Vampire Kisses

20: Shuichi

"It wasn't your fault love," Kokichi whispered in my ear. I don't know how I feel about this...he got hurt because of me...I nervously let Kokichi guide my hand to the bandage on his neck.

I felt tears prick in my eyes. What if I hurt him again? What if this isn't going to be the first time I can't control my urges? God, I'm such a monster...Kokichi looked up at me with a small smile on his face.

"It's ok," He said reassuring me again in a hushed voice. He let his hands go to the base of my neck as he slowly pulled me closer to the wound. I was already blushing knowing what I would have to do...I just don't want to make him uncomfortable...I know this can be weird...it was the first time I had to heal myself...

I hesitantly removed the bandages and felt him shudder under my touch. I tried to move away but he held me in place. I sighed knowing I had to do this before he would let me pull away...I kissed the mark to warn him in a way that I was going to lick the wound.

I took in a shaky breath before gently licking the mark. His skin was warm and he smelled amazing...but I didn't want to hurt him again...Kokichi sighed before I pulled away from him.

I almost laughed when he jumped at the feeling of his smooth skin. "How-" He started but I quickly cut him off. I was blushing and holding my arm because I felt a little nervous to tell him...

"I had to heal myself when Cathy was teaching me how to live like this..." My voice was quiet when I spoke. I didn't like how quiet it was...because it made me feel vulnerable...

"I love you," He said taking my hands and guiding them to his cheeks. I felt a little hesitant...but the look he was giving me told me what I needed to know. I pulled him closer to me and kissed him.

I took in the feeling of his lips against mine. Like they were meant to be together...they were meant to be together. I smiled at the thought and felt Kokichi smile against my lips soon after.

After a few moments of silence, I spoke. "I'm sorry about the bite..." The look on his face was a look of adoration. It made me feel comfortable when he was looking at me with that look...the same look he gave me when we confessed...

"You don't have to feel bad anymore Shumai~," He teased poking my cheek before taking my hand again.

"Ok," I tried to look him in the eyes but I couldn't bring myself to...I still felt super guilty that I could have controlled my urges or told someone about it so he didn't get hurt...

"I still love you~ no matter what~" He pulled me closer to him so I could rest my head on his shoulder. I sighed and slumped against him resting my head on his shoulder. Moving to take in his scent.

"But if you ever need more of my blood I don't mind. I mean is was startling because of how sudden it was but I didn't mind..." He whispered into my ear making my face immediately go red.

"B-but Kokichi I-I-" I stuttered out before he moved to kiss me again. He kissed my lips and moved down my face to my neck. I blushed at the action but it made me unable to speak. He looked up at me with a smile before placing one last kiss on my shoulder.

"I told you, I don't mind. So don't feel all selfish about it because I offered." Kokichi said in a serious tone. It made me flinch at the tone change but I relaxed when he started to rub my shoulders.

"You really don't have to-" I tried to turn his offer down again but this time he put his hand over my mouth.

"Shuichi listen to me. I don't mind~ I mean it~" He paused for a moment before nuzzling into my neck.

"If I was bothered by a little blood drinking why would I be dating a vampire~?" He said in a teasing voice while he kissed my neck again. I blushed and let my hands go to his sides.

"I guess your right," I whispered before burying my face into his hair making him laugh.

"We should get to our homework before we go to bed~," He paused for a moment after getting off me and walking over to his bag. I groaned from the loss of contact. He started talking again when he unzipped his bag.

"Unless you are already exhausted from today," I felt myself smile at him. He is so sweet to me...sometimes I don't understand why...I mean he did say he didn't mind if I- No I shouldn't think like that.

"Alright," I blushed from the thought and covered my mouth, slowly sitting up on the bed. Kokichi gave me a nod before we got started on our homework.

"We have some reading~, but that should be all before we can cuddle~!" Kokichi laughed bringing the book over to the bed. I smiled as he climbed into my lap and opened the book to where we had to read.

"Darkness consumes his thoughts. It's all he could ever think about...ever since his mother, sister, and his past lover all left him. What did he have left? All alone with no one to talk to...no one to be there when he cried from the cruelness of the world." I read over Kokichi's shoulder knowing he liked it better than when he had to read.

The book she assigned us was about a man battling everything life could possibly throw at him...and I can't say I didn't relate to him...I feel like this would have been different if I never got bit...but then I would have never met Kokichi...I would have never found out I was bonded to him...

Maybe some bad things have to happen so good things can come later in your path?

"Shuichi, you ready to go to sleep? Because I'm tired~," He said playfully falling into my chest. I groaned at the sudden weight on my chest.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted..." I admitted rubbing the small of his back. He moved closer to me with his soft pajamas over his small frame.

"Mph," Kokichi mumbled into my chest before he went limp in my arms. He was really that tired? I smiled to myself before pulling him closer to me.

"Hmm, Goodnight my love," I cooed into his ear before placing a kiss on his cheek.
