It's all in the look

Chapter 3 – Bi-colored eyes.
"Did you say something, Sakarazuka-sensei?" Subaru asked as he blinked innocently while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"No, Sumeragi-kun, I did not," he politely said as he took another sip of the soup. Or rather, something resembling that. It was hospital food, after all.
"Is he reading my thoughts?" Seishirou looked at the boy curiously. "He doesn't seem very special beyond that he's of the Sumeragi household. They're known for-"
"Hey you, just cool it," someone said in Seishirou's head.
"Ack." Seishirou almost spat out his soup if it weren't for the fact that Subaru was smiling at him trying to sheepishly look elsewhere while eating quietly.
"What do _you_ want?" Seishirou asked with his eyes going from side to side in annoyance.
"Hmm?" Subaru tilted his head at Seishirou and Seishirou was flustered at the cuteness of Subaru's curious face as well as his own stupidity for answering the voice in his head aloud.
"I didn't say anything," Subaru answered.
"Sorry." Seishirou said as he continued to drink the soup.
"Your destiny has been foreordained, Sakurazuka Seishirou!" the voice teased.
"Yeah, yeah, you stupid tree. I'm supposed to end up with this boy but I'm not supposed to tell him because somehow a secret is sleeping within him. It still sounds like a childish fairy tale." Seishirou answered uninterested and well….frustrated! (Does this mean sexual? Maybe.) "What do you take me for? Some prince on a white horse?"
"Wasn't your brother the model for Rayearth anyway? Well, besides that," the voice whispered, "You've got only two options."
At the same time, inside his mind, they both replied, "Find some way to take off the damn curse or accept it and marry the boy."
Seishirou looked at the boy in front of him who was smiling at him and continuing to eat while blushing.
"Why not? He seems decent enough. You can corrupt him because he's too innocent. And you're Seishirou Sakurazuka! How many times have you been in bed-"
"That's enough," he finally said.
Seishirou had lost his appetite.
"The last option is that you have to kill him," the voice continued hesitantly. "And there, kaput, the curse is gone too."
"And I'm going to die also with that," he calmly said with his tone lined with annoyance. "That's why I'm here in the first place. I…I can't kill him. It will upset the balance."
"That twin of his _is_ vicious." the voice answered sympathetically.
"It's not that." Seishirou looked at his hands. "I wasn't the one who had made this curse."
"Are you sure it's this boy?" he asked in deep contemplation as he found himself looking out the window. "This boy's too innocent to implement this kind of curse."
"Please trust me. It is him," the tree assured him telepathically. "If it wasn't, you wouldn't be getting all-"
"Shut up," he retorted.
Seishirou just looked at Subaru once more. "I don't feel like eating anymore…"
At that moment, Seishirou stopped talking as he found Subaru tilting his head slightly as if he were amused by Seishirou's lost look. Seishirou seemed to drift for just a second and Subaru couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Seishirou was getting bad vibes from this action.
And it got worse as Subaru's eyes became hazy with tiredness. Suddenly, he fell forward with his eyes closed as Seishirou reached out to him before his head hit the bowl before him. "Sumeragi-kun?"
At that moment, Subaru's head turned towards him with a faint smile of amusement. His eyes weren't green anymore, but gold.
Gold, like a myth of old.
A vampire's.
Seishirou was still holding onto Subaru when Subaru's sleepy, yet alluring gaze continued to capture him inside its trance. It was quite difficult to get out of it and he himself was surprised that he could fall for his own trick, having used it on numerous people before the moment of their death.
"What are you so amused at, Seishirou?" Subaru said as he pushed the rolling tray away and put his gloves on Seishirou's shoulders with a firm, yet gentle grip.
"Sumeragi-kun?" he asked once more, being taunted this way was shocking, yet enticing at the same time.
"Oh, why must you be so formal Seishirou? Surely, you know who _I_ am." Subaru pulled Seishirou's face so close to his that their cheeks almost touched. Whispering warmly to his ear, Subaru seductively said, "Are you the one trying to repress me? And what for?"
When Subaru pulled away, his hands gently grabbed onto Seishirou's cheeks. Seishirou gave him a stern look as he smirked. "I should know who _you_ are?"
Subaru laughed as he leaned his face directly on Seishirou with his warm cheek. His warm breath touched Seishirou's ear as he whispered without shame, "And what shall we do while _he_ is temporarily sleeping and Hokuto is gone?"
Seishirou smirked more as he whispered back while giving Subaru as sideways glance, "What do you have in mind?"
"I've been asleep for a couple of years…" Subaru answered with a smile on his face. "Care to wake me up with your blood, my beautiful assassin?"
At that moment, Seishirou didn't say anything.
Subaru's hand reached over to Seishirou and patted his thigh while looking at him almost sleepily. "Why so silent? You didn't have trouble with this years ago."
With this comment, Seishirou tilted his head while his amused eyes became slightly dark. As he pulled his glasses off and put them on the stand next to the bed, he leaned towards Seishirou while Subaru laughed while pulling back, but eventually landing back on the pillow behind him.
"I didn't," Seishirou answered as his lips came closer to Subaru's.
"Then why are you hesitant now?" Subaru then pushed his index finger onto Seishirou's lips. While shaking his head, he told him, "You'll have to chose someday. Between he and I."
The gold eyes disappeared at that moment.
Only the beautiful green ones were left to blink confusedly at Seishirou. "Are?"
