A/N: Hmm… My first vampire fic. I'd like to get criticism, good and bad. And if I get enough reviews, I'll probably write another chapter. But only if you readers like this, `cause I'm really busy with schoolwork right now. If you like this and I get enough reviews, I'll be nice and write another chapter. It could take a while though…

 

Summary:

“Would you want red eyes, inhumane strength, better hearing and better eye sight?”

Mirao has been asked that, but does he really have a choice? It's a full moon in four days, but it's a blood moon. And we all know how vampires have fun when it's a blood moon… M/M

 

 

Chapter 1: At Night We Play

 

4 days before the full moon

 

Mirao lay on his bed, but he wasn't alone.

He was never alone.

“Teru teru Naoki-sama,” he whispered into the darkness of his room.

His alarm clock shown 03:23 a.m., his mother and father were most likely already asleep.

Sighing, he turned onto his left side and stared ahead, but looking at nothing.

“Mirao…”

A smile tainted Mirao's lips as he heard the whisper, a slight echo to the voice.

From the shadows of his room, Mirao saw a pair of eyes staring back at him.

A pleasant chill ran up his spine as a face started to form out of the shadow, midnight black hair, then the lean body. Blood red eyes stared at Mirao hungrily, a wild look to them.

“N-Naoki-sama,” Mirao stuttered, having seen the glint in the other man's eyes.

He knew what Naoki had in mind.

The man grinned, his expression one of insanity.

“Konban wa,” the deep voice replied, the echo still there as if he wasn't the one talking, but instead many Naoki's.

Mirao gulped, nervous all of a sudden. He hadn't seen Naoki's wild side in a long time.

Four years now? Yeah, four years. That's how long Mirao had known Naoki.

Ever since the day…

Mirao could feel the hair on the nape of his neck stand on end as Naoki took a step closer to the bed where Mirao lay.

The tall man came to the edge of the bed and crawled on top of it, slowly crawling towards Mirao, the gleam still in his eyes.

Soon he was face to face with Mirao and grinned widely.

“Ogenki desu ka?” he asked, his voice low and husky.

Mirao could feel himself trembling, though against his own will and his breathing turned into light panting.

“Genki desu,” he breathed out, struggling to breathe normally,

“Anata desu ka?”

Naoki's grin seemed to grow, if that was possible and he laughed low, his voice sounding like thunder.

“Come my little one.”
Slowly getting up, Mirao stood, only reaching Naoki's chin as they stood face to face.

“Where are we going?” Mirao asked, his breath somewhat normal.

Naoki winked,

“It'll be a full moon soon. Lets go enjoy it.”

Nodding slowly, Mirao quickly changed out of his pajama bottoms and into a pair of jeans and a pullover. Slipping his feet into a pair of sandals, Mirao turned back to Naoki who held out his hand.

“Come.”

Mirao took the offered hand. Naoki wrapped his arms around Mirao and closed his eyes.

They seemed to melt into the shadows of Mirao's room, the same way Naoki had come there in the first place.

 

From shadow to shadow they moved, Mirao clinging onto Naoki for dear life. As Naoki put on more speed he held onto Mirao's form tighter.

Soon they stopped and Mirao peeked over Naoki's shoulder.

“We're at a park?”

Naoki grinned down at Mirao and slowly let go of the younger male.

“Not just any park,” the man said, his blood red eyes scanning the small park,

“This is where we first met.”

Mirao's eyes widened as he looked around the park.

“B-But I met you at a café!”

Naoki turned his grin towards Mirao,

“That's when I introduced myself. Remember the day before? When you bumped into someone and said to `fuck off'?”

Mirao's face paled.

“I-It was you…” he whispered, but Naoki caught what he said with his sensitive hearing.

“Of course it was me,” he said and made a sound similar to a snort, but Mirao wasn't sure,

“My eyes just happened to be green at that moment”

Mirao gazed into Naoki's red eyes.

“Were they green before you…?”

“Before I became a Nosferatu?” Naoki asked, his voice filled with amusement, seeing Mirao nod his head,

“Oh, yes. Definitely green with a little yellow to bring out the color.”

Mirao hesitated for a second, wondering if he should ask the question or not. It was a stupid question anyway.

“Do you think red eyes would suit me?”

