Eternal Melody

YUHI

Sumire was looking at him curiously. "Can I?"

Yuhi nodded. "But, first. Let me feed from you."

Since he returned to her, he has only drank her blood once or twice. He wanted to focus on filling her desire, her need for him.

His need for her however has only increased the past few weeks seeing how much she has changed.

He supposes he has Mashima to thank for Sumire being more honest with himself.

'He did that, even knowing that if Sumire became more honest. She would reveal her desires to me.'

She tastes so damn fine.

After drinking for a few minutes, Yuhi had to pause. A person can send images/memories down when they are drinking. But, they can also unintentionally leak them. Sumire still doesn't have control of it. So, right now, what she is showing-

When did she become this bold? Or has she always looked at him like he was her meal, waiting to be devoured by her?

Yuhi frowned at a certain memory.

So, that's why she smelled like Mashima.

"How was Mashima's lap?" Yuhi mumbled.

"H--hey! You're prying too much."

"Tsk, if I didn't. Would you have told me?" Yuhi lectured.

Sumire averted her gaze and sighed. "I want you to trust me."

"I do." Yuhi nodded confidentiality.

It doesn't stop him from trusting her more than he trusts himself. It's dangerous thinking this way. But, it's Sumire. She has always been different.

"It doesn't stop me from being all territorial and acting like an alpha male." Yuhi mumbled.

Sumire laughed. "Well, it's not a bad side."

Yuhi continued to drink, and at some point Sumire had his shirt removed. Not that he minded. She can do whatever she wants to him.

"Yuhi I want you to know that Toh he-he won't overstep any boundaries."

'I think what he did earlier was overstepping enough boundaries. But, I do understand where she is getting at.'

Mashima will never do anything Sumire doesn't like. But that means he knew that knowing Sumire would be fine with it. Yuhi takes a deep breath and copies what Mashima did to her earlier, causing the most beautiful sound to leave her lips.

"Yuhi--" Sumire said weakly.

So, she does have a weak spot there. Tsk, it's annoying he didn't discover it first.

"If, if you keep sucking there. You'll leave marks."

"That's the plan."

He needs to warn Mashima. After sucking and biting her neck for a few minutes. Yuhi inspects the marks, satisfied with his work before drawing his lips back.

Sumire was a cute blushing mess. It almost made him want to attack her again.

Yuhi shakes his head and focuses on helping her wash her hair.

A content sigh passed her lips. "Yuhi."

"Hmm?"

"I was uh, thinking. Could we go on a trip together?"

A trip huh? Indeed, it would be nice to have some time to themselves after everything that's happened.

Yuhi nodded and her eyes brightened but she suddenly turned shy. "We could work on making more children and doing what you want."

At those words he felt his heart beat increasing again.

Why does she keep doing this?

Oh wife, if they really did whatever he wanted. She would definitely change her opinion of him. Ever since he started dating her, he has been very careful whenever he held her. Even when he slowly started to become 'serious' he was still careful. Sumire probably realized that.

"Is that an issue for you?" Sumire said, noticing the odd look in his eyes.

Yuhi shakes his head. "I'm just overwhelmed that you're by my side again, and that I even have the luxury of having this conversation with you."

Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck. "My dear, you really suffered didn't you? Actually, I spoke about this with Toh. When you called and he picked up, he said you sounded off. Hino too, has been telling me that I shouldn't be so needy and demanding. My dear, what's wrong?"

Hearing Sumire say those words, Yuhi felt very emotional and almost told her everything on the spot. Almost, because how is he supposed to explain something he doesn't understand? How is he supposed to explain the loneliness and despair he felt without her being there? It would make him sound so pathetic. Sumire had a harsher time than him. She had to give birth on her own and take care of the twins, while dealing with the toxic environment of the entertainment industry.

Sumire must have realized that he wasn't going to say, since she started to place kisses down his neck. Yuhi didn't say anything and helped finish washing her. Once they were both cleaned up, he picked her up and carefully placed her on the bed and grabbed a towel. He dried her hair, legs and the rest of her body.

The entire time Yuhi felt Sumire staring at him intently. The intensity of her gaze made him flinch. It's almost like she is staring long and hard enough to see into his soul. 'I'd hand that over to her on a plate if I have to. I will give her everything she wishes.'

After he dried her, he helped slip on her nightgown. As tempting as it was to sleep naked with her. The weather has been getting colder.

"Yuhi, I really, really love you." Sumire said, breaking the silence.

Yuhi froze hearing those words.

"I probably don't say it a lot, and if I do it may have come across as being superficial. A lot has happened these past three months, not just with Lucifer."

Yuhi knew Sumire was doing her best to comfort him, but all he could think about was how vague those words sounded. 'Not just with Lucifer.' He couldn't help but focus on those words.

Sumire suddenly paused and exhaled deeply like she just realized, since she cursed. She pushes him down on the bed.

"Okay dearest, let's just-"

Yuhi, who had been silent the entire time, pulled the girl so she was beside him. "Cuddle?"

Sumire blinked and she laughed, that beautiful laugh he loves so much. She snuggles into his hold.

"Mm, let's cuddle."

His gaze softened hearing her light hearted tone. He doesn't want to stress her out. Although they have gradually been having small serious talks, Yuhi stops them whenever he thinks it's getting too much for her. She already has enough to deal with, he can't add to those burdens.

Even if Sumire doesn't mind, he does.
