Chapter Seven

As his (E/C) eyes fluttered open, (M/N) saw moonlight streaming through the curtains, his bedroom illuminated in soft and silver rays. Without hesitation, (M/N) bolted up, just before seeing a silhouette standing in the corner of his bedroom. Instantly, (M/N) backed away, though the triplet known as Kanato Sakamaki soon ran off. "Come with me, (M/N)!" Kanato giggled, high-pitched laughter, footsteps echoing in the distance. "Let's have a tea party, (M/N). I'll be waiting for you, but don't keep me waiting for too long."

Of course, (M/N) reached for his medications, then took them with a glass of refreshing water. Even so, (M/N) didn't think the medications were working anymore, not in this terrifying situation as a captive. After all, (M/N) was wrought with horrifying nightmares, so many nightmares that the medications couldn't contain. "They still comfort me ..." (M/N) mumbled, hiding his prescription pills in the nightstand drawer, the antipsychotic medications which were no longer strong enough to help him. "I guess I'm addicted to them ..."

So, (M/N) did as asked of him, to attend Kanato Sakamaki's tea party. Ultimately, (M/N) hadn't a choice, but that much was evident as the Sakamaki brothers didn't take no for an answer. Essentially, (M/N) was hopeless, like Ayato Sakamaki said so. "Come play with me, (M/N)!" Kanato sniggered, his voice singsong, ringing throughout the dark and dreary hallways. "Teddy and I want to play with you, (M/N)! Come play with us!"

XOXO

While following Kanato's voice, (M/N) hugged himself, his nightgown failing to keep the cold at bay. Fortunately, (M/N) saw candles flickering in the distance, the bedroom doors barely ajar. So, (M/N) peeked inside, though saw shadowed Sakamaki brothers bent over a young woman who was whimpering in pain. "Oh, my god(s)!" (M/N) gasped, the silhouetted Sakamaki brothers whirling around, but their mouths visible in the moonlight to reveal fangs and blood, like from his hallucinations and nightmares. "S-Stay away ..."

Without hesitation, (M/N) stumbled backward, but then tripped and tumbled onto the ground. However, (M/N) was still cushioned, just sprawled on the plush hallway carpet. Although, (M/N) was slightly disorientated, except the silhouetted Sakamaki brothers were too busy toying with that young woman in the bedroom to prey on him. "It's Kanato's turn with our dear (M/N)," Ayato sneered, his voice familiar, hair shining in the moonlight, though the other Sakamaki brother shrouded in darkness. "And I heard (M/N) and hysteric are going to have a tea party. Maybe I'll crash it, have a little snack for myself."

Eventually, (M/N) shakily stood up, then saw Shu standing beside Ayato. Instantly, (M/N) scurried away, not anywhere in particular. Ultimately, (M/N) was trapped, so as long as the Sakamaki brothers were around. "I-I'm not crazy ..." (M/N) panted, hiding behind a statue, that was a ghastly gargoyle. "I can't be. I know what I saw. I saw those fangs from my hallucinations, nightmares, or whatever they are ... I saw those same fangs ... tearing through skin ... and the ... blood ... blood ..."

XOXO

In the distance, (M/N) heard humming, like singing. However, (M/N) felt drawn, just mindlessly following the lullaby. Unfortunately, (M/N) found himself standing outside of Kanato's bedroom, the one who had lured (M/N) into the Sakamaki mansion with his childlike deceptive looks. "I was waiting for you, but you don't look well," Kanato grinned, hugging Teddy tighter, his feet swaying back and forth off the armchair, the fireplace reflecting in his wide amethyst eyes. "Maybe if you eat something, you'll feel better. You know, I suggest raspberry pudding. It's my favorite!"

Eventually, (M/N) sat down in the armchair opposite of Kanato, then took the tall tulip sundae glass full of raspberry pudding. Hesitantly, (M/N) sampled the dessert, but soon grew fond of raspberry pudding. After all, (M/N) liked sweets, not as much as Kanato. "It's delicious," (M/N) smiled, just now realizing how hungry he was, considering he hadn't eaten anything since arriving at the Sakamaki mansion. "My favorite was always (chocolate, vanilla) pudding, but I think raspberry pudding might just be my favorite now."

Although, (M/N) was enjoying himself somewhat, that didn't deter (M/N) from being cautious. Ultimately, (M/N) didn't trust the Sakamaki brothers, even if they haven't hurt him. However, (M/N) was still their prisoner, considering that they're infatuated with him for some reason. "Teddy and I missed you so much," Kanato giggled, kneeling in front of (M/N), placing his head on (M/N)'s lap. "Now that you've returned to us, I'm never letting you go again."

XOXO

Again, (M/N) saw images of fangs and blood, his mind bombarded by faded flashes of teeth tearing through skin. However, (M/N) couldn't push Kanato away, the odd young man latched onto him. So, (M/N) reached down, to caress Kanato's lilac locks in hopes he'd fall asleep. "Your touch, Teddy and I missed it," Kanato sighed, nuzzling (M/N), then giving (M/N) a toothy grin, just wide enough for (M/N) to see sharp canine-like fangs. "The feel of your skin, your soft skin ..."

Suddenly, (M/N) yelped in surprise, when his thigh was licked by Kanato. Instantly, (M/N) started squirming, though Kanato was so much stronger than him. Unfortunately, (M/N) was forced to endure, considering Kanato wasn't finished toying with him yet. "S-Stop ..." (M/N) squeaked, pulling his nightgown down, the triplets were different but still seemingly sharing a perverted nature. "J-Just stop, please."

Eventually, (M/N) felt lips on his own, but he had enough at that point. Ultimately, (M/N) couldn't help crying, not that Kanato truly cared. Basically, (M/N)'s tears fascinated Kanato, so much so that Kanato was memorized. "The tears add to your beauty," Kanato smirked, stroking (M/N)'s cheek, thumb brushing over (M/N)'s parted lips. "You look more beautiful when you cry."

XOXO

When Kanato fell asleep, (M/N) slipped away, then trudged through the dark and dreary hallways again. Unfortunately, (M/N) tripped while running, his knee scraping on the tile flooring. However, (M/N) soon heard footsteps, the silhouetted figure of Laito coming into eyesight. "Did you hurt yourself, you poor thing?" Laito chuckled, kneeling in front of (M/N), inspecting (M/N)'s bloody knee, just before licking the trail of blood dripping down (M/N)'s leg. "You taste just as sweet as I remember."

Of course, (M/N) scrambled backward, but Laito took a hold of his ankle. Then, (M/N) was tugged across the carpet, just before being cradled in Laito's arms. Regardless, (M/N) was brought back to his room, where he had intended to go. "W-What are you?" (M/N) asked, grabbing his blankets, covering his body before Laito could taste him some more. "W-What are you and your brothers?"

Even so, (M/N) didn't receive an answer, not like he expected to. Although, (M/N) had a hunch, considering he had heard stories about vampires. Nevertheless, (M/N) thought that they're just fiction, perhaps there's truth in myths after all. "I think you know what we are," Laito smirked, leaning down, placing a kiss on (M/N)'s forehead. "Sweet dreams, darling."

A/N: What do you think? Leave me your thoughts.
