Chapter 4

Hanabusa shifted and silently hoped the walls would fall down allowing him to escape the awkward silence that had grown since his last comment. It seemed as though Akatsuki had ran straight from classes and was waiting for something to be done or said.

Standing his ground was what a Hanabusa did best, the family name wasn't known for being weak-hearted and Aido wasn't about to dirty the reputation.

Just then a third body entered the room; Ichijo Takuma danced happily into the room and wrapped his arm around Kain waist.

"Looks like we have all of are players back, now we can begin!" Takuma said with a sing-song voice and an over the top smile plastered.

Hanabusa and Akatsuki both knew immediately what the crazy vice-president meant.

Spin the bottle. Just what they boys needed to break the ice.

Hanabusa had given up running. Either way things would turn out completely out of hand. It wasn't that he was a coward but the idea of losing Akatsuki was an awful notion.

Ichijo lead them into the office space that he was given for being the vice-president. The room was small but once the group had cleared the space, pushing the tables and chairs to the wall there was room for the seven of them.

Akatsuki, Hanabusa, Ruka, Shiki, Rima, Ichijo and Seiren of all vampires were seated in a neat circle. Ichijo produced an empty wine bottle and placed it in the middle. "So, rules?"

"Spinner has to kiss whoever the bottle points to." Ruka quickly filled in. "Time limit?" Ichijo asked next.

Hanabusa still wasn't sure what he was doing here. He was worn-out and guessed that the rest of the group was only humoring their vice-president. Maybe even looking for some fun when Kaname-sama was away. Hanabusa peaked over at Akatsuki. He had managed to fold his long legs under himself. Akatsuki was easily the tallest of the Nigh class students. The teen's eyes traveled up to the other's face. Akatsuki's eyes and face showed little expression. Hanabusa, however, could read him like a book. The familiar territory had saved the two in many fights, they knew when the other had reached their breaking point.

Hanabusa's stomach jumped as Akatsuki looked over and met his gaze. His lips quirked into a playful smirk, he had caught Hanabusa staring at him. Akatsuki's smirk quickly flitted away as he got a better look at his cousin. Carefully he searched Hanabusa's eyes just as he had done before. The taller boy wanted answers to why the Hanabusa had left so suddenly and without letting him know. Confusion and desperation. This made Akatsuki nervous. If his cousin was worried about something and felt backed into a wall it usually ended up with both of them in trouble. Kain frowned slightly hoping that later tonight they would have a chance to talk this out before 'whatever' happened.

"If the two of you are done making eyes, we can start." Ichijo laughed, taking the first spin. The rules had been set and were with each time the spinner landed on the same person the intensity of the kiss would go up. Seemingly easy.

Time passed without incident. Ruka continued to land on Akatsuki much to Hanabusa's irritation. The part that getting to him was that with each time the kiss was longer and with more contact. So when Ruka spun and landed on Akatsuki she looked innocently at him batting her eyelashes.

Like she hadn't been wishing for this.

Akatsuki wasn't looking that pleased. He could tell that his cousin was already had his fill of the childish game. Akatsuki was probably sick of kissing Ruka anyway he wagered while plotting the skanks downfall. Before tonight Hanabusa had thought there was something between her and his cousin. Not anymore, Akatsuki looked like he was pulling a face.

"Go on over Ruka. It isn't like this is something new." Ichijo looked sympathetic towards Akatsuki.

Ruka cut the shy act and crawled over to Akatsuki. Hanabusa scouted over as she threw herself at her target. Settled on Akatsuki's lap she pressed her body against his and cradled the boy's face.

Hanabusa wanted to gag, the display was disgusting. With a sigh he dropped onto his back now he could only hear the slurping next to him. At least now he didn't have to watch. With an unlady like moan Ruka pulled back. Hanabusa could hear the ragged breathing still not daring to look at the intertwined bodies. Akatsuki may not feel anything for Ruka but he was still a male vampire who had not feed from someone in months.

