You have been invited to the masquerade ball of the Kuromitsu Kingdom.
Being a duke's son, this is not a surprise. Rather, Totomaru Isshiki already expected this to happened. He turned to his attendant with a smile and nodded, "Please. Thank you."
The ball will happen tonight and his clothes to the ball have already been prepared in advance. Red and black. Although his family's color is grey and white, Totomaru decided to go out of the norm. This is a masquerade ball, no one will know him.
He can do whatever he wants.
A privelege for people like him. Away from formalities and his duties. Totomaru smiled. He looks good at his outfit. A blush travelled to his head thinking of that. He has never been a fan of compliments, even from his own self.
"You look wonderful, young duke."
"A-Ah.. Yes. Thank you." Totomaru turned to his butler, "You won't go with me?" He asked curiously. Usually, he would have an attendant to a ball. The elder butler unfortunately shook his head, "This ball is strictly only to the members of the high society."
"I see.."
"Please, be careful."
Totomaru titled his head to the worried butler, "There have been rumors that vampires appear at night." He had read that before. The dukedom is responsible to the police and army, protecting the citizens. He had read it once in the reports– that someone has died from blood lost. Pale and has a bite mark on its body.
So it's actually real? Totomaru didn't really believe it, but maybe he will. They drink blood, right? He thought as the servants polish his clothes. Do the person they drink from becomes a vampire too? He may be reading too much fantasy books.
"Thank you, everyone." Totomaru smiled, completely dressed. Some of the maids cried tears of joy seeing how handsome their master is.
"You're so beautiful, master!"
"Everyone might fall in love with you!"
"A 10! A 10!!!"
Totomaru sheepishly laugh at the lot amount of compliments. Really, his household is too overbearing. But he likes his household.
"I'll be off."
Totomaru looked at the window of the carriage, to the castle's direction. It's actually rare for the royal family to hold a ball. They are known for being solidary, distant from the other nobility. But Totomaru thinks that's what makes their country fair. No nobility can influence the royal family and do their own. Despite being distant, the royal family is truly still powerful.
The last time the royal family held a ball was years ago. When the prince has come to age. And he is still not married. Totomaru thought. As a member of the royal family, he must have a fiancée already or married. A royal baby is important.
But Totomaru is not the one to judge because he's already in his twenties and still a virgin, not even a history of dating or crushing. Totomaru inwardly sighed. He doesn't even accept the marriage requests and avoid the topic as much as possible. He just never thought of having a relationship. He would rather work for his family. Knowing himself, he doesn't think he'll even have a wedding or heir.
Fortunately, the Isshiki Family is powerful enough to have the privilege to marry a person they love and chose their future. Because that's what Totomaru wants.
They soon arrived at the castle. Totomaru set his foot down to the ground and looked around the other nobles entering the castle. He may know some of them and some are not. He can clearly see that the others really altered their appearance for this masquerade ball. Totomaru only wore an eye mask that matches the luxury of this clothes and his maids put some highlights on his hair, also changed its style. Totomaru can say that looks different from what he is usually seen.
Gold shined in all corners of the castle, diamonds as chandeliers and glass as cutlery. Totomaru walked with grace, passing through the ocean of people in the room. This types of events does not interest him much because he can clearly see how fake these nobles can be, but given that this is a masquerade ball, maybe not everyone is fake here. He leaned in one of the pillars, holding a glass of champagne.
His silver eyes looked around, trying to guess who could be the person in that disguise to ease his boredom.
"Hello, Tototo."
Totomaru turned to his right and saw a well-known violet hair, "Hello, Spitz." He smiled, "Spitz, this is a masquerade ball." He reminded. The other man who wears a pirate outfit with a hat and eyepatch smiled sheepishly, "I couldn't help but call you. How have you been?" Spitz joined Totomaru and leaned on the pillar as well.
"I've been fine. Thank you."
A servant came and Spitz took a glass of cocktail, "I heard that the prince will be here somewhere." Totomaru chuckled, "Really? Do you think he'll finally look for a lover?"
Spitz laugh, "I don't think that's possible, Tototo. Prince Ron is a very.... unique person." Spitz eyes look around. Totomaru hummed. It is known, that the prince is weird and rather... mysterious in his own way. Spitz is one of the people who gets to experience that first hand being the prince's childhood friend.
The prince is perfect if they say; smart, handsome, firm, and righteous. He is perfect for the throne they say. Totomaru has only met the prince twice for the sake of the kingdom and formalities. He does not have a bad impression of him yet.
I wonder if I will meet him tonight. The thought was random. Totomaru felt his heart beat faster and he shook his head, calming himself.
