Eternal Melody

SUMIRE

It is easy to crave forbidden things, over the things you already have. The craving comes from desiring something you shouldn't have. A craving to destroy, and disrupt the balance of the world.

Sumire woke up to the sound of her phone. Her gaze fell on Toh fast asleep and she exhaled deeply when she saw how pale his face was. 'I overdid it, and he should have stopped me.' Then again when she did try to stop, he provoked her into drinking some more. It almost reminds her of the first time they met.

When he is fast asleep like this, he looks childish. She extended her hand out and played with his hair. She recalled how she drank his blood with passion, and her cheeks coloured. What on earth has gotten into her? The first time she drank his blood it wasn't like this. When did it change?

Then again, when she first started to drink Toh's blood she was very cautious. Gradually she grew more and more comfortable. It didn't take long, after all, from the moment she met Toh she has always felt at ease around him.

Sumire stands up and makes her way to the balcony, and she slid the door open. The minute she stepped outside, a strong gust of wind blows across her cheek. She stretched her arms and takes her phone out. It was a message from Hino with some final jobs before her concert.

Her sweat fell seeing the long list. Geh, he really can be slave driver. She was planning on some bonding time with her children but it seems like she will have to save those plans for another day.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Sumire turned to see Toh. "Are you okay beautiful?"

Sumire slowly nodded. "Thank you for err..the blood." 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

Toh chuckled. "Anytime, being your blood bank certainly has its benefits.

She raised her eyebrow.

"I could feel your arousal."

Sumire froze and her face colour turned pale and Toh laughed.

"Relax. It was pleasant for me."

Sumire averted her gaze with flushed cheeks. "E-even so, it doesn't make it right. I'm sorry for taking it too far."

"It's not like you pinned me down, and I still had my clothes on. So, I don't think you went too far."

"W-why would I have to tear your clothes?"

Toh smirked. "I didn't say anything about you tearing my clothes. I see you like putting words in my mouth."

Her cheeks coloured even more and Toh caressed her cheek. "I'm glad you're looking better beautiful. It feels like your needing more blood recently, so maybe we should just increase our sessions."

"A-at night is fine, I don't need anymore-"

Toh's fingers brush against her lips. "I don't mind if you take more. Since I enjoy the pleasure I get from your bites."

"Y-you also feel-"

Toh nodded. "I do."

Now she knows this, she has to be more careful when she is biting him.

"I know you just fed, and it's quite late already. But, shall I get us some food? Maybe we can watch a movie together before we sleep."

Sumire shyly nodded and Toh pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Just relax beautiful, you have nothing to be ashamed about. Drinking blood and the sensations that come from it, is normal."

"If that's normal, t-then why do I feel so embarrassed?"

"It's because you're not used to being a hanyou yet."

"But, it's been awhile since I learned and I have been studying." Sumire pointed out.

"You've been getting most of your information from books, and while that knowledge is credible. You need to have personal experiences too."

She wonders if that's why Yuhi always suggests she drinks from others around her. Her thoughts break off when she hears the sound of her phone. Her dearest always has the best timing.

From: Yuhi.

Hey love, are you free to talk now? I want to see your pretty face and hear your beautiful voice.

Sumire rolled her eyes and giggled. He can be such a needy little flirt.

She turned to Toh who was still staring.

"It's Yuhi. Um, I'll just take this."

Toh nodded and exited the balcony, shutting the door on his way out and even closing the curtains. Sumire exhaled deeply. Toh really is a kind person, she doesn't deserve the kindness he gives her.

Sumire clicks the answer button and she hears a sleepy tone, before receiving a video call request.

"My dear?"

A very tired looking Terashima Yuhi appeared on the screen. From the looks of it he was on the couch, just waking up from a nap.

"Hey you."

"If you're tired, you should sleep more."

Yuhi laughed. "If I'm tired, it's because you're invading my dreams all the time."

Sumire felt her cheeks colour knowing exactly what he was implying. She finds him looking at her, at her clothes that shaped her figure and she exclaimed. "S-stop oggling me!"

Feeling self conscious, she tugged on the sweater tugging it down so Yuhi wouldn't see her legs. But it was too late already.

"You're asking for the impossible, my pretty wife."

"D-did you need something?" Sumire stammered.

"It's almost time for your concert. I just wanted to check on you." Yuhi trailed off. "I know you get nervous before each performance, and while I can't hold you in my arms to reassure you. I thought maybe you'd want to talk."

Her heart warmed hearing his words. Yuhi was awkwardly averting his gaze. He really is clumsy at this. But, he still puts in the effort even if it makes him uncomfortable.

"For now, I'll settle for talking. But you can make it up to me next time we are in the dream space."

"How exactly do you want me to make it up to you?" Yuhi raised his eyebrow and she giggled.

"That's where you start using that handsome brain of yours that I like so much."

Yuhi's lips curved to a smirk. "On this topic, I don't think I have to do much thinking. I told you already Sumire, I have had a lot of time to think of what I will do to you when I return."

Sumire tilted her head. "I think you can be more creative. Moreover, I have to wait until you return for those things you already have in mind. You should be using your head, for what you'll do to me in the dream space."

"Brat." Yuhi trailed off. "But I suppose if your pretty head already has ideas, we can start there."
