Chapter Text

The house turned out to be perfect.

It wasn't much different from the one Mika, and then Yuu too, had lived in in the vampire city: there was a large ground floor and half of an upper one that was currently littered with their clothes and Yuu's soft blanket, functioning as a sleeping nest. It wasn't as comfortable as the one back home had been, but Mika made sure he filled it with more soft things as time went on, ranging from animals furs (Yuu had upped his snacks from bunnies to mostly deer, which were easier to find and hunt and sated his thirst better - whenever he slipped in his control, Mika carefully dried the animal's skin to make their bed warmer) to pillowcases stuffed with dry moss (which he had stolen off laundry lines from the close-by village - the pillowcases, not the moss). He planned to visit the nearest larger city soon to acquire real pillows and blankets, and maybe some more clothes with the cash he had managed to bring, but first, the commotion about their escape had to die down. To be recognized in a bigger city would be bad. The outhouse that belonged to the cottage was mostly in ruins, but there was no need for that, anyway. The lower floor of their stone cottage had an old sofa, an older table and a fireplace that stayed empty for now. Mika didn't want to draw attention to the fact they had claimed the house as theirs; while it seemed abandoned and far enough from the village not to rouse suspicion, the last months had made him vaguely paranoid.

No one would take Yuu from him again.

The large, scratched table was almost always littered with Yuu's blocks or puzzles, he still enjoyed those, although Mika didn't have to prepare snacks anymore. In the evenings they curled up on the couch together and read the books Mika had smuggled out.

This evening, Mika merely enjoyed the feeling of Yuu's body against his.

He was on his back on the couch, his head against the armrest, with Yuu dozing atop him, his head on his shoulder and his small hands curled into his shirt. Every breath pulled Yuu's warm scent into his nose, only slightly tinged with copper now blood was his regular diet - Yuu was still Yuu. Through the window across from him he could see the last light of the sun fading, the pink and orange of the sunset fading into the soft purple and deep blue of early night. For the first time in months, he felt truly at ease.

It wasn't until the sun had dipped below the tree-line that Yuu began to stir on Mika's chest, his flushed cheeks damp with drool and his eyelids still heavy with sleep. He yawned, tiny fangs shiny in the dim lighting like little pearls, long, thick lashes fanning over his cheeks.

"I'm hungry," Yuu mumbled, groggily rubbing an eye with his fist. It was what had woken him from his slumber, the urge to feed. It was so much less pleasant than before he was turned, knowing it would mean going out into the cool damp night while Mika searched for an animal for him to feed from. It didn't taste good; it was nothing like the cinnamon rolls that Mika brought home for him in what felt like forever ago. It was a gross, unnecessary thing that he had to do to survive and keep himself from going mad, but there was no pleasure in it.

"I hate drinking animal blood, my mouth gets full of fur and it tastes bad," he muttered, pouting at Mika as he sat up and straddled his lap on the couch. "Plus, I don't want to go out there and I don't want you to leave."

Mika had to smile. Spoiled little thing. Not that he hadn't encouraged that ever since Yuu had come to live with him. "I'm sorry," he said, because that was what he always said when Yuu complained about his new life; he looked up at the gorgeous boy on his lap and reached up to stroke his cheek. Yuu had possibly grown even more beautiful with the turning - maybe that was his own biased opinion only, though. The hand on Yuu's cheek pulled him in gently, curled around the side of his face to tug him down atop Mika again so the older could nuzzle his cheek into his hair. "It won't be much longer, little one. I promise. The time passes much more quickly when you have eternity."

He could feel Yuu huffing against his neck...then grow still, his little body tense. He blinked with the first brush of Yuu's mouth against his neck, the first scratch of baby fangs over his skin.

"Mika," the little vampire rasped against his flesh, his breath damp and warm. If only he could sate his thirst by feeding from the older vampire; if he could thrive off him the way Mika had on his blood before he had turned. It had to be infinitely better than a deer or a rabbit; much more intimate as well.

"Can I?" He asked with need, fangs scraping against Mika's neck and nipping at the sensitive skin. "Maybe it'll help. Please?"

