Vampire Kisses

34: Shuichi

I held him close to my chest as he gently snored against me. It made me feel at home, like I belonged in that moment with him--like I belong with him. No lies, no jokes, just me and Kokichi together. After a moment of trying to get to sleep I was able to shut my eyes and relax. Letting my senses soon all go to sleep. Feeling my body shut down bit by bit. Making me feel one with Kokichi as I let myself rest.

...

"Shu-Chan~" I heard his voice call out. I couldn't tell if it was from a dream or not, it sounded so nice and calming it made me want to stay there, well wherever I was.

"Shu-Chan?" I heard him call out again before I felt his warm fingers gently move to my cheeks> I could tell by the feeling that I was awake...and we have to go to school today so there is no point in arguing about staying asleep.

"Mmn, Kichi?" I asked gently, letting my eyes flutter open. I saw him staring down at me because I just noticed that he was sitting on top of my stomach. I moved my hands to rest on his cheeks as he was leaning down so our faces were inches apart.

"So~ Did you sleep well?" He asked gently, moving his lips closer to my own. I couldn't focus on the question all I could think about were his lips.

"K-kiss me?" I whispered. I felt a little embarrassed not getting a response after I asked that. Kokichi just blinked a few times before he kissed my nose.

"There you go my beloved~" He said with a smirk. I would tell by the teasing look in his eyes that he knew what I wanted. But knowing Kokichi he wasn't going to give it to me unless I ask for it. I sighed to myself and looked him directly in the eyes. Here it goes...

"I want you to kiss me on the lips," I said with a bigger blush coming to my cheeks.

"Aww look at you asking for a kiss from me~ I'm so honored~" He teased again, making me frown. I knew this wasn't going to end...so might as well kiss him to shut him up.

"You are so adorable Shu-" I cut him off by pulling him into a kiss. This time he blushed more than me because of the surprise. It surprised me as well, because I'm not usually this confident, especially with things like these.

"Ooh," He said with a smirk as his blush faded from his cheeks. I felt mine come back to mine. How the hell does he do that?

"Look at you all confident and shit~" He said moving closer to me so he was holding himself up with his arms. His arms were on either side of my head as he way laying on top of me. The position alone made me blush, but I could tell Kokichi didn't mind it- probably because he is on the top...yeah that's probably it.

"Yes," I said, feeling more confident as I moved up from my spot under him. He yelped a little at the change but soon became comfortable sitting in my lap. I held him in my lap holding my hands on the sides of his waist while his legs moved to rest against my sides. He wrapped his arms around my neck before he buried his head in my neck, making it hard for me to not laugh.

"Shu?" He asked, pulling back for a moment while I collected myself from almost bursting into laughter. There is no way he is going to be able to use that against me...god, don't laugh.

"Are you," He paused, moving back against my neck. "Ticklish?"

I paled when he said this and felt my mind beginning to freak out. Oh god no, now he knows...and whenever I do anything against what he says I am going to be tickled...ah to die from being tickled to death--

"I already know the answer~ but we can do that later~! We need to get to school~" He said with a smile getting off the bed before moving over to his closet to grab some clothes. I followed behind him and got dressed as well. Is going back to school going to be weird? I mean Kokichi seems a little excited almost...but that could just be a lie. I shrugged my shoulders knowing for a fact I was thinking into his actions too much.

I didn't say anything as we got ready. Okay Kyoko should have given us all the assignments we missed, and we were able to get them all done, so we shouldn't have missed much. Hopefully anyway, I know at Hope's Peak missing one day can be hell even if you know what you are doing...

"You're nervous?" Kokichi asked gently, tapping my shoulder after I slid my jacket on. I looked down at him and smiled the best I could.

"Yeah a little bit," I said looking to the side. Kokichi caught my chin before I could and looked me into the eyes. I felt my face heat up as the immediate flustered reaction took place.

"It's okay~ I'm going to be by your side the whole time my beloved~ Along with Nagito and Hajime" He said with a smile. It made me feel better knowing the others would be there as well, but I still felt really unnerved about the whole experience. I was worried about having to have any new experiences...but life had other plans for me, over and over again.

Not that I don't like being able to be Kokichi's boyfriend after all these years or anything. I just don't like the fact that I met him again because of becoming a vampire...I wonder how it would have been if I never became one? Would we have ever met? Would I have never seen his true smile? Would I have never seen him honestly cry? I felt some tears coming to my eyes. No! I shouldn't be thinking like that! I'm here with him now and I am grateful for that!

"Are you sure you are doing okay Shui?" He said gently taking my hand in his while the other went to my cheek. I leaned into his touch wanting to just break down and hold him, but I got over my impulses and suppressed the last of the tears that wanted to fall.

"Yeah, let's get going so we aren't late." I said with the best smile I could give him. He let his hand fall and gave me a sceptical look before he sighed to himself.

"If you say so." He said before moving to grab his bag. I got mine as well before we both left the room. I looked back at the bed one more time as if to say goodbye to the warmth and safety it gives, but then I felt Kokichi's hand move to hold my own. I blushed at the action smiling as I grabbed his hand as well.

I have Kokichi, he is my warmth and my safety. So, I should enjoy the moments we have without all the thoughts of none of this happening in the first place. I looked at the walls as we walked down the stairs.

"Hey Leader!" Jodian called out to Kokichi, getting the attention of some of the others who were sitting in the room.

"Hello Jo~di~di!" He said with a smile making the others do the same. Anaki rushed over to us.

"Before you go, Don't forget your lunches!" She said before Jodian waved at the both of us as we moved to the door.

"Have a good day you two," He said with a smile before Anaki added, "Good luck!" Before Kokichi and I walked out the door.

The air was nice outside. It was a little chilly from the slight wind, but the sun was up and made it warmer. It was nice. Being able to walk in the autumn weather with Kokichi's hand in my own. It seemed as though the leaves were playing music as the wind blew them off the trees and onto the sidewalk. The gusting sounds alongside with the leaves tumbling and twisting in the wind made this all seem so beautiful. Like the moment wasn't real, like it was only in a dream. That's right, my dream with Kokichi will be my everyday life. Living everyday to the fullest, together with one another.

-I got a report done with the help of my mother because my teacher wasn't good at giving us the instructions to do it. But now that's turned in so I just have my worry of my math test on Friday! Thank you all so much for reading!!-
