When Yuu asked Mika where his old uniform was kept, the last thing Mika expected was to find Yuu shuffling through his things. Said things were kept in a relatively small chest. It’s not like Mika had accumulated much as they moved from place to place but, for whatever reason, Mika kept his old uniform. Which seemed to work out for Yuu because he gave an exclamation of triumph as the black-haired teen pulled out the uniform.
He spun around as he held it against himself with a wide grin over his face only to pause when he saw Mika standing in the doorway. Feeling his face burn red as he looked down at the clothing in his arms then back up at Mika, he offered him a nervous smile.
“Yuu-chan, what are you doing?” Mika asked skeptically as he stepped forward.
“I’m… I wanted to see if I could wear it.” the black-haired boy admitted sheepishly before a cheeky grin pulled over his face. “If it makes you feel better, you can try on my uniform.”
“Why would I want to do that?” Mika asked, unimpressed, only for Yuu to offer a small shrug.
“I just wanted to know if it would fit me or not, y’know? It’s so much cooler than my uniform.” He raised his wide green eyes towards the other and grinned again.
The pure curiosity in his best friend’s gaze startled Mika a bit. He didn’t see why Yuu wanted to wear it, not when it was a vampire’s uniform. Was there something Mika had missed? Was it that Yuu just wanted to understand him more? They’d been apart for four years but Yuu was being such a child right now, what with how excited he seemed to be just to wear a silly cape.
“And... I dunno. It’s just something fun? We’re stressed enough as it is,” Yuu pointed out.
Red eyes glanced down at how the other teen’s fingers curled into the fabric he was holding. Between protecting the people letting them stay here and Yuu’s demon slowly taking over, Mika supposed it wouldn’t hurt to have a bit of harmless fun.
Feeling a smile form over his lips, Mika reached over to ruffle up Yuu’s hair. “Alright, Yuu-chan. Next time, just ask me.”
The uniform was somewhat too big for Yuu but he was overwhelmingly happy about how long that cape was. Though Mika was slightly taller with the added on boots, the cape touched the ground. And the thigh- high boots went up a bit further too. Reaching back, Yuu pulled the hood up over his head while he grinned over at the amused Mika.
Mika seemed just somewhat uncomfortable in Yuu’s uniform. It hugged his skin tightly but not to the point where he couldn’t breathe...even though he didn’t have to anyway. It was like wearing leather to him, because while his shoulders were slimmer than Yuu’s, he was a tad bigger in the torso area. Looking over at himself in the mirror, he didn’t look too bad. He could even temporarily forget he was a vampire. If it weren’t for the red eyes staring back at him, at least.
He turned his head back towards Yuu. The black-haired boy seemed comfortable in Mika’s clothes. Mika couldn’t help the admiring smile pulling at his lips as he watched Yuu holding up the cape with the hood over his head. It was like they were kids playing dress up.
Almost like vampires didn’t exist and they were just making fun of the ‘what if’s.
Blinking back the tears welling up in his eyes as he was reminded of being a vampire, Mika brought a hand up to touch his now wet cheeks. With a quick glance up he caught Yuu’s fallen expression as Yuu was rushing over to him. He hadn’t meant to start crying, he’d meant to admire how cute Yuu looked in his clothes.
Wordlessly, Yuu’s arms came up and wrapped around Mika. He pulled him close as they both moved to sit on the bed in the room.
The sheets were tattered and dusty from years of not being used, though neither of them cared as a torrent of emotions crashed into Mika. He wasn’t suppose to get so emotional. Especially not when they were trying to have some innocent fun. Vampires weren’t suppose to feel much.
“Mmh, such a crybaby indeed.” Yuu commented softly after Mika had buried his face into Yuu’s chest. There was a small smile on his lips when Mika tensed and leaned back to look up at him.
Anger replaced the regret and sadness he’d felt. Well, it was more irritation than anything. That still didn’t stop the angry look from forming on Mika’s face as he pulled away and stood back up.
Yuu remained where he was seated, not really affected by the angry look Mika was shooting him. Honestly, Yuu was hoping for that, he hated to see Mika cry and it wasn’t often that he did. He’d rather Mika smile.
“Is now really the time to call me names?” Mika shot back, only for Yuu to laugh under his breath, which only succeeded in confusing Mika. He couldn’t fathom how Yuu would have the gall to laugh at him when he was upset.
Yuu pushed himself back up with a soft smile on his lips, walking towards Mika and lifting his arms to wrap them around Mika’s shoulders. It was a simple hug but tight and secure enough for Mika to calm down. He knew Yuu was just trying to get him to stop crying; Yuu was never good with dealing with people crying. Mika leaned into the hug and almost eagerly wrapped his arms around Yuu’s waist. Mika buried his face into Yuu’s neck without a second thought as he took comfort and solace in Yuu’s embrace.
