You Can't Catch Me (Diabolik Lovers)

Chapter 11

Pixis thanked the limo driver before walking towards another large mansion. It wasn't as big as the Sakamaki's but it was still huge compared to the buildings Pixis used to live in.
The neko hummed, going to the door and just walking in. "Hello, your lord and savior has arrived." Pixis beamed when he saw the four brothers.
Azusa smiled, but kept quiet as he looked at the boy. Kou smirked, already thinking of things he could do to the neko. Yuma didn't even look at him; remembering the events from the pool. Ruki smirked as well, recalling the taste of Pixis' blood.
"No hello?" Pixis raised an eyebrow, looking at all their expressions.
Ruki clapped his hands together. "Well, welcome to the Mukami Manor. I'll lead you to the guest room you'll be staying in, then you can do what you please."
Pixis nodded then followed the vampire upstairs to a guest room. The neko covered his mouth, coughing for a bit, before looking back at the vampire.
"I see your condition is worse than I thought." Ruki stated, looking at the worn out face of the neko. "I'll get right to work on what I can, since Reiji couldn't— I'll get to work." Ruki cut himself off before leaving the room.
Pixis sighed before laying down. He decided a nap would be okay. Maybe?
     After 15 minutes of laying there, he groaned and pushed the covers off himself. He was beyond bored. He thought this process might be faster and he could hang out with the brothers. Where were they all anyway?
     The boy grabbed a small blanket to keep around his shoulders, starting to walk around the mansion. He found an open door, weird smells flowing from the room.
     Peering in the room, he saw Ruki sitting at a desk, staring at papers across the wood. He noticed bottles of liquids and what not at another table.
     "Ruki...what are you doing?" Pixis asked, walking into the room. He stood behind the vampire, looking over his shoulder.
     "Hm..trying to figure out how to make this work. Why?" He said, looking over his shoulder at the neko, before quickly looking back at the papers.
     "Mm. Can I watch?" Pixis piped up, smiling slightly. Ruki put his pencil down, sighing quietly.
     "I don't think I'd be able to focus, honestly. Besides, you should be resting." He said, raising his hand to slightly shoo the other away.
     Pixis pouted slightly before pulling his blanket along and leaving the room. He frowned and started off towards other rooms. After walking past a room and hearing music, he peered inside another door. There he saw Kou with mics surrounding him.
     "Hm? Kou, what's happening?" He asked. Pixis looked at him, before turning his head to some other man sitting at a seat.
     Kou looked at the neko, before pressing a button on some board near him. "What is it Kitten? I'm recording." He said, the slightest smirk on his face.
     "Oh." Pixis said, looking wide-eyed at all the equipment around the room. "You do that here?" The neko asked, curious as to how he just had a studio in the mansion. ((Let's pretend))
     "Yes, he does. He is a very popular idol after all, and he must get to work. Kou could you please?" The man, holding a clipboard, said sternly. Kou whined a bit before looking at Pixis.
     "You'll have to go but I'll come play with you later, I promise." He said with a wink. Pixis blushed and quickly closed the door.
     "Why is everyone busy?" Pixis asked himself, whining a bit as he walked aimlessly. As he went on he caught the smell of Azusa. His face lit up as he followed his already familiar scent to a room.
     Pixis smiled and turned the knob to open the door, but it was locked. "I guess I should have knocked anyway." Pixis mumbled sheepishly. He knocked and waited for a response, but didn't get one.
     A frustrated groan came from his lips as he heard nothing from the room. The boy pulled his blanket tighter around his shoulders as he huffed, marching towards downstairs.
     On his lonely journey, he considered taking things but only found one small and almost unnoticeable item worthy of taking. He stuffed it in a small pocket and continued on towards wherever.
     Eventually, he reached a door leading outside to a garden. He smiled slightly to himself, rushing out towards it and awing at everything that grew, no matter what it was. "This is amazing.." He said to himself, bending down to look at some vegetables that were growing, but weren't quite ready.
     "Well thank you." Pixis jumped slightly at the words, spinning around to see Yuma. The taller boy stood next to him, scratching at the back of his head.
     Pixis instinctively backed up, thinking the other would try to get revenge for being attacked with a wet blanket. Yuma only sighed, turning to look at the garden.
