The brunette ran as quickly as he could towards the giant castle that rested deep in the forest. His legs were already aching, and his breathing was labored, but even so he had to keep going. He couldn’t just stay home and wonder if his love would be all right. As weak of a human he may be he wasn’t about to let a few cuts, and scrapes get in his way of seeing Reita. Not now, not ever. 

 

“Please be here…” He managed to reach the wooden door, and with a slight push it creaked open. His boots touched the hard floor of the castle, and his body tensed when the door slammed shut behind him. This place always was unsettling, but the other man just had to be somewhere in here. The brunette gulped before making his way deeper into the cold mansion, goose bumps forming on his pale skin as a soft breeze pushed past the curtains that hung from the windows. When he finally made it to the stairs he bit on his lip, hoping he wouldn’t find the other man in too bad a shape. Even if Reita was stronger than an ordinary human, that didn’t mean their weapons couldn’t hurt him.

 

A sigh left Ruki’s lips at the thought. He couldn’t help but feel as if the whole thing was his fault. In his village people knew such creatures existed in this world, but that didn’t mean they accepted them. Vampires were the worst of all monsters that were on this earth. They had no fear of humans, and to them people were always easy prey. It became almost normal to find bodies drained of blood everyday. Their lifeless corpses lying discarded on the floor for their poor loved ones to find. And even though Ruki knew what they did was horrible he was thankful to have these creatures roam his world. Because he would have never been able to meet the man he fell in love with.  

 

 

Ruki whined deep in his throat as he made his way down the dirt road. The wind kept sweeping over him, making his body shake uncontrollably. If he didn’t find shelter soon he was sure he’d freeze to death.

 

“Out of all the nights to get lost it had to be this cold!” He rubbed his palms together to create some friction until he found somewhere warm enough to sleep for the night. He picked up his pace trying to make his way through the dark forest trees. He knew somewhere beyond these damned woods his village lied, but with his horrible sense of direction there was no chance he’d find it tonight. He groaned in annoyance, but once he turned the corner his eyes lit up with hope. He could see a faint flicker of a torch dancing in the night, and with a small smile he ran towards it.

 

As quickly as he could he jogged down the dirt path, his boots kicking up dust and rocks along the way. He set his eyes on that orange light, already feeling warmth spread throughout his frail body. Just a bit more and he’d be there. He rounded the next corner in a hurry, completely missing the steep hill. He let out a yelp when he found himself sliding down the road, small rocks scraping against his hands.

 

“Ow…” He shakily pulled his hands up towards his face, grimacing at the small scrapes he had on them. If he wasn’t so cold he’d probably be feeling the pain a little bit more, but right now that wasn’t the problem. He needed to get inside or else he would find himself caught in a storm. He gently pushed himself up from the ground, dusting off his pants and coat as he walked the rest of way towards what he assumed to be…a castle.

 

“What on earth is this thing doing in the middle of nowhere?” He questioned, his hand already balled into a fist as he approached the wooden door. With a small knock he stood back staring pleadingly at the entrance. “Please open…”

 

He blew softly on his hands, standing near the lit torch as he waited outside. When no answer came he knocked again, only to have the door open on its own, its hinges screeching.

 

Hesitantly, he made his way inside the castle gasping at just how big the place really was. Never in his life did he think he’d ever see something as odd, and yet beautiful as this place. The stonewalls were lit with torches, a long red carpet running down the hallway, and long curtains hanging from the windows shutting out the cold. He was grateful to have found such a decent place to stay for the night, but…did anyone live here? He walked further into the hall, his boots leaving small trails of dirt on the carpet. He felt horrible for leaving such a mess on something so pretty but his shoes were caked in dirt, and right now his mind was focused on finding someone, anyone who could possibly reside in this place.          

 

 

“H-Hello? Is anyone in here?” His voice echoed off the walls, his eyes searching for any sign of existence in this castle.

 

“You’re getting dirt on my floors human.”

