Chapter Text
There was no explanation for what occurred for the next twelve hours where Yuu slept like a rock and Mika stood guard and tried to clear his head. There was... nothing to explain what had just happened.
When Mika's uneven heart rate had finally settled again and his breathing was back to normal (all of these being incredibly human actions to his shock and further bafflement) he was paralyzed with a mixture of horror and fear as he stared at the raven-haired boy and recounted everything that had just happened. His lips pressed to Yuu's neck: teasing and innocent at first but then heating up quickly as the sweetness of Yuu's blood and his own exhaustion strung he final cords of his mind.
And Yuu... goodness, just thinking of the lewd things he said made Mika's face heat with the presence of a blush and he groaned before dropping his head in his hands, blonde hair falling in waves around his fingers. What had he been thinking? They both had hormones- or at least he was pretty sure he did based on what had just happened and he knew for sure Yuu did, cherry boy or not, and Mika's predator had taken advantage of that. It had preyed on Yuu's weakness- if he hadn't passed out, what would have happened? Would he have eventually killed Yuu with the drinking of his blood in between such intimate behavior?
And most of all, where had that behavior come from? He had been told since day one that vampires lacked any kind of sexual interest or desire and if they did engage in it, it was likely for reproduction and he didn't want to think about the nitty gritty details there. None of them were capable of even thinking about things aside from their next meal aside from the eccentrics like him and Ferid and Krul- where did that leave him? Had his vampire senses broken so completely that he had been tempted to act that way with his own family?
It felt good.
Such an embarrassing and sudden thought made Mika growl again into his hands as he dug his fingers into his hair tighter. That was the weirdest part, he had enjoyed it, the whole time his heart had been racing and it wasn't just because of the contact- plenty of vampires pressed up on him to tease him and feigned such actions and even some humans were desperate enough to try and spare themselves through something as worthless as sex, and none of those times had resulted in him feeling so... aroused, to put it bluntly.
He dared a glance through his fingers at Yuu as he slept, the boy's shoulders rising and falling with each tired breath and his hair falling messily over his eyes. Mika couldn't forget the bright green with in them, or the way they had desperately locked with his as his body was so close. His lips were full and still flushed and Mika found himself running a thumb along his own, remembering their intermingling breaths and the warmth of Yuu's tongue twined with his own. The heat was incredible for a world that had seemed so cold.
Mika leaned back and hit his head against the concrete in frustration. This is bad.

The first thing Yuu noticed when he woke up was that he felt even more tired than when he had originally fallen asleep. And that he also couldn't remember falling asleep. When he finally opened his eyes the raven simply laid there trying to comprehend his thoughts and surroundings. He was in a building, there was something hard under him but he had a blanket over his body which he tugged closer to him subconsciously as the wind curled around the corner. It was pitch black outside and it smelled like blood. His muscles were sore and stiff.
He sat up slowly, groaning and pressing a hand to his neck at the discomfort there, fingers brushing against the risen skin just above the bite mark near his shoulder- all too quickly did the events preceding his little nap rush back into his head, and soon the blood rose to his cheeks as he dropped his hand and stared blankly at a crack in the wall.
"Ehh?!" His reaction was immediate once the dots were connected and he recoiled backwards, hitting his head on a crumbled section of the wall and helping at the sudden rush of pain sparking in his skull. He rubbed his head painfully and whimpered, though he was still clearly overwhelmed. "That can't be right, there's no way I did that... it had to have been a dream." It was a stupid conclusion but Yuu wasn't the smartest or most logical creature, so maybe it wasn't surprising that he accepted that with a goofy smile as he rolled off of the bed before stopping in his tracks.
"But how did I get these... eheh, marks?"
His figers trailed along the risen skin and his face burned again before he tugged the collar of his shirt up to hide them. Maybe Mika had forgotten. How long had he been asleep?
And where was Mika?
"Oi- Mika?!" Yuu's voice wavered a little with panic. He supposed it should have been normal for Mika to wander off, but for some reason the thought of his blonde friend being out of his reach filled him with panic.
He tried to stifle it, poking his head around corners and under desks with growing anxiety before finally going outside where it was so dark he couldn't see a foot in front of him. He squinted, trying desperately to find that blonde head he had grown used to seeing.
"Mika! Where the hell are you, idiot?" He called out for his friend in a rather rude manner but he didn't have much patience left as his anxiety continued to bubble closer and closer to the surface. He gritted his teeth with a low tch as he tried to keep his cool, turning around and kicking a rock with his toe. "Fine, don't answer me! I'll find you sooner or later anyways."
His cocky words were more or less a disguise and he knew that well, even though he desperately tried to ignore it. But after an hour of scouring the city and finding nothing he finally grew panicked and sunk down against a concrete wall and pressed his forehead to his knees, hugging his legs and digging his fingers in to stabilize himself. Stay calm. There's no way he's hurt. He was fine last I checked... he's probably just patrolling or something.
"Yuu-kun?!" The voice startled him from his thoughts and his neck snapped up at a blinding speed at the familiar tone, his eyes widening at the small boy standing in front of him with an expression of both surprise and fear, clutching his bow with white fingers. The raven scrambled to his feet with shock.
"Yoichi?! What the hell are you doing here? Where's Shinoa and Mitsuba and Kimizuki, are they with you? Why aren't you at the rendezvous point? Did something happen?"
"Yuu-kun," the small boy whispered again, this time seeming even more scared than usual as he ran towards Yuu and suddenly wrapped his arms around his torso and hugged him with shaking fingers. "You have to help! The others were taken away by the vampires, and they have Guren with them!"
