Summary: Jun is the youngest son of a Royal House of vampires. Sho is only son of a rival Royal House. In order to maintain a peaceful status quo the Vampire Council decrees that the Royal Houses mate their sons with each other.

One enraged punch from Nagase effectively stopped Yokoyama’s mocking laughter as blood spurted from his split lips and his head lolled back against the wall.
“Get him out of here right now, before I rip his head off,” Nino barked.
With the assistance of the Council Agents, Nagase grabbed Yokoyama by his throat, dragging him out to the waiting van, leaving the other three to try and save Jun.
Tugging Jun away from Sho, who seemed frozen with shock, Satoshi shook him in a desperate attempt to rouse him, feeling as if his own heart was about to stop. Jun’s heart was still beating sluggishly, even though he no longer breathed.
Nino stepped up and slapped Jun hard, earning a growl from both Satoshi and Sho. “Nobody dies on my watch, so you'd better pull yourself together, or I will kick your ass, prince or no prince.”
To everyone’s relief Jun took a shuddering breath, his eyelids fluttering slightly, in response to Nino’s actions.
“He needs blood.” Nino ripped the cap off one of the bags of synthetic blood and tried to force Jun to drink, but Jun’s jaw was clenched tightly shut, refusing the liquid.
“Jun, please,” Satoshi begged, cradling his brother, fearing that he was about to lose him.
Sho urged Jun to eat, his voice desperate, “I love you Pet. Please try, for me.”
To their great relief, although he didn’t open his eyes, Jun began to drink. Slowly at first, but soon he was greedily gulping, until the bag was empty and even then, he still reached for more. He drank down three bags before exhaustion claimed him and he collapsed back into Satoshi’s embrace.
“He needs immediate medical attention,” Nino said, after they had exchanged relieved looks. “There is a private facility nearby under the control of the Council.”
“He should be at home.” Satoshi thrust his jaw out stubbornly, as he carefully lowered Jun to the bed.
“I’m not letting him out of my sight.” Sho responded with a faint growl.
Nino glared at them both, his eyes glowing dangerously, as if preparing for a fight.
“Please don't argue. I’m sorry for making you worry.” Jun’s faint voice stopped them in their tracks. He was awake, and looking at them with wide, frightened eyes.
"Jun." Sho and Satoshi reached for Jun simultaneously, each grabbing an arm, voices urgent as Jun's colour drained from his face.
“I don't feel right…” Jun was dripping with sweat, his face ashen. A moment later, Jun's body convulsed, barely managing a warning before he began to cough, red bubbling between Jun's lips and dribbling down the corner of his mouth.
Eyes widening in shock, Satoshi and Sho urgently helped Jun to lean forwards so that he wouldn't choke. They winced as Jun began to heave and regurgitate whatever blood he had consumed previously into his lap. Red quickly bloomed across the sheets as Sho watched helplessly at the situation. The excess amount of synthetic blood taken after a long period of deprivation had been more than what his system could handle.
Dread settled in their stomachs when Jun's head lolled backwards, eyes fluttering shut as his consciousness left him. They could feel his heart wavering as its beat faltered, unable to continue without its fuel.
“He must drink from one of us, or he will die.” Nino looked at the other two, knowing that it must be one of them.
“I'm his brother. It has to be me,” Satoshi declared.
“No.” Sho shook his head, not angry, but determined. “He said that he would only ever drink from his mate. It must be me.”
“You aren't his mate.”
“We are mated in our hearts, even if not officially. He came to me when he was in trouble, when he sought those he loved.” Sho looked at Nino and Satoshi, tears glimmering in his eyes, his raw emotion clearly visible to them both. His love for Jun outweighed any embarrassment he might feel at exposing his deepest feelings to virtual strangers, and allowing himself to show vulnerability to those who might use it against him later. “You know that this is what he would want. Please; he grows weaker with every second we delay,” Sho begged, almost frantic with the need to save the only person he had ever loved. If Jun died then he might as well die too.
Satoshi, who could feel his brother slipping further away with every passing moment, nodded. He pulled Jun up into a sitting position propped up against his chest as Sho slashed his own left wrist with his fangs.
Jun's initial resistance when Sho pressed the cut to his lips was feeble, but he stubbornly refused to take up the blood, either from lack of energy to do so, or perhaps delirium. "Pet, you have to take my blood. It's the only way." Sho implored anxiously, but Jun was far too gone to hear him. In desperation, Sho drew his blood into his own mouth and pressed his lips against Jun’s, his tongue conveying the blood into Jun’s mouth.
Struggling feebly, Jun tried to repel the intrusion; he feared that Yokoyama had returned to torment him once again, but he detected Sho and Satoshi’s familiar and comforting scents close nearby. He had no idea what was happening; he felt oddly disconnected from the world, as though he was behind a frosted plate glass window, unable to see or hear clearly, and lacking the strength to move his limbs. In his delirium he thought that he could hear Sho’s voice next to his ear, and he strained to hear the deep velvet tones that never failed to thrill.
“I love you and need you to be okay. Pet, please try and drink.” Sho stroked Jun’s cheek in an attempt to make him open his mouth. “If you love me, please don't leave.”
“S-Sho, I do l-love…” Jun mumbled weakly.
“Then drink.”
Tentatively at first, Jun licked at Sho’s wrist, struggling to make his throat work. The rich, hot liquid flooded his mouth, overwhelming his fading senses as the primal urge to feed flowed through him, consuming what little consciousness he had left. Dropping his fangs, Jun tore into the flesh on the inside of Sho’s wrist, deepening the jagged wound as he drew more and more of the life giving blood into his mouth.
Sho’s eyes dilated to pure black, veined with dark red, at the sensation of Jun’s lips wrapping around his torn flesh and sucking. He had drunk from others during sex, but had never before been the one giving himself to the other. A wave of blissful dizziness caused his head to spin and his heart to flutter as his body flushed with an intense and sensual heat.
Jun continued to take from Sho, his eyes closed with bliss, as the rich liquid slid down his throat. Running on pure feral instinct, taking what he needed without a thought of Sho’s welfare, he continued to feed even after Sho was no longer able to hold himself upright, swaying forwards until his head rested weakly on Jun’s shoulder.
“Jun, stop, that's enough!” Satoshi cried out, prying Jun’s mouth away.
Nino stepped in and supported Sho as he sagged, his face drained of all colour.
Jun’s eyes lost their wild glint as he fell back onto the bed, eyelids fluttering shut as the world receded and he was returned to darkness.

Jun stirred, struggling to raise himself. His throat felt like sandpaper and his head was pounding. “Thirsty.”
“Here.”
A straw was pressed to his lips, and Jun sipped, fighting against the urge to cough as the sweet apple juice flooded his mouth.
“Don’t drink too fast, because I am not giving you mouth-to-mouth if you choke yourself.”
“Nino?” Jun pried open his eyes, meeting the cool gaze of the Vampire Council’s agent. “Why are you here? And where are we anyway? I don’t remember what happened…”
The room was sparsely furnished and smelt strongly of antiseptic, but the bed that Jun was firmly tucked into was warm and comfortable, and the lighting was kind to his eyes.
“This is a private medical facility owned by the Council. You were in pretty bad shape when we brought you here, but it seems you’re on the mend.” Nino replied in a voice that was oddly chirpy and completely out of character.
A moment later Nino dropped the pretence, his eyes dark and filled with regret, “I failed you. I sensed that something was worrying you and I did nothing. You almost died because I wasn't paying attention. I promise that Yokoyama will never be able to hurt you or anyone else ever again.”
The words were spoken with such a quiet intensity that afterwards Jun thought he must have dreamt them.
“I’ll just go and tell Satoshi that you’re awake,” Nino added once again using his disconcertingly fake, cheerful voice.
“But why isn’t Satoshi here? I don’t understand,” Jun mumbled, confused by his brother’s absence and the fact that Nino was behaving so oddly. The room spun on its axis as he tried to pull his scattered thoughts together, but before he could speak, Nino was gone, leaving him all alone in the unfamiliar surroundings of the hospital room.
Jun’s chest and stomach hurt, the dull throbbing ache sending tiny pulses of fire that seemed to travel up his spine directly into his brain. He didn’t understand why he was in such a state; perhaps he’d been mugged on his way to buy the pastries for breakfast? That was the other thing; why wasn’t Sho here? It had seemed that there were genuine feelings between them when they’d made love, but Nino hadn’t even mentioned Sho at all. And who was this Yokoyama person?
As he attempted to wriggle upright, Jun placed weight on his left wrist, crying out at the pain that radiated up his arm; the bandage around his wrist was thick and restricted his movement.
The sharp jab of pain brought with it the ghosts of pain and torment, forgotten in his weakened state. Memories came flooding back, engulfing him in a maelstrom of emotion. It became impossible to breathe as a series of images played themselves out in his mind: Yokoyama and pain, Yokoyama and the vile words that he spewed against Sho, the endless burning of his left wrist as the silver ate into his flesh. But worst of all was the thought that he would die in that dank basement and never see Sho again.
Jun could hear someone crying fearfully, the noise filling the room with animalistic sounds of pain. He felt an odd sense of detachment when he realized that the sounds were coming from his own mouth, but could do nothing to stop himself.