 

Ruki jumped at the sudden words, his head shooting forward to find a rather young looking man sitting upon what seemed to be…a throne. Ruki stared at the man in surprise, his heart hammering in his chest from the shock. He looked around quickly only to find himself in a huge room full of large windows, each one with the curtains open letting in the moonlight. But when he heard a grunt he looked back to the other who was sitting with his chin in his hand as he stared rather stoically at Ruki.

 

“I-I’m sorry I just-“

 

“Silence…”

 

Ruki whimpered at the harsh tone of the other’s voice, and took a small step back when the blond man looked him over.

 

Reita looked the pathetic being over, his dark orbs shining with interest as he took in the appearance of the young boy before him. He knew the human couldn’t be any older than 20, but when he was about to ask the younger man’s name, he caught a scent in the air. He closed his eyes and took in the sweet smell, his once dark orbs now shining red.

 

“You’re bleeding…”

 

The brunette looked down at his injured palms, small droplets of blood leaking down each cut. He clasped his hands tightly together, and just shook his head.

 

”No it’s nothing...I just…fell.”

 

Reita let a growl slip past his lips, and he placed his gloved hands on the arms of his throne, pushing himself up as he walked towards the human, black trench coat billowing around him. The smell of that sweet liquid was getting stronger, and with each step he took his eyes would glow brighter. It’s been far too long since he smelt blood this sweet. Ruki’s breath caught in his throat, and instinctively he took steps back, and as the taller man got closer he couldn’t stop himself. He turned around swiftly, his eyes set on the door he came through. He ran as fast as his tired legs could take him but before he could manage another step he found himself face to face with the blond man.

 

Ruki blinked at the odd position, his eyes traveling up to see that the blond’s boots were settled on the ceiling of the room, the man was literally hanging upside down.

 

 “Y-You’re not human!”

 

Reita chuckled darkly at the fear in the younger’s eyes, his lips forming a smirk as he looked into those brown orbs. “Your hands human, show them to me.”

 

Ruki whined, and pulled his arms back not wanting anything to do with this creature. When the brunette didn’t cooperate, Reita scowled and dropped from his place on the ceiling landing gracefully in front of the boy as he forcefully grabbed Ruki’s hands. He looked deep into those brown pools, now amused at the look of curiosity he was getting.

 

“What’s your name boy?”

 

Ruki gasped when his hands were gripped tightly, his eyes meeting the now crimson ones of the blond. “It’s…Ruki.”

 

Reita made a noise of approval, his eyes landing back on the two bloody hands he held in his. The smell was absolutely delectable, and he roughly brought the palms close to his lips. With a smile he stared at the human, and slowly began to lick the wounds clean. 

 

Ruki hissed at the pain, his eyes shutting as a blush crept across his cheeks. Who was this man, and why was he-Ruki let out a scream when something sliced into his already abused flesh, making more blood spill forth from him.

 

Greedily, Reita lapped every drop of it up, growls spilling from his mouth. The taste…it was addicting, every single drop was like sweet heaven for him. He chuckled at the thought, as if heaven was even waiting for him. But even so, he could always settle for this. This human boy.

 

“Unique…unlike anything else.”

 

Ruki fought back the tears as the blond kept licking his hands. He just wanted to leave, be gone from this place but now he wasn’t so sure he’d survive tonight. He cracked his eyes open when the tongue finally stopped, and he gasped when he saw the blond licking around his lips. He could clearly make out two sharp fangs, and it finally clicked in his head.

 

“A vampire…”

 

Reita laughed, and stepped closer to Ruki, his breath hitting the other’s face as he spoke.

 

“My name is Reita.”

 

And all Ruki saw was black.

 

 

 

Ruki smiled faintly at the memory, he remembered finding himself in a room the next morning. Large red blankets covering his small body. He was warm, and felt so much better than he did the night before. It seemed Reita didn’t plan to kill him after all.

 

“I owe you so much…” He whispered, his boots thumping on the hard stone stairs. When he got to the top he turned the corner, running towards the open door only to find Reita slumped against the wall, eyes closed, and blood dripping down his mouth. He felt tears forming in his eyes, and just decided to let them fall as he walked over to his love. This was his fault, if he had just stayed away from the vampire like he was told, his lover wouldn’t be in such pain.

