#1- Lost in

Paradise

Yori blinked her eyes groggily. The sun was settling high, its rays breaking through her eyelashes and intruding into her sleepy chocolate eyes, yet for some reason, she found that she wanted to sleep in. She turned around slowly on the mattress, but stopped midway when an arm seemed to be loosely draped across her waist.

She shifted again, and found that her ‘bed’ was unusually very warm… and comfortable...?

Something on the back of her mind told her that she had better get up, but a part of her wanted to stay in, even for just five more minutes. But her being Sayori Wakaba, she followed logic instead.

Boy, was she glad she did.

Turns out, she was sitting on none other than the infamous elite Night Class student, resident playboy and heartbreaker, Hanabusa Aido, and she was comfortably making a pillow of his chest.

He did smell good though.

Yori made a motion to sit up, careful not to wake the dozing ‘Idol’. However, it seemed that fate was not with her because intense blue eyes shot open, blinking and looking around before it settled at her.

They stared at each other, silent and unmoving, dazed and unknowing of what to say. Well, until Yori opened her mouth to speak anyway.

“Hanabusa-senpai.” Yori said, acknowledging his awakening in a soft voice.

He did not say anything; just continued to stare at her. “Hanabusa-sen-“

“Hmm?” She was cut off by his sudden response.

“Hanabusa-senpai, I need to sit up.” He didn’t answer this time, and instead looked at her quizzically. Yori looked down herself; he followed her gaze down.

To her chest

He was so not a pervert.

Down

Down

To her waist, which he was holding, very protectively.

Aido let go of her waist heatedly, mentally berating himself for acting so nervous.

“Uhh… err... umm... I-Uhh…Good morning?” He winced, well, he sounded stupid, even to himself.

“It’s noon, Hanabusa-senpai,” she looked around, face expressionless, then added, “And I’m not sure where we are.”

Aido looked at her blankly, not registering what she had just said. He looked around, then looked at her, looked around again, then at her.

His eyes lit up.

Oh…

And the light died down.

“I’m not sure either.”

Yori sighed, seems like they were going to be stuck in here for a while.

--

She was deep in thought when she heard Aido yawn. He had stayed up all night to look after them, incase there were wild animals lurking around waiting to pounce their ass when they were most vulnerable.

They had been sitting under a tree, leaning on its hard bark, for almost half an hour; trying to remember the events of the past day. Yori eyed her companion carefully. He looked exhausted, as if his energy was forcefully drained out of him, so unlike his usual energetic self. She sighed.

“Sleep, Hanabusa-senpai,” Yori whispered gently, unwilling to sound demanding.

Aido opened his mouth to tell her off, and that he was absolutely fine, but was interrupted by another yawn. She gave him a look, to which he responded with a grunt.

Nonetheless, he tried, but failed, to make himself comfortable against the hard bark of the tree. Because no matter the circumstances, elite noble vampires didn’t just sleep like this.

This was SO not his thing.

“Hanabusa-senpai,” she started, “You can lay your head here.” Yori patted her lap to emphasize her point.

He was about to protest again, she knew, so she swiftly cut him off with a smooth tone.

“You made me sit on yours.”

He reddened.

She gently laid his head down, while he was dazed, and made herself comfortable against the tree. Aido was about to get up, and downright refuse any of her attempts of seducing him into making a pillow of her lap. Nevertheless, all his previous contradiction flew out of the window the moment he felt her cool fingers running on his scalp while gently massaging it.

His eyes gradually closed, as he began to drift off to dream land, but before he fell into a deep slumber, he heard her voice say:

“Sleep tight, Hanabusa. I’ll take care of you this time.”

#2- Eye Candy

When Yori had first laid eyes on Hanabusa Aido, she had only thought of him as another Night Class eye candy for the Day Class girls.

Therefore, she had not thought of him again and got on with her life. It never crossed her mind that she would see more of him in the near future.

However, that was then.

An eye opener came, in the form of her best friend, and she had more than what she had bargained for. After knowing the truth about vampires, Yori never thought she would be more interested in Aido Hanabusa than she currently is.

Moreover, it never occurred to her that he was slowly, but indubitably becoming her obsession.

Like how she was becoming his.