The desire to feed was powerful, and even though Mika was a vampire as well, the thought of tasting his blood on this tongue was appealing - especially after surviving solely off forest creatures.

"Please, Mika," he begged with a small pout, thin fingers walking up the older male's belly and to his chest. "Then maybe we won't have to get up?"

Yuu's last argument was a pretty damn enticing one; Mika didn't want to get up, at all, much too comfortable with Yuu cuddled against him like this. It couldn't hurt, he figured, even if Yuu wouldn't be sustained completely by his blood - he had used his blood to heal Yuu's injuries before after all and turn him. It definitely couldn't harm him.

It sounded just a little endearing, too, Yuu's baby fangs in his skin. "Yeah, go ahead." Mika canted his head a bit to make space for the boy's mouth, reaching up to brush his ash-blond hair away from the side of his neck. He shifted to accommodate Yuu sliding up in him so he could press his warm little mouth to his skin, anticipating the sting of fangs - it had been so long since he had been bitten, he barely remembered what it was like.

Yuu's heart was racing as he hovered over Mika's pulse point, the desire to bite the other so so different from his desperate and shameful urges toward the animals. There was something carnal about it, yes, but it was beyond any need to sustain himself. No, Yuu remembered the euphoria he felt when Mika had fed from him vividly; how he had craved it and begged for it. The way the venom would make him wanton with lust and so very willing in the others lap. How Mika's hands on his body felt better than anything else.

To think that he now had the power to make Mika feel such pleasure was a heady thought indeed.

Yuu kissed at the thin layer of skin and then bit into his sire, curling his body around Mika's side, one hand fisted into the older vampire's shirt and the other his long blond hair.

He moaned, his eyes falling shut with pleasure. Mika tasted amazing and feeding from him felt incredible.

Mika felt his lids droop over his eyes with the small prick of needle-sharp fangs against his skin. He curled one arm more securely around Yuu's middle and hummed; it didn't hurt, of course not, Yuu's fangs were too thin to do any harm and besides - the last months had been painful enough. The way his little one lapped at his skin and sucked was sending very pleasurable waves through his body, gentle though, very comfortable. He could feel the skin around the puncture marks numbing with Yuu's venom as it was intended and closed his eyes, stroking a hand through the soft wild hair. "Mm."

The blond wasn't worried that Yuu would accidentally drain him; the thought was ludicrous and made him smile lightly. Yuu's body was too small to take in such large quantities and Mika noticed, with a small start, that he trusted Yuu. Implicitly. He had done such a good job so far with his snacks, most of them got away drowsy but alive, certainly more in control of himself than Mika had been freshly turned. He couldn't kiss Yuu's hair like this as he wouldn't be able to turn his head far enough without dislodging Yuu from his neck, but he gently dragged his fingernails over Yuu's scalp and the back of his head to offer his support.

Yuu murmured peacefully against Mika's neck, suckling slowly from him, for the first time enjoying feeding since he had been turned and wanting to make it last. He savored the flavor of his sire's blood, allowing it to roll over his tongue and bath it crimson. He draws were slight, gentle, much like how Mika had so carefully fed from him when he was human.

The older vampire's blood helped sate his hunger, but his desire for the other had only increased. It wasn't all that different from when he'd felt Mika's venom course through his veins and make him needy and desperate for the blond's touch and affection. It was like a powerful aphrodisiac of sorts, making Yuu forget completely about how he'd needed sustenance, the boy consumed now with the need hardening beneath his pants that he couldn't help but grind into Mika's side.

Oh, now that was a surprise. Mika smiled lightly to the insistence against him; when Yuu drew his mouth away with a small gasp, droplets of blood still slowly beading and rolling down Mika's neck, catching along his collarbone to finally pool in the hollow of his throat, the elder vampire turned his face and kissed the boy, all over his face. Gentle pecks that turned into a full kiss when he reached Yuu's red-stained mouth, soft and pliant against his and Mika smiled, cupping the back of Yuu's head to hold him close. "Did you like that?" he asked him silkily, lips stroking Yuu's with the words, not even pulling back from him.

His largest concern was Yuu maybe not being able to digest his blood anymore; Mika could get used to Yuu's mouth at his neck, sustaining and caring for him in a different way from before but still making sure Yuu got what he needed. "Are you feeling alright?"

