Ephemeral Blood ~ Sathenus & mik3la

[Sathenus]

"I've had a long time to work on my skills." Jonah answered when he was told it was pretty good for a vampire cook. That and it seemed as though whenever Medive brought in someone that was of interest to him he always tried to pamper them at first. In the end they all disappointed the vampire and ended up in the labyrinth beneath the mansion suffering as an experiment instead. But... there was a draw to this human he felt, his mouth watered and he found that his eyes occasionally landed on the bite marks that had been left behind from him Sire.

 

A soft hum and a nod was his response to learning the mortal's name. It wasn't like it was really important to know it, at least not for him. But he was trying to be nice to someone who was clearly in a very stressful situation, he was sure that it was even traumatizing. When he was asked what he meant by saying that he was the key to his Sire's plan. "Your blood apparently is special, it happenes every hundred years. A special mortal is born, when they turn twenty is when they mature and are revealed to the vampire community. After that it's a mad dash to be the first to collect them. Medive has been working on getting this decades Shikon jewel first. That's apparently you. With the aide of your blood you'll make him stronger than any other vampire, you'll allow him to turn the scales. He like the other's of this clan find humans as little more than herd beasts, you provide food, nothing more. His plan is to use your blood to tip the scales of peace and in a sense enslave humanity." Jonah explained as if this was all normal. To him it was.

 

"You have nothing to fear from him. So long as you do what he wants. Since you're the key to his plan he'd happily keep you as a little pet in the mansion then use you as one of his experiments. Obedience really is the key to your survival in this place." This was advice he felt like he needed to give. It seemed as if Naname wasn't planning to behave, but he must if he wanted to survive.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Medive?" Nate replied surprised by what was being uncovered to him. If a Tzimisce was in the city last night and was also tracking an innocent why had he not heard about it? Though the clan didn't follow their rules he still should have heard about his presence within the city last night. "He was targeting an innocent last night?" Nate asked to follow up. Though Akita wasn't always the most reliable vampire to get information from, he was the only one who apparently would tell him about the other vampire present that night and what he was up to.

 

Hearing that the innocent Medive had been targeting had a sweet smell he instantly shot up from the edge of his desk his eyes widdened. 'That can't be!' He thought a little panicked by the news. Surely this can't be! If a Tzimisce actually succeeded in capturing the Shikon jewel... Nate could already feel the dread setting in. Nothing good would come from it. But he was drawn back to the current problem, even if it wasn't the most pressing matter anymore. "So there were two innocents last night? You followed one, but Medive stuck to the other? Why would you drink from an innocent even after you realized he wasn't the one that had smelled so nice? You know our rules Akita!" Nate said trying to get down to why the other had still gone through with the hunt when he had realized that he wasn't the right one. Saying he 'had to eat so he did' was not a strong enough argument.

 

For a moment he was silent then he shook his head. "It doesn't matter if I would have loved it too. We are discussing you and the mistake you made. Do you realize what you could have done? You can't go drinking out of whoever just because you ended up hunting the wrong one and 'had to eat' that isn't how this works. It means you suffer the consequences and go without that night or find someone else!" Nate was trying to make this very clear. He couldn't let Akita go around drinking from those that their rules protected. "But you did more than drink from this innocent. That's another thing that has to be discussed. You could have hurt him!" Nate added. He knew more than Akita probably thought, and though yes feeding from him was a problem, so was what had occurred after. He couldn't condone what Akita had done, out of worry that he may try to do so again if he didn't at the very least try to explain to this insane vampire the importance of following those rules.

[mik3la]

Naname almost choke when he heard the other telling him what he meant. He? Special human? That was impossible. He wasn't special at all. He was normal. There had to be a mistake because if that was true, than he was doomed. He would never escape this place and he will die of blood sucking. Why was his luck so bad?

"I'm not that .... i'm not special or whatever you said" he spoke moving the tray away. He wasn't hungry anymore. His appetite had vanished the moment he found out his fate. Which apparently was death.

 

He looked again at his cuff and tried again to free himself only to hurt himself even more. He didn't want to be in that place. He didn't want to die. He didn't asked for this. Yes, his life was boring and all but he never wanted craziness in his life. He wanted all to sort out for him and live. Seeing the other change his mood as he felt his blood on the shirt from the wounds he had on his neck, he pushed himself away from the other. He wasn't safe.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Medive?"

"Yes Medive" said Akita rolling his eyes sighing. "Are you even listening what i was saying?" he added crossing his arms to his chest feeling upset that the other was more absent from this conversation than him.

"He was targeting an innocent last night?"

"I just said that" , he lifted his arms in the air taking a deep breath. "Seriously Nate"

"So there were two innocents last night? You followed one, but Medive stuck to the other? Why would you drink from an innocent even after you realized he wasn't the one that had smelled so nice? You know our rules Akita!"

"Well ... I kind of felt the sweet scent on the other till he reached home... And the scent kind of made me super hungry and want him" he started saying leaning his head to one side thoughtful. "And after, i just couldn't find another human in that short time so i ... " he said blinking a few times remembering the blood flow from the boy in his mouth, licking his lips.

"But you did more than drink from this innocent. That's another thing that has to be discussed. You could have hurt him!"

"Hei ... its not the first time that vampires uses human to have sex alright?!" he said angry that again he was at fault. It was a stupid attraction after he tasted the blood and after he heard the others reactions. "I was careful. Plus, the guy liked it and not just because of the bite's venom. He liked" he added sitting in the chair near the other, acting all grumpy.

"But i never saw Medive so into a human before. That was strange" he said narrowing his eyes trying to figure it out why.

 

He was never interested in history and had no idea about what was actually happening. "Maybe he took it for another of his experiments" he shrugged not caring too much about it.

[Sathenus]

Jonah wasn't remotely surprised that Naname was trying to deny who he was, and seemed so determined to convince him that he wasn't this special human, that he wasn't special at all. "You can say that all you want, it won't change anything." He replied with a shrug, not personally caring if the boy was the right human or not. It was of no concern to him, as long as Medive was happy, he'd be happy. Possibly jealous, but happy nonetheless.

