Comments: Finally got the story organised! Yay! I usually don't write stories in outlines or plan them or anything, but this one needed it bad. So hopefully it'll be a little less confusing from now on :) And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! It might just help me out of a rut...
Please enjoy this next chapter! ^^
P.S. Sorry for the wait! I'll try to have the next one up in at least a week!
Reita sat back in the couch and lit a cigarette, tossing the lighter onto a cushion. He knew he shouldn't be smoking in the practise room; but hell, he was the only one here and he was using an ashtray, what harm could it do? Sighing, he let his eyes scan the room, falling across the unused guitars and drum set, looking somehow duller, like a bad omen. Or maybe they were just dusty already. His own bass rest in its stand, seeming a little less dull than the other instruments, but as he stared at it, it slowly lost its lustre and seemed to glower back at him. Starting a little, Reita realised the cigarette in his hand was past its usefulness, and he stubbed it out in the tray and stared back around the room for a moment before getting up dejectedly and walking out.
Across the city, Yu~ki was dressing himself for the day, his book open to its newest page as he scanned it. A low hum reverberated off his lips, and he was absolutely oblivious to the fact that he was being watched. Two sets of eyes were examining him, head to toe, one with absolute, vicious spite and the other with almost malicious mischief. After a moment, the one in the room with him shifted, and he started, turning instantly. But by the time he'd reacted the man was already across the room, and when he turned back grabbed him roughly and kissed him hard on the mouth. The kiss was broken swiftly, and Shinya smirked at him playfully. Yu~ki merely stared back, stunned and not sure what to think. The smile fell quickly from Shinya's face, to be replaced by a sensual pout, and his eyes flicked down to Yu~ki's neck.
"How's this?" Shinya purred, one hand brushing up from Yu~ki's shoulder to his neck, fingers dragging lightly against the warm skin there. Yu~ki trembled, a surprised but very pleased moan escaping his lips. Shinya's eyes shot up and he smiled again for a moment, before pressing himself flush against Yu~ki and letting his hands fall onto the man's hips. Yu~ki's own arms encircled him, nails scraping gently against his back, sliding down to the hem of his shirt only to rake back up his heated skin. Shinya lay his chin on Yu~ki's shoulder, his cold breath ghosting across the skin of his neck, and Yu~ki bared himself just slightly.
"Shinya...what's come over you?" Yu~ki breathed, confused but not objecting. Shinya chuckled quietly against his shoulder.
"I'm practising," he explained, his lips brushing against Yu~ki's still-exposed shoulder, making him tremble. Shinya's hands came up and made quick work of the few buttons Yu~ki had managed to fasten on his shirt before hearing him, and he pressed his palms gently against his toned stomach. “So, how am I doing?” he asked, pulling back to glance at Yu~ki through his lashes. Yu~ki smiled.
“Fantastic,” he practically groaned as Shinya’s hands slid up against his chest and over his taut nipples. Shinya leaned back down and began to suckle his shoulder gently, teasing his nipples with his fingers, and Yu~ki’s head fell back. "Mmn...Yes, very good..." he praised, and Shinya smiled against his skin. Suddenly he sank his teeth into the man's shoulder, and Yu~ki gasped loudly, his fingernails digging sharply into the skin of Shinya's back. He winced as Shinya withdrew, and shuddered when Shinya's lips pressed against the wound, his tongue running over the pinpricks there slowly. Shinya brought one hand up to the nape of Yu~ki's neck, and began to kiss his way slowly up the curve of his shoulder to his neck, where his pulse was racing under his hot skin. Yu~ki moaned loudly, pressing Shinya closer to him. After a moment Shinya brought his lips up and kissed the spot behind Yu~ki's ear.
"I want you inside me when I bite you," he breathed, letting his fingers trail playfully across one side of Yu~ki's neck. Yu~ki's mouth was dry, and he merely nodded, deciding to give in to him - just this once. Outside, the man in the tattered jeans and filthy leather jacket spat on the ground and made a face.