Yuu's jaw hung slack and he panted against Mika's mouth, emerald eyes glazed over as he nodded. He felt much better than alright; he felt incredible. His entire body was buzzing with eagerness to be touched, kissed, licked. He was desperate for so much more - but it wasn't blood he was craving any longer.

"Didn't my bite, didn't it make you?" Yuu said in a breathy voice, small hand traveling down to the crotch of Mika's pants to paw at the material. They were a nuisance, all of the clothing they were was. They had never been completely naked together and the thought of their heated skin touching, of their bodies rubbing together like satin, it made the little vampire whimper with want. "Aren't you feeling anything?" He asked with hazy confusion. Surely he had venom just like Mika did, he'd seen its effects on the animals he'd fed from.

Mika was amused, to say the least. He hadn't even touched Yuu with his fangs and the boy was acting as if he had pumped him full of his venom. It was incredibly endearing. "Your bite...?" he asked, canting his head in question - but when Yuu began to tug at his pants, Mika immediately knew what he meant. "You mean if I'm affected by your venom?"

He couldn't help it - the chuckle burst from his mouth quicker than he could stop it and he bit his lip when Yuu looked up at his face, a mix of indignation and disappointment on his pretty features. "Oh, Yuu, no...I'm sorry, don't look at me like that." He cupped Yuu's cheek and kissed his soft mouth, a series of quick, firm pecks to reassure him. "You're so young...your venom will be stronger when you're older, I promise." Now that the situation was clear, he really felt bad for laughing at Yuu. He could entirely imagine how excited Yuu probably had been, remembering how good it had felt when Mika had bitten him back when he had been human, how wanton and helpless he had felt and how needy to be touched - the thought of Mika suffering the same at little Yuu's fangs had probably been a really nice, heady image. And he had ruined it by basically being too old.

Yuu frowned against Mika's insistent lips, not kissing him back and drawing his hand away from the others lap. Even now, without being the one fed from, Yuu felt terribly wound up and needy for his lover's affection. That none of it had affected Mika at all was disappointing. He had wanted to see Mika wanton and hungry after his bite, wanted him to be as desperate for him as Yuu had been for Mika.

It wasn't fair.

"You don't feel any different at all?" Yuu mumbled with dismay, pulling back to look at Mika with wide, questioning eyes. "Maybe I need to bite you more?"

Mika actually had to bite his lips against the incredible innocence on Yuu's face...even if it was flushed, a sheen of blood still clinging to his plush mouth, and his eyes hazy with need. He sat up when Yuu scooted back from him and caught him around the waist to put him right back where he belonged in Mika's opinion - on his lap. "I'm not saying it didn't feel nice, sweetheart," he murmured with his face nuzzling Yuu's dark hair; Mika could feel how stiff the boy was in his arms, pouting and disappointed with him. He couldn't help but find it adorable, either way. "Look, I'm neither human nor am I freshly turned, Yuu...you're just a few days old, in this life, your venom isn't strong enough to affect me yet. It will be, one day, don't worry." An amused smile curved his lips. "Did you want to make me come undone?", Mika asked, a teasing lilt to his voice, poking Yuu's side gently.

"So what if I did," Yuu muttered with embarrassment, halfheartedly swatting Mika's hand away from his side and turning his head away. All they really had for entertainment was each other and it would have been fun to watch Mika at his mercy and begging for his touch. Mika was always so in control; it would have been interesting. And also maybe more than a little exciting.

"How long am I supposed to wait now? Like a hundred years?" Yuu said with a pout. He really wasn't clear on exactly how old Mika really was. Appearance wise, he looked to be no older than twenty, but from the things Mika and Ferid had both said in passing, it seemed as though Mika had been around during the previous century.

Yuu didn't want to have to wait that long to make Mika melt with desire for him.

"Are you really that eager to see me like that?" Mika grinned, bending his head to nip at the soft little ear that was pulling into a point already at the tip, still looking more human than vampiric but would elongate into the distinctive elfin shape very soon. "We don't need to wait for your venom to become more potent. That's not what makes me want you."