When a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around him he didn't even question whom they belonged to, clinging onto the comfort offered as panic sucked the air from his lungs.
“Hush Jun, you're safe now. Yokoyama has been imprisoned by the Council; he can't hurt you anymore.”
It was Satoshi, holding Jun tightly to his chest, rubbing his back until his breathing steadied and the panic ebbed away.
When Jun was able, he pulled away from his brother and spoke his greatest fears out loud, unable to hold them within any longer. “But Yokoyama succeeded. His lies must have worked on Sho or else he would be here now. It's just like school all over again. They made my life unbearable with their snide words and their punches and kicks where the bruises didn't show...and the places where they touched me...but I wouldn't ever touch them in return...even if it meant extra punishment.”
At first Satoshi’s face paled at Jun’s words, before the ashen shade was gradually replaced by an angry flush that was emphasized by the blue sparks that flickered in his eyes. Jun had never spoken before about any sexual abuse by the pack of bullies at his school, but now Jun’s inability to form a lasting romantic relationship made sense, and his often inappropriate sexual encounters. Not wishing to distress Jun any further, Satoshi held his tongue; Nino would be more than happy to assist him in taking revenge when the time was right.
Satoshi couldn't make up to his brother for the torment he’d experienced in the past, but he could do his best to make sure that his future was a happy one.
“Jun, Sho is here in the hospital; I was visiting him when you woke and thanking him for what he did.”
“Sho is hurt? What happened? I don't remember...” Jun gripped Satoshi’s arm and stared wildly, his hair falling messily over his face. “Please tell me he is okay.”
“You were starved of blood, but the synthetic blood we fed you failed and the only way to save you was with real blood. You were so weak and we couldn't get you to feed and we were frantic. Sho persuaded you to drink from him and we were so relieved. He saved you and I will be forever grateful to him. His love persuaded you to drink when you were barely clinging to life.” Satoshi cleared his throat, trying to disguise the tears that he was barely holding in check. While Jun slept, Satoshi had spent time with Sho and they had reached a new understanding. It wasn't friendship just yet, but he was content that Sho loved his brother and would make a strong and protective mate.
“I fed from him? I don't remember it at all.” Jun had a faint recollection of the taste of bitter chocolate but nothing more. “But I still don't understand why he is in hospital. Did Yokoyama hurt him?”
“When you drank from him, he allowed you to take too much and he collapsed. He has been getting transfusions to restore his strength, but he is perfectly fine now.”
“I hurt him? I need to see him!” Jun struggled to climb out of bed, but his legs were too wobbly to support him.
Satoshi stopped Jun from falling onto the floor, and gently pushed him back onto the bed. “I'll grab a wheelchair and take you to him, so you can see for yourself that there's nothing for you to worry about.”
++++
“Please leave me here with him, Satoshi,” Jun said softly as he climbed onto the bed where Sho was sleeping. “I need to reassure myself that he is safe and well.”
“Fine, but Nino and I won't be far away.” Satoshi was grateful of the opportunity to speak to Nino about the sexual harassment that Jun had revealed to him earlier. It was about time those individuals got their comeuppance.
Sho was on his side, making it easy for Jun to curl up behind him, wrapping his arm tightly around his chest and pressing his nose into the back of his neck. Once the first tear trickled out of Jun’s eye, more soon followed, leaving a wet trail on Sho’s skin.
Sho stirred and spoke without turning, “Pet, why are you crying?”
“How did you know it was me?” Jun sniffled.
“I like to think that there is no one else who would just climb into bed with me without any notice.” Sho’s laugh rumbled deep in his chest. “Also, I would know your scent anywhere, my love.”
Jun let out a surprised and somewhat embarrassing squeak as Sho flipped over to face him, catching him in his arms and almost pressing their noses together.
“I'm so happy to see you looking so well, my love.” Sho’s eyes were like dark velvet as he gazed at Jun with undisguised adoration.
Jun examined Sho’s face, noting the dark the circles under his eyes and the exhaustion evident in the way he struggled to lift his hand to run his fingers through Jun’s hair.
“Satoshi told me that you saved me. I don't remember…”
“Perhaps that's for the best, my dear. The important thing is that you are alive and well, nothing else matters.” Sho gently cradled Jun’s injured wrist, ghosting his lips over the bandage.
Jun reached for Sho’s hand in return, tentatively running his fingers over the dressing on the inside of his wrist. “I did that to you, didn't I? You almost died because of me. I’m so sorry.”
“I offered myself to you freely, because I love you. There's no reason to apologize.” Sho’s eyes glimmered with unconcealed emotion. Jun’s expression was uncharacteristically vulnerable and it made him want to wrap him in his arms and hide him away from the world, and any possible future hurt.
“I saved my first time to drink for all these years, and now I don't even remember it.” Jun’s voice cracked, and he gulped back his tears.
“Pet, if you didn't drink, you would have died and I would have died right along with you, from a broken heart.”
Jun’s eyes grew large, and he inched even closer to Sho, losing himself in the dark depths of his eyes. “You love me that much?”
“More than life itself. I will always regret allowing you to be taken captive by that evil creature.”
“It was my fault. I went to the park instead of the bakery, and because of me you ended up in hospital.”
“It's already healed.” Sho peeled back the dressing to reveal a livid red scar on his inner wrist. It had been a conscious decision to retain the scar, rather than use his healing ability to remove all traces of the wound. This way he would always carry proof of the first time that Jun drank from him and also a reminder of the fact that he needed to be vigilant in his protection of his mate in the future. “Let me see how your wrist is healing.”
Sho slowly unwrapped the bindings from Jun’s arm, hissing at the burn mark that would brand his lover’s skin for life. His hatred for Yokoyama wouldn’t be quenched until the vampire was either dead or locked away for eternity.
Lifting Sho’s wrist, Jun caressed the jagged scar with the very tip of his finger before pressing it reverently to his lips. “I hurt you and scarred you.”
“It's not a scar, its proof of your love for me. You wouldn't have taken from me if you didn't already count me as your mate. I will always see it as your first declaration of love.”
Jun looked at the red ring of skin on his wrist where the silver cuff had left its own permanent reminder. “Whereas mine is…”
“A reminder of your bravery and of your incredible strength.” Sho cut off Jun’s words of doubt and self-loathing before he could even utter them.
“Me? Brave?”
“You resisted against Yokoyama’s abuse and attacks through sheer willpower. Nino has told me that Yokoyama confessed to the Vampire Council that he was foiled by the protective barrier you placed around yourself.”
“I dreamt of you,” Jun’s eyes closed as a tear slid down his cheek. “I remembered your scent and touch and it made me strong.”
“Then shall we make this bond permanent? Will you mate with me at the next full moon?” Sho’s eyes glowed with all of the love that he possessed, waiting breathlessly for Jun’s response.
"Sho..." Jun blinked away tears, before sinuously wrapping himself around his lover, pressing a series of tiny, loving, kisses to the underside of his throat, "Yes. Yes, of course I will."

The occupant of the cell barely looked up as the door opened; it was lunch time and the bags of synthetic blood were usually delivered around now. Not that he was very keen to eat. The blood was of poor quality, barely containing enough nutrients to keep him alive.
But there was no food and no guards; instead three vampires entered the tiny cell. He couldn't see them as more than dark silhouettes against a bright background of strong light; two smaller figures and one taller and broader. The artificial light of the corridor hurt his eyes which were accustomed to the darkness of his cell and made it impossible to see clearly.
Why were they here? Did they want to gloat over his downfall or had Sho finally come to his senses and come to rescue him? He would love to see the expression on the insect’s face when Sho took him as his mate instead.
But before he could ask any questions the hand of the taller one moved with lightning speed, claws slashing across his face, gouging through his flesh and removing the sight in his left eye.
His screams rang through the air as the smallest one pounced, rending his flesh as growls bubbled up from his chest.
++++
“Wake now, Pet.” Sho tweaked the lobe of Jun’s ear, earning himself a growl and a glare as Jun’s eyes snapped open. “And there’s no point in glaring at me like that. We’ve arrived.”
Jun sat up and looked around him muzzily, blinking at the pure silver light flowing over the darkened landscape as the almost full moon set on the horizon.
The journey to the hereditary mating site had taken most of the night and the sun would soon rise, making it imperative that they were safely inside and settled before the deadly light filled the sky.
Vampires avoided the elaborate marriage ceremonies favoured by humans; the important part of their lifelong bonding rituals took place behind closed doors as they conjoined in mating for the duration of the week surrounding the full moon.
Their handfasting ceremony had been simple, taking place in private, three months after Jun’s rescue, to ensure that both he and Sho were fully healed before the strenuous mating week, despite their eagerness to be mated as quickly as possible. Only their parents and siblings were present as witnesses, with Nino as the only exception, standing next to Satoshi in a place of honour, serving as the Vampire Council’s official representative. Even the solemnity of the occasion couldn't persuade him to abandon his bright red running shoes.
