A Clutch And a Half

Chp 3- Avoiding Life's Problems

"Oh come on, we both know you liked it~" Laito chimed in, now realising that Elliot had said something. Elliot forced another faint blush to drift across his pale cheeks, which drove the crowds watching the scene wilder than they were before.

"I did not" Elliot whined, his face grew pinker.

"Yui is in the same class as Ayato and Kanato, Elliot is with Laito. Please go with them. Also, unless you want a whipping, don't try anything reckless. Understood?" Reiji looked down at the two siblings in front of him, they both nodded before following the brothers to their classes. Yui walked into her class, Ayato and Kanato both sat in the back on opposite sides of the class.

"Ah, it's food prep!" She had muttered to herself but it seemed to have caught the redhead's attention.

"Food prep?"

Elliot entered his class, Laito sat in the middle 'the middle? really Laito?' Elliot sighed with his thoughts and hung his bag on the side of the desk behind Laito. He was about to sit down when he noticed Ayato striding past the classroom, Yui stumbling behind him with her wrist caught in Ayato's hand. Elliot turned on his heel, his shoes squeaking on the floor as he did. He began walking towards the doors planning to follow them.

"And where are you going?" a voice startled Elliot.

"To get Yui from your freak brother" Elliot turned around facing Laito with a bored expression.

"What happened to the fun Elliot from outside?" Laito let a playful smirk come across his face.

"That's none of your business" Elliot answered, slightly glaring at the vampire in front of him.

"Oh.. that's no fun... but then again... I don't need fun to feed off you" Laito grabbed Elliot's shoulder and pushed him onto the floor with a loud thud. Elliot let out a soft grunt as he hit the ground, dull pain sweeping over his back.

"Jerk" Elliot kicked out Laito's legs from beneath him, causing the once standing vampire to topple down to the floor. Laito lay in shock on the floor, he was just standing was he not? Did that human really just knock him off his feet? how?! how could a human have the strength and speed to do that without Laito having time to react?

Elliot sat up, wincing as he moved. He looked at the vampire on the ground in front of him.

'Fuck' Elliot began to panic. He may have been able to knock Laito over but that didn't mean he would be able to defend himself if Laito decided to attack him, and he can't imagine Laito would be too happy having been knocked over. Elliot stumbled to his feet, watching Laito as he debated whether or not he would need to run. Laito's eyes snapped to Elliot, finally snapping out his shocked state.

'Crap...', Elliot froze to the spot, his face dropping as he realised he may have missed his chance to escape. Surprise flashed through Laito's eyes as when his gaze landed on Elliot. He looked a bit too scared for someone who could at least somewhat defend themselves, but as quickly as surprise came it was replaced with an angry and slightly perverted look.

Elliot swallowed, trying to compose himself and fight the fear that built as he watched Laito pick himself up from the floor.

"Not going to run?" Laito jeered as he took a step closer to Elliot.

"Why would I?" Elliot jeered back, straightening himself out while taking a step back. Laito's face twisted to a wicked smile as he watched Elliot take a step back despite trying to not show fear.
