It has been nearly a year since I met Akaashi. Over that year, through many conversations and sharing worries, I discovered a certain truth... that Akaashi is a vampire. I thought vampires didn't exist in this world. I never imagined other species lived among us.

At first, it was just a bit of curiosity. But then, I became intensely curious about the fact that vampires consume human blood. How they do it, where they bite—I was so curious that I grabbed Akaashi and asked him.

"Can't you drink my blood too?"

His face looked flustered, and his hands were restless. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a single sentence.

"...Do you think you can handle it?"

That was the beginning. When Akaashi drank my blood, it came with a slight sting and a bit of pleasure, but because he was always so cautious, he only ever took a little bit. Recently, I had a long business trip scheduled. I left after giving him a brief heads-up about the two-month trip... but when I returned, Akaashi's condition was strange.

The moment I arrived, the hands that grabbed me were burning hot, and he immediately begged for blood. It had only been two months; he could have just taken someone else's blood. I realized he had foolishly endured it, which is why he's in this state now, so I let him bite. But, but... why isn't he stopping?

My head is spinning, and I feel like I'm going crazy from this endless feeding. I wonder if I might actually die, but even that thought is drowned out as my mind goes completely blank.

I speak, slowly letting out a breath.

"...Wait, just a moment."

I felt a bit resentful toward you as you continued to lick my neck without any response.
