Month six
Day twenty-five, one-sixteen PM
(Yuichiro's POV)
"Hey Mika, are the vampires here happy?" Yuichiro spoke, staring into the now-stunning red eyes of his (sort-of) lover.
"Yuu-chan, vampires don't even feel emotion," Mikaela responded half-heartedly.
"B-But you act like you feel emotion...! O-Or was I may be wrong to assume that...?" The human one of the two responded in a panicky voice. Mikaela... Didn't feel emotion...?
"I- No- Yuu-chan, I'm... Different. I-... I feel emotion, just, just not for everyone." He stammered, suddenly much more alert and aware of the situation than before. Has Yuichiro struck a nerve?
"But, you love me, don't you?" He said meekly, now feeling very self-conscious and a little nervous, the thought that his best friend, his lover, his family, every role a person could play, didn't even particularly care or feel for him made Yuichiro's stomach turn.
"Of course, I love you! My emotions and feelings as a full vampire have already started to fade, but I promise, what I feel for you will never change, even as I lose heart for everything and everyone else." Mikaela finished off, hastily, but still whole-heartedly. Yuichiro felt that his words had a large level of truth behind them, and he trusted Mikaela anyway.
The room grew quiet for a small while, as no one had anything else to say on the topic without it being hurtful or meaningless. "..." Yuichiro sat in silence on the couch curled up in a large blanket on the couch with Mikaela who was cuddling together with him. "Are you happy, Mika?"
"Yuu-chan, nothing in this world other than you even can make me happy, and I have you here with me, where it's safe. Yes, I'm happy." He said calmly like it was common knowledge or something he had repeated in his head a thousand times before this.
Yuichiro smiled at him, feeling flattered, but then was reminded of why he started this conversation in the first place. "Well, I feel like no one could be happy spending their entire lives underground with nothing to do other than torment children and fap their days away forever."
"There's a higher chance that we won't die that way, so they prefer it like that. And there is nothing a vampire enjoys more than feeding, and here, there is unlimited food." Mikaela muttered, again like this was simply something that everyone knew and should know. "I only like it here because I get privacy and a free place to live, protection for both you and me. I couldn't have that anywhere else. Except maybe the human army but they are all dead."
Yuichiro frowned at the memory of his old friends and allies, watching them all die. But he shook it off, there was no point in getting all sad about that again.
"...Hey Mika..."
"Yes, Yuu-chan?"
"I feel like I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately, and like, weird surges of power and stuff like that. Is... Is that normal?" Yuichiro murmured, looking up at Mikaela with a small frown.
The blond looked as if he was suppressing a grin, which was strange, and his eyes glinted an emotion that was unknown to Yuichiro. What was it... Excitement? The boy always had such weird reactions to things these days... Did it have something to do with being a vampire?
"I just think you have to trust what the voice inside of you is saying, I guess, or more importantly, trust yourself. When- or more like if I happen to be, I'm not with you, then... Just pretend like I'm there, next to you, and do what I would want you to do." Mikaela said in a jittery and shaky voice. That made enough sense, but... It was a bit more complicated than that.
Lately, Yuichiro has felt like there is something else within his mind. He keeps on hearing these voices and echoes, having these weird dreams and random, strong spikes of both power and weakness. It was growing stressful for him, he was scared of change, and things inside him were definitely changing. The sudden sexuality of his relationship with Mika was enough weight for him to bear already, he wasn't prepared to take on more.
