Boy or Girl? (ᎠᎥᎪbᎾᏞᎥᏦ ᏞᎾᏉᎬᏒs)

Special: Ayato's Pov

A glimpse through Ayato's eyes
_________________________________

When the two siblings first came, the first thing that caught the red head vampire's interest was the hypnotising aroma that wafted through the mansion as soon as the door open. It was hilarious to hear the girl's panicked and nervous voice, announcing her presence carelessly and crying out when she found out he was 'dead'. The sound of her blood rushing through her veins when her heart sped up was like music to his ears. He couldn't help but feel the rush of excitement through his veins.

It's been a long time since he's felt this way ever since the previous bride died. Now, there's new blood, new fun, new possession.

The blood under the girl's skin was undoubtedly one of the best he had ever came across. Premium quality. But there was a nagging feeling at the back of the vampire's mind. It's a familiar scent. Nonetheless, he shrugged it off.

Now, all of the humans that ever entered this mansion were either stupid or sent by him. And Ayato had a great time toying with every one of them. Moreover, with his devilish good looks, the brides fell for him faster than for the others, he mused pridefully. And for the others, males included, they had hidden their fears under the same tough facade, yet it could never escape his vampire senses. Such fear, such terror! It always made him laugh at their suffering.

Now this newcomer that had snuggled up to him out of the blue, was weird. Wayyy weird. He didn't smell like anything, but sometimes he could catch a whiff of a strong and seductive smell, which fades off as quickly as it appeared. He wasn't terrified of him, or questioned about his vampire characteristics. Even when the four-eye caught them, the male didn't even flinch.

Ayato was extremely livid. This was the first time he couldn't taste an ounce of fear from a human. The first time. And it shouldn't be the case.

But his remarks, his retorts, were absolutely amazing! The first time he shot back against Reiji, Ayato couldn't help but let out his laughter as he watched the four-eye's usual calm facade contort into a weird and irritated expression. Oh, the satisfaction of getting such a face from such a person.

Though, his annoyance with the strange boy persisted as he interrupted Yours Truly in his statement. No one does that. They should let the more powerful finish their sentences before speaking up. Such disrespect! And that calm facade he carried really pissed Ayato off. Millions of ideas were flashing past Ayato's eyes as he grinned at the torture scenes. How great it would be when he made that human boy tremble under him, begging him for forgiveness and having his strong facade crushed like glass. He really did try to suppress the growing urge to smile.

After Shu confirmed the purpose of the human siblings' presence in the their mansion, Ayato was beyond thrilled, his fangs were unfurling behind his lips from how wide he was grinning. There was going to be great entertainment for a long while.

Slowly, he could feel the boy's facade slipping and the girl's fear growing. What a sight to see. How brave of him, to stand up and protect the girl, even if it was utterly futile. Ayato couldn't help but scoff at such 'heroism'.

Surprisingly, the lazy brother of his got up to corner the two humans to the door. It confused Ayato, and he didn't like this emotion. Narrowing his eyes, he glared at the trio, the nagging feeling of possessiveness nicking at the back of his mind. They're mine, mine to toy and mine to keep! However, Ayato suddenly caught the rushing of blood from the boy, giving him the same feeling he had felt from the human girls who would stick to his side with blushing faces and expectant eyes. The boy was blushing from being in close proximity with his brother. Was he gay? How disgusting.

The redhead vampire eyed the human girl instead, who was exuding the familiar sweet and alluring smell. Why was he paying so much attention to an insignificant human instead of his prey. Now, that sweet blood is what he was going to have the honour of tasting first.

After returning from his thought, Ayato caught a few words such as 'phone' and 'Oyaji' from the human's mouth. The corner of his lips widened.

"Now... where's your phone?..." What a cue.

Sliding out the mentioned phone from his pocket, Ayato could feel a sense of dominance swell in his chest as he watch the scrunched up face of the boy start approaching him, agitated at Yours Truly. Yes, that's how you are suppose to be. Get more angry, more frustrated, so I can break you down all the way until you hit hell. What Ayato didn't expect was for the phone to be crushed by Subaru, who had teleported without him knowing. Ugh, why was he trying to steal his thunder. Taking away his attention and showing who's in power, what a bastard he was.

Thump. Suddenly, Ayato's reptile green orbs shot wide. His saliva was caught in his throat and his chest tightened in alarm. His fingers started trembling upon feeling the ominous and authoritative aura swelling up right beside him. The vampire gritted his teeth, glaring at his fingers and trying to will them to stop shaking, to stop showing such vulnerability.

Keeping his tough expression, Ayato wanted to show his dominance to the one causing such devastation, such aura. However, his facade shattered as soon as his green orbs met glowing red ones under the shadow of ebony hair. Ones which looked down upon him. The chills he felt running down his spine after taking a glimpse at such a twisted, dangerous and sadistic grin. ...Who is this. He is not simply just a human. Ayato concluded with a snarl.

The air was suffocating. It was silent.

"You'll pay for that!"