Spitz finished his drink, "I'll go talk to others. You should socialize too, Tototo." He grinned and waved, "See you around, Tototo." Totomaru smiled and waved back, "Yeah. Thank you." Maybe he will.
The night was full of laugher and conversation. Some people might have already recognized each other, some might be already making out in one of the room, some are dancing, some are eating. Totomaru leaned in one of the pillars once again. His feet feeling tired from all the dancing and standing. He talked to some nobles, and couldn't refuse the offer of dance of the other women nobles; he doesn't want to be rude.
"Would you care for a dance?"
A slender hand came to Totomaru view. He looked up and saw a very handsome gentleman. Dress in blue and black, his eye mask matching the ambiance of his outfit. He has blue eyes and black hair with white streaks. He wears a charming smile, mysterious yet also cheerful.
Totomaru stood straight, "Of course." He smiled politely as he placed his hand on top of the other person's hand, "Can I know your name?"
"You can call me Kamo."
Totomaru blinked at the rather weird name but didn't judged, "You can call me Maru." He smiled as Kamo held his hand firmly, bringing him to the center of the ball, the dance floor. In this society where connections are important, it is not unusual to see two men dancing with each other. Although, it still takes attention. Eyes followed as Totomaru and Kamo stepped into the dance floor, joining the others.
An unsaid agreement that Totomaru will take the role of the girl and Kamo will take the role of the boy was made. Kamo guided Totomaru's hand to his shoulder slowly and gently, like they have all the time in the world. His hand fitting perfectly on Totomaru's waist. Their hands intertwined, fingers laced and pressed against each other. Warm and something... something.
The music began, and thus their feet began to move. Their feet danced as their body swayed with the music. Totomaru looked at his hand on Kamo's shoulder and around, "I was taught that when dancing, one must look in their partner's eyes." Kamo said in a low voice.
Totomaru look at his face. Kamo's lips formed in a smirk as his eyes held amusement, "Maybe my partner is just to handsome for me to look at." Kamo chuckled, "You do know how to flatter." Totomaru merely smiled as they changed the direction of their steps.
Kamo's hand around his waist tighten as he pulled Totomaru closer. He leaned to Totomaru's ear, "I personality believe you are the most stunning person in this ball." It was sultry and seductive. It sent chills in Totomaru's body.
"You are a flatterer yourself." Totomaru chuckled, keeping his posture. Kamo smirked, "Only for you, dear." Totomaru blushed at the endearment. The women that had danced with him had also complimented him and some even called him with endearments (he kept it all with just formalities) but this man was the only one who affected him.
Kamo leaned back and ease with the music, "How do you find the ball so far?" It was that charming smile again, "It's fine. I was actually looking forward in meeting the prince." Silver eyes looked at those blue eyes, almost knowing. Kamo smirked, "I see. And what would you do once you meet the prince?" Kamo's hand lift Totomaru's hand up and twirl him around.
Totomaru's back hit Kamo's chest as they continued to dance, "Just say my greetings." Totomaru said with a smile. Kamo leaned to his ear once again, holding Totomaru's waist firmly and whispered, "If I meet the prince, I probably would bed him." Kamo twirl Totomaru once again and returned to their original position.
"I don't think the prince goes in that way." He lightly laugh. Kamo chuckled, "You'll never you until you try." Totomaru kept in his laugher, "Whatever you say, Mister Kamo."
"Just call me Kamo."
Totomaru look up and saw adornment in those bright blue eyes. He smiled, "Well then, Kamo."
Kamo's eyes dilated. Totomaru smiled so brightly, so beautiful.
The music continues and the dance was filled with warmth and laughter, with Totomaru's voice and his partner.
~~~
"That was fun." Totomaru smiled as he and Kamo went to the table of food, "Thank you for the dance." He politely smiled at Kamo who is looking at him with a smile as well, "I enjoyed it too."
It was indeed fun. Totomaru thought his night in this ball will be just like the normal, formal and boring. Kamo made it interesting and outside of his expectations. He is handsome too. Totomaru thought with a blush.
Kamo smirked hearing the compliment. Until something went wrong.
"My sincere apologies but I must leave."
Totomaru noticed the tightness and the subtle pain in the man's voice, which worried him, "Are you okay?" Kamo gave him a strained smile, "Yes. Just.. a little problem with my body." Kamo quickly turned in his heels and left, "See you around soon."
Totomaru watched as Kamo walked, almost out of balance with his hand on his chest, in pain. Totomaru couldn't help but go after the man in worry.