It hadn't taken Nino long to track down those who had tormented and assaulted Jun at school. In the ensuing weeks, they had suffered from quite a few misfortunes, and were likely to incur more in the near future - jobs were lost, loan applications turned down, affairs revealed, and one had even been mugged when stumbling home just before sunrise. He claimed that it was just fate finally catching up with them, but his sly smile contradicted his words and hinted at further retribution to come; filling Satoshi with a quiet sense of satisfaction. The last thing he’d wanted to do was open up old wounds, so Nino’s assistance in revenging his brother had been priceless.
Jun had been informed of Yokoyama’s mysterious death in custody, which had, according to official reports, apparently occurred when the blind on the outside of his cell window had fallen off. The unrepentant vampire had been accidentally incinerated in the strong sunlight, saving the Council the trouble of carrying out the death sentence they had already pronounced. Their penalties were harsh, but necessary, to keep order in a world where vampires mingled freely with their former prey.
When Jun initially heard the news he’d burst into hysterical laughter, followed by unquenchable anger, before bursting into relieved tears. Satoshi had tried to calm and comfort Jun, but it was only when Sho had taken him into his arms and murmured quiet words of love and reassurance, that Jun had calmed. Jun seemed to have finally made peace with his past, and Satoshi and the others wished to do nothing to disturb his new-found confidence.
Jun’s eyes widened at the sight of the three-storey stone building nestled deep within the forest by the side of a small waterfall fed lake, which was a clear azure during the day and glimmered like smoked glass at night. The eaves were much wider than usual, preventing sunlight from reaching the large windows, which were made from a special toughened glass that blocked the harmful rays of the sun just in case of accident; thus allowing a perfect view of the surrounding scenery that kept the occupants safe from harm. “I thought you said this was the rustic family cottage where your grandparents and then parents were mated?”
“It’s been expanded and improved a little in the eight hundred years since my parents mating ritual. My parents have gifted it to us, as it was gifted to them upon the occasion of their mating, and I expect you will wish to make your own changes when we return each year to renew our bond.”
“It’s beautiful.” Jun’s eyes shone, lit by a soft shade of purple. “This whole place is magical.”
“Nothing could compare to your beauty right now.”
“That is the cheesiest thing I have…” Jun’s playful words were cut off as Sho took him into his arms and kissed him into silence.
++++
Satin skin slid under Sho’s fingers as he pushed the soft robe off Jun’s left shoulder. Jun’s glossy hair hung free down his back, brushing past his shoulder blades and shimmering like a raven's wing. Sho could hear Jun’s heart thrumming with excitement and felt the fluttering of Jun’s pulse under the ball of his thumb as he wrapped his hand lightly around his neck.
Bright moonlight made Jun’s pale skin appear almost luminous as his robe dropped to the floor and Sho allowed his own silk robe to slide from his body and pool at his feet.
“Are you ready, Pet?” Sho’s breath was hot on the side of Jun’s neck, his voice deep and compelling as his eyes flickered with a deep burgundy hue.
“I love you, and trust you. My life is already yours,” Jun’s response was soft but assured.
Sho’s nails lengthened as he allowed his fangs to drop, encasing Jun’s neck and holding him immobile in his grasp as he licked at Jun’s mouth, encouraging him to drop his own fangs.
Eyes deepening to a dark, rich purple, Jun complied, exploring Sho’s fangs with the tip of his tongue. A gasp escaped Jun as Sho tangled his fingers in Jun’s hair, elongated nails catching hold of his smooth locks. Tugging his head to one side, Sho licked the frantically beating pulse point on the side of Jun’s neck.
Jun shuddered as Sho’s fangs pierced his skin; the flowing blood was caught on Sho’s tongue, and whatever escaped Sho’s attention pooled in the hollow of Jun’s collarbone. The sensation of Sho sucking on the punctures was one of exquisite pain. Jun could hear Sho’s racing heartbeat and breathed in Sho’s arousingly sweet and yet bitter scent.
Blood trickled from the corner of Sho’s mouth as he pulled away, his eyes burning with an unquenchable fire. He tilted his head, exposing his throat, “Drink.”
Jun hesitated for the briefest moment before instinct took over and he sank his fangs into Sho’s muscular neck. The taste of dark chocolate flooded his mouth; sweet, bitter, and utterly intoxicating, triggering a faint, but welcome memory of the first time he drank.
Something changed in Sho as Jun drew the blood into his mouth. The world receded until there was only Jun, and the growing desire to take him and make Jun his own, for eternity. He grabbed Jun and dragged him over to the huge bed standing in the centre of the room. It was an enormous four poster, draped with dark satin fabrics and made up with crisp white linens embroidered with the emblem of the Sakurai Royal House.
“You. Are. Mine.” Sho pushed Jun down onto the bed, straddling his hips, and running his eyes possessively over his soon-to-be mate.
Jun cried out as Sho raked his nails across his chest leaving a fine trail of red over the place where his heart was beating frantically. Jun’s eyes flared at the pain and he hissed, surging upwards and knocking Sho onto his back. All sense of self was forgotten as he bit down on Sho’s nipple, fangs sinking deep into the firm muscle in retaliation. Hot fluid flooded into his mouth, making every atom of his being feel as if it was afire.
Jun could feel Sho’s heart beating rapidly, the rush of air in his lungs, the blood pumping through his veins; and then there was a small prickling sensation in the back of his mind, and he could feel Sho’s lust, his love, his desire to mate and breed and consume Jun’s very soul. And the knowledge that Jun alone could make Sho feel that way made Jun lose control.
Pressing himself into the space between Sho legs, Jun leant down, licking the swollen head of Sho’s cock. The clear droplets of liquid leaking from the tip echoed the bittersweet taste of Sho’s blood.
Releasing a deep rumble of pleasure, Sho raked his nails through Jun’s hair; pressing his cock past Jun’s parted lips. The feeling of Jun’s fangs sliding along his heated flesh made his body tremble with pent-up desire.
Emboldened by Sho’s easy acceptance of his actions, Jun stroked his hand over the smooth skin of Sho’s inner thigh. Retracting his nails, Jun slid his fingers around Sho’s buttocks, humming around Sho’s cockhead as he pressed his index finger into Sho’s hole.
Caught up in a wave of pleasure, Sho seemed not to notice, until Jun released his cock and sank his teeth into his pectoral muscle, thrusting two fingers deeply into Sho’s body as the same time.
Sho growled and yanked Jun’s hair, detaching him from his chest and forcing him to withdraw his fingers. Using his body weight, he flipped Jun over and bared his fangs, feeling the blood trickling down his sternum. Jun strained towards Sho’s chest reaching in vain for the precious liquid.
"And what," Sho purred, "do you think you're trying to do, Pet?"
Hissing loudly in response, Jun struggled against Sho’s grasp, eyes flashing as he tried to free himself from the tight grip on his wrists. Sho’s hard cock was pressing into his hip, once again making Jun’s body tingle with the need to be filled and to be drunk from at the same time.
Beyond speech, Jun whined and whimpered, the distressed sounds making Sho loosen his grip infinitesimally. This tiny moment of weakness allowed to once again reverse their positions; pressing Sho’s back hard against the mattress.
Jun bent his head, lapping at the blood which trickled down Sho’s chest, nails sinking deep into the flesh of Sho’s upper arms as he held himself in place.
“Fuck yourself on my cock,” Sho rasped, once again gripping Jun’s long hair and pulling his head up level with his own.
Jun narrowed his eyes and hissed, nipping at Sho’s bottom lip and sucked at the blood that released from the wound. Sho moaned, his eyes sliding shut for a moment as intense waves of pleasure coursed through him, but Jun soon released his lip, intent on obeying his directions. Sitting up and propping his back against the intricately carved headboard of the bed, Sho helped Jun to straddle him, holding the base of his painfully engorged cock firmly in his hand as his lover began to draw him into his body.
“S-Sho, so big.” Jun’s eyes widened in pain as Sho’s cock breached his hole; it was much larger and thicker than his usual, already generous size, as expected during mating rites.
“That’s it Pet, take me all in. I know you can,” Sho crooned as he watched his engorged member slowly disappear as Jun lowered himself, his head thrown back in ecstasy and exposing his tempting throat to Sho’s predatory gaze.
Slowly Jun began to move, sliding himself along Sho’s length with tentative movements until he adjusted to the painful stretch as he took all of what Sho had to give into his straining body.
There was a split second where they paused, eyes locked together in silent communication before instinct once again took charge of their movements.
Snarling, Sho began to thrust his hips upwards, fucking into Jun at a relentless pace; his movements equalled by Jun’s frenzied undulations as he rapidly rose and fell, impaling himself repeatedly on Sho’s cock.
Jun’s eyes were glazed and burned with a deeply pulsing shade of violet as he grabbed Sho’s hand, pulling his already scarred wrist to his mouth and biting deeply.
Sho’s eyes flared with a pure carmine fire as he responded in kind, yanking Jun’s own wrist to him and sinking his fangs into the shiny skin of the burn mark.
The feeling was indescribable as their bodies and minds melted together with the need to take and be taken, give and be given.
Wrapping his hand tightly around Jun’s neck, Sho lent forward and pressed their lips together, the blood in their mouths mingling as their tongues tangled together.