"Fucking horny bastard," he mumbled to himself. A cat mewled from somewhere, making him start and cringe almost painfully. His hands curled into fists in his pockets, his teeth clenching. Small streaks of red tears immediately leaked out of his eyes and chased each other down his face, and he shook his head abruptly. Opening his eyes, he looked in the direction of the mewl, a predatory look having crawled onto his face and taken it over like a mask. It faded slowly, however, and the man fell to his knees. He collapsed, sobbing, onto the ground outside the building, hugging himself and crying desperately. The pain in his gut was overwhelming, and he had to fight it with his whole strength. His frame was wracked with sobs, and he gasped for breath, trying hard to control himself. The only reassurance he had was that he was still able to think, still able to even try to fight it. Because he knew, one day, he wouldn't even get that far anymore.
Instead of going home, Reita had gone straight to Ruki's apartment, as he'd been doing for what seemed like an eternity. It wasn't like he expected Ruki to come home while he was there; he mostly just did it so that he could comfort himself with the fact that he'd tried. Boredly, he tapped a cigarette in and out of its almost empty pack, watching it halfheartedly as it poked itself out and then hid again. The sun was beginning to set, and the breeze that had been blowing all day picked up a little, blowing dust from the hallway toward him. The rustle of leaves masked the footsteps of the man walking toward him, and he started at his voice.
"I'm sorry, is Ruki not at home?" Reita nearly fell from surprise, and gazed wide-eyed up at the man. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his dark hair fell into his face a little, across his eyes. But the little bit that Reita could see made him speechless. He looked down at Reita, and as their eyes met Reita fellt a wave of cold go through his whole body, making him shiver. After a moment, he shook his head dumbly. The man's eyebrows met for a moment, but then he shook his head and sighed, and his expression relaxed. "Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Yu~ki," he said, bowing, and Reita bowed a little back, chastising himself and regaining control of his body. He slipped the cigarettes back into a pocket and cleared his throat.
"Reita," he said, bowing again. "Yoroshiku." Yu~ki's face lit up instantly, and his lips curved into a smile.
"Ah, I should have recognised you! You really do wear that nose covering everywhere, don't you?" he asked, tipping his head a little. Reita merely nodded, smiling back nervously and letting his gaze fall onto the man's feet. He hadn't been this intrigued by a guy since the day he met Uruha. Which was not something he wanted to come up at that very moment, as it wouldn't help his constitution in the slightest. Quickly, he banished the thought from his mind and made a noise in the back of his throat.
"It's getting late. I should go," he said. Bowing a little again, he began to walk off. "Good to meet you, Yu~ki-san," he called back, beginning to jog. Behind him, Yu~ki pursed his lips. It was certain he made the man nervous, but he was beginning to think this one would be quite a bit of trouble. Suddenly Yu~ki started, hearing a distant, careful footstep, and turned just a little to catch movement out of the corner of his eye. He disappeared and reappeared instantly in the exact place the noise had come from, but there was no sign of anyone. Hesitantly, he turned back and began to walk after Reita.
Behind a far off tree, Ruki was gritting his teeth again, his sharp fingernails digging into his palms and drawing blood. He was not about to let that monster get to Reita. Just let him think about it, and he'll be dead! Ruki's eyes snapped open, and then he was gone.
Yu~ki caught up to Reita on the subway, boarding an adjacent car so as to not be seen. He followed Reita across the city and to his own home, and waited outside as the man prepared to go out again. It was awkward for him to stand waiting like this, staring up at the man's window and catching quick glimpses of him as he wandered about. He changed, played with his hair, and then got everything he needed to leave. Yu~ki decided against overtly following him, and instead waited outside in the shadows as Reita came down. His cell phone was in his hand; he was texting someone, and then dialled a number. Yu~ki followed him down his street, having to stride as he walked fairly fast.
