My heart belongs to Yuu

5. Anything for Yuu

Yuu's POV:

"I want you to drink my blood." I said, without a moment's hesitation. The request seemed to startle Mika, he said he'd do anything, but the way he was looking at me now was like I'd asked the impossible. He even looked offended. "I don't know why you're looking at me like..."

"NO! I won't do it! You know I hate that, how could you ask me to do that?" He retorted. "If anything, at times it feels like you enjoy it even more than I hate it. Why is that Yuu? I'm sucking the life out of you when I do that... you know that right? So why? Why does it feel like you want me to do this now more for your own enjoyment than for my well-being?" He demanded.

I have to admit, I do enjoy it. He couldn't be asking a more valid question about the situation, it's a question I'd like answered myself. 'Why?' Why do I enjoy having him drink my blood? It's just like he says, when he does that, he's sucking the life out of me, especially when he's in a state like this, like so many time before where he's desperate for it. He could lose control in this state and kill me without even knowing it. I guess maybe that made it exciting, knowing that my life was in Mika's hands. I don't trust people easily, so being able to trust him with that, with my very life, it makes me feel... free. I love that feeling, but it's more than that. I don't know what yet, but it doesn't matter, this isn't about me, this is about him. Mika needs my blood right now, whether he's willing to admit it or not.

"I can't quite put my finger on it Mika, I don't know why I feel that way about it, I just do. That isn't what's important right now though, what's important is that you just tried to forcibly drink the blood of our teacher!" Mika's eye widened as he remembered the events of just a few moments ago, like he'd somehow forgotten in such a short space of time. "We both know you haven't been drinking any blood from the stores, don't try to deny it. I know you don't like it, I know it makes you feel like a monster, but you NEED it Mika." I almost shouted that last part, I couldn't help it, he's my best friend.

"Yuu, please don't make me do this. I hate it Yuu, I really really hate it!" He admitted, still crying uncontrollably. "You know I can't say no to you, so if you ask me again then I will do it, but please Yuu, please don't ask me to do that!" He begged.

"I'm really sorry Mika, but you know I'm doing this for you. This probably isn't the best time, but it'll have to do. I've never told you this before now, but do you remember when we first started at this school? You asked me why there were no other vampires and I said it must just be a coincidence?"

"Yeah I remember... where are you going with this Yuu" Mika asked.

"I lied. The reason that you're the only vampire who attends this school is because I begged and pleaded for a meeting with the school principal and the governors. In that meeting I begged and pleaded once more for you to be allowed to attend this school. I told them that I would take sole responsibility for you. They didn't want to allow it, but eventually when I told them our story, about how we'd been separated for so long and were finally reunited, they agreed to give you a chance. Now that you've attacked a teacher you're one giant leap closer to being kicked out. They were already considering it after all the lessons you've skipped. So you can believe what you want to believe about me liking it when you suck my blood, but I am doing this for you, for us..."

"For... us?" Mika suddenly looked shocked, what was it I said I wonder? Us? Why am I letting myself get distracted by this, I need to help him!

"Mika. Please. Drink my blood." I pleaded once more.

With that, he lunged at me, tears flying off of his face, sparkling in the wind as he grabbed me and pinned me back against the wall behind me, he's never been this aggressive before, I kind of liked it. I noticed he was shaking, so I put my arms around him, hoping that would calm him down a little. It seemed to work. I couldn't help but notice that his hair smelled like apples today, he must have changed his shampoo, it usually smells like strawberries. Oh well, it still had that hint of Mika's own trademark scent mixed in, which is what I really liked about it. He seemed to be hesitating, so I took my arms from behind his body and undid my shirt. I only needed to undo the top buttons really, but I couldn't stop once I started. I then pulled my shirt completely over my right shoulder exposing pretty much the entire right half of my body. Mika seemed to take a deep breath with his nose close to my skin, then he put his hand on my waist, it was warm against my skin and I couldn't help but squirm slightly.

I put my own arms back around him and gently reached up to his head. I gently pulled him in a little closer to my neck and he opened his mouth, causing his warm breath to flow over me, making me quiver with anticipation. Then, slowly, he pierced my skin with his fangs, causing my blood to flow into his mouth. We were so close I could feel every gulp, every breath he took in through his nose, every heart beat as it grew faster and faster with each passing second. I reveled in this moment, wishing it could last forever, then without any warning his fangs retreated from their holds in my skin and Mika pulled away from me, crying.

"See!" He shouted at me disgustedly. "Look at you, you can hardly contain yourself, while I'm over here feeling guilty for taking the very thing keeping you alive, you're stood there in sheer bliss. What the hell is wrong with you? I could have killed you just now! You do know that right? It's recommended that we vampires drink at least once a week, I left it for two full weeks making the urge to drain you dry more tempting than ever! Don't you get that?"

I could only look at the floor, unable to find the words that might have any chance at comforting him. Before now it was him who couldn't look me in the eye; it was now the other way around. I could feel his crimson irises burning through me like an inferno. He's never spoken to me like this before, never had so much pain in his voice. Now it was my turn to cry, I may have understood what he was, I may even have understood what he was doing to me by drinking my blood... but I wasn't even close to understanding him! Mika. My best friend, or so I thought. How can I call him that when I can't even tell when I'm hurting him? I'm a terrible best friend; I don't even deserve to call a guy like him an acquaintance, let alone anything else.

"I can't believe that I was going to..." He started.

"Going to what?" I asked.