 

For a second he watched as the other tried to free himself again though he only managed to hurt himself more than he already was in the process. The metal cuff wasn't budging, but it was starting to get to the point where it was close to breaking the skin and causing him to start bleeding. But then... why was there such a strong and alluring scent of blood in the air now? His own dark gaze moved from the boy's wrist to his neck where blood seemed to be flowing from his Sire's bite mark. But... Medive was normally so good at sealing his bites after.

 

It took all of his control not to lunge at the other, his mouth was watering though and he felt the urge to move forward and take a drink. At that point he opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say or do anything the door burst open and Medive stood there. "Jonah, out!" It was a clear demand and the younger vampire obeyed as if it wasn't a choice. When it came to his sire it really wasn't. Once the younger vampire was out of the room Medive shut the door and turned his orange gaze back to the boy.

 

"You've reopened your wound, little one." It was said in a soft pur, trying to ease his captive's fear and get the other to come closer to him. He had moved to where Jonah had been sitting and settled down holding his hand out towards the other as if gently asking him to come closer. "Come here, child. Before you bleed to death." He coaxed, working to keep his voice soothing and not at all tempted. Though he was very much tempted.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

Nate waved a hand dismissively as if shushing Akita when he was asked if he was listening to what he was saying. He was listening all right, but he had some more pressing matters on his mind now, matters that kept him a bit preoccupied. When Akita rather frustrated answered his second question about whether Medive had also been targeting an innocent last night he wasn't really surprised that the other vampire was growing impatient with him. Though it was normally the other way around, but this was far more important.

 

As the other vampire explained to him why he had fed from the innocent even after figuring out he was not the source of the sweet scent made him sigh. It was understandable, it was also a mistake that was made by numerous vampires. Sometimes there was just that lapse in judgement, he supposed he could get Akita off just for that. The fact that he had been to overtaken by the scent of the shikon jewel and it had clouded his judgement enough to the point that he had fed from an innocent even upon realizing that it was not the source of the alluring scent. "I suppose I can convince the council that you just had a lapse in judgement because of your run in with a Tzimisce." Nate said trying to pass the blame more onto Medive's presence than the shikon jewel, but he would speak to them about that as well and the very real possibility that it may have fallen into very dangerous hands. Suddenly he noticed that Akita had licked his lips and seemed to be in thought, "What are you thinking about, Akita?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

 

When the other spoke again this time rather angrily he sighed and scowled at the younger vampire. "Just because vampires have used humans for sex in the past, does not mean that we need to do so now!" He replied sternly. But what was said next caught him off guard, being told that he was careful and that the innocent had liked it and not just because of his venom. Clearing his throat and shaking his head he sighed, "Even if the human likes and enjoys it, that doesn't change the fact that you need to be more careful. You need to use better judgement." With that Nate had moved towards Akita and poked him in the forehead, "Use your head. Your insanity can't and won't act as an excuse for everything."

 

Nate had turned back towards his desk to write what the conclusion he had come to in this case so he could go present it when he heard Akita speak again, this time about how he had never seen Medive so into a human before. At that he slowly turned to face the other again, the dread he had felt earlier returning to him. "How was this any different than how he normally stalks humans?" He asked wanting to know if Akita really had noticed odd behavior from the young Tzimisce.

 

"Let's hope so." Nate said in a slightly distracted tone, but he in no way meant what he had said. He just didn't want Akita to realize how bad this whole thing could really be. Deep down he was panicking, and praying that the shikon jewel had not been taken for a Tzimisce's experiments, but also that they had not been captured by a Tzimisce in general. He had no idea what he was going to do if it turned out that everything Akita had just relayed to him was actually true. This would make things extremely difficult, and it would definitely make the Caramila impose more strict rules while they tried to figure out how to get their hands on the shikon jewel.

[mik3la]

He didn't realized that the other vampire came in the room until he shouted to the young one before him to get out. Naname gulp in relieve, at least he escaped one of them. Sighing and moving his body more to the wall behind him ,leaning on him, he lifted his eyes to see the guy before sitting next to him.

 

"You've reopened your wound, little one."

 

Not understanding exactly he moved his hand to his neck and felt something wet and sticky on it. Inspecting his hand he saw his blood on it. so that's why the other changed his attitude, he thought imagining what his blood would do to the rest of the vampires in the house. He wasn't safe. At least not as long as he was alone. Apparently the guy before him was the boss around here, making everyone fear him.

 

"Come here, child. Before you bleed to death."

 

At first he didn't want to obey, but after he calculated his options, he didn't had much of a choice. He didn't want to die. Not at that moment nor ever. He had to find a way to get out of that place, but he had to be obedient as well. At least that's what he understood from the other vampire.

 

He slide closer to the vampire, keeping eye contact with him. Sadly, he was stubborn and proud, which wasn't a good combination for the situation he was in. He just hopped someone out there was looking for him. That if they noticed his absence.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Now that i think about it .... he stalk the boy from the shadows but ... but didn't attack both of the guys. He wanted .... he wanted the boy to be alone" he narrowed his eyes having a moment of sanity. As he often had it. Sometimes people thought that he was normal, as his functionalities were working at full speed. But sometimes, he was like a clown who all that he wanted was to have fun and break the rules.

 

"They never cared if anyone saw them or how many humans are. They snapped them all and that was it .... Why was this human then so special" he started to think again, trying to focus on the previous night events. "And about my human. I'm not gonna stop seeing him. It's something at him that intrigues me" he added, moving from side to side of the room, thinking of Medive and his motive of behaving so carefully. "It was as if he didn't want to create a scene. To get in the eye of the guards" he started to speak again more to himself. At a moment of wisdom, he remembered. "That means ...." he widened his eyes, realising what year it was and what it could be. "We are so screwed" he said laughing nervously, still not believing it.

[Sathenus]

Medive could see the pride that was in his little pet, and it was amusing how it was hard for him to give in and come to him so he could close the wound again. An amused smile crossed his face as the other inched slowly towards him, their eyes never breaking apart. "Come on now. Closer." He urged in a soft voice shifting so he could usher the boy closer to him. Once he was in reach he gently pulled the other closer. His actions were slow and more at the pace of another human, being careful to show consideration of the man's feelings for him. "That's it." He added softly as if trying to convince the other that everything that was happening was happening because his captive decided to let it.

