Chapter 7
Tatsuya walked out of the bathroom dressed in a sheer black bathrobe that shimmered when he moved, revealing patches of his skin in the light. He sipped his water and turned his head at the knock on the door. They weren't expecting Tomo and Jin... He decided to let his lover handle the person at the door.
“Lazy,” Kazuya teased his Chosen while winking at him before heading to the door. It couldn’t be Tomohisa or Jin. They would still be in bed. They didn’t rise as early as he and Tatsuya did. Shaking his head, he opened the door. “Can I help….you…” his voice trailed off as he stared at the man on the other side. His eyes darkened and he crossed his arms over his chest. “What do you want, Ryo?”
Ryo smiled at Kazuya. "I was in town...thought I'd say hello to an old... Who the hell is that?" he asked while pointing towards Tatsuya, who blinked from his spot in the kitchen.
"I'm Tatsuya..." he said softly and crossed his arms over his chest."Who the hell are you?"
Uh oh. Kazuya could already feel the animosity between the two. “Ryo, this is Tatsuya. My Chosen. Tat-chan, this is an…old friend. Nishikido Ryo.”
Ryo's eyes narrowed at the black long haired male with shining, fiery blue eyes. He turned his eyes back to Kazuya. "Your what? Please tell me you're kidding! You can't have taken this...this...girl to be your Chosen," he snapped with a low growl.
Tatsuya's eyes widened in hurt while moving closer to Kazuya, flinching in obvious reaction to Ryo's words. He wasn't a girl. "You don't pick your Chosen. It's fate," he retorted softly before biting his lower lip, feeling powerless to the obviously elder vampire.
Eyes just as fiery, Kazuya raised a hand and ran his fingers through Tatsuya’s hair. “Don’t you dare call him that. He’s more of a man then you ever could be. I’ll ask again, Ryo. What do you want? If it’s to insult my Chosen, then you can leave right now.”
Ryo glared at Tatsuya then looked to Kazuya again with a smile. "I told you. I came to visit. I'd like to talk to you later...alone," he stated quietly. "I'm in 577," he added simply before turning on his heel and making his way to the stairs.
Tatsuya made a face after the other man and nuzzled into Kazuya's neck. 'Don't go. Make him talk to you here. I don't trust him...' he whispered into Kazuya's mind.
Petting Tatsuya’s hair lightly, Kazuya kissed him softly. ‘Don’t worry, Tat-chan. I’ll be fine. I’ll go see what he wants, then he’ll leave and that’ll be the end of it. Okay? If I’m not back in an hour, go get Tomohisa.’ His master would be able to handle things if they got out of hand. He was certain. But he didn’t think that Ryo would harm him.
'Call him up here. I don't want you to go alone. I want you to talk to him here, with me. He seems to hate me for no apparent reason,' Tatsuya replied while leaning into the soft kiss as he slid his hands over Kazuya's silk robe. 'I'll even get dressed so I won't distract you,' he added before pulling away to go and find clothes.
Closing his eyes, Kazuya nodded. He could never deny Tatsuya anything. ‘All right, love. I think its best if we’re both dressed when he shows up.’ He didn’t trust Ryo either and maybe this would be for the best after all.
Tatsuya nodded before getting dressed in a pair of faded dark blue jeans and a white T-shirt with print on the front. Brushing out his hair, he then made the bed before returning to the kitchen and his tea from earlier. He finished making Kazuya's tea before taking a seat at the dining room table. While his lover was getting dressed, he sent a message to the front desk of the hotel to dial up room 557’s hotel room. Now that he had thought about it, he wasn’t about to go into a place that Ryo had control. Even though Ryo was younger, he was still quite dangerous. He watched as Kazuya walked into the room and smiled. "Made your tea," he pointed out helpfully before taking another sip of his own tea with a sigh. "So, how do you know the mean guy?"
