After a lot of struggles, it was finally decided that it would be Kazu-kun who would be ordering the food, and I, rightfully so, was not content with that outcome. I should be the one spoiling him, but he is so adamant about being the perfect gentleman. I absolutely love him for it, but can you please just let me show you how much I appreciate you?

It was because of me being taken away that Kazu-kun had to be put in such a situation. He almost died there, and now here he is with that big, handsome smile on his face, literally asking to be loved. I just want to put him under me and kiss him all over. Aaa,h and he has been looking even hotter than he used to. This is all your fault, Kazu-kun. I may just end up losing all patience and pounce at you, and you are the only one to blame. Who told you to be so perfect? Not that I am complaining, though.

Still, him now being a half vampire does come with its own problems. He is not able to control his blood thirst very well and often goes rabid. To be honest, even I was scared of what he did last night, but the moment he snapped back, the sheer mortified look on his face put all those feelings away. He is not as stable as he thinks, and I can feel it. I am happy that he is trying to control himself to the best of his abilities, but I can still see his instincts winning over him moment to moment.

Maybe it is because he was turned in such a different way. He was on the brink of turning into a vampire naturally, but then…he almost died.

Unforgivable.

I clench my fist, looking down, feeling the feeling of guilt coming over me. I don't think I will ever be able to forgive myself for letting myself be overtaken by the want of revenge that it led to almost him being killed. I should not have gone after that bastard that night and gotten caught. If only I had more restraint, things would be different now. He wouldn't have to be turned into a half, which may just mean he also has a smaller life span like me.

His warm hand was placed on mine, and I looked up, locking eyes with him. He had a worried look on his face. Aaah…he is so handsome. No, not the time for that, but he does look that good.

"What is it, Ai?" he asked me, pulling me closer. "What is bothering you?"

Right, he could easily tell something is bothering me. He always could.

"No, it's nothing," I said and shook my head, but his eyes looked sterner. Come on, this is unfair. Don't look at me with those beautiful eyes of yours. "I just…" My lips quivered, worried that if I voiced my thoughts, he would start to worry more.

Before I could continue or say anything, he pulled me in a hug and rested my head on his chest. I looked up only to see the beautiful sight of him softly smiling at me.

"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself. Take as much time as you need, I will always be here to listen to you," he said and placed a kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes and let myself feel better in his arms.

His hand started gently caressing my head, and I snuggled myself comfortably in his chest. This is right. This is perfect. This is all I ever need. Just let everything stop and let me live in this one moment forever, close to the one I love the most. His warmth was comforting, his voice was gentle, his heart was beating at a steady, soothing pace, and his smell was slowly putting me into a trance.

"Can we stay like this until the food comes?" I asked him without opening my eyes. "Please."

"You don't have to say please for that kind of stuff, dummy," he said and held me tighter. I love this. I want to hold me tighter, but I know any more and I would probably break some of his bones.

"That is not why I say please," I muttered to myself.

I beg this universe to listen to my selfish request and let the happy moments like this stay forever.

We continued to stay in that for what should have been an eternity, but was only twenty minutes. The bell of the apartment rang loudly, bringing us back from paradise. Who is that person? Why must he interrupt our time alone? This won't do. He doesn't deserve to live. I have to make him pay for getting my Kazu-kun's attention. I look at Kazu-kun, who was getting ready to sit up and head for the door, and I stayed stuck to him, not letting go.

"Ai, the food is here," he said. No, it's not, the food was holding me before, and is now wanting to run away. I pouted and shook my head, not letting go of him. He tried a little to make me budge, but I didn't move even an inch. "So that's how it will be, huh?"

Next thing I knew, he turned around with me stuck to his back, and he stood up with no problem. I was taken aback again by how strong he has grown and was now holding him in a piggyback ride style. His back felt thicker and broader compared to the time when I "visited" his place. This is bad, he is not only handsome but also strong and with a good body. I noticed it a lot more thanks to our adventure last night, but doesn't he look a bit too good? This is no good, women will notice how amazing he is and try to take him away from me. I cannot let this happen.

Oh no, his neck is right in front of my face. Aaaaah, it looks so nice and slender. I can take a bite out of it, right? Just a little more of my Kazu-kun's sweet blood. Please let me have some of your delicious blood. The burgers can wait. Kazu-kun is way more delicious than that anyway.

"If you bite me right now, I may just have to not give you the reward I decided later," he said to me, and my ears perked up the moment he said reward.

Reward? What kind of reward? What will he do? Is it going to be the same as yesterday? Eeeeep! Oh, please do. I am so starved of him, I need him so bad. Aaaaah, forget about the blood or the burgers, I just want to eat him already.

My face started to heat up, and he chuckled. He is so adorable when he does that. It makes my heart flutter. He started to walk towards the door and opened it, where stood a man with a bag that smelled amazing. He looked confused as his eyes fell on us. He looked at Kazu-kun, then back at me, then back at Kazu-kun, and back at me.

"K-Kazuki-san?" he called out Kazu-kun's name.

"That is me," Kazu-kun replied.

"H-here, your order," he said and quickly handed the bag to Kazu-kun before walking away just as fast. I wonder what happened to him. Not that I care, Kazu-kun is the only one that matters to me.

Kazu-kun closed the door and walked towards the dining table, and put down the food. I reached from behind him and opened the ba,g and took out some fries, putting them in my mouth. Yep, the French fries from this place are really the best.

"Kazu-kun, say Aaah," I said, holding some more fries before him.

"Aaah," he did as I said, and I put the fries in his mouth. "Ooooh, these are good, I don't remember them having fries this good before."

"That is because the branch here is deemed the best in all of Tokyo. I think it was the manager who was super precise about how everything was prepared to cooked," I explained to him, puffing my chest. "It only makes sense because I influenced her to make those changes."

"You did?" he asked, turning his back in a snap. "How?"

"Hehehe, that's a secret," I said and winked at him.

I really did like this brand since I was a kid, but after some years, they decided to change their recipes and even the products they used to make their food. It was a big overhaul, which did make it more popular since it was more akin to a worldwide taste, but I didn't like the changes. So, I just decided to go behind and pull some strings.

"So how do you plan on eating? Do you want to stay on my back the entire time we have lunch?" he asked me, and I started thinking. If I am to stay like this, I will be close to Kazu-kun, and since either one of us has to hold the other to keep this up, we probably have to feed each other…! I want that!

"I'm staying like this!" I proudly exclaimed. Kazu-kun let out a little laugh and, with no protest whatsoever, reached into the bag and pulled out the burger I ordered and held it before my face.

"Ai, say aaahn," he said, and looking at him like this made me blush a little. This is happening! I am so happy!

"Aaahn," I opened my mouth, and he put the burger as I took a bite out of it. It tasted so much better than I remember now that it was him feeding me.

I seriously love him too much.
