Summary: When a thirsty Ruiza comes to Tsunehito to explain why he and Asagi have been avoiding him, Tsunehito can't stand to see his good friend suffering. He offers Ruiza his blood, unaware of the consequences of sharing his blood with another vampire who is not his lover.
Author's Comment: After trying since yesterday I've FINALLY been able to post this chapter.
Ruiza couldn’t stop touching his tongue to his fangs to taste Tsunehito’s blood. It’d been a long time since he drank from a human. Ever since the invention of the blood machines his “diet” had changed. Instead of drinking blood from a living human he now drank from blood packs. He remembered how relieved he and Asagi had been when the machines were invented. They hated feeding off of humans. It made them feel like parasitic monsters, which was something they tried their hardest not to be. But… if Ruiza hadn’t drunk Tsunehito’s blood… how much longer could he have lasted without blood? He wasn’t used to fasting like this.
The vampire cast a quick glance at Tsunehito. He was still slumped against the couch but looked a little better now that he’d eaten something. Ruiza bit his lip as his eyes fell to the bite mark on the redhead’s neck. Part of him had enjoyed sinking his fangs into Tsunehito’s neck to drink his sweet blood. It was sick and he felt terrible for enjoying it… but he had. Worse was the way Tsunehito had arched into him when Ruiza bit him, how he’d cradled the redhead’s warm body against him. Ruiza hadn’t had a human lover since long before the blood machines were invented. Vampire and human relationships were complicated. He had to hide what he was, make excuses for being unable to go out under the sun, why he didn’t eat… and if a human lover did find out what he was, they never stayed. The last had almost killed him in the hopes of “saving” him from what he was. Ruiza angrily pushed the memory away as he glanced at Tsunehito again. What was wrong with him… the redhead was Asagi’s lover. Ruiza had no right to take pleasure from what had happened. He was ashamed of himself… but couldn’t deny that he had enjoyed every second of drinking Tsunehito’s blood.
Feeling tormented, he looked down at his lap. He should have been stronger. Should have resisted the redhead—for his sake and for Asagi’s. The older vampire had done so much for Ruiza, and now he’d betrayed him. Ruiza touched his fingers to his mouth then quickly pulled away. He was an awful person! He felt like he’d molested Tsunehito.
Ruiza started violently as Asagi’s thoughts brushed his. The older vampire’s thoughts were colored with thirst and a note of worry. Rui! Do you know where Tsune is? He sounded urgent.
The vampire stiffened. Shit! His worst nightmare was about to come true. We’re at his apartment. Why? Is… is something wrong? He bit his lip, knowing Asagi could sense his guilt and insecurity.
I just… feel like something happened. Is Tsune okay? I… I would call him but he must be so upset with me for avoiding him. And I’m afraid I’ll bite him if I come over.
Ruiza hated himself even more as waves of concern poured into his mind. Asagi, despite being thirsty and irritable, was still worried about Tsunehito.
He’s okay. Just tired. Ruiza had never loathed himself more than he did at that moment. What he had done was wrong. Terribly wrong—so wrong that Asagi had sensed something happening to his lover. Despite how horrible his actions were, Ruiza couldn’t stop himself from recalling the bite. Tsunehito’s warmth, the way he’d moved his hand into Ruiza’s hair, the taste of his blood filling his mouth… Ruiza froze, eyes widening in horror as he realized Asagi had seen those mental pictures. Shit! What had he been thinking for remembering this while talking to the other vampire? He shuddered and buried his face in his hands to hide his shame.
For a moment there was silence. Then Ruiza felt Asagi’s shock and anger. You bit my lover? He demanded.
I’m sorry! Ruiza wailed. I… I was so thirsty. I tried to resist but he… he kept offering… he trailed off and looked at Tsunehito. The redhead was watching him with a combination of concern and curiosity on his face. Did he know what Ruiza was doing?
Ruiza! Tsunehito is my lover, Asagi growled.
I’m sorry… Ruiza winced at the anger filling his thoughts. He broke the connection then spun to face Tsunehito. “You can’t stay here.” The normally sweet Asagi could get downright nasty when he was thirsty. He was irritable, quick to lash out, and became fiercely possessive of his lovers. He’d almost killed another vampire for kissing Ruiza once.
Tsunehito blinked. “Why not?”
“Because Asagi knows I bit you. He… he feels like I betrayed him.” Ruiza raked his blonde hair back. “Tsune, if you stay here Asagi will want to claim you as his and remind you who you belong to.” A vampire could handle that possessive anger, but Ruiza wasn’t sure if a human could. Especially one was fragile as Tsunehito.
The redhead looked confused. “So he just wants to fuck me? Rui, I’ve been through this with possessive guys before.”
“But they were human.” Ruiza wished Tsunehito would understand how serious this was. Possessive humans couldn’t compare to vampires. Especially now that Asagi felt like Ruiza might steal Tsunehito for him. It was the last thing he would ever do, but Asagi was too incensed to believe that. “Asagi isn’t going to be himself. He might hurt you!”
Tsunehito frowned. “Asagi would never hurt me.”
“If he’s had enough blood then yes. He’s thirsty though, and angry, and he will be rough with you. This is my fault so I can’t let him hurt you.” Once again Ruiza wished he’d refused Tsunehito’s offer. If he had, he wouldn’t have angered his best friend and gotten Tsunehito in trouble. As he glanced at the still-frowning redhead he wondered where they could stay tonight. Atsushi’s apartment? A hotel? Atsushi would be able to keep Tsunehito safe and he should be able to handle Asagi.