The hall outside the ballroom was dark and ominous. Totomaru looked at the big glass window and saw the moon in full fledge illuminating the halls. He is at where the guest rooms are. He continues to walk.
Until he saw a lean and tall figure being supported by the wall, "Kamo!" Totomaru worried called as he run to the man who is looking weak.
~~~
Ron made a mistake. He didn't noticed that tonight would be a full moon. He finally found the duke's son, whom he had been interested in for a while: Totomaru Isshiki. They had a dance and enjoyed the night until his damn body decided to seek food– blood. He went away from Totomaru the moment he felt it. They had been dancing earlier and the sight of his neck looks so alluring for his teeth and tongue.
Ron went to the guest rooms, to hide there until the night disappears. His body felt cold and throat is dry, searching for something wet, blood. Would Toto's blood be delicious... Ron immediately shook his head and continued to walk. He cannot hurt Totomaru with his fangs... until he gives permission of course.
"Kamo!"
Even with his heart being cold when he is being a vampire, Ron's heart bumped as his body warmed a little hearing that lovely voice. Ron turned to see Totomaru looking worriedly at him, "Kamo... Are you okay?"
Totomaru's face is too close. His hands touched Ron's body and it sent even more desire to his body. Coldness and heat fighting inside his body, in his skin, in his mind. Damn it! Ron closed his eyes painfully, "Why... are you here?" He tried to look fine but his voice hitched.
"I was worried so I came after you."
Ron's eyes looked at those genuine silver ones, his lips, his cheeks, his neck. Ron felt so guilty gulping his saliva. Totomaru is here being so worried about him, on the other hand, he is thinking of devouring him, taking all of him, all his.
"You're so stupid..." Ron groaned to no one. Totomaru frowned, "We should get you to a doctor or home." Ron looked at him, his vision starting to be hazy and narrow, "Why are you doing this?"
"I want to help you."
Those firm and worried eyes look at him. Ron's eyes fall to Totomaru's neck before he gulped, feeling the hunger, want entering his body completely. He breathed heavily, thinking of how would Totomaru's blood taste, the feeling his skin in his mouth, what would it feel to feed from the person you want. Ron's breathe hitched as he straighten his body.
Totomaru looked at Ron with confusion and soon his eyes widen. Ron stood in front of him, and his hand reached to the wall behind Totomaru, locking the brunette between his body and the wall. Totomaru's breathe almost stopped looking at Ron. He... looks hungry, probably aroused.
"Did you perhaps got drugged?"
Ron didn't answered and instead leaned his head to Totomaru's shoulder, his nose brushing the skin of his collar and neck. Totomaru held his breathe and pressed his body to the wall behind him. His fingers twitched a little from the pleasure of Ron's presence and breathe on his skin. His body is not even trying to reject it.
Smells so good... Ron thought, completely lost in the scent and desire he have. He pressed his lips on Totomaru's neck earning a small gasp. Ron liked that, he wants to hear more of that sound. He pressed his lips harder and dragged him down. He opened his mouth and began to lick.
Totomaru closed his eyes shut. He clenched his fist, as he unconsciously tilted his head to the side giving more access to Ron. It felt so good, too good.
Ron's hand touched his waist and pulled him closer. His breathing became more heavy. Blue eyes darken as fangs began to show and touched Totomaru's neck. Ron pulled himself from Totomaru and jumped, away from Totomaru.
"I-I'm sorry!" Ron immediately said, panicking. This is the first time someone smelled so good for him, he wasn't able to contain himself. It was a good thing he returned to his senses before he does something he will regret.
Totomaru pants as he leaned at the wall, still feeling the lingering kisses and saliva on his neck, "I-It's fine..." He said with a blush on his cheeks, "I think you have been drugged. We should take care of that as fast as possible." He looked away. He honestly doesn't even know what he is talking about; him wanting to do it with the person he just met or make him go home.
Ron gulped at the beautiful sight before him but took another step back, "I-It's not like that..." His eyes looked at the floor. Maybe he can tell it to Totomaru. Right now, he is at a disguise, unknown to the person before him, "I'm a vampire."
Totomaru's eyes widen as he whipped his head to Ron's direction who looks hesitant and dejected, totally different from the aura that he was exhibiting earlier. He somewhat look vulnerable, "You were trying to bite me?"
Ron looked around, "I'm sorry. Please leave me alone now." He was about to leave but a hand stopped him. Ron looked at his wrist and saw Totomaru holding it, "You're hungry." His eyes looking at him, like he knows everything.