The speed of Jun’s movements faltered momentarily as the sweetly bitter mingled blood slid down his throat, increasing his level of sensory perception to a level where it almost made the feeling of Sho’s blunt cockhead pounding against his prostate more than he could bear.
As if to compensate for Jun’s hesitation, Sho gripped Jun’s hips with his large hands as he help him to rise and fall against his cock as he sped up his thrusts into Jun’s writhing body. Although experiencing the overwhelming need to come, neither wanted to relinquish the powerful bond that was being forged in their minds, but it was impossible to resist the wave of heat that coursed through them.
Jun cried out, thick ropes of white filling the tiny space between their bodies as he came. Sho’s body convulsed, before freezing as he pumped his come into Jun’s twitching body.
As they orgasmed, the final strands of their mating bond knitted together in their minds. Their eyes flared red shot through with purple streaks, before they collapsed together into a swirling vortex of darkness.
++++
Sho came to his senses first, feeling Jun’s distress as he lay panting beside him, his skin littered with bite marks and scratches.
Ignoring the bites and scratches that stung his own skin, Sho pulled Jun into his arms, holding Jun’s limp body close to his chest and brushing back the damp tendrils of hair that hung over his face.
Jun’s eyes slowly opened, lids fluttering slightly before he focussed on Sho’s concerned face. “Mated? W-we are mates? I can feel you…”
“Yes Pet, we hold each other's hearts and minds.” Sho bent his head and began to gently lick at the wounds on Jun’s skin, soothing and healing them with his loving touch. “I hope I didn’t hurt you.”
His head spinning with new sensations and feeling slightly faint from Sho drinking from him, Jun swayed slightly as he leant backwards to gaze into Sho’s dark velvety eyes. “N-no, it was nothing that I didn’t enjoy. But I marked you too,” Jun traced his finger over a deeply bruised bite mark on the side of Sho’s neck.
“And it makes me proud to wear the marks caused by the intensity of your feelings,” Sho replied in soothing tones. Rest a little, while I tend to you and then you can take care of the worst of the bites on me, if you insist.”
Jun sighed and snuggled into his mate’s embrace as Sho massaged the back of his neck, the need to take and be taken momentarily quelled as they each adjusted to the new sensation of being half of a fully mated pair.

Parting Jun’s cheeks Sho slid his tongue along the crack, lapping at the come that was sliding down to the mattress. He slipped his tongue inside Jun’s gaping hole, sucking lightly while growling deep in the back of his throat. “I told you once before that I wanted to eat you all up.”
Writhing in Sho’s grasp, Jun hissed, clawing at the bloodstained sheets as he felt the heat rising in his body once more, his erection pressing painfully against the mattress as Sho forced his body down. As he felt Sho’s fangs bite deeply into the flesh on his hip he cried out, head spinning dizzily as he felt Sho drawing his blood out through the punctures.
Strong hands gripped Jun’s waist, raising his hips high enough to allow Sho’s thick cock entry. Sho gripped a handful of Jun’s hair pulling him upright as he kneeled behind him, nipping at his neck.
Jun snarled, turning his head and raking his fangs across the side of Sho’s neck, as Sho began to thrust into him. They had both lost count of the number of times they had done this as the days blurred into a constant round of fucking and feeding from each other.
Before long Sho shuddered and filled Jun with his release as he bit hard on his shoulder, never tiring of the taste of his sweet blood.
Jun mewled weakly, his own come coating Sho’s hand as Sho stroked him to completion. After Sho pulled out and turned Jun to face him, soothing the fresh bite marks, Jun grumbled, “Next time I'm taking you. As your mate it's my right.”
Sho unsuccessfully smothered his adoring chuckle at the determination on Jun’s face and in his voice, knowing that, no matter how much Jun protested, he loved to be dominated and his protests were only token.
++++
"I never noticed that mole before," Jun purred, rubbing the very tip of his fang over the perfectly circular dark dot on the side of Sho's right foot.
Jun grasped Sho's foot, running the very tip of his tongue over the tiny bump, before sinking his fangs into the inside of Sho's ankle.
They both moaned as the dark liquid surged into Jun's mouth.
Jun licked his lips, missing one droplet that trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Sho reached for Jun, gripping his hair and tugging him up to his level, sensuously licking Jun's lips before flipping them over on the bed so that their positions were reversed.
"Why do you always distract me just when I am about to take you?" Jun gasped, between lengthy kisses from his new mate.
"Because we both know that you love it when I am inside of you, making you mine," Sho replied, licking a long stripe up the side of Jun's neck, before sinking his fangs into the delicate skin surrounding the mole on the left side.
As the moon was now on the wane, their love making was filled with less violent urgency and more tenderness, as once again Jun surrendered himself to Sho; relishing the feeling of being utterly consumed by his passion and love.
++++
“Jun, what are you doing?” Sho caught hold of Jun, who had been wandering around the cottage with a distracted expression. “Come back to bed.” He pushed Jun’s hair aside and pressed a kiss to his nape.
Jun, who was clad only in a bedsheet, wrapped around him toga style, gazed at Sho with dreamy eyes. “I was just thinking about how we can change some of these rooms around.”
“Really?” Sho was only half listening, being rather more interested in figuring out how to untie the twisted knot holding the sheet closed.
“Hmm, for instance, the small room next to the master suite would make a perfect nursery.”
Sho’s hands dropped from around Jun’s waist, blinking in confusion as his stomach churned with nerves. He knew that Jun would be able to sense his heart racing as he tried to come up with a suitable response.
“Nursery? You’re already planning for us to breed when we are still in our mating week? Jun I love you, and maybe one day…but so soon…I mean...we need time to…to”
The look of panic on Sho’s face as he backed away from Jun was priceless, at least to Jun who burst into laughter. “Are you seriously going to be that easy to tease? If so, being your mate is going to be awesome. Don't worry, I have no plans to breed for the next three or four hundred years or so.”
“Teasing? You were teasing?” Sho growled, lifting Jun up and tossing him over his shoulder. “I’ll show you teasing,” he added as he carried him towards the bedroom.
After tossing Jun down onto the bed with a bounce, Sho pressed him into the mattress, nipping at his neck as relief flooded through him. A moment later a vision of a tiny replica of Jun, with magenta eyes, calling him ‘Papa’ floated into his consciousness.
“Jun! Stop that!” Sho shook his head to dispel the thoughts that Jun had planted in his mind.
As Jun looked up at him coyly through the curtain of his long lashes, breaking into a fit of giggles, Sho growled before wrestling him into a very happy and sated state of submission.

One enraged punch from Nagase effectively stopped Yokoyama’s mocking laughter as blood spurted from his split lips and his head lolled back against the wall.
“Get him out of here right now, before I rip his head off,” Nino barked.
With the assistance of the Council Agents, Nagase grabbed Yokoyama by his throat, dragging him out to the waiting van, leaving the other three to try and save Jun.
Tugging Jun away from Sho, who seemed frozen with shock, Satoshi shook him in a desperate attempt to rouse him, feeling as if his own heart was about to stop. Jun’s heart was still beating sluggishly, even though he no longer breathed.
Nino stepped up and slapped Jun hard, earning a growl from both Satoshi and Sho. “Nobody dies on my watch, so you'd better pull yourself together, or I will kick your ass, prince or no prince.”
To everyone’s relief Jun took a shuddering breath, his eyelids fluttering slightly, in response to Nino’s actions.
“He needs blood.” Nino ripped the cap off one of the bags of synthetic blood and tried to force Jun to drink, but Jun’s jaw was clenched tightly shut, refusing the liquid.
“Jun, please,” Satoshi begged, cradling his brother, fearing that he was about to lose him.
Sho urged Jun to eat, his voice desperate, “I love you Pet. Please try, for me.”
To their great relief, although he didn’t open his eyes, Jun began to drink. Slowly at first, but soon he was greedily gulping, until the bag was empty and even then, he still reached for more. He drank down three bags before exhaustion claimed him and he collapsed back into Satoshi’s embrace.
“He needs immediate medical attention,” Nino said, after they had exchanged relieved looks. “There is a private facility nearby under the control of the Council.”
“He should be at home.” Satoshi thrust his jaw out stubbornly, as he carefully lowered Jun to the bed.
“I’m not letting him out of my sight.” Sho responded with a faint growl.
Nino glared at them both, his eyes glowing dangerously, as if preparing for a fight.
“Please don't argue. I’m sorry for making you worry.” Jun’s faint voice stopped them in their tracks. He was awake, and looking at them with wide, frightened eyes.
"Jun." Sho and Satoshi reached for Jun simultaneously, each grabbing an arm, voices urgent as Jun's colour drained from his face.
“I don't feel right…” Jun was dripping with sweat, his face ashen. A moment later, Jun's body convulsed, barely managing a warning before he began to cough, red bubbling between Jun's lips and dribbling down the corner of his mouth.
Eyes widening in shock, Satoshi and Sho urgently helped Jun to lean forwards so that he wouldn't choke. They winced as Jun began to heave and regurgitate whatever blood he had consumed previously into his lap. Red quickly bloomed across the sheets as Sho watched helplessly at the situation. The excess amount of synthetic blood taken after a long period of deprivation had been more than what his system could handle.