Ruiza reached out to touch Atsushi’s thoughts. He felt the other vampire’s satisfaction as he drank a glass of blood wine. Atsu! I need your help!
What happened?
Ruiza quickly explained what had happened, vaguely aware of Tsunehito calling his name. He could answer the redhead once he’d finished speaking with Atsushi. Now he’s coming here and I… I’m afraid he’s going to hurt Tsune.
You little fool, Atsushi said, sounding irritated. Were you even thinking?! I know you were thirsty but you never drink from another vampire’s human lover! Asagi has every right to be angry at you. As for Tsunehito, Asagi will not harm him.
But he’s angry…
Just as he was when someone threatened his claim over you, Atsushi sighed. If you’re so worried you can bring Tsunehito here. You might put Asagi in a worse mood if you keep him from his lover though.
Ruiza wondered if that would be a good idea. As he glanced at Tsunehito he decided it was better to risk it than to leave the redhead at his angry lover’s mercy. I’ll be there as soon as I can. He cut the connection then turned his attention to Tsunehito. “We’re staying with Atsushi tonight. It’s not safe here.” Before the redhead could protest, Ruiza reached down and swept him up into his arms. Tsunehito froze, obviously startled, then started squirming.
“Put me down! Ruiza! I’m not afraid of my own lover,” he complained. “And I am not leaving. Ruiza!” he struggled more, but it was useless for a human to fight against a vampire. Ruiza carried him towards his balcony then froze as he saw Asagi outside. Shit! How was he here already? Ruiza debated whether he should take Tsunehito out the front door. They were on the eighth floor so he’d have to take him down the stairs or the elevator… and it wasn’t that late so there would still be people coming and going from their apartments. They could be in danger if Ruiza did that. Maybe a window? No… they wouldn’t get far that way. And Asagi would be even angrier with Ruiza for trying to keep him away from his lover.
Tsunehito grumbled in irritation as Asagi opened the balcony door. “What is it with vampires and not using proper doors?” Ruiza watched Asagi enter the apartment. He was in much the same condition as Ruiza had been: blood red eyes, more pronounced veins, and he wasn’t breathing. Asagi glared at Ruiza as waves of anger rolled off him. Clutching Tsunehito tighter, the blonde took a step back. He wanted to keep as much space between them as he could.
Take your hands off my lover.
“Ruiza, put me down!” Tsunehito insisted.
Now! Asagi snapped.
Ruiza hesitated but finally set Tsunehito on his feet. He laid a hand on the other’s back to support him in case his legs were still weak. Watching those angry eyes from Tsunehito to him made Ruiza’s stomach twist in guilt again. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the lovers. Alarmed, the blonde vampire caught Tsunehito’s arm as he started walking towards Asagi. “Tsune, don't…”
“I told you I’m not afraid of my own lover!” the redhead pulled his arm free. “And if you’re so worried about making him mad then holding me back isn’t going to make this any better.”
Ruiza couldn’t deny the logic. He let his arm fall back to his side, hearing Tsunehito’s startled gasp as Asagi moved too quickly for his human eyes to follow. The older vampire yanked the redhead into his arms then clutched him possessively against his chest. Ruiza watched in horror as Tsunehito punched his arm. What was the redhead thinking, hitting Asagi like that?
“Don’t do that,” Tsunehito complained. “I’ve told you-mmf,” his complaint was abruptly silenced as Asagi kissed him fiercely. For a moment, Tsune did nothing. Then he returned the kiss as he made a “go away” motion at Ruiza.
Leave us. Now. Asagi ordered. Or do you intend to steal my lover?
I would never take Tsune from you! I was just thirsty… I’m so sorry. Ruiza bit his lip but didn’t move. He was too afraid of Asagi hurting Tsunehito to leave them alone. He jumped as Atsushi’s thoughts brushed his.
Go home, Rui. You being there is only going to aggravate Asagi more.
But he might hurt Tsune!
Or he’ll hurt you, Atsushi warned. I’m serious. Get out of there.
But…
Ruiza.
Ruiza sighed then bowed his head in defeat. “Asagi… I’m sorry. Please don’t hurt Tsune because you’re angry with me.” He looked up at the other vampire, who was still clutching Tsunehito against him. Ruiza’s words seemed to make him angrier.
“I would never hurt my lover.”
“You will if you hold me this tightly,” Tsunehito muttered, placing his hands against Asagi’s chest and pushing at him. The vampire didn’t loosen his grip. He shot Tsunehito a brief, annoyed glance then fixed Ruiza with another dark look. I’ll deal with you after I deal with him.
Just don’t hurt him. Ruiza’s shoulders slumped as he stepped out the balcony door. Briefly he glanced back at the couple then leapt off the balcony, running down the side of the building. Once he was on the ground he paused and looked up again. He didn’t know what exactly Asagi would do. Most likely bite Tsunehito to remind him that Asagi was the only vampire allowed to bite him. In that case… Tsunehito’s blood would restore Asagi’s good nature. In case he did end up hurting Tsunehito, Ruiza decided he wouldn’t go far. He would stay close by so he could run back to help Tsunehito if he needed to.
Sighing, Ruiza walked away from the redhead’s apartment. He could only hope he wouldn’t lose two of his closest friends because of his thirst. And that Asagi wouldn’t hurt Tsunehito.
Notes
1) I can't promise that Chapter 3 will come quickly. I'll try but I'm still figuring out what's going to happen in that chapter
2) It was interesting to get in Ruiza's head for this chapter. Aside from this part, I haven't written from his thoughts yet. It's always been Tsunehito narrating what's going on.
3) Atsushi, Asagi, and Ruiza are all very close in this series. Kind of like a vampire family of sorts.