 

The people of his village had somehow found out who he was seeing and when they found him with the monster, as they liked to call him, they obviously didn’t take it too well. And Ruki found himself with a gun to his face, his own father holding the weapon. And before he knew it all he heard was a gunshot and several screams. When he opened his eyes again he found Reita kneeling on the ground, blood dripping from several areas of his body. Without so much as a word, the vampire left, leaving Ruki staring at the bodies of his friends and father. 

 

“You…You shouldn’t be here.”

 

Ruki was torn from his thoughts when he found the blond staring at him, breath weak as he spoke softly. The younger man shook his head, and stepped closer to his lover.

 

“I belong here.”

 

“No you don’t!” Reita snapped, wincing in pain as he held his hand to his stomach. “You’re a fool for ever thinking we belong together. I told you before, stay away. I cannot give you what you want.” 

 

“I don’t care about any of that…”

 

Ruki settled on his knees next to the fallen man, his eyes sparkling with sincerity. His brown orbs traveled over Reita’s clothed chest, eyes stopping on a small cut just above the vampire’s collarbone. He timidly placed his soft palms onto the other, leaning down slowly till his lips were inches away from the small gash left from the fight. Shyly, he let his tongue slip from between his lips eyes half-lidded as he lapped slowly at the blood dripping from Reita’s cut. He could hear the elder gasp, and hiss in slight pain but when he looked up he found the blond staring at him.

 

“Ruki…” Reita stared blankly at the sight, his Ruki eagerly lapping at his blood was more than arousing to him, but letting this boy become any closer wasn’t something he needed to happen.

 

“Stop that.” His voice was weak, and anything but angry. The love he held for this human was beyond anything he ever felt before. If he could live the rest of his so called life with Ruki he would, but knowing what problems would lie ahead for them both…it just wouldn’t be worth putting his lover in danger for his own selfish desires. 

 

Ruki pulled back from Reita, his eyes meeting those dark ebony orbs he fell in love with. He could see fear and doubt growing in those pools, and a sigh left his lips as he embraced the taller man instantly knowing what was going on in that head of his.

 

“You don’t have to be afraid you know.”

 

“I fear nothing-“

 

“I’ve known you for a while Rei, it’s not that easy to hide your feelings from me anymore.” The shorter man smiled warmly at the blond, his fingers tracing a path across Reita’s rough lips. The skin beneath his fingers was cold, and to anyone else the mere thought of being near a corpse was something to fear. But to Ruki he couldn’t be happier. Reita may be a monster to some, a creature that shouldn’t have even been placed on this earth, but to Ruki, Reita was so much more than that. He loved every last bit of the man, Vampire or not.

 

The tall blond took the wrist of the younger in his hand, closing his eyes when those warm and soft fingertips touched his lips, sliding to his cheek where they stopped their journey on his face. He knew Ruki was right there was no one on this planet that knew him as well as the young brunette did. They were just too close for their own good and perhaps he really should have ended this along time ago. But he couldn’t let the other go; deep inside he knew he needed Ruki. The boy became a permanent fixture in his life and the thought of leaving him behind was painful even for someone like him.       

 

“Warm…”

 

Ruki blushed when the vampire nuzzled his palm, his body shivering at the hot breath ghosting over his hand. He watched as the blond kissed his fingertips, obviously enjoying the body heat he felt.

 

“Reita...”

 

The vampire growled deep in his throat, nipping at the slender fingers. Blood dripped from Ruki’s fingertip, and the blond immediately sucked on the digit. Red smeared across his lower lip, making him groan in pleasure at the sweet taste of his Ruki. He stared up at the younger who was now crawling into his lap, a worried look on his face. Reita already knew what was on his mind.

 

“I’ll be fine…”

 

“This is my fault.”

 

“Silence…”

 

Ruki obeyed, and merely let the other play with his fingers a smile appearing on his lips at the childish behavior.

 

“Please Reita, don’t turn me away.”

 

“You can’t be with me.”

 

“Why?”

 

“I’ll ruin your life.”

 

“You could only ever make it better…”
