Sui was walking down the empty streets of Harajuku, the crisp autumn air tangling through his milky white braid. He felt a presence behind him, and Sui looked around.
Nothing but the sound of the slow breeze.
But he could've sworn he had heard an unfamiliar sound? Sui brushed it off, continuing onward. The walk back to the mansion wasn't a long one, but it would rain soon. He couldn't bear to be in the rain, not with the cold weather already stiffening his joints. Mother would not appreciate it if his joints were stiff, especially if he could not dance for her. And if Mother wasn't happy..
Sui was cut off from his own thoughts as he felt the presence behind him once more, slim fingers curling around his neck as his breath hitched.
There was a warm yet sharp breath against his ear, the figure leaning close to whisper
"Now now what do we have here?" Sui felt shivers coursing through his body, unaware of who was behind him. Sui was able to turn his head slightly to see a boy smirking, licking his lips in hunger.
“I’ve finally found the prey I’ve been hunting for all over~”
The only explanation was that he was a vampire here for his blood. There wasn’t much left anyways, it was only a matter of time before he’d become nothing but an empty hollow
Yet the vampire still had his grasp on Sui, his fluffy indigo and mint hair cascading from his face, beady eyes still staring straight at the terrified boy.
“Awwh why do you look so scared~?” the vampire cooed, reaching for Sui’s waist, yet hesitated. “I don’t plan on killing you, definitely not”
Sui stood in place, managing to squirm out of the boy’s grip. He could get a better look at him now. He was slightly shorter than Sui, his violet and crimson eyes glinting back at him in curiosity.
“Who are you?” Sui spoke quickly, taking a few steps away.
“Goodness! no need to act like that” the vampire sighed, clearing his throat. “Name’s Jiko Himura, as you expected, a vampire,” he shrugged, “You don’t seem to care too much or else I’d probably be dead~”
He tried inching closer, yet Sui stepped back, He smirked slightly, “And you?”
“Sui…sen” His expression didn’t change.
“Sui Sen is it~”Jiko’s eyes flitted up at the sky, and then back at Sui. The boy was rather pale, but with gorgeous white hair, it was blinding for him to even stare at. He had fierce red eyes, but not filled with bloodlust like he’s seen before. Just simple, sultry crimson eyes, enticing him even more. He noticed the unfamiliar joint lines on his arms and fingers.. a living doll? But why did he smell such a strong scent of blood? Jiko’s curiosity was getting to the best of him, he just needed…more time with him…perhaps if he knocked him out right then and there he could take his blood without any problems, but the thought of leaving such a handsome boy here on the streets? When surely Jiko would love to-
He shook his head focusing on what was going on in front of him.
“Look.” Jiko clicked his tongue, approaching Sui again, “This can be quite simple if you comply, both end with you losing some blood, if you don't mind~” Jiko grasped Sui’s waist in surprise, as he hovered slightly to be taller. He lifted Sui’s chin, licking his lips, “You fascinate me, so I can take you somewhere…and we can talk more peacefully or I suck you dry right here on these streets~” Sui’s eyes filled with panic realizing what was at stake here. But despite his fear, he was feeling something still; there was still a heart beating, a breath quickening, his face still flushing. He was still human , just a little bit. If he could keep this feeling for just a bit longer, just to cling on a bit longer to the sensation of being alive.
It wasn’t like he wanted to go back to Mother anyways.
What could Sui really lose here?
Well, his life is at stake
He didn’t value it much on his own anyways.

Sui never thought there would be a time he’d be staring up at the high peaks of a chateau, the rain slowly pattering against the ceilings. Thunder begins to roar causing the empty room to tremble. The mysterious vampire was sprawled on one of the thick leather couches in the empty room. A loud yawn escaped Jiko’s mouth as Sui huffed, squinting his eyes to see the boy more clearly.
“Now then~” Jiko sat up, crossing his legs. His gaze was lost in Sui’s eyes, the scent of his blood overpowering his senses. It was almost hard to control. But he had to, he couldn’t let his thoughts take over, not yet. Yet the urge to sink his fangs into his neck, to see him squirm around in pain, tears staining the pale boy’s face as Jiko licks up every last drop from his body, leaving him helpless..
Jiko snapped back to reality, clearing his throat to focus.
“I’m here to suggest…a proposal..if you’re up for it” Jiko smirked, trailing his sharp nail across the arm of the couch. The sharp velvety scratching sent shivers down Sui’s spine.
