The sound of rain hitting the leaves and ground, surrounded the moment of silence between the two of them. As the warm air that they breathed out became the barrier between their lips. In this cold and wet night, the only warmth that Yuri could feel is the warmth of his palms caressing her cold cheeks. She closed her eyes, feeling the rough callouses on his palms scratching her face as she tries to nuzzle deeper into the warmth of his hands. The touch of his warmth is very comforting to her, almost like a sense of familiarity.
A moment later, Yuri realized the boldness that she exhibited in front of him, that she doesn't even knew about herself, she slowly open up her eyes, to only be seeing that he has been staring at her the whole time. Her cheeks flushed with a light tint of pink, knowing that he has been watching her trying to nuzzle her face onto his hands, but her hands were still holding onto his.
"Did you miss me?"
The soft huskiness of his voice whispered into her ears.
Thinking that he was talking about the day from the banquet that Yuri thought he didn't even noticed her, she nodded her head shyly.
He then slid one of his free hand that Yuri was not holding onto, to her waist, pulling her into his embrace. He bend down his head and shadowed Yuri's view, as the warmth of his lips touches hers.
Yuri stiffened up as she was shocked by the sudden warmth and softness that she is feeling on her cold pale lips. His red eyes watched her reaction stiffened up. Then he slowly nibbled her lips, before he bite on it hard. The sudden pain made her snapped out from her blank mind. The warm fresh blood that tickled down from her new wound, was soon licked by his warm wet tongue that went across her lips.
She watches his face as he distant their lips apart, and he smiles. His smile is different from the smile that he gave out when he was dealing with Lumen and Sabrina. His smile this time has reached his eyes. As he smiles, she can see a hint of her own blood on his lips, which made Yuri felt like he became very....seductive. And if he is seducing her, it worked.
"You...are you a vampire"
Yuri blurted out.
This made him let out a soft giggle.
"Well, my status is way superior than them."
"They actually exist?"
"Witch exist, so why not them?"
Yuri nodded her head in agreement, as she has forgotten that Vanessa herself is technically a witch also.
"Um...so why did you came out to the garden in the middle of the night?....and it's raining also..."
Yuri finally asked him after not being able to keep her curiosity to herself any longer.
He lazily leaned his back, back to the pillar, but this time, he is holding Yuri in his embrace. Both of his hands wrapped around her waist tightly, letting her weight leaned against him for support.
"Cause you'll come out if I come out"
"What if I don't?"
Yuri asked back as she was surprised with his answer
"You're obsessed with me, so you will..."
He said very lazily as one of his hands continues to hold her waist, while his other hand started to play with Yuri's curly hair, curling her curls with his finger.
Yuri became quiet all of a sudden. Afterall, she has noticed it herself also. Her eyes has been following him once she sees him in her view, and her mind has been thinking about him from time to time ever since the banquet. She has never been this conscious of someone's existence, nor anything in general, which made her a bit too afraid to admit, but it seems like he noticed it already.
"So you came out just to see me?"
Yuri dark brown eyes looked up to that person's face.
He didn't say anything, he just smiled, a soft smile.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Yuri looks at him brightly. After all these things that has happened between them from tonight, Yuri felt like she has to at least know his name. But he didn't say anything, he just smiled at her. The same soft smile, but this time, for some reason, Yuri felt a hint of sadness.
Yuri furrowed her brows together.
---Why is he keeping quiet? He doesn't want me to know?....But why?---
Yuri wanted to ask all these questions that are in her head, but she felt like even if she asked him, he still won't answer. She let out a big sigh from her heart and asked him
"Do you want to know mine?"
"Yuri"
"...So you knew?"
"Of course, why would I not know"
---But I don't know yours....---
Her brows furrowed even deeper, creating prominent edges between her eyebrows. Seeing her like this, made him let out another soft giggle. This time, his giggled annoyed her a bit, which made her look at him fiercely. The hand that was twirling and curling Yuri's hair, was raised up, and his index finger slightly pressed onto the wrinkled edge between her eyebrows to loosen up her frown.
"Don't be mad...it will occur back to you naturally..."
"What will?"
"Staying over here is safer for you. I'll bring you with me soon...once I finished dealing with those pests...so be patience, okay?"
Yuri didn't say anything, nor did she asked him any questions. She just stares as him with her dark pupils. There are a lot of things that are confusing coming out from his mouth, but Yuri doesn't want to ask. She felt like there's no need, because she felt like it. She doesn't care, because she felt like she doesn't need too. Everything will be okay, as long as he is here. But hearing that he will bring her with him soon, does made her heart flutter a bit. A small smile secretly escaped from her lips. Then she nodded her head, showing her that she will try to be patience.
Seeing that she agreed, he laid a kiss on her lips, but before she let him continue, she push his face back
"I can still feel the sting of the wound that you made on my lips...so don't make another one"
His smile became sly
"That one wasn't deep enough though. If I don't make another one, I'm afraid you will forget about me when I'm not with you"
"But I won't"
He just smiled and went back to her lips. He sucks onto her lips roughly, then playfully nibble her lower lip. This made Yuri slightly open her mouth apart as she tries to gasp for air, but he took this a chance and his tongue went in. The warmth of his tongue intertwined with hers as he licks the roof of her mouth before going back to her tongue again. She can feel the wetness between their lips and the sound between their lips and him sucking onto her lips and tongue became so vivid to her. She has never experience this feeling of warmth with anybody before, so she is not sure what is going on, but she likes it. However, at the same time, she felt weird. Like a slight itch in her belly.
As his playful nibs on her lips became harder and harder, to the point where she felt like a prey that was being tasted by the predator before swallowing them whole, she knew that he was planning to bite her again. So Yuri grabbed his long hair and pulled on it enough for him to back out.
"Wait! At least not on the lips again"
Yuri said as she was breathing hard to catch all the air and oxygen that she needed before he takes them away again.
"Then where?"
He looks at her seriously.
Seeing that he will still do it no matter what, she let go of his hair and put her hair together in one side, showing her naked nape.
"Here..."
Yuri said shyly.
At least she can cover it with her maid uniform, since it's high neck.
From above, he can see her smooth slender nape that is still wet from the rain, and her wet white nightgown sticking onto her skin. His red blood eyes darkened, as his hand slowly slid down the sleeve of her nightgown, from her shoulder to her arm. His fingers gently tickles the area of her bare skin that they ran across, from her shoulder to her nape. He can see the light brown freckles that scattered across her soft and smooth skin. His lips presses onto her shoulder, carefully tracing the warmth of his lips to her nape, then her ear, her cheek, her eyes, her nose....
She felt a bit ticklish as he did that, making her let out a giggle.
Seeing her giggle made him stopped what he was doing, and instead he stares at her with his darkened eyes.
"Do you like looking at me this much?"
"....love, not like"
"Ah~ then you should etch my face into your memory"
"...Already done"
After he said that, Yuri became happy, knowing that he has her in his mind.
She reached out her hand, and gently caress his face with a bright smile on her face. A smile that she rarely have, a smile that she doesn't even know she could make.
Her hand is cold compare to the warmth of his cheek, but he enjoy the touch that she is giving him.
"Yuri..."
Hearing him speaking out her name so suddenly made Yuri flustered.
"I feel like you're the real demon here, playing your seduction card so neatly..."
"...If becoming one can make this moment last forever, I think it's a good deal"
He laughed. A hearty good laugh.
"I'm glad..."
He whispered.