Naoki gazed into Mirao's sky blue eyes, his face sober as he examined every detail on the boys face, then his grin was back.

“You'd look absolutely sexy with red eyes little one, but it would make you look like an albino.”

Mirao fisted the long braid of silver white hair that reached his waist, flinging it back over his shoulder with a slightly annoyed look.

Naoki brushed Mirao's bangs away from those brilliant blue eyes.

“Would you want red eyes, inhumane strength, better hearing and better eye sight?” Naoki asked, his deep voice almost gentle.

Mirao shrugged his shoulders.

“It would be cool, but you've already bitten me once. If you bite me again, I'll turn into a Nosferatu and won't be able to become human again,” Mirao said quietly,

“It's already hard enough to always stay in the shadows when I'm outside in daylight. I don't know what my parents would-“

Naoki's lips on the boys ended Mirao's rambling. The kiss was quick and as it ended, Mirao had a look of bewilderment on his face and his cheeks were tainted with a pink blush.

“N-Naoki-sama!” he stammered, touching his lips with his fingers, the bewildered look fading into one of confusion.

Naoki licked his own lips, tasting the remains of the kiss and groaned.

“Mirao-o…” he said in a hushed voice, almost a low whine, but then his voice turned back to normal,

“I brought you here to watch the moon.”

 

Looking up, Mirao could see the moon clearly. There were no clouds on the way, so the huge, round moon shone in the clear night sky.

But something was wrong with it. The moon seemed to be a slight shade of red.

“What's wrong with it?” Mirao asked in a hushed voice.

He almost jumped when he felt Naoki snake his arms around his waist from behind and hot breath in his ear.

“It's a warning…” Naoki whispered, causing a pleasant shudder to run up Mirao's spine.

“In 4 days the moon will become full and it will be blood red.”

“Just like your eyes…” Mirao whispered and Naoki chuckled lightly,

“Hai, just like my eyes… But you won't be safe then.”

Mirao relaxed into Naoki's arms, leaning against Naoki's broad chest a lazy smile across his lips.

“Why wouldn't I be safe? You've told me about these `blood-moons',” Mirao replied,

“You've told me how vampires go hunting. They find their prey and don't turn them, and if they want to they can turn the humans into Nosferatu, but as a consequence the Nosferatu and human form a link…”

Mirao's eyes widened suddenly and he tilted his head to the side so he could see Naoki's face behind him.

“A blood moon appears once every four years,” Naoki explained, staring straight into Mirao's eyes,

“We met on the day of the blood moon.”

 

Mirao felt faint. He remembered how Naoki had turned from a person who looked like a nin-jin, smiling all the time into a Nosferatu that wanted nothing else, but to feed on any human that came across his path. Oh, how he'd been afraid that night when he'd been walking home alone from a friends house. It had probably been after 11:00 p.m., because he'd said goodbye to his friend at about that time.

He'd decided to cross through the very park where they were standing, but he'd never thought to realize that danger lurked in shadows. Literally.

Someone had attacked him from behind, tearing at his clothes. Mirao had screamed in terror and tried to defend himself, but he wasn't able to.

Mirao still remembered how the fangs pierced through his neck, his own blood flowing down his neck and into his assailant's mouth. Just then did he realize that there really were Nosferatu. He had felt his life force being drained and any longer and he would've died.

But that wasn't meant to be. A man with midnight black hair and alluring green eyes came to his rescue. The man wore a black suit and Mirao had thought that he belonged to some police force or something. Mirao thought he'd seen the man before, but wasn't sure where…

 

He was dropped to the ground as the two men stared at each other, Mirao's assailant hostilely and the new man deadly calm.

Mirao's eyes had widened and he'd almost suffered a heart attack when he'd seen the man with midnight black hair started to transform. Growing taller, hair longer, eyes turned from that alluring green to blood red. And the fangs! The fangs were long and sharp, bared at the other vampire.

“Naoki-sama! He is my prey!” Mirao's assailant had hissed, but Naoki had only grinned maliciously.

“No, he is mine. I will make him one of us,” Naoki had said,

“Watch your tongue Migatsu or I will leave you to die in the sun.”

Mirao remembered feeling dizzy and his eyesight blurring, but he had seen the silhouette of Naoki.

“H-Help me…” he had rasped.

Naoki had kneeled before him and placed Mirao's head onto his lap.

