You Will Only Be Mine

After we were all done eating, Akira forced Kazu-kun to rest and went on to do the dishes. He sat down on the couch, and I finally got the chance to snuggle up to him. His body was so warm, and his scent was making my mind go fuzzy. Nothing could compare to having him close to him.

"Someone is happy that I am finally here," he teasingly said, and my face heated up.

"It's your fault for making me love you so much," I said, pouting and continuing to snuggle against him. He started caressing my head, and I leaned into it. His hand was so firm yet soft, if I wasn't careful, I know I would just fall asleep with just this.

His teasing is not wrong, though; I am happy that he is finally here. Really happy. After our argument in the afternoon, I didn't get a chance to be close to him. He said he won't hate me, that he would love me no matter what. I will hold him against those words, but that's not enough. I have to make sure there is not a single crack in our relationship. He has to love me like he promised.

He has turned into a half-vampire like me, and while I can't hold in the happiness that he has to drink my blood every day to live, there is still this uncertainty in my heart. I'm not sure how long his life will be. If it's just like mine, he won't have too long to live. On top of that, his birthday comes before mine, so the chances of him dying months before me are also immense. Will I even be able to keep myself sane if he dies before I do? Even if it were from natural causes. Could I live for another moment knowing I won't be able to see him anymore?

I don't believe in the afterlife, but having those thoughts makes me beg for there to be one. I don't want to just die off and disappear after not seeing him for that long. I want to see him again in after afterlife, live forever with him. Every inch of my body is begging for us to just convert into normal vampires and have an infinite life span. If there is not a forever, I will do something to make that the case. I can't stay away from Kazu-kun. I can't live with even the slightest doubt of having him hate me.

I don't want to be away from him. Not again, not ever. I made sure Akira got the stuff from a nearby convenience store while Kazu-kun was busy getting the groceries. There are no ifs or buts. No possibilities. I will make sure Kazu-kun keeps loving me no matter what.

"I love you…" I muttered under my breath and felt a warm kiss on my head. I looked up to see his handsome face beaming with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

"I love you too, Ai," he said, and my heart skipped a beat. My body started to feel warm inside, and I leaned against him even more. I need to preserve this face forever, no matter what I have to do. I will stop acting on my impulses, too.

He said it was okay for couples, but I don't want to fight him. I don't want to do anything that would make him upset. Whatever Kazu-kun says, goes. I will become his in every sense of being, and I will make sure every inch of him is mine.

"I love you so much," he followed up and placed another kiss on his head. I believe you. I do, but I am still scared. I'm sorry.

"I love you even more," I replied, lifting my head and meeting his eyes. They are so pretty…

He lowered his head, and our lips touched for a moment before he pulled away. I wanted him to kiss me more, but I know why he is doing that. I turned my head to look at Akira, still cleaning the dishes. We were both surprised that she knew how to do them given but her answer was all the same. She learned everything about housework to be of use to us. Her dedication is on another level. Well, nowhere near my dedication to Kazu-kun, but still respectable.

"Hmm?" Kazu's phone rang and he picked it up. I could lightly hear who the person on the other side was, and his eyes stared ahead with a blank expression before he looked at me. He nods his head and cuts the call.

"What did Natsumi-san say?" I asked him, and he took a deep breath before saying anything.

"She asked all three of us to come to the VEO tomorrow. I have to get my check-up done and…" he paused for a bit, still unsure of this plan. "Draw your and Akira's blood."

She did mention that in the afternoon, when Kazu-kun was hyperventilating. Ever since he has turned into this, his mind has been a lot more unstable than before. I don't blame him for that. Having to take in this much information on the go while your life is on the line will definitely have its toll on him. I saw him revert back to his little self, so afraid of everything and everyone, and every fibre in my body rushed to be by his side. I don't want him to suffer this much; he doesn't deserve this. Which is why I will do everything in my power to soothe his pain and worries.

No matter what.

He may distance himself from me out of worries for me, so I have to prove to him that I am just as strong. He thinks he is doing this for my safety, but I am safe when I am around him. I am happy when he is near. If you love me, please don't go anywhere. I can't handle anything without you.

"I will be taking my leave now, Kazuki-sama, Ai-sama," Akira said after finishing the last of the dishes and bowing before us. Kazu-kun looked at me and then back at Akira, but before he could say anything, Akira spoke up again. "Please, do not ask me to stay any longer. I would prefer to keep giving you two your time now. You have been extremely kind to me today, and I will never forget this, but please, allow me to take my leave."

Nice one, Akira.

"Okay, I understand. But do come with us to the VEO tomorrow. We have to get your and Ai's blood drawn," he said, and Akira tilted her head in confusion.

"What would that be for?" she asked.

"To store it in blood bags and for me to drink from. It was something Natsumi-san recommended for me to keep my urges in check. Also, we may move soon, so if possible, looking into some place nearby ours," he said, and Akira nodded her head and bowed again.

"I understand, now allow me to leave," she said, and Kazu-kun nodded before she vanished right before our eyes.

Once she left, he stretched his arms in the air and wrapped them around my body. He slid down and rested his head on my shoulder, and I started caressing his hair. His eyes slowly closed, and he gently kissed his forehead.

"Sleepy?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"A little too much happened today. Again," he said, letting out a sigh, and I giggled.

"Okay then, time to head for the bed!" I announced, standing up and picking him up in my arms. He got flustered by the act, and his face turned red. Oh my god, he looks so cute! I should do this more!

"Why am I being the one being carried like this?" he asked me, and I just started to walk to our bedroom. There was no way I was going to let him go after I saw that expression.

"Don't worry, Kazu-kun, I'll be the one taking care of you tonight," I said and teasingly licked my lip. I could see him shudder at the thought and look the other way. Oh my, is someone shy?

"Maybe…not today…" he meekly said, and I was taken aback by it. Why? Why does he not want that? Is he not attracted to me anymore? Is it my scars? They have to be right? I mean, I look hideous with them on. But what if it isn't? What could be the reason? Did I not react properly last time? Did I do something wrong? Why is Kazu-kun saying no to this after being so flustered? Does he not like doing it with me? "I'm scared I might lose myself against, like last time…"

I see.

I met his eyes, and he did look uncertain about it. Looks like asking Akira for that was not needed. Well, it will come in handy later. I am so glad he is not repulsed by me. This dumb little guy will kill himself with worry before doing anything about it. Well, that is also part of what I love so much about him.

I shouldn't push him for that. He will show when he wants it. Yes, I don't need to rush in. He still loves me a lot.

I placed him on the bed and wrapped him up in the blanket before I sat next to the burrito. I placed my hand on his head and started caressing it. Sleep, my love, get your well-deserved rest.

"Shouldn't we take a bath before?" he asked. "Or maybe change into different clothes?"

"Oh my, does Kazu-kun want to strip before me. I won't mind the show," I said in a suggestive tone, and he smirked.

"Maybe I want to see Ai do a little show for me," he said in a confident tone, and my face heated up. Wait, he wants me to do that for him? I mean, it is Kazu-kun after all. I can do it for him. Yes, I can. No need to be shy, Kazu-kun has seen me many times before. He loves me and my body. I have never done this before, but I'll try my best. "Cute."

"You were teasing me?" I asked him and he gave me a big smile.

This boy! I swear he will kill me one day with that smile of his. I can't even be mad at him.
