Vampire Kisses

50: Shuichi

I was sitting next to Kokichi in the car that was in the tunnels they had in the basement. I found it interesting that they had other bases around, I just wonder where we are going to be taken...and if it is even going to be safe for the both of us.

"Kokichi, where are we going?" I asked. I wondered if he even knew where we were going. "I'm not sure" He responded, answering my question. I felt my whole body tense. What if she is leading us right to them? I felt my whole body feel different, like something was taking over my senses.

"Shumai?" Kokichi asked, placing his hand on my arm. I shook my head a few times before I turned to face him. "You seemed like you weren't in control for a minute there." He said.

I could tell by the look in his eyes he was remembering that night, the night I lost control and bit him for the first time...I put him in danger because of how I lost control. I will never let that happen again..I can't.

"Shu, it's okay, I didn't mean to make you cry," Kokichi said with worry in his tone. I felt confused before I realized that I was crying. That memory is still painful for me, because of how he looked at me. That fear, that look of terror in his eyes. I never want to have to see it again...why did that have to happen to the both of us? Why did I allow that to happen...Kokichi just keeps getting hurt because he is around me...What a-

"Shuichi, look at me," He said, cutting my thoughts off. I looked into his violet eyes and I felt calmer from the small gaze. It was like all the words I would ever want to say were said in that exchange. All the words I wanted to apologize with, all the loving words I wanted to say all felt so real in that moment.

"Yeah," I said, feeling my words feel so weak as they left my mouth. "I'm right here with you, we are safe," He said, making my shoulders relax.

"Here we are," Akari said, giving us a small glance before she opened the door of the car. We both got out of the car and walked out into the driveway of the house we must be staying in.

It was a nice house. It seemed to be at least 2 stories which was nicer than what I was expecting. There was a nice white porch with a darker red brown floor. There was also the same color of red brown on the bricks of the house. It was a perfect match. We walked up to the front door and Akari opened the door and there was a couch in the main room with a bookshelf on the wall perpendicular to it.

"Nice pick Akari~" Kokichi teased while grabbing the keys from her hand. "Don't thank me, it was Jodian's idea," She said, making Kokichi flinch slightly. She didn't seem to notice this change, but I was able to feel his worry and slight fear when it came over him.

"Well, tell him thank you for me~" He said before waving to her as she got back into the car. The van pulled out of the driveway and left back into the tunnel. A grass hatch came over the entrance to the tunnel making it seem like it didn't exist in the first place. It felt like we have moved into a new house by ourselves like we are a married couple-

"ShuShu~ Why are you blushing~," He teased, poking my cheek. I covered my face with my hands before yelping, "N-nothing!"

He laughed a bit. "Well, I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later," He said with a smirk. I blushed more as he closed the door behind the two of us. Now to look around the house.

"We should check out our room! I am feeling tired from all the excitement we had yesterday~," He pushed my back towards the stairs to the top floor. "K-kokichi?" I gasped mostly from the comment he made moments ago.

"Ah, did I embarrass you?" He tilted his head cutely. I looked to the side for a moment before he seemed content with my answer. "Ooh!" He said seeing the room down the hall. He ran down the hall and you could hear the small patter of his feet as they hit the ground.

"It's got a nice bed and there is even a bookshelf! Don't you love reading my beloved~?" He asked more as a rhetorical question. I nodded my head before he went to fall back on the bed.

"God, I feel exhausted!" He sighed putting his arms over his eyes. I walked over to sit next to him on the bed. "You should get some rest then-" I started only to be cut off as his arms moved around me.

He pulled me down on the bed and smirked when he saw my flustered face. "If I have to sleep, then my beloved is going to get some rest as well okay?" He asked moving closer to my chest making me sigh a bit as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Ah," I said before the memories of that moment came back to my mind. Kokichi's life is never going to be the same because of me...he won't be able to do some of the things he would usually do...and he is going to have all the cravings and all this drama that comes with becoming a vampire..oh god.

"Shushu?" He paused until I looked down at him. "You seem all tense just now," He said before he changed his tone to a more serious one. Endearing even.

"It's okay now," He said, moving his hands to the sides of my face. I kept my gaze on his eyes as he smiled. His smile was calming to me. I moved my hand to cup his cheek but before I was able to Kokichi placed his lips on my own.

"Koki..." I said after he broke away for a moment allowing me to breathe. I blushed at the contact, but returned the kiss after tilting my head a bit. The kiss was loving and blissful, like in that moment alone we were going to be one with each other, for this moment the past was forgotten.

"Hmm," Kokichi hummed against my mouth. I felt enchanted by all the small things he did in this moment. How he moved his chest closer to mine. How his hand moved to play with the base of my hair. How he was able to keep his eyes closed throughout the whole kiss. I wanted to just look at him all throughout it, because when he was kissing me he looked so calm while being focused at the same time. His mouth being either in a smile or in a small line as some tears would come to his eyes. I loved all of it. Every face he made was another picture I took with my eyes to save in my memory past the end of time. Forever and even past that, I would remember this moment.

I love you, his mind seemed to say to my own. The words felt true; they felt like the only thing that would ever be real in this moment.

-The new house! We love our nerdy Shuichi! Anyways~ thank you all so much for reading!-