It's not like Ron could deny it. He is hungry, hungry. But he would never hurt a person, especially not Totomaru. He could just lock himself in one of these rooms until the hunger subtle or until his father finds him. But right now, he cannot focus on Totomaru's eyes and his eyes wondered to his neck.
But before his mind become rational again, he is already being dragged by Totomaru to one of the rooms. They entered it and Totomaru sat him in the bed before he went to lock the room. He then went to Ron once again and stood in front of him, "How do you plan to make that hunger disappear?" He sounded serious.
"I was planning on locking myself in one of these rooms until it disappears." He is trying his best to be rational, to be human, especially with Totomaru in his in a locked room, "Why did you enter? You should just locked me in here."
"I don't want the people in the ball or the people who will be near here in danger." Totomaru said and looked at Ron, "You are hungry." His eyes looked at Ron who is looking very weak, hunger evident in his eyes. He pondered about it.
Ron said that he will lock himself means he doesn't intent to feed on anyone. Does that mean he haven't feed on any humans?
"I don't feed on humans... Well, I always lock myself in full moon."
"Uhm do you want to eat something right now? I can go and find you something."
Ron placed a hand on his face, "No.. I tried that already but it doesn't work... But right now..." His lifts his head and looked at Totomaru with hunger, "I want to bite you."
Totomaru felt his body shivered. He doesn't want to leave this man alone, he doesn't want anyone to be in danger as well, he especially doesn't want to leave this man in hunger. He may be too kind for his own safety. Totomaru gulped, "Do you... want to feed from me?"
Ron's eyes blinked a few times, he opened his mouth and closed it before opening it, "Well, I like you. You smelled so good, I want to taste your blood." It was blunt, but that's what he can say right now. Totomaru blushed at that. He actually feels to stupid bringing himself at this situation but he doesn't dislike it either. Instead, he felt himself being excited.
"I.. just want to make something clear."
Ron kept silent. His hands holding at the end of the mattress of the bed, controlling his hunger, himself.
"What will happen to me if you bit me?"
"You'll still be fine, a human."
"Oh.. Okay." Totomaru took a deep breathe and walked to Ron. He placed a hand on both of shoulder, "Can I take off your mask?" He asked politely, gentleness in his eyes. Ron's eyes widen as he hold his breathe, "If you get close to me, I'll bite you."
"It's fine." Totomaru smiled and placed a hand on Ron's cheek gently, "You can feed on me." He fingers touched the laces of Ron's mask, "Can I?"
Ron gulped. This man is too kind, too indulging. He felt his finger itch, his throat dry in hunger. His body heating even with the feeling of coldness. He felt is again, the extreme hunger, the want earlier. To pleasure, taste, and poke his fangs in that smooth and warm skin. Ron gulped.
He nodded and Totomaru untie his mask before pulling it from his face. Instead of shock, there was a smile on Totomaru's face, "Hello, my prince."
Ron blushed as he kept himself sat in the bed, "You knew?"
Totomaru took off his own mask, "There is no way I would forget your eyes. I believe you already know who I was from the start."
"I knew." Ron pushed himself up to the mattress, "... Are you sure?" Even if Totomaru did say he can feed on him, he still wants to make sure that everything is fine, "You don't need to do this, Toto. I can just lock myself in this room."
"Toto?"
"Totomaru is too long. Isshiki is too formal."
Totomaru blinked and nodded, "Okay." He put down their mask in the bed, "Even if you do that, your hunger will never disappear, it will just became little. It's better to feed and make it disappear." Totomaru blushed, "And I don't want you to suffer from hunger all the time."
"I haven't eat any blood since I became a vampire. I might not be able to control myself." Ron looked... afraid. Totomaru caught on to that, he smiled, "It's fine." Totomaru's knee wrinkled the bed sheets as he placed himself on the bed, "Look, every thing is going to be fine. Feed from me, as long as you won't be hungry anymore."
He can clearly see that Ron is holding himself back. He sat himself on Ron's lap. Pink blush evident on his cheeks, "Is this fine?" Ron nodded, "Can I... touch you?" Totomaru smiled and placed his hands on Ron's shoulders, "Yes."
Ron's finger trembled as he placed them on Totomaru's waist. He leaned his head on his shoulder once again, his breathing once again became heavy getting near that sweet alluring scent that makes him want to devour it. His fingers stopped to trembled and held Totomaru firmly in place, pressing him in his lap, in his body.
Totomaru closed his eyes when he felt Ron's lips on his neck, "Are you sure about this, Toto?"
"I am sure, Prince Ron."