 

Now that he was close enough Medive leaned in carefully, letting his tongue run over the bite he had created earlier that day. "Once it was close and he had cleaned the blood from his skin he moved his face away from him. "There you go little one." He said softly giving the human a small smile. Medive was determined to lul the other into a sense of calm with him. That he wasn't here to hurt him, he wanted the human to feel safe in his presence. To want his presence. It would just be one more way in which he would have won if he was able to get the boy to actually accept his role.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

Nate had been just about to dismiss Akita as he was finishing writing some things down when the vampire spoke and drew him from what he was doing. He was stunned by what the other said, turning to face him again. This wasn't good, this wasn't good at all and he could feel the dread growing. It seemed as though the more that Akita recalled what Medive had been doing that night the more he seemed to be confirming his own fears. Did the other vampire seriously not understand what was going on? What was actually at stake right now?

 

When Akita told him he wouldn't stop seeing his human as something about him intrigued him it made Nate sigh. "You know very well I can't condone that, Akita. If you continue to see this innocent you'll be repeatedly and knowingly breaking the rules. I can't protect them from you again if you insist on doing this. There is very few ways a vampire can get away with what you are doing. You neither have the position nor clearance to keep interacting with this mortal." They had strict rules for a reason, humans were better off not knowing of their existence. "How do you expect such a thing to be condoned? If we let you get away with it, then everyone else will think it is okay too."

 

Once more Akita returned to thinking about Medive and what he had been doing that night, it seemed as though the other vampire was finally getting it. Sure enough he saw his eyes widen and the other spoke saying they were screwed. "Hush. It's not to late for the Caramila to be able to get him back if Medive has indeed found the jewel. But that just means I need you to behave even more and not constantly distract me. Can you do that Akita? If Medive was able to keep himself out of the sight of the guards and to keep from alerting the scouts do you think you can pull that off too? At least until the jewel has been returned to our territory where he belongs?" Nate asked giving the other a stern look.

 

Once news of this hit the counsel he'd be swamped along with many others trying to locate and acquire the jewel to return him to his home here where he will be safe. It was their goal to let him live his life as normal as possible, using his blood when needed to keep the balance and to keep control. To hear that he had been so easily stolen right out form under their noses on the day of his twentieth birthday only made this whole situation worse. It made Nate wonder what would have happened if Akita had not gone for the other human when the two had parted ways, if he had continued to follow the one that Medive had been stalking. What would the Tzimisce have done? It was to late to worry about that now, as it didn't matter, but he couldn't help but wonder. "You should go, Akita. We've wasted enough time, and I need to get this news to the counsel immediately. The sooner we can act the better our chances of retrieving the jewel."

[mik3la]

He was too close but he had no choice. He needed to be healed in order to be safe and not be on the menu for the rest of the vampires. At least as long as that guys was around, no one dared to get close to him or touch him. It was all a battle in his head, not knowing what to believe. Before he got him scared and now he was helping him. Yes, he needed him alive but still.

 

A little twitch made him realize that the other had healed his wounds, stopping the blood shed. He had to gain the others trust as well. Show him that he can be obedient and when he had the chance he would run away. "What will you do to me now?" he asked being concerned but at the same time curious. "What do you want from me?" he added, trying to calm his heartbeats, continuing the eye contact.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Hush. It's not to late for the Caramila to be able to get him back if Medive has indeed found the jewel. But that just means I need you to behave even more and not constantly distract me. Can you do that Akita? If Medive was able to keep himself out of the sight of the guards and to keep from alerting the scouts do you think you can pull that off too? At least until the jewel has been returned to our territory where he belongs?"

 

"I'll see what i can do" he said not licking it. He wasn't one to behave but in this matter, after finding out that Medive got the jewel, made things more complicated for him. Sighing he locked at Nate, not wanting to make more trouble for him.

 

"You should go, Akita. We've wasted enough time, and I need to get this news to the counsel immediately. The sooner we can act the better our chances of retrieving the jewel."

 

"Fine." he said shortly getting out of the mansion. He got upset about this whole situation. He hatted those rules. He didn't hurt the guy, he just made him feel better. Plus, the guy enjoyed every second of it. Wandering around in the night, he found himself back to the blond one's place. Inside him the two personalities was running a difficult battle. He wasn't supposed to go up there, but he wished so badly to see the guy. biting his lips nervously, he decided that he would pay him a visit but not doing anything. That way he was safe and out of trouble.

 

Apparently the door to the bedroom balcony was open so he entered silently, inspecting the room. Blondy wasn't in the room so he moved further. The boy was in the living room on the couch watching tv. "What a nice view. But the show is boring. How can you look at something like that" he said leaning on the wall, keeping his hands crossed over his chest. "Those guys make us look like idiots" he added talking about the show that was running one. A Tv show about sparkling vampires in high school.

[Sathenus]

"I've already answered your questions once little one." Medive said with a small smile, "As long as you behave yourself and do as you're told you will be my little pet. You will live and thrive in the mansion for as long as you behave yourself. If you don't want to behave and do as you're told you'll end up beneath the mansion deep in the labyrinth below and serving me in my experiments instead." He made sure to explain that clearly to his little pet. He needed the human to fear him enough to obey and not want to cross him. But he also needed the boy to trust him enough to come when called and want to be around him. After all, he was technically only safe when in his presence, when alone or with others things could happen that Medive would be unable to prevent.

 

"You have nothing to fear from me. As long as he do as you're told." He said softly, gently caressing the other's cheek. Right now he wanted the other to stop trying to fight against his restraint and instead find comfort in his presence. It would be a big step, but a much needed milestone. Looking towards the boy's wrist he clicked his tongue, "You should really stop trying to break free, before you end up hurting your wrist to much. Or making it bleed as well. You wouldn't want to end up bleeding again would you?" He asked in a caring tone.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

Alex wouldn't really say that he was into what was playing on the TV but it was better than sitting around in silence or wasting his night away by going to bed early out of boredom. Both of which were things that he had done multiple times before and he always ended up regretting it later. He jumped, startled when he heard a voice that oddly enough was becoming rather familiar already even if the night before had been the first time he had ever heard it. Hazel eyes darted to the figure that had appeared, clearly having entered his apartment from the balcony again. "It is just a show, it helps pass the time." Alex replied with a small shrug, when he was told shows like that made them seem like idiots he couldn't help but laugh softly. "It's just one person's interpretation of vampires. There are plenty of other shows and movies that have been created revolving around what people imagine vampires like."