At Yuu's quizzical glance back at him, Mika chuckled. "What, you think I don't desire you?" Now this was a game he could get into; with a quick shift he snatched Yuu up into his arms and leapt into their lofty bedroom in one fluid motion. Yuu was pinned to the bedding they had managed to accumulate with his blond sire hovering over him; in the relative darkness of the niche they had made their nest in, Mika's eyes glinted almost like feline's where they looked down at him, pupils slitted. "You're mine, Yuu," he murmured to the little brunet, one hand holding himself aloft over the boy, the other grasping Yuu's wrist and bringing up his hand to gently scrape his fangs over the thin skin of his wrist. "Knowing that is much more arousing than your venom could ever get, even if we wait a thousand years."

Yuu blushed deeply, tucking his chin down into his chest and watching the way Mika played at his wrist with his fangs. He was embarrassed, of course, his little tantrum for wanting the other to be ravenous over him so blatantly exposed. But, the thrill and electricity that ran straight to his small hardness at Mika's verbal claim and the way he blanketed him with his larger body trumped any modesty the boy had left.

"Oh," Yuu breathed out, squirming under Mika, his needy little cock rubbing against the crotch of his jeans as he shifted and lifted his hips. Maybe he really was spoiled; he always wanted more.

"Bite me?" The boy asked quietly, smacking his lips when Mika's grazed against his sensitive wrist. "Please, Mika, just a little..."

He wanted so much more.

Mika glanced down at him, from the corners of his eyes, busy nuzzling and teasing the delicate skin. He rolled his tongue into Yuu's palm and stroked along the curled middle finger. "I just fed you," he rumbled, nipping at his fingertip. "I'm not too convinced I should take nourishment from you when I just gave it." But he didn't have to actually drink, did he...and even if he succumbed to Yuu's sweet blood, or even the memory of what it had tasted like when Yuu had been human, he could always give it back to him. The thought of Yuu's tiny fangs in his skin made him shiver. What Mika wanted was the same that Yuu needed.

More.

He sat back, smiling at Yuu's small whine when his body-warmth left him, and even let go of his hand...to grasp the hem of his own shirt and pull it up and over his head, ash-blond hair feathering back into the artful tousle he kept around his face and neck. Yuu had seen him naked before, of course, whenever he'd pay attention to Mika changing into uniform or out of it, but come to think of it...whenever their cuddles had taken a more heated turn, there had been clothes between them still. Mika had felt more secure with them, actually, knowing there was something of a barrier between them - something that protected Yuu's tender, young body from the ravenous beast that lived beneath the vampire's collected exterior. He had had the notion that he was still protecting Yuu by refusing to go all out, coveting the little human's innocence and keeping him whole and out of harm's way.

Mika didn't have to hold back anymore.

His pants went next, pulled off and taking his socks in the same motion. Yuu's vampiric body, young as it was, was a lot more resilient than his human body had been - especially now that he had been fed on his sire's blood. Mika could already see the effect his blood had on the boy, looking past the haze of arousal and seeing the pallor of Yuu's skin fade which had been brought by the lack of proper nourishment of the animal blood he had been drinking, replaced by the subtle porcelain glow that was inherent to healthy, well-fed vampires. It took a load off his shoulders, really. Yuu wouldn't have to snack on bunnies anymore, now.

When Mika was all bare, Yuu's clothes were next to go. He didn't want anything between them anymore now that they were so close, fingers pulling at Yuu's jeans and pulling off his hoodie; when Yuu's head was free of it, his arms tangled in the soft fabric above his head Mika let go with a small, mischievous smirk, eyes running down the pale little body. "Mm. Yes. Much better."

Yuu shivered, wrapping his arms over his body and then slinking a hand down to cover his erection. It was terribly ineffective, his palm brushing against his hardness only making the boy gasp and keen beneath his hovering sire. Even just the slightest touch of his own hand made his little cock drool in anticipation.

It wasn't the first time Mika had seen him naked; he had given him baths after all. But it was the first time that Yuu had been fully undressed around the other and aroused; it was an entirely different situation.

