Oikawa Tooru was born a vampire and Iwazumi Hajime a werewolf, yet a fierce and steadfast bond has been formed between these two who couldn't be more different. Growing up together throughout the years it has grown into something far stronger and mo...

~OIKAWA POV~
"I'm home" I heard the sweet and sing-song voice of my older sister.
"Aiko!" I shouted excitedly running downstairs. She smiled holding her arms out as we embraced, I hadn't seen her since Takeru's birthday party. I was excited to have her home, I wanted to talk to her about everything, she was my only other confident outside of Iwazumi after all and obviously, I hadn't been confiding much in him the last couple of days, I'd actually been avoiding him outside of school. Which proved to be a challenge when you live next door to each other.
"Tooru how are you?" She held me by the shoulders, giving me the signature Oikawa family smile. She looked a lot like me, basically just a female version except she had mom's dazzling green eyes. I wished sometimes I had green eyes but the less confident I was in myself the less I could make everyone think I was flawless so I brushed it off.
"I'm not gonna lie, I've been better" I sighed over exaggerating my pout.
"Don't worry, big sis will fix you up" She ruffled my hair and laughed coming further into the house. She was staying the weekend since her husband and Takeru were doing a weekend of bonding, I knew Aiko secretly liked the male bonding weekends so she could come back home and relax.
We made plans for what we were going to do after she unpacked and then ended up watching a rom-com together before mom and dad got home. They were almost always gone, I guess I was so close to her because our parents were always traveling and it was usually just us. I didn't blame them though, their work was important, they organized the legal transport of blood donations to vampires which essentially kept the vampire community from falling to tatters. There was no order if there was no blood to keep the vampires complacent.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" She turned the volume down on the tv.
"We have all weekend it can wait" I offered a smile, she saw right through it. After all, I had learned the fake smile from her, except she had used it when she was telling mom and dad it was okay they were never around. I knew she pitied me for being home without neither her nor our parents now.
"It could wait, but I can tell your itching to talk so spill Tooru" Aiko turned to face me on the couch so she wasn't even watching the screen anymore.
"Please don't take this the wrong way..." I started.
"I would never," She said in a mockingly appalled tone.
"Aiko please" I didn't want to seem so vulnerable but around my sister, I let my guard down, especially since I didn't get to see her as much as I used to.
"Okay, I'll be serious" She settled in getting ready to listen, I loved that she was such a good listener.
"Do you think I'm gay?" I could hear my own voice shake. I couldn't quite read her expression but it was clear she was keeping it guarded. I thought maybe I saw some anger in her eyes and I suddenly regretted this, I didn't want her to think poorly of me.
"Why would you ask that? Is someone bullying you?" Aiko's voice was similarly guarded, she was clearly trying to hide whatever she was thinking.
"No, it's not that... Can you just tell me honestly" I wanted to backtrack, I hated the way she was looking at me right now.
"I can say that I think you're you and you've always been true to yourself", there was a glimmer of something else in her eyes, "even if you're not necessarily true to others".
I was afraid to speak first, I wasn't about to confess to something I wasn't entirely sure of myself. But her words provided me some clarity. I don't really know what I am but I know that I love who I love, and I knew that I definitely loved Hajime.
"Thank you," I said quietly casting my eyes down.
"What's really wrong Tooru?" She lifted my head up by my chin, "I thought maybe some kids were bullying you again so I was upset, it's hard to think about the fact you're here all by yourself all the time, that's why I'm so glad you've got that Iwazumi boy next door."
"Right" I cast my eyes down.
"Trust me Tooru, you're lucky to have someone like him" Aiko laid a hand on my shoulder, "I remember how he's been obsessed with you practically since birth." She laughed lightly a knowing look in her eyes.
I didn't know if she knew, she couldn't have. After all most of it had occurred quite recently unless she just always had known. The thought that others saw the truth of our relationship and meanwhile I hadn't unnerved me. I didn't like the idea that other people knew things about me that I didn't.
I had to talk to him sooner or later neither did I want to avoid him forever. I felt more clarity than I at least did previously and I was starting to think I was looking at it the wrong way. Hajime was my clarity, at least without him I can't find it. I resolved myself to go see him in the morning before the school week.
~IWAZUMI POV~
I sat criss-cross in my bed staring at my phone. I had it open to Oikawa's messages, I don't know what I was waiting for it was unlikely he'd text me but I still craved it. I craved the comfort his presence and the familiarity of him.
I was mentally kicking myself for what I'd done. I pushed him away for god knows how long and even if he finally let it go our friendship would never be the same. I'd ruined everything, I'd done the one thing I was most afraid of.
A tear fell onto my phone screen as I realized I was crying. I hadn't even noticed. There was a moment where I could feel the urge to cry welling up in my chest, the sadness physically hurting my heart. I wiped my tears feeling overcome with just a numbness like I wasn't really present.
It only lasted moments as a blinding rage pulled me back, gave me feeling again. It was like a fire burning through me, a rage directed inward. I hated it, I hated myself, I hated what I'd done. My grip on my phone tightened and I threw it against the wall. I was only vaguely aware of it shattering as I only focused on this horrible, burning anger eating away at me.
I needed him to forgive me.
