Cravings
*Yuu's POV*
"Mika?" I asked as I watched him carefully. We were sitting on the bed in our room, watching a casual movie that was already on the telly.
"Yes?" Mika asked tensely.
"Are you okay?" Mika turned to look at me with a weak smile.
"Yes." He was lying.
After Mika and I had apologised to each other the previous day, we were starting to become closer and I was feeling more comfortable around him. He hadn't really ordered me around or was mean to me lately. He treated me with respect and care, which was quite shocking actually.
I admit, I was starting to enjoy his company. But I still couldn't fully forgive him, of course. He had done too much to me. But for now I was okay.
I still wished I could see my friends at least one more time to ask them how they are and to tell them that I'm okay now. But I can't. I probably won't ever seen them again.
"Yuu-chan?" I glanced up at Mika.
"Yeah?"
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Sure, what do you need?" Mika gulped.
"Can you get a bottle in the fridge in the white kitchen, labelled 'BOOJE' for me?" I blinked in confusion.
"Do you mean booze? Sheesh, Mika. Craving alcohol already." I shrugged and starting to get up.
"Wait stop!" I froze and turned around after I was at the door.
"What?"
"Not booze, BOOJE. It's a concoction for vampires." I coughed awkwardly.
"Oh."
I retrieved it in the kitchen fridge.
When I got back to the room, Mika was rocking back and forth, nervously staring at the TV. I handed it to him and he took it in relief.
"Thank you so much, Yuu."
"No problem." I plopped down next to him, but he scoot away from me as he popped the cap off. I frowned.
He then put the top to his mouth and chugged it down immediately. My eyes bulged. What the hxll!
"Whoa, whoa. Slow it down there buddy." I said nervously. Mika looked at me with concern on his face. "What?"
"I'm really tired." He lied. "Can I have some space to lie down?" I squinted my eyes at him but the shrugged.
"Sure." I got up. "I'm going to go bother Lacus." Mika forced a weak smile to me.
"Good idea."

"I don't get it...he's acting really weird." I stated as I sat down on the couch in one of the fancy living rooms. Lacus just laughed, causing me to frown. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, Yuu."
"What?" I was clearly annoyed.
"He's craving human blood." My skin paled.
"W-What?" Lacus looked amused at my fear.
"Don't worry about it, Yuu. Mika is really good at controlling his anger."
"How so?"
"Well, he drinks BOOJE which is to control blood thirst. It has animal blood in it to control him."
"Oh. Why did he ask me to leave?"
"Well, he didn't want to hurt you."
"O-Oh." I blushed and Lacus grinned.
"See? He really does care about you."
"I know." I whispered. It was seriously a touchy subject.

*Mika's POV*
"Gosh d##nit!" I cursed. The urge was too strong.
It didn't help that my bed smelled like Yuu-chan, and so did my clothes. I needed to change and get the hxll out of there.
So that's what I did.
I hid in one of the lounges and gripped my blonde locks. What was I going to do? Blood was the only thing on my mind.
I knew it was too good to be true. At some point my cravings were going to come back. This is why my mother always told me not to keep humans in my house when she stopped by.
I was an absolute idiot.
Sighing, I made my way over to the piano and started to play. Playing piano always calmed down my nerves when I had cravings. It made me relaxed and focused on something other than blood.

Walking by a slightly closed door, I paused and listened. A beautiful, sweet melody was drifting out of the room.
Someone was playing piano.
"Who's playing? They're amazing." I asked Lacus.
Please to say Ferid. Wait—isn't he banned from the castle anyways?
"That's Mika." Lacus tried not to laugh. I blushed.
Of course it was.
"He's really good." I croaked. Lacy's finally let the laugh he had been holding in, out.
"I know. He plays all the time."
"I wish I could go in there." Lacus grabbed my arm.
"Don't."
"I know." I said glumly.
"Hey, he'll be fine."
"How long does it take for him to calm down?"
"Not long."
That wasn't a good enough answer for me.

I sat on the couch in one of the living rooms, watching TV in boredom. Where was Mika? Was he okay?
Lacus had gone off saying that he had important business to talk about with someone that I didn't know. I was bored out of my mind now because I had no one to talk to.
"Ugh." I spoke to myself. How much longer was Mika going to take to calm down?
All of a sudden, my prayers were answered. Mika came walking in and plopped down next to me. I flinched and scooted back to give him some space.
"Um..." I spoke nervously. Mika laughed.
"I'm only now, Yuu." I relaxed.
"Oh."
"Come here." He opened up his arms. I scooted in and snuggled up to him.
"I'm sorry." Mika frowned.
"For what?"
"It was my fault, wasn't it?"
Mika fell silent.
"I knew it." Mika sighed.
"Please don't blame yourself, Yuu-chan. It happens. I'm okay, don't worry."
"Are you sure?" I looked up at him. He down at me gently.
"Yes. Now, want to go cuddle in our room?"
Our room.
Sadness flashed deep inside of me but I pushed it away.
"Sure." I replied. His smile widened.
"Okay, let's go." He scooped me up and carried me to our room.
We cuddled for the rest of the night.