“Ryo?” Kazuya smiled as he thought of the other vampire. “He wasn’t always mean, Tat-chan. It’s a fairly long story and even he doesn’t know all of it. You weren’t the first that I had changed.”
Tatsuya blinked before lowering his mug slowly and wrapping his fingers around the warm porcelain. "You turned Ryo," he stated matter of factly while looking into the steaming liquid of his black tea. He couldn't help but feel weary. Did that mean he had a relationship with Ryo too? Had he spent time with Ryo like he had with Kazuya, would he have saved Ryo too?
Reaching out, Kazuya grabbed Tatsuya and kissed him softly. “I did, yes. It was five hundred years ago. He doesn’t know it was me. He was sick and I felt sorry for him, so I had changed him. He doesn’t remember it, however.” He smiled while brushing a finger along Tatsuya’s cheek. “But I never had a relationship with him, not like I have with you. I didn’t change him because I wanted to be with him. I did it because I couldn’t stand to see his suffering.”
Tatsuya moved to sit on Kazuya's lap. "You did a good thing," he said softly while stroking his fingers through Kazuya's silken hair before turning his head as there was a knock on the door. "You should answer that," he suggested, not wanting to move from Kazuya's lap. Instead he held on tighter like the child he still was, wanting to be picked up when Kazuya walked.
“You’re so cute.” Kazuya grinned before placing a soft kiss on his lover’s nose. He looked over at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly. The lock clicked and the door opened slowly. “Please come in, Ryo.”
Ryo walked into the suite and removed his shoes before moving towards Kazuya's scent. He blinked. "I thought we were going to talk alone, Kazuya," he said with a low growl. "Not with your plaything around."
“Tatsuya is not my ‘plaything’ as you call him. He is my Chosen. Anything you have to say to me you can do so in his presence.” Kazuya indicated a chair near the couch. “Have a seat, Ryo.”
Ryo took the offered seat and stared at the two entwined vampires with a glare. "How can he be your Chosen?"
“Why, the same way Jin is Tomohisa’s. You should know that by now,” Kazuya replied with a shrug. “Why are you so insistent about this anyway?”
"I..." Ryo stopped before sighing softly. "I thought I was your Chosen..." he answered almost sadly.
“Ryo….” Kazuya sighed before closing his eyes. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he shook his head. “What you feel isn’t the bond of a Chosen, Ryo. It’s something you know instinctively and not something you ‘think’ you are with someone.”
"I don't understand..." Ryo whispered as his brows furrowed together in confusion while he looked towards the two vampires. "Then why do I feel so strongly towards you?"
Sighing, Kazuya looked at his lover before gently prodding him onto the couch. He got off of the couch and went over to the chair that Ryo was seated on. He sat in front of him, his eyes never leaving Ryo’s. ‘It’s not the bond of a Chosen you feel, Ryo. You’re my Childe...I am your sire.’
Ryo's eyes widened before blinking slowly and he sat back. "You...w-what? Why didn't you tell me?"
“I’m sorry. I should have.” Kazuya sighed. How could he explain? “I was scared. You were sick and I was ashamed for taking advantage of you. When you didn’t remember it, I decided not to say anything. I’m sorry.”
Ryo looked to Tatsuya with a sad, apologetic smile. "Sorry I was so rude," he said before looking at Kazuya. "I forgive you. I was sick and you did what was best for me."
Tatsuya nodded at Ryo's words before moving to kneel in front of him. "You'll find your Chosen one day. We can even help you if you want," he suggested with a smile. "But no touching my Kazuya," he added firmly while moving back to Kazuya's side and hugging him tight.
Smiling, Kazuya patted Tatsuya’s hand then looked at Ryo again. “He’s right. You’ll find them one day. It may take awhile, but you will. Do you understand, Ryo?”
Ryo nodded and smiled. "I can see why you like him," he remarked with a sigh while wishing he had someone like Kazuya had Tatsuya. "He's rather adorable," he added while licking his lips and leaning back as he spoke mentally to Kazuya. 'Has he sucked you off yet?' he queried. 'He definitely has the... face...'
