Gently breaking apart from the embrace, Yuu stepped back, eyes still sparkling from the tears that were flowing. He hoped his eyes wouldn't get bloodshot; that would be mortifying. Mika stepped back, wiping his eyes again.

"It's actually you, Yuu-chan." He said, laughing gently. "You've grown." He said, giving Yuu a quick once over. Yuu blushed slightly, his cheeks flushing a soft red. "S- stop it… That's embarrassing." Yuu said softly, the blush slowly fading. Mika took a step towards Yuu, the raveonettes heart slowly speeding up at the closeness between them. Yuu could practically feel the aura emanating off of Mika, and it was anything but platonic.

With a gentleness that cracked Yuu's heart, Mika softly cupped Yuu's face, gloves stopping pale skin from meeting its tanned counterpart. Shifting his position, Yuu brushed the blonde's hand off his face, the red flush slowly returning.

Moving back, Mika smiled at Yuu, his eyes shining as he beamed at his reunited friend. "But wait, why are you here?" He said frowning. "Don't tell you were turned…" Yuu gasped, shaking his hands out in front of him. "N- no! I didn't get turned, don't worry! I'm still human!" He said, frantically denying the accusation.

Sighing in relief, Mika's guarded expression fell again, relief replacing the previous stress on his face. Yuu stared up at him, not able to brush off how much taller Mika was. 'Jesus, he must be 5 foot 10 or something; he's at least three inches taller than me.' He thought.

"So, why are you here, Yuu-chan?" Mika asked, curiosity evident as he leaned in. Tilting his head to the side, not unlike a puppy, he stared at Yuu, waiting for his answer. Backing up a few steps, Yuu reflected on the past few days. "It's… a long story." The ravenette said.

"Well, I have time." Mika said, still interested. Suddenly the door swung open, Ferid stepping into the room. "Ah, hello Mika. It seems you've been acquainted with our new guest." Flipping his hair over his shoulder, he strutted over to Yuu, who backed up, his face morphing into a visage of anger.

"Stay away!" He said, stretching his arms out to keep the seventh progenitor away. Giggling femininely, Ferid grinned at Yuu, before appearing directly behind him. "Sorry, but that can't be arranged. The Queen does need to see you, and I can't trust Mika dearest to escort you." He whispered into Yuu's ear, who shivered at the close proximity.

Scooping Yuu up into a bridal carry, he sprinted out of the room, Yuu screaming out obscenities as he was carried away. Blinking a couple times, he stared at the open door before running after Ferid. "Hey! Wait!" He said, reaching out as he followed the seventh progenitor.

Sprinting out of the castle through a side gate, Ferid finally reached a wealthy district of Sanguinem, where he expected his friend to be. Gently setting Yuu on his feet, Ferid blocked a roundhouse kick to the face, tripping the ravenette as the seventh progenitor ducked under the hook kick from the other side. Falling to the ground with a loud thump, he stared up, only to find a crimson haired vampire smirking back down at him.

"Hello, dearest Yuu." Crowley said as Ferid smiled, sliding backwards into the shadows of the large building beside the three. "You're welcome. I expect some of your finest blood as a reward." The seventh progenitor chimed out before disappearing.

Glancing back up at Crowley, Yuu gulped at the excited and slightly hungry look in the Vampires eye. Gently picking Yuu up, the crimson haired vampire laughed, touching Yuu's nose with his own. "Ah, My little Yuu was so cute on the ground, like a lost little kitten." He whispered as he leaned in, breathing over Yuu's earlobe. "MY lost little kitten."

Squeaking, the ravenette's cheeks turned a bright red as he fumbled around in the tall vampire's arms. "He- hey! Put me down!" He stuttered out. Nuzzling Yuu again, Crowley turned around, marching off to his manor. "Nope. I'm not letting someone take my kitten again." He said, nose gently rubbing against the side of Yuu's face, sniffing his silky hair.

"P- pervert! Let me g- go!" Yuu screamed out, struggling even more until Crowley stopped. Stopping to look up at the progenitor, he stared at Crowley's handsome face, and into his deep crimson eyes. Moving in, Crowley's mouth grazed Yuu's neck, the touch sending a warm sensation flying through Yuu's body as he shivered.

His teeth brushing the supple skin, Crowley smirked against the smaller teenager. "If my pets don't obey, they get punished." He said before slowly biting into Yuu's skin. The ravenette gasped as the toxin sank in, pleasure flooding through his system as he relaxed into Crowley's arms.

"Th- that's not f- f- fair…" He whispered as he went lax. Chuckling deeply, Crowley lapped up the blood that flowed out, tongue sliding over the enticing skin that swelled with the delicious blood beneath. "It wasn't meant to be, my little kitten." The progenitor whispered, stopping his actions to talk to Yuu.

"Now, let's get back to the house. I can't have other vampires staring at my little Yuu!" Crowley said, finishing up the blood that dripped out, the small wound closing as the remnants began to clot. Shivering again, Yuu went limp in Crowley's arms, passing out from the toxin and pure exhaustion.

Laughing, Crowley continued to stroll forward, oblivious to the other noble's looks as he walked towards his house. At least, he was oblivious until one noble tapped him on the shoulder. Sensing someone glaring at the back of his head, Crowley spun around, look darkening as he beheld a very angry blonde vampire staring at him, eyebrows furrowed as he glared at the thirteenth progenitor.

"What are you doing to Yuu-chan, Crowley?" Mika whispered in a dangerously low voice, the nearly vacant street clearing out as vampires left, not willing to see the dangerous confrontation that was occurring at that moment.