"Mm, moshi-moshi," he said into the phone. "Are we still on for tonight?" He paused, nodding and assenting in intervals, and then beamed. "Of course. I'm on my way now. See you there!" Yu~ki stopped a ways back as Reita ducked into a club, and waited a moment before approaching the place. Does everyone go to clubs these days? he thought to himself, eyeing the place with masked disgust. What about coffee houses, or book stores, or theatres? Yu~ki shook his head with a sigh, deciding against going in. He was meeting someone, and it would be much more difficult to get him away from someone than to catch him alone as he left - if he even left alone. At least it was still early, so he had time to stay and find out. Drawing his long coat around him, he settled himself in an alley and waited.
He didn't have to wait long, however, although the intrusion was certainly not what he had been expecting. The sound of clicking heels awakened him from a trance, and he peered out toward the street warily. What he saw there shocked him. A beautiful, thin young man in elegant leather drag, pacing back and forth slowly in front of the club. But not just any man - as fate would have it, this was Yu~ki's chosen young lover of the century. Yu~ki smiled to himself, and wondered what Shinya was doing hunting outside of what was definitely not a gay bar. As he stood to approach him, however, he heard a familiar voice, and stopped in his tracks.
"Fucking bitch...she really did leave without me!" Shinya made a hairpin turn and ran straight into Reita, who was leaving the place in a very bad mood. Reita paused for a moment to look him over before apologising and hurrying off, and Yu~ki rose instantly to go after him. But Shinya's hand on his wrist stopped him, and he turned sharply, glaring. Shinya smiled up at him, his eyes narrowed.
"Hello, Yu~ki," he purred, stepping toward him. "Did you lose something?" Yu~ki growled quietly, but Shinya continued to move closer, pressing his palms against Yu~ki's chest and gazing up at him through his eyelashes. He sucked his lower lip into his mouth and caught it with his fangs, smiling still. "He's straight, you know. You'll never seduce him."
"Do you have a point?" Yu~ki growled. Shinya chuckled and brought his lips to Yu~ki's jaw.
"Well...you saw the way he look at me, didn't you? He thought I was a woman." Yu~ki nodded, clenching his teeth against the pleasure rising in his gut. "He seemed very flustered, so I'm sure he'd go for me. If I could get to him first..." Shinya's lips pulled back and he brushed his fangs just barely against Yu~ki's neck, making him tense up for a moment. "You could go in for the kill," he finished, pressing his lips against the spot, and Yu~ki relaxed. Unfortunately, the young drummer had a point. While Yu~ki might have been able to force himself onto Reita carefully, Shinya most certainly had the advantage here. But there was no way Yu~ki was going to let him do the job. Then again, he said he was willing to yield to Yu~ki. With a defeated sigh, Yu~ki nodded once more, and grasped Shinya by his shoulders to push him away. Shinya pouted up at him, the smile still fleeting on his lips, and then suddenly they disappeared and reappeared steps behind Reita. Ruki, who had been following Reita, cursed and bolted to the other side of the street to disappear into the shadows. Yu~ki let go of Shinya and fell back, hiding himself as the click of Shinya's heels called Reita's attention. The bassist glanced over his shoulder, and then did a double-take, slowing some as he watched Shinya approach.
"Hi, honey," Shinya said, softly and in a surprisingly feminine voice. Yu~ki made a mental note to ask for that voice sometime. "You look lonely..." All three men caught their breath, surprised at how well Shinya played hooker. The lithe little drummer stepped up to Reita, eyeing him seductively, and put one hand on his hip. Reita stopped, mesmerised, and as Shinya's eyes met his he shivered. "Don't be shy," Shinya insisted, stepping closer to Reita and backing him up against the nearest building. They were a little ways out, and the street was entirely empty, so no one but the vampires saw as Shinya traced one finger down Reita's chest. Reita's breath became uneven, and he began to tremble just slightly. Shinya smiled at him, that pouty smile Yu~ki always gave in to, and brought his face up to Reita's. "You're too damned beautiful to let run off..." Shinya breathed, and pressing his hand against Reita's chest he touched their lips together gently. Before Reita could think, his vision blacked out and he was suddenly paralysed. Confused and frightened, he tried to struggle, and heard Shinya's voice against his ear. "Shh...relax, beautiful, it hurts less that way..." Instantly a pressure was pressed against his neck, and Reita tried to scream, tried to struggle but found he was totally helpless. A wave of pleasure shot through his body, replacing the sudden pain, and he whimpered audibly. A soft chuckle broke against the skin of his neck, bringing back the fear, as another wave of indescribable ecstasy ripped through his body. He swore he could hear Ruki's voice in his mind as he began to lose consciousness. He was crying, begging for mercy though weakly, and Reita tried to call back to him, tried so hard to find him. But everything was dark, and cold, and suddenly there was simply nothing.
