II

(Curiously unknowingly…he fell in love)
Curious…
That was what Yao had felt when he saw the human that stepped on his border.
Curious…
That was what made Yao to save the human life.
Curious…
Again. That was what let Yao to permit the human to stay…even indulging in his privacy.
…wasn’t it?
The true...He himself didn’t know why.
It had been more than one month passed since Ivan stayed here. There was nothing unusual. Ivan was wounded and Yao nursed him back, expecting the human to go safely when he had healed or killed in his hand if he offended him…
At first, Yao tolerated him because Ivan reminded him of his siblings. Like when they were still a child-----Kiku that always curious, Yong Soo that always demanding attention, Xiang and Mei that always clinging to him. Then again he always considered the human as children albeit the wayward ones (without the same affection that he felt for his siblings of course).
Human was the fragile being that knew nothing about the world and yet always acted like a superior… Through centuries, Yao’s opinion about them was going lower and lower. Indeed, some of his kind never thought them higher than food and even for him that didn’t need blood to live, they were just existed as amusement. What being again that couldn’t learn for the bloody history their ancestor had done and created one war after another in the name of justice? Or it was just their foolishness that never realized that their justice was just another name for greed and selfishness?
…certainly foolishness…If not they wouldn’t be so easily to manipulate. Again there was no one that ever realized that some of their war had been created by rivaled vampires or their victory and loss had been staged by the interested vampires. England and France were a good example.
Well, it didn’t matter much. Their flaws had merit in some case. For Yao, he wouldn’t care much about moral or justice (after all, vampire civilization was worse in that aspect), for him there was only the useful human or the useless human.
But Yao didn’t care anymore. It had been closed to one millennium since he played in the world affair. Although he knew about what had happen and sometime his siblings would come to visit and told him more.
“Yao-Yao~~!”
Lost in thought, he didn’t aware that Ivan had hugged him from behind. “What is it, Ivan?” Questioning, he looked up.
“Yao-Yao is so small, da~”
“W-what?!” Yao sputtered indignantly. Seriously, Ivan always surprised him with inconsiderate and strange remarks. “So rude!! That’s not how you greet someone in the morning!!!”
“Alright,” Ivan said heartily. “Morning Little Yao-Yao~!”
Yao’s eyes twitched but knew better than protest.
So he just turned around and scowled the violet eyes that sparked innocently. Really what a deceiving appearance that this human had. Yao sighed. Another would think that Ivan was a child that trapped in adult body. The strangest thing was (to Yao that always regarded human as children) he couldn’t even consider Ivan, which acted like child as one. “Ivan, if you feel bored, could you help me to set the dish?”
A cheerful laugh was his answer.
Yao smiled warmly at Ivan even that he didn’t exactly feel anything. Something like him, that didn’t even have heart or soul can’t really experience anything. Their emotions were more repressed than human and usually seem emotionless (something that certainty had strengthened their tale as monsters) But their race had long ago learned to life among human, to blend in and cause mayhem. The vampires knew how to show certain emotion in various situations, how to act for their own greatest advantage.
Yao himself had learned a lot and from experience he knew that human, whoever they were, was comfortable if he acted kind and caring. Someone that wouldn’t hesitate to offer advices…that had a warm and calm present.
“Of course. If Yao-Yao want to.” Ivan patted Yao’s head. The other just swatted the hand playfully. Really, Yao musing, Ivan had a tall bulky figure that contrasted with his innocent face. But Yao know better. One didn’t survive all the millenniums without learned a lot of things.
The first time Yao saw him, he already knew that he was a trouble. There was a complexity beyond the Ivan that he knew…although Yao didn’t doubt that Ivan had been sincerely to him from the start. But…Ivan couldn’t hide his other side, it always showed in his eyes.
Yao looked at Ivan that carefully placed the dish. The violet eyes that glistened with insanity…
At present, Yao didn’t care about how potentially dangerous the human was. He could kill him easily even that it was wasting to take life of someone that interesting. But…If Ivan proved to be a threat by discovering his identity… (Even that Yao was sure that the Game that they played would take Ivan nowhere) Yao wouldn’t let him alive. No human ever survive when they had discovered the secret. It was unspoken rule to kill anyone that had found out and Ivan wouldn’t be any different.
“Done!” Ivan looked proud. “Does Yao-Yao need another help?”
Yao just gave another smiled, decision already in hand. But curiously, when the impact of his decision sunk down, he felt a deep ache in his cold heart. In moment of the foreign feeling, he dropped the cup that he took. The tea soaked his clothes.
“Yao! The blood!!”
Yao snapped from his musing by Ivan’s frantic voice. Yes, aside from tea, there were also blood in his silk robe and it began to pool down at floor. There’s a slash in his hand.
“Wait, Yao! I’ll take the bandage!!” A rusting Ivan run out the room. Yao just raised his eyebrow and licking the blood that still freely flow down. With just a second the blood stopped and the wound almost closed. Silently he cleaned the blood, tea, and broken pieces of cup in floor. When Ivan returned, there’s only a bit mess at his robe.
“Yao-Yao? What…?” Ivan blinked, noticed the room had been cleaned and in Yao’s hand there was only a small scratch.
Yao just smiled. “Ah, it just a small wound, don’t need to worry much.”
“But…that much blood…?”
“It’s usual for a small cut to bleed that much in some place, but really, it’s nothing.”
Ivan scowled and still stubbornly bandaged his hand. Yao sighed. “It would be nicer if you just stand still and stop following me alone.”
“But then if you need something, like taking something in upper rack? Yao-Yao can’t reach it!“ Ivan tried to lighten the mood.
Really, Yao didn’t need any help and he had feeling that Ivan also knew it. But it gave a pleasant feeling to see someone took a lot of trouble for him.
“Are you still thinking that I’m small? My height is normal in my homeland, it’s just you that had unusual height!”
Ivan sent him his doubtful look.
“Okay! So that the medicine racks was a bit higher but there’re an innovation that called Ladder.”
From the concern glance, Yao knew that Ivan’s anxiety from before still wasn’t vanished and he didn’t care at what Yao said.
“But I want to be with you…” a small pout with puppy eyes.
A beginning of another smile tucked in his lips. Curiously it seemed easier for him to smile sincerely these days.