Ron pulled from his neck. He looked at Totomaru's face, searching for any hesitation and doubt but there was none, "Please call me Ron." He said before leaning to Totomaru's neck. Totomaru smiled and wrapped his around Ron's head, "Yes, Ron."
He begun to kiss Totomaru's neck, he wants this to be pleasurable for him too. His finger trailed at the end of Totomaru's collar before pulling it down, exposing his collar and shoulder to him completely, Toto smells so good. He began to sniff the scent, feeling himself getting intoxicated. The hunger and want grew.
Ron pressed his lips on Totomaru's neck before opening his mouth, fangs showing. They rested on top of the skin, giving Totomaru a signal before sinking earning a gasp from the other.
Totomaru's hands on Ron's hair gripped earning a groan from Ron. Totomaru's head fell to the side of Ron's head, in his damn ear, panting from the pain mixed with pleasure. It stings his neck but it felt so good. Totomaru's throat gulped as he bit his lip.
Ron's fingers on Totomaru's waist felt warm. The moment he sunk his fangs in, his mind went blank. Intoxicated and hungry, he sunk his fangs deeper. His adam apples going up and down as he drink Totomaru's blood. It taste good... And smell so good. Ron felt he is getting drunk.
He can feel Totomaru fingers pressing on his head grip. It sent pleasure to his body, making him groan. His hands touched Totomaru's hips and brought him down to his lap. Totomaru gasp right in his ear. So sweet and cute.
He drink until he is satisfied. He can feel Totomaru tremble against his body, holding back those sweet sounds as his finger pressed and gripped in his hair. So good, so fucking good. Totomaru's blood tastes so good. It brings heat throughout Ron's body, making his cold body feel alive again.
He drunk until he is satisfied.
But Ron wanted more. He wants more. He pushed Totomaru closer to his body as he begun to licked his neck. He wants more of Totomaru. It's not hunger anymore. More than that, desire and lust.
He wants this man on his lap under him, panting, letting out sweet sounds caused by him, owned and for him. He wants everything of Totomaru.
Ron pulled from Totomaru neck. Under the moonlight– Totomaru looks so beautiful, so erotic. Ron licked his lips, his eyes on the blood trailing on Totomaru's neck, where he had bitten, where he had marked him. How cute and sensual he looks with that blush and hazy look in his eyes. Especially on his lap. Ron may have a feeling under his pants.
Ron can still taste Totomaru's blood in his tongue and god help him with his self control, next time that is.
Slender fingers touched Totomaru's heating cheek. Silver eyes flickered to look at Ron before holding his breathe. Ignoring the blood in Ron's lips, he smiled at Totomaru softly as did his eyes. But it is obvious that he has wants under them.
His self control is just stronger right now. The determination to not do what Totomaru doesn't want to. It sent warm and tingling to Totomaru's chest, feeling his cheeks heating up. Ron's fingers gently stroke his skin, "Can I kiss you?"
Totomaru found his self nodding, holding on Ron's shirt on his chest. Ron leaned to him once again, until they can only see each other, "Are you sure?"
A smile appeared in Totomaru's face, sweet and gentle. His forehead touched Ron's forehead, "You can kiss me, Ron." He whispered in a very affectionate voice. The way he said Ron's name was so soft and addicting it sent another feeling of happiness in Ron's heart.
Totomaru's hand found Ron's own hand and held it firmly, "Whatever you want."
Lips pressed against his own in a matter of seconds. Ron held Totomaru's waist, keeping him close and pressing him to his body, not wanting to close the distance between them. Totomaru's hand found purchase at Ron's hair, pulling him closer.
He can taste his own blood from Ron's lips. It didn't taste good but maybe for Ron it tastes good. Ron's lips trailed from his lips to his jaw and to his neck. His tongue licked the remaining drops of Totomaru's blood.
Ron didn't take his eyes off Totomaru's face, wanting to see, wanting to have every expression of pleasure Totomaru makes. He once again kissed him in the lips before turning their position and hovering on top of Totomaru.
Ron pulled himself from the kiss, a string of saliva following his lips. He pants looking at the man beneath him. Totomaru looks so enchanting, alluring.
Totomaru's hand touched his cheeks, warm and gentle. He looked at Ron with affection that it sent happiness to his chest once again. His eyes are firm and decisive, he does not regret, not a bit– telling Ron that everything is fine, everything will be fine and he is happy with this.
Ron's finger wrapped around Totomaru's wrist, pulling it from his face. He gently kissed the inside of Totomaru's wrist. His lips lingered as he pulled from the kiss and leaned down, drowned in the feeling of desire and Totomaru.