“RYO!” Kazuya stared at the younger vampire, his eyes narrowed dangerously. ‘You will not say such things about my Chosen. Why would you say such a thing?’
'Well he does. You can't tell me you haven't thought about corrupting his innocence,' Ryo retorted with a soft smirk while crossing his arms. He had always enjoyed teasing Kazuya.
‘I like his innocence, thank you very much.’ Kazuya sighed while rolling his eyes. He’d forgotten how much Ryo tended to tease and he always had a strange sense of humor. ‘Where have you been, anyway? I haven’t seen you for many years.’
'Thailand,' Ryo replied with a smile. 'I made two Childe there. They're sweet...innocent. They're very affectionate brothers,' he explained.
That had Kazuya surprised. ‘Two brothers? Tell me about it.’ What could have made Ryo do something like that? He was always a bit wary when it came to making those of their kind.
'They were orphaned and I had just woken from a long sleep so I was still weak. They took care of me and I made sure that they were taken care of as well. Then one day, the younger of the two saved his brother, but they were both dying, so I turned them so that they would stay with me. I can get them to come up if you'd like to meet them,' Ryo explained and watched as Tatsuya laid his head on Kazuya's lap.
‘I would love to meet them.’ Having Tatsuya join their family had seemed amazing and now there were two more? ‘They are more than welcome! Especially for taking care of you when you needed it. I do wish you had tried to call me. I would have come to you as soon as possible.’
'You know I like to do things on my own,' Ryo responded stubbornly before standing and making his way to the door. "I'll be back," he said before departing to go and get his two Childe.
"Where is he going?" Tatsuya asked while crawling into Kazuya's lap again and rubbing his nose with Kazuya's in an Eskimo kiss.
Smiling at his lover, Kazuya returned the Eskimo kiss. “Apparently while he was away, he sired two Childe and he’s going to bring them here. Two Thai brothers.”
Tatsuya smiled before peering up at the knock on the door. "This should be interesting," he remarked before walking up to the door and letting the three males inside.
Ryo led Pichaya and Pirath inside while smiling at them invitingly. "Don't worry. They don't bite...hard."
“Than it should be.” Kazuya watched the door open and Ryo and the two new vampires entered after his Childe.
Biting his lip, the youngest of the brothers moved closer to his brother and Ryo, his eyes wide. “They…they bite?”
“Not us, Pirath,” the elder brother reassured his brother while petting his hair lightly.
"Aw, they're adorable," Tatsuya complimented while smiling at the two boys and stepped close before backing off as Ryo gave a low, protective growl.
Kazuya couldn’t help but laugh. He remembered feeling the same way about Ryo and Tatsuya. “Now, Ryo-chan. It’s all right. We’re all family now, ne?” He bowed formally to the two Thai brothers. “Konbanwa. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Kazuya and this is my Chosen, Tatsuya.”
The elder brother nodded while brushing a lock of dark hair from his face. “I’m Pichaya and this is my brother, Pirath.”
Tatsuya smiled. "Nice to meet you," he greeted them with a smile before moving back to his spot by Kazuya and cuddling him while sucking his neck playfully and lovingly.
Ryo rolled his eyes then sat down while looking at the two young males. "You can sit down. They do that attached at the hip. God you two are worse than Tomo and Jin," he remarked with a sigh. “And you're not being very good entertainers."
“Since when do I need to entertain?” Kazuya smirked then winked at the two boys. “So, how does he treat you boys?”
“Very good, ne! Naai is always there for us!” the younger boy, Pirath, answered excitedly. Now that he was sure they wouldn’t be eaten, he felt much more energetic. These were people that were close to their master after all.
"God, am I that cute?" Tatsuya asked while peering at Kazuya with a curious head tilt and eyes shining. He sat down on the couch and tugged Kazuya next to him while peering at Ryo and making a motion for the two boys to sit.
