"Kokichi-" I started while I went to move my head away. Kokichi shrugged the sleeves of his shirt off his shoulders so I would have better access to his neck. This cut me off as well as the fact that he moved my mouth back down to his neck. I could smell how calming he smelled. I could feel how much he trusted me to do this and it helped me be able to feel more confident in myself.

"Shuichi, stop hesitating," He said, sounding demanding. I flinched at his words and felt embarrassed for having made this process so much longer because of how I'm hesitating.

"Sorry, I know you are nervous about this..." He paused moving his fingers to rub the skin on the back of my neck. I flinched at the touch at first before I became more relaxed. I slowly moved my lips back to his shoulder. Okay Shuichi, you have to do this...Kokichi trusts you and this is going to make it easier for him to be safe because of the vampire that is after us trying to get our bond....

My teeth came in contact with his skin before they ended up breaking through the skin as the times I had done this before. When I did this I felt his whole body shudder at the sensation. I felt so connected to him just as all the other times we have done this before. It was as if we were more connected than before. I felt him hold my head in place and let his body go limp against the bed. I felt a little panicked at his reaction to the bite, but he held me in place even though he seemed to be more vulnerable because of the state the bite put him in.

I wanted to pull away and apologize for everything...the attacker he was beat up from because of me...and because of how hesitant I have been the whole time we were going to do this transformation process. I wish I was able to ask him about it earlier or even talk to Cathy about it so he wouldn't have gotten hurt or worse...bit by that vampire.

I was so worried about losing this bond we have as well as the feelings we have for each other all because of this man that wants a new mate. He already had Cathy and Cathy seemed to love him a lot so why would he...leave her like that. I feel so sad for her, because I know her pain is way past my pain. The pain of whenever Kokichi gets hurt or cries because of something that happens. It hurts me a lot when these things happen...but I know what happened to her all that time ago must have hurt a thousand times more.

I focused back on Kokichi deciding that it was time to pull back before injecting him with the poison...God, I know how much it hurt when I got it injected into my system...especially after it happened and the days I was recovering from it...I hope that the pain doesn't last too long because I don't want him to be in any more pain than he has to be in.

After a few moments of me drinking his blood as I had done some times before this, I pulled away before looking into his eyes. There was some blood dripping off the side of my mouth while my cheeks were still the same red color they were before. He looked mesmerised by my eyes. The faint light coming through the window let me be able to see the tint of pink on his cheeks. It complimented the faint flush on his shoulders and neck. I looked down at the bite mark feeling a little guilty about how there was still some blood dripping down his neck. I was distracted before I realized that Kokichi's mood seemed to change into a more lonely one.

Feeling guilty I looked back at him and saw him shaking a bit. Probably from the cold. I felt a little proud of myself for actually making the first bite...but at the same time I felt super guilty for making him still feel uncomfortable from the cold. I don't know if he even noticed, because of how he was looking at me with a dazed expression on his face, but I moved my hands to his shoulders to gently rub his arms. He felt so warm from under me and it made sense that he was feeling cold.

I moved back down so my mouth was once again hovering over the bite. I felt Kokichi calm down a bit as I did this so for a small moment I just stayed in this position with him. I focused on his chest rising and falling as I opened my mouth again.

I bit into his neck again making his body flinch again. He groaned slightly at the pain of the venom coming into his body. I felt bad because of the way he reacted to the venom...and I could tell he was trying to hold his groans back...and honestly it made me feel a little better that he didn't seem to be in much pain, but still...I hated how he was in pain because of me yet again.

I soon pulled back to look in his eyes once more. It seemed like a thousand words were said between us as we looked into each other's eyes. I felt like for once I was at peace with this. At peace that Kokichi would be more protected with the heightened senses a vampire possesses.

"Kokichi are you alright?" I asked looking down at him. He seemed like he was overcome with exhaustion as he mumbled, "Shu...?" before his eyes slid closed.

"I love you Kokichi," I whispered before I quickly wrapped the blanket around us as I held him in my arms. I felt like we were safe for the first time after the accident, like nothing would come between us, because in this moment it was just me and Kichi.