 

This was weird, how last night he had been so nervous and afraid that he could barely speak at all, yet tonight he was able to speak with the other as though they were friends. He realized what he was doing a moment later and shook his head, trying to clear it from being happy to see the other again so soon. Alex knew he shouldn't want him here, or be so glad to see him again. "Shouldn't you be out stalking the night or something?" Alex suddenly asked trying to figure out why he was here, with him. It didn't really make any sense to him, and he seriously had thought that seeing him had been a one time thing.

[mik3la]

"I've already answered your questions once little one." Medive said with a small smile, "As long as you behave yourself and do as you're told you will be my little pet. You will live and thrive in the mansion for as long as you behave yourself. If you don't want to behave and do as you're told you'll end up beneath the mansion deep in the labyrinth below and serving me in my experiments instead."

 

Naname hat to calculate his ideas again. Was it really worth it? How bad could it be being someone slave. He done it a thousand times at his jobs. Having another boss wasn't that big of a deal. He sighed, closing his eyes for a brief second, feeling defeated. This time he was really powerless.

 

"You have nothing to fear from me. As long as you do as you're told."

 

He lifted his eyes looking the vampire straight in his eyes. That was the only thing that he still had. Being cockie in not obeying him just like the others. Even if he was as lave now, he wasn't like the others.

 

"You should really stop trying to break free, before you end up hurting your wrist to much. Or making it bleed as well. You wouldn't want to end up bleeding again would you?"

 

Lowering his gaze, he covered his hand looking to the side. "I'll try to behave" he managed to say in a low voice. He didn't like it, but he had to do it. He felt so powerless, so miserable, he felt hopeless. He was broken.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"It's just one person's interpretation of vampires. There are plenty of other shows and movies that have been created revolving around what people imagine vampires like."

 

"Hope they are better at portraying us" he said huffing but more to the one on tv. He never understood that stupid box that showed all kinds of stupid thing. Lucky for him, they weren't existing when he was still human. Changing his mood he turned his gaze back to the boy.

 

"Shouldn't you be out stalking the night or something?"

 

"That would be the wolfs my dear boy" he said starting to check the room, walking pass the furniture, inspecting everything. Why was he here in the first place? What did he want to check? "And for your information we do not stalk .... we hunt" he corrected him rolling his eyes, stopping and sitting on the chair next to the couch where the boy was. "Wanted to make sure you aren't dead" he lied.

[Sathenus]

"Good." Medive purred happily, hearing that his new little pet would try to behave would make things so much easier for him. Running his fingers gently along the human's neck he took the chance to admire the mortal. It wasn't completely unlike him to grow an attachment to a certain human, that was how his small family had happened after all. Each of the vampires living under him within the large mansion he had turned himself, why? Because he had grown attached to them when they were human and had been unable to accept the fact that it was possible for him to be attached to something so weak. So he turned them, making the vampires and binding them to him through a blood bond. It made it easier for him to deny that he had fallen for them while they were human.

 

It took Medive a moment to realize that he had lost himself in his thoughts, when it finally hit him he cleared his throat and turned his gaze to his pet's wrist that the other was now covering. As though he didn't want to bring attention to the fact that he had been injuring himself trying to break free. Considering it for a moment Medive reached out and gently slapped his hand away so he could unlock the metal cuff, once he had done so he stood, and moved over to a cabinet in the room to gather a few things to help with what damage was already done.

 

As he was doing this his senses were trained on his pet's movements and actions. To make sure he was aware what the other was doing and the trouble he might be getting into if he does something that Medive finds less than satisfactory. He'd have to punish him for bad behavior after all, all pets needed punishment when they didn't listen. It was the best way to teach them to listen without hesitation.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Depends on who you ask." Alex replied with a shrug. Different people liked different versions of vampires than others, though he personally had a few different favorites. The one currently playing on his TV screen wasn't one of them, but it was a version all the same and he had been bored and wanted to watch something. It was better than some of the other things that were currently being played on other channels right now, and that was the only reason why it was still on.

 

He raised an eyebrow when he was told that stalking the night would be with wolves while he was looking over his living room. "Like the animal? Or werewolves?" Alex asked a little curious and wanted more information about this. 'Just how many supernatural races actually exist?' He asked himself rather curious about the whole thing. When he was told that they didn't stalk they hunt which was followed by the other rolling his eyes he sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, "Don't you do both?" He asked with a grumble.

 

Being told that the other wanted to make sure he wasn't dead ended with him giving the vampire a sharp look. "Why? I highly doubt you do that with everyone you drink from. It shouldn't matter to you." For some reason he was irritated with the man's reasoning behind showing up again tonight. At the same time he knew this wasn't him, he never talked to another person like that before and it took him a moment before he calmed what frustration had set in. "Anyways, I'm perfectly fine. Is that the only reason you showed up?" This time his voice was gentler, making it clear he had gotten a hold of his sudden emotions.

[mik3la]

He was surprised seeing his hand being freed. Looking up at the vampire who got up and started looking for something, keeping his back to him. He masaged his wrist looking around. Could he run away? Was this his chance? But as far as he could remember, vampires had specific powers and strenght. He was pretty sure that the vampire was able to catch him if he did something that wasn't at his place. So, he decided to stay put, looking around just in case. The room wasn't that big and din't had many furniture inside. Only a bed, a closet, a table and two chairs nearh the window with bars. so that isn't an option, he thought turning his gaze back to the vampire narrowing his eyes not know what he was looking foor.

"May i know your name?"

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"Like the animal? Or werewolves?"

 

Akita stopped and turned his gaze to the boy. "Werewolves of course" he said narrowing his eyes not understanding the question. He was a bit confused not understanding the need of asking that. Since he saw that vampires were real, how come the boy didn't think that the werewolves were real as well.

 

"Don't you do both?"

