Vampire Kisses

51: Kokichi

I pulled back from Shuichi and smiled. "You seem happy," I said, noticing the glint of joy in his eyes. The way he was looking at me like I was some treasure, and the way his smile was making my heart melt.

"Yes, I am," He paused wrapping his arms around me again before he pulled me into his chest. "For the first time in a long time, I am" He said against my hair making me chuckle a bit.

"I'm glad my romantic emo boyfriend~," I teased making him hide his face by pulling me closer to him. "Shu~" I said pushing against his chest so I could breath.

"You are smothering me!" I gasped making him blush again as his shoulders tensed a bit. "S-sorry!" He stammered as his face inflamed at this point. He was being painfully cute. It was almost impossible not to smile at this.

"It's alright my beloved~," I paused and moved back into his arms. "We should get some sleep!" I said feeling another yawn coming over me. Goddammit...why do I feel so exhausted all of a sudden. I tried to say something else but my body was taken over by exhaustion just slumped against Shuichi as I fell asleep.

...

My dream consisted of Shuichi and I being able to go out into the world without all the judgement. The judgement from being a gay couple as well as a vampire couple. I'm certain the outside world would not react kindly if they knew about vampires living among them...and it could even get potentially violent.

...

I felt my body shoot up as my eyes opened. "The hell?" I asked quietly as I felt some tears coming down my cheeks. Why the hell am I crying? Did that dream really make me cry?

"Koki?" Shuichi whispered, making all my thoughts go away. I looked down at him as he moved to sit next to me. For a long moment there was just silence between us. I moved my hand against the sheets to move into his hand. When my finger poked the side of his hand he slowly moved his hand to hold my own hand in his own. Slowly our fingers intertwined and it made me smile.

I let the silence dance around me like the silent ghost in the room, that although it isn't seen it can be heard and felt. I slowed my breathing as I noticed that it was kind of at an irregular pace. Taking in some deep breaths I was able to slow my breathing to the point where I felt comfortable talking.

"Hey...I had a dream where we were together...but they eventually took me away from you," I said, feeling the tears coming back. "God, sorry I don't mean to cry!" I said quickly, wiping my tears away. After I was doing this for a moment Shuichi's hands trailed up my arms until they reached my wrist. He held my hands in place before he moved. He moved in front of me and placed my hands on his chest. This made me feel nervous about what was going to happen next, while at the same time I felt so interested and enthralled at what Shuichi was doing.

"You don't have to apologize," He said slowly, making me feel calmer. He was calm and it made me feel safe knowing he was calm. He rubbed the back of my hands before giving them a final squeeze. He then moved his hands to my shoulders as he moved in towards me. He didn't end up kissing me on the lips...which was what I expected him to do in this situation. But he moved to my neck instead and nuzzled his nose into the crook of my neck making me shudder.

"Shui...chi." I whispered under my breath. He only quietly said "Shhh, shhh..." Before he gently kissed my neck. My whole body was on fire, I felt so embarrassed about what he was doing, when did Shuichi have to be this confident...sometimes it can get on my nerves.

"Calm down," He said again into my neck. I slowly felt him push me back down into the bed before he slowly moved away from my neck so he was on top of me, looking me dead in the eyes. "You need sleep, so here," He said, moving to the side of me so his arm was still over me. I moved my hand to his and he took it and laced our fingers together.

"Sleep," He cooed into my ear making my whole body feel heavy again. "But shu-" I started only to feel his lips on my own.

"Get some rest, we can talk in the morning," He said before my eyes closed again.

...

I didn't have a dream the second time I fell asleep and it was a little weird that I didn't end up having one. I slowly opened my eyes to see Shuichi looking down at me from my side. I blushed before I turned it into a smirk.

"How long have you been up~," I teased, poking his cheek with my hand. "N-not that long," He said in a not very convincing tone...I want to call him out for it...but I think I already know the answer.

"Liar," I whispered, moving into the crook of his neck as he did moments before. "Ah, sorry," He started before he cut himself off.

"What happened Shu-" I started before he cut me off. "Someones at the door..." He whispered, making my face go pale. Did they already find us?

"But Shu," I whispered as he got up. I didn't want him to leave my side, but I knew better than anyone that it would be dangerous for me to show my face to anyone...because people are tracking me.

Shuichi opened the door to reveal a lady with what I assumed to be her boyfriend. "Hello," The woman said with a smile and a wave.

"Hello?" Shuichi said as more of a question. "Ah, sorry, we just noticed you moved in here, and we haven't had neighbors in forever." The taller male said. "Is that so-" Shuichi trailed off and looked back at me for a split second before facing them again.

"I'm Shuichi, what's your name?" He said with a smile. "My name is Shai Shuno and this is my best friend Nekia Nidane!" She said with the same smile. Shuichi looked them both over again.

"Well, thank you for coming," He said before he closed the door as they said their goodbyes. Shuichi slowly walked back over to the room with a sigh.

"So?" I asked in a somewhat teasing tone...but I was more curious about how he felt about the whole situation at the door.

"Neighbors..." He whispered, putting a hand to his forehead. "We are supposed to be hiding...what if they find out..." He said more bitterly.

"Ah, Shumai! They can't be that bad!" I said moving over to where he was sitting on the bed. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and buried my head in his back.

"What if they are just neighbors?" I asked, putting my head on his shoulder. He gave me a side glance and sighed.

"But what if you get hurt because of them! What if they lead them right to us?" He gasped sounding fairly panicked. I moved my hand to rub the back of his neck knowing it helped to calm him down.

"It's okay, you worry too much," I whispered, placing a kiss on his cheek. "Maybe that's why I have you," He whispered with a smile coming on his face. I tilted my head feeling confused.

"What do you mean by that ShuShu~?" I asked looking at him. "Well, that means we balance each other out, and it's good because then you are always there to calm me down and I'm always here to protect you," His smile was making my heart race. Why is he so fucking cute? I thought to myself as I felt my face inflame.