Shinya stood back and watched as Yu~ki led Reita slowly to the ground, cradling him in his arms and groaning rhythmically as he drank from him. A violent tremor ran through his body as he withdrew, and Shinya heard Reita stop breathing. Quickly, Yu~ki sank his fangs into his own wrist and twisted them, opening a large enugh wound to pour a steady stream of blood into Reita's mouth. Shinya scoffed softly, a little surprised. So it really is that simple... he thought, holding back a smile. How 'Interview With the Vampire'. He crossed his arms over his chest nervously, finding himself somewhat turned on by the scene in front of him. Suddenly there was a shuffling noise from the other side of the street, which went totally unnoticed by the preoccupied Yu~ki. Shinya eyed the shadows across the street warily, but saw nothing, and was brought back to himself as he heard Yu~ki's breath catch in his throat painfully. Shinya watched at Reita's eyes shot open and his teeth clamped down on Yu~ki's wrist. He brought his hand up and latched onto Yu~ki's arm with his nails, sucking hard at his torn skin. Yu~ki clenched his jaw and sat still, letting Reita drink from him. All of Reita's movements now were eerily mechanical, and Shinya shivered, holding himself a little tighter. Suddenly Yu~ki twisted his arm away from Reita, and the bassist merely sat there, his eyes wide and staring. The colour that had drained from him slowly returned, and he took one deep breath, his eyes fluttering closed, before he collapsed against the wall of the building. Yu~ki cringed as he wrapped one hand around his wrist, pressing the wound to stem the bleeding, and slowly looked up at Shinya. There was pain in his eyes, and though he looked exhausted and was the same almost grey colour Shinya was used to seeing on him when he came home, he stood carefully and looked down at the seemingly sleeping body. Though curious, Shinya stayed silent, almost afraid to ask anything at that moment. But Yu~ki seemed to read his mind when he spoke.
"His body is being infected with the vampire disease," Yu~ki explained, eyeing Reita. "It will take some time, but it varies how long. I should take him back to his house, so he'll be comfortable." Shinya merely nodded, unable to wrench his eyes away from Reita. There were dark stains on his nose bandanna, and his mouth hung open, revealing the glint of what must have been growing fangs. Blood seeped slowly out of the corners of his mouth, reminding Shinya of Kyo after a show. It was almost as freakish as his strange movements earlier, and Shinya shuddered again. After a long moment, Yu~ki bent down and scooped Reita into his arms, then turning to Shinya nodded a little.
"You should go home, too. I'll be there in a short while." Shinya bowed his head a little in response, then disappeared. In a moment, Yu~ki too was gone. Across the street, there was a sudden loud crash followed by the howl of a cat. Ruki, his eyes wide and his fangs bared, stumbled out of the shadows and fell onto the ground, clutching himself. He, too, had been paralysed, and was unable to do anything but watch as one of his closest friends was taken by the same daemon who damned him. The familiar hunger pains wrenched at his gut, making him twitch violently. Tears seeped out of his eyes, splashing onto the cement as he seized, getting even more dirty than he was before. The cat that had howled and run in fear peered around the corner at him, and he reached out for it, growling bestially. The cat hissed at him and ran off, and he cried out as another pain hit him. Gasping for breath, he commanded control of his body, and slowly came back to himself. But the tears wouldn't stop this time, and a new pain had begun to form in his heart, one that would harden him forever and make him into something completely new.