 

That he had to admit that it was true. That was what he did when he fallowed him home and all. "Good point" he commented starting to walk again in the room , inspecting it further. He still didn't know why he came here and why was he still standing there, keeping the conversation going. He was't supposed to be there. He had to stay away from the boy. He shouldn't get in more trouble than he was but apparently he was too stupid to behave as he promised.

 

"Why? I highly doubt you do that with everyone you drink from. It shouldn't matter to you."

 

"No ... you're right. I don't check after i drink because they are usually dead" he said turning his red eyes back to the boy. "But , then again they are usually vagabonds or prisoners" he shrugged. Why was he telling the human all that. That information shouldn't had passed to the boy. He shouldn't be there and shouldn't talk about this kind of things, but it was something about the boy that kept him there and making him comfortable to speak about the vampire world and the rest.

 

For once he didn't had an answer to give to the other. He was just standing there and staring at him not able to form a word. "I ... don't know" he sigh feeling even more confuse. "I just wanted to check" he said like he was woken up from a trance. "I'm Akita. What's your name?"

"Oh! That's right, I apologize for that." Medive said turning from where he had been digging through things to face the other. Offering him a small smile he gave the ever so slightest bow, "My name is Medive. I'm the leader of this little band of vampire's that you've found yourself in." It wasn't like him to forget to make introductions, this was something that should have been done hours ago. Now that he was facing him again his gaze moved to the tray of food that had been brought in, the bowl of soup was empty, but not much else was touched. "Ah, I see Jonah brought you a good meal. Are you truly not hungry anymore?" He questioned raising an eyebrow, "You'll need the food to help replenish the blood I drank earlier."

 

Moving back over to the bed showed that he had found what he had been hunting for. Opening up the small tube of ointment he held his hand out towards the other once more. "Can I?" He asked making it clear he wanted the other's injured wrist, wanting to apply the ointment that would help the skin heal and help with the pain he was probably feeling from his struggles.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

Alex just shrugged when the other answered noticing how his eyes had narrowed, making it clearer to him that the man thought his question was probably stupid and that he had clearly meant werewolves from the start. Which he probably had, but it just had not been the first thing he had thought about. This whole concept of vampires and werewolves being real was foreign to him. It would take him a little while to be able to wrap his head around this concept.

 

"So... is that why you didn't kill me like you normally seem to do to the people you drink from? Because I wasn't your normal prey?" It sounded so weird to word it like that, but that was what he was wasn't it? It seemed like he was literally just prey, and the only reason the other hadn't killed him like all the others was because he wasn't the normal type of prey he hunted. It made his heart race, something he tried to stop it from doing but it was no good.

 

"Alex." He said softly without really thinking about it. After a moment he glanced up from where his gaze had fallen, "Why do you keep looking at my living room so intensely? It can't be that interesting." Leaning back against the couch he watched Akita, this was still weird, but it didn't explain to him why the vampire was still here upon realizing that he was not dead and was alive. "So... are you just going to watch my living room all night or are you going to offer some sort of company since you snuck into my apartment again. You know... other than apparently to make sure I wasn't dead. As if that matters. I can put something else on for us... or... I don't know we could play a card game or something."

[mik3la]

It was strange to see the other bowing in front of him. No one ever did that before. Maybe because no one was old enough to know the ethic rules for that. how old is this guy, he thought watching every move that Medive was doing. Fallowing the gaze of the vampire he saw the tray. He thought that the other took it with him when he left since he lost before his appetite. "I'm not hungry" he said nodding his head from side to side.

 

When the other sat back on the bed he was curious. He didn't know what to expect from the other. He was acting so strange now, that Naname just couldn't understand how someone could change his mood so easily. Before he was acting all scary and made his pulse raise, but now he was all calm, like a normal person, leaving him feel ... comfortable, his mind answered for him.

 

. "Can I?"

 

He looked at the box and after at his hand. is he trying to ... cure me? he thought feeling even more confused. At first he didn't want to give his hand, but after a little thinking he did so, reaching out the wounded arm, placing in the vampire's hand. why is he so nice to me?. His mind had so many questions that had no respond.

 

"Thanks ... i guess" he mumbled even if he knew that those wounds was because he was held captive by a vampire in a mansion full of vampires. It was all Medive's fault that he got injured because he wanted to escape. He was abducted in the first place and was a normal attitude for wanting to get out of there. But then again, his options were limited and had to behave and fallowed the orders, for now.

 

"Why .... why do you .... argh forget it" he started to speak but after he shut up, leaving the other to care for his wound in silence.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

"So... is that why you didn't kill me like you normally seem to do to the people you drink from? Because I wasn't your normal prey?"

 

"I didn't kill you because we have rules and consequences for those who break them" he said keeping his eyes on the boy, analyzing his every gesture, feature. He just couldn't figure it out why he was so drawn to the other,

 

"I'm Akita" he said bowing his head a little in sign of salute.

 

"Why do you keep looking at my living room so intensely? It can't be that interesting."

 

"I was just curious. I thought humans had other habit arrangements but apparently we are not so different than you guys" he answered leaning his head on his hand. There was something about the boy that had to be the reason he was still talking and was still there. It was just slipping his mind and also something that he missed in the vampire history.

 

"So... are you just going to watch my living room all night or are you going to offer some sort of company since you snuck into my apartment again. You know... other than apparently to make sure I wasn't dead. As if that matters. I can put something else on for us... or... I don't know we could play a card game or something."

 

"I thought we are already doing that or ..." he said moving so quickly sitting right next to the other, face to face only inches away. "Do you have something else in mind?" he grinned locking down at the boy's neck where the two dots were still visible. He wasn't going to feed out of him again, he just wanted to have fun right now.

[Sathenus]

"Hmm... well, if you're sure." Medive murmured though he would have preferred that his captive had eaten more than that. But there was no point in trying to force him to eat more if he was truly full, instead he just focused on putting the ointment on the boy's wrist to help with the healing process. His touch was light, almost as if he wasn't touching him at all. When he finished he let the other's arm go and just watched him for a moment giving a small nod when he was thanked, though the 'I guess' mumbled with it said that the other really didn't want to thank him or was blaming him for his injury to begin with.

