The Stars Above Us (Shu Sakamaki x OC)

13-Comfort

Hoshi's POV:

I opened my eyes to grey clouds covering the night sky outside the window, dampening my mood. My stomach growled and I moved to get up, only for the usual arm pulling me back down. He dug his nose into my neck, breathing deeply.

"Sloth, let me go."

"Hmph, back to that nickname. Should I remind you of what happened last night?"

His hand slipped up my thigh and under the sweater, touching my bare skin. I turned a bright red, grabbing his hand to stop him.

"Stop that!" I hissed.

"Not until you say my name."

"Fine! Shu!"

He removed his hand from under the sweater but his arm kept itself on my waist.

"Where were you going?"

"Well, if you must know, I was going to go make something since I was hungry."

"When's the last time you had blood?"

"H-huh?"

"I asked you when the last time you had blood was."

"Almost a week ago, why?"

He pulled my head towards his neck.

"Drink."

"Haah, don't be crazy Shu!"

"You're gonna die if you don't drink blood."

"I'll be fine."

He growled, pulling away. Something was going on in his mouth, his fang swiping across his tongue. He grabbed the back of my head, smashing our lips together, his blue orbs staring into my green ones. He forced my mouth open with his muscle, his red liquid being forced into my mouth. I tried to deny him but as soon as the cold liquid touched my tongue, I became desperate for more. I climbed on top of him, my hunger taking over me. He just looked at me, amused at my reaction. I sunk my fangs into his bottom lip, a groan coming from deep inside his throat. After I had my fill, I pulled back slowly, my cheeks a bright pink.

"I-I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize."

I nodded slowly, getting up.

"Well, I'm still craving real food so if you want, you can come."

He stood up, yawning and his eyes were closed yet again. He grabbed my hand and we walked out, heading towards the kitchen, him mostly leaning on my body. I sat him on one of the seats and poked his cheek.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Meat...." he muttered.

I scrunched my nose up, not really feeling in the mood for eating that. I still decided to make it, along with some chocolate chip cookies, my sweet tooth begging for it.

"How do you like your steak?"

"Rare..."

I finished the meat quickly, placing it in front of Shu before putting my cookies in the oven, setting the timer. Turning around, I noticed that he hasn't touched his food.

"Shu? Are you gonna fucking eat?"

"Feed me."

"No, you have two hands. Do it yourself."

"Fine. I just won't eat it."

I glanced at the clock, noticing it was 8:47 PM. If we had school today, we would have been late. Luckily, it was the weekend but that just meant more brain decay since I spent more time with the sloth in front of me.

"Sloth!"

His forehead wrinkled in annoyance at the nickname. I sighed, cutting up the pieces of meat and feeding it to him, already giving up. He opened his mouth, taking the meat and chewing it slowly, nodding as he swallowed.

"Heh, it seems like you're not as bad at cooking as I thought you were."

"You stupid sloth."

The ringer went off and I walked to the oven, taking the cookies out with a mitt and setting them on the counter. I let them cool for a few minutes before placing one in my mouth, making a 'hmm' sound as sweetness hit my tongue. Suddenly, I saw a pale hand try to reach for one but I slapped it away, glaring at the male behind me.

"Don't you fucking dare, brat."

"BUT I WANT ONE!"

I grabbed one, placing it in my mouth cockily, moaning at the taste just to get on his nerves. He let out a girly scream, his fist aiming for my face but I moved to the side, dodging it easily. This cycled for about three minutes before he abruptly stopped, his face covered by his purple bangs.

"What? Give up already, kid?"

I heard soft sniffling and he looked up, tears falling freely from his eyes. I froze, not sure what to do. All I've ever seen was him mad but this was a totally different emotion.

"I just wanted a cookie." he cried.

I felt my face soften as I sighed, grabbing five of the treats from the pan and placing them in a bag. I gave it to him, patting his head softly.

"Take it."

He looked up at me with teary eyes before looking down at the bag. He took it from me, about to walk away but I grabbed the back of his collar.

"Wheres my thank you?"

"Why should I say that to you?!"

"I can always take those cookies back."

"Fine....thank you," he whispered but my ears caught it.

I smiled, letting go.

"You're welcome, Kanato."

He looked a bit shocked that I used his real name and gave me a creepy smile before disappearing, probably to eat the cookies. I felt someone's chin settle on my shoulder, arms wrapping lazily around my waist.

"Who knew you had a nice side to you?" he asked teasingly.

"I've always been nice, you guys just make the asshole in me come out."

"You haven't finished feeding me."

I sighed, grabbing the plate and feeding him, his chewing sending weird, jerky motions through my shoulder. He finally finished and I used my hand to push his face away, washing the plate and putting it back where it belonged. I teleported back to his room, sitting on the ledge as I looked out at the night sky, the grey clouds now completely gone. He sat across of me, his head down.

"What are you even looking at?"

"The stars."

"Why?"

"I just think that stars are equally as bright as the moon, able to stand their own. Too bad they're just balls of plasma in space that don't really shine."

"Hmph."

He dragged me towards him, settling me in between his legs with his hands under my sweater, fingers drawing small circles. I leaned into his touch and he put his face in my hair.

"You seem to like this position a lot."

"I can show you what other positions I like." he said.

"Uh, no. Go back to sleep, Shu."

He chuckled but took my advice, soft breaths on my neck as he fell into another deep sleep, his usual classical music playing through his earbuds. I looked out at the sky once more and that's how we spent the night, me in his arms.