The boy then noticed that a coat of ice had crept up the wall and collected on the ceiling. Hanabusa was disgruntled that he had let his gift slip to this level without notice. The ice vanished with twitch of his fingers. Maybe he could freeze Ruka's panties to the floor...

"Oi, Aido." Shiki called Hanabusa's attention. He had lost track of where they were in the game. It wasn't like he cared anymore, like Akatsuki he had grown bored.

Sitting up he saw most of the vampires watching him expectantly. Hanabusa immediately thought that his ice and crept out some place else. If only. The vampire noticed the bottle pointing towards himself. Joy. "This is getting dull. This is the last one for me." said while stretching his arms overhead to add credit to what was said. "Who is the unlucky soul this time?".

Akatsuki cleared his throat. "Great, now I'm going to have Ruka germs." The teen mumbled grumpily. To this point in the game Hanabusa had landed on his classmates for the second or forth time making the extreme kiss for him open mouth for seconds. Very tame and he was perfectly happy about that. At the beginning Hanabusa had been worried about the contact between Akatsuki and himself but nothing had happened. The love struck vampire was disappointed and slightly to say his dreams were more exciting.

He looked over at Akatsuki. His cousin looked particularly out of sorts with his hair especially messy and bruising lips all thanks to Ruka. Ruka seemed happy about her handiwork because she edged him on by saying; "Of course you would be the first to quit. I doubt you have ever held someone in your arms." She flipped her hair over she shoulder and continued with the snide comment. "I would say you wouldn't even know what to do with yourself. Aido, you are nothing but a spoilt child."

Akatsuki had always argued that Hanabusa gave in to taunts too easily, but this one he could hardly let slide. All night he had held back when it came to Akatsuki, he hadn't wanted to put any kind of detectable emotion into his stolen kisses. Oh well. Hanging his head in defeat it took him seconds to make up his mind.

"Was that really-" Akatsuki started to tell Ruka off but the look Hanabusa gave the vampire shut him up.

"Watch how it is supposed to be done Ruka."

Hanabusa crawled onto Akatsuki's lap just as Ruka had done dragging his body up until he reached Akatsuki's face. The taller one's eyes held no disgusted like Hanabusa sometimes worried about but instead held a playful glint, challenging Hanabusa to do his worst.

Here goes everything.

Hanabusa leaned in slowly all the while lazily wrapping his arms around Akatsuki's neck. It seemed like forever until their lips meet. Softly at first they kissed. It was gentler than the ones previously shared. Akatsuki's lips moved like silk across his own. It was comforting being this close to the other vampire, their bond had always been close and only growing with age. Akatsuki pushed forward telling Hanabusa to continue. Tentatively at first Hanabusa traced Akatsuki's bottom lips with his tongue. The taller vampire immediately parted his lips letting Hanabusa slip in. He squeezed his eyes tighter closed and pressed closer to his friend. Akatsuki greeted him with surprising enthusiasm their tongues danced playfully around each other, testing each other. Akatsuki grunted softly as Hanabusa ran his hands up and down his back. To his surprise Akatsuki placed his hands on Akatsuki's waist anchoring the smaller to himself.

Something sprang loose from Akatsuki's mind with the feel of Akatsuki's hands on him. With little resistance he pushed Akatsuki to the floor and continued to straddle the other vampire's hips. He let Akatsuki enter his mouth, his strong tongue continued to curl around his own. Hanabusa felt elated and tried to get the feeling across to Akatsuki. All of the frustration and tiredness of the last weeks edged out. Hot hands pulled up his sweater and roamed his back, scraping not so gently at his side. Both vampires let out a moan. It was never going to end Hanabusa thought as he rocked his hips against Akatsuki's creating the most needed friction on their hardening cock.

"Ouch! Aido!" Ruka whined.

He should have known no spell is forever.

Akatsuki sat up, pulling him up right as well. Looking around the room long icicles had collected on the ceiling for the second time that night. He was slipping up all over the place.