 

"Why do I care?" Medive asked when the other had started to speak before he had seemed to give up on it. "You causing yourself damage was never something I intended to happen." He left out the part where if there was any damage that was caused it would be by him, but that didn't seem like the right thing to say right now when the other was finally starting to feel comfortable in his presence and trust him. Medive needed that so he could take advantage of it later, ruining it now would only set him back in the future.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

That did not make him feel any better. If anything that just made Alex feel a bit anxious, coming to realize that it was probably only those rules that had stood between him and getting pretty much murdered last night for food. It wasn't a very appealing thought, but he figured at least he had something protecting him to make him feel at least safe enough to continue to allow Akita into his home. Even if he had kind of wished that the vampire hadn't told him that was why he hadn't killed him.

 

"Other habit arrangements?" Alex repeated curious, he couldn't see why they would have such different tastes in things like that. "I wouldn't see why it'd be that different. I mean... I don't see why other than the immortality and blood drinking that vampires would be all that different from normal humans. Weren't you human before?" It seemed like a stupid question but it had a point. If the answer was yes it would just prove to him even more that they were a lot more similar than a lot of people probably thought. "I don't really think we are all that different."

 

All Alex had done was blink and before he knew it Akita was sitting on the couch right beside him, there faces were only inches away. His breath caught in his throat with the other being so close to him, his face flushed a deep red when he was asked if he had something else in mind. The way Akita had said it as well as the fact that he caught the vampire taking a look at his neck where Alex knew the two dots remained from being bitten last night made him realize what was being hinted at. It really had been good, there was no denying that he had like it. But... should they do it again? They didn't really know each other after all, and this was still all rather strange.

 

Clearing his throat and trying to get a hold on himself again he looked up at the other trying to get his heart to calm down and the blush coloring his face to disappear. "My original idea was innocent..." Alex murmured though it was hard to deny that now his mind was on their last encounter and his thoughts were no longer them just innocently hanging out in his apartment and spending time together.

[mik3la]

"You causing yourself damage was never something I intended to happen."

 

That answer took him by surprise, not knowing if he could trust him or not yet. It felt still that he still had to be cautious but a little faith never killed anyone, right?

"Alright ... " he said feeling a little tired and starting yawning. He felt exhausted. After all his been through, he didn't manage to rest enough. His eyes fell so heavy that he was barely was able to keep the open.

He leaned on the pillow and against the wall, trying to still stay awake.

"I just feel so tired" he mumbled feeling his body falling because of the tiredness.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

The question about him being human was still hanging in his mind. He couldn't remember anymore how it was when he was human. All those memories were locked somewhere far behind in his mind, being blocked to even rise a single memory of it.

 

"My original idea was innocent..."

 

He smiled again, amused by the way the other tried to get himself out of that so called 'misunderstanding' but he could tell by the way the other blushed that he thought of something not so innocent.

"Maybe, but now is not so innocent anymore" he said in a low seductive voice, touching the other on his neck with his thin cold fingers, keeping eye contact as he continued speaking. "Your mind just jumped back on what happened last night" he added keeping that satisfactory smile on his face. "You want to feel that again ... to feel your body melt" he whispered as his hand moved downwards on the others chest and on his tights. His eyes glowing red. He could feel the blood rushing in the others vains and almost wanted to take another bite of the boy, but he tried to keep that hunger in control.

 

Seeing the boy reaction and the rise of his pulse, he smiled , pleasant if himself but then moved to the other end of the couch , leaving some space between them. "Sadly i cannot do that without biting you. Which would be against the rules and be in trouble again"

[Sathenus]

Seeing how tired the boy was he smiled softly at him, getting up from where he had been sitting Medive moved to gently get the other into a more comfortable position. Lying him down on the bed and pulling the blanket over him. By this point he noticed that the other was already asleep which only made his little pet look more adorable. Grabbing the tray he left the room, shutting and locking the door behind him. Taking the tray back to the kitchen he went to his room, summoning Jonah to him as he wanted the boy's company. Or rather, he wanted the use of his body to distract him for a little while. It was a nice distraction, and before long he was sitting in his bed, book in his hand with Jonah lying beside him covered by the blanket but otherwise completely naked.

 

That was the purpose behind his little lover after all, well Jonah and Susan, but the girl wasn't someone whose company he wanted very often. He definitely leaned more towards other men. Glancing towards the younger vampire his mind went over his lover again. Suddenly he was curious about whether or not he could end up having his little pet beside him instead. It was a highly appealing thought, but before he could try anything remotely like this he had to gain his full trust and make sure he no longer wanted to escape and was instead happy with his life here. That was a hard thing for him to do, deep down Medive still found the human race as nothing but food or objects for his experiments.

 

*~*~*~*~*

 

In no way whatsoever did Alex want to admit that now his idea wasn't so innocent anymore. It was Akita's fault that his innocent idea for them to watch TV or play a card game together had been turned into this instead! He wanted to speak but before he could he felt the other's cool fingers on his neck causing a pleasant shiver to rake down his spine and make him take in a slightly unsteady breath, his mind really was reeling wanting to focus on what they had done the night before and how good he had felt.

 

"N-no it's not!" Alex tried denying when he was told that his mind had jumped back to what had happened last night. In no way did he want to admit that it had done just that, he also didn't want it to seem like he would always be that easy to arouse and convince either. The more Akita spoke though the more he felt his resolve faltering, he did want to feel that again, he wanted to feel his body melt beneath the other's again and there probably would be little fight in him whenever that was an option. Alex managed to breath out a soft but clearly excited 'yes' to that even despite his best judgement.

 

His heart was pounding in his chest again, Alex had just noticed the smile that crossed Akita's face when the other moved away from him. Shifting to the other end of the couch and leaving now unwanted space between them. Alex managed to blink and bring himself out of his thoughts when the other man told him that he could not do that without biting him and thus breaking the rules and getting into trouble again. Instantly a pout crossed his face and he gave the vampire a look stating that he clearly did that on purpose. "Why do your rules matter tonight? Aren't there ways around them?" There was no hiding the neediness that was in his voice. He really did want them to repeat what they had done the night before, more so than he had ever thought he would want to do so.

[mik3la]

*(for now i will continue only with Akita, we leave the other to rest *

 

"Why do your rules matter tonight? Aren't there ways around them?"

