"I think the safest option now would be for you to change him as soon as possible…” Jun told him as he walked into the dark kitchen, all of the windows blacked out to prevent the deadly sun from finding its way into the room and hurting them. For some reason Ohno had been expecting that and he made no reaction just stared at his oldest friend slowly and calculatingly “It would be risky for you to do it now that he is so weak but when he has recovered enough strength…”
“He could still die…From the change…”
“Indeed he could but he will die if you let him stay as human…He will recover and you will have sex again and before you know it you’re in the middle of your bed with a little dead human…” Jun said painting such a vivid image in his mind that Ohno’s legs almost trembled. He knew that the lust he had when sleeping with his lover was dangerous, more than once over the last week he had almost taken too much of the sweet blood that always tasted better when they were making love “…If you change him…There is a chance that he will live and be healthy as a vampire…I’m sorry my friend but the only other option is for you to send him away…”
“I…I can’t do that...” Ohno sighed rubbing at his temples trying to soothe away the stress that was building. Earlier it had just been the market that had been causing him stress but now the rose tinted bubble at burst and it seemed that no matter what he did he was going to risk Nino’s life. He could send him away, let him live with his sister and Isabella. The female elite hadn’t suggested such a thing but it had been implied that Karin wouldn’t mind her brother being with her. Ohno could allow that though, even if it was for his safety Nino wouldn’t agree to such a thing, he already seemed terrified that he was going to be cast aside like a dirty rag and he would not do that to him. “But you know how dangerous it is…That’s why you haven’t risked changing Masaki…”
“I will...Next year on the day of your eight year anniversary…” Jun hummed rubbing on his chin and staring out at the heavy black blind that was protecting them from the sun and Ohno managed to pull a smile onto his lips humming;
“So romantic…”
“It’s not about romance, it’s about making sure that he will survive the change…” Jun denied flatly but the shifty look that came to his eyes told Ohno clearly that there was some romance to his friends plan “…I have calculated everything but…”
“You are still worried...”
“Of course, I love him…” Jun shrugged “I would be a fool not to be worried…”
“Masaki is healthy…And strong…Whereas even if he recovers from this, Nino…”
“Is stronger than you think…He survived being taken at ten…He managed to find his way here to you…And I have every confidence that he will survive the change…” Jun told him in the same business like tone that he had been using for most of their conversation but it slipped away as he gave him a understanding and gentle smile his hand coming to rest on his shoulder “But the choice is yours my friend, I thought that I should inform you of the best option…Things are tough when we fall for humans Satoshi…”
“Would you change it…If you could…Would you change being with Masaki?” Ohno asked with a grin already knowing his friends answer because it was the same as his own. The little human may have caused him more problems than anything else in his long life but nothing would induce him to change it.
“No…Never…” Jun denied a fond and happy look of remembrance coming to his dark eyes “Oh he’s an idiot that often infuriates me but I have loved him ever since I heard that breathy laugh…I wouldn’t replace that with anything else…Talk to your little human, give him the option of the change and allow him to make up his own mind…While I claim your spare bed…”
“Feel free” Ohno smiled waving his hand in the direction of his spare bedroom “Thank-you…”
“Any time…” Jun took a bow and then left the kitchen leaving Ohno to stare at the single cup and plate that was in the draining board for a few minutes gathering his thoughts and trying to work out how Nino would respond to the idea of making him a vampire. If he was one of the sheep that most vampires kept around then he was sure that he would be delighted to be turned but…It was an intimate thing, a bound was formed between the vampire and the one turned meaning that it would be impossible for them to ever separate. Nino might like having that reassurance but he had been brought up to feel as much worth as the cup that was draining on the sink, he judged himself only by what he could do for Ohno and as a vampire he would not be able to do anything but be himself.
“My little Nino…” Ohno mumbled to himself letting out a needless sigh before turning on his heel and heading down the corridor to the master bedroom. Nino was sat up against the pillows his games machine in his hands but not switched on as fat ugly tears rolled down his face causing him to look more vulnerable than ever and quickly Ohno moved over the room and held him into his body growling at the way his body was burning and humming with pain. “My little love…”
“Everything…Feels weird…” Nino moaned his body twisting into his, his arms coming to wrap tightly around his waist. “…Hurts…”
“I know…I’m sorry, you’ll feel better soon…” Ohno murmured though he didn’t know if that was true or not, he had no idea how long this fever would take to get over “…Kazu…When you feel better again…”
“I can feed you…I promise…” Nino hummed sleepily his tears stopping now that he was so close and Ohno tensed just a fraction at that his hands moving up and down his lover’s back gently as he deciding to ignore that statement completely and tried again;
“…When you feel better…I want to change you…”
“Change me? In to what?”
“A vampire, my little love…” Ohno whispered almost chuckling at the confused groggy question doubting that this was the best time to talk to Nino about this, even if he did seem more alert now “I want to change you into a vampire…”
“I won’t be able to feed you…”
“No…But you won’t be able to leave me either…” Ohno hummed wondering what the best way to explain it would be “Haven’t you ever wondered why they’re not that many vampires around? It’s because…For us to change you I have to trust you completely because when an elite vampire changes a human, it creates a bond with them, a bond that can never be broken…If that bond is broken then there is a strong possibility that I will die…”
“Die?” Nino gasped pulling up from his body enough to stare down at him with a mix of horror and shock on his face and Ohno nodded reaching out to touch the flushed cheek with his fingertips.
“Yes…I told you the bond is very strong…But I trust you Kazu, I know that you would never break the bond…” Ohno whispered caressing the little cheek which was almost as smooth as his own but without the coldness and he wondered what it would be like to touch him when he was another vampire, without having to hold back his desires “…But there is another possibility…The change might be too much for your body to handle and if that is the case it could kill you…I…I believe that you are strong enough to survive Kazu…But the final choice is yours…”
