Vampire Kisses

8: Shuichi

Kokichi passed the notebook back to me again. When his hand brushed against mine for a brief moment. I flushed seeing that he was trying to look me in the eyes from underneath my hat... I pulled my hat down out of habit as he turned back around in his seat

Thanks for writing me back! I didn't expect you to write me back. I don't know if you'll believe me or not, but I used to not talk as much as I do now. Shocker huh? Anyway, I used to be homeschooled as well. I actually came into public school last year. And I would never be bored of you Shuichi. You interest me more than anyone else in school! I hope we can become good friends!!
-K

He didn't expect me to write back? What did he expect? I blushed more and put my hand to my cheek. He was in the same situation as me. That is just so cute! I want to hold his hand. My hand moved from my face and went towards him before I clenched my fist. I can't do that... he would probably think I was such a creep. I grabbed my pen and sighed. I quickly wrote my note.\

I didn't know that. That actually doesn't surprise me. I used to talk a lot when I was a kid... and now I don't talk as much. So I understand. And I interest you? No one ever has before... Thank you. You are definitely something else.
-S

I tapped him on the shoulder again making him turn around. He grabbed the notebook and took his hand in mine. I felt my heart stop. His hand felt so small in mine. It was so warm and so calming, having his hand in mine. The room went silent all I could hear was Kokichi's breathing. All I could see was his smile, his eyes, his cheeks, and his hand in mine. I think he might feel the same right now, in this moment.

A small blush came to his cheeks and he slowly took his hand back with the notebook. The feeling of loneliness came over me again. I want him to be near me all the time. I want to be able to just see him smile, hold his hand, kiss his lips... I blushed. My fingers traced my lips wishing that it was him holding me.

I know that this would be weird to him. Even if we did date... he would find me creepy. The blood, the cravings, the bond. I don't know how I should tell him. Would it be too early for me to tell him today? I looked down at my hands, slowly intertwining my fingers together. I closed my eyes and imagined Kokichi smiling as he held my hand.

I'm bonded to Kokichi. I am going to feel like this every time I am around him. I looked at the back of his head. His purple hair was mesmerizing. I felt my hand move before I could process it. Taking some of his soft hair in my hand, caressing it between my fingers. He didn't seem to notice, maybe it was better that way. I sighed letting myself just take in all the beauty of Kokichi. He was beautiful. Porcelain skin and soft purple eyes. He is short and this makes him super cute. My face became redder the longer I thought about him. If this is what a bond is maybe it won't be that bad.

"S-shuichi..." I heard Kokichi shudder under my touch. I blushed and pulled my hand away, immediately becoming embarrassed. I heard a small groan when my hand left his hair. I was confused. Did he want me to touch his hair? Or was that just a sign that he didn't want me to touch him?

I pushed those thoughts aside and focused back on the lesson. "One of the more rare types of Pica is the one for blood." My breath hitched in my throat. "Blood..." I chocked out. "This can be caused by iron deficiency, but there are myths of vampires living around the world. These are just myths, but if they are real and the people with this disorder tend to eat more raw meat. They have also been found to be more drawn to blood, including, bloody noses, cuts, scrapes, scratches, and others." I felt my heart stop the room went silent.

What if they all know? What if they find out? My heartbeat filled my ears and the room went quiet. This is not good! They will all know! Then Kokichi will hate me! These feelings I have for him will ruin me.

A tear fell onto my hand. I can't take this. "That's all for the lesson today. Have a great day!" She announced to the class right before the bell rang. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. My thoughts were filling my head making it hard for me to breathe for me to see. My lungs were screaming for air. My mind screaming for some quiet, some relief. Please someone save me!

"Shuichi! Shuichi, do you need to go to the infirmary?!" I heard someone yell. I couldn't tell who it was as my eyes slid closed. Maybe this is where it ends. I can finally die.

.  .  .

"Shuichi!"

"SHUICHI!!"

My eyes shot open and I groaned. My whole body hurt, ears pounding, lungs burning. "Shuichi, are you ok?" I heard the person asked me. I let my eyes focus on their blurry figure for a moment.

When my eyes focused I saw the beautiful purple eyes I loved so much. "K-Kokichi..." I muttered. My voice still sounded hoarse and ragged. "Shuichi!" He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I could hear his heartbeat close to my ears. It was so calming, I let my eyes slide closed. I moved my arms around his back sighing contently.

"I'm so glad you're ok..." He said crying onto my shoulder. Was he that worried? "I'm sorry for making you worry..." I whispered placing a kiss on his forehead making his face turn red. "Just don't do that again! Because I care a lot about you Shuichi!" He yelled putting his hands on my shoulders. I tried to pull my hat down to cover my face, but it wasn't on my head. His eyes were all red and puffy from crying. I felt bad for making him worry about me.

"You don't have to worry about me..." I started only to be cut off. "THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG!!" He yelled more tears pouring out of his eyes. "But Kokichi?" I asked wondering why he got so worked up about this. "I just!" He cut himself off with a blush putting his head down. "Kokichi?" I asked putting my hand on his cheek.

"I know this may sound weird, seeing as how we met each other earlier today... but I don't know what it is about you, but I feel so drawn to you... I felt these feelings for you, not wanting you to leave my side... I think I love you Shuichi..." He turned his head to the side. My face went red. I couldn't process what he just said... He feels the same way about me?

"I feel the same... I need to tell you something... I have a bond with you and it is the reason I have felt these feelings towards you... wanting to always be by your side... wanting to hold you and give you affection... This may sound weird and creepy... but... I'm a vampire and you are the one I am bonded too Kokichi." I looked down already feeling fresh tears falling out of my eyes. I can't believe I just said that... He will hate me now. If he didn't already...

His hands moved to my cheeks and wiped away my tears. I looked up at him feeling embarrassed about what I said before. "I knew you were different and now I know why. Thanks for telling me this. I know that it is not easy for you to talk to anyone... so thank you for telling me. I love you Shuichi." He slowly moved closer to me until our faces were inches apart. I could feel his breath hitting my lips wanting only to close the space in between us. "I love you too Kokichi..." I whispered moving my lips to his closing my eyes.

I felt a shiver go down my spine when our lips collided. My thoughts only focused on how I felt about Kokichi and how his lips felt on mine. Every moment that passed when he was this close to me made me breathless. We pulled away to catch our breath, both looking flustered and breathless. I smiled and buried my face into the crook of his neck. "Thank you Kokichi." I let the words fall out of my mouth. I could barely hear them, I could only hear the thudding of his heart in his neck, calming my senses down. I felt the impulse to just drink, just a bit... but I just wanted to stay in this moment as long as it lasted.