Kazuya’s lips twitched and he winked at his lover. “Feeling threatened by the double dose of cute are we, lover?”
A mischievous glint entered Pichaya’s eyes as he looked at them. ”So…is it true that vampires have orgies every night?”
Tatsuya choked while looking at Ryo in shock. "What have you been teaching them!?" he cried while blinking and looked at Kazuya. "Is there something I don't know?"
Ryo laughed. "You mean to tell me you two don't spend all day entangled in bed?" He smirked when Tatsuya went red and opened his mouth to retort before burying his face in Kazuya's chest.
Snickering, Kazuya patted Tatsuya on the head. “I see that they’ve inherited your sick humor, Ryo. Congratulations.”
“You mean it’s not true?! Damn.” Pichaya pouted before grinning when his brother poked him in the side. Pirath blushed and grumbled something about his brother trying to embarrass him to death.
Ryo grinned. "Like Sire like Childe. I'm shocked yours is as innocent as he is," he retorted with a small grin, embarrassing Tatsuya further. "It's like he's still a virgin, honestly..."
“Nothing wrong with that. And just what have you been teaching these boys?” Kazuya asked before mentally prodding his Childe.
"What they need to know to be grown up. What they need to know to be who they are," Ryo answered with a smile. 'They're not very innocent. Twenty years turned already and the things they've done with each other...they don't know I know everything. But I know what they do when they're alone in bed,' he whispered mentally, lips curving in a sexy, devilish smirk.
Kazuya arched an eyebrow at Ryo’s mental comment. Really now? Well, wasn’t this interesting. ‘And I suppose this is why you went to Thailand?’ His own naughty smirk fell across his features as he gave his Childe the once over. ‘You can’t tell me that you don’t enjoy it. Or do you participate with them, Ryo?’
'I never said I didn't,’ Ryo murmured. 'Thailand is nice as well, but they gave me all the more reason to visit,' he added with a fond look at them. 'I care for them,' he stated simply. 'And they care for me.'
‘No, they love you,’ Kazuya corrected while watching Pirath and Pichaya each take a seat on either side of Ryo. They held onto the older vampire as if it were the most natural thing in the world. ‘I can see it in them even now. They would die for you. You inspire such devotion in them, yet you’re not satisfied. What is it you’re searching for?’
'I love them too. I would die for them,' Ryo told Kazuya as he put an arm around each of the younger vampires. 'But...is it possible for someone, for us, to split themselves or their love between three people?'
The brothers curled up next to Ryo, each resting their head on his chest. Kazuya smiled. They looked good together and he knew that Ryo’s words were true. ‘Who’s to say that it isn’t? Such things occur in the human world often enough, why not ours? When you are with them, how do you feel?’
'Like everything makes sense. Like...like everything goes away and it's just us,' Ryo answered easily with a hesitant smile. He rested his head on top of Pichaya's while his hand stroked Pirath's hair. 'Like everything clicks.' He smiled wider as his eyes fell shut momentarily. 'You tell anyone I'm this soft and I'll kill you.'
Snorting, Kazuya rolled his eyes at his Childe. ‘Hard to kill me when I’m dead already.’ He grew serious suddenly and nodded with a soft sigh. ‘It feels like you’re incomplete without them near you and that time stops when you are parted. Death would be preferable to being parted from them and life has meaning for you when they’re with you.’
'You know the feeling?' Ryo questioned while looking at Kazuya curiously and smiling as Tatsuya curled against Kazuya and promptly fell asleep. 'When they hurt, I hurt. When they're sad, I'm sad. We share everything,' he explained while pulling a blanket over Pirath's body, knowing the other was cold. He rubbed an arm down his side to warm him but soon returned to stroking his hair.
Placing a hand on Tatsuya’s head, Kazuya smiled. ‘I know exactly how you feel. What you feel, Ryo, is the bond of a Chosen.’ He looked at the two Thai boys, the youngest curled up next to Ryo, asleep. The elder brother looked content where he was, not willing to move from his place next to Ryo.