Silence fell between them as they stood there holding each other. Yuu’s body was warm while Mika’s was cool and Mika wished he could enjoy the warmth from his friend. He stopped his train of thought, not wanting to continue to upset himself while Yuu was trying to cheer him up or at least reassure him without words. Just a simple hug was enough for Mika. It was enough to just hold Yuu close.
The only downside was that he could easily smell the blood flowing beneath Yuu’s skin; flowing through veins that kept him alive. The scent had Mika’s fangs aching and almost throbbing.
He hadn’t realized it earlier because he’d caught Yuu with his uniform, but now the hunger pulled at him like a magnet. The urge was powerful and Yuu was unsuspecting. Mika was glad he didn’t have to breathe because he’d be panting right now if he had to. But Yuu noticed.
He’d noticed when he felt Mika’s body tense up in his hold and he smiled a little more to himself. Yuu brought a hand up and carded it through blonde curls soothingly, feeling the silky strands fall through his fingers.
“Mika, if you’re hungry, you can bite me,” he encouraged in a knowing voice.
Mikaela pulled his head away enough to look up at kind greens eyes that crinkled at the corners because of the smile painted on Yuu’s lips. If Mika was still a human, his chest would be fluttering but either way, he couldn’t help but feel relieved by the smile so brilliantly painted on Yuu’s face.
He’d rather not argue with Yuu this time, not when Yuu was willingly letting him feed with such a smile. Mika didn’t feel the need to argue as he averted his gaze to look down at the tanned neck in front of him. He didn’t hesitate to open his mouth and lean forward again, sinking his fangs into Yuu’s neck after pushing the uniform collar out of the way. He felt Yuu wince and heard a slight hiss, just like before in the abandoned store.
It must’ve hurt, if only a little bit. Yuu never complained when Mika fed from him though. The teen never uttered a word as Mika fed; the blood flooding into Mika’s mouth and making him tighten his hold on Yuu. Especially when it seemed Yuu’s legs were giving out.
The blood sent energy spiking through his entire system and he bit down harder, eliciting a pain- laced gasp from Yuu’s lips. They sunk down to the floor in a heap, Yuu on his knees and Mika gripping onto Yuu’s shoulders while Yuu clung to him desperately as he endured the pain. Yuu liked being of use to Mika this way, it brought him some kind of thrill and it was his guilty pleasure to feed Mika with his own blood. Directly from his neck or anywhere else Mika bit into.
His senses kicking back in, Mika yanked away when the door was shoved open and the lavender-haired squad leader stepped inside.
There was blood dripping down Mika’s lips and a dazed look on Yuu’s face which soon heated when he saw the accusing look on Shinoa’s face. She looked between the two who’d switched clothes and tapped her chin thoughtfully. A sly smile pulled over her lips and she chuckled.
“Is this a new kink between you two?” She asked while placing her hands on her hips.
Yuu sputtered and scoffed as he shoved himself up, stomping over towards Shinoa.
“It isn’t! He was hungry and we were just seeing if we fit each other’s clothes!” He tried to defend their actions, but that didn’t make it sound any better seeing as Shinoa’s shoulders started shaking with silent laughter.
Mika smiled a bit to himself at how flustered Yuu seemed, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as he stood up. He licked his hand clean just as the other two looked back at him. Red eyes met wine- colored and green, shifting back and forth as he paused mid lick.
Yuu’s face heated further and it made Mika’s face break out in a small smile.
“I find that hard to believe, Yuu-san.” She clasped her hand on Yuu’s shoulder before stepping away. “I came up to tell you dinner is done but it seems you’re already feasting.”
“Sh-Shinoa!” Yuu squeaked as the door shut and the girl was gone.
When Yuu turned back around the last thing he expected to feel was a pair of lips pressing against his in a chaste kiss, further heating Yuu’s face. His chest fluttered but he couldn’t help but tense up. It had happened so suddenly, he couldn’t help it.
“You’re cute, Yuu-chan.” He stated as he pulled away. “Thank you.”
Bringing a hand up to his lips as he stared up at Mika, a bashful smile formed on his lips as he turned his head away. Yuu hadn’t expected a kiss from Mika nor did he expect Mika to even be his first kiss.
It was the perfect opportunity to throw the hood up over his head and yank it down over his face as he heard the joyful tingles of Mika’s laughter, which only widened Yuu’s smile further. It’d been so long since he’d heard Mika laugh. He’s heard him giggle every now and then but a full on laugh he hasn’t heard in nearly five years. It felt nice to hear it.
Yuu peeked out from underneath the hood with a more composed expression before he leaned up to return the kiss then left the room in a hurry. Mika was left pleasantly surprised.
Yuu had just left the room in his clothing and he could already hear Kimizuki yelling about how another vampire had gotten into the house, his yells punctuated by Yuu’s laughter.
Mika had better hurry down before anyone got hurt.