Yuu whimpered, his own bare skin feeling as though it was magnetized to Mika's for how wanting he was for their smooth bodies to crash against each other in heated bliss. He was barely sure where he wanted it to go from there, far too gone with lust to think through all of the possible ways they could bring each other pleasure and just what his sire would choose to do with him.

He was beautiful and perfect; not a mark left on his body from when he'd been stabbed. All pale skin and tiny pink nipples that had hardened when the cooler air hit them. A shallow dip in his middle, his navel at the center of his still plush belly, soft to the touch and tender.

Yuu blinked slowly, exhaling deep hot breaths as he slowly pulled his hand back up his body and tucked it beneath his chin. It was an act of bravery, exposing himself in such a way, on his back beneath the stronger vampire.

But, Yuu wasn't afraid.

It was a startling contrast to Mika's chiseled body atop his; the blond grinned at the sudden picture of Yuu clinging to the last shreds of his modesty. He took the boy's hand again, cupping the back of it with long fingers and lifted it to lick his palm once more, tasting the sticky sweetness that clung to it. "You're so needy, Yuu," he told him in a deep, throaty purr, pressing a kiss to the center of his palm before he lay Yuu's hand next to his face, the small fingers curled in against his palm. His mouth followed, brushing against the side of Yuu's soft neck. "I like that."

Mika licked the fluttering pulse and lapped at the hollow of Yuu's throat, making his way down the petite body, slowly. He took his time; neither of them actually needed sleep, and it wasn't like they couldn't sleep in. The thought of spending the morning napping and dozing and cuddling, all curled up with each other, made him giddy. He lowered himself against Yuu, purring at the heat that greeted him, the silky skin - Mika couldn't wait to sink his teeth into Yuu again. He hadn't even realized how much he had missed it, feeling the tender body give beneath his bite, the way Yuu would shudder and moan. The last weeks had been too exhausting to even think of that. The elder vampire trailed his mouth, soft and warm and moist, down one of Yuu's arms and up the ticklish inside again to cross over onto his chest; one of the tiny pink nubs was next to be attacked, strumming his lips over it until Yuu mewed. "I love you," Mika murmured against the narrow chest, reaching to grasp the hand he had licked and tangle their fingers.

"I... I love you, too," Yuu whispered, slinging a leg around Mika's waist and rubbing his foot against the small of his back. The blond's lips on his body felt like heaven after everything he had been through. He had almost forgotten how soft and sweet Mika's kisses were and the way they would dance over his skin leaving him always wanting more.

There was never a moment since they met when he didn't belong to Mika, even though he hadn't realized it in the beginning. Now, thinking back to that day in the busy market, he understood that something magical had happened between them. Mika had wanted to care for him from the very start, before any kisses or promises. Mika had wanted to give him a good life.

And now Mika was his sire, they were bound to each other for eternity. It was a bond that could be twisted with hatred and complicated feelings of betrayal and anger, or one that could be nourished into something powerful and beautiful. Something that would be unbreakable and make them connected in a way that no human pair ever could be.

"And I'm glad you turned me and that I'm yours. I wouldn't want to belong to anyone else."

Mika hummed in agreement, giving the little nub a light nip before kissing a line over to the second, dragging the flat of his tongue against it firmly until it peaked as well. "You know," he said, almost conversationally. "I don't think we should wear clothes at all anymore around the house." He gave Yuu a boyish grin before sinking even lower, rubbing his face against the soft, flat belly, fangs catching on the rim of Yuu's shallow navel. He had to shift to get further down through the embrace of Yuu's slender legs, propping them over his shoulders so he could nip at the inside of one thigh.

Thirst flared when he mouthed the silken skin; he wanted to bite Yuu, after all. All thoughts of not taking from the just-fed fledgling went out the window at the soft mew Yuu gave him when his fangs sank into the thick vein, his hand curled around the outside of Yuu's thigh to hold it, soft ash-blond hair brushing and tickling the boy's most sensitive parts, covering the cradle of his hips with the long strands. It was absolute bliss. Yuu's blood was still delicious, still Yuu, even if there was a hint of something that had not been there before...Mika recognized it as his own blood, mingling with Yuu's in his veins. For a moment, the blond was lightheaded - the thought that he was inside Yuu in the most fundamental way, that he was what fed and fueled his little progeny made his eyes slam shut and a shiver run down his spine. It was like what he had felt when he had made a human Yuu food and the boy had hummed and smacked his lips in enjoyment while eating - just a thousand times more potent. Now they truly were entangled. Mine.