Ryo smiled softly before kissing the sleeping boy on the top of his head and doing the same to the elder brother. He looked at Kazuya with his head resting on Pichiya's as his eyes shone with happiness no words could describe. He shut them after a moment. ‘I'm glad I came back and found you. I missed you and your guidance,' he admitted before raising his head at a knock on the door. 'Tomohisa?' he guessed, not wanting to move from his spot. 'Not like either one of us can move...'
‘That’s when telepathy comes in handy.’ Kazuya smirked, his eyes on the door. It slowly opened revealing his sire and best friend. “It took you long enough to show up.”
“We were busy.” Tomohisa stepped inside followed by his lover. Closing the door behind him, he couldn’t suppress a grin. ”It’s good to see you again, Ryo-chan. I see you’ve brought company.”
Pichaya stiffened at the sight of the newcomers and his hand gripped Ryo’s protectively while his eyes narrowed as if the two were a possible threat to his master.
Ryo pressed a kiss to the top of Pichaya's head again before nuzzling his neck softly. "They're family, koo rak[1]," he murmured reassuringly. "They won't hurt us," he promised before looking at Tomohisa and nodded his head in greeting. "Good to see you too, Tomo-kun."
"Who are the two little ones?" Jin asked curiously as he pulled a chair over from the kitchen and straddled it while peering at the two that were practically wrapped around Ryo's body.
"The sleeping one is Pirath and the one who's glaring at you is Pichaya," Ryo answered while rubbing the elder brother's back soothingly. "They took care of me when I was in Thailand and when they needed me, I took care of them," he explained simply, not wanting to get into a long story.
“Well, it seems our family keeps getting bigger and bigger.” Tomohisa took a seat in one of the chairs and made sure to keep a safe distance from Ryo. His lips twitched as Pichaya’s eyes followed him. “Your young pup is cute. Don’t worry, young one. We’re all family.”
Pichaya subsided while laying his head against Ryo’s chest as he watched the newcomers. Ryo said they were okay but he was still wary.
"You should see what happens when someone isn't nice to me," Ryo remarked with a soft laugh as he rubbed the back of Pichaya's neck and soothed him, coaxing him to calm down and purr. It always made him smile when they purred. They were already so kittenish.
Jin rolled his eyes. It was just like Ryo to do something crazy like turn two brothers. But he could see their bond and it was nice seeing Ryo so happy.
The petting did the trick and Pichaya calmed down. Closing his eyes, he leaned into Ryo while purring lowly along with his brother.
Tomohisa tried not to laugh. It was so cute and their bond was strong. It was extremely unusual. It was obvious to him that Ryo had found his Chosen. Yet…it wasn’t just one, but both of them. This was unprecedented as far as he knew. “Well, it seems we have a bit to talk about. We actually came over to speak with Kazuya and Tatsuya about it, but you’ll need to know about this as well, Ryo.”
"Mm?" Ryo murmured while peering at Tomo curiously through half-lidded eyes, feeling sleepy. "Do we have to talk now?" he asked as he yawned. Moving to wake Pirath so he could pay attention, he pet Pirath’s hair and whispering to him to wake up.
Wow, Ryo was cute. Jin smiled. The three of them were adorable together. He watched as the younger one woke slowly while curling into his maker as he clung to the last few moments of sleep.
Tatsuya stretched slowly and yawned as he woke leisurely before peering around and rubbing his eyes. "Mm...what did I miss?" he asked as he yawned and curled close to Kazuya with a sleepy smile.
Pouting, Pirath mumbled something in Thai before sitting up groggily and leaning against Ryo. He stiffened at the sight of the newcomers, but settled when he looked at his brother. The two seemed to have a silent communication that seemed to soothe Pirath.