Dread settled in their stomachs when Jun's head lolled backwards, eyes fluttering shut as his consciousness left him. They could feel his heart wavering as its beat faltered, unable to continue without its fuel.
“He must drink from one of us, or he will die.” Nino looked at the other two, knowing that it must be one of them.
“I'm his brother. It has to be me,” Satoshi declared.
“No.” Sho shook his head, not angry, but determined. “He said that he would only ever drink from his mate. It must be me.”
“You aren't his mate.”
“We are mated in our hearts, even if not officially. He came to me when he was in trouble, when he sought those he loved.” Sho looked at Nino and Satoshi, tears glimmering in his eyes, his raw emotion clearly visible to them both. His love for Jun outweighed any embarrassment he might feel at exposing his deepest feelings to virtual strangers, and allowing himself to show vulnerability to those who might use it against him later. “You know that this is what he would want. Please; he grows weaker with every second we delay,” Sho begged, almost frantic with the need to save the only person he had ever loved. If Jun died then he might as well die too.
Satoshi, who could feel his brother slipping further away with every passing moment, nodded. He pulled Jun up into a sitting position propped up against his chest as Sho slashed his own left wrist with his fangs.
Jun's initial resistance when Sho pressed the cut to his lips was feeble, but he stubbornly refused to take up the blood, either from lack of energy to do so, or perhaps delirium. "Pet, you have to take my blood. It's the only way." Sho implored anxiously, but Jun was far too gone to hear him. In desperation, Sho drew his blood into his own mouth and pressed his lips against Jun’s, his tongue conveying the blood into Jun’s mouth.
Struggling feebly, Jun tried to repel the intrusion; he feared that Yokoyama had returned to torment him once again, but he detected Sho and Satoshi’s familiar and comforting scents close nearby. He had no idea what was happening; he felt oddly disconnected from the world, as though he was behind a frosted plate glass window, unable to see or hear clearly, and lacking the strength to move his limbs. In his delirium he thought that he could hear Sho’s voice next to his ear, and he strained to hear the deep velvet tones that never failed to thrill.
“I love you and need you to be okay. Pet, please try and drink.” Sho stroked Jun’s cheek in an attempt to make him open his mouth. “If you love me, please don't leave.”
“S-Sho, I do l-love…” Jun mumbled weakly.
“Then drink.”
Tentatively at first, Jun licked at Sho’s wrist, struggling to make his throat work. The rich, hot liquid flooded his mouth, overwhelming his fading senses as the primal urge to feed flowed through him, consuming what little consciousness he had left. Dropping his fangs, Jun tore into the flesh on the inside of Sho’s wrist, deepening the jagged wound as he drew more and more of the life giving blood into his mouth.
Sho’s eyes dilated to pure black, veined with dark red, at the sensation of Jun’s lips wrapping around his torn flesh and sucking. He had drunk from others during sex, but had never before been the one giving himself to the other. A wave of blissful dizziness caused his head to spin and his heart to flutter as his body flushed with an intense and sensual heat.
Jun continued to take from Sho, his eyes closed with bliss, as the rich liquid slid down his throat. Running on pure feral instinct, taking what he needed without a thought of Sho’s welfare, he continued to feed even after Sho was no longer able to hold himself upright, swaying forwards until his head rested weakly on Jun’s shoulder.
“Jun, stop, that's enough!” Satoshi cried out, prying Jun’s mouth away.
Nino stepped in and supported Sho as he sagged, his face drained of all colour.
Jun’s eyes lost their wild glint as he fell back onto the bed, eyelids fluttering shut as the world receded and he was returned to darkness.
++++
Jun stirred, struggling to raise himself. His throat felt like sandpaper and his head was pounding. “Thirsty.”
“Here.”
A straw was pressed to his lips, and Jun sipped, fighting against the urge to cough as the sweet apple juice flooded his mouth.
“Don’t drink too fast, because I am not giving you mouth-to-mouth if you choke yourself.”
“Nino?” Jun pried open his eyes, meeting the cool gaze of the Vampire Council’s agent. “Why are you here? And where are we anyway? I don’t remember what happened…”
The room was sparsely furnished and smelt strongly of antiseptic, but the bed that Jun was firmly tucked into was warm and comfortable, and the lighting was kind to his eyes.
“This is a private medical facility owned by the Council. You were in pretty bad shape when we brought you here, but it seems you’re on the mend.” Nino replied in a voice that was oddly chirpy and completely out of character.
A moment later Nino dropped the pretence, his eyes dark and filled with regret, “I failed you. I sensed that something was worrying you and I did nothing. You almost died because I wasn't paying attention. I promise that Yokoyama will never be able to hurt you or anyone else ever again.”
The words were spoken with such a quiet intensity that afterwards Jun thought he must have dreamt them.
“I’ll just go and tell Satoshi that you’re awake,” Nino added once again using his disconcertingly fake, cheerful voice.
“But why isn’t Satoshi here? I don’t understand,” Jun mumbled, confused by his brother’s absence and the fact that Nino was behaving so oddly. The room spun on its axis as he tried to pull his scattered thoughts together, but before he could speak, Nino was gone, leaving him all alone in the unfamiliar surroundings of the hospital room.
Jun’s chest and stomach hurt, the dull throbbing ache sending tiny pulses of fire that seemed to travel up his spine directly into his brain. He didn’t understand why he was in such a state; perhaps he’d been mugged on his way to buy the pastries for breakfast? That was the other thing; why wasn’t Sho here? It had seemed that there were genuine feelings between them when they’d made love, but Nino hadn’t even mentioned Sho at all. And who was this Yokoyama person?
As he attempted to wriggle upright, Jun placed weight on his left wrist, crying out at the pain that radiated up his arm; the bandage around his wrist was thick and restricted his movement.
The sharp jab of pain brought with it the ghosts of pain and torment, forgotten in his weakened state. Memories came flooding back, engulfing him in a maelstrom of emotion. It became impossible to breathe as a series of images played themselves out in his mind: Yokoyama and pain, Yokoyama and the vile words that he spewed against Sho, the endless burning of his left wrist as the silver ate into his flesh. But worst of all was the thought that he would die in that dank basement and never see Sho again.
Jun could hear someone crying fearfully, the noise filling the room with animalistic sounds of pain. He felt an odd sense of detachment when he realized that the sounds were coming from his own mouth, but could do nothing to stop himself.
When a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around him he didn't even question whom they belonged to, clinging onto the comfort offered as panic sucked the air from his lungs.
“Hush Jun, you're safe now. Yokoyama has been imprisoned by the Council; he can't hurt you anymore.”
It was Satoshi, holding Jun tightly to his chest, rubbing his back until his breathing steadied and the panic ebbed away.
When Jun was able, he pulled away from his brother and spoke his greatest fears out loud, unable to hold them within any longer. “But Yokoyama succeeded. His lies must have worked on Sho or else he would be here now. It's just like school all over again. They made my life unbearable with their snide words and their punches and kicks where the bruises didn't show...and the places where they touched me...but I wouldn't ever touch them in return...even if it meant extra punishment.”
At first Satoshi’s face paled at Jun’s words, before the ashen shade was gradually replaced by an angry flush that was emphasized by the blue sparks that flickered in his eyes. Jun had never spoken before about any sexual abuse by the pack of bullies at his school, but now Jun’s inability to form a lasting romantic relationship made sense, and his often inappropriate sexual encounters. Not wishing to distress Jun any further, Satoshi held his tongue; Nino would be more than happy to assist him in taking revenge when the time was right.
Satoshi couldn't make up to his brother for the torment he’d experienced in the past, but he could do his best to make sure that his future was a happy one.
“Jun, Sho is here in the hospital; I was visiting him when you woke and thanking him for what he did.”
“Sho is hurt? What happened? I don't remember...” Jun gripped Satoshi’s arm and stared wildly, his hair falling messily over his face. “Please tell me he is okay.”
“You were starved of blood, but the synthetic blood we fed you failed and the only way to save you was with real blood. You were so weak and we couldn't get you to feed and we were frantic. Sho persuaded you to drink from him and we were so relieved. He saved you and I will be forever grateful to him. His love persuaded you to drink when you were barely clinging to life.” Satoshi cleared his throat, trying to disguise the tears that he was barely holding in check. While Jun slept, Satoshi had spent time with Sho and they had reached a new understanding. It wasn't friendship just yet, but he was content that Sho loved his brother and would make a strong and protective mate.
“I fed from him? I don't remember it at all.” Jun had a faint recollection of the taste of bitter chocolate but nothing more. “But I still don't understand why he is in hospital. Did Yokoyama hurt him?”
“When you drank from him, he allowed you to take too much and he collapsed. He has been getting transfusions to restore his strength, but he is perfectly fine now.”
“I hurt him? I need to see him!” Jun struggled to climb out of bed, but his legs were too wobbly to support him.
Satoshi stopped Jun from falling onto the floor, and gently pushed him back onto the bed. “I'll grab a wheelchair and take you to him, so you can see for yourself that there's nothing for you to worry about.”
++++
“Please leave me here with him, Satoshi,” Jun said softly as he climbed onto the bed where Sho was sleeping. “I need to reassure myself that he is safe and well.”