Yuu moaned brazenly, completely unashamed of the lewd, lustful sounds escaping his throat. His sire, his Mika, was feeding from him again and it had been far too long since the blond's venom had coursed so strongly through his veins. It was more powerful than feeding from the older vampire, making all of his muscles pliant and yielding to the vampire whose lips were so close to the only hardness left on Yuu's body.

With each graze and tickle of the blond's hair, Yuu whimpered wantonly, lifting small hands to curl into the long locks and tug at them gently. In all of their time together, Mika had never fed from him this way. Yuu had thought with naivety that there was no more intimate way to feed, but now with his sire lapping against his inner thigh he knew there were so many things he had yet to experience.

And he was thrilled at the prospect of doing all of it with Mika.

It didn't last long, even with the absolute bliss of being with Yuu this way again Mika knew he couldn't take too much or he'd leave the kid as drained and listless as he had been before feeding from Mika. He drew back with a long lick against the puncture marks to staunch the bleeding and seal the small wounds but he didn't yet pull away; his mouth, hot and damp, ghosted over Yuu's warm skin, tasting every tremble, every shift - his cheek brushed against Yuu's cock and he smiled at the whine he received in return, turning his attentions there next; Mika curled his arms around Yuu's thighs, his skinny knees still resting on his shoulders, and pressed his palms down on Yuu's narrow hips - and trailed his tongue up the weeping little cock, slowly, like a cat cleaning a beloved mate.

Yuu's hands were in his hair, his voice filled their new home, his taste was in his mouth; Mika felt his heartbeat pick up. This was perfect. This was home. He was so relieved, so filled with intermingling emotion, Mika wouldn't have been surprised if he cried right now.

Yuu panted, his eyes widening and his jaw going slack with shock. Nothing had ever felt better than Mika's tongue slowly dragging up his length, warm and slick with his hot breath wet and ghosting over his hardness. He tugged mindlessly on the blond's hair, his body shuddering with want as a large pearl of pre-cum formed at the tip of his cock.

"Mika, don't stop," Yuu begged shamelessly, so caught up in the pleasure the other was giving him that he didn't even care how he might come across in his lust. It had been so long since he'd had Mika's hands on him, drawing out his neediness and making him feel safe. Mika was the only one he could ever be vulnerable with, and Yuu had nearly forgotten just how good that felt.

The blond rumbled wordlessly in reply - he wasn't planning to stop, not at all. Yuu's taste was muddling his senses in the most pleasant way. Mika curled his tongue around the head and lapped up the droplet with a deep hum. "So good, Yuu," he purred, nuzzling him before licking at him again; his tongue curled around the slender staff and maneuvered it into his mouth in the same motion, easily sinking down over the full of him. His fingers were pawing against Yuu's skin, unable to stop touching him, needing him close, closer still.

One of his hands smoothed up the boy's narrow waist to splay his palm over his chest, the thin skin and delicate bones doing nothing to keep him from feeling the boy's heartbeat, quick and delightfully strong. I love you so much.

The boy mewed, his head falling to the side and his chin resting against his shoulder. He looked absolutely precious that way, pink lips wet and quivering, dark eyebrows knotted together and his eyes screwed shut. Mika was the only one that ever made him feel good in every way with his touch, gentle and loving, unselfish and knowing. The blond could feel the boy's toes curling against his back, his body unused to being manipulated in such a sensual and satisfying way.

One hand dropped from Mika's hair, pawing at his shoulder and squeezing it, Yuu needing to hold onto his lover so terribly in some way. It was amazing having Mika's mouth wrapped around his cock, expertly sucking him off, but he still wanted to hold onto to Mika, to be held by him; no matter how close they were it just wasn't enough.