“Well, it would seem you both have found your Chosen. Though I must say, a three member Chosen bond isn’t something I’d ever expected to see.” Tomohisa tapped his chin then shrugged. “We’ll see how it goes. Having a Chosen, however, isn’t just finding the other person. You need to perform the bonding ceremony in order for the bond to take and become unbreakable.”
"There's a bonding ceremony?" Tatsuya asked curiously while stretching slowly as he peered towards the eldest of them, then looked at Kazuya after looking at the three on the opposite couch. "They're each other's Chosen, but there's three of them."
Ryo licked his lips while watching the other vampires. "What do we have to do?" he asked while petting Pirath's hair.
“I have to admit, Tatsuya, I’ve never heard of it before myself.” Tomohisa eyed Ryo and the two Thai boys. “It’s unprecedented, yet I know a Chosen pair when I see one.”
Kazuya wrapped his arm around Tatsuya, frowning slightly. “Isn’t there a ceremony we have to do or something?”
“Yes,” Tomohisa began. “It involves taking both of your blood and mixing it together then drinking it. Once you’ve done so, you then need to utter an incantation and the bond will form between you. The only thing that will break this bond is death.”
Ryo nodded in understanding before looking at Pirath and unwinding his arms from around the younger male's neck before raising his wrist to his lips and biting down. Drawing blood forth, he extended his arm to the younger male, knowing he needed to feed.
Tatsuya licked his lips at the smell of blood but kept himself in check while nuzzling Kazuya's neck. He was intrigued that Ryo knew Pirath was hungry and how to remedy the situation.
Kazuya smiled at the display between Ryo and Pirath. It was obvious that they’d been together as vampires for quite awhile. Not only that, but the brothers must really trust and care for Ryo.
Pirath blinked then smiled gratefully up at Ryo before taking Ryo’s wrist in his hands and sucking on the blood that poured from the wound. After a moment he pulled back, licking his lips. He gave a sweet smile in thanks, purring slightly.
“Yes, well.” Tomohisa shook his head. They were too cute. “Back to the matter at hand. In order for your bonds to become stronger, we’ll need to perform this ceremony soon.”
Tatsuya laughed softly as Pichaya pouted when his brother was fed but not him before Ryo did the same for the elder brother. He looked at Tomohisa. "Well do we have to do it in a special spot? And how soon?"
Jin nodded. "The sooner the better. We have to go to Kyoto. That's where Ryo and Kazuya were both turned," he explained, licking his lips before looking at Ryo. "Do you have any idea how cute you are?"
Ryo rolled his eyes at Jin's words. "I can still be a cold hearted bastard," he retorted before slowly drawing his wrist away from Pichaya with a sigh and a soft shudder. Watching as the wound healed before his eyes, he looked at the others. "Can we do it in the next few days?"
“I don’t see why not,” Tomohisa said and laughed when Pichaya pouted when Ryo’s arm was taken away. Young ones were so cute. It was adorable how Ryo acted with the two brothers. He decided that they were really good for him after all.
“Jin’s right though. Stop being so cute, Ryo-chan.” Kazuya couldn’t help but tease.
Ryo rolled his eyes and smiled. "You like it," he retorted with a grin before yawning. "We should head to bed. We'll pack when we wake and perhaps we can head to Kyoto tomorrow and finish everything within the next few days," he suggested with a smile. He was eager to be bonded to his two little lovers forever as soon as possible.
Tatsuya nodded in agreement, wanting to be bonded to Kazuya as soon as he could. Smiling softly, he cuddled up to his lover once again.
“All right. We’ll meet up here tomorrow night.” Tomohisa stood and tugged his lover up as well. “We’ll meet here then.”
“Sounds good. Don’t be late.” Kazuya winked, then snickered when Pirath jumped to his feet and started to tug Pichaya and Ryo towards the door.
Tatsuya waved to them as they departed before laying his head in Kazuya's lap. "Everything is changing," he remarked with a soft sigh and smiled at his lover. "Those three are cute."