At Yu~ki's house, Shinya appeared in the entryway and unzipped his boots quickly, striding off into his bedroom and falling onto his bed. Now he knew how it was done. He had seen it with his own eyes. But it was Yu~ki who did it. He lifted his arm slowly, turning his wrist in the light from the window. Could he even do it, since he was such a newly made vampire? Then again, Yu~ki was young once, too. And he couldn't have waited that long to do it, right? Whatever the case...it was Shinya's last resort. Something had begun to break in him, something deep inside that clutched at him and refused to let go. He craved Yu~ki's interest, Yu~ki's sole attention, and he would do anything - even risk his own life - to get that. So if it had come to this, he couldn't sit wondering anymore. It was time he took matters into his own hands. Soon, very soon, he would find out just what his new body was capable of.

Yu~ki growled quietly, but Shinya continued to move closer, pressing his palms against Yu~ki's chest and gazing up at him through his eyelashes. He sucked his lower lip into his mouth and caught it with his fangs, smiling still. "He's straight, you know. You'll never seduce him."
"Do you have a point?" Yu~ki growled. Shinya chuckled and brought his lips to Yu~ki's jaw.
"Well...you saw the way he look at me, didn't you? He thought I was a woman." Yu~ki nodded, clenching his teeth against the pleasure rising in his gut. "He seemed very flustered, so I'm sure he'd go for me. If I could get to him first..." Shinya's lips pulled back and he brushed his fangs just barely against Yu~ki's neck, making him tense up for a moment. "You could go in for the kill," he finished, pressing his lips against the spot, and Yu~ki relaxed. Unfortunately, the young drummer had a point. While Yu~ki might have been able to force himself onto Reita carefully, Shinya most certainly had the advantage here. But there was no way Yu~ki was going to let him do the job. Then again, he said he was willing to yield to Yu~ki. With a defeated sigh, Yu~ki nodded once more, and grasped Shinya by his shoulders to push him away. Shinya pouted up at him, the smile still fleeting on his lips, and then suddenly they disappeared and reappeared steps behind Reita. Ruki, who had been following Reita, cursed and bolted to the other side of the street to disappear into the shadows. Yu~ki let go of Shinya and fell back, hiding himself as the click of Shinya's heels called Reita's attention. The bassist glanced over his shoulder, and then did a double-take, slowing some as he watched Shinya approach.
"Hi, honey," Shinya said, softly and in a surprisingly feminine voice. Yu~ki made a mental note to ask for that voice sometime. "You look lonely..." All three men caught their breath, surprised at how well Shinya played hooker. The lithe little drummer stepped up to Reita, eyeing him seductively, and put one hand on his hip. Reita stopped, mesmerised, and as Shinya's eyes met his he shivered. "Don't be shy," Shinya insisted, stepping closer to Reita and backing him up against the nearest building. They were a little ways out, and the street was entirely empty, so no one but the vampires saw as Shinya traced one finger down Reita's chest. Reita's breath became uneven, and he began to tremble just slightly. Shinya smiled at him, that pouty smile Yu~ki always gave in to, and brought his face up to Reita's. "You're too damned beautiful to let run off..." Shinya breathed, and pressing his hand against Reita's chest he touched their lips together gently. Before Reita could think, his vision blacked out and he was suddenly paralysed. Confused and frightened, he tried to struggle, and heard Shinya's voice against his ear. "Shh...relax, beautiful, it hurts less that way..." Instantly a pressure was pressed against his neck, and Reita tried to scream, tried to struggle but found he was totally helpless. A wave of pleasure shot through his body, replacing the sudden pain, and he whimpered audibly. A soft chuckle broke against the skin of his neck, bringing back the fear, as another wave of indescribable ecstasy ripped through his body. He swore he could hear Ruki's voice in his mind as he began to lose consciousness. He was crying, begging for mercy though weakly, and Reita tried to call back to him, tried so hard to find him. But everything was dark, and cold, and suddenly there was simply nothing.