“This will hurt, little one.”

And Mirao remembered the pain of being bitten twice the same day, but as Naoki had sunk his teeth into Mirao, the then 14- year old had felt something.

He remembered how Naoki had slit his own wrist and made him drink his blood.

He could feel a presence in his mind, like there was someone other than himself there also.

“For you to become completely Nosferatu, we would have to engage in a sexual act,” Naoki had explained to a tired Mirao.

Mirao could remember how he had panicked.

“Sir, please don't, onegai! Onegai!”

“But it's true.”

Mirao blinked his eyes and looked at Naoki, slowly pulling away from the warmth that was Naoki's.

“Hai, wakarimasu, demo…ah…” Mirao groaned in frustration,

“I'm not ready! Don't tell me we have to! Don't tell me, onegai Naoki-sama!”

Naoki's face seemed to soften at Mirao's pleas and his eyes seemed to become sad, but of course it wasn't really possible for one like Naoki to feel such things. All these “feelings” came from the bond between the human Mirao.

“Gomen ne, demo it can not be postponed,” he said, stepping towards Mirao and wrapping his arms around the boy once again,

“If we do, there is a chance that you might die from a half bond. That would mean that I would totally loose what is left of my sanity.”

“And you'd die too…?” Mirao asked quietly, his voice slightly muffled from having his head buried against Naoki's chest.

“Hai…”

Mirao started to shake and he could feel tears stinging his eyes.

“It's not fair! Why did that-that Migatsu guy have to bite me? Me of all people?!”

Naoki chuckled slightly,

“Now, now Mirao-kun. You are being selfish.”

Mirao glared up at Naoki.

“I'm being selfish?! You're the one who's asking me to have sex with you though I'm clearly not ready!” he hissed, then his eyes got a far away look to them,

“I wasn't even gay back then. I hadn't dated anyone… I still haven't, because of this stupid bond! I always feel guilty for even looking at a girl or an attractive guy nowadays…”

A sob racked Mirao's form as tears of anguish fell down his cheeks and soaked Naoki's shirt.

“Hush, little one,” Naoki said in a calm voice, but it only made Mirao cry harder,

“We will see what happens in four days… If you're not ready then…”

Naoki held onto Mirao tighter, running his fingers over the long, white braided hair.

They staid like that for what seemed like hours, and Naoki finally looked down at Mirao's face. The boy was fast asleep, breathing evenly against Naoki's chest.

Naoki smiled serenely.

`I love him…' he thought, but his consciousness objected,

`I don't love him. It's just lust-`

`Then why haven't you made him a Nosferatu yet?'

`Because it's against his will. I want him to succumb to me of his own will.'

`But that won't happen in four days…'

`What do you mean? Of course it will or then he'll just reject me like before…`

`Neither of those will happen. The bond is strong and, because he is of age, the bond will addle his mind and make him succumb to your will. But after the full moon has ended…'

“Iie,” Naoki said lowly, trying not to wake Mirao up as he growled,

“That won't happen!”

`We will see in four days…'

Naoki glared at the moon, hating the fact that it had so much power over Mirao's life.

He could feel Mirao shiver against him and decided it was time to take the boy back to his home.

 

Soon they were in Mirao's room and Naoki placed the boy onto his bed.

Being careful not to wake the boy, Naoki stripped him of his clothes and admired the boy's body for a while. Beautiful face, lean chest, slim legs… But what he loved most about Mirao was his long hair. Silently he opened the braid, loving the feel of the silky white strands. Mirao looked like an angel to Naoki with his hair open.

`All the more reason to make him one of us…'

Naoki muted the voice in his head and had to close his eyes as he slid Mirao's boxers down. Quickly he replaced them with the pajama bottoms, which Mirao had worn when he had arrived earlier.

Opening his eyes, Naoki had to take a step back for the temptation of ravishing the boy in front of him was so strong.

`Just have your way with him. Fuck him, then bite him,' his mind taunted, but he shook his head, fading into the shadows.

“Mirao, you've influenced me too much with you morality,” he whispered before he disappeared into the shadows.

A smile appeared onto Mirao's lips as if he'd heard what Naoki had said.

No, he was dreaming of a life with Naoki as a human and him together, living happily ever after.

But a vampire cannot live, for it is dead.

And the dead cannot live, right?