Smiling at the younger vampire, Crowley gently put Yuu onto the street, making sure to place the ravenettes head on his own arm, as Crowley didn't want Yuu to get hurt from lying down on the cold, hard stones.

Standing back up, he stared Mika in the eye, crimson eyes betraying the anger and contempt lurking behind his calm, emotionless smile. "Yuu is MINE, Mika. I'd appreciate if you left us here; I highly doubt you would survive a duel with me." Crowley stated, practically leering at the blonde before him.

Eyes widening, Mika gripped his sword, preparing to fight. Crowley slowly brought his hand to his side, also readying himself, but a groan from a few meters away stunned both vampires out of their conflict.

Both of the glancing over at Yuu, they watched as his eyes blinked open tiredly, the ravenette pushing his upper body of the pavement with his arms. Tilting his head to the side (not unlike the cute kitten Crowley thought he was), he stared at Crowley and Mika. "Hmm? What's happening?" Yuu said, voice practically purring out as he punctuated the sentence with a yawn, sealing the deal of Crowley calling him a kitten.

"Uh, Yuu-chan!" Mika said, a blush rushing to his face at the alluring pose Yuu was in. As his cheeks flushed with warmth, Mika stumbled back, all thoughts and negative feelings directed towards Crowley fading away at the sight of his new love interest.

Crowley, who was much more composed (and had much more self control) strutted towards Yuu, a soft, caring smile on his face as he picked up the much smaller boy in his arms, bridal style. "Hello, little kitten. How was your nap?" He asked Yuu, who yawned again, cuddling into his arms.

"Good." Was all Yuu replied before he fell asleep again in Crowley's arms, a result of both the slight anemia due to Crowley's drinking, but also from the heat and comforting feeling of being within his arms. Snoring lightly, he relaxed even further, causing Crowley to chuckle and walk to his mansion a little faster.

Staring at the two in front of him, Mika tsked under his breath, his tongue clicking against the roof of his mouth. "Don't worry Yuu-chan, I'll save you from Crowley!" He said before turning around and walking away rapidly, sparing a quick glance over his shoulder to look one last time at Yuu.

"God he's too cute." He muttered under his breath as he entered Krul's castle.

Gently resting Yuu on the red mattress, Crowley tucked him in, the soft smile remaining on his face. Eyes gently blinking open, Yuu stared at Crowley, his eyes glimmering in all their brilliance. Smirking down at Yuu, Crowley stood up, preparing to walk away. "Bye my little kitten." He said before walking away.

However, a small but strong tugging on his shirt stopped him in his tracks. Eyes widening in shock as he turned around, he found Yuu staring up at him, eyes glistening with barely concealed tears. Kneeling down besides the teenager, Crowley stared deep into him, his crimson gaze practically reaching Yuu's soul.

"What is it, little kitten?" He whispered, the gentle croon in his voice sending a warm rush through Yuu's body, who shivered from the new feeling. "Please, stay with me." Yuu said, cupping his face and bringing Crowley closer.

Nodding, Crowley slipped under the covers, wrapping one arm around Yuu and bringing him closer. Snuggling up to the vampire, Yuu relaxed into his arms, his face pressed against the vampire's chest.

Crowley never really needed any sleep, as he was constantly on guard, but with Yuu he was happy, calm, relaxed, KIND. Traits he hadn't embodied since his turning over nine centuries ago. "Hey, Crowley?" Yuu said, staring up at the crimson haird vampire. Gently returning his gaze, Crowley stared at Yuu in that warm way that always (or at least on this day) gave him shivers.

"What is it, little kitten?" He said, a small smile once again reappearing on his face. Gently nuzzling further into Crowley's chest, Yuu pressed his face into Crowley's ribcage, smiling softly. "Thank you." He said once, before practically passing out again.

Chuckling, Crowley moved to kiss Yuu on the forehead. "Good night my little kitten." He said, rubbing Yuu's back and falling into a deep sleep filled with the laughter and smile of the ravenette beside him.

Slowly stirring into consciousness, Yuu woke up pressed against Crowley, inhaling his scent of… Cookies? 'Did Crowley bake?' Yuu thought, still snuggled up tight against the vampire. 'I guess that would explain all the food earlier.' He concluded. Cracking on eyelid open, he stared through Crowley's body, thinking of how hungry he was.

"I need to go get some food." He said monotonically, slowly pushing the crimson covers away so as to not rouse the vampire beside him. Just as he started to sit up, the arms drapped around him suddenly wrapped hard, keeping him locked in place.

"Uh, Crowley?" He said, worry evident in his voice. Grunting once, the crimson haired vampire pulled him snug against his chest again, the soft lilt in Yuu's breath evident as his heart started beating faster, cheeks flushing a bright red.

Struggling, Yuu tried to push himself away from Crowley. "Hey, I'm hungry!" Yuu said, the vampire continuing to hold Yuu against himself in what seemed like an unbreakable grasp. "And I'm hungry for some time with my little kitten, so go back to sleep." Crowley half-grunted out, shifting ever so slightly into a more comfortable position.

Sighing, Yuu relaxed again, knowing there was no way out. "Whatever. I guess we're going to sleep again?" The teenager asked. Nodding against Yuu's forehead, Crowley slowly relinquished his hold on Yuu as he fell back into a slumber. His own breath slowing down, Yuu smiled as he too fell into the confines of sleep.

AN: Sorry for not posting to much; schools just been really concerning, and I had a bunch of tae kwon do and violin stuff... Yeah. Anyways, enough excuses. Expect some smut in the next chapter ;)