     "I'm not going to hurt you or anything." He said, almost seeming annoyed that the other would think that.
     "Sorry, you're just kind of big and scary. Not that that's bad." Pixis mumbled unintentionally. "I mean..."
     "It's fine. What are you doing out here anyway?" Yuma asked, seeming more quiet than Pixis had ever seen him.
     "Um..just walking around." Pixis replied, turning to smile at the garden again.
     "Well I need to work on my garden, so if you could leave—"
     "Wait...can I help..? Or just, sit here? I won't bother you, it's just your brothers are all doing something." Pixis mumbled, looking at his feet.
     "What, you just really have to be the center of attention?" Yuma snorted rudely, walking over to pick up a watering can.
     "No...I just don't like being alone..truthfully." Pixis mumbled to himself. He wasn't lying this time. He didn't like being alone. Even if he got excited about finding a new secluded place for him to stay for however long, he always wished he had someone with him. Though even then, he wasn't sure he wanted someone else living the way he was.
     Yuma looked at the smaller boy, watching as he turned away to leave. Maybe he wasn't meant to hear the neko? But he sure did.
     The vampire dropped the watering can before speeding up to Pixis and grabbing his arm, his eyes wide. Yuma then realized he hadn't actually planned what he would say, so he stood with a tight grip on the others wrist.
     "I, uh, didn't mean to say it like that. You can stay, I guess." He finally said, letting go of the other.
     Pixis blinked before smiling slightly, "thank you, Yuma."
     The vampire realized how he was acting and turned around with a 'tch', grabbing the can again.
     "Don't get in the way, Alright?" Yuma said, a blush on his face as he faced away from Pixis. The neko nodded in response, following the taller male to certain sections of the garden. Eventually, Yuma kneeled down to bare soil at a corner of the garden.
     "I'm still working on this part." He said, pulling out some seeds to plant. Pixis dropped next to him, staring at Yuma's hands and waiting for him to do something.
     Yuma looked down at the other, a blush spreading across his face when he realized his body was practically pressed against his side. Yuma grumbled words to himself before pushing on the side of Pixis.
     "Tch. D-Don't get so close." He muttered, looking back at the soil and picking up a tool to dig a small area for the seeds. After patting down soil back over the area he just finished, he caught the small frown on Pixis' face.
     He sighed, mumbling a 'so annoying', before turning to the neko and dropping a couple seeds into his hand. "Here, help me." Yuma said, starting to dig another small hole.
     Pixis smiled wide, waiting to throw the small seeds in the hole. Before he could, he sneezed harshly, dropping some of the seeds. He sweat-dropped as he looked at the slowly getting angrier face that was Yuma's.
      "I'm sorry..Yuma." Pixis mumbled, almost getting up to run. As he saw the face only got more threatening, he panicked.
     "I'll pick 'em up! I swear! Watch!" He said, quickly leaning forward to find any seed he dropped. "See look, only one more!" He panicked, showing Yuma, who now stood over him, the hand of seeds.
     Yuma then watched as the boy frantically covered the planted seeds and even watered them. "You're doing the next three as well." Yuma said, glaring with his arms crossed.
     "Okay! I promise I won't mess them up!" Pixis declared, moving to the next spot and starting to dig.
     "That's too deep!" Yuma yelled, balling a fist as he pointed down at the hole.
     "Gah! I'm sorry, Yuma!" Pixis whined, trying to fix it and please the tall vampire.

     Yuma sat on the bench at the garden, covered in dirt and some water. Gardening with Pixis was definitely an adventure.
     The vampire stared forward, calmly looking at his garden, before he felt a small thud on the bench. He looked over and saw Pixis, still wrapped in his blanket, lying on his side on the bench.
     Yuma almost woke him up, to yell at him for just falling asleep. But they had done a lot, so the vampire only shook his head.
     Yuma stood up, before carrying the neko inside the mansion. He took him bridal style up the stairs and to the guest room, laying him down onto the bed.
     He stood, looking down at the other for just a bit, before turning away to leave.
     "Thank you..Yuma." The brunet turned around to see the neko, eyes closed with a smile on his face.
     "You were awake?" Yuma asked, glaring. He only received a giggle, before a soft sigh. At that, the vampire turned and left, the same small smile on his face.    
     "How annoying, having to carry him again."