Mika groaned at the sight, the vibration fed right into the hard length in his mouth. One of his fingers came close to one peaked, flushed nipple and strummed across it, enjoying the way Yuu writhed and jerked with each caress. Lips firm around the very base of Yuu's cock he began to build suction, harder and firmer until Yuu cried out, his nails raking across Mika's shoulder, leaving faint pink lines that paled moments later already, his body so quick at healing again. His own hands felt up Yuu's soft skin - the one on his chest unknowingly resting right over where the stab wound had been, as if still trying to protect him from the long-healed injury.

The elder vampire pulled his mouth off, slowly, to flick his tongue against the sensitive head; he wasn't surprised when heated wetness splashed into his mouth a moment later, and against his lips when he drew back a little to watch the spectacle. Mika purred; it was as sweet as his little one himself was. "Did you like that?" he purred up, licking his lips and pressing a kiss against the joint of where Yuu's inner thigh met his pelvis. "I did."

Yuu was a mess, overstimulated and spent, shivering beneath Mika as his muscles twitched and spasmed. He nodded his head erratically, eyes finally opening to hazily look upon his sire. Mika was so much more than that, though.

The brunet reached out his hands, grabbing for Mika with his fingers, needing to feel him close and have his smooth, warm chest pressed against his own. He could barely find words to speak, so deliciously sated, so he whined instead, little lip pouting out as he pleaded for the closeness he craved.

Mika had to laugh at the boy's behavior, like a cute little puppy whining for attention. The low, velvet sound smoothed over Yuu's thighs, up his belly as Mika slid up easily, off of Yuu and to his side so he could curl the boy close against himself; he even tugged one of the raided blankets over them so he could cocoon his little lover in with himself - not that they needed the warmth, but it felt nice anyway. Safe. Like home. Mika pressed a kiss against Yuu's forehead, his arms firmly around the slender body. Blue eyes, only recently returned to their original color after the intense time of bloodlust he had experienced, closed when his own cock brushed Yuu's soft thighs...still achingly hard. He had forgotten all about it while he had been pleasuring his little love, but the need returned with a vengeance now. Mika groaned; Yuu's shifting had trapped the length between his silky thighs and the blond couldn't help but love it. He could feel every shift of Yuu's muscles, every little thrum of his heartbeat where he was stuck.

"Mm, Yuu..." he murmured, lips running down his temple to his warm cheek to groan against it as he gave a slight, experimental rock of his hips...oh, that felt like heaven. His hand fell to the outside of Yuu's thigh, pressing it closer to the other one, increasing the friction.

Yuu smirked lazily, catching on quickly and squeezing his thighs around Mika's cock that were still wet with the others drool and his own cum. He bucked his hips slightly, rocking against the blond until they found a rhythm where Mika could thrust into the tightness between his legs without his heavy, slick hardness slipping out.

He grasped the back of Mika's neck with one hand, the other around his body as he tried to keep his lover as close as possible. It was perfection feeling his hard muscles brush against his chest.

He had never been closer to Mika and Yuu's eyes flicked up at the thought, catching Mika's with his own.

His sire's eyes were half closed, the barest glimmer of sapphire blue visible between the thick, dark lashes, but they returned his gaze and held it; Mika's lips were parted, the tips of his fangs barely visible. It was as close to rapture as Yuu had ever seen his face, color flushing his porcelain cheeks and panting softly - all because of Yuu, no one else made him feel and look this way. He wasn't as vocal as Yuu was, but Mika was just as needy for his lover's touch and that was a reassuring thought.

Mika groaned; his forehead touched Yuu's and his eyes fell shut. His hand slid from Yuu's thigh to his hip, over onto the perky curve of his behind, and grasped one cheek possessively; with a deep groan, he followed Yuu over the edge, slicking the insides of his thighs. His grasp loosened but he didn't let go completely, more kneading the soft flesh instead of holding it. "Mmm fuck..."

Yuu's body went slack and he curled as close as he could to Mika, releasing his hardness from the grip between his cum coated thighs and wrapping his leg around his waist, pulling himself against the blond and brushing their softening cocks together. He buried his face in Mika's neck, kissing the salty skin and licking it at, teasing it playfully with his fangs but never breaking his sire's skin.