“Fine, but Nino and I won't be far away.” Satoshi was grateful of the opportunity to speak to Nino about the sexual harassment that Jun had revealed to him earlier. It was about time those individuals got their comeuppance.
Sho was on his side, making it easy for Jun to curl up behind him, wrapping his arm tightly around his chest and pressing his nose into the back of his neck. Once the first tear trickled out of Jun’s eye, more soon followed, leaving a wet trail on Sho’s skin.
Sho stirred and spoke without turning, “Pet, why are you crying?”
“How did you know it was me?” Jun sniffled.
“I like to think that there is no one else who would just climb into bed with me without any notice.” Sho’s laugh rumbled deep in his chest. “Also, I would know your scent anywhere, my love.”
Jun let out a surprised and somewhat embarrassing squeak as Sho flipped over to face him, catching him in his arms and almost pressing their noses together.
“I'm so happy to see you looking so well, my love.” Sho’s eyes were like dark velvet as he gazed at Jun with undisguised adoration.
Jun examined Sho’s face, noting the dark the circles under his eyes and the exhaustion evident in the way he struggled to lift his hand to run his fingers through Jun’s hair.
“Satoshi told me that you saved me. I don't remember…”
“Perhaps that's for the best, my dear. The important thing is that you are alive and well, nothing else matters.” Sho gently cradled Jun’s injured wrist, ghosting his lips over the bandage.
Jun reached for Sho’s hand in return, tentatively running his fingers over the dressing on the inside of his wrist. “I did that to you, didn't I? You almost died because of me. I’m so sorry.”
“I offered myself to you freely, because I love you. There's no reason to apologize.” Sho’s eyes glimmered with unconcealed emotion. Jun’s expression was uncharacteristically vulnerable and it made him want to wrap him in his arms and hide him away from the world, and any possible future hurt.
“I saved my first time to drink for all these years, and now I don't even remember it.” Jun’s voice cracked, and he gulped back his tears.
“Pet, if you didn't drink, you would have died and I would have died right along with you, from a broken heart.”
Jun’s eyes grew large, and he inched even closer to Sho, losing himself in the dark depths of his eyes. “You love me that much?”
“More than life itself. I will always regret allowing you to be taken captive by that evil creature.”
“It was my fault. I went to the park instead of the bakery, and because of me you ended up in hospital.”
“It's already healed.” Sho peeled back the dressing to reveal a livid red scar on his inner wrist. It had been a conscious decision to retain the scar, rather than use his healing ability to remove all traces of the wound. This way he would always carry proof of the first time that Jun drank from him and also a reminder of the fact that he needed to be vigilant in his protection of his mate in the future. “Let me see how your wrist is healing.”
Sho slowly unwrapped the bindings from Jun’s arm, hissing at the burn mark that would brand his lover’s skin for life. His hatred for Yokoyama wouldn’t be quenched until the vampire was either dead or locked away for eternity.
Lifting Sho’s wrist, Jun caressed the jagged scar with the very tip of his finger before pressing it reverently to his lips. “I hurt you and scarred you.”
“It's not a scar, its proof of your love for me. You wouldn't have taken from me if you didn't already count me as your mate. I will always see it as your first declaration of love.”
Jun looked at the red ring of skin on his wrist where the silver cuff had left its own permanent reminder. “Whereas mine is…”
“A reminder of your bravery and of your incredible strength.” Sho cut off Jun’s words of doubt and self-loathing before he could even utter them.
“Me? Brave?”
“You resisted against Yokoyama’s abuse and attacks through sheer willpower. Nino has told me that Yokoyama confessed to the Vampire Council that he was foiled by the protective barrier you placed around yourself.”
“I dreamt of you,” Jun’s eyes closed as a tear slid down his cheek. “I remembered your scent and touch and it made me strong.”
“Then shall we make this bond permanent? Will you mate with me at the next full moon?” Sho’s eyes glowed with all of the love that he possessed, waiting breathlessly for Jun’s response.
"Sho..." Jun blinked away tears, before sinuously wrapping himself around his lover, pressing a series of tiny, loving, kisses to the underside of his throat, "Yes. Yes, of course I will."

The occupant of the cell barely looked up as the door opened; it was lunch time and the bags of synthetic blood were usually delivered around now. Not that he was very keen to eat. The blood was of poor quality, barely containing enough nutrients to keep him alive.
But there was no food and no guards; instead three vampires entered the tiny cell. He couldn't see them as more than dark silhouettes against a bright background of strong light; two smaller figures and one taller and broader. The artificial light of the corridor hurt his eyes which were accustomed to the darkness of his cell and made it impossible to see clearly.
Why were they here? Did they want to gloat over his downfall or had Sho finally come to his senses and come to rescue him? He would love to see the expression on the insect’s face when Sho took him as his mate instead.
But before he could ask any questions the hand of the taller one moved with lightning speed, claws slashing across his face, gouging through his flesh and removing the sight in his left eye.
His screams rang through the air as the smallest one pounced, rending his flesh as growls bubbled up from his chest.
++++
“Wake now, Pet.” Sho tweaked the lobe of Jun’s ear, earning himself a growl and a glare as Jun’s eyes snapped open. “And there’s no point in glaring at me like that. We’ve arrived.”
Jun sat up and looked around him muzzily, blinking at the pure silver light flowing over the darkened landscape as the almost full moon set on the horizon.
The journey to the hereditary mating site had taken most of the night and the sun would soon rise, making it imperative that they were safely inside and settled before the deadly light filled the sky.
Vampires avoided the elaborate marriage ceremonies favoured by humans; the important part of their lifelong bonding rituals took place behind closed doors as they conjoined in mating for the duration of the week surrounding the full moon.
Their handfasting ceremony had been simple, taking place in private, three months after Jun’s rescue, to ensure that both he and Sho were fully healed before the strenuous mating week, despite their eagerness to be mated as quickly as possible. Only their parents and siblings were present as witnesses, with Nino as the only exception, standing next to Satoshi in a place of honour, serving as the Vampire Council’s official representative. Even the solemnity of the occasion couldn't persuade him to abandon his bright red running shoes.
It hadn't taken Nino long to track down those who had tormented and assaulted Jun at school. In the ensuing weeks, they had suffered from quite a few misfortunes, and were likely to incur more in the near future - jobs were lost, loan applications turned down, affairs revealed, and one had even been mugged when stumbling home just before sunrise. He claimed that it was just fate finally catching up with them, but his sly smile contradicted his words and hinted at further retribution to come; filling Satoshi with a quiet sense of satisfaction. The last thing he’d wanted to do was open up old wounds, so Nino’s assistance in revenging his brother had been priceless.
Jun had been informed of Yokoyama’s mysterious death in custody, which had, according to official reports, apparently occurred when the blind on the outside of his cell window had fallen off. The unrepentant vampire had been accidentally incinerated in the strong sunlight, saving the Council the trouble of carrying out the death sentence they had already pronounced. Their penalties were harsh, but necessary, to keep order in a world where vampires mingled freely with their former prey.
When Jun initially heard the news he’d burst into hysterical laughter, followed by unquenchable anger, before bursting into relieved tears. Satoshi had tried to calm and comfort Jun, but it was only when Sho had taken him into his arms and murmured quiet words of love and reassurance, that Jun had calmed. Jun seemed to have finally made peace with his past, and Satoshi and the others wished to do nothing to disturb his new-found confidence.
Jun’s eyes widened at the sight of the three-storey stone building nestled deep within the forest by the side of a small waterfall fed lake, which was a clear azure during the day and glimmered like smoked glass at night. The eaves were much wider than usual, preventing sunlight from reaching the large windows, which were made from a special toughened glass that blocked the harmful rays of the sun just in case of accident; thus allowing a perfect view of the surrounding scenery that kept the occupants safe from harm. “I thought you said this was the rustic family cottage where your grandparents and then parents were mated?”
“It’s been expanded and improved a little in the eight hundred years since my parents mating ritual. My parents have gifted it to us, as it was gifted to them upon the occasion of their mating, and I expect you will wish to make your own changes when we return each year to renew our bond.”
“It’s beautiful.” Jun’s eyes shone, lit by a soft shade of purple. “This whole place is magical.”
“Nothing could compare to your beauty right now.”
“That is the cheesiest thing I have…” Jun’s playful words were cut off as Sho took him into his arms and kissed him into silence.
++++
Satin skin slid under Sho’s fingers as he pushed the soft robe off Jun’s left shoulder. Jun’s glossy hair hung free down his back, brushing past his shoulder blades and shimmering like a raven's wing. Sho could hear Jun’s heart thrumming with excitement and felt the fluttering of Jun’s pulse under the ball of his thumb as he wrapped his hand lightly around his neck.
Bright moonlight made Jun’s pale skin appear almost luminous as his robe dropped to the floor and Sho allowed his own silk robe to slide from his body and pool at his feet.
“Are you ready, Pet?” Sho’s breath was hot on the side of Jun’s neck, his voice deep and compelling as his eyes flickered with a deep burgundy hue.
“I love you, and trust you. My life is already yours,” Jun’s response was soft but assured.
