They've both been hungry for a very long time. It's too bad their hungers aren't exactly the same.. and neither were their species.
Elias once had a friend. A best friend at that. Unfortunately, Elias's friend disappeared in his 2nd year of middle s...
Kaiden pulled me into a deserted hallway. "Dammit Elias, you better not regret this. I'm already past my limit so I can't stop." He said while placing the bags on the ground.
"That's fine." I said. Never in my life had I seen Kaiden so distressed and out-of-it. His eyes were now a light shade of red and I could see him gritting his teeth, his sharp canines popping out and stabbing his lips. They had gotten sharper. Staring at them gave me a queasy feeling in my stomach. "..is this gonna hurt me?" I asked.
"No."
"Then what will it feel like?"
Kaiden seemed reluctant to answer. "I don't know.. but I heard from my mom that it'll feel like a numbing sensation."
What was that supposed to mean?! I couldn't get my nerves under control. I get that I was the one that convinced Kaiden to complete the claim, but how did it work? What was I supposed to do? Just stand here and look at him? Kaiden himself looked nervous and I didn't know what that meant. Either it was something embarrassing or just crazy.
"S-so what are we supposed to do?" I asked.
Kaiden's cheeks were slightly red. He rubbed his hands over his face and sighed.
"Fuck. This is embarrassing."
"W-what..?"
Kaiden looked away. "I just.. haven't done this. For Krasnyys, this is personal. Don't make me regret this, Elias."
"I won't! Just do it already.."
He raised a brow. "You really want it, huh?" And I could swear I felt myself shudder just at how deep his voice was.
I cringed and my face scrunched up."Y-you make it sound weird.."
I awkwardly shifted on my feet, wanting so badly to nibble on my nails. I couldn't help the way my heart hammered in my chest out of purse nervousness. Will I regret this? Who really knows. But all I knew was that I didn't want either of us to be in pain. Maybe it was my soft spot for Kaiden or maybe this was fueled by selfishness. Whatever it is doesn't matter.
"I trust you, Elias. So don't take advantage of me once we do complete the claim."
Advantage?
"H-how would I even do that..?"
Kaiden sighed. "A claim isn't just some harmless thing. I told you before, claims have been abused."
I could tell Kaiden wasn't joking just by his tone and the way his eyes were completely trained on me.
"I won't do anything t-to hurt you. I never will. S-so.. let's just get this over with." I said. Kaiden nodded then suddenly pressed himself up against me. His warm hands moved the neck of my shirt to the side, revealing my collar bone and my shoulder. I was immediately met by the coldness of the empty hallway.