 

Akita couldn't contain himself and burst into laughing. But not because of the boy and all, but because of what he said. It amused him how now the human wanted him, well, he had played a part in seducing him and all, but he didn't used any vampiric power on him.

 

"Now look who is so needy" he said amused.

 

He turned his head to one side, acting like he thinks about what the boy asked, thenturned his gaze back to him.

 

"I don't thing there is one" he said playing it hard, wanting to see how much did the human want it.

He knew there was a possibility, a catch so to speak. If the human was giving it willingly then there was no problem. There was no breaking the rules. Having the humans approval was 'legal' so to say.

 

"Wait ... i think there might be a loop" he said tilting his finger on his chin acting like a pro. "I wouldn't brake the rules unless .... " he paused looking at the boy, moving slowly closer to the boy, letting out his white fangs. He stopped his hand under Alex's chin, tilting his head a little, meeting his eyes. "Unless the human is willingly giving it" he whispered into the other's ear, licking the side of his neck. The other side where he wasn't touched by his fangs.

[Sathenus]

Alex felt his face flush again when he heard Akita express that now he was the one who was being needy. It was hard not to be, not when his body was aching for what it had gotten last night, the first time in over a year that anyone had made him feel so weak and pleasured. The thought of going back to not having sex or having anyone make him feel that was was oddly depressing. A small frown crossed his face when the other appeared to be thinking before saying that he didn't think there was a way around the rules. It wasn't what he wanted to hear, in fact, he so desperately wanted it that he was willing to try to convince Akita to break the rules anyway.

 

A curious and yet hopeful expression crossed his face when the other suddenly said that there might be a way. It was clear by how he was looking that he wanted to hear what the other had to say. Noticing him move closer just made him listen with more anticipation, it was then that he realized that Akita's fangs were clearly drawn making his hazel eyes move to meet the other's red gaze again. "Willingly given?" He repeated as though he hadn't heard him right the first time. But he had heard it just fine, and he was sure his actions as well as the needy and somewhat desperate look in his eyes was enough to clearly state he was willing.

 

"I am willing though. So... that means you wouldn't be breaking any rules, right?" Alex said as he moved a little closer to the other, wanting their bodies to be closer as well while he turned his head ever so slightly to keep their eyes locked. He was a little nervous, especially since Akita had leaned towards the other side of his neck, the side that didn't have the two fang marks left in it. Was he going to end up leaving two new ones? It was a possibility, and it made him wonder once more how he would possible hide such a thing. It didn't seem like it'd be an easy feat, but he didn't care. He could always worry about it later, right now he had more pleasurable things on his mind. "I will willingly give it." He murmured, his voice heated and making it clear that he was more than willing.

[mik3la]

Feeling the press his body on his and the way he spoke made him want him as much as the boy did. There was an unspoken attraction that he felt it from the moment he realized that this boy wasn't the shikon,but he didn't cared and still was drawn by him. And now, seeing the eagerness in the others movements and words he just couldn't contain himself. Yes, the loop was true, if the human is freely and willingly giving up his blood to a vampire, then there was no rule breaking. That was the only door out from the rule breaking. He was happy that he payed attention to those night classes that he had.

 

"Very well then" he whispered letting his fangs sink into the boy's neck, right between the neck and shoulder, that way the marks could be hidden. He moved his hand beneath the boy's shirt, holding him by the back, while pressing his body on the boy's. He tried to take small gulps of blood, even if his animal instinct was telling him to just suck the boy dry.

 

Growling and moaning while drinking, he pinned his body to Alex, feeling his every muscle through the fabric of his clothes. Releasing the boys neck, he licked the wounds to stop the bleeding, and with a skillful movement, he threw the shirt off the boy, leaving him bare chested. He tried to control his fangs to retract, so that he wouldn't hurt the boy as he was moving with the touch of his lips on the small pink nipples. He freed his hand and moved it downwards towards the tights and on the boys crotch.

[Sathenus]

There was no ignoring how pleased Alex felt and looked when Akita agreed and he felt the vampire's fangs on his skin. There was a familiar sort of pain he felt when they initially sunk into his flesh making him let out a slightly pained groan, but that pain faded rather quickly into pleasure. Alex felt himself being overtaken by the feeling again, their bodies were pressed close together and he felt the other's hand under his shirt and on his bare skin. This time Akita didn't seem to drink from him nearly as long as the night before, pulling back before licking his new wounds shut to stop the bleeding.

 

It was again quicker than he could blink that he was relieved of his shirt, hazel eyes locking on the other again. His body was giving away just how needy he was, Alex had already felt hot and aroused at the memory of last night and wanting the other. Now that he had been fed from again that arousal and neediness only seemed to have tripled. The other's lips on his nipple made him moan and arch his back to press into his touch once again. "Akita!" He moaned happily, his own hands moved to try to rid the other of his shirt just as he felt the man's hand move to his thighs then his crotch.

 

This made his breath catch in his throat again and yet another pleasured sound escape him. His body felt electrified, and he was desperate to feel more. "I need you..." He breathed out as he gave him yet another needy look. This was a side of him he didn't know, it was not remotely like him to act this way even with other men he had dated. And yet... it also felt so right. Something about Akita drew this side of him out, and it wasn't just the venom running through his veins. Alex knew that this side of him was being drawn out by Akita himself, and the attraction he felt towards him. A strong attraction he had never experienced, and that made him want to have the other around more and get to know him more personally.

[mik3la]

Hearing the others moans and pleads only turned him on even more. HE wanted to feel him too. In his head was a complete mess. He didn't cared anymore about anything that was about the vampire. He moved with the kisses further down, reaching the edge of the pants which he took them down, leaving the boy naked.

He than moved to the side a little, undressing himself this time, remaining naked as well.

Spreading the boys legs, he settled himself in between, he pulled the boy by the waist to get him closer to him.

 

Licking his he moved his hips to the boy's small entrance and pushed himself all the way in, growling once he reached all the way in. He leaned in his hands on each side of the boy's body, to keep him above the boy, as he was starting to move back and forth at first slow, only to raise the speed, growling with every thrust. "Ngh .... mngghh ..." His eyes started to glow again, feeling the blood in Alex's body rushing in his veins. He bend his head down, not stopping the pace, and bite the boy on the same spot. Having sex and drinking from someone was the most euphoric thing, for the human experience.