"I love you, Mika," he murmured, wet lips rubbing and massaging his sensitive skin. He had what he wanted, a home and someone that cared for him, that wanted to spend his life with Yuu.

Considering their lives were eternal, it was more than Yuu could have ever hoped for.

Mika actually purred. He was warm, sated, relaxed, and Yuu was nuzzling at him. He rubbed his cheek against the soft, dark hair that seemed to be perpetually mussed no matter how he brushed it and let his eyes slip closed, for a mere moment letting his guard drop completely. The sounds of the night filtered in again now that they weren't making noise anymore, owls calling to each other in their haunting voices and predators of the night scurrying through the underbrush. "I love you too," he replied, fingers playing against Yuu's tailbone.

His little love was so tiny still. If he could, Mika would turn him completely right now - the in-between of Yuu's existence was gnawing at him, it was an uncertainty, and insecurity he didn’t like one bit. Like this, Yuu was vulnerable, unable to reach his full potential, but he would grow still. Not much, probably, there was only so much good care could do after Yuu had been neglected all of his life, but a little at least. Mika kind of liked the idea that Yuu would always be short and petite and adorable. It made carrying him around much easier and more validated, and Mika loved nothing more than having Yuu in his arms. "I'm going to introduce myself to the villagers, I think," he said softly after a moment. "See if we can strike a deal with them somehow...I don't want to steal blood." I don't want to be the monster in the woods. "In the daylight, too, not creepy or anything. What do you think? I just don't know what we could offer them in return."

Yuu frowned at even the thought of Mika approaching humans, knowing full well how vampires were perceived by them - he used to be one himself until recently, after all. What would happen if they weren't open minded or accepting? Would they come into the woods, chasing after him, threaten to behead them both and burn down their cottage? It was a huge risk and one that Yuu wasn't quite sure they should take.

They had finally found a place where he felt safe again and could be together.

"What if they don't want to make a deal with you?" Yuu asked quietly, pressing his cheek against Mika's chest. "They might not take a vampire showing up too well, you know. People are scared of vampires and if they think you're alone, or you just have me, they might try to fight you off..."

"That's true," Mika sighed, raking a hand through Yuu's hair. "These people seem ungoverned, they don't have a lot of experience with vampires, if at all...we may have to move again." He winced when Yuu's bright eyes turned up to him full of disappointment. "I know, it sucks. But we can't survive without blood, you know? I think it's better to approach them with friendly intent than to be the thing that comes to bite them in the night." He rubbed his thumb over Yuu's plush cheek. "I just want you to have a safe home until you're old enough to turn fully." He gave him a light smile. "Your sixteenth birthday is less than a year away, that's not so much time, right? We could wander for a few months, should they chase us away...but I'd like to know you're safe and cared for until you're out of the in-between."

Mika dipped his chin to kiss Yuu's forehead. "Maybe I can offer them my strength or something in return, they're bound to have some heavy lifting, right? Don't worry. I'm sure they're reasonable once they see we mean them no harm."

Yuu wrapped his arms tightly around Mika, staying quiet for once and keeping his thoughts to himself. Yes, it was true that Mika needed blood to survive - they both did in different ways. But, it seemed as though banking on the humans returning Mika's kindness was a dangerous approach. It made a lot more sense to Yuu for Mika to find some other way to feed, something covert that wouldn't let on to the humans that there were vampires living in the woods near their village.

He hoped that the other humans would be less afraid of Mika than he had when he'd first realized he was being carried through the market by a vampire.

He hoped they'd give him a chance as Yuu had and see just how amazing Mika truly was.

The blond petted over Yuu's head, down his back and up his spine again, repeatedly until he felt Yuu sink against him a bit more heavily, having dropped off to sleep. He didn't like this prospect one bit, but he refused to be discouraged before even trying. The next morning, after a rather restless night considering he always slept so well when Yuu was in his arms, he kissed his sleepy little progeny goodbye. "I'll be back very soon," he told the boy quietly - the same words he had spoken to him when he had left for work the first day Yuu had come to stay with him, he realized. They had come full circle; he just hoped this new home wouldn't end like the last one.

Donning clothes that would seem unthreatening, jeans and a hoodie, he made his way to the village.