#3- In the Rooftop Things can happen

The first time that she talked to Aido, they were both waiting on the rooftop and they weren’t really talking. Rather, she was proving a point and he was being an ass.

A group of Level E’s had been chasing them, and Aido was getting low on energy because he had been fighting all day and keeping her safe. The newly awakened Pure Blood had pleaded him to do so, and Aido, being well… Aido-ish, flatly declined, but with a few words here, a little threat there, and some blackmailing everywhere, he was forced into submission.

----

“Hide behind the water tank, and don’t come out until I tell you so.” He turned away from her and started out towards the exit.

“Aido-senpai,”

A hand gripped his wrist tightly, stopping him from getting anywhere near the door.

“Please, drink some.” Yori held her wrist to him.

“Tch.”  Aido scowled, and pried her hand away from his wrist.

“You need to regain the strength you’ve lost.” Her voice was serious, like their lives depended on it, which was probably true.

“And you expect me to suck your blood?”

“…yes.”

“Have you lost your mind?! Those damned E’s will smell us here!”

“I know, but you’ll be there to finish them off.” Somehow, what she said had boost his ego and it almost made him believe that everything was going right. However, her dead tone made him think otherwise.

“Aido-senpai...”

Yori brought her wrist closer to his face. Aido grunted and averted his head to the side. He was firm with his decision; there was no bloodsucking happening.

Seeing his obvious disagreement, Yori sighed and made her move. She bit her index finger so hard that it bled. Faster than Aido would have liked to notice, she pushed her bleeding finger inside his mouth.

Aido was left shocked.

Who knew this girl could be so bold?

He was about to remove her finger, when the taste of her sweet blood invaded his senses.

‘This isn’t fair… but it’s not like I forced her to do this, might as well take the chance. Those blasted E’s will get some major ass kicking once I’m done with this. ’

In the end, he could not resist the temptation of her sweet blood.

#4 Drug

To Aido, Yori’s blood was an addiction he couldn’t, can’t, and won’t get rid of. He was helplessly obsessed with her luscious blood, and it was slowly driving him insane.

Every time she would walk in, he had half a mind to just jump her, puncture her neck, and taste her oh-so-sweet blood.

Damn, just thinking about it makes him want to find her and do just that.

“Aido-senpai?”

Speak of the devil.

“What are you doing here?”

He turned around, a questioning look pasted on his face. However, the expression on her face made him realize something.

Oh, right! He was on the Day Class Dorm, the Girl’s Dorm.

Well, shiit.

“I-Uhh... I—umm... err... I was just looking around! Yeah! Just looking around… I was not looking for yo--err...  I mean… umm… yeah. Hahahahaha…” He laughed nervously, lightly scratching the back of his neck, while she merely raised an elegant brow at him.

“Uhh… You, what are you doing here?”  His brows suddenly furrowed, “Isn’t it a bit too late for you to be out?” He asked. There was still a hint of agitation on his voice, but he sounded sincerely worried that she did not miss a beat in answering him.

“I saw you.”

He was caught off-guard by her answer, his jaws dropping a little, and his eyes widening a fraction.

She followed him out.

Because she wanted to be with him.

If he were not an elite student and a noble at that, he would have damned pride and jumped in joy or hugged her while squealing like a fan-girl would. Sadly, he was, so he settled with a little reddening.

Aido cleared his throat uncomfortably and looked at her, red-faced.

Yori gave him a blank look, to which he responded with a much more redder face.

Hey, hey set me free
Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me

Oh god, he was a goner.

#5 Don’t call me THAT

“Aido-senpai,”

“…”

“Aido-senpai,”

“…”

“Aido-sen—“

“Stop that!”

“…”

“Hmph.”

“Stop... what, senpai?”

“That.”

“What is ‘that’?

“Stop calling me senpai.”

“But you are my senpai.”

“It’s still annoying!”

“Then how do you suppose I call you?”

“Uhh…”

Blush

Raised eyebrow

Blush harder

“Ha-na-bu-sa?” she asked, testing the syllables on her tongue.

Ripe-Tomato-red hard

“Would you like it if I called you that?”

He nods numbly.

“Hanabusa then.”

She looks around, above, then at him.

“I need to get inside, Hanabusa. It’s rather late.”

And he was the happiest vampire in the world.
