .. "
And hearing the whiny , barely audible tone as the pigtailed begged with tearful eyes , he nearly was about to bounce at him again , but the male's pitied state prevented him from doing so
" look at me .. " he lifted his face up with his hand " from now on .. I'm the one who'll feed you ... understood ? .. " he earned a slow nod that didn't satisfy him , " .. understood ? .. " he repeated louder , closing the gap between their faces while fighting the urge to save the small space separating them and smack their lips together ,
" yes .. un .. understood " the human replied with a shaky voice and the vampire had an immense desire to snatch him into his chests and never let go ,
The lord never liked to behave with his mate whom he's fond of in such a hard way , on the contrary , he has always wanted to be as tender as possible with the charming male , treating him like he's made of glass and making all the mates in the world wish to be in the pinkette's place , but the ex-defender wasn't willing to let him do so , never giving him the shy looks or alluring smiles he has been craving to get from him someday since the first time he glanced the boy , but also persisted in stubbornness , so he had no other choice to be stern and make firm rules on the other ,,
After the little event he continued to feed him with a calmer manner , his eyes never left the male who was lowering his head slightly in a despairing gesture
" I'm full "
Shindou studied him silently with a small scowl for a while , " .. eat " he ordered
" but- "
" no buts .. you should make up for the last two days " he terminated the conversation and as expected , Kirino didn't argue more , and the vampire gave a little contented smile as he watched him bringing his face down again when compliantly proceeding to have his meal ,, however , it wasn't long after the pigtailed was finished
" I can't take more " he justified
" you haven't eaten much " the brunette kept the food near the other's mouth
" I would .. but I really can't "
" .. alright .. " he withdrew his hand away " .. but you must tell me how did you like it " he inquired while calmly putting the spoon on the nearest dish ,
Kirino raised his eyebrows " what's it ? "
" .. the food "
The human averted his azure eyes to look at the almost still filled plates , he couldn't deny that they were from the tastier and more favorite for him ,
' .. maybe he still knows me will .. '
" so ? .. "
" huh ? .. " Shindou's voice brought his attention back again
" was it to your liking ? "
" .. y .. yes ... it was delicious " ,
Shindou let out a faint chuckle whereas slowly putting Kirino back to sit on the settee " I know .. " he got up to take the dishes , talking with his back to the other " .. we hadn't been best friends for nothing .. " a genuine tone spread throw out his voice
Kirino watched him heading to the door , and the call escaped his mouth before comprehending it " wait .. " , making the other stop in his way and turn to him , " .. um ... thank you .. " , a surprised look was visible on Shindou's face , " .. for the meal " he completed , lowering his eyes with a slight red tint on his cheeks ,
For a moment , the amazed look stayed written all over the brunette's expression , before it softened to turn into an extremely warm smile ,
Kirino didn't notice the lord coming towards him until he felt a hand gently guiding his head up , letting him stare directly into the piercing yet caring red orbs
" no thanking between mates " the vampire clarified with all softness , before releasing his hold slowly and returning to his destination ,,
In less than a minute , he was back , giving the smallest male a smile and guiding him back to the bed , he knew what the human was waiting for
" I guess you need an explanation .. " , Kirino nodded hesitantly ,,
Without knowing the reason , a part of him didn't wish to hear the upcoming conversation , this whole matter made him absolutely nervous , like he was going to realize something that'll lock him in a cage ,
In Shindou's cage for the rest of his life ,,,