“The truth is Sui..” the vampire began, “I’ve been eyeing you…for quite some time now-shocking I know! If you ask how..” He giggled, “That's not for you to know~” Sui’s eyes widened, yet refused to speak. “I’m going to get straight into it." Jiko inched closer, holding Sui's chin up to look at him, "I’ve never spent this long hunting for my prey, but you are such an interesting one.”
Sui’s mind was hazy, the emotions starting to overwhelm him, yet it made him feel complete. His flushed face has never felt more alive.
“W-what do you really want from me?” Sui stammered, the joints in his fingers creaking in the empty room they both basked in each other’s presence.
“I want you..to accompany me.”
“Eh?” Sui tilted his head, yet Jiko positioned it back, “I want you to stay with me, I know it's not..the best for you. I want to help if… you’ll let me” His rather flirtatious glance turned to a sincere and rather serious one. “Except.. I’d h-have to bite you, to be a vampire with me.” Sui’s opened his mouth to speak, “A v-vampire?”
“Yes” Jiko looked away, “T-that's the only way…It would be easier to control..uhm..that way..”
Despite the fear that was instilled in Sui, he was rather curious at the idea. He’d be able to feel again, to be able to feel the breath of another against his, the warmth of his own skin. Mother wouldn’t control him, he wouldn’t be tied to her ever again.
He could live .
“So now that you’ve thought a bit,” Jiko leaned into Sui’s ear once more and whispered, his voice raspy. “What’s it going to be darling~?’
Sui felt a smirk dance on his rosy lips, “I’ll join you, even if it means I’d be…a vampire with you”
Jiko looked at the doll curiously, “Are you sure? Have you even thought about it?”
“I have,” Sui looks down at the ground, biting his lip, “I..for some reason, I can trust you, I don’t know why, I can’t understand why, but there’s nothing left for me to lose.”
Sui approached him, feeling Jiko’s hot breath against his face, “If there’s nothing left , why not lose it all with you?”
Jiko smirked, licking his lips, “Well then, may I~?”
He brushed Sui’s long braid, revealing his ivory skin, almost delicate, porcelain even. He kissed it slightly, sending jolts through the doll’s body. Jiko left a trail down his neck to his collarbone. He felt Sui’s breath quicken beneath him, causing him to smirk
“Apologies Sui sui~” He left a deep kiss on his jawbone, “You just taste so sweet to me~”
Jiko knew he was stalling, he was scared, worried of going too far on the fragile boy. Yet he craved the taste of blood against his tongue, and it's been so long.
“Please…don’t be alarmed by the pain~”
Jiko grabbed Sui by his waist, bringing him closer to him, the other hand firm on his neck. He brought his lips closer, finally sinking into Sui’s gentle neck. His fangs pierced the rather tough skin, as Sui let out quiet whines from the pain. Jiko bit down harder, till the skin was broken, finally tasting the satisfying saccharine taste of blood against his tongue. Sui’s noises echoed against the walls, fueling Jiko with the pleasure he was begging for. Finally, that sense of relief Jiko needed, that sense of comfort he needed. The attachment with another person, someone who would trust him. He bit down harder, Sui’s angelic white eyelashes staining with tears. As much as he hated the pain, he was feeling something. He was feeling emotions, the touch he so desperately needed. As empty as the chateau felt, as hollow as his heart felt, he had his sensation. His heart pounding, face flushed, he was hurting . This mysterious vampire, who he barely even knew, was giving him the life that he was stolen from his entire life.
The world would cast Jiko as a sin, when really he was the doll’s saint.
When Jiko finally let his fangs release from his neck, blood pooled from the holes, starting to bruise. Jiko licked the excess blood from the doll’s neck, smiling. In this sudden moment, Sui already felt the rush of emotions fill his body. the emptiness, the hollow feeling in his heart. He felt a rhythm in his chest, the rise and fall of Jiko pressed against his own body, the vampire continued to lace Sui’s neck with gentle love bites and kisses, leaving marks all over. It was less of a negative feeling, and appeared more like a blank canvas being painted with bruises and bites and stains of blood.
“It’s done.” Jiko’s breath was heavy, his eyes flicking towards Sui’s stained with leftover tears and smudge from his previous eyeshadow. He smiled at him, leaving a simple kiss on his lips, warming his heart.
Despite the hollow shell of the room. the echoing of their voices, the moonlight and thunder reflecting off the walls, Sui has never felt more alive.
