Delicious [FighterTutor - ENG]

VI

Tutor waits for Fighter to sleep peacefully before leaving his apartment.  He moves in absolute silence, as he usually does, and within a few seconds, he has already left the building behind.  He feels alive like never before and the reason is not simply the delicious blood he drank.
He can no longer recognize himself, he knows that it's not typical of him to get involved so quickly and easily, but he also knows that he reached a point of no return, he cannot let him go now.

Fighter, in his room, seems to perceive his absence shortly after he's gone and shifts in his bed looking for him. He can no longer sleep after finding just an empty space next to him.  It is not the sense of guilt that keeps him awake nor the corrosive uncertainty of the first time, but the awareness of the important step they took. They probably need to discuss their relationship.  What are they? Is this just a consequence of giving him his blood? Was Tutor the same with everyone else before him?

"Good morning P'Fight"
"Tutor?"  he turns incredulously, recognizing the voice immediately. He hadn't seen him for a couple of days, they only talked on the phone and he certainly did not expect to find him in the canteen of his university.

Saifah and Zon stare at the stranger for a few seconds, before exchanging a glance and a mischievous smile. It's him. Fighter blushed immediately.

"What are you doing here?" Fighter asks, and he doesn't want to sound rude, but he can't understand why Tutor is wearing the uniform of the engineering faculty. The blue jacket suits him well, he notes immediately.
"I study here," the other answers and takes a seat at the table next to him, before introducing himself to the other two boys. They were still trying to follow the conversation, hoping to understand what's going on between the two.

Fighter is a little dazed, he did not imagine at all that the vampire could do such a thing. He knows Tutor has already an engineering degree, so he is very likely doing it just to spend more time with him.  He can't stop smiling at the thought. He watches him answer the questions of his two friends, that are asking since when he studies at their university, why and how they know each other.
Tutor explains that he met Fighter in a club and that he saw them too on that occasion, on the dance floor.

"You know, that evening he wanted us to go home earlier. He said he saw a vampire and was terrified" Saifah laughs, then turns to his friend "You should thank us for making you stay"
It's Tutor's turn to laugh; Fighter shakes his head amused by the situation. If he only knew.

"Are you two together?"  Saifah keeps asking and Zon hits him lightly on the arm, scolding him as always "It's not your business"
"Not yet," the vampire replies, winking, and Fighter blushes again.

While his friends are still teasing him, the boy gets up, gesturing for Tutor to follow him.
"See you later in class, you fools"

"I wanted to surprise you," says Tutor, breaking the silence when they take a seat on a bench nearby.  "But I hope you don't consider it too hasty or arrogant of me"

"Absolutely not, I am happy you're here. You know I like spending time with you" Fighter reassures him immediately with a smile. He had never seen him so uncertain after their second meeting.  "I ... I wanted to talk about what you said before. The not yet."

"I don't care about anyone but you, for any reason, " the vampire says confidently.
Fighter looks at the reflection in his eyes, bright and hypnotic as always in these moments.  "Are we exclusive then? No one else?" he asks eventually.
"If you want," Tutor replies, but the mere thought of someone approaching the boy or, even worse, another vampire willing to bite him makes him lose his mind. He would like to bite his neck at this exact moment and leave a clearly visible mark.

"So, are we a couple?"  Fighter asks incredulously, the word sounds completely foreign to him.  He had never reached this point with anyone and now he understands why: everything was always too mechanical, without dialogue, without trust.
"I'm waiting for your answer, Fight" Tutor gently remarks.
"I-yes. We are a couple," he smiles at the end.  The vampire does the same, then gently cups his face, stroking his cheek, looking him in the eyes.

Fighter thinks he is about to kiss him, but after a moment, the other abruptly stands up.  "Let's go"
"Where?"  but he's already dragging him away from the building.  "We're going the wrong way"
"Exactly"

As soon as he gets far enough from the other students, he lifts the boy effortlessly and puts him down only when they are hidden, away from prying eyes.

"You want to kill me now?"  the human laughs, leaning against the wall behind him. Tutor rolls his eyes, approaching him.  Like the worst of clichés, he blocks him against the wall by pointing an arm close to his head. Fighter swallows. "I want to kiss you now"

But it is Fighter who does not wait any longer and cuts the few centimetres left between their lips, taking Tutor by surprise.
The kiss is so unexpectedly sweet and innocent that it almost makes him cry.  When they separate, he remains with his forehead against his, just enough to catch his breath and realize that he is holding something extremely fragile in his arms. He wants to protect him from everything else.

He kisses him again, and Fighter wraps his arms around his torso to feel him closer.  They open their lips, deepening the kiss, savouring each other for a time that seems both too short and infinite.

"Fight" Tutor whispers at some point, but the other doesn't seem to care. He decides to silence him with another kiss, instead.
"Don't tempt me, we should go now, you know it" Another kiss.
"Fighter" Eventually the vampire finds the willpower to move away from him.  "We have all the time later, okay? Enough for now"

"You are the one who brought me here and now you tell me I should go back to class" the boy accuses him, whining.
"Of course, I'm here to stand by you and help you, not to distract you."

It's obviously a lie

(I'm baaack! Sorry if you had to wait so long, but I finished my exams just a few days ago. I'm already writing/translating the last two chapters)