[Sathenus]

Akita held his hungry gaze when the man had move slightly to the side to undress himself, leaving them both naked. Sure it was strange that they were about to have sex in his living room, on his couch something that had never crossed his mind to do before but Alex truly didn't care either since he was to impatient to suggest they move to his bedroom. It appeared as though he wasn't the only one who was eager as his legs were spread, Akita settling himself between them only to pull him by his waist so they were pressed together.

 

Their eyes locked and he felt the vampire's cock pressing against his hole only seeming to make the ache he felt in his body more prominent. Thankfully, he didn't have to wait long for Akita to be sinking into him, a pleasured moan his response to being filled again. The slow pace that the other man started with was appreciated at first, but he found himself losing patience with it, it seemed whenever he was losing patience though the other seemed to speed up making his body ignite in pleasure. Alex was only slightly aware of the fact that Akita's eyes were glowing red again before he felt his fangs sinking into his neck again in the same spot.

 

It seemed as though the response from his body was instant, his back arching and pressing himself against the other. Without really thinking he even wrapped his arms tightly around the other's shoulder, wanting their bodies to remain close and pressed together. It didn't matter to him that he was beginning to feel a little light headed again. His heart fluttered both from the pleasure he was feeling and trying to keep replenishing what his body was loosing. Alex even felt breathless, whenever he was able to pull in breaths between pleasured moans and whines they were shaky and unsteady.

[mik3la]

Akita managed to control himself and realized that it was enough how much he drank from the other. So, with one last gulp, he retreared his fangs and placed kisses over the small wounds so that they could heal.

 

Feeling the others grip on his back only turned him even more on, wanting to brake him. Keeping his balance in one hand, he moved the other in between them grabbing the others cock, strocking it in the same rhythm like his thrusts. After a few seconds he rushed the rhythm wanting to reach climax at the same time with Alex this time.

[Sathenus]

A groan was his response to feeling the fangs slip out from him before kisses were pressed over where he had been bitten. A deep moan was his encouragement when he felt a hand snake between their bodies and wrap around his cock, stroking him in time with the thrusts. His body felt like it was melting, a feeling he really wished he could get used to. There was a very strong part of him that wanted it to become normal for Akita to visit him. Though it wasn't just because he wanted sex from the vampire, Alex genuinely hoped over time they'd get to know each other better and enjoy each just hanging out together as well as having sex.

 

The thrust picking up speed caused him to grip onto Akita tighter, he could feel his release being coaxed from his body and as the thrusts continued he was desperate to give him what he wanted. It didn't take much more before Alex reached his climax, moaning loudly as his muscle tightened around the cock buried inside of him. After Akita had filled him he relaxed his body against the couch and for a moment his arms remained tightly around the vampire before he released his hold on him and let his arms relax at his sides. Hazel eyes looking up into red, "I think I could get used to you visiting me." Alex mused with a small smile.

 

Was it a bad thing that he wanted Akita to come back? He honestly wasn't sure, but he liked the idea of seeing him more. The only downside he found to Akita paying him a visit was as a vampire he showed up at night, meaning by the time the other had finished drinking from him and them having sex he was physically and mentally exhausted. Alex could already feel the tiredness setting in. His mind was so dazed from the loss of blood he had experienced once more as well as the pleasant feeling still thrumming through his body that before he realized what he was doing he had reached up, running his fingers over Akita's cheek before be pulled the vampire down for a kiss. This was something he wanted, he missed having someone around like this and even if this shouldn't be he'd enjoy it while he had the opportunity to do so.

 

When the kiss broke he gave the other a small smile, "I think my only complaint is that you visit me at night. Isn't there any chance I'd be able to keep you at least for a day?" It was an honest question, he was sure there was probably some rule to this as well. But... he wanted to Akita here, even if they couldn't go out and do anything all day he was sure he had stuff around his apartment that they could do together and they could more importantly, spend time together. He wanted to believe after all that he was more than just food for Akita.

[mik3la]

"I think I could get used to you visiting me.

"I think i can too", he said still keeping his balance in his hands looking at the other with his blue eyes. His normal mortal color eyes.

He was caught out of guard when the boy grabbed him and kissed him. He never kissed a human or a vampire before. Maybe he did in his mortal life, that he couldn't be sure. But everytime he had sex with someone he never kissed. He thiught that the kiss is only whit the one that will spend eternety with him. But now, he wasnt sure anymore. He didnt dislike it. He had to be honest at least with him. He didnt pulled back or anything. This kiss changed everyting for Akita. could it be ... could it ve that i found someone for me too? No ... i'm a monster ... there's no one for me...

"I think my only complaint is that you visit me at night. Isn't there any chance I'd be able to keep you at least for a day?

 

Akita was silent and for the moment blocked. This was wrong. He shouldnt engage with humans. Shouldn't get feelings for humans because they were going to die and vampires were immortals. He got up and started to dress up. "This is not right. We shouldnt see each other ... this will never work" he said while getting his pants button up and put his shirt on.

[Sathenus]

Alex had to admit to himself if no one else that he was extremely pleased to hear Akita agree that he could get used to visiting him. It just made him have even more hope that he wouldn't stop visiting him anytime soon. He was able to tell that Akita had been caught off guard by him pulling him down into a kiss, but he had wanted to kiss him. Alex wasn't the type to just have sex and not get some sort of sign of affection.

 

He was aware of how quiet the vampire became when he had mentioned is one and only complaint, and a moment later he was pulling away from him and started to get dressed. Alex sat up, shifting so he was sitting on his knees on the couch, hands resting in front of him and a pout clear on his face. Especially when he was told that this wasn't right, and that they should see each other. For a moment he just pouted at the other before he sighed and glanced away from him.

 

"You came to me first." He grumbled. Which was very true, Akita had come to him, he had not asked for the vampire to follow him home and then decide to come back and see him the next night. Alex was still quite disappointed with how Akita had responded to his statement and then asking if he could keep him for at least a day. "You don't have to stay. I was just asking." Alex grumbled.
