Vampire Kisses

106: Shuichi

I held Kokichi against my chest as I moved him into the back seat. I could tell this action made his face slightly pink. I was nicely surprised by this, especially because he didn't hide his blush from me. He would usually hide it with his scarf or even just suppress it. "Shu?" Kokichi asked, poking my cheek. I felt my whole face heat up at this...I don't think I was distracted, but if he said something and I didn't listen I would feel terribly bad.

"Sorry--I spaced out again didn't I?" I said moving my hands to rest on his hips. He was sitting in my lap and his face was fairly close to my own. I blushed at that alone. Just the way his eyes were looking at me in such a way. So full of love and admiration that it made that guilt I had drift away from my thoughts so I was only focusing on him.

"Yeah--but I don't blame you for that~ I just asked you if you could rub my back is all~" He slowly moved his hands to touch my own before one by one he moved them to his shoulders. I smiled to myself feeling my heart feel warm at the touch before I moved my hands to slowly and softly rub his back. He shuddered a bit at this and moved closer. "That fight really stressed you out didn't it?" Kokichi asked me stop for a moment before he groaned.

"Yes of course it did--you could have been hurt or worse--" I said not being able to finish my statement with 'you could have been killed' but he seemed to hear it anyway. "I won't leave you Shumai, and I definitely won't die on you okay? Vampires are supposed to live forever--so let us spend all the rest of forever together." His voice was soft and I could tell he was tired. I felt exhausted because with all the things Undi did--and what he made Kurai do to Kokichi...I just need a moment to be with Kokichi without either of our lives getting in some sort of danger.

Because when my shoulders and my entire body are stressed I am unable to actually sleep at all. So when we get back I want Kokichi to just hold me and show me how much he loves me. I know he does, but in these stressful moments I want to be able to hear him say those words to me again and again, making me fall for him all over again.

"Koki, I love you." I let the words slip from between my lips as he hummed against my shoulder. "Me too baby, me too." He said, sighing contently at the touch. It was nice to know that even after all of that he still wants to be with me.

He could have been living a normal life with Nagito and Hajime as his best friends...but here we are together and still in danger. Sure the first wave of danger passed...but I know that this isn't the end of the danger. And I know that Kokichi knows this as well.

Shuichi, you know we have talked about this before...but if you want to be able to go off the map. Meaning people don't notice the bond you both have and other vampires won't be attracted to the bond you both have...you are both going to have to be away from each other.

After Hess said this I remembered something Cathy said a while back to me and Kokichi after that whole possession thing happened with Kurai.

"You would both have to be away from each other during that time, at least 50 miles apart from one another." She said looking down. "There is a way where you could be able to do this, in a less painful way, but to do that the distance would have to stay the same, but you would be able to communicate through me and Hess."

I flinched at even the thought of being apart...but it was something that would have to be done. Kokichi slowly moved to look me in the eyes...and I could tell from that simple gaze that Syn must have told him the same thing.

How would I ever be apart from Kokichi? How should I ever have to be apart from him? I don't want to do this...because something could happen while we are apart and then we would both be left in danger because we are stronger together.

"Hey, I can tell you both are thinking about something." Cathy said looking back at the two of us. I blushed at the eye contact and Kokichi spoke up. "Yes, but what does that matter to you?" He asked with a smile on his cheeks. Cathy sighed and looked at me.

"Shuichi, if you are thinking about doing the solitude from each other...then me and Kurai already have a plan to make sure the two of you are able to stay safe." Cathy said as Kurai nodded his head. I widened my eyes. "And What is this plan you have?" I asked holding Kokichi close to me. I wanted to be able to keep him safe and putting him in the hands of Cathy or even Kurai--made me feel so sick.

"Well you see--"