Sho’s nails lengthened as he allowed his fangs to drop, encasing Jun’s neck and holding him immobile in his grasp as he licked at Jun’s mouth, encouraging him to drop his own fangs.
Eyes deepening to a dark, rich purple, Jun complied, exploring Sho’s fangs with the tip of his tongue. A gasp escaped Jun as Sho tangled his fingers in Jun’s hair, elongated nails catching hold of his smooth locks. Tugging his head to one side, Sho licked the frantically beating pulse point on the side of Jun’s neck.
Jun shuddered as Sho’s fangs pierced his skin; the flowing blood was caught on Sho’s tongue, and whatever escaped Sho’s attention pooled in the hollow of Jun’s collarbone. The sensation of Sho sucking on the punctures was one of exquisite pain. Jun could hear Sho’s racing heartbeat and breathed in Sho’s arousingly sweet and yet bitter scent.
Blood trickled from the corner of Sho’s mouth as he pulled away, his eyes burning with an unquenchable fire. He tilted his head, exposing his throat, “Drink.”
Jun hesitated for the briefest moment before instinct took over and he sank his fangs into Sho’s muscular neck. The taste of dark chocolate flooded his mouth; sweet, bitter, and utterly intoxicating, triggering a faint, but welcome memory of the first time he drank.
Something changed in Sho as Jun drew the blood into his mouth. The world receded until there was only Jun, and the growing desire to take him and make Jun his own, for eternity. He grabbed Jun and dragged him over to the huge bed standing in the centre of the room. It was an enormous four poster, draped with dark satin fabrics and made up with crisp white linens embroidered with the emblem of the Sakurai Royal House.
“You. Are. Mine.” Sho pushed Jun down onto the bed, straddling his hips, and running his eyes possessively over his soon-to-be mate.
Jun cried out as Sho raked his nails across his chest leaving a fine trail of red over the place where his heart was beating frantically. Jun’s eyes flared at the pain and he hissed, surging upwards and knocking Sho onto his back. All sense of self was forgotten as he bit down on Sho’s nipple, fangs sinking deep into the firm muscle in retaliation. Hot fluid flooded into his mouth, making every atom of his being feel as if it was afire.
Jun could feel Sho’s heart beating rapidly, the rush of air in his lungs, the blood pumping through his veins; and then there was a small prickling sensation in the back of his mind, and he could feel Sho’s lust, his love, his desire to mate and breed and consume Jun’s very soul. And the knowledge that Jun alone could make Sho feel that way made Jun lose control.
Pressing himself into the space between Sho legs, Jun leant down, licking the swollen head of Sho’s cock. The clear droplets of liquid leaking from the tip echoed the bittersweet taste of Sho’s blood.
Releasing a deep rumble of pleasure, Sho raked his nails through Jun’s hair; pressing his cock past Jun’s parted lips. The feeling of Jun’s fangs sliding along his heated flesh made his body tremble with pent-up desire.
Emboldened by Sho’s easy acceptance of his actions, Jun stroked his hand over the smooth skin of Sho’s inner thigh. Retracting his nails, Jun slid his fingers around Sho’s buttocks, humming around Sho’s cockhead as he pressed his index finger into Sho’s hole.
Caught up in a wave of pleasure, Sho seemed not to notice, until Jun released his cock and sank his teeth into his pectoral muscle, thrusting two fingers deeply into Sho’s body as the same time.
Sho growled and yanked Jun’s hair, detaching him from his chest and forcing him to withdraw his fingers. Using his body weight, he flipped Jun over and bared his fangs, feeling the blood trickling down his sternum. Jun strained towards Sho’s chest reaching in vain for the precious liquid.
"And what," Sho purred, "do you think you're trying to do, Pet?"
Hissing loudly in response, Jun struggled against Sho’s grasp, eyes flashing as he tried to free himself from the tight grip on his wrists. Sho’s hard cock was pressing into his hip, once again making Jun’s body tingle with the need to be filled and to be drunk from at the same time.
Beyond speech, Jun whined and whimpered, the distressed sounds making Sho loosen his grip infinitesimally. This tiny moment of weakness allowed to once again reverse their positions; pressing Sho’s back hard against the mattress.
Jun bent his head, lapping at the blood which trickled down Sho’s chest, nails sinking deep into the flesh of Sho’s upper arms as he held himself in place.
“Fuck yourself on my cock,” Sho rasped, once again gripping Jun’s long hair and pulling his head up level with his own.
Jun narrowed his eyes and hissed, nipping at Sho’s bottom lip and sucked at the blood that released from the wound. Sho moaned, his eyes sliding shut for a moment as intense waves of pleasure coursed through him, but Jun soon released his lip, intent on obeying his directions. Sitting up and propping his back against the intricately carved headboard of the bed, Sho helped Jun to straddle him, holding the base of his painfully engorged cock firmly in his hand as his lover began to draw him into his body.
“S-Sho, so big.” Jun’s eyes widened in pain as Sho’s cock breached his hole; it was much larger and thicker than his usual, already generous size, as expected during mating rites.
“That’s it Pet, take me all in. I know you can,” Sho crooned as he watched his engorged member slowly disappear as Jun lowered himself, his head thrown back in ecstasy and exposing his tempting throat to Sho’s predatory gaze.
Slowly Jun began to move, sliding himself along Sho’s length with tentative movements until he adjusted to the painful stretch as he took all of what Sho had to give into his straining body.
There was a split second where they paused, eyes locked together in silent communication before instinct once again took charge of their movements.
Snarling, Sho began to thrust his hips upwards, fucking into Jun at a relentless pace; his movements equalled by Jun’s frenzied undulations as he rapidly rose and fell, impaling himself repeatedly on Sho’s cock.
Jun’s eyes were glazed and burned with a deeply pulsing shade of violet as he grabbed Sho’s hand, pulling his already scarred wrist to his mouth and biting deeply.
Sho’s eyes flared with a pure carmine fire as he responded in kind, yanking Jun’s own wrist to him and sinking his fangs into the shiny skin of the burn mark.
The feeling was indescribable as their bodies and minds melted together with the need to take and be taken, give and be given.
Wrapping his hand tightly around Jun’s neck, Sho lent forward and pressed their lips together, the blood in their mouths mingling as their tongues tangled together.
The speed of Jun’s movements faltered momentarily as the sweetly bitter mingled blood slid down his throat, increasing his level of sensory perception to a level where it almost made the feeling of Sho’s blunt cockhead pounding against his prostate more than he could bear.
As if to compensate for Jun’s hesitation, Sho gripped Jun’s hips with his large hands as he help him to rise and fall against his cock as he sped up his thrusts into Jun’s writhing body. Although experiencing the overwhelming need to come, neither wanted to relinquish the powerful bond that was being forged in their minds, but it was impossible to resist the wave of heat that coursed through them.
Jun cried out, thick ropes of white filling the tiny space between their bodies as he came. Sho’s body convulsed, before freezing as he pumped his come into Jun’s twitching body.
As they orgasmed, the final strands of their mating bond knitted together in their minds. Their eyes flared red shot through with purple streaks, before they collapsed together into a swirling vortex of darkness.
++++
Sho came to his senses first, feeling Jun’s distress as he lay panting beside him, his skin littered with bite marks and scratches.
Ignoring the bites and scratches that stung his own skin, Sho pulled Jun into his arms, holding Jun’s limp body close to his chest and brushing back the damp tendrils of hair that hung over his face.
Jun’s eyes slowly opened, lids fluttering slightly before he focussed on Sho’s concerned face. “Mated? W-we are mates? I can feel you…”
“Yes Pet, we hold each other's hearts and minds.” Sho bent his head and began to gently lick at the wounds on Jun’s skin, soothing and healing them with his loving touch. “I hope I didn’t hurt you.”
His head spinning with new sensations and feeling slightly faint from Sho drinking from him, Jun swayed slightly as he leant backwards to gaze into Sho’s dark velvety eyes. “N-no, it was nothing that I didn’t enjoy. But I marked you too,” Jun traced his finger over a deeply bruised bite mark on the side of Sho’s neck.
“And it makes me proud to wear the marks caused by the intensity of your feelings,” Sho replied in soothing tones. Rest a little, while I tend to you and then you can take care of the worst of the bites on me, if you insist.”
Jun sighed and snuggled into his mate’s embrace as Sho massaged the back of his neck, the need to take and be taken momentarily quelled as they each adjusted to the new sensation of being half of a fully mated pair.
++++
Parting Jun’s cheeks Sho slid his tongue along the crack, lapping at the come that was sliding down to the mattress. He slipped his tongue inside Jun’s gaping hole, sucking lightly while growling deep in the back of his throat. “I told you once before that I wanted to eat you all up.”
Writhing in Sho’s grasp, Jun hissed, clawing at the bloodstained sheets as he felt the heat rising in his body once more, his erection pressing painfully against the mattress as Sho forced his body down. As he felt Sho’s fangs bite deeply into the flesh on his hip he cried out, head spinning dizzily as he felt Sho drawing his blood out through the punctures.
Strong hands gripped Jun’s waist, raising his hips high enough to allow Sho’s thick cock entry. Sho gripped a handful of Jun’s hair pulling him upright as he kneeled behind him, nipping at his neck.
