Well, This Bloody Sucks

Darjeeling Tea

In my successful effort to make it to my room without passing out, I place my hand on the doorknob when I suddenly hear faint moaning.

The hell is going on? Is there another girl over hear? Is she ok?

My interest piqued, I gently open the door expecting to see another innocent girl having her blood sucked.

How very wrong I am.

I almost gasp at the sight; Reiji, sitting in the middle of his room, is fast asleep making the moaning sounds.

Despite him probably suffering a nightmare, I have to say that he looks pretty hot without his glasses on.

Yes, he is a vampire; does that suddenly mean I can't have an attraction to him?

I decide to end the suffering he's experiencing in his fantasy world and reach out to him to coax him awake when...

"What do you think you're doing in here?"

"Gah! You're awake!" I jump back in surprise.

"I can't believe that you actually woke me up with the scent of your blood." He says as he places his glasses in their rightful position.

I blink in surprise. "Me neither."

Seriously though, can you smell blood while you're sleeping?

"Honestly though, I prefer it to the dream I was having." He laughs scornfully at himself. "It wasn't even a dream; it was a nightmare."

I fall quiet at the fact that despite their immortality and special abilities, vampires are a little bit similar to humans. Just a little bit though.

"Can I help you with something?" Reiji asks.

"I'm fine Reiji. I only came to hear you because you were moaning in your nightmare."

"Well, I'll be having a spot of tea."

I stand awkwardly whilst he prepares some tea in a bone china cup. I stay like that whilst he returns to his chair and starts sipping delicately.

"It seems that I'd have to explain your position to you after all. Honestly humans are pathetic." He states after one of his delicate sips. "Did you honestly believe that I would make a cup of tea for you? I shall treat you to the smell instead. You should feel privileged by the fact."

Oh, should I? Then please explain to my why the hell I feel so inferior to you, Oh Mighty One.

I regard his offer though and deeply inhale the scent of tea.

I almost hold my breath in mild shock.

"It's Darjeeling." I regard with wide eyes.

"Hmm. It seems that you're not that stupid after all." Reiji states impressed.

"Don't think much of it. We Brits are famous for our tea!" I joke half-heartedly, masking my sadness.

Why is everything here reminding me of mum?

I change the subject quickly. "Does Shu like tea?" I ask him.

"You will no longer say that name around me. Just hearing it makes my ears feel unclean." He glares at me coldly.

"Why do you hate him so much? You said that he was pretty spoiled as a child. Is that why?" I delve hoping to uncover some secrets in this house.

"You don't need to know the reason behind that." He sets his tea aside and walks to the window, seemingly contemplating something.
