The birds chirping outside was louder this morning, or it was just Aiya's overly sensitive ears acting up again. Feeling much like the female lead in the hit movie and book trilogy, Twilight, Aiya got his request fullfilled much like she did.because of their acquaintance and partner in vigilance, Maruki, Aiya's partner was no longer human. As of the night before, nor was Aiya. He had known about most of the side effects having seen Maruki, but with that knowledge, Aiya could not handle them as good as he thought he could. Maruki was always stronger that way, he was always so much braver then Aiya.
Though it did not effect him anymore, Maruki had left all the curtains closed and all the lights off for Aiya. With him in the living room of their very first house, Yuriko sat next to Satsuki's head, playing with her ear. As animals, Yuriko and Satsuki were more prone to supernatural phenomena's such as ghosts or spirits. Most animals would be going crazy and attacking something as dark as Maruki and Aiya, but little did most humans know, when an animal was to sense something of the supernatural world, it was mainly their aura that they were afraid of.
Aiya was quiet for the past two days, lying quietly in his room, recovering from the pain that Maruki had gone through himself. In order to not disturb him too much, Maruki remained at a distance, keeping an eye on him from a distance.
Ever since his existence as this strange, supposed supernatural creature, Maruki had taught himself to deal with all the side effects that most humans, himself included, had read in books about avoiding sunlight and the lack of food intake. Other then the blood that ran in his veins, Maruki was still quite human.
Surprisingly even before Maruki, Satsuki propped herself up, scaring Yuriko and went running down the hallway. Despite it being a house, the layout seemed very similar to their apartment in Shibuya.
"Maruki." Aiya called out after Satsuki had gone running. He was up, still seeming very weak to do anything yet. "Maruki." he called out again, sounding as if he was about to cry.
Following their loyal dog down the hallway, Maruki looked for Aiya easily in the pitch black hall. Aiya held himself up against the wall, crawling against it as he made his way towards Maruki. All it took was one fumble of a step and Aiya was sent towards the floor. Being what he was, Maruki was able to dart to Aiya's side and catch him before he fell and hurt his sensitive body.
"What are you doing Aiya?" Maruki slowly lowered Aiya to the floor, resting him on his back. "You should be resting you know." Maruki kneeled down next to him, feeling his head, he was still colder then death, he wasn't ready to walk around yet.
Aiya was dead weight, he was jello under Maruki's fingers until he rested against the wall. His dark, feminine eyes looked up to Maruki, defeated almost.
"I feel useless Maa chan." His feminine eyes narrowed sadly. "I have been doing nothing for two days." On a regular basis if he did not have work at his part time job, of which he had recently quit on good terms, he would be helping with cleaning and cooking, and playing with their pets. Since this, painful phenomenon, he has done nothing but lie in bed, hardly moving a single limb.
Maruki chuckled lightly, brushing Aiya's black bangs out of his eyes.
"Aiya, you don't have to do anything." He smiled softly down to him, Aiya still could barely see in this light, let alone at all. "I know how you are feeling and it's okei, really." Maruki's sweet, tend smile was metaphorically bright as always.
Aiya pushed himself up, leaning himself against the wall. He hit his head against the wall gently. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly.
"Ne Maruki. I have a question." he looked off to the side, to embarrassed that he was thinking about asking it, let alone actually asking it.
Maruki looked to Aiya questioningly, a curious gleam sparkling in his eyes. He tilted his head sweetly to the side.
"What is it Ai?" his voice was soft, as if he knew what he was going to ask before he even asked.
There were certain side effects that some could Handle and some could not. For this side effect, Maruki was able to handle it. He handled it very well as a matter-of-fact. The problem with side effects like the one Maruki knew occurred in the first few days, was it was very overpowering.
Aiya was becoming very fidgety, he was nervously rubbing his fingers together.
"Ano..." he paused. Still he couldn't look Maruki in the eye. He sensed that Maruki already knew what he was going to ask. "when you went though this, I didn't know at the time, we only found out after you had already changed." he paused again, trying two dance around the subject. But lost for words now, he could do nothing but ask now.
"Did you ever get feelings? Like..." Aiya was shy around other people, never Maruki. He was just finding out that he was very shy when it came to the subject of sex. "Like... Arousal feelings." he was blushing now, in the depths of the blacked hallway.
Maruki chuckled softly, leaning in towards Aiya slightly.
"Aiya, why are you embarrassed." he leaned against the wall, sitting next to Aiya. "I had them, but I was able to fight those urges." he spoke very maturely and grown up. In a book he read, feelings like that were natural for everyone who's changed.
Maruki was a very sound mind and was normally never effected by overpowering emotions, except when he was away from Aiya for those two years, everything changed then. Aiya tried to look up at Maruki one final time, yet failed again.
"What did you do about them?" he asked softly and shaky, he was obviously still embarrassed about even asking.
Maruki had to think for a moment, he couldn't remember very well about that part of his change since he ignored it so much.
"As far as I can remember, I just ignored it." As it was, Maruki was to do anything for Aiya still, his best and oldest friend. "Do you think you can ignore them Aiya?" he asked in the least embarrassing manner as he could. Something like that was not something men talked about freely.
Aiya curled his feet up, curling into a small ball on the floor. He was thinking as hard as he could, even trying to push those feelings away by trying to distract himself. As hard as he tried, he couldn't. Aiya shook his head continuously, even then trying to push away the feelings.
"hmm." Maruki thought a moment, looking at his helpless best friend with tender eyes. It's not something that came natural like most humans, but he could at least try.
"I could help you with them." as calmly as he said it, his heart was racing in his chest, pounding loudly in his ears.
Aiya looked at him now, his feminine eyes widening to their limits. His mind became blank, even those feelings have gone away. Maruki has never said anything like that before. When his mind started working again, he subconsciously nodded his head, accepting his offer. Aiya's face was dropped in awe, his mouth hung open in shock, his feelings for Maruki finally coming true.
He agreed? Something Maruki was not expecting. Now what was he going to do? They were frozen for what seemed forever. Surprising, Aiya not the first one to make a move like he was the last time, this time it was Maruki. Shifting to face Aiya now, Maruki licked his full, pink lips nervously.
In the pitch black hallway, both of their heart beats could be heard loudly, they were both nervous. Aiya sat still, biting his lip hard, maruki was breaths away from Aiya, and closing in slowly. Aiya's rosebud lips were already moist from his nervous habit of licking his lips.
Maruki's wide, almond shaped eyes narrowed as he began to close them slowly. He tilted his head to the perfect distance where their lips would lock perfectly when the came in contact.
Aiya leaned back, teasing Maruki with distance between their lips. In leaning back, it caused Maruki to crawl over him, eventually to hover over him fully.
He lay flat on his back on the cold hardwood floor, marukinhad crawled over him, his hands on either side of his shoulders. Maruki's soft breath stopped before their warm, moist lips locked slowly and perfectly.