Jun snarled, turning his head and raking his fangs across the side of Sho’s neck, as Sho began to thrust into him. They had both lost count of the number of times they had done this as the days blurred into a constant round of fucking and feeding from each other.
Before long Sho shuddered and filled Jun with his release as he bit hard on his shoulder, never tiring of the taste of his sweet blood.
Jun mewled weakly, his own come coating Sho’s hand as Sho stroked him to completion. After Sho pulled out and turned Jun to face him, soothing the fresh bite marks, Jun grumbled, “Next time I'm taking you. As your mate it's my right.”
Sho unsuccessfully smothered his adoring chuckle at the determination on Jun’s face and in his voice, knowing that, no matter how much Jun protested, he loved to be dominated and his protests were only token.
++++
"I never noticed that mole before," Jun purred, rubbing the very tip of his fang over the perfectly circular dark dot on the side of Sho's right foot.
Jun grasped Sho's foot, running the very tip of his tongue over the tiny bump, before sinking his fangs into the inside of Sho's ankle.
They both moaned as the dark liquid surged into Jun's mouth.
Jun licked his lips, missing one droplet that trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Sho reached for Jun, gripping his hair and tugging him up to his level, sensuously licking Jun's lips before flipping them over on the bed so that their positions were reversed.
"Why do you always distract me just when I am about to take you?" Jun gasped, between lengthy kisses from his new mate.
"Because we both know that you love it when I am inside of you, making you mine," Sho replied, licking a long stripe up the side of Jun's neck, before sinking his fangs into the delicate skin surrounding the mole on the left side.
As the moon was now on the wane, their love making was filled with less violent urgency and more tenderness, as once again Jun surrendered himself to Sho; relishing the feeling of being utterly consumed by his passion and love.
++++
“Jun, what are you doing?” Sho caught hold of Jun, who had been wandering around the cottage with a distracted expression. “Come back to bed.” He pushed Jun’s hair aside and pressed a kiss to his nape.
Jun, who was clad only in a bedsheet, wrapped around him toga style, gazed at Sho with dreamy eyes. “I was just thinking about how we can change some of these rooms around.”
“Really?” Sho was only half listening, being rather more interested in figuring out how to untie the twisted knot holding the sheet closed.
“Hmm, for instance, the small room next to the master suite would make a perfect nursery.”
Sho’s hands dropped from around Jun’s waist, blinking in confusion as his stomach churned with nerves. He knew that Jun would be able to sense his heart racing as he tried to come up with a suitable response.
“Nursery? You’re already planning for us to breed when we are still in our mating week? Jun I love you, and maybe one day…but so soon…I mean...we need time to…to”
The look of panic on Sho’s face as he backed away from Jun was priceless, at least to Jun who burst into laughter. “Are you seriously going to be that easy to tease? If so, being your mate is going to be awesome. Don't worry, I have no plans to breed for the next three or four hundred years or so.”
“Teasing? You were teasing?” Sho growled, lifting Jun up and tossing him over his shoulder. “I’ll show you teasing,” he added as he carried him towards the bedroom.
After tossing Jun down onto the bed with a bounce, Sho pressed him into the mattress, nipping at his neck as relief flooded through him. A moment later a vision of a tiny replica of Jun, with magenta eyes, calling him ‘Papa’ floated into his consciousness.
“Jun! Stop that!” Sho shook his head to dispel the thoughts that Jun had planted in his mind.
As Jun looked up at him coyly through the curtain of his long lashes, breaking into a fit of giggles, Sho growled before wrestling him into a very happy and sated state of submission.

The pair finally confronts their feelings and that scene where they're on Sho's hospital bed is SO SWEET ;;;; I was crooning the entire time, and for obvious reason like SHO IS SO SWEET THAT IS NO FAIR JUN YOU ARE SO LUCKY.
I mean, besides getting kidnapped by Yoko, but hey, at least he is dead right? :D
I'm looking forward to an mpreg epilogue, I hope you know that *winkwinks*

Date: 2017-11-03 10:09 am (UTC)There are many things I love about the ending, one of them being the brutal murder of Yokoyama. Consider me very satisfied, with the details of Sho attacking him first, and how all three of them avenged Jun this way.
Occasionally, I found Ohno to be a bit too obsessive in his protecting of Jun, so it was a big relief when he and Sho finally came to terms, and Ohno could sort of pass the baton of protecting Jun, to Sho.
I remember you saying you wanted to make the mating a mix of rough and sweet, and I think you definitely succeeded. Your love for fluff totally shines through here with the stone house in the forest, next to a lake, covered in darkness. Total dreamhouse right there xD
There was no ramming into furniture or walls, but lots of other things really appealed to me: The blood-sucking in various places (you know how I feel about Sho's pectorals? Well, consider me fanning myself when Jun bit him there. I would've totally done the same. Also Sho sinking his fangs into Jun's hips - whew), Jun's continuous 'I am gonna take you next time' with me shaking my head, sorry Jun not happening when we are talking about Sho - he is too dominant for that, the hair-pulling and their use of claws. These two are no joke, are they?
In my opinion, this is also how it should be with vampires and I LOVE the thought of them going at it once a year >:D
Finally, I really love the thought of Sho effortlessly tossing Jun over one shoulder and manhandling to wherever and however he wants Jun. Both adorable and truly hot.
I really hope you enjoyed writing this as much as I enjoyed reading. The vampire trope will never stop being hot, and now I am inspired to go write again, so kudos to you for that, really.
Thank you for writing this ^^

Date: 2017-11-06 02:44 am (UTC)I figured that you would only be satisfied with Yoko dying a bloody death. (Originally I only planned to have him locked up for eternity.)
Apologies for the lack of ramming into furniture, but Sho got Jun to the bed far too quickly...
Jun can dream of taking Sho, but we all (Jun included) know that it's never going to happen, but he can have fun trying.
I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I thought that it might not be 'grrr' enough for your tastes. No matter how hard I try I can't write dark and end up with fluffy.
You are going to write something new???? *excited jumping*
Thanks for reading and for your comments.

Date: 2017-11-09 04:50 pm (UTC)Haha well, no, there was a lack of 'grr' surely, but luckily plenty of hissing and growling and baring fangs, so I hardly noticed the absence of grr.
The story is in its baby-stage but yes, I am back at my station after a nice writing break. ^^ Yay

Date: 2017-11-03 09:49 pm (UTC)I loved the chemistry between all 4 of them. (Don't think that anybody would get anywhere near Jun ever again with them around. Those three are really scary.)
And Sho and Jun ... thanks for giving them soo much room in this chapter.
By the way Nino as a** of the day was hilarious all the way through :-)
no subject
Date: 2017-11-06 02:47 am (UTC)I think that after what happened to Jun, there is no way that they will drop their guards ever again.
I thought that Sho and Jun deserved some time together after all the drama.
Nino was fun to write, as always.
Thanks for reading.

Date: 2017-11-04 06:41 am (UTC)The teasing of making a nursery (for cute cute baby vampires) made me laugh. And when Jun instill that image inside Sho's brain made me cackle even me. How cute if we can see mini Sho or Jun running around wreaking havoc. lols.
Oh my I didn't imagine that Yoko and the gang was abusing Jun sexually too at school! So I want to give honorable badge to whoever kills Yokoyama in the prison (I'm super bad for being happy at this lols)
Ahhh I love this story <3

Date: 2017-11-06 02:50 am (UTC)I feel the need to write about baby vampires...epilogue?
At least Sho, Satoshi and Nino made sure that Yoko would never be able to touch Jun again.
Thanks for reading, my friend.

Date: 2017-11-05 10:31 pm (UTC)Sho fighting for Jun's life and offering him his blood was so heart-warming. I'm also glad that Satoshi accepted Sho in Jun's life, and actually let him be the one to give Jun blood. I don't know if these two will ever become true friends (after all, Satoshi is Jun's older brother and older brohters are always... well ^^) but it's great that they reached a mutual understanding and respect each other.
Jun waking up in his bed and then screaming and having panic attack was so sad. I think it might take a while for him to let go completely but he is on a good way <3
I love the scene with Jun crawling into Sho's bed, and the cuddling there and the confessions, the talk about the scars, and Sho asking Jun if he would become his mate, and Jun saying yes!
I'm also glad that Yokoyama received his punishment! (It were Nino, Sho and Satoshi, right?)
The smut was hot! I'm not even into biting or blood play, but somehow the smut here was great! So intense!
Love the little teasing at the end with an image of toddler!Jun in Sho's mind *lol*
Thanks for this! I wish there would be more about this verse :D
no subject
Date: 2017-11-06 03:00 am (UTC)I think that Sho and Satoshi will have a polite relationship, but never be true friends, they're just too different. But they, and Nino, and even Aiba will try to help him to recover from the trauma of his abduction.
I think the hospital scene is my favourite bit. It was nice to write some fluff after all the drama.
Yes, it was Jun's three protectors who made Yokoyama disappear (they vowed that he would die, and vampires keep their promises).
I will write an epilogue as soon as work (on Shoex etc) allows.
Thanks for reading always leaving such lovely and supportive comments.