Shinya stood back and watched as Yu~ki led Reita slowly to the ground, cradling him in his arms and groaning rhythmically as he drank from him. A violent tremor ran through his body as he withdrew, and Shinya heard Reita stop breathing. Quickly, Yu~ki sank his fangs into his own wrist and twisted them, opening a large enugh wound to pour a steady stream of blood into Reita's mouth. Shinya scoffed softly, a little surprised. So it really is that simple... he thought, holding back a smile. How 'Interview With the Vampire'. He crossed his arms over his chest nervously, finding himself somewhat turned on by the scene in front of him. Suddenly there was a shuffling noise from the other side of the street, which went totally unnoticed by the preoccupied Yu~ki. Shinya eyed the shadows across the street warily, but saw nothing, and was brought back to himself as he heard Yu~ki's breath catch in his throat painfully. Shinya watched at Reita's eyes shot open and his teeth clamped down on Yu~ki's wrist. He brought his hand up and latched onto Yu~ki's arm with his nails, sucking hard at his torn skin. Yu~ki clenched his jaw and sat still, letting Reita drink from him. All of Reita's movements now were eerily mechanical, and Shinya shivered, holding himself a little tighter. Suddenly Yu~ki twisted his arm away from Reita, and the bassist merely sat there, his eyes wide and staring. The colour that had drained from him slowly returned, and he took one deep breath, his eyes fluttering closed, before he collapsed against the wall of the building. Yu~ki cringed as he wrapped one hand around his wrist, pressing the wound to stem the bleeding, and slowly looked up at Shinya. There was pain in his eyes, and though he looked exhausted and was the same almost grey colour Shinya was used to seeing on him when he came home, he stood carefully and looked down at the seemingly sleeping body. Though curious, Shinya stayed silent, almost afraid to ask anything at that moment. But Yu~ki seemed to read his mind when he spoke.
"His body is being infected with the vampire disease," Yu~ki explained, eyeing Reita. "It will take some time, but it varies how long. I should take him back to his house, so he'll be comfortable." Shinya merely nodded, unable to wrench his eyes away from Reita. There were dark stains on his nose bandanna, and his mouth hung open, revealing the glint of what must have been growing fangs. Blood seeped slowly out of the corners of his mouth, reminding Shinya of Kyo after a show. It was almost as freakish as his strange movements earlier, and Shinya shuddered again. After a long moment, Yu~ki bent down and scooped Reita into his arms, then turning to Shinya nodded a little.
"You should go home, too. I'll be there in a short while." Shinya bowed his head a little in response, then disappeared. In a moment, Yu~ki too was gone. Across the street, there was a sudden loud crash followed by the howl of a cat. Ruki, his eyes wide and his fangs bared, stumbled out of the shadows and fell onto the ground, clutching himself. He, too, had been paralysed, and was unable to do anything but watch as one of his closest friends was taken by the same daemon who damned him. The familiar hunger pains wrenched at his gut, making him twitch violently. Tears seeped out of his eyes, splashing onto the cement as he seized, getting even more dirty than he was before. The cat that had howled and run in fear peered around the corner at him, and he reached out for it, growling bestially. The cat hissed at him and ran off, and he cried out as another pain hit him. Gasping for breath, he commanded control of his body, and slowly came back to himself. But the tears wouldn't stop this time, and a new pain had begun to form in his heart, one that would harden him forever and make him into something completely new.
At Yu~ki's house, Shinya appeared in the entryway and unzipped his boots quickly, striding off into his bedroom and falling onto his bed. Now he knew how it was done. He had seen it with his own eyes. But it was Yu~ki who did it. He lifted his arm slowly, turning his wrist in the light from the window. Could he even do it, since he was such a newly made vampire? Then again, Yu~ki was young once, too. And he couldn't have waited that long to do it, right? Whatever the case...it was Shinya's last resort. Something had begun to break in him, something deep inside that clutched at him and refused to let go. He craved Yu~ki's interest, Yu~ki's sole attention, and he would do anything - even risk his own life - to get that. So if it had come to this, he couldn't sit wondering anymore. It was time he took matters into his own hands. Soon, very soon, he would find out just what his new body was capable of.
