Chapter XXIII(A) - Tell Him

You took a sharp breath, still unsure as to whether this was a good idea. Still, it was better than torture...and even if they did kill you, what would come of it? If Karlheinz was going to reverse time then surely that would erase any of the injuries you accrued? Ayato's hand tightening around your neck was a clear indication of your time limit, and you closed your eyes, steeling yourself for what was to come.

"I was going to say...now that I know Karlheinz will just force me to redo things every time I die until the outcome he wants is achieved." You said, and his hand loosened immediately, moving to the strap of your dress and pulling it aside, your eyes flying open in response to see him gazing smugly down at you.

"Knew that would get your eyes open. Was that so hard? I plan on keeping you around for a long time, so you had better get used to telling ore-sama everything." He lowered his face to your neck and bit deep, giving a moan of satisfaction as the blood flowed into his mouth. He pulled away after a minute or so, licking the bite clean of blood as he fell to the bed next to you, pulling you to his chest in an almost suffocating embrace. "I hate that I missed you when you were gone..."

"And I hate that I'm back here after all that hard work escaping. I think I have it worse. You can't have missed me that much." You muttered, and he laughed, pinching your arm so harshly you gave a yell of pain, attempting to wriggle away from him and failing.

"Ore-sama really did miss you, though. I think you should be making amends for that, actually. Six months of not drinking your top tier blood has got me so thirsty." He bit you again, drinking for so long that you felt unconsciousness creeping toward you despite having drank some of Laito's blood earlier.

"Ayato...you're taking...too much." You gasped, his only response being the tensing of his arms as he prepared for your inevitable struggling. "Ayato!" Had telling him been the wrong thing to do? You slowly felt your mistake bring everything crashing down around you as he took more and more blood, more than he ever had before, even at his angriest. He was going to kill you, drain you of your blood and leave you dead for Karlheinz to fix. Oh god, you had been so stupid! What if Karlheinz bringing you back made you less human? More of an empty monster? Why hadn't you considered everything before giving him your answer? A tear slipped down your face and he caught it with his tongue, the absence of his mouth leaving a cold spot on your neck that immediately stung.

"Mmm...don't worry, chichinashi...I plan on returning the favour," he murmured, an oddly anticipatory gleam in his eyes as he leaned in, tilting his head to the side and - much to your shock - baring his neck to you.

"...Ayato?"

"If Laito is the only one that gets to have this with you then he'll end up monopolising you. Even if it's for the sake of hunger alone, you'll go to him. I don't want to be left behind." His words were shockingly honest, and he even seemed rather vulnerable. You reached up and placed a hand on the back of his head, pulling him to you and sinking your teeth in, his blood having the same electric quality of Laito's while also having a completely different taste, explosive and bold...dominating, almost. You had to admit, it was extremely palatable, your hands on Ayato becoming rougher as you gripped his hair in order to get a better angle on his neck, biting him again and enjoying the stifled gasp of shock he made as you deliberately bit down harder. Eventually you pulled away, feeling heady and lethargic despite the new energy shooting through your veins, falling back onto your pillow with a sigh of deep satisfaction.

"Th...anks..." you murmured with a hazy smile, and he gave a scoff, leaning in and licking his blood from your lips before taking his place next to you, the embrace he pulled you into this time feeling a lot more...gentle? No...that wasn't quite the word.
