Compromise

Chapter 3

Our performance in Music Station has ended. As we stepped in the back stage, she's there holding a bottle of cold mineral water. She looked at me timidly then she approached me and gave me the bottle of water. I grabbed it and continued my way to the dressing room.

When I'm in the dressing room, I dropped my body onto the couch and sighed. Then her face pop into my mind. Will she be able to live longer? I sucked her blood for two consecutive days. And if I'll suck her blood everyday then she might die early... that will be a pain in the ass because I have to find another one... and I know finding another one is so difficult. I invested on her for two years. So, should I refrain myself from sucking her blood for the meantime?

Not long after, the others came including her. Daichan's hand is over her shoulders. Seems like they got along well already.

"And you know what? He's really fond of making himself beautiful. I think it started when we were 15 or 16 years old. And among his beauty paraphernalia, the most important thing to him is his lip cream," Daichan told her.

My brows furrowed. Is he talking about me? Then he looked at me with a grim grin on his face.

"You should hide it some time so that you'll see how scary of a monster he is," he continued. "Isn't it, Yabu~kun? Takaki?" he asked the two.

Yabu~kun and Yuya laughed as they nodded.

"Well, we didn't actually hide his lip cream. We just used it one time and he became angry. Hmm... he was already a vampire that time that's why I was really frightened. He might suck all of my blood from my body," Yuya said while still laughing.

It's indeed me who they are talking about. Tch! Why are they treating her like that? She's just a container of blood and she shouldn't be happy like that!

Haha! Yeah, of course! This won't really be a nightmare to her because she's surrounded by the handsome and cool members of Hey! Say! JUMP. She's still lucky even though she's only a container of blood.

That continued. She became closer to the other members. When she's with them she's always laughing and all. And that irritated me! It's kind of annoying to see her being happy like that. Shall I torture her one time so that she'll know where she belongs? Tss.

As if I got her to feel pleasured and happy like that. She should just feel pain and suffering! That girl! She'll see what she's looking for!

It's been two weeks since the last time I drank her blood. It's the same feeling when I was thirsty for blood before she came into my dark bloody world. I can still perform on stage just that once in a while I felt dizzy. Maybe a week more and she'll be alright, her blood may have been fully refueled that time then.

After Shounen Club, I sat down on the couch in the dressing room and closed my eyes as I set my thumb and fore finger on my temples.

I felt dizzy again and this time my throat is really burning. Like that of a burning dry desert. Without opening my eyes, I heard the door creaked open. Foot steps coming towards me...

"Ryosuke~kun?" her fragile voice spoke.

I raised an eyebrow as I opened my eyes. She's there, standing. Looking at me timidly and with questioning eyes.

"What?" I asked coldly.

"Hmm... Are you okay?" she asked.

"Mind your own business," I said then I closed my eyes again.

"Ettou... I-I'm just wondering if you're okay because you haven't drank blood yet... I think it was already two weeks the last time you... y-you drank my b-blood..." she said, stuttering.

I opened my eyes and looked at her in the eye but after some seconds she evaded.

"You're a masochist, aren't you?" I smirked.

"H-huh?" she asked, her eye brows furrowed.

"Shouldn't you be happy because I'm not yet drinking your blood?" I asked.

"Y-yes... but I just thought..."

I dashed towards her and I'm just half an inch away from her as I leaned my face to her ear.

"Thought what?" I murmured to her ear.

She gasped. "I just thought that y-you're not okay... or... or you might g-get sick..."

"That's just it?" I asked. Still in a murmur.

"Y-yes..." she nodded.

"Hmmm?" I inhaled. "Well, let me ease your worry for me," I whispered as I brushed off her hair from her neck.

Just as I thought I can still hold it back... but I'm wrong... I can't hold it back anymore. I revealed my fangs and ready to bite her, I can hear the pulsating blood in her neck. The door opened.

"Hey!" it's Keito, he dashed towards us and pushed me away from her.

I just looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Don't you pity her? All you think is yourself!" he shouted at me.

"Are you pretending to be her hero, Keito?" I asked.

His brows furrowed.

"Well..." I stood up and walked towards them. "That won't work. I'm sorry," I pushed him aside and bite her on her neck.

At this point, I can no longer hold it back even if it's Superman to stop me.