"Oh," Hanabusa said more than a little breathless. One of the icicles had fallen and he guessed hit Ruka, a real shame it hadn't gone through her. He wishes the ice away. Hanabusa was amazed, yet again he had lost control of his gift. Never once had he lost his grip while in bed with someone but a heated kiss was now enough?

The rest of the vampires where gawping in their own way at Akatsuki and himself. Ichijo was grinning.

Hanabusa looked back to Akatsuki. Without giving it too much thought he leaned in and stole one last kiss from Akatsuki. "That is how you kiss someone Ruka. And look, no slobber." Ichijo gleefully aimed at the girl in question.

Hanabusa ignored the others, again the two of them were in their own little world. Eyeing each other carefully for reactions, Akatsuki was smiling and he noticed Hanabusa's turquoise eyes where sparkling with delight even though his face was schooled. Hanabusa's kiss had been unexpected but now as he watched Hanabusa watch him expectantly for Akatsuki to say something the problems from the weeks past click into place. Chuckling he shakes his head. Hanabusa remained still, reading too much into things.

"Was that really so hard?" Akatsuki asks, pushing Hanabusa's wavy hair from his eyes. He had never seen his friend so happy. "Before it was like you didn't even want to touch me."

Hanabusa's heart was screaming to tell Akatsuki what was really what was going on. He felt like he was drowning, a chill racked his body. Hanabusa broke the eye connection because what he was about to say was hard enough without watching Akatsuki's amber eyes. "I didn't want to show you what I'm feeling." He started slowly like each word caused him pain. "I held back because," Hanabusa paused and was dreadfully aware how still and quiet the room was. Everyone was listening to what he was saying. "Because I can't control myself around you anymore."

Like someone had set fire to his legs Hanabusa stood up off of Akatsuki and fled the room. He didn't care if what he was doing was extremely childish, he just couldn't stand to see Akatsuki's look of unbelief. He was fed up with his emotions running away. There were few options for Hanabusa now. Jumping off a bridge and forgetting how to swim came to mind. The vampire took a sharp turn to the left and jumped out of window at the end of the hall. Maybe Akatsuki didn't understand what he meant anyway, it wasn't that he was slow, far from it but his cousin tended to be obvious at times.

Contemplating his word selection it seemed more likely that maybe Akatsuki didn't even understand what he had confessed. Looking around Hanabusa noticed he was standing in front of the gates to the school, the cool night air clearing his head. A dull headache continued to remind him that for once, this was not a dream. With a shaky breath Hanabusa placed his hands on the cold metal bars and with a fling the gate opened. Each step away from the gate hurt. Despite his worrying, going now would be worse. Akatsuki might come looking for him since the taller of the two knew his every hiding place. Making up his mind the aristocrat strode into the early morning hours. Hanabusa picked his hiding place carefully, some place where Akatsuki would never think to look.

The club's bouncer let Hanabusa in without delay, still wearing his beige cashmere sweater he struck an amazing figure. Alcohol worked slower on a vampire than humans, but if everything went the way Hanabusa wanted he wouldn't need to be buying too many himself. The thunderously loud music hurt his sensitive ears, fighting the urge to cover them he kept going deeper into the club. He was tiered and way past trying to stay out of trouble. No one he knew was around to watch him, the vampire planned to make use of this rare time. Least Akatsuki could have done was said something if not follow him. Stupid vampire.

"Well aren't you the cutest little morsel I've ever seen."

Hanabusa smiled coyly at the man. He was eyeing the vampire's body like a wolf watched their prey. The predator inside the teen found this comical. The man looked to the middle thirty, dark wavy hair shaded his green eyes. He was handsome Hanabusa guessed, but looked nothing like Akatsuki's ever changing aura. In Hanabusa's mind, "Kyrou" the man had later given his name, was adequately different from Akatsuki to do what he wanted.

"Buy me enough drinks and I'll let you have one bite." He purred.

His plan was simple, inebriation and a lot of sex. Only then would Hanabusa think about going back to the Moon dorm. And to Akatsuki.
